Nightmare Era

Chapter 242 Population Siphon·Taiheng Bankruptcy Wave
Is the cultural industry important?
It is very important for a country in the Dharma-ending world where no one can practice cultivation!

Because there is nothing wrong with what Qu Heng said. Cultural invasion can really attract talents, and talents are the cornerstone of a country's development. If the talents are gone, how can the country develop?

But this is a world of cultivating immortals, so why is the cultural industry so important?
You can publish a thousand or ten thousand novels, but they are not as good as publishing a spiritual realm monk.

Of course, if this spiritual realm monk fell in love with a country because he liked a novel, that would be a different matter.

Qu Heng understood this, and so did everyone in the Presbyterian Church, but they still did it and publicized it to brainwash the people at the bottom.

There is no way out for cultivating immortality, so it is better to switch to comics.

Cartoonists and novelists have high incomes and high status. Isn’t it better than being a miserable monk at the bottom of the world of immortality?

They also organize high-level meetings and book signings. A mortal writer has countless followers among immortal cultivators. Isn’t this enough to seduce you?
All we can say is that this is a powerful family.

For aristocratic families, the growth and continuation of the family is more important than anything else. For the family to destroy the country, the fate of the sect is just a basic operation.

As far as the Taiheng family is in charge, doing nothing is best for Taiheng.

Let alone a bad policy, even a good policy will become bad if it is implemented because of the family's self-interest.

What's more, there is now a country called Daxia, which seems inconspicuous, but has actually begun to compete with Taiheng in all aspects.

Starting from the entertainment industry, Qu Heng slapped his head and issued this order, but he never thought about the paper, pens, tablets, computers, and even comic websites for drawing comics and animation. Currently, only Daxia has animation studios. Do you think You have to buy it from Daxia.

Want to make a movie or TV series?Mobile phones can shoot, but they can only shoot videos of the lowest definition. If you want better videos, you need better cameras, better equipment, and higher technology, and these only exist in Daxia.

If you want to develop, fine, just pay for it.

In addition, to watch movies, you must have a cinema.

Our movie theaters are all equipped with a square, and there are restaurants, coffee shops, Mixue Bingcheng clothing stores, jewelry stores, etc. inside.

Sign a contract with the family, saying that as long as this land belongs to us, we can pay you a high monthly rent.

How could an aristocratic family not be willing to make money while lying down? Naturally, Daxia's chain of movie theaters also opened in the Taiheng Sect.

There are also some aristocratic families who said that not to mention other things, our family has a lot of idle people, so we can also do the job of a movie theater.

No problem, but how about leaving the troublesome matters of movie scheduling and ticket sales to us? You still only need to sit back and make money. We have negotiated the contract sharing for you. You can earn 41% of the money by showing a movie!

Naturally, the family would be happy to do so. If I only give out a piece of land or build a shopping mall, I can sit on the land and collect money without even needing me to shoot the movie. Why not do it.

But they don’t know that movie theaters are actually a partnership between movie companies and theater chains to share ordinary people’s money.

In a country with a sound economic system, this operation is no problem, because the country will redistribute the income of corporate theaters through taxation, allowing the economy to return to the entire economic system and circulate.

But there is a problem with Taiheng's distribution system. In addition to the aristocratic families, this sect is composed of civilians who are dependent on the aristocratic families. The civilians have no money at all. Their only value is to provide faith and luck.

There are no commercial activities in Taiheng. In terms of economic cycle, this means that the money spent by the people here and the children of aristocratic families is really lost!

Here we only take the film industry as an example. In fact, there are many similar industries.

For example, cars are the best made in Daxia.

For example, not everyone from aristocratic families can fly airplanes, and there is also a demand for airplanes.

For example, restaurants, milk tea shops, coffee shops, fast food restaurants, express delivery, almost all walks of life.

Many industries don’t have it, but it’s not that they don’t need it, it’s that no one has thought of it yet.

In fact, there is no difference between immortals and mortals in terms of enjoyment. They all need good drinks and delicious food.

Moreover, immortal cultivators, like homebodies, like to enjoy various conveniences in life without leaving home, so transplanting things like fast food takeout and express delivery can be seamlessly connected.

In the industry of cultivating immortals, there are even more examples of this.

From the physical state to the elixirs in the Qi refining stage, every immortal cultivator has an urgent need.

Spiritual weapon, magic weapon, treasure weapon.

Facing the wave of industrialization, Taiheng's weapon refining and elixir refining industry will be defeated by Daxia and will be unable to fight back.

Qu Heng only opened up a cultural market, but if there is no prohibition by law, there is freedom. Since he did not say that it was forbidden to do business with Daxia, many things from Daxia came in through the cultural industry.

With the influx of cultural industries, the civilians of Taiheng were the first to experience massive unemployment.

This kind of unemployment is normal. How can an agricultural country with a small peasant economy and pure handicraft industry compete with an industrial country?

Not to mention industry, even in the planting industry where magic and magic were cheated, Taiheng could not compete with Daxia.

Because you still need to cast spells manually when plowing the land, I directly installed the runes on the mechanical equipment.

What you consume is mana, and what I consume is the true power of the sun. You can use mana several times a day, but the true power of the sun is endless!
A large amount of low-priced grain poured into Daxia, which caused widespread unemployment among Daxia farmers because the grain could not be sold.

If you can't sell it, you have no money, and if you don't have money, you can't buy food to eat.

The people of Taiheng have never experienced this kind of thing. In the past, they only thought that food was too expensive. They grew their own rice, but they could only sell the rice and eat millet.

Self-sufficient?Do people only need food to live?

Do you want to eat vegetables, wear clothes, watch some TV, do your children want to go to school, do you want to renovate your house, do you want to be treated for a disease? These all cost money!
Are you worried?

That's right, come to Daxia. Come and work in Daxia, and you will earn more in one month than you did in a year after hard work!
You can also bring your wife and children with you, and the children will go directly to the local school.

If you can make enough money, you can also buy a house locally, settle down, and become a Daxia native!

Since then, a large number of Taiheng farmers, just like the Dutch farmers back then, began to work in Daxia. This number is not millions, but hundreds of millions!
Has Taiheng found anything?

Of course they discovered it, but the monks who usually manage the people at the bottom have a low status, and there is no money to be squeezed from the people. These people can be bribed with a small amount of spiritual stones.

As for those with higher status, they usually don’t see farmers in their eyes, not to mention that farmers as a group have always disappeared from the Internet.

How can people who don't exist disappear?
Of course, will the disappearance of hundreds of millions of people lead to a sharp decline in luck and thus affect the practice of monks?
Not really.

Here, Daxia adopted a strategy of substituting one thing for another.The principle is that a person with high cultivation level can provide far more luck than countless ordinary people.

Then, as long as I have 100 million Qi Refining Stage monks entering Taiheng, I can offset the impact of [-] million civilians leaving.

Yang Ning will not be at a loss. One hundred million people in Taiheng are just common people or even slaves, but in Daxia, if education is popularized and their cultivation is improved, they will become an elite population.

Moreover, the development of industrialization is a way to increase luck. Regardless of the impact in the future, at least Taiheng's luck will be on the rise in a short period of time.

It's like a person's life suddenly becomes better, and his food also becomes better.

Never mind that he may suffer from high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high blood lipids in the future, at least he has gone from skinny to healthy in a short period of time.

This is Taiheng's plan. It is not enough for the family's population growth rate to stagnate. The lower-class civilians must also stop.

However, the common people at the bottom have not received education. It is too early to go directly to version T0, so they can only draw on the bottom line and directly rely on the industrialization of Daxia to siphon Taiheng's population over.

In the 39th year of Daxia, Qu Heng went to Daxia and signed the "Daxia Taiheng Cultural Industry Exchange and Mutual Assistance Agreement", which included many aspects such as opening up the gateway, technical assistance, talent support, talent introduction, etc. Its coverage has far exceeded Established the scope of a cultural industry.

Qu Heng's idea is that only if I recruit your talents, how can a descendant of my Taiheng Sect family go to Daxia.

But he didn't expect that what Da Xia wanted was not the children of aristocratic families, but ordinary farmers.

As of the 41st year of the Daxia calendar, within two years, there were 8000 million people, and nearly 4 million people had entered Daxia through personal connections, intermediary introductions, family sales, labor dispatch, smuggling and other channels. Daxia would not reject anyone who came. After a short period of training, the adults will go to work directly, and the minors will be sent to school to receive education. The arrangement is clear.

Although ordinary people do not have a loud voice on the Internet, they still have the ability to write letters and make phone calls to their families. Their lives in Daxia will naturally be spread to their hometowns.

In Taiheng, they are all slaves of aristocratic families. They have no land of their own, no jobs, and no qualifications to practice. Their ancestors have been farmers for generations.

But in Daxia, they became glorious workers, and younger children also had the opportunity to embark on the path of spiritual practice, directly transforming from slaves to human beings!
Such a situation will naturally attract the envy of countless people, which will lead to more people coming to Daxia.

By the end of the 42nd year of the Dalu calendar, the number of immigrants in Taiheng had reached 6.8 million!
Including the self-growth of Daxia and the population born by immigrants, the population of Daxia finally exceeded 43 billion in January of the 1rd year of the Daxia calendar!

In August of the 44th year of the Daxia calendar, the population of Daxia expanded to 8 billion!
It has initially returned to the level of Nanlin.

At that time, Nanlin was only an agricultural country, but now Daxia is an industrial country. Coupled with the fair distribution system, the population that can be supported is far greater than that of the original Nanlin.

According to Deep Blue’s calculations, Daxia can easily support a population of 120 billion while maintaining the current natural ecology.

If some ecology is destroyed, some land is reclaimed, and some high-yielding crops are developed, it will not be a problem to feed 200 billion people.

The wave of unemployment among farmers was followed by a wave of unemployment among workers in the alchemy, weapon refining, talisman painting, and formation industries.

They may work for more than ten days or even a month to make a batch of pills, just a dozen pills.

But a relatively small biotechnology company in Daxia can produce hundreds of thousands of pills per day.

The elixirs here in Daxia are not only produced in large quantities, but also cheap.

Even if the children of aristocratic families are wealthy, they still have to be careful when they have many people to support.

At the same price, I can only buy five copies from you, but I can buy fifty copies here in Daxia. Who do you think I should buy?
The same goes for refining qi, drawing talismans, and forming formations.

The only outcome if you can't compete is bankruptcy.

These people still have some influence in Taiheng Sect. They complained all the way to Qu Heng, hoping that Qu Heng would ban Daxia's elixir equipment and prevent it from flowing into Taiheng.

But in addition to being the head of the Taiheng Sect, Qu Heng is also the head of the Qu family. His own family is also buying Daxia's elixirs. How could he ban them?
Moreover, it has always been a tradition that Tai Heng values ​​human relationships over technology. Jiang Boming’s technology is so bad that no one cares about it in the library. The great inventor Yang Ning was directly killed for going against the family, and the war wizard Tiandao Yi was also killed because he was too powerful. .

Moreover, market economy and fair competition are all right. If you can’t compete with Taiheng, no one can blame you. Look for problems within yourself. Whether you are doing R&D or not, are you being too self-conscious?

After all these years, why haven't you thought about improving the elixir for mass production? How come the people of Daxia discovered it?
What should Taiheng's technical personnel do? Since Taiheng no longer has a place for them to survive, they can only leave!

Going to the All Saints Alliance and the Tianyi Sect are definitely not allowed. This kind of behavior is called betraying the sect.

But it’s no problem to go to Daxia. If the two countries have signed a talent introduction agreement, we can go there through talent introduction.

They have practiced elixirs and weapons all their lives, and have some professional knowledge in them. As long as they can still learn and are willing to study, it is not difficult to find a job in Daxia.

With the collapse of Taiheng's technology industry, a third wave of unemployment followed.

This wave of unemployed people are the shopkeepers, waiters, auctioneers, waiters and other tertiary industry service personnel of various treasure pavilions and elixir shops.

These people originally relied on Taiheng's technology industry for their existence. Now that Taiheng's technology industry no longer exists, they will naturally become unemployed.

Most of these people were born as civilian monks, and their fathers might be the emperor's heir apparent, but their own qualifications were too poor.

Take it one step further, it's unlikely.

It would be embarrassing to go home, and they were reluctant to leave the world of immortality.

In this tangled state of mind, they can only find a job first.

They couldn't do professional work like refining weapons and alchemy, so they could only work as waiters to make ends meet.

But now, this life is shattered.

If it were in the past, what's the big deal? Go home and inherit the throne.

But now, the country outside has been wiped out by the rebels, and they can't go back even if they have a home!
What else can unemployed people do? Burn, kill, loot, and do business without capital.

When you don't have enough to eat, all benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust are all nonsense.

Fortunately, at this time, it was Daxia who extended a helping hand again.

If you don't have a job in Taiheng, go to Daxia. Whether you are practicing cultivation or continuing to work as a waiter, Daxia has a place for you to shine.

Another point worth mentioning is that with the departure of skilled workers, technicians, and tertiary industry personnel, Taiheng’s flower shop service industry has also begun to wither.

After all, if all the workers are gone, who will wash their feet?
Daxia has explicitly banned this industry, but there are always people with great powers who will open a dimly lit foot washing shop in the corner of the city, or disguise it as a hotel, KTV, bar, etc.

Yang Ning knew very well that this industry could not disappear completely, and the security guards in Daxia also understood this truth, so they strongly opposed it and detained them for 15 days.
