Blessed by abundance, be a Terran curse

Kazdel is such a big city, is it true that there is no one engaged in industry or commerce?

It's really very possible!

Because when Kal'tsit dug out the doctor, Kazdel didn't even have a few high-speed battleships.

What on earth were these two siblings doing in the hundreds of years after the war?

Could it be that they have been resisting foreign harassment all along? Could it be that this is Leithania's fault again?

That should be it.

"I've discovered that what I lack most isn't resources, but people. What can these 600-plus people do?"

Lying on the soft chair, Huang Cao felt helpless for the first time.

It turns out that you can't become fat in one bite. It's useless to think too much.

If only I were the Demon King of Kazdel, I could carry out any industrial plan I wanted without having to worry about population issues at all.

Why couldn't I have traveled through time earlier? Maybe I could have competed for the title of Demon King...

......

Two months later at night.

Dear Miss Lamaren.

Seeing your letter is like seeing you in person.

It has been nearly two years since we last met. I wonder how you are feeling recently and whether you are happy. I have asked the messenger to prepare some gifts for you this time. I hope you will not refuse.

Sometimes I wonder what a person can do when he is born into this world.

Become a hero or become a nearby weed that can be destroyed at will? Now I have the answer.

I originally thought that my dead soul relative just wanted me to become a high and mighty nobleman and collect money for him.

But it wasn't until I sat in this position that I realized how much responsibility I had...

So, if I have time, I would like to use some money to order some clothes from you. I remember that you sisters are all very clever and skillful. Don't worry, I will pay enough for each piece of clothing and will never let your sisters' efforts go to waste.

"I feel like my writing isn't very good. I feel like I can't write cheesy words."

Huang Cao carefully placed the written letter in a gold-stamped envelope, sealed it with wax, and immediately asked someone to send the letter to the Banshee Valley.

He really couldn't find anyone to help him. If he continued like this, the people in the territory would almost have no clothes to wear.

It turns out that farming is far more likely to damage clothes than fighting, and death on the battlefield often happens in an instant.

The remaining clothes could easily be picked up and sent back to the rear, where they could be mended and worn again.

As the saying goes: The strong never complain about the environment, but it is indeed disgusting if the environment is too bad.

"Don't even think about it. Victoria's Steam Knights took nearly a hundred years to develop before they could be used on the battlefield. What you're doing now is good enough."

Warfarin, who was wearing pajamas, made a cup of sweet Lecoco and placed her hands on the boy's shoulders with a worried look on her face.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Didn't you say a year ago that being a noble was all about pleasure? Why are you pushing yourself so hard?"

Huang Cao said seriously, "I did try to be bad, but it's really uncomfortable. It's like playing a game. I've already reached the breakthrough level, but I can't go any further because I lack materials."

"You don't understand the feeling of a game being stuck..."

"game?"

"Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you. Anyway, I'm really upset right now. How can there be a stuck level in a development game in this world?"

"No, now is not a good time for rapid development. We need to let these hundreds of people quickly start families and build careers. Now there is no pressure to raise children."

In fact, there have been newborns in Huangcao's territory over the past year, but the proportion is quite small.

"They were all mercenaries in the past. Their long, dangerous lives have made them unwilling to trust anyone easily. It's not easy to get them to live together."

Even if you don’t believe me, you have to make me believe it!

Especially now that the living environment is so good.

While patrolling the territory, Huang Cao discovered that many Sarkaz people were more reserved than he had imagined. There were even emotions between men and women that could not be expressed.

Combining the information from the Originium database, Huang Cao discovered that the Sarkaz had a strange phenomenon.

During the war, the Sarkaz people's fertility rate was surprisingly high, but after the war, the fertility rate dropped a lot.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. During wartime, no one knows whether they can survive the next day. In order to relieve pressure, many people will choose to indulge themselves. In addition, the conditions are limited, so the probability of winning is extremely high.

Sarkaz with stomach problems are often given special treatment and sent to safer places in the rear.

As for the survival rate of children?

This requires mentioning the physical fitness of the Terran people.

As long as it is not due to Originium infection, missing limbs is a minor illness for most races on this land.

Although life in the rear could not be described as luxurious, there was no need to immediately go to the battlefield and fight.

In addition, war requires population, so many people choose to give birth to children.

Although no one, and it is impossible for anyone to ask the child whether he wants to be born in this chaotic world.

This is also the reason why after the war, many orphans suddenly appeared in Kazdel "out of thin air".

Please give me votes, this is really important to the author, please, thank you!

Chapter 24: Help from performance?

After the war in Kazdel ended, the pressure of survival from the outside world suddenly decreased a lot, and many people began to seriously choose their other half.

In addition, both men and women want to get rid of their past mercenary careers as much as possible, so their words and actions become much more reserved.

Given the extremely long lifespan of this race, it is possible for the two parties to have a long-term relationship that lasts for more than 20 years.

Add to that the distrust caused by a mercenary career, and this time may become even longer.

"Pass my order on. A matchmaking event will be held in a month. If you get married and have a child, I will directly subsidize you with five gold coins! This year only! Of course, the prerequisite is that you survive in good health."

Huang Cao had originally planned to expand the castle in the next few years and install various entertainment facilities. Now it seems that this proposal will have to be postponed for several decades.

A full 5% of Kazdel's land is inhabited by just a few hundred people.

There are really too few people, and someone still needs to build the Pharaoh’s pyramid!

As for why Huangcao did not choose to recruit people from outside, it was because up to now, the territory had developed to this point, and no one except himself had communicated with the outside world.

If nothing unexpected happened, Theresa wouldn't even be aware that the environment here had changed. The Demon King was still fighting wits and courage with Letania and the top leaders of other countries.

Now that there is no radio, the six heroes of Kazdel are now acting independently, but most of them are willing to listen to the Demon King.

How could he have the time to take care of his own small territory? As long as he didn't jump around, he might not be discovered for more than a hundred years.

This is not without precedent in Huang Cao's previous life.

But there is no time now. After seeing the richness of the land, even Theresa might have evil thoughts, so she has to hide herself as much as possible.

Theresa is portrayed very well in the plot. She is a complete template of a person who cares about the people. Although she may be a little selfish in her heart, she has always been the devil king of this race so far.

He is kind and merciful, but definitely not a saint, so you have to be on guard against him no matter what.

Don’t be naive and think that other masters are under a halo of lower intelligence just because you were chosen by the goddess to be the protagonist.

Caution is the boat.

It wasn't long before Huang Cao's order to reward population growth took effect instantly.

Taking this as an excuse, many men and women broke down their previous barriers. Even if they didn't like someone, they could cleverly avoid the embarrassment by saying it was the lord's order.

Sometimes gold coins are not the most important thing. What’s important is that you give the other person a chance.

In the process, Huang Cao encourages both parties to be honest with each other about their emotional history and not to plant bombs for future relationships.

After all, everyone's life and relationships are quite complicated during wartime.

In a high-pressure environment, in order to relieve the pressure and fear of death, it is hard to say who is right or wrong.

But in the future, when a family goes out shopping, someone on the street suddenly says, "It seems like your husband has slept in the same bed with me."

This is very embarrassing and may even affect the child's sense of identification with his parents or even his territory.

Although this is ridiculous and can be said to be unnecessary worry, it is best to avoid stomach-wrenching situations as much as possible.

Since everyone in Kazdel had basically gone through this, hundreds of people spoke frankly about their experiences.

Besides, talking about these unimportant personal matters is much better than talking about how many people you have killed.

Huangcao was very pleased with the people's calmness.

Because this means that they have really begun to walk out of the haze of the past and begin to embrace a better new future.

In just less than three months, nearly two hundred people in Huangcao's territory came to report the good news to him, but none of them received gold coins.

"Respected Lord, thank you for giving us this opportunity. We really can't accept this gold coin anymore."

Basically everyone who came to register for marriage said this, but Huang Cao believed that a gentleman's word is as good as gold, so he still gave the five gold coins as a gift.

Even if all the gold coins were distributed, they would only be one thousand. Who are you looking down on?

If Theresa saw me, she would think I was poor. Everyone has it, no one can escape it!

So for the next six months, Huang Cao and Hua Farin rushed to wedding venues.

The wear-resistant work clothes that Lamaren had originally ordered were temporarily transformed into a slim-fitting dress.

Happiness is permanent, work is temporary.

Development may really need to be stopped for a while. Anyway, my territory cannot be mechanically ascended in a short time.

Although Huang Cao did not think that he was winning people's hearts, this series of actions undoubtedly greatly enhanced his status and prestige in the territory.

The young man's approachable and easygoing nature, as well as his tough stance as a lord, were deeply imprinted in the hearts of every one of his subjects.

This gentleness is truly no less than that of Her Highness Theresa.

So can you be my lord for life?

We can do anything!

Not to mention the negative impact of suspending development, but at least having children can better enhance the cohesion of the territory.

At least with concern, everyone will work harder for their own home.

I used to be a passer-by on this land, but now I am the transformer of this land.

In order to give their family a better life, the whole family became very motivated and worked harder.

......

After a period of time, in order to welcome the new life, the territory's educational work must also begin to prepare.

"Warfarin, have you bought the printing press I asked you to buy?"

"I bought it. It took a lot of effort to bring this thing in. It was imported from Yan Country, but it can't run without Originium. I only spent fifty gold coins to buy this machine, but it cost over five hundred gold coins to ship it here."

"If it weren't for the help of Mr. Ji, we might not be able to transport this thing out."

Huafalin has been wandering in this land for so long that he always meets a few people he can talk to.

Through the help of these people, Huang Cao successfully contacted the most successful textile businessman in Yan State, and got the printing press through his connections.

This is essential if you want to develop education, otherwise it would be too slow if every book had to be copied by hand.

As I said, development cannot be a one-stop shop. It must develop in a more advanced and permanent direction.

Laziness will sooner or later sow the seeds of disaster for yourself.

Besides, there is a saying that sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood.

"I've compiled the information. Let's teach them how to read first. Since Theresa doesn't have the energy to do it right now, I'll do it."

Huang Cao took out a piece of source stone with a not very high concentration from the drawer, and dropped it into the machine, which immediately started working.

A literacy model book was printed at an extremely fast speed, and of course the text on it was naturally the common language in the Kazdel area.

After all, this machine can be exported. Since it is exported, it must be adapted to local conditions. It’s just that the price of custom-made ones is a bit expensive, and you need some connections to get the opportunity.

Although I really want to make the whole world speak Yan language.

But it is still a bit too difficult to ask his people to learn a new language in the midst of their busy schedule.
