"President Xu, why do you have to keep these goblins as labor?" After giving up on the idea of dissuading Xu Yi, Varus quickly turned his doubts to a new aspect.

"Yes, my people are much better than the goblins if they need labor. Garn?Firehammer said as he flexed his arm vigorously, showing off his well-developed biceps muscles in his upper arm. "Neither in strength nor in their minds, those vile goblins can't match us. ”

"Quite simply, there is only one reason. Xu Yi held out a finger. "That's just enough goblins. Garn, of course your people are very good, but let me ask you, even if all the dwarves in the entire Demon Cloud Continent are gathered, how many will there be?"

The proud look on Garn's Firehammer face immediately turned unnatural.

As a dwarf, he was not good at lying, and he was not good at telling lies in front of so many people.

After hesitating for a while, he replied rather dejectedly, "Probably...... Probably more than 500,000......"

"Five hundred thousand?" Xu Yi turned to Varus again. "Varus, how many of your elves do you have combined?"

Varus smiled bitterly, "President Xu, I understand what you mean. If we talk about the population alone, we are probably not even a tenth of the goblins combined. But the goblins are not very strong, or even very weak, and using them as labor is probably not so easy to use, right?"

"I didn't expect them to be very useful. Xu Yi shook his head. "You all know exactly what many of the factories under our Chamber of Commerce do, and you should also know that many of them don't require a high IQ at all. Even the physical requirements are not very high. These tasks are just simple, boring and repetitive tasks. But it couldn't be simpler. Someone still needs to do it. Without these goblins, how much industry do you think you can support with just a few of your races?"

Several representatives of the indigenous race looked at each other with expressions full of helplessness.

In the previous Demon Cloud Continent, all other races except the dragon clan could only barely survive under the high pressure of goblins, and who had the ability to feed more people.

The races present now can be regarded as the races with the largest population on the Demon Cloud Continent, but they are the most human beings. I'm afraid that so far the total is only about a million at most, which is still too much worse than the vast number of goblins.

"Come to think of it, I estimate that more than 100,000 workers will be needed just for the farmland magic machinery production base that is being planned. Of these 100,000 workers, more than 80,000 are engaged in the simplest and most basic jobs. ”

"In the past few years, the output of such a production base was only about 5,000 farmland magic machines a year. However, according to the current calculations of our Chamber of Commerce, if we want to carry out preliminary reclamation of cultivated land on the Demon Cloud Continent, we need at least more than 200,000 units of various farmland magic machines. That is, more such production bases are needed. ”

"So, how many workers do you think I'll need to meet the demand, let alone the magic machinery in the fields. We also need a large number of other types of magic machinery to improve the environment on the Demon Cloud Continent. At the same time, it also requires a large number of manpower to invest in transportation, communications, medical care, management and other areas of people's livelihood. ”

"All things considered, the population of your races combined. It's not enough. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yi sighed and shook his head slightly.

"I certainly don't want to leave the goblins behind if possible, because that could be a hidden danger. But now I need this population, and you races with high IQs and easier access to new skills and knowledge need to be used in more important places. See what I mean?"

Hearing Xu Yi's last words, the eyes of the representatives of these indigenous races suddenly lit up.

In fact, they had been worried for a long time, it was nothing more than that if Xu Yi activated a large number of goblin clans, it might threaten their future development on the Demon Cloud Continent.

But from what Xu Yi said just now, it can be known that Xu Yi did not plan to attach much importance to the goblin clan, but still valued their races more seriously.

"Elder Hsu is right. I've been to the Sainz Continent before, and I know very well how big the gap is between our Demon Cloud Continent and the Sainz Continent. And to close this gap, it will require a large number of people to develop. It was still Mens who was the first to speak.

"That's right, just let the goblins do the simplest jobs, our dwarves in the Sainz continent, but all of them are skilled craftsmen with superb skills, how can we be so much worse than them. "Garn?

Varus didn't speak, but he nodded his head and made his opinion.

Seeing that everyone had unified their thoughts, Xu Yi smiled slightly.

He wasn't worried that someone would really oppose him, after all, the power that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now held was in an absolute position on the Demon Cloud Continent, and other races had no ability to resist.

But since you want to use the power of these indigenous races, it is better to be able to unify their ideas.

After all, if you want to develop the Demon Cloud Continent well, you can't do without the assistance of these indigenous races.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi had a strange feeling in his heart.

The situation in the Demon Cloud Continent reminded him of the history of America on Earth.

After the discovery of the New World, a group of Europeans poured into North America, but they massacred the local indigenous Indians, and then after taking control of the entire North American continent, they took a large number of black slaves from the African continent to work as coolies, thus laying a solid foundation for the United States.

Compared to the Demon Cloud Continent, the corresponding to the Indians should be the indigenous races who are currently standing beside him.

It's just that Xu Yi didn't have the idea of slaughtering them cleanly, because even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was able to do this at the moment, it would not be able to properly develop the Demon Cloud Continent due to its own lack of manpower.

And the counterpart of the black slaves should be the goblins.

They are also not highly civilized, but they have basic working abilities, and the goblins are very suitable for doing the simplest and most basic work like the black people.

Moreover, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can indeed treat goblins the same way that the ancestors of the United States treated black slaves, and Xu Ye has no guilt about this.

After witnessing a group of goblins slaughter a human village and cook all of them in a pot, he didn't treat them as their sapient equivalents.

After a few more discussions with the surrounding indigenous representatives, Hart returned.

"Elder, we have surrounded the Goblin King City, and we promise not to let any goblins escape. Hart paused, then added. "Just now, a group of goblins rushed out to attack, and I ordered them all to be killed. ”

"I don't think this group of goblins wants to attack, but they want to run for their lives, right?" Xu Yi glanced at Hart.

Hart immediately lowered his head: "Elder Mingjian." ”

Xu Yi waved his hand, didn't delve into it, turned around and explained to the representatives of the other indigenous races: "You are here to cooperate with Hart to seal the royal city, and I will go in to meet the so-called goblin king." ”

Hart and the others were startled at the same time.

"President Xu, are you going to go alone?"

"President Xu, don't take any chances!"

"Lord Xu, how can you risk your life with such a valuable body? Just let us break through this royal city and capture that goblin king in front of you, and you can interrogate it as you like?"

"No, the goblins have been scared by us, and they have long lost the courage to resist, and I will not be in any danger. Besides......" Xu Yi showed a confident smile. "Have you forgotten who I am?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then remembered Xu Yi's other important identity in addition to the previous president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce - the most powerful magician in the Sainz Continent!

Xu Yi didn't pay attention to everyone's reactions, patted Hart's shoulder, dropped the sentence "Be careful", and the figure suddenly disappeared in place.

The next moment, Xu Yi had already appeared inside the Goblin King City.

This so-called Goblin King City is actually just a larger goblin stronghold.

There were no regular buildings, no ornate decorations, and the surrounding goblins were scattered around, sitting or lying, and there was no order at all.

If you twitch your nose casually, you can smell all kinds of unpleasant smells coming in, and you will want to vomit.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yi couldn't help but shake his head.

Although the IQ of the goblins has always been low, it is really amazing that a huge race that can be said to have ruled the Demon Cloud Continent for thousands of years has not been able to develop a decent civilization after such a long time.

Of course, if the goblins were really able to develop a certain level of civilization, it would be impossible for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to open up the situation on the Demon Cloud Continent so easily.

Seeing Xu Yi suddenly appear, the surrounding goblins were stunned for a moment, and then they all let out an ugly cry and pounced.

Xu Yi didn't bother to entangle with these goblins, and with a move of the magic power in his body, he placed a magic shield around his body, blocking all the goblins who rushed over, and then slowly flew into the air, launching a sound amplification magic.

"Goblin King, come out, I am the leader of the army outside, Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I ask to meet with you and talk to you in person. I know you understand, and you should know that you don't have a choice. ”

Xu Yi used the lingua franca of the Demon Cloud Continent, which was actually a language that evolved on the basis of the incomplete language of the goblin race.

The voice dispersed, and Xu Yi waited patiently for about ten minutes, and after a column of goblins with a body shape that was obviously different from the others, and even wore a whole set of costumes made of unknown materials, came from the front right.

Where they passed, the other goblins hurriedly avoided a path and let them walk unhindered.

Xu Yi's gaze fell on the middle of this special goblin team.

There, four strong goblins carried what resembled a palanquin, and on top of it sat a somewhat thin goblin who was clearly different from other goblins in appearance and temperament.

"You're the Goblin King?" Xu Yi asked, staring at him. (To be continued.) )
