Next, the report was made by Norman, the elf official in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture. In the past year, the elves have been engaged in the work of increasing agricultural output value.
For the Elanshir Empire, this aspect of work is an important task in maintaining the stability of the empire, and it is no less important than frontline wars.
The elves have lived up to expectations and helped the Ilanthil Empire increase food production for three consecutive years. It was only recently that there was a little problem.
Norman Master briefly introduced the data, and then said to Des: "Judging from the current production, our total grain production is likely to drop by 7% in the new year. This number has already
It is very large, so it is necessary to revise the production volume again.”
Increasing food production is actually not a good thing, just like reducing food production does not necessarily mean disaster.
Today's Ireland Empire has an exaggerated cultivated land area. On the other hand, the population that needs to be raised is relatively small.
With a population of less than 10 billion, scattered over hundreds of thousands of earths, it is obviously already a vast and sparsely populated state.
In this state, high grain production is basically meaningless. The grain reserves are enough for the entire empire to consume for more than ten years, and this number is still increasing.
At the same time, the scale of grain-consuming industries such as winemaking can no longer continue to expand, because the population base is there, and there is no way to consume the production capacity of wine and other grain products.
The resulting collapse in food prices has lasted for two years in the Elanshir Empire. If it were not for the imperial agricultural subsidies, farmers who grow food might have gone bankrupt long ago.
"There are many reasons for the reduction in production, including the serious drop in food prices and the industrialization of the two food-producing planets." Norman continued to use cold numbers to describe the development trajectory of a modern empire.
A planet that can grow food will definitely have a population. Where the population grows, industrialization will naturally begin. This is simply a certain thing.
Pure grain is not valuable, so it needs to be processed to obtain higher returns. Even if local farmers do not think about these things, local governors will think about such issues.
They must try their best to make the areas under their jurisdiction rich and powerful, so that their governance record can have a good score.
As a result, several early immigrant planets with a population of more than one million have all begun in-depth industrialization. After the introduction of robots, they began to rush towards super manufacturing factories.
Seven planets are building star rings, and some regions are even considering plans to build Dyson spheres. The two fastest are submitting applications, hoping to give priority to building Dyson spheres in their regions to provide more powerful energy and support.
Regional economic development.
Perhaps no one could have imagined that the speed of industrial development could be so fast. With the support of epoch-making computer technology and technology trees, the industry of the Airanhill Empire is surpassing China in all aspects when it built the Fengling 004 spacecraft.
Norman continued to emphasize the reasons for the sluggish agricultural data: "The most important thing is that our colonization plan has not achieved the expected goals. Population restrictions have prevented us from completing the one-year short-term plan we made last year."
"Of course, war is also one aspect... When we made the one-year short-term plan, we did not expect that a war would break out with other forces in the new year." After he finished speaking, he also looked at Des.
Des still nodded, and then began to characterize the incident: "The reduction in agricultural output is not a fatal problem."
He glanced at Norman and said comfortingly: "When the war is over, the empire may immediately gain more than 3 million additional people that can be used immediately."
"According to the information provided by the Nine Nether Sect, the total population under the rule of the Heavenly Sword Sect ranges from a few billion to tens of billions... These are all human beings, and they only need a little training before they can be used immediately," Desel said.
When he said this, he was like a slave trader.
"Of course, we are still making further assessments, but for now, fighting this war is still profitable." He continued: "After gaining more people, the price of food will be slightly stable for a period of time. In addition,
…With such a huge market, the empire can also get new markets.”
"Because the war started the robot production line, our development speed in other areas has been reduced by at least five percent, but it is still within a controllable range." Denowski added.
"There is also good news. Our population is further increasing, and our control of the planet in the core area is also increasing." Deans also added.
For Des, this was good news, and it also made the atmosphere of the meeting slightly better.
"In short, the past year has been a smooth one. Everything in the empire has developed smoothly, and this is all your credit." He said with a smile.
…
At the same time, far away on Planet Hope 2, the area controlled by the Tianjian Shenzong was becoming increasingly compressed. The third elder of the Shenzong brought his direct descendants to somewhere on the front line.
The recent news obtained by the Heavenly Sword Shenzong has made this frontline commander worried. The entire war situation has become increasingly unfavorable, and the Shenzong's doubts have reached an unprecedented level.
Originally, Shenzong was already preparing to cut off this Cambridge and prepare to retreat from Planet Hope 2 - but another piece of news that annoyed them was reported to the third, fourth and fifth elders.
This news is more dangerous than other news, and has even made them feel a fatal threat.
"You mean... you saw with your own eyes that people from the Jiuyou Sect... appeared near here?" The third elder's face was as cold as ice and he asked a swordsman with a bandage on his head.
The swordsman bowed slightly and quickly replied: "Report it to the master, the elder, the disciple saw it with his own eyes, wearing black clothes and black robes, commanding a black sword... He is a traitor of the Jiuyou Sect and cannot be wrong!"
"This is going to be difficult... They also have the Cambridge Method... Even if our side retreats, the traitors of the Jiuyou Sect will not be able to join forces with these outsiders and kill the sect." The person beside the third elder said
A staff member lowered his voice and said.
"Don't I understand the truth?" The third elder snorted coldly, and then ordered the lecturer who was waiting respectfully: "Reward this disciple who brought back the news..."
After saying that, he led a group of masters out, and not far away, the rumbling sound of artillery could be heard one after another, and the attack of the Eilanhill Empire began again.
