According to Malthus’s “Principles of Population”: population increases in geometric progression, means of subsistence increase in arithmetic progression, population growth must exceed the growth of means of subsistence, overpopulation and food scarcity are inevitable.

Because the royal family of Alabastan has always practiced benevolent government and has never had war in its territory for nearly two hundred years, the population of Arbastan has grown very fast, and the population is now as high as 26 million. This should be a good thing, but because Albastan is a resource-poor country with very little arable land, it is difficult for Alabastan to support such a large population at the current level of productivity and technology.

Therefore, in recent years, this usually peaceful and quiet country has also experienced several turmoil, of course, and of course, they were successfully quelled by the royal army. However, the number of poor people who cannot sustain themselves has been increasing, and in the future, if the problem of food and clothing is not solved, I am afraid that a major turmoil will inevitably occur.

Having said all this, but these have nothing to do with Zhao Wushi. All he cared about was this “meeting” with the Navy.

The port city of Alabastan, rape flower.

“It’s really exotic.” Wu Shi said interestingly that the surrounding residents are wearing that kind of wide clothes, which can not only shade the sun and sun, but also easily dissipate heat. Outsiders, on the other hand, wear clothes that are completely different from the residents, so they can distinguish between outsiders and locals at a glance.

As far as the eye can see the rolling sand dunes in the distance, under the strong sunlight, there is a feeling of a bit of heavy imminent separation.

“Young Master, let’s go to this shop and take a rest.” Kurapika took off his blue-bottomed cloak before disembarking, and the long white sleeves he wore were replaced with short white sleeves, needless to say, the weather here is quite hot, even on the seashore. Even the oncoming wind on the streets now carries a certain amount of heat, and this season is the hottest time in Alabastan.

“Agreed.” Monet was on the side, because he was the ability of snow and snow fruit, even in the hot environment, Monet was refreshed. Originally, as long as Monet put some air conditioning on the side, the group would immediately cool down, but Kura and Chipu are both strong-willed people, this bit of heat is not a problem at all, as for Zhao Wushi, his cell fruit itself can regulate body temperature, and even no need to sweat and dissipate heat, so it is also easy to walk all the way.

“Well, let’s do this one.” Along the way, this store looks a little classy. Wu Shirt took Kura, Chi Pupil, and Monet into the shop with a rather grand façade.

Although this kind of shop also serves alcohol, it is not a bar, and it should be regarded as a high-end small hotel strictly speaking. Although the decoration is not as good as those high-end restaurants and hotels in the former Kingdom of Burgundy, it is still passable, and it is definitely a top dining club in the coastal city of rape flowers, which is not rich and developed.

“Welcome, guest!” The delicate wooden sliding door had just been pushed open without a shirt, and a girl only fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in local clothes but clearly identifiable as a waiter, hurried to greet her.

Although he looks only fifteen or six years old, he can work in a small hotel with a mixture of fish and dragons, and he has been exposed to outsiders every day, and over time he has developed a pair of eyes for people.

When the little girl saw the clothes of the four shirts dressed, with a relaxed expression on her face, she immediately included Zhao Wushi, who was close in age, into the ranks of rich sons.

“Have a private room?” Akatomi asked.

“Yes, do you want first-class or second-class?” The girl folded her hands together and asked with a low eyebrow.

“For the best.” Chi Pupil took out a large stack of Baileys of the largest denomination from the bag he was carrying, and now there was too much money on the ship, not to spend it in vain, “And the best food here is served.” The rest of the money is given to you as a tip. ”

“Yes!” The girl accepted the money, knowing that she met someone with a lot of money today, “Please follow me, this private room inside is the coolest.” ”

“Hey, big brother, look at that person.” A young man drinking at a table not far away whispered to another burly middle-aged man who was obviously the backbone of the main heart, “It’s a sea thief.” ”

“What did you say?” The middle-aged man who drank had a conspicuous and hideous scar on his face, and his chin was full of black messy beard, and he glanced at his little brother’s eyes, “Such a handsome little ghost, haha, with a picture…”

“Big brother~!” The little brother quickly covered his mouth, he knew the virtue of his eldest brother, and he would definitely say that he had a biaozi face or something like that.

“What for?” Although he complained about his little brother’s actions, he also vigilantly lowered the volume.

“That should be Zhao Wushi, the pirate supernova from the South China Sea.” The little brother explained in a low voice.

The eldest brother swallowed his saliva fiercely, glad that the younger brother covered his mouth just now, “I know, it’s that pirate ‘Demon Lord’ Zhao Wuxi who offered a bounty of 320 million Bailey, right?” ”

“That’s right.” The younger brother nodded, “Although he is walking with us, this guy is simply a madman, and if one is unhappy, he is likely to kill us on the spot.” ”

“Hmm.” The eldest brother nodded fiercely, “Let’s leave quickly after drinking.” ”

The shirt who has strong hearing and does not speak naturally heard it, but his current state of mind is naturally not interested in scheming with a few little pirates.

“These lamb rouds and skewers are all lambs that are two weeks old, without smell,” the waitress girl introduced very politely, “and this is the best delicacy of Alabastan, the bird rouge dish of deceptive birds, which haunt deserts or rocky grounds, pretends to be injured to deceive travelers of sympathy, and then steals their luggage.” It’s funny, guests, but ah, this bird is extremely delicious…”

After sending away the waiter, Monet activated the ability of snow fruit to release a large amount of air conditioning and turn the huge first-class private room into an air-conditioned room.

Looking at the table full of mountain and sea delicacies, pu liquor, and buckets of ice cubes used to cool down, Wuxi still couldn’t help but sigh at the benefits of money. Nearly thirty dishes are laid out on the table, using the best local ingredients from Alabastan. In this way, it is probably the income of a well-off family in Alabastan for most of the year.

Suddenly thought of something, Wuxi took out the phone worm used to contact the Warring States before, now it is meal time, or to disturb the Warring States Marshal who worries about the country and the people, and takes care of all the opportunities.
