Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid

Above the Hope Port, busy dock workers are carrying goods down.

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

However, compared to the excitement of the residents, Li De seemed very calm. Because after unloading the goods brought back from Kezan, the goods that Hanhai Duhu can sell to Kezan are pitiful:

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

In the end, it took a lot of energy to fill three ships, which made the merchant ship supervisor of Hotsand very dissatisfied, because two ships were running completely empty.

This is not a good sign. If Hanhai Protector does not have enough commodities to satisfy the trade, it will eventually lead to the dumping of Kezan to Hanhai Protector.

That is to say, Kezan can earn the gold of the Vast Sea Protector through a shipment of goods, but the Vast Sea Protector has no goods to earn gold from Kezan.

If things go on like this, it will inevitably lead to the loss of a large amount of gold in Tanaris! If this goes on, even if Tanaris has more gold reserves, there will always be a day when it will be hollowed out.

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

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

Considering the actual situation of Tanaris Desert, the most abundant resources here are ore and oil and gas resources. Relying on the export of raw materials is one direction, but it will fall into a resource trap again.

To this end, Li De convened all the management personnel, and after several days of research, he planned a route for Hanhai Duhu: to develop the manufacturing industry.

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

This is all because goblins are more keen to devote themselves to business and finance than engineering, but engineering technology is difficult to scale, and many technologies are managed and inherited by small family workshops.

For example, Gallywix, he is good at making explosions, and the technology is inherited from his third-rate inventor father. Engineering technology is a money-burning business, and for this reason many goblins who are obsessed with invention are deeply in debt. In fact, the first time Gallywix created an explosion, he helped his father blow up a few high-yield creditors to collect debts.

Under such circumstances, if Hanhai Duo relies on manufacturing to connect with Kezan, spends a lot of money to buy Goblin's patents, and then relies on Tanaris' rich 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 investigate what kind of engineering products the market needs, and even if you buy a patent, you must buy a reliable patent. Otherwise, in the end, a lot of effort is spent to create a pile of waste products, that is, money is wasted! It’s still the kind that fights into the endless sea and can’t be retrieved after salvaging!

And besides this, there is another obvious problem in front of Hu Hai Duhu: population.

Under the protection of the Great Ocean, the current population is 1,000 humans, 1,000 goblins, and a little over 7,000 trolls, with a total population of less than 10,000.

Among them, the human race is mainly small shopkeepers and craftsmen. Apart from more than 200 old people and children, nearly half of the young and middle-aged people work in plantations, fish farms, farms and various workshops.

The goblins are mainly skilled workers and shopkeepers. There are not many old people and children, only more than 100 people, but more than one third of the young people work in the city's water supply system.

Trolls have the largest population, but also the most elderly and children, with more than 1,000 people. One-fifth of the remaining young and strong work in the farm, and the remaining one-fifth also works in the water supply system (ancestors). El Farak is also planning the city's water supply recently).

That is to say, the Hanhai Protectorate is currently in a state of being stretched thin, and still has to maintain a standing army of about 1,000 people! Not to mention the formation of a navy after having a fleet!

Even taking into account that food will be imported in the future, the food production industry can release some labor, but the best estimate is only more than 1,000 people.

Some people may be curious, as the troll with the largest population, in addition to the elderly and children, the army, and those with jobs, there are at least 2,000 young men and women. Why is there a shortage of labor?

This is the most troublesome problem for Li De. These 2,000 young people are all doing nothing to study the classics!

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 the Protector of the Seas, but the light of civilization also has its own problems, that is, it is too unlike a religion.

Compared with religion, it is more like a theory, a kind of thought, and it does not have its own pantheon. Outside of the "road" at the highest point, there is no **** to worship.

Many old trolls have very heavy traditional concepts, and it is difficult for old brains to immediately accept the "dao" of abstract concepts. In contrast, many young trolls are willing to believe in the light of civilization, which makes the trolls appear within some family conflicts.

More seriously, many young trolls are happy to fill the light of civilization with embodied "gods". This has led to a large number of young people doing nothing to study the classics in order to solve the problem of the light of civilization manifesting God!

Managers all understand that there is not so much time for them to engage in "truth discussions" at the moment. They must invite a **** to let the old people know that the light of civilization has a figurative god, and at the same time tell the young people not to waste time here. Quickly participate in labor production.

This figurative god, the best choice is for Nozdormu to come again.

But since the last time he gave Li De's blessing, Nozdormu has not heard from him. It's not that there are no daring guys trying to explore the cave of time.

But those who dare to enter the cave of time, although there is no danger to their lives, will be trapped in a "ghost animal" for a long time: at the entrance of the cave of time, they will see their future self come out, or when they come out, they will see their past self.

And even if it solves the problem of a large number of young trolls not working, UU reading www.uukanshu. The population of the other two races must also increase.

Because once a large number of single races are bound to one occupation and one class, it will leave a huge hidden danger to the Protector: This means that the society is likely to be divided.

Don't you see, even within a race, the night elves in history were separated from the upper elves because of the study of arcane magic and led to the invasion of the Burning Legion?

Therefore, in order to solve the problem, we must take a two-pronged approach, while properly dealing with the religious beliefs of trolls, while increasing the population of humans and goblins.

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

On the Terran side, families without children recently gave birth to some newborns. At the same time, more than 300 single men and women also formed dozens of new families. Before leaving for Kezan, Li De also held a group wedding for them.

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

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

It is not too difficult for the goblins to solve the immigration issue. Because the nearest is Kezan Island, there are many rich goblins, but there are also many poor folk inventors.

If it can absorb their immigrants, if there are really good great inventors in it, won't they make money, and maybe they can 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 zero foundation. ?

In contrast, the human race immigration plan is much more troublesome. If you want to absorb the refugees from the Eastern Kingdom mainland, you must not only have mature sailing, but also get those princes and nobles.

Fortunately, Li De already had a plan in mind, but to realize this, he had to wait for the Navy to complete the training.

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