Chapter Eighty-Four: Hiko's Plan for the Development of Civilization

There were more than 12,000 slaves gathered here by the Nords, of whom about 3,000 were minors, and there were less than 10,000 adult male and female slaves. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info and in the end, only a few were recognized by the Nords, more than 4,700.

In other words, only more than 4,700 adult slaves, as well as more than 3,000 children, could become the subjects of Hiko's plan. And the rest will be abandoned.

There is something bloody about this abandonment, after all, the Nords rarely have any sympathy for the weak and unmotivated, and the opportunism of some people will obviously disgust the Nords. So they inevitably went so hard that they killed hundreds of slaves.

This is actually a very normal thing in this world, but Hiko still can't bear it. But if you can't bear it, you can only endure it. After all, he was a Nord, a member of this huge collective. His compassion could not have overflowed to any of the poor fellows he met.

What's more, these poor guys still have a lot to hate.

So, in the end, Hiko no longer cares about those guys who are destined to be eliminated. In fact, the old shaman wouldn't let him come into contact with these guys anymore. He immediately ordered a group of Nord warriors to take over the Eliminators, and then made them disappear above Arest in the fastest way possible.

They may still be alive, they may be dead. But that has nothing to do with Hiko, that's what the old shaman is for. All he wanted now was for Hiko to focus on the problem at hand, on the plan he had proposed.

The personnel are already in place, the money and materials are in place, and all that remains is Yan's arrangement. On this issue, the old shaman only trusts Hiko, and also thinks that only Hiko can make the best arrangements. So he did not hesitate to use cruel means to directly contribute to everything Yan needed.

The old shaman was so hard-working, Yan naturally couldn't let him down. So he immediately spread out a map of the Arestes' coast and spoke to the old shaman and some other talkers.

"Teacher Lu, and the elders. Look, here's a map of the Arest Coast, and that's where we are now. And my plan is like this. ”

As he said this, Hiko started his hand and drew a fan shape that was the size of two towns along the mountains around Beifeng Town, relying on Beifeng Town, which was already a certain size.

"This is where our plan begins. We've looked at it before, and it's probably the most suitable farmland in the entire Arestes. Fertile land, with geothermal water sources, and quite a lot of woodland. Such an environment would allow us to settle these slaves and continue to fill the land with new slaves over the next three years. ”

"And as long as we continue according to our plan, this place can develop into the largest food supply area in the whole of Nord in the next few years. It will be responsible for all of the food supply of the entire town of North Wind, and as it continues to expand its output, it will probably be able to cover the food of the entire north shore of Arest. So, this step is very important. ”

Although he had already studied this plan with the adults here for a long time, when it came to implementation, he explained it step by step. Because he knew very well that at that time, there was no one in the eight characters, so many people didn't care if what he said would be true. Now, when a lot of resources are invested, they can't be as ignorant as before, but they will inevitably start to worry about how feasible these originally established steps are.

Just like now, as soon as Hiko finished speaking, someone immediately began to question in an uncertain tone.

"Hiko, this is the best land we have in our hands, is it appropriate to hand it over to these slaves like this?"

"Uncle Kun, before you say that, you must first understand one thing, that is, the Nords really don't wait for the fields. Unceremoniously slapped the table, and Hiko directly began to refute. "From the very beginning of the introduction of human slaves, we have been counting the relevant data. According to the data I surveyed from a dozen elders, these Nord families, with human slaves who were proficient in farming, produced an average of 70 percent more food per year than they did when they did it themselves, which is the lowest figure, and the best data even more than doubled the output. And these are enough to illustrate a very serious problem, that is, we Nords are indeed not suitable for farming. ”

"Think about where we get our annual rations mainly from. More than 50 per cent of the income is obtained from fishing and hunting and breeding, while 30 per cent is obtained by sea trade, and less than 20 per cent is obtained by cultivating their own fields. In this way, most of these two are from the Sky Dome Clan, and the Raging Tide and Storm Tribes hardly produce much. ”

"This kind of data proves that we Nords really have no talent in the field. If we rely on farming to get food, we Nords can't even feed 50,000 people. In comparison, the peasants of the human race are so much more than we are. With the fields alone, the human peasants were able to supply tens of thousands of people in the human empire and even the kingdom, and even overflowed to a large extent. Isn't this kind of performance worth making such a plan?"

Hiko's rhetorical question made many people look a little ashamed on their faces. He was right, the Nords were simply ridiculous when it came to farming. You know, although Arest is bitterly cold, there are crops that can fully adapt to this environment. Winter wheat is one of them.

This crop is resistant to severe cold, has little demand, double-cropping a year, and has an abundant yield. It can be said that if you plant it carefully, you can basically get a satisfactory harvest. But for thousands of years, the Nords have never increased the production of this crop, and even now, many people do not wait for this crop.

It's ridiculous, but it's a fact. In the final analysis, a large part of the reason is that the Nords do not like to sit in the fields.

You must know that from a young man to an adult, most of the time is spent on practicing martial arts, and many Nords would rather take their weapons to the mountains and woods to fight dangerous beasts than waste time on land cultivation. This is the same for men and women, young and old, even if they are married, they basically do not have this leisure and effort.

And no matter what the crop is, without a careful person who puts a lot of time into taking care of it, then it is impossible to produce enough yields. Hiko has seen this very clearly, and it is precisely because of this that he advocates the purchase of humans.

There is no race better suited to the fields than humans, and their natural pioneering nature allows them to always achieve surprising results when it comes to managing the land. As long as human slaves can cultivate the land of Arest with peace of mind, and build a new urban framework based on farming. Then the Nords will be able to get a whole new transformation.

The Nords will be completely liberated from basic agricultural labour and will become a special class of deprived workers. In Hiko's vision, this class will take on new responsibilities.

In the face of the evidence and explanations provided by Hiko, most Nords wisely chose to listen. They knew very well that Hikoko was thinking differently from what they had in their heads. This wisdom, which represents governance and development, has brought them enormous benefits. The change in the town of North Wind is a testament to this. Therefore, as long as Yan can come up with a suitable reason, these natural rough men will not oppose him at all.

It's like now.

So, Hiko quickly circled his first step plan, and at the same time began to explain the second step to them.

"Once this new cultivated land has been settled, I hope that you will spontaneously organize a part of your compatriots to move to these positions, as I have said before. ”

Hiko said as he circled a few peripheral points on the fan he had planned.

"These places need to be settled by some Nords. On the one hand, it is to play the role of guard, after all, these slaves have just been stimulated by us, and you have to guard against them for a while and want to escape from here. On the other hand, I hope that you will do your best to protect these slaves. Because of their existence, we can be further developed. Even if it's to protect our own property, we should do our best, right?"

There was nothing wrong with this, so the Nords present immediately nodded their heads and patted their chests to agree to the matter. And without encountering resistance, Hikoshi naturally began to talk about his third-step plan.

"We have about 7,000 people in our hands right now. Among them, I intend to single out a hundred older ones as managers of these slaves, and let them govern themselves. I know people don't like to manage such chores, and I wish these slaves would be more motivated. So I think this kind of thing is necessary. Working for yourself is not the same as working for someone else. Since we didn't intend to enslave them in the first place, but wanted them to create wealth for us with a sound personality, it is better to just let them go and let them do their own thing. And what we have to do is give them a target that they can achieve. ”

"It's like raising sheep. We raise them, keep them safe, and let them multiply. Then we get wool from them. As long as this sheep does not die, then we can continue to harvest. It is even said that as the sheep become flocks, our harvest will become bigger and bigger. And when the time comes, the Nord can become a full-time reaper, not a self-producer. I think everyone can understand the disparity. ”
