"It's not necessarily a good thing that happiness comes too quickly. ”

Langdon stood in front of the window on the top floor of the Lord's Palace, looking out at Yuanwang Town, which was obviously much more prosperous than before, and sighed.

Not long after he gave the order, he didn't know if the three dark elves had received the order, and certainly didn't know what was going on on the Wall family's side, and even if he did, there was nothing he could do.

Not to mention how long it had been since the incident when he knew the news, even if he could give feedback in the first place, it would be too late to reach the dark elves again, and such a big thing needed an immediate reaction, not a little late.

At this moment, Langdon suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the past, if he had two mobile phones in his hand now, no, they didn't need to be so advanced, just give him two transmitters.

Of course, these can only be thought about, so he simply doesn't think about it, and his exclamation is not because of that, but because of the situation in front of him.

There were quite a few people from Vivien and Joanna, most of them businessmen of all sizes, who felt that there was a business opportunity here.

Of course, they couldn't come here alone, and they basically brought some of their subordinates with them, which was the main reason why Yuanwang Town was so prosperous now.

However, this bustling scene is only temporary, more like an illusion, which can be seen by just looking at the number of shops opening on the streets of Yuanwang Town.

Nearly 30 stores, a number that really shocked him when Langdon returned, and made him very happy, but now it seems that this is clearly not the case.

The people who came were all businessmen, not to mention that there could be 100 of them, but there were still 70 or 80 of them, however, only a little more than one-tenth of the shops that really decided to set up shops here - more than half of the nearly 30 shops were built by Lu Zijing using the strength of the territory himself, and only 10 of them really belonged to foreign investment.

As for why those merchants are still hesitant or even willing to invest in setting up shops here, in fact, the reason is also very clear.

The main problem is demographics.

With the current population of the territory, it is impossible to support the existence of so many shops at the same time.

More importantly, Langdon's territory lacked a floating population.

That's right, that's the big problem.

In another world, more than 70% of a city's population may be migrants, and the free population of the city is a very small number.

And now, the floating population of Yuanwang Town ...... Less than 2% of the total population means that there are almost no outsiders.

This is actually a very contradictory thing.

If you want to attract foreign population, you need a very complete urban construction and sufficient population resettlement space, including clothing, food, housing and transportation, and Yuanwang Town is unable to attract people because of this problem.

But, on the other hand, why would the businessmen want to come here? Of course, because there are more opportunities to make money here, and where the money comes from, of course, is the people.

In another world, there is no problem in quickly developing a small place into a big city, but that requires the strong support of the upper levels of government and government.

Langdon's Yuanwang Town is not a small fishing village by the sea, and there is no old man who draws a circle with him, of course, it is impossible for the upper class to invest a lot of financial, material and even human resources in him, he can only rely on himself.

But fortunately, he still has his mother and a few sisters, and now he has the cheekiness to go around and come back, and finally attract enough businessmen, so the main problem now is the floating population, as long as the population here increases, there will inevitably be more people willing to invest in those businessmen.

"It's good that everything grows cool, and there's a lot of grain to harvest, which means another trade, well, this opportunity should be put to good use. ”

"However, this kind of opportunity is a one-time and short-term one-time thing, and if you want to keep people, or make them willing to pass through here more, you need more things......

"Hmmm......"

As if thinking of something, Langdon called a servant and asked him to gather the three girls.

"My lord, what's the matter with us? I'm very busy right now, and there are so many merchants waiting for me to fool them into staying. Soon, the three girls arrived, and Lu Zijing was the last to arrive, and as soon as she entered the door, she began to babble.

"What is fooling, this is called win-win mutual assistance, pay attention to the words, don't say it outside, it's not good. Langdon reminded.

"Hehe, you're still cunning. Lu Zijing spit out her fragrant tongue and said with a smile.

There was a black line on Langdon's head, so he simply ignored her and started his own topic, "You should all know the issue of the territory now, especially Zi Jing, these affairs are handled by you." ”

"You know, there is no business? Lu Zijing said in one mouth.

"Our territory, in fact, has been in a very deformed development situation from the very beginning, and it is not easy to make changes, but it has embarked on another deformed route. Langdon nodded and said, "This is the reason why the territory has not been able to get up, if you want to really make the territory rich......"

"Plant trees!" Hogg interjected suddenly.

"Huh?" Langdon was stunned, his mind completely unable to keep up with Hogg's thoughts.

On the contrary, Zhu Lingqi on the side was extremely calm, and still maintained a three-no state to explain for Hogg: "If you want to be rich, have fewer children and more trees." ”

"Huh?" was another monosyllabic word, and the expression on Langdon's face had changed from confused to blind.

"No, no, that's the whole story. Lu Zijing had already begun to make a final summary of the words of the two girls, "If you want to be rich, you must first build roads, have fewer children and grow more trees." ”

"Huh?" This time Langdon understood completely, but he couldn't help but say the word, and the expression on his face turned into a pain.

He really wanted to ask them who taught them these words, but after thinking about it, he probably led to something more bizarre, and finally gave up on the idea.

Clearing his throat, Langdon calmed down and said, "In short, you have a sentence that is right, we should build the road now! You think, why no one wants to come here now, first, because we are not famous enough, but there is another reason, isn't it because it is too troublesome to want to come here? The road is not easy to walk, and there are all kinds of dangers along the way, how can you fool in this situation...... No, it's a sincere invitation to more people to come to us?"

Build roads and clear road sections, this is the main purpose of Langdon's meeting of the three of them this time.
