Chapter 459 - 451: Could She Have Been Trafficked?
On the map of the Talia Alliance, two bright pearls shine in tandem.
Raffi is entirely a city built on trade and profit; goods are stacked like mountains on the docks, and large merchant ships, like steel beasts, are swallowing and spitting out wealth. All sorts of legal or not-so-legal transactions make everyone gain significantly, always offering opportunities for those with dreams of getting rich.
In contrast, Miren is nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the colorful buildings are mesmerizing. It is a famous art center, renowned across the continent for its fine arts and textiles, while its industry mainly focuses on steel and leather. Gold and silver processing and art replicas are also well known.
After wandering around Raffi for about a week, Leon took his wife and daughter to Miren. To be honest, he was quite eager to see that industrial city... The positioning of Watchtower Port is similar to Raffi’s, and the Zhen Dan Kingdom is currently lacking a proper industrial city.
"Industry refers to economic activities based on mechanization, large-scale production, and high-efficiency production methods, involving the processing of raw materials, manufacturing production, and distribution of products. Industry is an essential part of the modern economy and has significant importance for the development of national and global economies..."
"Industry is one of the main driving forces of economic growth. Through industrial production, a country can provide more employment opportunities and create more value and wealth. Industrial development can drive the growth of other related industries, promoting overall economic prosperity..."
"Why do you think Miren can become an industrial city, and what do you think is needed to develop industry?"
"Do you need raw materials to produce goods? Once goods are produced, do you need to sell them? If selling, what is needed? Yes, transportation is required, first to ship them out; water transport is cheaper than land transport. Following that, a somewhat higher transportation cost isn’t a big problem. Without a market, everything else is moot."
As he walked through the streets and alleys of Miren, Leon never forgot to teach Sharon various knowledge and principles, combining both spoon-feeding and heuristic education.
Spoon-feeding education allows students to learn the most knowledge in the shortest time, while heuristic education can activate students’ initiative and enthusiasm in learning, encouraging independent thinking, developing logical reasoning abilities, and cultivating the ability to solve problems independently.
"I find you truly know a lot, but you just don’t take action. Otherwise, our Zhen Dan Kingdom would certainly be much more prosperous and powerful than it is now," Tassera commented while listening in, "You are indeed lazy."
