Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 757
“That’s hundreds of thousands of people!” Tiera said in an extremely seductive tone. “Power is based on population!”

“The extent of power also comes from the population.” Tiera smiled as she looked at the wizard officials behind her. “The quantity and quality of the population are crucial to the acquisition and maintenance of power.”

“Population is a fundamental component of a country or community, and its size determines the influence of a polity and its power to allocate resources. A large population means more labor, knowledge, and creativity, which provides a country with more development opportunities and potential. At the same time, population is also an important source of political support; political leaders need the support of the population to effectively implement policies and exercise power,” Tierra said. “Besides quantity, the quality of the population is also very important. Education levels, skills, and talent reserves are crucial for the exercise of power and economic development. A highly qualified population can drive economic innovation and growth, and provide more opportunities and resources, thereby further enhancing the country's power position.”

"Therefore, the quantity and quality of the population are important factors in determining the power and influence of a country or region. Political leaders and political systems need to pay attention to and value population issues, and promote population development and prosperity through reasonable policies and measures, thereby enhancing their own power and competitiveness," Tierra concluded.

"This is the content of 'A Theory of Population,' written by Muggle political scientist Thomas Robert Malthus." Seeing the bewildered look on the faces of the officials from the Magic Federation behind him, Tiera continued with a smile, "If I remember correctly, this book has been added to my list of 100 essential reading books for Magic Federation officials."

“Read more books, my comrades,” Tierra said in a dogmatic tone. “Then you will discover that the world is far bigger than you have seen.”

“So look here, my comrades, look here,” Tierra said, standing at the end of New Tenam village, pointing to the entire village. “What is this?”

“This is where your power begins,” Tiera said with a smile. “I will hand this place over to you to manage, and the amount of power you gain will depend on the size of the village’s population.”

"How much resources you can acquire for your family also depends on this."

Politics is about making as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.

How do I make more friends?

Benefit!

Provide sufficient benefits and delegate sufficient power. As for the corruption that may result, that's another story.
Please, don't you know there are only a handful of wizards in the entire world right now?

With just a few rotten fruits, how corrupt can they get?

Tierra was not even afraid of their corruption.

Corruption is good; it shows they still have ambition.

If they all lay flat on their backs, that would really give Tiera a headache.

After Tiera finished speaking, she stopped looking at the group of old-fashioned officials.

Because he can already hear the restless desires lurking in the hearts of the current officials.

The desire for power, the desire for profit.

Once this is started, things become much easier.

“There will be many more villages like this,” Tiera paused, then added, “We need a very large population to fill these villages.”
