Kong Daqian and a group of elves led by Lait were the first to board the airship. Out of responsibility for his people, Lait also planned to use this opportunity to visit this border city of Great Zhou and, while he was at it, confirm the elves' future working and living conditions.
Having made preparations well in advance, they naturally had nothing to fear.
Border cities originally had relatively few production factories. Considering that the Elf Forest, where the Elf race had settled, lay right next door, as well as the plans for the future—
Zhou Xu had simply waved his hand back then and halted nearly seventy percent of the production factories in the city.
The city's air quality and natural environment had rapidly improved. Aside from the efforts of the environmental greening bureau's workers, there was another major reason: daily exhaust emissions had been directly reduced by nearly seventy percent.
Of course, Zhou Xu had not shut down factories blindly.
The factories he halted were basically ones Great Zhou did not need.
The most typical example was the goblins' armaments factories. Zhou Xu had no intention of letting the goblins join the military, so weapons made to goblin dimensions naturally no longer needed to be produced.
Halting them all not only failed to cause them the slightest impact, but even reduced internal pressure and pollution emissions.

Kong Daqian laughed twice at that...
"His Majesty the Elf King has asked me something
