Next, it was Norman, the elf official in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, who reported. In the past year, the elves have been engaged in the work of increasing the value of agricultural output.

For the Alan Hill Empire, this aspect of work is an important task to maintain the stability of the empire, and it is not inferior to front-line wars at all.

And the elves lived up to expectations, helping the Alan Hill Empire to increase food production for three consecutive years, and there was only a little problem until recently.

Norman Fasheng briefly introduced the data, and then said to Des: "From the current production, our total grain production may drop by 7% in the new year. This figure already It's huge, so it's necessary to redo the production revision."

An increase in food production is actually not a good thing, just like a decrease in food production does not necessarily mean a disaster.

In today's Alan Hill Empire, the area of ​​arable land is very exaggerated. Conversely, the population that needs to be raised is relatively very small.

The population of less than tens of billions is scattered on hundreds of thousands of earths, which is obviously already a state of being completely sparsely populated.

In this state, high grain production is basically meaningless. The food reserves are enough for the entire empire to consume for more than ten years, and this number is still increasing.

At the same time, the scale of food-consuming industries such as wine making can no longer continue to expand, because the population base is there, and there is no way to consume the production capacity of wine and other food products.

The resulting collapse of food prices has lasted for two years in the Alan Hill Empire. If it were not for the imperial agricultural subsidies, the farmers who might grow food might have gone bankrupt long ago.

"There are many reasons for the reduction in production, including the serious drop in food prices and the industrialization of the two food-producing planets." Norman continued to use cold figures to describe the development trajectory of a modern empire.

A planet that can grow food must have a population. Where there is a population increase, industrialization will naturally begin. This is simply a certainty.

Pure food is not valuable, so it needs to be processed to obtain higher income. Even if the local farmers don't think about these things, the local consuls will think about such issues.

They must try their best to make the area under their jurisdiction rich and strong, so that their ruling record can have a beautiful score.

As a result, several early immigrant planets with a population of more than one million have all begun deep industrialization. After the introduction of the robot, it began to rush towards the direction of the super manufacturing factory.

Seven planets are building star rings, and some regions are even considering the construction plan of Dyson spheres. The two fastest are submitting applications, hoping to give priority to building Dyson spheres in their regions to provide more powerful energy and support Regional economic development.

Perhaps no one could have imagined that the speed of industrial development could be so fast. With the support of epoch-making computer technology and technology trees, the industry of the Alan Hill Empire is surpassing China in the era of building the Fengling 004 spaceship in all aspects.

Norman continued to emphasize the reasons for the sluggish agricultural data: "The most important one is our colonial plan, which has not achieved the expected goal. Population restrictions have prevented us from completing the one-year short-term plan formulated last year."

"Of course, war is also one aspect... When we made the one-year short-term plan, we didn't expect that wars would break out with other forces in the new year." After he finished speaking, he also looked at Des.

Des still nodded, and then opened his mouth to define the nature of the incident: "The reduction in agricultural production is not a fatal problem."

He glanced at Norman, and said comfortingly: "When the war is over, the empire may immediately obtain more than 3 million new population that can be used immediately."

"According to the information provided by the Jiuyou Sect, the total population of the Heavenly Sword Sect ruled by

Between billions and tens of billions...these are all human beings, they just need a little training, and they can be used immediately. ’ Des sounded like a slave trader when he said that.

"Of course, we are still making further evaluations, but at present, fighting this war is still profitable." He continued: "When more people are gained, the price of food will be slightly stable for a period of time. In addition …With such a huge market, the empire can also get new markets.”

"Because the war started the robot production line, our development speed in other areas has been reduced by at least 5%, but it is still within a controllable range." Dnowsky added.

"There is also good news. Our population is increasing further, and our control over the planets in the core area is also increasing." Diens then added.

For Des, these are all good news, which also made the atmosphere of the meeting slightly better.

"In short, the past year has been a year of good weather. Everything in the empire has been developing smoothly, and this is all thanks to you." He said with a smile.

...

At the same time, far away on Planet Hope 2, in the increasingly compressed Tianjian Shenzong control area, the third elder of Shenzong brought his direct descendants to a certain place on the front line.

All kinds of news received by Tianjian Shenzong recently made the frontline commander very worried. The entire battle situation became more and more unfavorable, and Shenzong's voice of doubt was unprecedentedly high.

Originally, Shenzong was already preparing to break this Cambridge and retreat from Planet Hope 2—but another news that annoyed them was reported layer by layer and sent to the third elder, fourth elder and fifth elder.

This news was more dangerous than other news, and even made them feel a deadly threat.

"You mean...you saw with your own eyes that people from the Nine Nether Sect...appeared here?" The third elder's face was as cold as ice, and he questioned a swordsman with a bandage on his head.

The swordsman bowed slightly, and quickly replied: "Report to the elder master, the disciple saw it with his own eyes, black clothes and black robes, urging a black sword... the traitors of the Jiuyou Sect can't be wrong!"

"This is difficult... They also have the Cambridge method... Even if our side retreats, those rebels from the Jiuyou Sect may not be able to join forces with these outsiders and kill the sect." An aide said in a low voice.

"I don't understand the truth?" The third elder snorted coldly, and then ordered the lecturer who was waiting respectfully: "Reward this disciple who brought back the news..."

After finishing speaking, he walked out with a group of masters, and not far away, rumbling cannons sounded one after another, and the attack of the Alan Hill Empire began again.
