In fact, the loot was distributed according to everyone's contribution during the battle, so the rat men and tauren together only took away about 7% of the loot, and the bulk belonged to the human side.
So after taking care of the rat men and the tauren, it was time for Lawrence to arrange the use of this large sum of wealth.
Fortunately, because he had established friendly relations with many forces before, the subsequent distribution of the spoils was not too difficult.
For example, for a territory like this, the hoarding of some items is also very important. Therefore, some of the excess marine specialties can be exchanged for other extraordinary materials to enrich the island's material reserves.
It is not difficult to dispose of the various marine jewelry and works of art that make up the majority of the loot. Except for a small part that is kept as a front for the nobles at the strong request of Saphiel, the remaining part will be sent to the lighter factory.
There is a reserve of raw materials, and part of it will be realized through the family's relationships.
One of the largest realizations came from the empire. After spending half a month communicating and sending an artwork worth 50,000 federal dollars as a tribute to His Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Visby Empire, another 30,000 pieces of jewelry were given to each of them.
After recruiting some friends of the family, Lawrence was allowed to secure a five-year, interest-free loan of $8.5 million from the Royal Bank with $7 million worth of loot as collateral.
While the retainers who stayed behind in the empire were busy running for this batch of trophies, Lawrence was also busy on Sauer Island. However, what he needed to be busy with was mainly about the newly brought back recently.
Various resettlement tasks for 30,000 Loka fish people.
Recruiting these Loka fish people is generally a very good idea. Not to mention that it is a humanitarian aid to help innocent people, which is a commendable thing. After these Loka fish people settle down,
If it can bring enough benefits in anticipation, it will be enough to make people happy.
After all, Lawrence's territory is an island, so once there are some intelligent marine creatures under his command, they will naturally be able to be thoroughly exploited by the surrounding sea area.
At least those in the Agricultural Church believe that with the help of these Loka fish people, they will be able to conduct a thorough investigation of the surrounding underwater environment and experiment with developing circular agriculture underwater.
But this does not mean that Lawrence and the others can have a lot of leisure in their work. At least for Lawrence and the others, these nearly 30,000 Loka fish-men basically equaled 30,000 mouths to eat in a short period of time.
After all, unlike on land, Lawrence and the others had never considered building any infrastructure on the surrounding seabed before, so the Loka fish people had to rebuild their territory from a wilderness, and Lawrence only had the power to do so in this regard.
Very little help can be provided to them.
This also means that at least in the past few months, the Loka fish people who have traveled long distances here with Lawrence and the others need to work hard with the help of Lawrence and the others to try to recover in the shortest possible time.
The production capacity of the Loka fish people.
"We can temporarily build a temporary settlement inside the bay." At the first meeting on this aspect, Lawrence said publicly, "The sea area needed for ships in the bay is not particularly large, and the bay's
The area is large enough to accommodate all the Loka fish people."
"The terrain of this place is indeed a good temporary camp for us." The representative of the Loka fishmen said with a green face.
"But you don't need to prepare too many supplies for us in the temporary camp here, because there is a river here, so the salinity of the water is not suitable for our survival. Therefore, we can only stay here for three months at most.
It is necessary to waste materials on this."
"Oh, so that's it!" Lawrence nodded thoughtfully, then motioned to one of his adjutants to take out a map and handed it to the green face.
"By the way, this is the map of the surrounding seafloor that we investigated before. You can use this as a basis for your investigation, which should save you a lot of trouble."
"Thank you for your help." The green face took the map from Lawrence's hand and looked at it carefully, then pointed to a location on the map and said. "I think we will organize a group of people to go to this fishing ground to carry out hunting activities today.
It may be possible to resume some food production within a short period of time."
"I think it's hard for you to provide food for everyone just by fishing." Lawrence said at this time, and then took out a new map from the priest of the Agricultural Church next to him.
"So I think if you are willing, I would like to hire some of you to do some work for me. After you have wages, you can buy various items."
"Is it hunting sea beasts, or entrusting a search for a certain seabed?" After hearing what Lawrence said, the green face immediately thought of the most common things that land creatures hire them for. Or to be precise, it was the same with them and humans before.
I have dealt with it before, so I have experienced similar things.
Of course he knows that this kind of work is often accompanied by a lot of casualties, but now that the other party has spent a lot of money to save his entire race, Green Face feels that they, the Loka fish people, should also make some contributions, even if there are
He would not hesitate to sacrifice anything. Otherwise, he would find it difficult to integrate into the new environment.
"Of course we have a duty to do these tasks - is this?" Green Face said, looking at the document handed over by Lawrence, and was surprised to find that the task assigned to them was neither hunting sea beasts nor searching a certain seabed.
Instead, just have them plant a series of seagrass and seaweed close to the shoreline.
"It's actually like this. The work we ask you to do for us is related to the planting industry. I think you should know whether there are more or less fish in a certain place and the water in the area during your long time living on the seabed.
There is a positive correlation between the plants below——"
After Lawrence nodded, the priest of the Agricultural Church immediately explained to Green Face and the others.
The priest of the Agricultural Church began to explain the knowledge about circular agriculture to this group of Loka fish people. However, this suddenly made the green face of Green Face become even greener.
Because the human language skills of Green Face are very average, daily conversations are okay, but when faced with such professional content, they are obviously a bit blind.
The human language skills of other fishmen are even worse, and they cannot handle even slightly complex daily conversations. Listening to this kind of professional report is naturally like listening to a heavenly book. Therefore, the priest of the Agricultural Church's speech has only started for less than ten minutes.
Lawrence found that all the Loka fishmen had their eyes straightened, and they looked like they were out of their minds.
"Okay, let me translate next." Looking at the increasingly confused expressions of the Loka fishmen opposite who were just beginning to understand human language, Lawrence could only temporarily stop the passionate priest of the Agricultural Church from speaking.
He made a speech, and then turned to look at the fish people.
"Of course, you should try your best to learn human language in the future. After all, we will be living together for a long time in the future, and a language barrier will be very troublesome."
"Of course, we will try our best to learn human language in the future." Green Dot smiled sheepishly at Lawrence. The reason why they learned human language is also very simple. That is because the body structure of the two parties is obviously different.
Fishmen can easily learn human language, but it is difficult for humans except extraordinary people to learn their language.
After roughly spreading the knowledge about circular agriculture to this group of Loka fish people in the simplest and most understandable language, the enthusiasm of the Loka fish people was immediately boosted.
Because judging from the future that Lawrence painted for them, this future is far brighter than the life that their ancestors lived before.
