v6 Chapter 5： Human problem (1/2)

The Marlow Empire is very big. ☆→

As one of the two great empires on the mainland of Sainz, the territory of the Marlow Empire is dozens of times smaller than the small country of the Kingdom of Lampari.

As for the Principality of Constantine, which is several times smaller than the Kingdom of Rampage, it is even more incomparable to the Malo Empire.

Although Xu can't get accurate figures, according to his experience living in the Kingdom of Lampari, the area of ​​the Lampari Kingdom is about the same as that of a medium province in the Earth.

According to this calculation, the area of ​​the Marlow Empire can almost match the total area of ​​the Earth on Earth, which can definitely be called a huge empire.

However, contrary to Xu’s expectations, the population of this large empire is not as many as ten times as large as the area of ​​the Lampari Kingdom.

According to the general data provided by the Marquis of Sosgaard, the current total population of the Marlow Empire is only about 50 million, just over ten times the total population of the Kingdom of Lampari.

Even with the population that each party cannot accurately count, this deviation will not be greater.

With only a population of more than 50 million on such a large area, the population density in the Marlow Empire is extremely low, making Xu Yi, a traversing person from the Earth on Earth, very uncomfortable.

In the private territory of the Marquis of Sosgaard, if he is in the Kingdom of Lampari, then with his Marquis status, the acquisition of the land may be around 50 square kilometers.

But in the Marlow Empire, his private territory was more than an astonishing 1,000 square kilometers, enough to match a slightly smaller city that Xu was also impressed on Earth.

However, in such a large private territory. According to the statistics of the Marquis of Southgate in the previous two years. The total population is only less than 30,000!

If you let these 30,000 people share it. Counting down even a large area of ​​several hectares per person!

But this brings a problem in the eye.

Aside from the relatives and guards of the Sosgaard family and the servants in the private estate, the rest of the more than 27,000 people have to leave those old people who are too old and have no labor at all. The ability of young children, so there is only about 15,000 people left.

Among the 5,000-plus labor force, there are more than 8,000 women who have a much lower labor force, leaving less than 7,000 young people.

These 7,000 people are the most important labor force that constitutes the private territory of the Marquis of Sosgaard, and can even be regarded as the most basic and core force of the entire Sosgaard family.

Now Xu also asked for a 10,000 person to the Marquis of Southgate. Naturally, he was very surprised.

Don't say that these 7,000 people can't all be handed over to Xu Yi, and even if they give it all, it's still more than 3,000 people.

”Hui Huichang... If I remember correctly, there are only a total of seven factories that you originally planned to build. Why do you need 10,000 so many?” asked the Marquis of Sosgaard inexplicably.

”How much?” Xu also looked at the Marquis of Sosgaard, who had a somewhat overreacting reaction. He thought about it and woke up.

He is now used to communicating with the people of Lampari and the people of the surrounding countries about the magical industry, and this has basically become common sense in those countries, but for the Marlow Empire and Southgate. For the Marquis, there are still some common sense that transcend them.

Think of it here. Xu also remembered the fact that in Bonta City, several new factories were built because of the expansion of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and the situation was that when the Earl of Satsuma, who was still the owner of Bangta City, was required to hire a minimum of 3,000 workers.

At that time, Count Satsuma heard his request. It was astonished as the Marquis of Sosgaard, but when Xu made a comment, the Earl of Satsuma expressed his great pleasure and actively supported Xu’s thoughts.

Because of this, it helped Bangta City solve the problem of more than 3,000 people, which is equivalent to helping him.

Although the Marquis of Sosgaard is a bit shocked, he must have refused this opportunity.

Then, after listening to Xu’s explanation that these factories needed a large amount of labor to participate, the Marquis of Sosgaard frowned for a moment, but shook his head.

”Mr. Xu, I am afraid I can't solve this problem. The top priority of these labors in the territory is planting. If the basic food production cannot be guaranteed, then everything else is meaningless. Now I have what I have on the territory. More than 10,000 people can only be barely able to maintain, but they can't open up the farmland on the entire territory. If you give 10,000 more people, even if you say those women can... I still can't accept it.”

Xu is also somewhat puzzled.

The Marquis of Sosgaard clearly went to the Kingdom of Lampari and the Principality of Constantine to inspect it. Isn't it still known that with the help of farmland magic machinery, farming now does not need so many people to complete it?

After asking this question to the Marquis of Sosgaard, he got a slightly embarrassing response.

”This... I only pay attention to the impact of various home magic machinery and infrastructure. I don't pay much attention to the field of magic machinery. If it is not for you to let the Cantona Chamber of Commerce to assist in the harvest, I even I don’t know the farmland magic machinery at all.”
