Allen never expected that just after their quick gathering, in the afternoon of the next day, Bilaire would find Allen, Zhan Rui and others to hold a meeting after the establishment of their 'Ring of Thorns' 's first party.
The real purpose of the party shocked Allen even more, because at this party led by Bilaire, as the host, Bilaire generously injected another huge asset, covering the 5% given previously. As for the income from the Nasir Fortress, Bilaire injected 10% of the income from the Ka'tor Fortress into their group at one time.
Calculated based on the total revenue from the canyon that Bilaire told Allen about, this 10% revenue means that their team can earn more than 100,000 gold coins from the canyon every year.
If the previous income from Nasir Fortress only made Allen and the others feel excited, then this time the capital injected by Bilaire was enough to impress Zhan Rui, Zolf, and the three big guys behind them. Tribal.
The huge benefits of Katoer Canyon are second to none. At the same time, the superior geographical environment of the canyon itself has actually brought many other conveniences. For example, the Ajinaga tribe, which has controlled the choke point, has relied on the canyon over the years to benefit from the past. From the merchants, they obtained many precious magic plants and metals that are difficult to collect from other tribes.
Other tribes want to entrust powerful merchants in the four major civilization systems to collect precious plant materials, metals, props, etc. for them. Most of them ignore them, and occasionally they agree to deliberately raise the value, leaving the major tribes free. Spend a lot of money to get something you desperately need. But the Ajinaga tribe is different. Even if they ask other cooperative companies to collect precious materials and props from the two continents, the other parties will often readily agree, because they also need to have a good relationship with the Ajinaga tribe. Otherwise, as long as the Ajinaga tribe makes things difficult for them at will, it will bring a lot of inconvenience to the caravan.
Unlike other tribes, if a caravan wants to take a detour, there are always one or several suitable options. However, with the Katoer Mountains that separate the east and west of the trade road, even if a large caravan wants to take a detour, it is extremely difficult. , and it requires more time and energy, which is completely worth the loss.
Of course, Allen, Zhan Rui and others will definitely not know that the 10% of the income that their team is about to obtain now actually comes from the original income of the Oak Church and is not owned by the Ajinaga tribe. Therefore, when Bilaire made this surprising decision, in return, Zhan Rui, Zolf and others all recognized Bile's temporary dominance over their calf kick.
Driven by interests, this meeting became more serious. Without the perfunctory before, a few people soon built a rough framework for the current team, stipulating the rights and interests that everyone enjoyed among each other. rights, and obligations, etc. For this reason, several people stayed at Namur Fortress for several more days, and then during intense and serious discussions, they wrote out the results on parchment and signed the names of several representatives at the same time.
They are all powerful people in various tribes. Although two of them are just tribal deputies, their power is enough to reach an agreement with Bilaire and win the approval of their tribal leaders.
Afterwards, several people left happily, and everyone would feel that they had earned a long-term and stable benefit for the tribe. Although according to the proportion, the major tribes may actually receive only tens of thousands of gold coins, but everyone knows the principle of long-lasting water, so there is no need for others to point out.
Allen was also ready to leave, but he was sincerely persuaded by Birrell to stay. After another in-depth exchange, Allen left with a look of excitement on his face.
Allen never thought that Billaire's real purpose of staying here this time was to take the initiative to give him another big gift. His only purpose was to cheer for Billaire in the small team of the Ring of Thorns. , supporting every decision he makes. Of course, these decisions must not cause any conflict of interest or damage to Allen and his tribe.
This gift is a share (1%) of the annual income from the two fortresses controlled by the Ajinaga tribe. Although the share is small, if Allen accepts it, it will be the largest and most stable of the Green Field tribe in the future. a source of income. In the foreseeable future, Allen's tribe is unlikely to have any other benefits in a short period of time that can exceed the current gift.
Faced with such a great gift, how could Allen refuse? Of course, it was impossible for him to refuse. He was originally a vassal of the Ajinaga tribe, but now it is just a name turned into a fact. Allen even hopes that such a thing can If it happens a few more times, he and his tribe will really get rich! !
But at the same time, Allen finally saw how broad-minded and courageous the visionary leaders of the large tribes were. If it were Allen now, he would never be able to easily give away the interests in his hands to an outsider, and the return would be nothing more than some vague support.
After sending Allen away, Billaire could finally breathe a sigh of relief. In the end, this crisis turned into a turning point for his tribe. The planning and planning required made Billaire exhausted. Haggard is not as calm and calm as he appears.
Although Bilaire generously gave away a lot of benefits from the canyon territory, in actuality, not only did their tribe not suffer any losses, but they also redeemed four shares of the profits that were originally divided by Snowmi.
As a 10% profit from bribing several tribes to form a team, Billaire actually took it back from the Oak Church with facts and threats. Billaire never enjoyed it before, but now he doesn't feel any heartache when giving it away. On the contrary, because of this 10% profit, for at least ten years, the leadership of the new team Ring of Thorns has been controlled by Bilaire. Although it may not be able to earn much profit, it can at least deter Snow. mi. It is worthwhile to curb the expansion of the Church of Nature in the northern wilderness.
A duel, and based on the result of the duel, 5 shares of the profits were recovered from Snow Mi. Although the loss was ten tribal warriors who had the opportunity to advance to legend, it is indeed heartbreaking, but think about the difficulty of advancing to legend, Trading ten tribesmen for tens of thousands of gold coins per year is considered a suitable choice.
I just received the five profits, and finally gave one to the bugbear compatriots of the Green Field Tribe in exchange for his support. After some calculations, Bileir considered this to be the most worthwhile investment.
Not to mention Allen's own legendary strength, if he gives this benefit to the other party, there will really be disputes and frictions between the Ajinaga tribe and the Snowmi tribe in the future. As long as they don't fight hard, the legend of Allen will probably compete with Billai. We advance together and retreat together. The so-called friendships and marriages are not so stable. The most stable thing is always interests. These are the summary of Bilaire's life experience.
After the establishment of the Ring of Thorns team, there is actually another drawback, that is, the two lizardman tribes are too closely related, which is not a good thing for the team. However, Bileir urgently needed such a team to deter the aggressive steps of the Snowmi tribe, so he could only hold his nose and endure it. At least relying on the 10% of the benefits he gave away, in a short period of time, the two tribes of Argan and Amansha were more or less still. It will give yourself some face.
And with Allen, his younger brother, in the team, cheering for him and supporting all the decisions he makes, at least he can compete with the lizard people. Coupled with the presence of members of the Desolate Heart and Urok tribes, their small team formed an interesting tripod.
At the same time, Allen, who was speeding on the edge of the Cattor Mountains, was also constantly turning his brain. From what he had seen and heard before, he continued to dig deeper into the inside story, and outlined the original appearance of the whole thing bit by bit. Although he didn't actually pay much in this incident, the only trouble he had was that perhaps he might offend the Snowmi tribe by siding with the Ajinaga tribe, which made Allen originally plan to The plan of both sides to sit on the fence has almost come to nothing.
But compared to the gains, this risk is completely worth mentioning. Anyone with a normal mind will make the right choice like Allen.
After returning to the tribe a few days later, Allen already roughly understood the timing of their appearance at Namur Fortress this time, as well as the general intention behind Bilaire's various generous actions.
"Clan leader, you are so awesome!!"
The first thing Allen did when he returned to the tribe was to find Tony and Camellia and tell them in detail the benefits of this outing. After listening to Allen's statement, Tony and Camellia, the two people in charge of the tribe's public treasury, had deep reverence and admiration in their eyes.
"We have money now, so we can no longer keep the money in the public treasury to grow mold. We still need to make it flow!!"
After Allen witnessed the intrigues between several major tribes this time, his biggest emotion was their generosity and strong foundation. The benefits of hundreds of thousands of gold coins were given away as soon as they were given away, and twenty high-level peak warriors were sacrificed. Just sacrifice, without hesitation or distress at all. At least Allen didn't see many such emotions in the other party's expression.
Looking at his own tribe, the only peers who have advanced to the 15th level of the high-level peak are Pavao and Hua She, who has not returned from the trip. The rest of his peers may not reach this stage in their lifetime.
The new generation is a little better. Kerr has advanced to level 15 a few years ago. Now she is stuck at the threshold of the legendary road and has never been able to find her own path. A few days ago, she came to Allen for advice and asked about Allen's experience when he embarked on the road to legend. However, Allen himself was at a loss about this. How much useful experience could she give? The most she could do was to tell Oscar what he had learned. He told Kerr about his knowledge and some of his own experiences and let her figure it out on her own.
Young people such as Bush, Shusheng, Shisheng, and Barrington may be able to advance to the peak of level 15 before the age of thirty, and then have more than ten years to ponder and find their own path to legend.
But all things considered, the entire tribe now has more than 5,000 tribesmen. Among the adult warriors, the number of warriors who really have a chance to advance to the high-level peak is probably no more than thirty.
After all, the background is still too shallow. The tribesmen suffered too much in the early years. Now that they have lived a comfortable life, their mentality has changed a lot. Many people have lost the fighting spirit to move forward bravely.
"What do you mean, patriarch?"
Camellia asked curiously.
"I'm going to make some reforms to the clan system, so I'm here with you today. I want you, the managers who are familiar with public treasury assets, to help me come up with a feasible plan."
Prior to this, most of the assets and income of the tribe were invested in the management of the tribe. Whether it was purchasing the materials needed by the tribe, or spending huge sums of money to purchase slaves, shelter refugees, etc., all the tribe's own assets were invested in the management of the tribe. Even if the income is not too much, it will be almost consumed.
Allen's arrangement is indeed beneficial to the tribe as a whole, but for the powerful warriors in the tribe, it is actually a bit harsh. The warriors in the tribe each have a heavy burden. Although they don't seem to be as hard-working as the tribesmen in the town who rely on labor to create various resources, most of the value they create has been invested in On the way to pursue higher strength.
Until now, if people in the clan want to learn the knowledge contained in the inheritance crystal, they still need to make more contributions.
Over the years, the tribesmen have been divided according to their strength levels. In addition to the basic few learning opportunities per person per month, if they want to continue to learn the knowledge inherited from the tribe, or seek advice from the instructors arranged by the tribe, they need to pay a certain amount of money. contribution points can be achieved.
The inheritance crystals in the clan are gradually enriched, but similarly, the number of clan members in the clan is also increasing, so until now, the clan has no idea of abolishing the contribution point system.
After all, the contribution point system plays an extremely important role in shaping people's sense of belonging and identity to the tribe.
However, as the life of the clan is getting better and better, the motivation of the clan members to move forward is no longer enough. Since everyone can have a good life without working too hard, then why do they have to ask for trouble and exercise hard, like being selected by Allen now? He was dragged to Mansha West Mountain to undergo inhumane tempering! !
The unambitious and happy-go-lucky character of the wilderness natives has contributed to their current poverty and backwardness. Otherwise, they would not have been driven to the wilderness corridors by the four major civilizations to survive.
Even Allen himself is actually not complacent because of the current achievements of the tribe. The tribe has gradually grown from a small settlement of dozens of people to a medium-sized tribe with more than 5,000 members. For an ordinary tribal leader, this achievement would definitely be the thing he is most proud of in his life.
But when he saw a small confrontation between Snowmi and the Ajinaga tribe, he sacrificed twenty powerful warriors without blinking an eye, and casually gave away benefits worth tens of millions, with such boldness and courage, Everything deeply shocked Allen, a somewhat proud and complacent bugbear.
"You know the material situation in the clan and draw up a list for me, which materials are the most needed and consumed by a family in the clan. Also, what are the people in the clan pursuing now and what kind of life do they enjoy? Please also pay attention to me."
"I'm going to make some adjustments to the clan's hierarchy and increase subsidies for high-level warriors..."
Since the people's fighting spirit is weakening, relying solely on their own prestige and forcing the people to fight will naturally not be able to stop the general trend. Therefore, Allen decided to do what he wanted and use a better life and better privileges to motivate the people. The warriors regain their fading fighting spirit and passion and strive to climb higher mountains.
"But if this is the case, it will consume a lot of resources and money in the clan, right?"
Although Allen only put forward a general framework and there are no specific details yet, looking at Allen's firm eyes and the momentum in his words, both Camellia and Tony can feel that this time Allen's reforms will probably be better than before. The land reform will be more impactful.
"Didn't our compatriots in the east give me a big gift? I can invest all these resources in this reform!!"
Allen finally understood that if he wanted the tribe to make a greater leap, as the leader of the tribe, he needed to be more ambitious and courageous, and he could no longer be as calculating as before. Although Allen thinks that he is generous to his tribe, his generally affluent life has become an obstacle to the tribe's strength.
The style of the wilderness has always been that only the strongest group can enjoy the best treatment. This can drive the warriors in the tribe to continuously work hard, stand out, and climb up on the bones of their predecessors. His kindness to ordinary tribesmen has actually contributed to the laziness and laziness of today's tribal warriors. In this regard, Allen really needs to self-examine.
Of course, now that the tribe has become accustomed to the current life, it is naturally impossible for Allen to return the tribe to its previous state. Then, he can only continue to pay more benefits to stimulate the motivation of the tribesmen.
"oh!!"
Tony is a little disappointed. As a dwarf, he really doesn't have much talent in improving his combat level. Even among his own descendants, there are no such talents for the time being. It seems that this wave of dividends will benefit their family, and even the entire dwarf. The goblin tribe doesn't have much to share.
However, now the leader of the tribe, Allen, is true to his word, and the benefits he is paying are all earned by him. As a tribesman, Tony does not dare to have any objections. He can only obey Allen's order and go back with Camellia to start making plans. Come up with a plan and give it to Patriarch Allen.
After all the instructions were given, Allen sat in his castle and continued to summarize and introspect his past experiences to see if there was anything else he needed to correct.
Not long after, the tribal reform regulations for a new stage were posted and announced, which once again aroused heated discussion among the tribesmen. Behind the heated discussion, there was a group of people with red eyes and pupils, engaged in a fiery round of self-exercise in the square of the clan and at the bottom of the Green Lake.
