Chapter 393: Ultimatum

Thinking of this, Yun Jing frowned and said, "What do you want so many black iron troops for?"

"The territory is too big, there must be some people to build it, right?" Emperor Shi Tian said a little helplessly, "Princess Lionheart killed in the second layer of the dungeon, creating a dark area with a radius of 1 million kilometers, such a large territory, if there are not enough people to develop it, it will be wasted." ”

"Huh?" Ka Wu then frowned and said, "The dungeon is not very productive, can you afford to feed more than 10 million people?"

"Not now. Emperor Shi Tian said with a smile: "So you have to pay compensation one by one, anyway, it will take you time to mobilize 100,000 slaves, and I plan to take a year or two to complete this matter." With this time buffer, the food problem can almost be solved. ”

"Hehe, you're talking lightly. Yun Jing sneered: "The slaves under our giants are either orcs, dwarves or minotaurs, are you sure you can afford to feed them?"

"That's my problem!" Emperor Shi then said, "In addition, I don't want too rubbish troops, humans, dwarves, orcs, half-orcs, and even minotaurs, but other than that, I don't want them." ”

"You're quite picky!" Ka Wu said with a frown, "What if we don't agree?"

"Whoever doesn't agree to me will be beaten!" Emperor Shi Tian sneered: "It's just that if you really want to make trouble for me to send troops, then it is not a matter of 100,000 slaves." If I'm in a good mood, I have to take hundreds of thousands of slaves, but if I catch up with my bad mood, slaughtering the city and exterminating the clan, and dying will be their only fate!"

"Huh?" After Yun Jing and Ka Wu heard this, their faces became very ugly.

Emperor Shi Tian didn't bother to pay attention to them, and said directly: "This is my last bottom-line condition, as long as I agree, I can swear that I will not commit any offence to all of you, otherwise, we will only see you on the battlefield." Anyway, you can't be the master, go back and discuss!"

After speaking, Emperor Shi Tian took the initiative to close the contact.

At this time, the barrage Ji who was having dinner with Emperor Shi Tian couldn't help but say, "Oh! Why do you want some slaves? You can extort some better things!"

"It's difficult!" Emperor Shi Tian said with a smile: "After all, the two major alliances are also people with heads and faces, and they still have millions of elite troops in their hands, if we really fight, even if we win, we will have to break our bones." Anyway, they won't give in easily, so it's better to take advantage of such a big deal than to fight with them. ”

"That's too!" Barrage Ji nodded and said, "But it's hard for me! Settle 10 million people, oh my God, just thinking about it gives me a headache!"

"Then think of more good things. Emperor Shi Tian said with a wicked smile: "With these populations, we will be developed!"

In the eyes of those lords, these populations are basically dispensable cannon fodder, and it is not distressing to die 108,000, anyway, they can be replenished anytime and anywhere.

However, for Emperor Shi Tian, the interstellar emperor who is best at internal affairs, population is a resource!

Why did Emperor Shi Tian dare to go to war with three or five countries in his own country at the same time when he was emperor, and he was able to win the battle?

The key point is that Emperor Shakti's view and control of the state and society are completely different from those of other countries.

For example, the Lionheart Empire, where Princess Lionheart is located, is a typical interstellar feudal empire.

The pyramidal social structure was headed by the royal family, followed by the nobility, below the commoners, followed by the untouchables and slaves.

Royalty and nobility make up only 1% of the population, but they account for 99% of society's resources.

Normally, they can naturally become human beings, enjoy life at will, be poor and luxurious, and love whatever they want.

However, when war came, the royal family and aristocracy, as the ruling class, were unwilling to sacrifice their own interests and spend large sums of money and resources to fight.

Especially the aristocracy, usually suppressed by the royal family, superficially submissive, but secretly have two hearts, once they encounter a national war, their first thought is to preserve their strength, and they are not willing to fight to the death with the empire at all.

In this case, a large part of the social resources of the whole country are controlled by the aristocracy, and many of them are used for pleasure, which does not have any great benefit to the country at all.

Therefore, if it is said that the wealth created by the Lionheart Empire every year is one hundred, in the event of a national war, the royal family is desperate, and can only squeeze out thirty to fight, and the other seventy or so are under the control of the nobles, and it is almost impossible to use them in war.

And this is the case not only in interstellar feudal societies, but even in so-called democratic and free countries.

As long as there are powerful private mega-corporations and super-rich people in the country, then these guys will take up a large part of the country's resources, but they will never spend all their money on foreign wars, at most, when the country is in crisis, they will take some out, but they will definitely enjoy it when they should enjoy it.

And Emperor Shi Tian is different, this guy was born as an interstellar pirate, and after the founding of the country, he formed a unique independent kingdom and ruling class.

All state assets belong to the state, that is, to the emperor Shi Tiandi.

All people are soldiers, unified management, from birth, is equivalent to joining the army.

In early childhood, students go to military kindergartens, and those with excellent performance and high IQ will be assigned to different elementary schools, then middle schools, and universities.

As long as you are smart and capable, you can assign good positions, so that people have an upward channel.

And those who have little talent must also go to work and work, but after all, they can support themselves, and even live well.

Because in Emperor Shitian's country, there are no nobles and no big capitalists, and 99% of the resources that should have been occupied by them have been taken away by the state, that is, Emperor Shitian.

Then Emperor Shakti would spend 90% on the expansion of armaments, and the remaining 9% would be distributed to the civilians, which made his civilians live a good life.

Because it is also a civilian class, the commoners on Emperor Shitian's side can account for 10% of the resources, while the civilian class in other countries can only account for 1%.

This is possible because of the existence of supercomputers that can solve a large number of management and planning problems.

And Emperor Shi Tian controlled a powerful military force, strictly restricting the people below from ganging up, and finally formed such a deformed country, but the result was invincible and invincible.

In his career as an emperor for so many years, Emperor Shi Tian also summed up a lot of management experience, the most important of which is population.

For Emperor Shi Tian, the more people under him, the better, because if everyone goes to work, it is equivalent to creating wealth for him.

So the only problem is to use technology to find a way to make everyone have a job.

And Emperor Shi Tiandi is indeed not lacking in technical reserves at all.

First of all, Emperor Shi Tian has three god-level followers, and he has a large amount of magic technology, which can be completely taken out and shared.

Secondly, as the president of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, Danmaku Ji also has a lot of technology in his hands, although many of them can't be used, but there are still some that can be used.

In addition, Emperor Shi Tian also had the fire of wisdom in his mind, which condensed the wisdom and skills of countless people.

This means that even if an illiterate person reaches the hands of Emperor Shitian, he can use memory transmission to find a technique from the fire of wisdom for him to master.

For example, when Emperor Shi Tian came, he only had stupid cave people in his hands, but with the fire of wisdom, Emperor Shi Tian made these cave people become qualified carpenters, not only able to produce carts, but even crossbow arrows.

In this case, if Emperor Shi Tian could have an additional 10 million people in his hands, it would be equivalent to 10 million more workers and peasants.

With the vast and boundless social space, it is equivalent to a small country out of thin air!

The output of this small country alone is enough to make the materials in the hands of Emperor Shi Tian extremely rich.

Not only that, but these huge black iron troops, in fact, can be slowly upgraded after some training.

You know, strictly speaking, any creature has the potential to upgrade, even kobolds, who have been promoted to gods, and even goblins have produced sages.

As long as you eat well and dress well, with a certain amount of exercise, among the 10 million black iron troops, there will definitely be many talents who have cultivated their fighting spirit and even magic power, so as to be promoted to the bronze class, and even the appearance of silver-level masters is very normal.

Of course, the key is to be able to eat these people.

You must know that the underground world is extremely short of food, and since Emperor Shi Tian received a large number of dwarves, the food in his hands has also begun to have a crisis.

Therefore, the top priority now is probably to engage in food.

As a result, Emperor Shi Tian hurriedly issued orders in succession, a command-like Yuelan Holy Maiden, and asked her to step up the growth of fruit trees such as bread trees.

An order was given to the four legions outside, telling them to pay attention to collecting grain and grass, and to stop cutting down the fruit trees that could be eaten for a long time, and to transport them back.

Anyway, the more things you can eat now, the better, a little bit counts.

Just thinking about those 10 million mouths, Emperor Shi Tian has a little headache now.

Even, Emperor Shi Tian hit the idea to the little angel and asked her to help think of a way, preferably to buy food, or an alchemy building to produce food.

And at this time, Emperor Shi Tian suddenly remembered one thing, that is, in the hands of the Overlord Flower, there seemed to be a super-large alchemy farm, which could even meet the daily needs of 100,000 wolf cavalry.

In this way, it can be snatched up, and it can definitely greatly reduce the food pressure of Emperor Shitian.

However, such a thing is not easily discarded by ordinary people, even if it is taken away when it dies, it must be hidden tightly, and it is difficult to get it unless it is captured alive.

So, Emperor Shi Tian simply sent a letter to Overlord Flower, asking her to hand over this thing, and then Emperor Shi Tian promised not to attack Overlord Flower again, and even helped her occupy a piece of territory on the second floor.

Anyway, for the sake of food, Emperor Shi Tian really fought hard.
