The food problem was serious, so the top management decided to counterattack, but at this time the red meteor rose, making the situation very chaotic. In addition, Dulan set up a bodyguard bureau, which made the businessmen complain. The military police regiment had no evidence to arrest Dulan, so the wall was temporarily closed
The situation is a mess.
These days, even children have to do odd jobs to survive, leaving adults without so many jobs.
Because of backwardness, when facing the problems of land and population, we can only learn from Thanos to eliminate the population. Thanos eliminates the population and increases the per capita resource ownership because he has a zero-cost way of killing and can solve the problem with just a snap of his fingers. This
The world also has a zero-cost way to eliminate the population, which is to prevent people from attacking giants. Giants will not waste resources by killing people.
If ordinary civilization wants to rely on killing people to increase per capita resources, it is a big mistake, because war will also consume resources. Even if half of the population is killed in the end, per capita resources will still not increase. If you want to eliminate the population and increase per capita resources, you must first establish
In terms of an efficient and low-cost killing method, the lower the cost of killing, the more tenable this theory will be.
Obviously in the world of giants, this theory is tenable, because giants kill for free, don’t eat, and don’t complain about hard work. Giants are hard-working population elimination machines, ruthless and efficient, which perfectly meets the needs of Eldia’s top brass.
.
So the top management organized a population counterattack to solve the food pressure. And many people supported it because the people from Wall Maria were really annoying and made people want to kill them all.
This is so disgusted by compatriots in a country. If it were a foreign refugee, they would have been organized and put into concentration camps for destruction.
The people of Maria Wall have become a different kind of people, and have become people who cause trouble to others.
Under such circumstances, even though he knew that the battle to retake Wall Maria would involve death, he had no choice but to rush forward, because if he didn't die, he would be regarded as a burden.
However, Dulan provides jobs by harvesting wool. One escort position can support a family, so Dulan's escort agency can support a group of people. And because of Red Meteor, Duran quickly monopolized the escort industry, so
Feeding more and more people.
Moreover, the industry of bodyguards was not so prosperous before. After all, the domestic security was still good in the past. Although bandits occasionally appeared, several main roads were protected by military police and garrison regiments, so there was little need for bodyguards. Therefore,
The emergence of escorts is considered an innovation, rather than taking someone else's job.
Although merchants are being squeezed by both Red Meteor and Escort, and want to increase the pressure on commodity price transfer, if they dare to do so, Red Meteor will bankrupt them. If they don't want to do it anymore, Duran will just take over.
Of course it’s not just businessmen, nobles are also treated as piggy banks by Red Meteor, and are also taken care of.
At this time, the benefits of private ownership are revealed. In order to make more money and buy more land, small farmers will be willing to sell more grain and materials at high prices, leaving only the minimum rations needed to maintain their own production. So Red Meteor steals
The money you come in can be exchanged for supplies.
When the materials were being transported, Dulan established a transportation team to reduce costs, so in the end the materials were delivered to the refugees and they could afford them.
So a refugee ecosystem managed by Red Meteor who robbed the rich and gave to the poor, and Dulan who operated at a low cost, barely managed to survive. In this system, everyone had no hope of getting rich and could only live with food and clothing.
Many refugees who had no time to pack up their belongings to escape survived in this system. In fact, they were mainly Shiganshina refugees, because the other three urn cities learned about the giant in advance and could pack some belongings. However, it took a month.
It's almost done, they have to face various survival pressures, and they will soon join Duran's low-cost system.
"Although the system is running now, the output of the land is fixed. Even if everyone tightens their belts, it is not an option if it continues like this." Mikasa looked at Duran, waiting for her father to come up with some black technology to solve the food problem.
The problem.
“Then we can only open up wasteland.” Li San knew that there was still a lot of land that had not been opened up. Even if the outer land was missing, there was still a lot of land inside.
There are still five years left until the plot, so there is still time.
“But there is no industry in Eldia at all. The cost of opening up wasteland is too high. And the fertility of this land is also very average.” Mikasa said, following Duran through time and learning the agricultural knowledge of farming.
Eldia does not have an industry. Although they have built blast furnaces and can build some precision instruments, their limited resources can only build small and compact machines, the largest of which is cannons. They cannot build aircraft, tanks, or tractors at all.
, don’t have the ability, and don’t have so many resources.
Eldia's industry is a small-scale peasant economy. There are no factories. All parts are made by craftsmen and their disciples. It has never changed since the first blast furnace was built fifty years ago. Because there is no need for change, so
Eldia does not have the kind of complete industrial system with clear division of labor that Mikasa identifies with.
This technology makes it impossible to invest any agricultural machinery in agriculture and can only rely on manpower.
But the most indispensable thing now is manpower, and many farmers have money and are trying to expand production. It is still feasible for refugees to go to the farms to work as laborers to open up wasteland.
Although the refugees may not necessarily be able to endure hardship, they must do something in order to survive. For those who have lost their homes, being able to work as a laborer and have a full meal is already a great blessing.
Of course, not everyone is willing to accept falling from petty bourgeoisie to abject poverty, so some people are still willing to participate in the high-level crusade plan. Because if they are lucky, the crusade is successful, and their homeland is conquered, then everything they have lost will be back.
Duran doesn't care about these people who are taking chances. Everyone has their own choice. But Mikasa hopes that Duran can do something. After all, as long as Duran comes up with a black technology, it will be enough to feed everyone.
There is no need to fight the giant and die in vain.
"I know you are worried about their death, so just find a way to stop them before they set off." Duran said: "Just ask them when they returned to Xiganshina, what method did they use to plug the gap? They should
You know how big the gap is. If you can't block the hole, it's useless to go back."
At present, they have no way to plug such a large gap in a short time. Even if they use local materials and construction waste to block the opening, they lack enough cement as a binding agent, so it is difficult to say that they can block the giant.
“You can try, but what if they insist on an expedition?” Mikasa was worried that she would not be able to persuade everyone.
"Then we will design a mobile city wall plan to protect the expedition team a little bit." Duran said: "The current city walls are all fixed dead walls. If we can create a mobile movable city wall, then we can go out of the city gate to conquer it.
Build as many walls as you lose the land, and by encroaching on it little by little, you will eventually be able to regain the lost land."
Mikasa said it can be done? What materials should it be made of?
