The overall atmosphere of the negotiation was very good, because the development of Blue Mountain Meadow was obviously a matter that benefited everyone. In addition, all of Lawrence's previous actions showed that he was indeed a very fair person who dealt with problems basically.
All discussions are based on the facts and do not favor certain people or groups.
Therefore, in this negotiation, everyone is based on the idea of trying to achieve perfect cooperation as the basis of the negotiation, and discussing matters as much as possible. Naturally, there is not much intrigue that is common in negotiations elsewhere. Therefore,
The entire negotiation process seemed to go very smoothly, and a framework was established in just two or three hours.
The rat people really need that grassland to breed their big jerboas, especially those elite jerboas that can be trained into rat cavalry mounts. Obviously, it is impossible to train the kind of jerboa that can walk over mountains and rivers as easily as on flat ground in a cave.
Rat cavalry, so it is very important to have a piece of grassland for grazing.
At the same time, for the rat people, with such a meadow, in addition to cultivating enough giant jerboas, they can also raise cattle and sheep, and harvest a certain number of trees. This will provide the rat people with leather, dairy products, wood, etc.
Things that are difficult to produce in these caves are much cheaper than importing them from outside the island.
The ratmen can obviously draw more troops than the human legion. After all, they only need to use the terrain to guard the mountain range. They do not need to guard the dozens of settlements on the entire island and the surrounding sea areas like humans do. Therefore, with
As the surrounding rat people immigrated to the island, they were able to devote a lot of manpower to the management of this meadow.
"We are able to dedicate 650 ratmen to the development work. These people have received basic combat training and are equipped with corresponding equipment." Fatina finally said. "In addition, our existing 35 jumpers
The Rat Cavalry will be fully committed to this work to provide everyone with a reliable enough reconnaissance force."
"Very good." Lawrence nodded with satisfaction. Although the number of professional combatants sent by the rat people is really a bit small, considering that the great jerboa cavalry of the rat people is a type of cavalry that is as famous as the top human champion knights, so
From an overall perspective, their efforts are not much different from others.
According to the results of the final negotiations, the three parties will establish a comprehensive animal husbandry and forestry company targeting the Blue Mountain Meadows. Since Lawrence is the lord of the island and has invested the largest amount in this development activity, he is the most important person in this company.
Hold 50% of the shares, and the remaining 50% is divided equally between the rat people and the tauren.
"I hope our cooperation this time can achieve a perfect result." Lawrence said at the banquet after the negotiation, holding a wine glass filled with mead in his hand. Because it was a bit troublesome to confirm the details in the negotiation,
So after the negotiation, it was naturally evening. Seeing this, Fatina simply prepared a sumptuous dinner in the hall of the cave.
"Definitely." All the people present raised their wine glasses at the same time and said, and then each drank the wine in the glass, and then everyone began to eat. In order to entertain Lawrence and the others, Fatina's people
It can be said that the rat cooks have tried their best, and although the dishes they cook are different from those commonly eaten by humans and tauren, it can be said that they are all unique and delicious.
For example, baked jerboa legs, jerboa meat braised in red wine plus mushrooms, and a kind of small dessert made from starch taken from a certain fungus mixed with fruit. Maybe the only thing that makes people feel regretful is these things
The Rat Man characteristics are too strong, so many dishes seem a little tough when eating.
Of course, the only ones who think the dishes are a bit tough are the humans. Fortunately, the humans present are all young people? Is it because their teeth are pretty good? Everyone can still appreciate these delicious foods. Not to mention that the other side has better teeth.
The tauren came to visit, and they even praised it loudly while eating.
"It's a pity that because of the problem of the territory, the output of these things is just enough for us to eat. Basically, it cannot be transported outside." After hearing the praise of the Tauren, all the Rats present showed a rather proud expression. Then Fatina said a little.
He said with regret. "But if we can successfully develop the Blue Mountain meadow, I think we should be able to expand production."
"Yes? It should be possible to expand reproduction." Lawrence looked at the stone wall of the cave and said. Although the group of rat people had enough strength to dig a hole in the hard rock mountain and build a self-sufficient mountain bunker. But obviously from
In terms of cost? Most agricultural production costs in such places are much higher than outside.
In the next two or three days, Lawrence took Seifer and a three-party joint team to the Blue Mountain Meadow for close reconnaissance. It was a little different from what he imagined. This so-called meadow was not just a meadow.
It is a slightly undulating grassland, but an entire independent geological unit composed of a series of complex terrains such as forests, grasslands, rivers, mountains, and canyons.
According to the results of the investigation, one of the main reasons why the goblins here have become such a problem is that the complex terrain here is too convenient for these things to hide. Although the emperor goblins on the plains can be said to be invincible
Even Lawrence and his investigation team successfully killed two large tribes of more than 500 people. But after those scattered goblins fled into the mountains and forests, it would be difficult for even extraordinary beings like Lawrence and others to find them.
"Unless I stay here permanently, you will never be able to clear out the goblins in the surrounding woods." In the end, Nora took action and completely eliminated the fleeing goblins, but when she flew out of the forest, she
His face also became a little ugly. "The terrain inside is too complicated, and the goblins are obviously more adapted to the woods than us."
"It is indeed possible for you to temporarily join the cleanup team? But theoretically speaking, it is impossible to stay here permanently." Lawrence shook his head. "Because the construction of this area still depends on ordinary people. If this is not possible, I think
There is not much point in persisting here. And I believe everyone should be able to come up with a solution."
Sure enough? After completing the two-day inspection work, everyone quickly came up with a plan during the discussion. That is to mix all the people regardless of race, and then divide them into grazing groups of 30-50 people. Such a
The group is guaranteed to be able to successfully defeat a horde of goblins three times its own size in any situation.
Under such circumstances? They can successfully block the small groups of intruding goblins. The large groups of goblins will be blocked from the outside of the plain by the regular military fortresses. In theory, such a double-layer defense network should
This will allow the three-party joint company to successfully establish a foothold on this meadow.
As for the other areas, Lawrence does not plan to expand in the next few years? The reason is also very simple? Because the remaining grasslands are basically small pieces of plains distributed in mountainous basins? Even if they are occupied now, they are short of manpower.
It can't be fully utilized, so it's better to just leave it there. At most, some people will be sent to clean it up from time to time to prevent the growth of goblins.
After the reconnaissance of the Blue Mountain Meadow is completed, the first step of this plan is over. Next, it will take a period of time to collect various materials, supplies and munitions. So Lawrence and Saifei
I didn’t wait there for a while, but continued my journey.
Finally, ten days later, Lawrence and the others felt that they had had enough fun, so they rode back to New Sauerport. As soon as they returned to the city, they saw a red flag suddenly raised on the lighthouse, representing warning.
