"We can rely on animal husbandry ......" Li Jubingdi's voice became quieter and quieter, and now there were more than three hundred jackals, kobolds, and human robber slaves to eat, and it was indeed a bit unreasonable to rely on the vassals to graze.

"Now we are, in addition to animal husbandry. Is there any other way to increase the income of the territory? Zhang Yuan said, Li Jubing lowered his head and shook his head helplessly.

"There are fish and shrimp in the Feimao River, and we can weave some nets and catch fish and shrimp. There are many, many fish in the Flying Hair River. Chief Kuran Walrus, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke, and he pointed to a large pile of dried salted fish in the corner and said, "When the Egyptian Plain enters winter, food will be very scarce, and we witch warriors rely on these fish to survive the winter every year. ”

"Is that okay? Although there are no large forests in our wasteland that produce valuable magical beasts, there are also many trees in the woods near the Feimao River not far from the Gobi! We can cut wood, and we can hunt! Occasionally, you can also go to the southeast Black Forest forest to hunt magical beasts, although the road is a little farther away. Li Jubing also put forward a series of his own opinions.

"Wood can be used to build castles and animal pens, and we have slaves and we don't have to pay for it, so we can build castles completely without spending money." Li Jubing said again.

Even the Tuskar people who were boiling water on the side interjected, and a Tuskal wizard warrior said: "Although the soil quality of the Egyptian Plain is not good, and it is not possible to grow the precious wheat and rice of the human race, sweet potatoes can still grow. Besides, my lord, you have planted a large bread tree, and with a little thought, we will soon be able to eat sweet potatoes and bread. ”

"Stop! You can tell the story, I haven't found a single one that makes money. Zhang Yuan poured a basin of cold water on the people who were happily rushing to speak, and said: "Why are your eyes still on how to fill your stomach?" What I need is a way to make money, so don't worry about filling your stomach. ”

"But you can't just be a robber just to make money!" Li Jubing said dissatisfiedly: "Zhang Yuan, I know that you always want to help me find the Desert Orc Clan to take revenge, but I don't want you to lose your way because of this. ”

"Li Jubing, revenge needs to be talked about later, let's not talk about revenge for you, let me talk about how we should make money." Zhang Yuan said: "In the Great Wasteland, our Flying Leaf is the only outpost of the Night Elf Kingdom. If we were able to protect the orc merchants who came and went, drive out the bandits, and collect the corresponding money, we could get a certain amount of money. ”

"But!" Zhang Yuan said again: "I don't have a very good impression of the orc merchants, and I'll see the situation later." ”

Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said again: "But it is indeed necessary to exterminate the robbers, otherwise we will graze and plant crops, and as long as the robbers make trouble with us every day, we will not be able to do anything." ”

"Many years ago. There used to be a large tribe of Night Elves in the mountains of Mount Hyjal who had moved from afar, only to be relocated because they couldn't stand the endless bandits. Chief Kuran Walrus thought that this lord had spoken well, and he stuck on the point, so he said.

Of course, in fact, this is also the reason why Zhang Yuan was assigned here. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many bandits and bandits in the Great Wasteland, this place would have become the domain of all powerful nobles a long time ago.

Knight, this is an old question for a long time, the mountains of Mount Hyjal are so great that the wasteland across the Flying River occupies half of the plain of the great plains beneath the boundless mountains.

There are so many places for robbers to hide, and the bordering Southeastern Black Forest, the many woods and saline forests along the Feimao River can be used as hiding places when necessary. Such a large area is simply impossible to encircle and suppress with the army, and the wide Feimao River also makes it difficult for the army to bear the logistical burden. Zhang Yuan actually knew these things very well in his heart.

"The population in our territory is very sparse. Moreover, the militia does not even have armor and weapons, in this case, in the early stage, we will not focus on defense. What do you see, Zhang Yuan? Li Jubing stopped his pen and looked up and asked.

"Nope! You're wrong! The best defense is actually offense! Zhang Yuan swept his unkempt hair and said, "Passive defense is not advisable, let's attack the robbers first!" Offense is the best defense. According to our strength, against the bandits, as long as we defeat them one by one, we will not lose. ”

"But it's too much of a cost and a lot of energy. And what about our development and construction? Li Jubing said with a little lack of confidence: "Moreover, the war costs a lot of money, and we don't have money at all." ”

"War is the main theme of our development!" Zhang Yuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said, "Why build?" All I think about is war and destruction! The blood of the Night Elf warriors is belligerent! Grazing and planting sweet potatoes are the work of the vassal clans, and if I let my samurai do these things, hehehe 616161616161 it would be too wasteful! ”

"What does this have to do with being a robber?" Li Jubing asked.

"What am I keeping such slaves for? Do you think I'm really feeding them for nothing? Zhang Yuan said: "These jackals, kobolds, and human bandits are familiar with the environment around the wasteland, whether it is the local gangs of jackals, kobolds, and human bandits, or the orcs, mercenaries, robbers, and military bandits who collude with military businessmen, they all know each other. ”

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "These jackals, kobolds and human robbers will be the first batch of cannon fodder under my command, we will carry them to the battlefield to rob and rob those bandit groups, these bandit groups should be a little bit oily, right?" One by one, the more robbers in the wasteland, the better our business will be, and they will be our inexhaustible treasure! ”

"Wrap up these robbers, and then rob and rob the other robbers?" Li Jubing smiled.

"So, we are also a kind of robber, a kind of robber of robbers. Of course, it can also be said that we are the army of justice! Zhang Yuan said: "Get rid of unnecessary aristocratic status, I can give these slaves the best food, but only if they carry the heads of other robbers." ”

"What if they resist? Or run away? Li Jubing asked. The more people there are, the harder it is to manage, that's for sure. ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "This is simple, there are really too many bandits, let them directly attack the damn orc power principality, don't they can win, just consume a batch and train me to train the most powerful and usable hundred warriors." ”

"Lord Zhang Yuan, I don't want to splash your cold water." Chief Kuran Walrus couldn't help but speak: "But these wasteland bandits are not stupid, I just said that the Night Elf tribe that moved away a long time ago, they also attack as defense, just like you. There were more than 2,000 people in that Night Elf tribe, and they had many powerful mid- and low-level moon sacrifices, and even a lot of terrifying wolves and bear monsters. You know how powerful and tough they are, but the bandits of the wasteland eventually banded together to drive them away. ”

"The Night Elves have annoyed the bandit lords of the wasteland by constantly attacking, and tens of thousands of fierce bandits of the wasteland have united, and the power they have raised is terrifying! There are no stone mountains in this part of the wasteland, so there is no way to quarry stone to build a stone castle, but the wooden fence alone will not be able to withstand the attack of a large-scale bandit army! ”

"Oh?" Zhang Yuan's eyebrows were intertwined and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Although these robbers are just a rabble, there are more ants that can bite elephants to death! The powerful Night Elf tribe was also forced away in front of their might. I took a look at your strength, you don't have a castle and a corner tower now, and the basic military strength is the Snow Monster Warrior and some vassals, but the number of adult warriors among the Snow Monster Warriors is only a few dozen in total, of course, the women, children and old people of the Snow Monster Clan can also be regarded as qualified warriors, but the total number is only a hundred, I don't think your strength can be compared with the Night Elf tribe back then. Chief Kuran Walrus continued, "If you insist on doing so, sooner or later a large number of bandits of the wasteland will become entangled and repeat history." ”
