Chapter 825: Lack of people

In the past year, the Ailanhill Empire has built 2000 kilometers of subways. These subways are distributed in the prosperous areas of Ailanhill, including Serris, Maine, Fallen Dragon City and so on.

Over the past two years, Ailan Hill has refurbished more than 20,000 kilometers of sewers. The sewer system in Serris is as complex as a giant spider web.

This is not a joke, this is a great project in the true sense. Through the construction of these underground projects, Ailan Hill laid a lot of cables and built a huge Internet infrastructure project.

With the support of this project, the Allanhill Empire quickly established a wired network, and with the wifi network, the Internet construction was basically completed.

Of course, this is only the tip of the iceberg of Ailan Hill's informatization construction. In fact, judging from the size of the entire empire, these already terrifying cable laying projects are actually far from enough.

Due to the shortage of funds and the shortage of manpower, many second- and third-tier cities can only repair and repair the original infrastructure, and can only meet the barely usable minimum standards.

Take, for example, the city in front of us. Its pipelines were buried hastily when the wires were laid before, but they are actually outdated.

This kind of cement pipeline is too thin, and various problems will occur when threading, so you can only find children to crawl and thread along the pipeline.

Similar jobs exist in many second-tier cities. After all, these cities do not have the spacious underground pipeline system that can run cars.

As a result, many such places can only allow thin children to perform similar stringing tasks, and a little bit of expansion of the network cable coverage area.

This is actually good, because second-tier cities have at least dedicated underground pipelines that were previously buried. In many fringe cities, most of them are still using the old sewer system.

In these post-occupied cities, most of the power lines and pipelines have not been laid, and many places can only use outdated facilities such as telephone poles. This is why the decent contractor just now regrets that the South cannot use child labor to thread.

This is because many cities in the south do not even have universal power supply, and high-end products such as telephone lines and network cables are not even available.

Like the army, the development of Ailan Hill is also deformed and traversing. In the military, World War II and future weapons coexist, and the civil administration system also coexists advanced and backward.

The most advanced Ailan Shiresi star ring has spanned the entire sky, and the most backward Ailan Hill Empire occupied the area even without electricity.

An ordinary family in Seris has even used a high-end computer with a Core chip, Verenza's school may still be using Pentium series computers, and Kasik District may even be a rarity with radio...

It is also farming. Perhaps some areas have been fully mechanized, with planes spraying pesticides and tractors automatically harvesting; in some places, it can only rely on human farming, and the efficiency gap can even reach 100 times.

The same is true for economic development. In some places, the average monthly income can even reach 200 gold coins, and in some places, the monthly income may only be 5 gold coins.

The territory of the empire is getting bigger and bigger, and it has reached a point where the speed of development cannot keep up. Large amounts of land, or many border areas, have been occupied for several months, and the state is still the same as when the war ended.

The people in the fringe areas just waited for peace, but did not wait for the leap-forward development of Ailan Hill.

Although Chris and his Minister of Economy, Industry, and Finance desperately spent money, the infrastructure in these areas could not be improved immediately.

After all, a large number of core areas are still developing desperately, and the shortage of personnel has not been fundamentally improved since the establishment of the Ailan Hill Empire until now.

At the end of the 6th year of Ailan Hill, the relevant minister submitted to Chris the total number of construction personnel required by Ailan Hill for 7 years.

It was predicted that in 7 years, Ailan Hill had to train 10 million new construction workers, which was barely enough.

In 7 years of lovely Lanhill, Chris annexed the new puppet empire, which was attached to the elves, and laid a vast territory in the demon world. The area of ​​the territory has expanded by two-thirds, but the construction workers trained at the same time barely reached 4 million people...

In other words, Ailan Hill actually needs 20 million new construction talents, and as a result, a huge gap of 4 million is added, which directly leads to the slow construction of the occupied area.

This is no longer a problem that can be solved with money and technology. This is directly the bottleneck of the talent gap. If the population cannot be swollen immediately, the development of the Ailan Hill Empire can only slow down.

To this end, the Allanhill Empire has thought of many methods, such as creating a large number of magic **** of knowledge, training technical talents, and building various schools.

Even the Ailan Hill Empire also hired a large number of orcs to do physical work. Many mines and quarries can now see orcs.

It is precisely because of this that so many merchants want to stop the empire from killing demons. In their view, killing demons is worse than enslaving demons and allowing those **** demons to engage in high-risk work such as mining, which is more in line with the interests of the Airanhill Empire.

...

Sitting in his seat, Chris closed the second melody from Wagron. In this memorial, Wagron requested for the second time to keep some demons as slaves and continue to work for the Airanhill Empire.

Although in the magic world, these demons may be hidden dangers, but in the magic world, these demons can well supplement the shortage of personnel in the Ailan Hill Empire.

After all, there are countless mineral deposits here, including some radiated ores. If these minerals were mined by regular miners in Ailan Hill, it would be too expensive.

But if the demon slave were to mine, it would be almost costless. As long as these demons are provided with food, they must work for survival.

In Wagron's view, this is also the meaning of this expeditionary battle to build a colony for the empire, feed back the Alanhill Empire, and make the local economy develop faster.

"You hesitated." Elf Grand Duke Andrea saw Chris' entanglement and said, "I know you have read three books of similar melodies in the past few days."

Chris put Wagron's melodies aside, sighed and said, "The children born in the year when Allan Hill founded the country have just started elementary school... I need at least 3 billion people to fill my empire. , But I only have more than 700 million..."

As he said, he pointed to the memorials that suggested leaving some demons: "They want me to leave 300 million or even 500 million demons to use first, what do you think?"
