Chapter 166: Negotiations between the Ministries and Reclamation and Development
In the Black Forest, there are 19 separate medium-sized tribes at this time, and they have become a little disheartened that they can continue to maintain their independence after seeing the military appearance of the fangs and the magical magic abilities of the witch doctor of the new path;
In addition, during the negotiation process, I was also informed of the size of the wolf pack in the west, the demonic beasts in the mountains, and the complex situation outside the mountains that had been fabricated and exaggerated.
Even those who are unwilling in the center of it have reluctantly expressed their approval and accepted the fate of merging the whole into the teeth under the general trend.
As a result, 19 witch doctors and nearly 13,000 'people' to be converted were newly recorded, which made the deacons in charge of the negotiations almost happy.
The witch doctors don't say that the naturalization of the 'population' will definitely take some time to complete;
However, with the experience of the previous period of "track engineering construction", "education while production" will undoubtedly be a good choice, and the headquarters will arrange for them to do some basic work during the "naturalization period", so as to ensure that production and education are not delayed.
In this way, at most two troll years, these 'new populations' who don't have much background can basically complete the semi-naturalization.
Unlike the medium-sized tribes, where negotiations went smoothly, the initial conditions for the talks with the larger tribes were met with a cold reception.
Although the chiefs and witch doctors of the big tribes lowered their posture as much as possible, their meanings were still full of rejection.
This is especially true of the attitude of the chiefs, who are not willing to give up their authority in the tribe and run to the teeth to bow down and make small.
The witch doctors, although they seem to be a little shaken, actually value the 'inheritance' more seriously than the chiefs in their hearts, although they are extremely greedy for the new magic system and know the power of the teeth, but they just can't make up their minds to be unified.
When Nesta heard the news, he was not satisfied with their choice, but he could actually understand his heart;
After all, these big tribes have been inherited for a long time, and the inheritance of the tribes from generation to generation "I don't know how many years they have accumulated, and it is common to be unable to give up.
"Alas.... Don't push too hard, just let it be...."
After sighing and dropping the sentence, he stopped paying attention to the follow-up negotiations, and continued his research with the rest of the witch doctors in the canopy.
To tell the truth, with the existing forces of the headquarters, it is not impossible to force unification; Even in terms of efficiency alone, this is actually the wisest choice.
But in the face of this temptation of "short and fast", all the witch doctors, including Nesta, and the deacons who really went to do things, resisted it.
Because the purpose of uniting the tribes, in addition to coveting the 'population', there is another reason that is indistinguishable, and that is to absorb their witch doctor power.
These large tribes, just like the tooth department forty or fifty years ago, basically maintain the level of two witch doctors all year round, and even the Philanti Agricultural Department among them is lucky to have three witch doctors, the old, middle and the young.
The total number of these witch doctors can reach as many as 14, which can be said to be a considerable number compared to the existing witch doctors in the tooth, even if you add those who were previously converted.
Therefore, in order to make these witch doctors truly come to heart, Tooth is willing to give them the utmost patience;
The Rune Council will not be willing to convince people and force them to unify unless necessary.
Since we can't unify it for the time being, we have to play some tricks.... As a result, a backup plan was quickly proposed.
The tooth department gave a second option - let the six major ministries contribute to the security and development of the western Black Forest.
The main conditions are as follows:
First, the six tribes must be involved in the reclamation of the Black Forest (supplemented by the looming threat of war);
In this regard, the Tooth Department promised not to encroach on the benefits they had obtained in the local area, and to help them establish new 'reclamation groups', teach cultivation techniques (all manual planting), supply high-yielding seeds (the kind of 'improved products' that cannot be cultivated with the fruits of the harvest, and restrictions must be used in the west), and assist in the establishment of reclamation groups to support their respective headquarters (exploitative, only auxiliary policies are formed but not personally involved in implementation);
In addition, the dental department will provide rail transportation services to help them transport the harvested food back to their respective headquarters (collecting grain over there and putting grain here, without too much additional loss). )
The price of this help is not too high, and it is so affordable that the witch doctors of the six major ministries can't believe it.
'When did the calculating teeth become so generous?' This is their common doubt at this time.
The deacon in charge of the negotiations also gave a proper reason for this:
"The wolves over there are too big, and we have to have enough power to project them over there to be able to keep the existing interests of the teeth."
"But the power that the teeth alone can let go of is limited after all, and the trolls sent by the six major tribes can share some of the pressure for us."
"So your participation is good news for the teeth."
This is an obvious reason, but it is actually quite reasonable.
Therefore, after obtaining the promise of 'only forming a joint defense system and not interfering with the harvest and ownership of the reclamation group", the six major ministries finally really moved their hearts to this plan and are ready to join the development of the western Black Forest.
Including the 3,000 laborers who have been "naturalized" before, the 1,800 who belong to the six major ministries will also be "returned" to them under this premise.
However, the development of the six major reclamation regiments
What the six ministries don't know is that in the 'reclamation plan' that the Ministry of Teeth is brewing, there are actually many supportive policies for the 'reclamation group' of the ministry, such as the collection of phased preferential taxes, the provision of preferential purchase of production tools, and special property rights arrangements.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the reclamation plan that is brewing in the headquarters.
For the reclamation of wasteland, on the premise that the land rights themselves belong to the tribe as a whole, the headquarters has the following planning arrangements.
First, it is a 'large-scale agricultural reclamation base' under the direct control of the headquarters.
They will be produced on a mercenary basis in the form of large-scale, centralized, and fully 'mechanized'.
The output is nominally owned by the tribes, but in fact it is controlled and distributed by the headquarters, and the laborers are "industrial trolls" who receive corresponding wages as labor income.
Second, it is a "local agricultural reclamation base" whose management rights are divided into 'sub-bases' and 'bases', and its industrial model is similar to that of the agricultural reclamation areas directly controlled by the headquarters, but the output is collected by the corresponding public treasury of the 'locality';
The third is the 'reclamation group' model.
The "Reclamation Regiment" is an experimental project, and its members are mainly a collection of production teams that have volunteered to open up outwards.
The reason for its emergence is because of the emergence of agricultural engineering vehicles, resulting in the fact that the "large agricultural reclamation base" does not need too much "manpower" support, and can also be used as a comparative reference for the first two models to study the efficiency and enthusiasm caused by different development models.
With the support of the base camp, the 'Reclamation Regiment' will be developed in the outer circle of the garrison area, and will bear more security risks accordingly.
In this regard, the tribe will give it preferential treatment in material and tax policies depending on the situation.
For example, they are granted complete exemption from tax on all output, including agricultural products, produced in the corresponding region during the previous 30 years;
In 30 to 100 years, different levels of taxes will be levied according to the distance from the sub-base and the extension of the tentacles of tribal power.
Those areas that are far away from the sub-bases and garrisons and cannot be 100% covered by the tribal military security forces will maintain a low-tax policy for a long time;
And every year, a certain amount of support will be given such as "security subsidy", "track construction subsidy" and "production tool subsidy", so that they can have more energy to build and protect the ultra-long-distance development zone.
For example, the 'plateau land outside the gap in the mountains of the northeast' with the greatest tentative preferential treatment is tentatively granted.
If there is a reclamation group willing to go over, then it can be exempted from taxes for a hundred years, provide construction machinery for development in the early stage, and enjoy the totem inscription first.
This is because the ruling government did not resist the temptation of the fertile meadow plains after all, and decided to use the most preferential policy to support a group of troll production teams to form an 'ultra-long-range reclamation group' to go to the enclosure.
Lest it end up like the 'heaven-sent plateau outside the mountains' due north, and you can only watch as large tracts of fertile land are occupied by migrating horn and hoof species.
In this regard, Nesta was noncommittal, since the ruling government had ideas, let them go.....
Of course, the distribution of the reclamation regiment has to go through more detailed planning before it can be completed, after all, there are so many 'manpower', if all of them run to a place that is too far away from the sub-base and station to open up the wasteland, the meaning of the station's existence will be lost;
Moreover, that would put a large number of trolls at a very high risk, which is not in line with the original intention of the ruling government.
Therefore, except for a very small number of reclamation regiments that will be placed in the outer areas, most of them will have to rely on the garrison and shelter to carry out construction under the protection of the security forces.
However, these 'reclamation group development sites', which are independent of large-scale agricultural bases and not far from the strongholds, can actually enjoy some preferential policies, but the intensity is not as great as the 'Northeast Gap Development'.
The reclamation group is not only responsible for 'agricultural reclamation development', but also for the development of 'industry' and 'handicraft' with the support of the group, and has its own characteristic industries to revitalize the 'commercial atmosphere' of the tribe that is now almost a pool of stagnant water."
The arrangement of the six major reclamation regiments is more meaningful;
They will not have the opportunity to travel to the Far Reach, and will even be placed close to the sub-base, and their residence will be arranged as close to the tooth stronghold as possible, thus increasing the communication opportunities between the trolls and the trolls.
What kind of cascading effect will this have? Then it all depends on the policies, the contrast of life, and the future of creation that can be brought about by the greed of the six major departments.....
At the very least, the people in the ruling government have some confidence in this move.
