Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2596 Potential Allies
"Of course there are difficulties, but they are not insurmountable."

In fact, even if Lamani doesn't ask, Xia Duo will find an opportunity to bring this up, otherwise, if his assistance is too easy, wouldn't it appear that his assistance is too cheap?
"Great Xia leaders have been stockpiling winter clothes since the beginning of their development. As the number of citizens has increased time after time, the reserves have also increased time and time again. In addition, we are already in the main plane, and we have already predicted the arrival of winter. My Almost everyone in the community has more than one winter coat.

"This time, if we hadn't recruited more than 20 new citizens at one time, the inventory alone would be enough to equip all the people of the Lamani councilor.

"As for now, I can temporarily borrow a batch of old winter clothes from the original citizens. Although they may be a little worn out, they still have the basic function of keeping out the cold.

"Furthermore, there is still some time before winter begins. I can still speed up the production in the territory workshop. I also ask Mr. Lamani to help me. I seek assistance."

Xia Duo pays attention to cultivating the skills of the leaders, coupled with a reasonable division of labor, it is not a big problem to urgently produce a batch of winter clothes, but the production of winter clothes enough to keep out the cold requires a lot of poultry feathers.

In the next period of time, the meat in the territory may be replaced by chickens, ducks and geese, and it may affect the scale of poultry farming in the coming year.

However, if it can help ordinary people who migrated from the sweet water plane, this price is completely acceptable.

As for the heater, Xia Duo didn't promise too much. Unlike winter clothes, which can be produced by ordinary people, heaters require the participation of magic technicians.

Even if Lamani and others double the money, it is difficult to meet the needs of everyone with the current production capacity of the Tower of Time. As for the heater, Xia Duo is only going to give away a part of it, and it is right to advertise.

……

Arranging Lamani to temporarily live in the floating city, Xia Duo immediately came to the government affairs office of Linshui Village, found him in Leiden's office, and talked about the assistance to the territories of the three planes of Tianshui.

"What do you think about foreign aid?"

"I think the lord is doing the right thing. Foreign aid is also a favorable window for our Great Xia Territory to demonstrate the superiority of the Great Xia order to the outside world. I urge Cade to step up on this matter."

"I don't worry about your work, but you must also remember that whether it is winter clothes or food, we must first ensure the basic needs of our own territory, and the excess can be included in the list of aid supplies."

"Yes, I understand."

"At a decisive time, there may be envoys from the lord who come to seek assistance to the territory. I will let them connect with you, and try to show them the new order and new atmosphere of the territory when the opportunity arises."

"Yes."

……

After leaving Layton, Xia Duo was not in a hurry to return to the laboratory, anyway, it was not a day or two away, and Lamani just came over, and Grian also came over.

These two can be regarded as the potential allies that Xia Duo pre-arranged to be the most tonal allies for him. Like Ramani, Grian also gave up the territory of the three planes of Sweet Water and actively embraced the main plane.

In fact, this is also the choice of most of the three-dimensional councilors, and only a very few cling to the tiny land of three melons and two dates on the three-dimensional surface of Tianshui.

The main reason why Xia Duo really agreed with and tried to accept Lamani and Grian was because of their respective inclinations - to recognize and support the openness and popularization of magic, and to recognize and support the basic rights of ordinary people.

In other words, this is a lord with a classical style. The lord of the third plane of Tianshui is better than the lord of the main plane in these two aspects.

But each has its own emphasis. Lamani and Grian are the two closest to Xia Duo. Of course, the others are also potential allies, but they still need to work together.

Even Lord Nether on the main plane can become Xia Duo's ally as long as he is willing to accept the order of Great Xia.

It's like Vader, one of Shadow's confirmed allies now, but Vader's thinking is closer to elitism, and he values ​​​​magic itself too much, so that he ignores the human factor, thus falling into the misunderstanding of technologicalism.

Xia Duo's attitude towards Vader is to seek the same existence first, and then influence the other party as much as possible in the contact between the two parties. Now, at least in the foreseeable future, there will be no conflicts between the two parties that are difficult to bridge.

Perhaps it was because Lamani had greeted him, and when Grian came over, he also mentioned the matter of overwintering assistance, and of course Xia Duo agreed as well as before.

As for the three members of Tianshui who came later, they also mentioned the matter of assistance, but at this time Xia Duo did not agree on the spot, but said that he would try his best to prepare.

This is of course the differential treatment of potential allies.

……

In about a day, Xia Duo received almost most of the councilors from the three planes of Tianshui. It was somewhat surprising that so many people came to him, especially some of whom he had not even invited before.

But still came.

Of course, there are only a small number of people asking for help, because currently only a very small number of lords and councilors have started to relocate people to build new homes, and most of them will wait until the beginning of next spring, so that they can be resolved in one year.

Instead of worrying about leading the people to survive the winter like Lamani and Grian.

Even if those people had to consider the overwintering of the lords, and had a year to buffer, they could prepare more calmly than the few lords such as Lamani.

The reason why Lamani and Grien are so eager to relocate people to build new homes, Xia Duo also communicated with them, is mainly because there are too many people in the third plane of Tianshui, with over 700 million people!

We must know that the original population of Netheril on the main plane was only more than 1000 million, and the 700 million people on the three planes of Tianshui, at least half of them had to be migrated out, because the carrying capacity of those three planes was close to the limit.

Human beings need the necessary environment to survive and reproduce normally. If the space is too small, the fertility rate will drop. In addition, food also needs a certain amount of surplus space to increase the fault tolerance rate, otherwise a reduction in production may lead to unbearable disasters.

In the past, the Seven Towers were mainly responsible for this aspect. Although the Seven Towers restricted the connection between the three planes of Tianshui and the main plane, the internal management of the planes was still possible.

Now that the three planes are independent, each lord needs to be responsible for his own profits and losses in the future. The development of the small plane is limited after all, which is why most of the three planes of parliament choose to give up the main plane that has a heavy warehouse in the territory there. reason.

Of course, the collegial meeting of the parliament and the unwritten agreement when signing the new covenant were also one of the reasons.

For Lamani and Grian, it is very important to move out first to develop first. As long as the basic environment of the territory is established first, they can even recruit more when other people move their territories. lead the people.

For ordinary people, it is better to join a territory with a ready-made foundation in all aspects than to start from scratch in an unfamiliar environment.

It is not unfounded for Leiden to recruit more than 20 people in the three planes of Tianshui at one time. If it is not for Xia Duo's unwillingness to break the tacit agreement and considering the placement problem, even more can be recruited.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the three planes of Tianshui have a limited future. Only by returning to the main plane can there be broader development. The difference is whether to join the main plane's lord's territory or follow the original lord to open up a new home.
