"Of course there are difficulties, but they are not insurmountable."
In fact, even if Ramani doesn't ask, Xia Duo will find an opportunity to take the initiative to mention this matter. Otherwise, if his assistance is too easy, wouldn't it seem that his assistance is too cheap?
"The Great Xia Territory has been stocking up on winter clothes since the beginning of its development. As the number of Territory citizens increases, the reserve intensity also increases. In addition, we are on the main plane and have already predicted the arrival of winter. My Almost everyone in the community has more than one winter coat.
“Had it not been for the recruitment of more than 200,000 new citizens this time, the inventory alone would have been enough to equip all of Councilor Ramani’s people.
"As for now, I can temporarily borrow a batch of old winter clothes from the original residents. Although they may be a little worn out, they still have the basic function of keeping out the cold.
"Furthermore, there is still some time before winter begins. I can also ask the territory's workshop to speed up production. I also ask Councilor Ramani to ask for help. If the lords from the three sides of Sweetwater still have winter clothes, they can ask for help. I seek assistance."
Xia Duo pays attention to cultivating the skills of his subjects, and with a reasonable division of labor, it is not a big problem to urgently produce a batch of winter clothes, but the production of winter clothes that are enough to keep out the cold requires the use of a large amount of poultry feathers.
In the next period of time, the meat in the territory may be replaced by chickens, ducks and geese, and it may also affect the scale of poultry breeding in the coming year.
However, if it can help ordinary people who have migrated from the Sweet Water Plane, this price is completely acceptable.
As for the heater, Xia Duo did not promise too much. Unlike winter clothes, which can be produced by ordinary people, the heater requires the participation of magic technicians.
Even if Ramani and others doubled the money, it would be difficult for the Tower of Time's current production capacity to meet everyone's needs. As for the heaters, Xia Duo was only prepared to give away part of them, so it was time to advertise.
…
After arranging Lamanni to stay temporarily in the floating city, Sha Duo immediately came to the Linshui Village Government Affairs Office, found him in Leiden's office, and talked about the issue of assistance to the territories of the Three Sweetwater Faces.
“What do you think about foreign aid?”
"I think the Lord has done the right thing. Foreign aid is also a favorable window for our Daxia Territory to demonstrate the superiority of Daxia's order to the outside world. I urge Cade to step up and do this."
"I'm relieved that you're doing the job, but we must also remember that whether it's winter clothes or food, we must first meet the basic needs of our own territory, and only the excess can be included in the list of aid supplies."
"Yes, I understand."
"At a decisive moment, there may be envoys from the lords seeking assistance to the territory. I will let them connect with you, and I will try my best to show them the new order and new atmosphere of the territory when I have the opportunity."
"yes."
…
After leaving Leiden, Shado was not in a hurry to return to the laboratory. Anyway, it was not less than a day or two. Not only did Lamani come over, but also Grian came over.
These two are considered to be potential allies among the three sweetwater councilors scheduled by Shado who are most in tune with him. Like Lamani, Gryen also gave up the territory of the three sweetwater planes and actively embraced the main plane.
In fact, this is also the choice of most of the three-faced councilors. Only a few cling to the meager land of the three-faced Tianshui councilors.
The main reason why Shado truly agreed with and tried to accept Lamani and Green was because of their respective tendencies - to recognize and support the openness and even popularization of magic, and to recognize and support the basic rights of ordinary people.
In other words, this is a lord with a classical style. The lords of the three dimensions of Sweetwater are better than the lords of the main plane in these two aspects.
But they each have their own emphasis. Ramani and Grien are the two closest to Shado. Of course, the others can also be considered potential allies, but they still need further integration.
Even Lord Nese from the main plane can become an ally of Xia Duo as long as he is willing to accept the order of Daxia.
Just like Vader, he is one of Shado's current confirmed allies, but Vader's thinking is closer to elitism, and he values magic itself too much, so much so that he ignores the human factor and falls into the misunderstanding of technicalism.
Shado's attitude towards Vader is to seek common ground first, and then try to influence the other party as much as possible in the contact between the two parties. Now, at least in the foreseeable future, there will be no conflicts that are difficult to resolve.
Perhaps because of Lamanni's greeting, Green also mentioned the winter assistance when he came over. Of course, Shado agreed as before.
As for the three Tianshui councilors who came later, they also mentioned the matter of assistance, but at this time Xia Duo did not agree on the spot, but said that he would try his best to prepare.
This is of course a differential treatment of potential allies.
…
In almost a day, Xia Duo met with most of the congressmen from the three sides of Tianshui. He was somewhat surprised that so many people came, especially some people he had not even invited before.
But it came anyway.
Of course, there are only a few people asking for help, because currently only a handful of lords and councilors have begun to relocate people and build new homes. Most of them will have to wait until next spring, so that they can be solved in one year.
There is no need to worry about the wintering of the people in the territory like Lamanni and Green.
Even if those people have to consider wintering for their people and have a year as a buffer, they can prepare more calmly than a few lords such as Lamani now.
The reason why Lamanni and Gryen are so eager to relocate people and build new homes, Sha Duo has also communicated with them, is mainly because there are too many people in the three dimensions of Sweetwater, more than 7 million people!
You must know that the original population of Netheril in the main plane was only over 10 million, and at least half of the 7 million people in the three Sweetwater planes would have to be relocated, because the carrying capacity of those three planes was close to the limit.
If humans want to survive and reproduce normally, they need a necessary environment. If the space is too small, the fertility rate will decrease. In addition, food also needs a certain amount of excess space to increase the fault tolerance rate. Otherwise, a reduction in production may lead to unbearable disasters.
In the past, the Seven Towers were mainly responsible for this aspect. Although the Seven Towers restricted the connection between the three sweet water planes and the main plane, the internal management of the planes was still OK.
Now that the three planes are independent, each lord will need to be responsible for their own profits and losses in the future. The development of the small planes is limited after all. This is why the vast majority of the three planes councilors have chosen to give up their major territories in the main plane. reason.
Of course, parliamentary collegiality and the unwritten agreement when signing the new covenant are also among the reasons.
It is very important for Ramani and Gerien to move out first so that they can develop first. As long as some basic environment of the territory is built first, they can even recruit more people when others move to the territory. Lead the people.
For ordinary people, it is better to join a territory that has a ready-made foundation in all aspects than to start from scratch in an unfamiliar environment.
It is not unfounded that Leiden recruited more than 200,000 people in the three sweetwater areas at one time. If Chateau was not unwilling to break the tacit understanding and took into account the placement problem, even more could be recruited.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the three sweet water planes have a limited future. Only by returning to the main plane can there be broader development. The difference is just joining the territory of the main plane lord, or following the original lord to open up a new home. (End of chapter)
