Chapter 45 Population
What Dane told Tommy about those slave girls was indeed what he really thought. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoHe's far from a good man, and certainly can't do the stupid thing of buying a bunch of slaves and giving them the status of a free man. The most fundamental reason is that these female slaves are more valuable to Dane and his primitive island of Komya after they become freedmen.
Perhaps, others will not be able to understand his thoughts for the time being, but he firmly believes that his choice is not wrong. In the future, he will slowly introduce more people to the island of Komya. In the early days, when Komyrja was still a barren land, it was almost impossible to attract ordinary immigrants. Increasing the population through the slave trade was basically the only and best option.
Population is the first element in the construction of Komya. Without a population, with one or two hundred mercenaries, Cormier would always be a mercenary base, and could not become a paradise that could bring him profit and power, as Dane wished.
However, there is a flaw in his population policy: that is, he needs to invest a lot of money to buy slaves. And now he doesn't have much money in his hands.
After spending this thousand gold coins, buying more than 200 slaves and the slave ship called Diego, and counting the money spent by the Changfan to go back and forth from the mainland twice and buy back a lot of supplies, the gold coins in Dane's hand now are only about 2,000.
Two thousand gold coins, according to the price of the transaction, he was able to buy two boatloads of slaves if he died. What's more, he also has to build the elven territory of Orinedu, which is centered on the Tree of Life, and when the rare resources of wood, ore, crystal, mercury, gems, and sulfur are almost all sold out, the money will never be enough.
At first, Dane was anxious about it, but now, he seems to have found a way to solve it. The key to this, of course, was the six cars of Black Crystal that he snatched back when he was adventuring in the underground world the week before.
According to the estimate given by Faro, if all of these corrupted black crystals can be purified, the total value of more than twenty boxes of black crystals in six carts may be more than five thousand gold coins!
Such a high price almost made Dane's eyes red after hearing the news! This robbery is still a job with a very bright future, if he can find a cheap way to purify the black crystal, he will go to the underground world from time to time to fight the autumn wind, and rob one or two faceless caravans casually, then he will have no worries about food and clothing!
Therefore, the most important thing in front of him at the moment was to quickly build the elven temple that could provide him with a way to purify Sombra, according to Faro. It doesn't matter if you believe in the fuck or not, gold coins are the real faith!
With this in mind, Dane rushed back to Orinedu almost non-stop.
Today's Orinadus is a completely different change from when the Tree of Life was first born. Although, the buildings built through "Heart of Dynasty" are only three, and the scale of the territory is far from being formed, but in the past month of the Divine Guide Tree Tower, under the continuous recruitment, the elven population of Orinedu has reached the scale of forty or fifty people.
A large number of trees, under the leadership of Faro and with the joint efforts of dozens of elves, have taken shape in the transformed land around Orinedu. This grove, which has covered an area of more than 50 hectares, can almost be said to be the only piece of green on the black and yellow deserted island of Komya.
Under the huge vitality brought by the tree of life, it is a miracle that these more than 50 hectares of dense forests have grown from nothing in just one month.
Entering the woodland, Dane walked for a short time, and saw that not far away, Faro and his people were still trying to expand the area of the forest.
Faro saw him too, and walked over from afar, greeting him.
"The woodland is doing well." Dane was quite positive about FarΓ₯'s work.
"Thanks to the blessing of Orinedu, the tree is planted, and it only needs to be spawned by a simple druid spell, plus the gift of the tree of life, it often takes less than a day or two to take root and sprout, and can maintain a rapid growth period of one or two weeks. At the end of the growing season, an old tree that is more than 10 years old will appear. β
This is undoubtedly a miracle. Ten years old tree, ten days to grow, isn't this a miracle? But Dane was not surprised at all, nor was he shocked, Orinen had not shocked Dane once or twice, not to mention, he had seen with his own eyes how this tree of life broke through the ground from a seed and turned into a real towering tree in a few breaths. After witnessing that scene, Dane felt that no matter what surprises the Tree of Life brought him, he would never be shocked again: was there anything more shocking than the Tree of Life itself?
"However, there are still some problems." "There is a certain scope for the transformation of the land in Orinedu, and the closer you are to Orinedus, the stronger the vitality exuded by the Tree of Life, and the further you go, the more it will fail. I estimate that our forests will end after another two or three hundred meters of expansion. β
"The solution?" Dane asked.
"Moon Well." Fallo replied.
"Let's get back to it." Dane pouted to end the topic.
In this regard, Faro felt quite helpless. He said, "The development of Orinedu must be coordinated by a sufficient number of moon wells, otherwise our forests will not be able to continue to expand, and we will not be able to ...... many elven industries."
"I know, I know......" Dane interrupted him, "do you think I don't want to build enough moon wells?" However, you also have to understand that all construction requires resources, but for now, our resources will never be enough. I have to put my limited resources where they matter most. β
"But...... The Moon Well is very important! Fallo continued to persuade.
"I understand." "I want you to promise that after this difficult period has passed, I will build the moon well you need as soon as this difficult period has passed." β
"Well, then don't forget your promise."
"Uh-huh...... I promise. That's all Dane can say.
