Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

"Ability and qualifications can come slowly, but not everyone has the characteristics of Walter."

"oh?"

"He does things very strictly. He may not be an excellent manager, but he is definitely an excellent executor. I plan to stay here for three years to lay the foundation, and he will execute the follow-up work." After Us finished speaking, he thought about something again, and then said, "Sometimes, managers don't need to be outstanding or have many ideas. On the contrary, this will confuse... and have other effects, such as overthrowing previous ones in order to prove themselves." Everything is done by adding some of your own ideas to the original basis and controlling it according to your own will. The result is getting worse and worse. The most terrifying thing is that you don’t know it.”

"I think you are insinuating on me." Malekith sneered first, and then said jokingly.

Darkus was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at Malekith in confusion.

"Aren't they next to each other? The first Phoenix King Aenarion was a hero! But he left you a big mess..."

Malekith said nothing, but Darkus knew that Malekith wanted to hear what he had to say next.

"Your father is an excellent warrior, an outstanding general, and a great tactician, but he is not a qualified politician. He did not handle the faction problem in Ulthuan well."

Kou Lan, who was standing behind the monarch and his ministers, regretted a little and wanted to take a few steps back. He insisted on asking Malekith to come and stayed by Malekith's side. As a result, what His Majesty the Witch King and the Hand of the Witch King said along the way was something he shouldn't have listened to, and now even more...

Seeing that Malekith did not respond to him, Darkus seemed to be lost in memories. He shook his head and ignored it, but turned his head to look at the salt lake that was out of sight.

In addition to the endless salty soil here, there is also a very conspicuous cone in the middle. It may be more than a hundred meters high. It rises from the flat land and looks like a volcano. The strange visual error makes Darkus stand in the distance. When I first saw it, I thought it was floating in the air. At first he thought this conical pyramid was built by lizard people, because it had a perfect cone shape and looked like an artificial building.

As a result, Mazdamudi told Darkus through Chupa Coco that this is a naturally formed landscape, and there are no nodes in the spiritual vein network here. This cone is actually the top of a volcano. It lacks the power to emerge from the earth's crust and erupt. Magma or crater formation.

Then Darkus jumped off the big guy's back. He took off his gloves and grabbed a handful of salt from the ground. He looked at it in his hand. After looking at it for a long time, he stuck out his tongue and took a lick. As he thought, Yan Xian passed the salt in his hand to the big man's mouth, indicating that the big man should also be careful.

The big one kept shaking its head to express its refusal. It watched the salt getting closer and did not retreat, but blew the salt away with its smelly and heavy snort.

Salt is a necessity for many species to survive. Its functions and functions can be extended to hundreds or thousands of words...

Salt marshes and salt lakes are often confused together, but they are completely different concepts academically.

Salt marshes refer to coastal wetlands where salt-tolerant and water-loving plants grow under the influence of tides, or wetlands containing large amounts of salt. Inland salt marshes are mostly distributed in arid areas and are formed due to the long-term evaporation and accumulation of salt brought by rivers or groundwater. Coastal salt marshes are distributed in estuaries or seaside shoals and are formed due to seawater immersion or alternating tides.

The formation of salt lakes requires two specific natural conditions. One is that under arid or semi-arid climate conditions, the evaporation of lakes often exceeds the recharge of the lakes. The lake water continues to concentrate and the salt content increases day by day, causing various elements in the water to reach a saturated or supersaturated state, forming sedimentary deposits of various salts on the lakeside and at the bottom of the lake.

Another is that the closed terrain allows runoff in the basin to converge into the lake, preventing lake water from leaking out. Salt is continuously transported from the basin to the lake through runoff. Under the strong evaporation, the lake water becomes saltier and saltier, and more and more salt accumulates. Over time, a salt lake is formed.

The most familiar one is Chaka Salt Lake.

But as a wise man who knew everything, Darkus did not know this geographical knowledge. In his previous life, he had been to Chunhun, Dongdan, Fangcheng, and Chaka, but he had never been abroad. Not to mention going to Glassville in South America, but through some kind of medium, he had seen Salar de Uyuni, known as the Land of the Sky. As the name suggests, the scenery between heaven and earth is the same, just like the refraction of a mirror.

However, the place where Darkus is now is different from the Sky Realm. It may be because of the semi-arid climate here, which causes evaporation to be greater than precipitation. Moreover, it is still the dry season, and there is no accumulation of water. The soles of his boots are made of white salt. When he walks, it feels like stepping on snow. It makes a crunching sound and is very solid.

Sometimes you have to choose the right time to travel, just like watching a waterfall. It is majestic during the flood season, but normally it looks like an old man dripping urine.

As a great smart man, Darkus knew a series of salt-making steps in the seaside salt farm, including building beaches, maintaining beaches, absorbing tides, making brine, measuring brine, crystallizing and fishing for salt, but he couldn’t get into specifics. I don’t know the third question. But it doesn't matter. As a ruler, he doesn't need to know these things. He is not a salt worker. He can do it. Moreover, he speculated that the process of making salt here is simpler than that of Linhai Salt Farm. It should be a three-step process, directly digging out the salt mounds, drying the salt, and making salt. Maybe there is no need for any brine or the like?

"Are you going to make this your kingdom according to your vision?" While Darkus was thinking, Malekith, who was freed from his memories, asked thoughtfully.

"Small turbulence can also gather into a surging tide." Darkus looked intoxicated, spreading his hands to embrace the world, he sighed, and then he said seriously, "I am going to be here first Engage in agriculture, livestock, cash crops and light industry, maybe add coinage? This will be decided tomorrow.

All Keith steel ingots, weapons, equipment, iron bars, iron bars, iron sheets and manufactured articles from the open hearth, such as nails, horseshoes, hammer heads, daggers, machetes, picks, locks and other articles of daily consumption, You can freely use or modify any steel items here, but the steel must be shipped from Naggaroth! I have made this rule, and I will take the lead in following it! At least that was the case before he came to Ulthuan. "

The ships coming from Naggaroth need things to ballast, or good black pine wood, or steel. They cannot be left vacant, and the interests of those who are willing to run the ship must be guaranteed. What's more important is not to cause a trade deficit, not to let Nagaros become a dumping ground for the Kauchen Plains. However, it cannot be said that Darkus does not understand this area, but that he does not understand it at all.

Malekith remembered that Darkus once mentioned the trinity system of Hagrid Grave, the Black Ark Nagor and Naggalond, that is, the ore was mined in Hagrid Grave and the Nagor was refining. It is made into shape, and Nagarond does the final processing. The best weapons, equipment, and daily steel consumables are all controlled by him and Darkus, leaving no room for the powerful to intervene, thereby controlling the army at a deeper level and having more reliable elite troops.

This elite army is supported by good equipment, abundant and abundant food, and high salaries. As for hatred? …

"We might as well just move all the Nagaros here." Malekith said teasingly.

Darkus laughed, knowing that Malekith was joking.

"If this place had not been poisoned, rebelled or invaded, it could have supported this number of people!" After laughing, Darkus suddenly became serious. He looked at Malekith and said, and at the end he opened his palm and stretched out it. He shook his five fingers.

"Five million?" Malekith asked with some uncertainty. Although he ruled Naggaros and earlier ruled the Old World colonies, he had rich ruling experience, but his ability was more biased towards his Father, he will leave these things to the people below, such as Alandrian's wife. And he was commanding the army on the front line to fight against the beastmen and greenskins. The figure of five million seemed to him an exaggeration. There were not so many elves in such a fertile colony at that time. Now Nagaroth plus Osu An estimated it was only five million.

Darkus nodded. He did not tell Malekith that one less zero could feed fifty million people. He was afraid of scaring Malekith. This was not a cannon fire. It could be done here. It could definitely be done in Kauchen Plain. In the previous life, the Silver Country claimed to be able to support 1.5 billion people!

The rotten land of Krakarond and the traditional manor model can support the Druchi of all Nagaros.

Darkus had estimated the population of Nagaros. The lifespan and adulthood of elves are very mysterious. Due to the living environment, Druchi, who is a civilian, can become a soldier, go to sea, or work as a street boy mercenary at the age of sixteen. , there is no need for a hundred years of learning cycle like the children of the rich and powerful.

The old, weak, sick and disabled refers to the underage Druchi or the injured, disabled and disabled Druchi. Old? There is no such thing as old. Very few druchi can live to be eight hundred years old and cannot even touch the threshold of one thousand.

The approximate number of Nagaros Druchi ranges from 800,000 to 1.2 million.

Most of Naggaroth's food and meat base come from Krakarond, and the rest comes from bits and pieces, such as the Druchi planting expert who planted an arrow in his knee, or in the greenhouses of the powerful.

What can Hege Grave do where he sees the sun once a year? The wind blows twice a year in that damn place of Caronde Karna, once for half the year. Outside the city of Nagarond is a vast black earth plain, but it is frozen soil that has not changed for thousands of years. Can you grow potatoes?

Malekith didn't say anything more, but nodded in the same way. He had always known Darkus's idea of ​​governing, expanding the number of troops, changing the trend of thought, abandoning the route of fewer but better, and began to take the dual route of quantity and elites. . There is no weakling in the change of Nagaroth. Through the materials from the Kauchen Plain, the population of Nagaroth can be expanded in a short period of time to cope with the subsequent war.

In the tent at night, Malekith sat directly in front of the long table, Darkus, as the Hand of the Witch King, sat on his right hand, and the left side was vacant. After all, there were no distinguished guests, and there was no second Hand of the Witch King. Chupa Coco, who was following the team, was too lazy to attend such a meeting.

Darkus was basically talking throughout the meeting, and Druchi's powerful people either listened or took notes. He knew that many powerful people had nothing to do, either waiting for him to assign work, or wanting to work between him and Malekith. If you want to express yourself in front of others, you may want to learn from him and see his style and ideas of doing things.

As a result, only the high-ranking Druchi dignitaries could have seats in the tent, while other servants and family members could only squeeze into the corners of the tent.

The content is nothing more than being in Salta Salt Flats, yes, Salta Salt Flats. The name Darkus was abandoned and I was ready to call it this name. First establish a pilot, and then transfer six insurance workers from Chapeiuto, which is a labor dispatch of 30,000 yuan. However, there is not yet a full complement of insurance workers. He estimates that the six insurance workers together will only be a little over 10,000 yuan.

Calculate the minimum and maximum values ​​of a labor dispatcher's work in one day, and then look at the workload in a year, so that you can estimate how much salt a labor dispatcher can produce in a year. In turn, we can calculate how much salt a guarantee can produce in a year, and then allocate how many guarantees are based on the demand for salt. We can also calculate the specific area of ​​​​work and placement labor dispatch and the Druch army. What kind of village is not interested, at least not here. He wants to unify management and prepare to build an integrated factory-type fortress.

If Darkus remembers correctly, you shouldn’t be able to get salt during the rainy season? Unless you want to dry it indoors, and then ask the sorceress to get something that can heat it? It doesn't take much effort.

There are only so many resources and bargaining chips now. The subsequent labor dispatch is like leeks, but it will take a few years. The five black arks will only bring 80,000 labor dispatch. The Yankees in the last battle of Golond generally They are all Huns and are not suitable for Darkus's mode and gameplay, so they all stay in Nagaroth. He couldn't just wave his hand and send tens of thousands over. That's not his style. He's good at playing business simulation games, and his specialty is planned economy! On the contrary, he is not good at running a free economy.

Moreover, with his own territory, Darkus awakened the miracle gene in his blood. He originally planned to build a temple of the Lord of the Abyss and Marcelan in the dock area of ​​Chapeiuto with a total area of ​​four football fields. , a reference to the Royal William Yard in Portsmouth.

There is a shrine dedicated to Marcelan in the Iris Kingdom of Ulthuan, but it has little to do with Darkos, at least not now. As for the future, he doesn't know... maybe it can be used as a way to knock on the door to the old world in the future. Departure? It is Ulthuan's closest starting point to the Old World.

You must know that the current "Big Belly King" Gollum has not invaded Yris yet. The current Yris is full of oil. When Lothern catches up with Tal Yris, it will be Finuba's successor in a few years. The Phoenix King announced the opening of the sea, and in less than two hundred years, Lothern, which opened the sea, was home to more humans than Asul in the year 2300 of the Imperial Calendar...

Darkus planned to build the Temple of Marcelan to be beautiful and spacious, distributed in a symmetrical grid, with a high dome, and the building materials were made of stones from the Sotek Ridge. He believed that this design could also make efficient use of space, serving as a temple and at the same time serving as a centralized, specialized and secure large-scale supply site and area for use by religious orders.

Maximize the efficiency of manufacturing, storing and distributing goods, provide food and water to passing ships, provide a place for many contractors to come and go, and effectively deal with the subsequent corruption and fraud. Its function is the same as Mazu's mediation room. Darkus finally figured it out. Usually the elves who believe in Marcelan going to sea are... superstitious?

The most intuitive scene is to trade in Marcelan's temple and swear to Marcelan.

The temple includes the main prayer area, dock, assembly, wine cellar, bakery, warehouse, slaughterhouse, freezer, underwater animal training arena, conflict mediation room, etc., as well as the offices, training venues, and dormitories of the Stormweaver Order. The guard room is also in the temple, but it is separated from the previous place. The important thing is that the land machine is also placed in the temple.

The temple is square and square, with the beauty of Hagia Sophia, and then adds some elven elements, and builds four spiers around it.

In addition, Darkus also wants to build a landmark lighthouse in Chapeiuto, but now these things have no basis at all. They are purely Darkus’ daydreams. The drawings are still being drawn and the stones are still there. The Sotigo Ridge remains intact, and the most important thing is that the supporting labor dispatch is not enough!

Darkus could only arrange to build a screw-pile lighthouse on the sea northeast of Chapeiuto first, but Asriel was even more unreasonable now. He planned to divide Asriel in two across the river, with the lizard people's temple city in the north and the Druchi capital in the Cawchen Plain in the south. The problem was to get from his current position to Asriel and then to Chapeyu Without the rivers on the ground, the energy stored in the spiritual vein network was consumed too much during this period. The army was repeatedly transported on a large scale, and Chapeiuto was picked up from the deep sea. Now is not the time before the maelstrom was established. In the era of high magic, Slann magic priests can build cities out of thin air. It is out of the question to ask Master Ma to help build a city out of thin air, but it is still no problem to ask Master Ma to help build a canal.

There is no such thing as salt and iron officialdom in Drukhi society. Everything is chaotic and monopolized by various families. There are salt fields in the north of Krakalond, and most of the Drukki live by the sea, and they can always pass through various There is a way to get salt. Salt is a necessity, but it has no meaning and value as a monopoly. Most elves generally like sweets. Instead of monopolizing salt, it is better to open up a pattern to monopolize sugar.

Moreover, when Darkus was in Nagarond, according to the investigation report, he found that Druch liked to eat meat because meat was the most cost-effective food for the average class. He had already planned that coarse salt and fine salt would be produced here. Salt.

Part of the fine salt is used as a strategic material for the Druchi army, and the other part is sold to all classes of the Druchi. The pricing will not be studied for the time being, but Darkus estimates that the entire Big Wrong Edition is exclusively for the powerful class, as the saying goes. . How can nobles associate with common people? How can the food of the nobles be the same as that of the common people?

The ingredients of salt are sodium chloride and nitrite? Emm, it's a matter of taste. As for the lizardmen, Darkus is not prepared to provide fine salt.

Just provide coarse salt to the lizard people. The lizard people and the elves are completely different species. If the elves eat something that irritates their throats or cannot be digested, it will not be a problem for the lizard people at all. As for the kidneys that cannot bear it, then there is no problem. .

As for the coarse salt, it is simple. After some processing, it is pulled into the unnamed administrative district of Darkus. In the future, some meat there will be slaughtered and salted, and transported to the jungles of Nagaroth or Lustria. In the temple city, some of it is stored as war preparation supplies and the like.

industrial salt? No...but Darkus probably has to transport some of it to the silver mine veins. He doesn't understand the process of making silver. What kind of mercury does it seem to be? Still pumping and adding salt.

"That's the general content. Go up the mountain tomorrow and see the legendary silver mine." Darkus closed the book and put it in his arms and said with a smile. He then added, "It's question time now. If you have anything you want to ask or express, you can ask now, and of course I will answer selectively."
