Chapter 29 The Development Route of Hanhai Protectorate

Above Hope Harbor, busy dock workers are carrying goods down.

Li De went to sea for a month and brought back a fleet and several ships of cargo, which made the guardians of Hanhai feel extremely excited.

However, compared to the excitement of the residents, Li De seemed very calm. After unloading the goods brought back from Kezan, the goods that Hanhai Protector was able to sell to Kezan were pitiful:

It is nothing more than highly processed coconut, dried turtle meat, lizard meat, crystal scale lizard skin products, and some gems obtained from the Zerg.

In the end, after a lot of effort, we were able to barely fill three ships, which made the merchant ship supervisor of Rongsha very dissatisfied because two ships were completely empty.

This is not a good sign. If the Hanhai Protector does not have enough goods to satisfy trade, it will eventually cause Kezan to dump the Hanhai Protector.

In other words, Kezan can earn gold from the Protector of the Hanhai Sea by carrying goods one by one, but the Protector of the Hanhai Sea does not have the goods to earn back the gold from Kezan.

If things go on like this, Tanaris will inevitably lose a lot of gold! If this continues, no matter how much gold reserves there are in Tanaris, they will one day be emptied out.

Therefore, we must find a way to reverse the trade deficit of Hanhai Protector!

It is definitely unrealistic to develop agricultural trade. In the future, Hanhai Duhu will have to rely on imports for its own food for a long time.

Judging from the actual situation of the Tanaris Desert, the most abundant resources here are ores and oil and gas resources. Exporting raw materials is one way to go, but this will fall into a resource trap.

To this end, Li De summoned all the managers, and after several days of research, he planned a route for the Hanhai Protector: to develop manufacturing.

Manufacturing is the optimal solution to integrate trade with Kezan. The main race of Kezan is goblins. Goblins have advanced engineering technology, but it is difficult for goblins to scale up their advanced technology.

This is all because goblins are more interested in engaging in business and finance than engineering, but engineering technology is difficult to achieve scale. Many technologies are managed and passed down in the form of small family workshops.

For example, Gallywix, who is good at making explosions, inherited his technology from his third-rate inventor father. Engineering technology is a costly business, so many goblins who are obsessed with inventions are deeply in debt. In fact, Gallywix

The first time Si created an explosion was to help his father blow up several loan sharks who came to collect debts.

Under such circumstances, if the Hanhai Protectorate relies on the manufacturing industry to connect with Kezan, spends a lot of money to purchase goblin patents, and then relies on Tanaris' abundant raw materials to produce a large number of engineering products, it will naturally be able to reverse the relationship with Kezan.

trade deficit!

Of course, developing manufacturing is not an easy task.

The first thing is to examine what kind of engineering products the market needs, and even if you buy a patent, you must also buy a reliable patent. Otherwise, in the end, you will waste a lot of effort and produce a bunch of waste products, and you will be wasting your money! You will still go to endless

The kind that you can hunt into the sea and never get back after fishing!

And in addition to this, there is another obvious problem facing the Hanhai Protector: population.

Under the rule of the Hanhai Protectorate, the current population is 1,000 humans, 1,000 goblins, and a little over 7,000 trolls. The total population is less than 10,000.

Among them, the human race is dominated by small shopkeepers and craftsmen. In addition to more than 200 elderly people and children, nearly half of the young adults work in plantations, fisheries, breeding farms and various workshops.

Goblins are mainly skilled workers and shopkeepers. There are not many old people and children. There are only more than 100 people, but more than one-third are young and strong, working in the city's water supply system.

Trolls have the largest population, but they also have the largest number of old people and children, more than 1,000 people. One-fifth of the remaining young people work in the breeding farms, and the remaining one-fifth also work in the water supply system (ancestor)

El Farak has also recently been planning urban water supply issues).

In other words, the Hanhai Protectorate is currently in a state of limited manpower, and it still needs to maintain a land standing army of about 1,000 people! Not to mention that after having a fleet, it also needs to form a navy!

Even considering that food production will be dependent on imports in the future, the food production industry can release some labor force, but the best estimate is only more than 1,000 people.

Some people may be curious. As the most populous troll, apart from the elderly, children, troops and those with jobs, there are at least 2,000 young people. How come there is a shortage of labor?

This is Li De's biggest headache. These 2,000 young men are all studying Confucian classics with nothing to do!

The importance of religious sacrifices to trolls is self-evident. In order to calm people's hearts, Li De built Stonehenge and inspired Nozdormu to establish the "Light of Civilization".

The Light of Civilization has played a huge role in the development of Hanhai Protector, but the Light of Civilization also has its own problems, that is, it is too unlike a religion.

It is more like a doctrine and an idea than a religion, and does not have its own god system. Beyond the highest "road", there are no gods to worship.

Many old trolls have strong traditional concepts, and it is difficult for their old minds to immediately accept the "big road" of abstract concepts. In contrast, many young trolls are willing to believe in the light of civilization, which makes it difficult for them to immediately accept the "big road" of abstract concepts.

There were some family conflicts.

What's more serious is that many young trolls are very happy to enrich the light of civilization with concrete "gods". This leads to a large number of young people studying the classics with nothing to do in order to solve the problem of the light of civilization turning into gods!

The managers all understand that there is not so much time for them to hold a "truth discussion" at the moment. They must invite a god to come over and let the old people know that there is a concrete god in the light of civilization. At the same time, they also tell the young people not to waste time here.

Quickly participate in labor production.

For this concrete god, the best choice is for Nozdormu to come again.

But since the last blessing given to Li De, there has been no news from Nozdormu. There are not some brave people among them who try to explore the Cave of Time.

But anyone who dares to enter the Cave of Time will not be in danger of life, but will be trapped in a "ghost beast" for a long time: at the entrance of the Cave of Time, he will see his future self coming out, or he will see his past self when he comes out.

And even if the problem of a large number of young trolls doing no work is solved, the population of the other two races must also increase.

Because once a large number of a single race is bound to a profession or a class, it will leave huge hidden dangers for the governor: this means that the society is likely to be fragmented.

Didn’t you see that even within the same race, the Night Elves in history were separated from the Highborne because of their study of arcane arts and led to the invasion of the Burning Legion?

Therefore, in order to solve the problem, we must adopt a two-pronged approach, properly handle the trolls' religious beliefs, and at the same time increase the population of humans and goblins.

If you want to increase the population, relying on natural reproduction is definitely not enough.

Recently, some newborns have been born to childless families on the human side. At the same time, more than 300 single men and women have formed dozens of new families. Before setting off for Kezan, Li De also held a group wedding for them.

But this is only a drop in the bucket, and the situation on the goblin side is not optimistic either.

So we must find a way to immigrate in large numbers in the near future!

It is not difficult for the goblins to solve the immigration problem. Because the nearest island is Kezan Island. There are many rich people in the goblins, but there are also many poor private inventors.

If we can absorb them to immigrate, if there are really outstanding inventors, we will make a lot of money, and we may save a lot of patent fees. Even if it is just a bad civil science, it is easier to become a skilled worker after education and training than with zero foundation.

?

In contrast, the human immigration plan is much more troublesome. If you want to absorb the refugees from the Eastern Kingdom, you must not only have mature navigation, but also deal with the princes and nobles.

Fortunately, Li De already had a plan in mind, but if he wanted to realize it, he had to wait for the navy to complete the training.

So before that, Li De decided to deal with the issue of the trolls' beliefs first.
