"Now, we lost more than eighty percent of the population, and that leaves us with about twenty thousand people spread throughout the kingdom. And then we have the slaves and the beasts from the labyrinth. This brings us to about thirty thousand. Read the latest on M-VL-emp,yr Now, this is relatively small for a kingdom, so we can't utilize all the land space that we have for keeping people. So what I'd like to do is extend the capital, making it capable of easily holding fifty thousand people. And then we will move all citizens into the capital. We don't need to be so spread out if we are so few in number. To that end, I'll begin to talk about the innovations and remodeling we will be doing. The capital will have a wall, at the very least twenty feet tall, heavily reinforced with magic and high-quality materials. Those materials can be found inside the labyrinths in the kingdom, the mines, and the rest. We will prioritize the safety of everyone first, making sure that they are secure in this new capital. The wall will be the first line of defense for the capital, but that does not mean we will abandon the rest of our lands; we will get to that soon. But housing in the capital comes first. As of now, there is no working person in the kingdom at all. Jobs have been dissolved. And some buildings take up more space than they are worth. Such buildings were erected by rich nobles for no good reason. And we don't need that; they are a waste of space. I know it sounds like too much to tear down every house in the capital, but we will not be tearing all of them. This time Leah raised her hand and spoke. "You made mention of the fact that the minimum wage will be effective for a family of four. Then what of bigger families?" she asked. "Well, I'd like to assume that such families have at least one or two people that are above the age of fourteen, besides the head of the house. And so they should also be able to look for a job that fits them and earn money to help. This offer is also for men and women, as everyone is capable and there's always something anyone can work on," Silva replied. "I understand then, but now, can you tell us about these jobs? It will be very hard to create jobs for thirty thousand people of diverse races," Leah said. "No, it's easier than you think. The range of jobs never ends. We have teachers, caretakers, accountants, hunters, adventurers, painters, builders, magicians, knights, farmers, tamers, and a whole lot more. Not to talk about the fact that we will be entering an age of industrialization and magic. Before you ask me what that is, I'll go ahead to explain. Industrialization is when activities become mechanized. For example, golems—they are products of magical industrialization. So imagine having metal golems where people can enter and carry out heavy jobs without being trained or being mages. This mechanism will enable faster construction and better aid the security of the kingdom," Silva explained. "Is all that even possible?" Mike asked. "It is. It will be a new innovative age in this world. It sounds impossible, but I'm the boy that rose to the level of capturing a kingdom before he turned thirteen. Not to brag, but if I say it's possible, then it definitely is. But to get there, you'll need labor, and that opens jobs up for people. So on the matter of jobs, that's completely handled. Now, before we move further, are there any questions or additions?"
