Chapter 320 The Odins will never surrender unless they are provided with food and housing!
Time will gradually heal the traces of the past, and history will always be written by the victors.
Unknowingly, more than a month had passed since the fall of the Pachinia tribe. The nomadic tribe that had thrived on this land for decades disappeared from this world forever.
It didn't cause a ripple in the calm eastern highlands.
No matter who is missing, life will always go on.
so……
East of the Hobbs River, in the southwest corner of the Eastern Highlands,
The Hobbs Harbor Concession established by the Idar people replaced the original Pachinia tribe and became a brand new force in the eastern highlands.
In fact, scenes such as the collapse of tribes and annexation of tribes occur on this land every year.
However, the plot this time is slightly different...
The time was a little shorter, only one night.
The newly rising power is no longer the nomadic tribes living on this land, but the Idar people from the south.
The Idar people possess great strength, which is a consensus reached by the nomadic tribes in the eastern highlands long ago.
After the Pacinian tribe was wiped out in one fell swoop, no one dared to question the legitimacy of the Treaty of Valens, nor would anyone stop the Idar people from exploring the mines.
Therefore, under the protection of Idar soldiers, the exploration team led by Good Knight began to explore the mineral veins again.
However, this exploration operation did not last long, because Goodnight discovered traces of mineral veins after successively exploring two marked locations.
He did not continue the exploration, but returned to Hobbs Port as soon as possible and reported the news to Mal Cullen.
It's still the same old problem, lack of manpower.
Unlike the abundant labor resources in the Principality of Idar, the Idar people have extremely limited manpower on this land because they are new arrivals.
Apart from soldiers, there were very limited civilian craftsmen, and all of them were invested in the construction of Hobbs Harbor.
Even if other mineral veins are explored at this time, the Principality of Idar does not have enough manpower to dig. It is better to stop the exploration to prevent it from becoming a wedding dress for these nomadic tribes living on this land.
It is unrealistic to transport people to this land one by one. The Principality of Idar is also undergoing a large-scale infrastructure construction. The ships that can sail on the sea are always filled with various supplies, and there is no place to stuff people.
In order to solve this problem, Mal Kallen naturally turned to the Odin people.
In this period of more than a month, the labor ability of the Odin people has been fully tested.
Regardless of men, women, old or young, all prisoners from the Pachinian tribe were sent to the mines by Mal Caron.
He even followed the gourd's example and organized these Odin slaves into dozens of production teams, using the work-point system popular in the Principality of Idar to stimulate the labor enthusiasm of these Odin slaves.
It was in these Odin slaves that Mal Cullen seemed to see the source of labor for Hobbs Port for a long time to come.
Since the Idar people can't use it, let's recruit the Odin civilians living in this land!
The men of Odin are all tough guys. Although their intelligence level is questionable, they are definitely good at using their strength. The women of Odin are all violent and fierce shrews.
In Mal Carew's view, this is simply a natural coolie template!
And as time goes by, the Odin people living in this land have gradually accepted the existence of the Idar people.
Because this Idar Concession in Hobbs Harbor provides great convenience for the survival of the Odin tribe!
It is difficult for the Odin tribe in the eastern highlands to be self-sufficient. They need to purchase iron cavalry, wine, some food, etc. from the outside world.
Before this, the people of Odin could only exchange the necessities of life through transactions with traveling businessmen.
It's just that the time intervals and round-trip routes of these business trips are uncertain, which makes the Odin people living on this land have to hoard a large amount of supplies, and even cause conflicts and looting between tribes.
Now, the establishment of Hobbs Port has provided the Odin people with a brand new trading location and trading channel.
The concession of the Idar people is there. It is not like a caravan that can slip away at any time. The ships that go between the Principality of Idar and Hobbs Port will transport a large amount of living materials and supplies by sea every few days.
Cargo merchandise.
Although the construction of Hobbs Port has just begun, trade with the Odin people has already begun.
Because this not only allows the Idar people to make money, but also facilitates the lives of these Odin tribes to a great extent, so...in the eyes of these Odin tribes, the Idar people do not seem to be so disgusting.
And this also provided Mal Cullen with the opportunity to recruit miners.
“We’re hiring, we’re hiring!”
"The Idar people's mines want to recruit miners! Not only will they be provided with food and accommodation, but they will also be paid on time!"
After Mal Caron made up his mind, Idar soldiers began to shout loudly near the newly formed market in Hobbs Port.
There is no way, the announcement definitely does not exist, per capita prenatal education is the current situation of the entire Odin Empire.
Even among the senior generals of the Odin Empire, there are many people who don't know how to spell, let alone the low-level Odin people who come to buy supplies.
But let’s not talk about it, the conditions offered by the Idar people are actually quite tempting.
Even though those nomadic tribes have a large number of sheep and cattle, those wealth belong to the tribal chiefs and a few high-level tribes, and have nothing to do with ordinary tribe members.
These ordinary tribal members were just like the lower-class people of the Norman Empire. It was common for them to suffer from hunger, and their living conditions were even worse than those of the common people of the Norman Empire.
Therefore, the word "food and shelter included" almost immediately hit the most vulnerable position in the hearts of these Odin civilians.
The people of Odin will never surrender unless they have food and shelter!
You must know that compared with the farming economy of the Norman Empire, the nomadic economy of the Odin Empire is actually more fragile.
The characteristics of the nomadic economy are that it is unstable and not sustainable, and tribes need to constantly migrate.
This characteristic of the nomadic economy is actually one of the reasons why the Odin Empire continues to raid south.
If life is really unbearable, who would be willing to rush to the battlefield one by one?
And now,
Although the fall of the Pachinia tribe is still a hurdle that many Odin people cannot get over, but... the food and accommodation included really sounds delicious!
