After leaving Ningshuang Port, Ino took the ice elemental mages who felt something from their thoughts and went south along the original road, passing through Frozen Tide Port, Broken Ice Port, and Boreal Port, and finally returned to Forsbarrow smoothly.
Half of the 11th group of fifty-four ice mages stayed in Freljord - don't get me wrong, they did not sacrifice, but stayed in Frostport in the form of an intelligence team.
Tide Harbor, Broken Ice Harbor and Boreal Harbor.
At the beginning of each month, the Iva Line will patrol this road and send the key information they collected back to Forsbarrow. These four strongholds are the intelligence information of Forsbarrow in Freljord.
Dedicated line.
In addition, the returned Ino also brought back a quite sincere trade agreement. If everything goes well, by the beginning of spring, Fosbairo will be able to send the first caravan north to Ningshuang Port for trading.
Got it!
While waiting for the arrival of spring, Forsbarrow had enough time to collect and purchase materials for trading.
On the other hand, at Forsbarrow, Lux's social studies project finally took shape.
In the capital, Lady Ogsha sent back the news. At this point, Lux finally had a good idea of the scale and industry of Demacia's fur trade.
On this basis, she also had an estimate of the amount of fur that Forsbarrow's trade could accept - and on this basis, Lux also ambitiously thought of expanding the fur processing industry and launching the Forsbarrow fur brand
, building a fashion design center in Forsbarrow and other aspects, and really started to work on it.
However, unlike the smooth sailing of the negotiation journey on Ino's side, Lux encountered some minor problems on Forsbarrow's side.
She had gone deep into Orion families to learn about the issues in the fur processing industry, but she learned that “you have to take care of your children at home, and you can’t just work in the factory like a miner’s family. If the Earl wants to process furs, he needs to go directly to the factory.”
Just give it to me, I have a unique secret recipe."
The launch of the Forsbello fur brand is good, because when she returns to the capital, she can design a suit of stunning fur for herself, attract attention in the name of a noble model, and create a trend to some extent.
But regarding the issue of the fur clothing design center, Lux found out awkwardly that even if she showed her name, even if Xiongdu's Art Support Association went out with all its strength, she was willing to come to the north to give it a try, and she was willing to show off her skills in Forsbarrow.
There are still very few people.
It is not easy to live in Xiongdu, but even if they stay in Xiongdu to paint for the caravans from various places that come here every year, even if they participate in the soundtrack of weddings and weddings here, even if they work as tailors here, most of the artists in Xiongpiao are not willing to go to Fuzhou.
Sparrow.
No one likes the bitter cold in the North. After the news about Lux was passed on by the Art Support Association, only a few people who were born in the North would pack their bags after thinking about it.
Lux, who was full of ambitions, suffered a heavy blow in the face of reality - to be honest, she felt that her plan had no problems, but when it was actually carried out, it was full of difficulties and was not feasible.
It was precisely for this reason that when Kalya came back and asked about the results of her homework after class, Lux looked quite depressed.
"I originally thought this would bring amazing development to Forsbarrow." She pursed her lips and recounted her plan with some grievances. "I investigated the large amount of furs that the Freljord might bring.
Forsbarrow and even the entire Demacia fur industry intends to integrate and upgrade in the same way as in Zaun."
"There is no problem with the idea, but there are difficulties in the process?"
"That's right, the people of Forsbarrow can't understand the unified treatment I proposed, and there are not many people in Xiongdu who can design furs who are willing to come to Forsbarrow." Lux lowered her head deeply, her golden
His long hair seemed to have dimmed, "I seemed to have a whim. Obviously they all respect me and are willing to believe me, but the development of this matter is completely different from what I imagined."
"This is normal, Lux." Kalya did not make any sarcastic remarks this time, but comforted softly in a rather gentle tone, "This is not a whim, it's just that I didn't grasp some of the processes well."
Lux blinked, seeming a little uncomfortable with Kalya's relief.
"Let's talk about it one question at a time." Kalya said in a relaxed tone, "Let's start with Forsbarrow's fur processing industry."
Lux nodded, and Ino, who was listening, was also thoughtful.
"According to what you said, you went deep among the hunters and really saw the way the Forsbarrow people process furs. You even tried it yourself. The hunters and their families are very kind to you, and you don't have too many problems.
Afraid, right?"
"That's right." Lacus nodded and replied, "But when I mentioned that we could build a factory to gather the furs together and process them uniformly, she said that this was fanciful. It was not as good as each company processing the furs and then processing them uniformly.
Good furs are sold uniformly.”
"What she said is very realistic, and it is the reality that Forsbarrow has experienced so far." Kalya commented, "According to what you said before, the life of this Orion family is not bad, right?"
Lux nodded.
"Then, why would a family with a pretty good life sell the furs they get from hunting to the fur processing factory in Forsbarrow at a lower price, as you said, and then the people who usually handle the furs,
Do you still have to go to work in a fur processing factory?" Kalya asked rhetorically, "They have no problems in their lives now and are very stable. Why do they need to spend time torturing themselves and then face a new and unfamiliar environment?"
"..."
Lux obviously can't answer this question, because although in her estimation, the efficiency of the new production method will be greatly improved, due to the impact of Freljord's furs, I am afraid that in terms of income, the improvement will be very limited, as
The lady who was enthusiastic about the northern border said that this was "pure nonsense".
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Now, do you understand where your problem is?" Kalya continued, "You are not standing in your plan, those who participated in the plan
From a human perspective, this is the key to the problem - from a direction point of view, your idea is very good, I just use this method myself, but when it comes to practical problems, there is not one
[Good ideas] can solve the problem.”
"So, the problem about fur designers is the same, right?" Lux pursed her lips, "Although their life in Xiongdu is not that good, they can at least live a good life with the help of the Art Support Association to find work.
They have to go down, so they are not willing to come to Forsbarrow and try completely unfamiliar possibilities."
"That's right." Kalya sounded pleased, and then changed the subject without warning, "How was the construction process of the artificial lake? Is it going well?"
"It went very smoothly, and the progress even exceeded expectations." When talking about this topic, Lux finally looked a lot happy, "Although the weather is getting colder, the enthusiasm of the Dharma Master's work has increased, and Sona organized several
During this concert, many people found their own hobbies after work."
"Then do you know why I mobilized all the Dharma Masters to build an artificial lake in the first winter when I first arrived?" Kalya continued to ask, "Have you ever thought about this problem?"
"We should make the Forsbarrow people believe that the magicians are trustworthy and let them understand that magic is not terrible, but a brand-new productivity."
"This is only part of it." Kalya chuckled, "More importantly, it will allow us to gain the trust of the Forsbarrow people and make them willing to truly accept us and truly accept the new order we bring, because we can
Facts have proved that the new order we brought is beneficial."
"So, if I want to realize my ideas, I must let the people involved in these ideas understand that doing so is better and more beneficial to everyone." Lux let out a long breath, "Use
The most direct and clear way!”
"That's right, you can't assume that everyone has received the same education as you and has the same vision as you." Kalya continued in a cowardly tone, "Since you have come into contact with civilians, you should
Understand that what everyone wants on a daily basis is nothing more than food and clothing, no illness or disaster, and a happy family life. That's all. Even Ino, what she hoped for at the beginning was just to become an excellent maid next to the "Light in the Light"
】That’s all…”
Ino, who was suddenly mentioned, widened his eyes helplessly.
After being manipulated by Tiana and leaving the Forbidden Prison, she really wanted to be the most reliable maid around Lux. The reason why she even accepted Kalya in the first place was because she hoped to gain a better understanding of him in this way.
Get closer to Lux.
Although in various subsequent experiences, Ino saw a wider world, and under the guidance of Kalya, he gradually understood and agreed with Lux's thoughts. Even when he thought of his past self, he felt silly and cute.
, when she was suddenly named directly by Kalya, she still fell into a daze on the spot, and then her toes clenched.
Teacher Kalya is good at everything, so why does he like to turn over old scores?
However, when she saw that Lux's mood was obviously much better, Ino finally narrowed her eyes.
Wait, could this be because Teacher Kalya... is not very good at comforting people?
Very possible!
……………………
After Lux got over her depression, Kalya went over all her plans with her in detail.
To sum it up, it can be summed up in one sentence: There is no problem with the idea, but the action is too hasty.
According to Kalja, if you want to concentrate your efforts on Forsbarrow and build a fur processing plant in Forsbarrow, you can't just rely on verbal mobilization. You need to import furs in large quantities from the Freljord first, and bring Forsbarrow to the forefront.
For fur, the price of fur must be lowered first.
At the same time, the site selection and preparation of the fur processing plant can be carried out simultaneously.
Then, wait until the hunters of Forsbarrow can no longer meet their daily income needs just by hunting and processing the furs obtained from hunting, and then start recruiting workers.
In this process, for the transformation of production methods from family workshops to factory workers, Lux also needs to mobilize the legal guardians to carry out publicity and provide technical training. Only in this way can Forsbarrow and others who are usually accustomed to
Orion families that process their own fur in the form of handicraft workshops accept the working methods of large-scale fur production and processing.
Even with the cooperation of the Freljord trade, this process will take at least two or three years. Moreover, in order to avoid the lowering of fur prices causing problems in the lives of the Forsbarrow Orions, Lux must also prepare during this period.
Other livelihood projects are designed to improve the basic living standards of the people of Forsbarrow as much as possible.
According to Kalja's plan, the fur industry and mining will become important pillar industries in Forsbarrow in the next period of time. However, before the two industries can truly become the economic engine of the northern border, the current situation of Forsbarrow's
The hunter family will encounter the pain caused by a reform.
However, thanks to the low level of Forsbarrow's natural economy and production, as long as Lux holds the Dharma Controller and carries out large-scale livelihood projects during the labor period to promote Forsbarrow's trade level, the hunter family will suffer.
Labor pain is, at most, stagnant.
"That is to say, in the next three years, the living standards of the herb collectors in Fosbello will increase rapidly, and some professional mages will focus on the domestication of rare plants." After listening to Kalya's story,
, Lux suddenly realized, "The furs imported from Freljord will have an impact on the local hunters of Forsbarrow, but because Forsbarrow's economy itself is developing, this impact will not
It will not make their lives difficult, it will only make them feel dissatisfied!"
"That's what I mean!" Seeing Lux understand what he meant, Kalya also let out a sigh of relief, "As a foreign lord, your base is currently the Archon, so you have to build large-scale projects through the Archon.
Your capabilities, as well as the business benefits you can bring to Fosbairo, allow Fosbairo to maintain development - and as long as Fosbairo maintains development, you can calmly schedule and upgrade the industry."
"As for the medicinal industry, industrial upgrading can be carried out together with technological progress!" Lux drew inferences, "Now many specialty plants in Forsbarrow can only grow naturally and be picked by medicinal collectors, but Group 77
The guardians of the group can provide them with different living environments. In the absence of external changes, the herb collectors can work with the guardians of the 77th group to explore the artificial domestication of these economic plants. In the process of exploration, little by little,
Be included in the new order!"
"That's it." After hearing this, Karya finally had a hint of relief in his tone, "The most important thing to avoid in reform is anxiety. The best way to solve problems and destroy the old order is to completely dissolve it in the new order.
This is true internal and external cultivation.”
"What about my homework this time?" Lux enjoyed this kind of acknowledging teaching very much, "Are your grades good?"
"I know my mistakes and can correct them, so I have done quite well, almost admirable." Faced with Lax's tone of praise, Kalya also picked up her most troublesome tone, "Dear noble model, Laxan
