Chapter 164: The Population Question
"The four of them are not stupid, and in the same way, I am not stupid, and if they continue to calculate me in this way, I will have nothing to talk to them about. X" Patrick didn't bother to explain to Celeval that the elves who were addicted to the whirlpool of Silvermoon City would not understand.
Although the scenery of the floating city is very beautiful, but at this time, Selevor also wants to appreciate it, His Majesty Anastarian means to reconcile the contradictions of the directors as much as possible, Selevor came over with this resolution, he was originally confident, but who knows, Chief Patrick glanced at it and directly refused, instantly slapped his face, which made Celeval feel very sad.
"Director Patrick, do you just say no?" Celewall was again confirmed to Patrick.
"You just do what I said. If the last three resolutions are still like this, then invite the four of them, and don't bother me again. Patrick didn't want to continue the conversation with Celewall.
The purpose of the council is very clear, let Patrick develop alone in the Ghost Land, and the tentacles of their four councilors cannot reach out to places such as Daylight City, the entire ghost land has almost been taken over by Patrick and the Windranger family, and Patrick can follow the name of the council council to attract most of the scattered elves to his command.
These clean, unmarked elven civilians naturally fell into Patrick's camp after they developed a sense of belonging in Daylight City, and the council had no way to recruit people in the ghost land on Patrick's own.
And if Patrick returns to the Silvermoon Council now, the situation will be much worse than before, at least the given seat of the council is the vice president, and there is a chairman above who has suppressed himself, and when the final resolution comes, they can use the majority to completely revoke Patrick's proposal, and it is more likely that the council needs to withdraw the appointment of the chief executive of Patrick's ghost land, so that some of the manpower and material resources that Patrick has accumulated before will be exhausted in the long-term struggle.
And he couldn't stand the suppression of the parliamentary foursome openly and secretly, so there was only one option, and in the end, all the things that Patrick had worked so hard to develop would be divided up by the council, and after years of hard work, all of them made wedding dresses for the four major families.
With such a clumsy scheme and such bad acting skills, Patrick really scoffed at it.
……
Returning to the City of Daylight, he returned to the same life as before, studying the arcane, dealing with daily government affairs, and the establishment of the Floating City, after this baptism of the tribe, the elves of the entire Ghost Land realized that at least it was safe to hide in the Floating City, and there was no need to worry about the threat on the ground.
And think of the elves who live in the floating city, and the elves who serve under the board of directors of Patrick, with their high-spirited appearance and superiority, plus the fact that they live in the sky like a mythical story, and are accompanied by clouds every day, the elves of the Ghost Land want to live in the floating city even more.
In particular, the residents of Taquilin have seen the tragic situation of Golden Mist Village and Fengxing Village, and the fierce battle of the orc invasion is still vivid, at least those orcs in the floating city can't beat it, right? His own safety has also been guaranteed, and Patrick Cabolon, the lord of Floating City, is a director of Silvermoon and a ** master, and the safety level of Floating City is probably much higher than that of Silvermoon City.
I don't know when the message will rise, for Patrick, this is a good thing, at least the floating city has been recognized by the elven civilians in the ghost land, and from time to time there are elves to defect, which will make Patrick's city more and more prosperous, and with the increase of residents, more and more elves will come to the floating city, forming a virtuous circle.
With the increase in the number of settlers, residents are living more and more intensively in the floating city, so as to maximize the efficiency of life. Whether it is humans or elves, they are all social animals, everyone has their own way, and these people with a clear division of labor will form a large and sound work network, and the fast speed of life in the big city is not unreasonable.
With the increase of population, the congestion situation will be effectively improved, and the utilization rate and development speed of materials will also be doubled. For now, the urban construction of the floating city has not been completed, the outermost wall has not been closed, the housing and planning in the city are still in preparation, the preliminary project has only completed the energy power system and arcane protection system of the floating city, before the orc invasion, the road planning has been completed, and the teleportation array of the annex island, as for the construction of the internal infrastructure, due to lack of manpower, it can only be temporarily stranded.
Facts have proved that Patrick's approach is correct, as long as it is guaranteed that it will not be interfered with by external enemies, the development of Floating City will always be on the right track and will not be affected in the slightest.
Patrick now needs the social dividends brought by the high population, and relying on these social dividends, he can greatly accelerate the development of the floating city and create a top city in the ghost land.
As for whether the rising population will cause urban congestion, the question can be considered the other way around: will the decline in population delay urban congestion? Here, Patrick can responsibly say no, and the decline in population will greatly cause urban congestion.
For example, Patrick has carefully studied that from the end of World War II to 2000, Maozi's population plummeted by more than 6 million, which is basically equivalent to the population loss of a major war or a major natural disaster, and the large loss of population has not brought benefits to large cities such as St. Petersburg and Moscow.
On the contrary, due to the decline of population, many small cities have lost their vitality, and most people have been forced to move to big cities in search of better living, medical and educational conditions, which has greatly increased the population congestion in large cities, so the decline in population is by no means a good thing for large cities.
Regarding the number of people, there is only one situation that is the most ideal model, and that is to stabilize and rise, which is the best situation for those in power, and there is no need to worry about the development of society, and the whole city is also in a good situation of development.
Now the elves in the Ghost Land basically want to come to the City of Sunshine to live, and Patrick has also specially revised a clause in the city, the farmland inside the Floating City all belongs to the Tower of Daylight, and can only be cultivated if it is appointed, but the newly cultivated land under the Floating City is cultivated at will, and only a small part of the agricultural tax needs to be paid.
The requirement for ordinary elves to move in to the Floating City is taxes, as long as you start paying taxes to the City of Sunshine, you can get the qualification to move in the Floating City, and you don't need any other conditions.
In addition to sending garrisons on the ground to guard the teleportation circle, Patrick also established a large number of farms to help Patrick accumulate materials, even if the enemy comes, the farmers can abandon the farmland and return directly to the floating city, which is simple and practical.
In normal times, the civilians are all under the floating city, and at night they return to the floating city directly through the teleportation array to rest, and the elves who are troublesome can live in their own farms, unless a strong enemy comes, no one will be so blind,
