"The big plan has completed the first phase, and the second phase is about to begin."
After waking up from a few days of partying, Snorri sat in the office and resumed work. When he first crossed over, he set the goal to first build a territory for himself, and then develop it well, and wait until he had accumulated enough strength to move on.
To recapture Karak-Eight Peaks Mountain and the surrounding fortresses.
After that, we will deal with the threat of the Skaven through several battles, push back into the Chaos Wasteland before Archaon - the Everchosen goes south, close the Chaos portals at both ends, and save the world from the clutches of the Chaos Gods.
"What do I need to do in the first step of the second major stage?"
Snorri shook the pen, sat up straight and started writing on the scratch paper on the table. He suspected that this seat was the predecessor of the Throne of Power. The chair carved out of stone was uncomfortable to sit on, and there was a fixed distance between it and the table.
It also forced him to straighten his body.
"Population, I want everything, dwarves, humans, and the indigenous people of the South. Those Pygmies also need to be mobilized to at least be self-sufficient."
Snorri muttered as he wrote. He felt that it was necessary to set a deadline for his plan. This deadline could not be too long or too short.
Five years seems good. The country in his previous life and many similar works will choose five years as a planning cycle.
"In the first five years, I want to move as many people as possible into the southern world's edge mountains and at the same time achieve self-sufficiency in food."
Now he has all warriors under his command, and his food supply is purely supplemented by hunting and gathering, except for external transportation. Once the connection is cut off, everyone will immediately fall into the situation of hunting rabbits. No lord who has ideas and wants to achieve something can't accept it.
at this point.
"I will also build the road in the next five years, from Plateau Fort to Hongyun Mountain, plus the section of desert from Hongyun Mountain to Kuata." Snorri went on to write,
"If you want to get rich, build roads first." This is also the truth of the past life. Convenient transportation is a necessary condition for getting rich, and it can also drive the prosperity of other industries. The inflow of population and the export of goods are closely related to transportation.
More important than these is safety. If Hongyun Mountain is attacked and Master Nathan sends a message to Snorri asking for help, but the reinforcements have to march for a month to arrive, it will undoubtedly be a terrible thing.
“What should I fix?”
Snorri tugged at his beard. According to the dwarf tradition, he undoubtedly wanted to clean up the leyline network. But he was obviously not a traditional dwarf, and he also walked on two legs in the leyline network, but it was relatively easier to walk.
"We should still build railways. Although the cost is high, the benefits are in the present generation and will be beneficial to the future." Snorri thought. In fact, he always thought that the dwarves could build the subway. The earth network was so wide that it was more than enough to build the railway tracks.
However, the distance between Eternal Peak and several large fortresses around it - Riptide Pass, Haimen Pass, and Butcher's Fort - is within an acceptable range on foot. It is also the hinterland of the Mountain Kingdom, and the conservative forces are the most powerful. These have increased
Resistance to building railways.
Another key point in building railway tracks on this section of the road is that the original mountains were destroyed by the great earthquake and became the Lost Plateau. Of course, the leyline network in it also collapsed. Compared with re-excavating tunnels, it is undoubtedly necessary to lay railway tracks on the ground.
The amount of work is smaller.
"Now that Xiudu has been repaired, it is not far from Hongyun Mountain to Kuata. However, the difficulty in this section is not the distance, but the need to clean up the ownerless undead in the Coffin Canyon. This can be left to the adventurers, and it is also a good idea.
An opportunity to attract people.”
Snorri said, changing a piece of paper and writing down the key points of the first five-year plan.
"On the issue of population migration, if you want people of all ethnic groups in the old world to travel thousands of miles to come here to develop, you must have a policy that is attractive enough."
He felt that this was like issuing commandments after controlling an entire province in the game. The commandments that dwarves can choose in the game include Lord of Iron and Stone - reducing construction and recruitment costs; Reverence of the Ancestors - increasing public order and reducing erosion; Tribute to the High King -
Increases lord income and empowers guilds - increases development and trade volume.
But it is obvious that reality is not as simple and direct as in the game, and it is unrealistic to implement administrative orders with one click. Snorri analyzed that there are three main factors that affect population immigration.
The first is the natural environment factors. Climate, fresh water, soil, mineral deposits, natural disasters, etc. Almost no one would choose to move to an uninhabitable place. In this regard, the southern edge of the world has not suffered much damage in the mountains for thousands of years.
It has quite an advantage,
The second is economic factors. In most cases, population migration is in pursuit of better economic income and thus a better standard of living. Snorri's territory has vast arable land and many mineral deposits that are easy to develop.
In most of the dwarf fortresses in the old world, after thousands of years of intensive development, those who wanted to find decent ore workers had to go underground to an unacceptable distance, or else they had to leave the fortress and risk their lives.
Explore outside.
Snorri believes that as long as they are willing to come and accept the pain of not being able to keep up with all aspects of supporting facilities in the initial stage, their economic income will definitely increase significantly.
In order to encourage more population migration, Snorri and his staff need to formulate preferential policies and publicize them widely in the old world. Snorri decided to hold a meeting to discuss this part later, because "degree" is very important.
Although his reputation has now reached its peak among the dwarf nations, many people in the Knight Kingdom of Bretonnia also sing his story. But which lord with brains doesn't know the importance of population?
Once Snorri's preferential treatment is excessive, it will inevitably arouse the resentment of the lords. If they not only fail to cooperate with the propaganda but also obstruct those who want to migrate, it will become difficult to immigrate the population.
Even if they really don't care, the influx of overpopulation will increase Snorri's logistical pressure before it becomes difficult to be self-sufficient. If this problem is not handled well, the reputation will drop significantly.
"Notify it and convene a civil service meeting!"
Snorri shouted outside the office. There was no communication button like the one in Thorgreen's office, and he could only communicate his orders in traditional ways.
Soon Balin and several of his men came to the office. Snorri followed the tradition of this world in appointing officials, simply dividing them into two classes, civil and military, and then specializing in special tasks. The dwarf society has a small population, so there is no need to raise officials.
I can't afford a complicated team.
The specific affairs of various industries such as blacksmithing, masonry, and agricultural product production will be taken care of by the president of the guild. The dwarf lord usually serves as both the general and the judge. In the current situation of Isnorri, the priest is undoubtedly also the one he holds concurrently.
