"Very good." Gavin said with appreciation, "This is a full use of wilderness resources. This matter can be used to benefit the citizens, and municipal manpower will not be organized for harvesting.
As long as a collection point is set up, those citizens who have free time will naturally harvest it, which will become their source of additional wealth and stimulate their enthusiasm for work. "
"This method is simple and trouble-free." Karl put forward a new suggestion, "If possible, we can extend this business to those monster tribes and use the excess catch to exchange for Stark bushes from them. and green grass, these two jobs are unskilled manual labor, even those goblins can do it.
Once they get a taste of it, they will plant stark shrubs and grasses in the wilderness, which is a disguised form of making them available to us. "
"This approach is a double-edged sword. Although it can allow those monster tribes to be used by us, it also gives them the opportunity to grow stronger."
Gavin thought about it for a while and said, "You can do it selectively. For example, you can cooperate with the weak goblin tribes. The hobgoblin tribe can also do it. However, monster tribes with evil natures such as orcs and gnolls can only suppress them and cannot give them anything." Opportunities to build strength.
Another thing that needs attention is that we must protect the safety of our citizens. Once there is a situation where monster tribes compete for profit and conflict with our citizens, we must unconditionally stand on the side of our citizens. "
"This is inevitable. When selecting partners for support and cooperation, we will be cautious and try our best to choose tribes in remote areas far away from the city of faith. I have also learned the strategic thinking of close attack and distant friendship." Karl responded with a smile.
"You continue to introduce."
"The process of imitating the luminous canal is a little more complicated. We used the water and soil in our goblin wilderness to copy the original canal in Nimir Village, but it still doesn't glow.
In desperation, our researchers could only transport soil, water, explosive crayfish and electric eels from Nimir Village, and conducted experiments using the elimination method. Finally, they found that the problem lay in the soil quality.
After special comparison, it was found that the soil of Nimir Village contains a large amount of ruby powder. After blending a certain proportion of ruby powder into our own soil, the same effect as the soil of Nimir Village will immediately appear.
This research discovery also brings bad news. The glowing water channel is not completely consumed. If a large amount of glowing water is produced, the ruby powder in the soil will continue to be consumed. When it is exhausted, it can no longer be produced. Glowing water. "
"In this way, the luminous aqueduct is useless and needs to be remade?" Gavin thought to himself, there is no free lunch in the world, it turns out there is a pit waiting here.
"It doesn't need to be recreated, but if you want to create luminous water again, you must blend ruby powder into the water channel."
"Have you ever calculated how much ruby powder it costs to make a luminous water lamp?"
"After calculation, if you want to make a water lamp with the same brightness as an immortal torch, you will need at least five gold coins worth of ruby powder. The rest will depend on the size of the water lamp and the water it needs to hold."
"Five gold coins are only one-tenth of the number of rubies required by the Eternal Bright Flame. It is not abnormal. At least compared to the Eternal Bright Flame, it still has a huge price advantage."
Gavin smiled and said, "This is not entirely bad news. It is better to know now than to wait until we sell the luminous canals in Nimir Village so cheaply that they no longer light up. This is all included in the production cost." .
Before this trade secret is exposed and ruby prices begin to rise on a large scale, we will try our best to absorb the low-priced rubies on the market to ensure the price advantage of our luminous water lamps. "
"If it's ruby, the lord will have a better choice." The Lord of Sanoba interjected.
"What's a better choice? Maybe you know a ruby mine?" Gavin said jokingly.
"Lord, you really guessed it right. Sir, do you remember that I once stayed in a place called Old Ax Village, and the associated mine of that iron mine was ruby."
Shanoba nodded seriously and said, "It's just that this mine is located in the west of the rocky land, relatively close to the goblin wilderness. Therefore, it was difficult to transport the iron ore that was produced in the past, and it was gradually abandoned.
But this disadvantage has now become an advantage. Whether it is iron ore or rubies, they can be supplied directly to the City of Faith. There are coal mines in the rocky areas. As long as they can be found, iron and steel can be made on the spot. "
"Our road of conquerors has really revitalized a lot of things." Gavin said enthusiastically, "Okay, I have written down the specific situation. We will talk about it in detail later when we talk about rock land development."
"good."
"When it comes to the production and sales of luminous water lanterns, don't do it on your own. You must communicate more with Ms. Gauser in Nimir Village. She has advantages in sales that you don't have.
For a short period of time, the luminous water lamps were mainly sold to big cities such as Susar, Waterdeep, Baldur's Gate, and Simon City. After the high-end market was saturated, they slowly lowered the price and entered the middle and low-end markets.
Money is mainly made in the high-end market. When we reach the mid- to low-end market, we will focus on benefiting the people. Value will be created through bio-cement produced by cultivating crayfish. "
Since he holds part of the power belonging to the gods in his hands, Gavin's current thinking mode is also to intervene between mortals and gods.
Of course he needs money, no amount is too much.
But sometimes, it is not the first priority, but the underlying belief. When the time is right, the former needs to give way to the latter.
Therefore, sometimes his way of thinking feels incredible.
This was the case when he was madly throwing money at people in Nimir Village.
He was not simply showing off his wealth, but was planning to use this village as an example. If Gavin made this village extremely rich, everyone would be rich.
It is easier to find people to cooperate with new projects in the future. This is only one aspect. When you are really ready to enter the priesthood of trade, money and wealth, this can be used to boast and resonate with the law.
Just like how Gavin praised Ms. Strategy in the Battle of God Ascension.
"Understand, Ms. Gauser participated in the whole process of our research and provided a lot of suggestions and help. Research and production are mainly left to us, while she devotes most of her energy to promotion and market research. Strive to create products that are more appealing to buyers.”
Although glass water lamps are a brand new product, their management and management concepts are common to other products, and they have a relatively mature operating model.
"Very good, I'm just waiting for the good news about your booming sales." Gavin was most concerned about the new building materials, "Where's the biocement?"
“Through experiments, it was found that when the viscous substance produced by the shelling of exploded crayfish is combined with a certain proportion of sand, the hardness of the solidified material formed is very impressive, and the tolerance to high temperatures and cold is quite high.
Houses built with it as a masonry adhesive are far behind those built with stone shaping.
However, it has the possibility of large-scale popularization and does not require the cooperation of so many spellcasters.
The vitality of the explosive crayfish is very tenacious. Not only can it survive in good waters, but also in smelly ditches and sewers. As long as there is enough food source, they can take root here.
A lot of domestic waste, such as food scraps, can be handed over to them for disposal.
Our druids are cultivating larger Crayfish for large-scale farming. "
There was excitement in Carl's expression that could not be concealed, "This unique building material is our biggest interest in the future, and the demand will far exceed that of glass water lamps and fish catches.
The current output is small and can only be used for personal use. When the output increases in the future, it can be sold.
This kind of thing is also an artifact for controlling swamps. Mix it with the swamp and add a certain proportion of sand to solidify it.
Although we cannot turn all swamps into fertile farmland, we can inhibit its expansion to a certain extent, turn some places into our fish ponds in the swamps, and protect the dry land in the swamps. "
It is always easier to use than to develop.
Just like the dragon's breath flutter bomb, just by taking out the bio-cement, Karl and the others immediately found several uses for this brand-new material.
"You can try to use this material to mix mud and sand to make hollow, lightweight masonry. It is quite advantageous to build houses in swamps. Those black-scaled lizard people will have a lot of demand, regardless of their hay houses. It is extremely unsatisfactory in terms of cold protection and fire protection." Gavin contributed the concept of making hollow bricks.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the four major necessities.
It's just that the black-scaled lizard people are special and have relatively low requirements for food and clothing, so we can only start with housing and transportation.
There are already boats on the bank, and we will start with bio-cement.
Although they can also raise their own explosive crayfish, they lack both construction skills and a large amount of sand and soil.
As long as there is need, the wealth in their hands can be squeezed out. This is more civilized and more effective than simple robbery. If the pockets are clean, Gavin must be grateful.
"Cement bricks for all things, we have a new industry." Karl directly wrote it down in his meeting notebook.
Gavin, who already has a good understanding of the situation in the City of Faith, concluded: “The main goal of the City of Faith in recent times is to develop businesses around two new industrial chains, develop commerce on a large scale, and take the opportunity to attract more immigrants.
They don’t have to be permanent residents, but migrant workers are also welcome, as long as they can accept our employment, work in our city, and create value for us. "
"What the Lord said is very reasonable. As long as we take appropriate measures, these migrant populations will gradually become permanent residents." Karl agreed.
"By the way, do you have any difficulties that you need my help to solve?"
"Originally there was one, but the Lord of Sanoba has just given a solution."
"You mean the iron mine in Old Ax Village?"
"Yes, the City of Faith needs a stable source of steel."
"Since the topic has turned back to Rockland again, let's talk about the last and most important topic today, the development of Rockland, how to create greater value here, take the Baron of Rockland into our hands, and take all our territories Completely connect, there is no clear agenda, everyone can speak freely, and we will finally take the essence and remove the dross."
"Needless to say, of course we must use our advantage to the greatest extent possible to gather the kobolds. The rocky land is the remnant of the Stormhorn Mountains. The number of kobolds here is far more than imagined, especially in the East Stormhorn Mountains. As long as there are enough of these little things, they can also create miracles.
As long as we have a sufficient number of kobolds, we can bloom everywhere in the rocky land, not only iron ore, but also coal mines and copper mines. There are a large number of mineral veins in the rocky land. "
“Mining is indeed the core industry of Yandi, but I think the first priority is to rebuild the high road. With the current appearance of this road, even if the minerals are mined, there is no way to transport them out on a large scale.
Once the high road is restructured, it only needs to place a super giant road statue in the direction of Dragon Oak, which will radiate and affect at least one third of the rocky land. "
"Road construction is imperative, but the original road construction team is no longer suitable. A new mountain road construction team must be formed. In this aspect, the kobolds still have the advantage. In some relatively flat areas, we can use trembling Vibration bombs are used for blasting. In some more dangerous areas, I think tunnels can be considered."
"Speaking of tunnels, can we think of ways to control some magical creatures that have advantages in this regard, such as ground-burrowing insects, such as purple insects, which are absolutely powerful in digging tunnels? I heard that many drow elves control purple insects through magic. There are also legends about gray dwarves controlling purple worms to assist in mining."
"Groundworms are easy to deal with. They are well-known as a scourge of agriculture and forestry. They can often be seen around farms and forests. Many farmers even pool money to hire mercenaries to clean them up. As long as they stay, it is not difficult. Upon discovering their traces, those extraordinary druids can turn them into their own animal companions, depending on whether they are willing to do so.
Purple worms are difficult to deal with. They rarely appear on the ground and mainly move around in the dark areas. Even if they are found, how to control them is a big problem. That is the secret of the drow elves. "
"Speaking of the Dark Territory, we really need to come into contact next. We must go deep into the Colossus City. The mines in the Old Ax Village lead to unknown areas. I believe there will definitely be many such areas in the rocky land. Maybe in When you explore these places, you will gain something. When you encounter them, you will find a way, and everything will be over. It is best to prepare the corresponding control methods in advance."
"Anyway, I need to find a way to control cloud rays, so leave this matter to me. If you look at many disaster monsters from another direction, they may still be useful, not only diggers and purple worms, We will have to pay more attention in the future to observe and explore the potential of other monsters in this regard, so that those monsters that cause trouble can become tools for the benefit of mankind."
"We cannot completely focus on the kobolds and thus ignore the human towns and gathering points in the Rockland. Although there are not many such existences, one by one, they are existences that cannot be ignored. After all, they can be among the monsters. Standing in the jungle world is the best proof of strength."
"Oh? How much do you know about them?"
"There are three main ones I know of. One is called Skull Rock Town. It is a military town that guards the west gate of Rockland. The population here does not exceed five thousand, but more than half of them are Purple Dragon Knights, all of whom have five An elite with a professional level or above, they are mainly responsible for cleaning up the western section of the Rockland High Road and monitoring the monster community in the goblin wilderness.
Another town is called Gregant, located in the middle of the Rockland. This town is named after the Gregant family who founded it. In fact, this family has also been working hard to clear the Rockland and obtain the reward of the Baron of the Rockland. They are in the central part of the Rockland. The influence is great. This town is famous for producing sharpshooters. Even a ten-year-old child can shoot a rabbit with a bow. If you want to develop rocky land, they cannot be avoided, and they are not easy to deal with.
The last one is called Horned Shield Fortress. The reason why this place is famous is not because of its powerful force, but because it is an out-and-out city of craftsmen, with the best brasssmiths, locksmiths, and glass blowers in the entire Rock. There are craftsmen, glass cutters, chainmailers and weaponsmiths, but this place is also known as a gathering place for lunatics, because normal people will not open their shops in an inaccessible place.
However, there are still some people who come here because they have magic-killing arrows and beholder-attacking arrows. The former can make the caster hit by the arrow temporarily lose the ability to cast spells, while the latter will have the effect of beholder rays. Both arrows are extremely expensive. They were very expensive, each one worth tens of thousands of gold, and they were reluctant to sell them because the method of making the two types of arrows had been lost, so they sold one less than the other. "
"Skull Rock Town is easy to handle. This rock gambling is authorized by the royal family of the Kingdom of Cormyr. No matter how absurd and unbelievable the order is, those Purple Dragon Knights will faithfully execute it. Even if they don't execute our order, as long as we don't If they harm the interests of the Kingdom of Cormyr, they will not cause any hindrance to our actions here, and may even become a support.
The Horned Shield Fortress is also easy to handle. These extreme craftsmen are often relatively pure in temperament. As long as they find the right direction, it will be very easy to impress them. I'm afraid it is not an accident that so many craftsmen from all walks of life are concentrated here. It is this place that is unique and attracts them.
What they are specifically needs to be seen in the past to determine. If we can reach a cooperation agreement with them, or invite them to the City of Faith, even a part of them will be very beneficial to our business layout.
The most troublesome thing is Gregant Town. After all, our development of rock fields has the same purpose, and there is a natural conflict between the two parties. The specific situation will be determined after visiting them.
Before the army of conquerors officially sets foot on the rocky ground, I will take some of the elite troops to walk through it first, clearing away various obstacles along the way, and actually surveying the road to pave the way for rebuilding the high road. "
"This is the best. After all, the next step will mainly be solved through negotiation. Negotiating in advance and waiting until the army has passed before negotiating are completely different in nature."
Amid everyone's chatter, Yandi's development plan was pieced together and then summarized.
