Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 242 Population Siphon· Extreme Eternal 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 what Qu Heng said is correct, 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 Immortal Cultivation World, 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 Immortal Cultivation World?

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 Extreme Eternal is concerned, doing nothing is best for Extreme Eternal.

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 Extreme Eternal 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.

If you can make money while lying down, who wouldn't want to do it? Naturally, Daxia's chain cinemas have also opened in Extreme Eternal 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 the distribution system of Extreme Eternal. 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, and their only value is to provide faith and luck.

Extreme Eternal also has no commercial activities. 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.

Extreme Eternal is not available in many industries, but it’s not that there is no need for it, it’s that no one has thought of this section 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 Body Realm to the elixirs of the Qi Refining Stage, every immortal cultivator needs them.

Spirit Weapon, Law Weapon, Treasure Weapon.

Facing the wave of industrialization, Extreme Eternal's weapon refining and alchemy 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 Extreme Eternal 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 farming industry with the Immortal Law spell cheat, Extreme Eternal cannot 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 Extreme Eternal 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? Does Daoist 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 Extreme Eternal farmers, just like the Dutch farmers back then, have begun to work in Daxia. This number is not millions, but hundreds of millions!

Has Extreme Eternal been discovered?

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 cause luck to plummet and affect the monks' practice?

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 one million Qi Refining Stage monks entering Extreme Eternal, I can offset the impact of 100 million civilians leaving.

Yang Ning will not be at a loss. One hundred million people are just common people or even slaves in Extreme Eternal, but in Daxia, if education is popularized and their cultivation level 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 Extreme Eternal's luck will be booming in the short term.

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 Extreme Eternal's plan. It's not enough for the aristocratic family's population growth 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 use the industrialization of Daxia to siphon the population of Extreme Eternal.

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

Qu Heng's idea is that only for me to recruit your talents, how can a descendant of my Extreme Eternal 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 80 million people, and nearly 400 million people had entered Daxia through personal connections, intermediary introductions, family sales, labor dispatch, smuggling and other channels. Daxia did not reject anyone who came. Work and accommodation are arranged upon arrival. Adults go to work directly after a short training, and minors are sent to school for education. The arrangements are made clearly.

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 Extreme Eternal, they are all slaves of aristocratic families. They have no land of their own, no job, 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 Dalu calendar, the number of Extreme Eternal immigrants had reached 680 million!

Including the self-growth of Daxia and the population born by immigrants, the population of Daxia finally exceeded 3.5 billion in January of the 43rd year of the Daxia calendar!

In August of the 44th year of the Daxia calendar, the population of Daxia expanded to 4 billion!

It has initially returned to the level of South Forest.

Back then, South Forest was just an agricultural country, but now Daxia is an industrial country. Coupled with a fair distribution system, the population it can support is far greater than the original South Forest.

According to Deep Blue’s calculations, Daxia can easily support a population of 12 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 20 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 is true for Qi Refining, drawing symbols, and formations.

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

These people still have some influence in Extreme Eternal 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 Extreme Eternal.

But in addition to being the head of Extreme Eternal Sect, Qu Heng is also the head of the Qu family. His own family is also buying Daxia's elixirs. How can he ban them?

Moreover, Extreme Eternal has always valued human relations over technology. This is a long-standing tradition. 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 aristocratic family. The war wizard Tiandao Yi was also killed because he was too powerful. .

Moreover, market economy, fair competition, okay, you can’t compete with Extreme Eternal, who is to blame? Look for problems within yourself, whether you are engaged in research and development, are you too selfish?

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 the technical personnel of Extreme Eternal do? Since Extreme Eternal 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.

As the Extreme Eternal technology industry collapsed, 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 Precious Treasure Pavilion and elixir shops.

These people depended on the existence of Extreme Eternal's technology industry. Now that Extreme Eternal'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 too embarrassing to go home, and they couldn't bear to leave Immortal Cultivation World.

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 at Extreme Eternal, 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, Extreme Eternal'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 Divine Ability 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 knows very well that this industry cannot disappear completely. The security guards in Daxia also understand this truth, so they strongly oppose it and detain him for 15 days.
