I am a god in another world

"A total of 8,000 civilians can be left behind, preferably mainly immigrants from Tethyr, and no more than 2,000 from the Dragon Coast. It is best to select those who have resentment towards the Dragon Coast, especially those who have been persecuted by the dark organization."

Carl had been prepared for this. This place is too close to the Dragon Coast. If too many Dragon Coast immigrants are left here, it is easy to be infiltrated by the dark forces of the Dragon Coast, but they cannot leave no one. They must leave some people who are familiar with the situation there to facilitate subsequent battles.

"What about the army? What else do you need besides the Legion of the Broken Limbs?"

"It is best to let the Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry led by Legion Commander Nora stay in the City of Faith for a while. Although the large forces of the monsters in the Goblin Borderland have been defeated and strangled, there are more monster tribes that did not participate in this war. Once the main force leaves, they will inevitably be ready to move. It will take a long time to completely eliminate them."

Carl chose to let Nora and the others stay. In addition to the reasons mentioned above, there is another reason that cannot be ignored. They are all Gavin's direct lineage and the original team.

With them stationed here, it is easier for him, Carl, to show that he has no selfishness.

Born in the noble family of Ximen, he is proficient in the art of political management and knows the importance of loyalty, especially in such a relatively independent high position, which is even more important than ability.

And this is exactly what he lacks most from Gavin.

"Okay, but their stationing is temporary. I may withdraw them at any time. You need to organize your own cavalry regiment as soon as possible." Gavin also agreed.

In the rocky land, heavy knights are not very useful. It is better to stay in the City of Faith. After the army leaves for a while, it will not be too late for them to catch up with it.

"As for the development of the City of Faith, the lord has already paved the way for us. I just need to follow it."

Carl said: "The first point, and the most core point, is to encourage immigration, whether it is from the Dragon Coast, the other side of the Sunset Mountains, including the Kingdom of Cormier, as long as they are willing to come, we will open our arms."

This strategy of encouraging immigration is not simply influenced by the conqueror army.

Rather, it is inevitable to develop new settlements and new cities in wastelands like the Goblin Border. After all, the effect of natural reproduction is too slow, and it is far less convenient to encourage immigration and eat the population dividend of other regions.

"There is no problem with the core policy." Gavin agreed, "This will be one of the core tasks of your City of Faith. You must not only attract immigrants for the City of Faith, but also attract the Rockland and the Valley. The key issue is how do you get those residents to leave their comfort zone and immigrate to the City of Faith?"

Due to many reasons such as the early and late settlement, the national system, and the density of monsters, the population distribution of Faerun is extremely uneven.

In Calimshan, Tethyr, Amn and other regions, human settlement can be traced back to tens of thousands of years ago. The three regions were under the rule of the powerful Shane Dynasty for a long time.

1349 years ago, the Valley reached an agreement with the elves, set up a stone alliance, and began to open up the first human settlement in the open space of the Great Forest of Cormanthor.

It was only after thirty or forty years that the first king of the Kingdom of Cormier brought his wife Susal to the current capital, opened up the first piece of wasteland, and established his own manor.

If Gavin wants to develop rapidly in the valley, he must constantly and continuously draw population from the west coast of Faerun. The Conqueror Army is just the beginning.

Based on the area of ​​the valley, let alone 50,000, even if it increases a hundred times to 5 million, Gavin can arrange them clearly.

At that time, there is no need for him to compete for the King of the Valley. This title will naturally fall on his head. This is an outright conspiracy.

However, the model of the Conqueror Army is difficult to replicate, and there are many reasons for it.

The macro reason is that Tethyr has been in war for many years, and many residents have seriously weakened their sense of belonging there, and they just want to find a peaceful place without war.

The direct reason is that the large-scale monster disaster last year caused countless refugees to pour into the city of Dalauma, resulting in too fast development speed here, far beyond its tolerance limit. Many citizens are on the verge of famine, and the catastrophe is imminent.

The mayor of Dalaoma City, Zalanda, fully cooperated and promoted this matter because of Gavin.

Now the situation there has been completely reversed. Not only will there be no more extra refugees, but Dalaoma has the spare capacity to absorb refugees from other parts of the Kingdom of Tethyr.

Compared with the City of Faith, which is thousands of kilometers away, Dalaoma is more attractive to the people of Tethyr.

Those who are most dissatisfied with the Dragon Coast, the most impoverished, and most eager to migrate have been almost swept away by the Conqueror Army. Most of the remaining people have families and businesses and are relatively satisfied with their current lives.

The most important thing is that under the stimulation of the Conqueror Army, the Dragon Coast is no longer a mess, but has formed an alliance of eight cities. They are very wary of the City of Faith. Both the open forces and the dark forces will join forces to stop immigrants and prevent them from continuing to grow.

Small-scale, fragmented immigration is the route to be taken in the future. The City of Faith will be their most important transit point. Attracting immigrants will be his continuous core task.

"Different measures should be taken according to different regions." Carl was obviously prepared for this. "We analyze it bit by bit. First, the densely populated ancient kingdoms south of the Giant Plains, Amn, Tethyr, Calimshan and the shores of the Steam Lake.

Although we have opened up the Conqueror's Road, for ordinary people, this road is too long and the risk of migrating alone is too great. They will not easily make this choice unless they are desperate.

If we continue to organize immigration, we don't need a large army like the Conqueror's Army. We only need a few hundred, or even dozens of people. Under the leadership of people who are familiar with the road, it will greatly increase the possibility of them making this choice.

We can negotiate with local friendly forces to establish an immigration union or an immigration chamber of commerce there, combining immigration with the chamber of commerce, doing business and immigration at the same time, without delaying both. At that time, it is better to say that it is hiring workers to go north than to say that they are immigrants. "

"Your suggestion is very good. The Immigration Chamber of Commerce will be established by your City of Faith as your municipal chamber of commerce."

Gavin made the decision directly, "I will build statue hotels along the Conqueror's Road. In each hotel, a medium-sized road statue will be set up to prepare for the future upgrade of the super-giant statue.

These statue hotels will also be handed over to your City of Faith to build together as an important part of the Immigration Chamber of Commerce.

Each statue hotel is a local immigrant collection point and a resettlement point. Later, they will be transformed into settlements and villages.

The construction of the statue hotel can be integrated with the road refinement of the dog-headed road repair team. "

Gavin originally wanted to continue to develop the chain hotel on the Conqueror's Road with Mother Gowther, but the value shown by the glass water lamp was much higher than expected.

Before the factory was built, the Cormier royal family placed an order for thousands of pieces. Although the value was not too high, only a few hundred thousand, it greatly enhanced the confidence of the villagers in Nimir Village, and all aspects of the matter progressed very quickly.

I believe that once the royal glass water lamps customized by the royal family are delivered, a new fashion trend will be set off in Susar, and those nobles of all sizes will follow suit and use them to decorate their banquet halls to show their taste and wealth.

This transaction alone has occupied most of their energy. How can they have the ability to cooperate with Gavin on the Conqueror's Road?

After all, they are just a pleasure hall with limited manpower, and there is no way to compare with Gavin, who is now a big family.

With the road statue, these hotels have a different meaning to Gavin. They are no longer a simple point of interest, but also an important transit point for military forces and an accumulation point for primitive beliefs.

When he ascends to the god of the road, they will become Gavin's first batch of temples.

In this way, it is not suitable to operate with others, but to be completely controlled by himself.

"Okay, I will definitely not disappoint the Lord's expectations." Carl said confidently.

This confidence comes not only from his own ability, but also from the series of new things brought by this extraordinary young commander in front of him.

With the huge human and material support provided by the other party, even ordinary hotels can play tricks, not to mention the road statues like cheaters behind them, whether in terms of information convenience or security, they have incomparable advantages.

If you still can't do it well, don't think about seeking revenge from the Dark Night Mask, just be honest and keep your tail between your legs.

"Opening our own chamber of commerce is just one way. Why don't we cooperate with other chambers of commerce and let them help bring more immigrants north. For every one they bring, we will pay them a certain commission." Kailisa suddenly had an idea.

This half-Goliath and half-Drow has discovered many talents in the Conqueror Army that cannot be discovered in the Goliath Tribe. She is not only a general who can charge into battle, but also a talented general.

Now she is also one of the chiefs of staff of the Conqueror Army, attending all large and small development and war meetings.

"No." The others on the scene rejected it in unison.

Seeing the puzzlement on Carissa's face, Gavin patiently explained: "You have lived in the mountains for many years, and you don't know that people are treacherous. Once money is involved in such things, those merchants can do all kinds of despicable things.

At that time, they are likely to ignore the wishes of the immigrants themselves and forcibly abduct many civilians who are unwilling to immigrate. In this way, what is the difference between this and slave trading?

And these immigrants are going to become our subjects. They are likely to transfer their negative emotions to us with resentment, thus sowing many seeds of trouble.

We can use various preferential policies to keep the employees of the caravans, or attract those immigrants to use these caravans to We can go north, but we can never solve the problem with money.

Even when dealing with the slave empire of Karinshan, this is the case. We would rather cooperate with local slave rescue organizations and eliminate those slave organizations than buy slaves from those slave owners and slave organizations.

Even if we use the banner of rescue, it is not okay, because our purchase, even if it is under the banner of kindness and rescue, is also indirectly boosting the prosperity and development of the slave industry.

We have no way to judge which slaves are already there and which slaves are newly captured by slave traders after we set the price.

This is the most basic principle issue, and we must never cross the line. "

Gavin's attitude towards the slave industry is as firm as ever. He will never tolerate it, even if it is indirectly provoked.

His starting point has never been kindness, but revenge, a personal grudge from his previous life.

This kind of grudge, he will not only take revenge on the Zhentarim, he will not tolerate all slave traders.

Others don't know this, so they naturally attribute this matter to Gavin's kind character, which is a wonderful misunderstanding.

Kailisa suddenly realized: "Lord, I am too simple about this matter. I have no objection."

"Lord Carl, you can continue."

"After talking about the long-distance immigration policy, let's talk about the nearby ones. The immigration difficulty of our three neighbors is different.

The most difficult one is the Kingdom of Cormyr. It has been peaceful for a long time. The citizens have developed their own sense of pride. There are even exclusive songs such as Cormyr's self-praise. It is very difficult to attract immigrants from here.

Especially now that the Red Spring Reclamation Area in the northeast has begun large-scale reclamation and development because of the bet between the rock land and the land. Those Cormyr people who are adventurous and seek change will run in this direction first, rather than to the Goblin Border.

Really If there are people who run over, we have to treat them with caution, because they are likely to be criminals who cannot stay in the Kingdom of Cormier. There is no way to take them in, both publicly and privately.

Therefore, he is not our priority. It is best to have him, but it is normal if he does not.

Our focus should be on the cities on the west side of the Sunset Mountains and the Dragon Coast, which are roughly the same in difficulty.

The people of the Dragon Coast are profit-oriented, and even if they form the Eight Cities Alliance, this cannot be changed. As long as they know that the City of Faith is not a barbaric land, they can more easily find wealth here, and they will naturally flock here without our encouragement.

When people's hearts are floating, they cannot be stopped. They have many ways to go north. .

This can be completely integrated with our own development.

The Lord has created countless employment opportunities, including Sterke shrub planting, fish feed processing, fish farming, crayfish and electric eel farming, glass firing plant, glass bottle blowing plant, glass water lantern manufacturing plant, sand mining, quarry, and biocement manufacturing plant.

Many of these are emerging industries, which have countless opportunities to dig out their own wealth. As long as someone can dig out their first pot of gold from it, countless people will follow suit.

In order to attract more people to come, we need to continue to build more houses in the next step to provide free food and accommodation for those who are willing to stay in this city and work hard.

Especially those craftsmen with special skills. , rent the shops here to them at a low rent.

This is just a preliminary policy, we will adjust it in time according to actual needs. I believe that this city has unimaginable commercial competitiveness. The loose alliance of the Dragon Coast can't fight us at all.

When our rise is unstoppable.

Many of those profit-seeking merchants and dark guilds will turn to our direction.

We can take the opportunity to pull one faction, suppress one faction, and fight one faction. It won't take long before the so-called Eight Cities Alliance will be torn apart and become scattered again. "

Carl's main goal is still locked on the Dragon Coast, both because he knows it well enough and because the population here is the most densely populated except for the Kingdom of Cormier.

The small and medium-sized towns on the west side of the Sunset Mountains can't be compared with this place.

"Is the fish feed made with Stark bushes successful? The luminous canal was successfully built? The results of the biocement test are out?" Gavin asked hurriedly.

Although he introduced these new things, he was busy during this period and didn't pay attention to their subsequent advancement process.

According to Carl, this place is also going to build a large-scale factory for production? So fast?

"Yes, all of them succeeded." Carl sincerely admired, "Lord, you have a keen eye, how could you be wrong? They bring not just two industries to our City of Faith, but two huge industrial chains. If they can be rolled out, they can feed tens of thousands of people."

If it is said that leading the army of conquerors to open up the City of Faith shows Gavin's military ability.

Then the introduction of Stark shrub planting and the construction of luminous canals is an economic mind and business ability.

Directly found two pillar industries for the City of Faith, and they complement each other in many aspects.

For example, the planting of Stark shrubs is perfectly integrated with the fishery of the Thun Swamp, and it is also cross-integrated with another industry of exploding crayfish and electric eel farming.

The production of glass water lanterns will give birth to glass firing industry, sand mining industry, stone quarrying industry, glass bottle blowing industry, etc. Where is it more convenient to build these industries in your own city than to purchase them elsewhere?

The biocement made by the molting of the lobsters ensured that the conqueror army left the City of Faith. Without the support of a large number of spellcasters, the construction speed of the City of Faith would not be too slow.

Even Carl, who was not good at imagination, could imagine the business opportunities and vitality that would burst out in the City of Faith.

If it weren't for the age difference, Carl couldn't help but wonder if he was the reincarnation of the missing goddess of wealth, Wakin, who had the ability to turn stone into gold. As for gender, it was not a problem for the gods.

"Tell me more about it." Gavin said with great interest.

"The process of making fish food from Stark bushes is very simple. Just mix them with various grasses and water plants, crush them, stir them together, and throw them into the water, and the fish will rush to eat them.

The druids are studying how to dry and compact this feed for a long time for use in winter when grass is scarce.

With Stark bushes as bait, the catch of the black-scaled lizardmen in the Thun Swamp doubled in just ten days.

In the future, the catch here alone can feed tens of thousands of people."

Carl obviously knew what Gavin was most interested in, and only said the key points, "We have organized people to plant Stark bushes on a large scale in those lands that cannot be developed in a short time, especially along the Conqueror's Road.

Starting from next summer, we can organize people to go out and harvest, and we can harvest twice a year."
