Labor shortage is not a problem unique to Snow Moon Territory; almost all Lords in the Kingdom's North Border and the Near East Region are facing the dilemma of insufficient population.
The larger the territory, the greater the labor gap. Even well-established Nobles cannot muster enough workforce.
As of now, the immigration work from the Mountain Domain has come to a complete halt. Inevitably, there is simply no surplus population.
Labor shortages in the Alpha Kingdom are not only due to the insufficient population base but also to wartime factors.
Before Hudson ascended to power, the Kingdom suffered a series of defeats, with cumulative losses of soldiers exceeding one million.
Although no major defeats have occurred since then, war still results in casualties. Even victorious battles incur losses.
Wars have caused substantial losses of the young and strong, leading directly to an imbalance in the Kingdom's population structure.
