Chapter 87 A Lot of Labor Is Required

"President Xu, why do you insist on keeping these goblins as labor?" After giving up the idea of ​​dissuading Xu Yi, Verus quickly turned his doubts to a new aspect.

"Yes, if labor is needed, my people are much stronger than goblins." Garn Firehammer said while bending his arms vigorously, showing his well-developed biceps on his upper arms to everyone . "Those despicable goblins can't compare to us in terms of strength or brains."

"It's very simple, there is only one reason." Xu Yi stretched out a finger. "That means there are enough goblins. Gann, of course your people are excellent, but let me ask you, even if all the dwarves on the entire Demon Cloud Continent are gathered, how many can there be in total?"

The proud expression on Garn Firehammer's face immediately became unnatural.

As a dwarf, he is not good at lying, and even less good at telling lies in front of so many people.

After hesitating for a while, he replied rather dejectedly: "Probably... probably more than half a million..."

"Five hundred thousand?" Xu Yi turned to Verus again. "Verus, how many elves are there in total?"

Verus smiled wryly: "President Xu, I understand what you mean. In terms of population alone, the sum of our races is probably not as good as one-tenth of the goblins. But the goblins are not strong. It can even be said to be very weak, using them as labor, I am afraid it is not so useful?"

"I didn't expect them to be very useful." Xu Yi shook his head. "You all know what many factories under our chamber of commerce do. You should also know that many of these jobs do not require a high IQ at all, and even do not require high physical strength. These jobs are just some very simple jobs. It’s just boring and repetitive work. However, no matter how simple it is, someone needs to do it after all. Without these goblins, how much industrial scale do you think can be supported by just relying on your few races?”

Representatives of several indigenous races looked at each other with helpless expressions.

In the former Moyun Continent, all other races except the Dragon Clan could barely survive under the high pressure of the goblins. How can it feed a larger population.

The races present here can all be regarded as the races with the largest population on the Moyun Continent, but the largest number of human beings among them is probably only a million or so at most. Compared with the vast number of goblins, it is still far behind.

"Think about it, just the farmland magic machinery production base that is being planned, I estimate that more than 100,000 workers will be needed. Of these 100,000 workers, more than 80,000 of them are engaged in the simplest and most basic jobs. "

"And the output of such a production base was only about 5,000 farmland magic machines a year in the past few years. But according to the current calculations of our chamber of commerce, if we want to initially reclaim the cultivated land on the Moyun Continent, we need At least more than 200,000 units of various farmland magic machines. In other words, such a production base needs more."

"In this way, how many workers do you think I need to meet the demand? Not to mention that in addition to farmland magic machines, we also need a large number of other types of magic machines to improve the environment on the Magic Cloud Continent. At the same time, we need a lot of manpower Invest in transportation, communications, medical care, management and other areas of people's livelihood."

"Comprehensively, the combined population of your several races is far from enough."

Having said that, Xu Yi sighed and shook his head slightly.

"If possible, of course I don't want to keep the goblins. Because it may cause hidden dangers. But now I need these populations, and you races with high IQs and easier to learn new skills and knowledge need Use it for something more important. See what I mean?"

Hearing Xu Yi's last words, the eyes of the representatives of these indigenous races lit up.

In fact, they have been worried for a long time, nothing more than worrying that if Xu Yi uses a large number of goblins, it may threaten their future development on Moyun Continent.

But from Xu Yi's words just now, we can know that Xu Yi didn't intend to make much use of the goblin race, but still regarded them as a few races more seriously.

"Master Xu is right. I have been to Sainz Continent, and I am very aware of the huge gap between our Moyun Continent and Sainz Continent. To make up for this gap, it will take a lot of development of the population." It was still Mens who was the first to express his opinion.

"That's right, let the goblins do the simplest jobs. Our dwarves on the continent of Sainz are all skilled craftsmen with superb skills. How can we be inferior to them? That's a lot." Garn Firehammer also said.

Verus didn't speak, but nodded, expressing his opinion.

Seeing that everyone had unified their minds, Xu Yi smiled slightly.

He wasn't worried that someone would really oppose him. After all, the power that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now possesses is in an absolute position on the Moyun Continent, and other races have no ability to resist.

But since you want to use the power of these indigenous races. Then it is better to be able to unify their ideas.

After all, if you want to develop Moyun Continent well, you cannot do without the assistance of these indigenous races.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi felt a strange feeling in his heart.

The situation in Moyun Continent reminded him of the history of America on Earth.

After discovering the New World, a group of Europeans flooded into North America one after another, but massacred the local indigenous Indians. After controlling the entire North American continent, they brought a large number of black slaves from the African continent to work for themselves. Thus laid the solid foundation of America.

Comparing with Moyun Continent, the counterparts to the Indians should be the native races standing beside him.

It's just that Xu Yi didn't have the idea of ​​massacring them, because even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce could do this at present, it would not be able to develop the Moyun Continent properly due to its own lack of manpower.

And corresponding to the black slaves, it should be goblins.

It is also not very civilized, but has basic working ability. Goblins are very suitable for doing the simplest and basic work like blacks.

Moreover, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce could indeed treat the goblins like the American ancestors treated the black slaves, and Xu Yi didn't feel guilty about it.

After seeing a group of goblins slaughter a human village and boil all the humans in a pot, he stopped treating the goblins as their intelligent equivalents.

After discussing with the representatives of the surrounding indigenous races for a while, Hart returned.

"Master President, we have surrounded the goblin king city, and we promise not to let any goblin escape." Hart paused and added. "Just now a group of goblins rushed out and wanted to attack, but I ordered them all to be killed."

"I think this team of goblins doesn't want to attack, but wants to escape?" Xu Yi glanced at Hart and said.

Hart immediately lowered his head: "Your Excellency has learned from you."

Xu Yi waved his hand, didn't go into the details, turned around and explained to the representatives of other indigenous races: "You are here to cooperate with Hart to seal off the royal city. I'll go in and meet the so-called goblin king."

Hart and the others were startled at the same time.

"President Xu, are you planning to go alone?"

"President Xu, don't take any risks!"

"Master Xu, how can you put yourself in danger with such a precious body? Let's break through this royal city, capture that goblin king in front of you, and interrogate him as you please?"

"No, the goblins have already been scared by us, and have lost the courage to resist long ago. I will not be in any danger. Besides..." Xu Yi showed a confident smile. "Have you forgotten who I am?"

Everyone was stunned, and then remembered Xu Yi's other important identity besides the former president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce-the most powerful magician in Sainz Continent!

Xu Yi ignored everyone's reactions, patted Hart on the shoulder, and said "Be careful and be prepared", before disappearing on the spot.

The next moment, Xu Yi had already appeared inside the Goblin King City.

This so-called goblin king city is actually nothing more than a larger goblin stronghold.

There are no orderly buildings, nor any gorgeous decorations. The surrounding goblins are all scattered or sitting or lying down, with no order at all.

Twitching your nose casually, you can smell all kinds of unpleasant breaths coming in, making you want to vomit.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yi couldn't help shaking his head.

Although the IQ of goblins has always been low, it is really lamentable that a huge race that can be said to have ruled the Moyun Continent for thousands of years has not been able to develop a decent civilization after such a long time.

Of course, if the goblins can really develop a certain degree of civilization, it is impossible for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to open up the situation on the Moyun Continent so easily.

Seeing Xu Yi's sudden appearance, the goblins around were taken aback for a moment, then Qiqi let out an ugly cry and rushed over.

Xu Yi was too lazy to entangle with these goblins. With a move of the magic power in his body, he set up a magic shield around his body, blocking all the rushing goblins out, and then slowly flew into the air, launching a sound amplification magic.

"Goblin King, come out, I am the leader of the army outside, Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I want to meet you and have a face-to-face conversation. I know you understand, and you should also know that you have no choice .”

Xu also used the lingua franca of Moyun Continent, which was actually a language evolved from the incomplete language of the goblin race.

The voice dispersed. After Xu Yi waited patiently for about ten minutes, a row of goblins whose body shape was obviously different from other goblins, and who were even wearing a whole set of costumes made of unknown materials, walked over from the front right.

Where they passed by, other goblins quickly avoided a path, allowing them to walk over unimpeded proudly.

Xu Yi's eyes fell on the middle of this special team of goblins.

There, four strong goblins carried something like a sedan chair, on which sat a somewhat emaciated goblin, but was clearly different from other goblins in terms of appearance and temperament.

"Are you the goblin king?" Xu Yi asked, staring at him. (~^~)
