For traditional elf couples, they generally only want to have offspring after getting married or meeting a new love. They will not consider having children at other times.
But such traditions usually only apply to the lower class. For upper-class elves, in order to ensure the stability of family inheritance, they usually choose to have more children.
Almost all low-level elves can be traced back to a high-ranking family for thousands of years. This is the current situation of elves.
But Xia Duo doesn't need this situation. He needs more people to complete his plan, and he also wants to see how much impact the long-lived elves will have once they start to explode the population, as a way to deal with the future of the main plane. A reference to the Elf Competition.
As for the demon descendants, we can't actually talk about the future. After the new home is on track, there are only less than a hundred pregnant women. Obviously, it has nothing to do with the future, but the current situation makes them have no desire to have children.
Xia Duo didn't know how much traditional factors accounted for this, and how much the territory itself accounted for, but he knew that the establishment of a new home was almost as important to the elves as getting married or meeting a new love. Even having a child was not worthy of the territory. Various policies to benefit the people?
Thinking of this, Xia Duo immediately turned and left the Government Affairs Council and walked towards the research institute not far away. The elder in charge of people's livelihood was not in the Government Affairs Council just now, but most likely at the research institute.
This is also a common problem among the first ruling advisory group transformed from elders. They have an almost paranoid focus on the bloodline research of the institute. They will go to the institute to check the progress almost whenever they have free time, and even actively participate in it.
After arriving at the institute, after going through the safety procedures, Sha Duo went straight to the bloodline research laboratory where East Doug was located. Several demons in the laboratory were stunned by Sha Duo's sudden arrival. It was obvious that they were not aware of it. Zhizhong, Xia Duo shouldn't be here right now.
"Elder Maosh, come out, I want to talk to you about something."
"Looking for me?"
Maosh was even more confused. Nothing major had happened in the territory recently, and everything was going according to Shado's instructions. Why did he suddenly come to the institute to find him?
However, Sha Duo's performance during this period has been unanimously recognized by the elders. Maosh did not think that Sha Duo would look for trouble, so he greeted East Doug and the others a few times and left the laboratory.
Once outside, Xia Duo didn't go far and went straight to the point, "What does Elder Maosh think of the current population of the tribe?"
"The leader thinks the current population is too small?"
As soon as Sha Duo opened his mouth, Maosh guessed Sha Duo's thoughts. In the past period, Sha Duo had repeatedly mentioned the population issue in almost every important meeting, but all the elders agreed that Sha Duo's ideas were too radical.
"Actually, we have a large population now. Every once in a while, the exploration team will bring back new tribesmen from outside. Leader, you don't need to be too anxious."
"Elder Maosh, you know that's not what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is the fertility problem of those tribesmen. It's understandable that demons are afraid of childbirth because of the bloodline riots when they are born, but what about those pure-blood elves? Why are they afraid of bloodline riots? ?”
"That's not what you're saying. We've just settled down. We have to give them some time to adapt. We can't force them to have children, right?" Elder Maosh also argued with reason.
He was very optimistic about all the ideas proposed by Xia Duo. However, regarding childbirth, it was too exaggerated to have children every 25 years. Not only him, but also other elders were not optimistic about it.
In addition to the resistance to the traditional concept of fertility itself, there is another very important reason, that is, the population ratio of demons and pure-blood elves is currently 1:10, but the problem is that it is difficult for demons to reproduce naturally. It is known that once Xia Duo's reproductive policy is implemented, demon descendants will return to one of the very few groups in the future.
Even if there is a transformation ritual, it is not that easy to get a pure-blooded elf to transform voluntarily. Once forced, the original one will be pushed to the enemy.
"Elder Maosh, the population issue is of vital importance. If nothing else, today's bloodline research is almost only supported by Elder Aos and Eastdog. If more high mages can participate in it, You can definitely go faster!”
Chateau has his own purpose in coming to the projection plane, but his purpose is also highly consistent with the interests of the demon descendants. Both his plan and the development of the demon descendants require the support of a large number of people. He will not give in on this issue. of.
"Elder, both the demonic bloodline and the new magic system are deviant and even blasphemous in the eyes of the upper-class elves. In the future, we will face an entire elven world, perhaps with the addition of Ilfran, but how can we, who have both, be exposed to both? But what if you place all your hopes on others? Only your own strength is fundamental, and if you want to be strong, do you only rely on these less than 10,000 demon descendants?"
Xia Duo explained the importance of population from both internal and external factors. He had mentioned these words before, but several elders still had concerns.
At the moment, Maosh was indeed persuaded by Shado again, but when he thought about the huge disparity between demons and pure bloods, he still shook his head firmly, "I can understand what you said, but have you considered pure-blood elves and pure-blood elves? The proportion of demons?
"Have you ever thought about the consequences of letting go of childbearing? Don't let yourself be overthrown if it doesn't develop by then. This matter needs to be considered again, so you must be cautious."
Of course, this must be done with caution. Xia Duo knew that it would be difficult for him to convince the other party, but he still had to do his best. He had been thinking a lot about this issue recently, or he had been thinking about it from the beginning.
It wasn't until he noticed the research progress and direction of East Doug and his colleagues at the institute some time ago that he really made up his mind. After thinking about the language for a while, he asked Maosh:
"Elder, do you still think you are a member of the Taquesir clan in your heart?"
"Of course, it's just different from the demon elves outside the five races." Maosh said without hesitation.
"Then why do you still care about the distinction between pure blood and demons? As long as the system of this new country remains unchanged, demons will no longer suffer the prejudice and discrimination that were distorted and shaped by the upper elves before. Don't you have confidence in this new country? ?”
Xia Duo then stated his feasible solution to the problem of pure blood and demon descendants, "The current research on demon bloodline actually focuses more on control. What if it focuses more on elimination? This is theoretically easier to achieve than control.
"As long as the demon blood can be eliminated, there will no longer be any difference between demons and pure blood. Every citizen in this new country can freely choose his own blood. If you want to live longer, choose pure blood. If you want to challenge the unknown, choose to become a demon.
"As long as this step is successful, each of the current demons will first give birth to their own children by removing the demon blood, and then choose whether to continue to be demons, and other pure-blood elves can also feel free to experience the feeling of becoming demons.
"Elder Maosh, what do you think?"
