Green Monster Epic
#414 - Unexpected windfall
Allen never imagined that after their joyful gathering one night, Bilaire would seek out Allen, Janrui, and others the following afternoon to hold the first meeting after the establishment of their 'Ring of Thorns'.
The true purpose of the meeting was even more shocking to Allen, because at this gathering led by Bilaire, the host generously injected another huge amount of assets, covering the previous 5% of Nasir Fortress's income, Bilaire injected 10% of the Kotor Fortress's income into their group in one go.
If calculated based on the total income of the canyon that Bilaire told Allen and the others, this 10% income would mean that their team could obtain more than 100,000 gold coins worth of funds and materials from the canyon every year.
If the income from Nasir Fortress only made Allen and the others feel tempted, then Bilaire's reinvestment this time was enough to truly impress Janrui, Zorf, and the three major tribes behind them.
The rich income of Kotor Canyon was secondary; at the same time, the superior geographical environment of the canyon itself actually brought many other conveniences. For example, the Ajina Jia tribe, which controlled the throat, had relied on the canyon over the years to obtain many precious magical plants and metals from passing merchants that other tribes found difficult to collect.
If other tribes wanted to entrust powerful merchants in the four major civilization systems to collect precious plants, metals, props, etc. for them, most people would ignore them. Occasionally, if they agreed, they would deliberately raise the price, causing the major tribes to spend huge costs in vain to obtain some urgently needed things. However, the Ajina Jia tribe was different. Even if they asked other cooperative merchants to collect rare materials and props from the two continents, the other party would often readily agree because they also needed to maintain a good relationship with the Ajina Jia tribe. Otherwise, as long as the Ajina Jia tribe deliberately made things difficult, it would bring many inconveniences to the caravan's travel.
Unlike other tribes, if passing merchants wanted to detour, there would always be one or several suitable options, but the Kotor Mountains, which straddled the east and west of the trade route, made it extremely difficult for even large caravans to detour, and it would take more time and energy, which was completely not worth the loss.
Of course, Allen and Janrui would definitely not know that the 10% income that their team was about to receive actually came from the Oak Church's original income, not from the Ajina Jia tribe. Therefore, after Bilaire proposed this shocking decision, in return, Janrui, Zorf, and others recognized Bilaire's temporary dominance over their small team.
Driven by interests, this meeting became more serious. After less perfunctory behavior than before, the few quickly constructed a rough framework for the current team, stipulating the rights and obligations that everyone should enjoy, etc. For this reason, the few stayed in Mur Fortress for several more days before writing these results on parchment paper in intense and serious discussions, and signing the names of several representatives.
They were all powerful people in their respective tribes. Although two of them were only deputy leaders of the tribe, their power was enough to reach an agreement with Bilaire and obtain the approval of their tribal leaders.
Afterwards, the few left happily, gaining an extra share of long-term and stable benefits for the tribe for nothing. Anyone would feel that they had made a profit. Although, according to the proportion, the major tribes might actually only get tens of thousands of gold coins, everyone understood the principle of a steady stream, so there was no need for others to point it out.
Allen was also preparing to leave, but Bilaire sincerely persuaded him to stay. After another in-depth exchange, Allen left with a look of excitement.
Allen never imagined that the real purpose of Bilaire leaving him behind this time was to take the initiative to give him another big gift. There was only one purpose, and that was to cheer for Bilaire in the Ring of Thorns team and support every decision he made. Of course, these decisions must not conflict with or damage the interests of Allen and his tribe.
This gift was a share (1%) of the annual income of the two fortresses controlled by the Ajina Jia tribe. Although the share was small, if Allen accepted it, it would be the largest and most stable source of income for the Green Field tribe in the future. In the foreseeable future, Allen's tribe would not be able to have any other income that could exceed this gift in a short period of time.
Faced with such a big gift, how could Allen refuse? Of course, he couldn't refuse. He was already an existence attached to the Ajina Jia tribe. Now, it was just a change of name to reality. Allen even hoped that such things could happen several more times, then he and his tribe would really make a fortune!!
However, at the same time, Allen finally saw how broad the minds and courage of the far-sighted leaders in the large tribes were. If it were the current Allen, he would never easily give away the benefits in his hands to an outsider, and the return would only be some illusory support.
After sending Allen away, Bilaire could finally breathe a sigh of relief at this time. This crisis had turned into an opportunity for his tribe in the end. The planning and planning required made Bilaire mentally exhausted, and he was not as calm and composed as he showed.
Although Bilaire generously sent out a lot of benefits from the canyon, if you really calculate it, their tribe not only did not lose anything, but also redeemed four shares of income that were originally taken away by Snomi.
The 10% income used to win over and buy several tribes to form a team was actually recovered by Bilaire from the Oak Church through facts and threats. Bilaire had never enjoyed it before, and now he didn't feel much heartache when he sent it out. On the contrary, because of this 10% income, the dominance of the newly formed Ring of Thorns team would be controlled by Bilaire for at least ten years. Although he might not be able to earn much profit, at least he could use this to deter Snomi and curb the expansion of the Church of Nature in the northern wilderness. No matter how you look at it, it was worth it.
A duel, taking advantage of the duel result, recovered 5 shares of income from Snomi. Although losing ten tribal warriors who had the opportunity to advance to legend was indeed heartbreaking, thinking about the difficulty of advancing to legend, exchanging ten tribal members for tens of thousands of gold coins of income every year was also a suitable choice.
The five shares of income that had just been obtained were finally distributed, and one share was given to the bear earth spirit compatriots of the Green Field tribe in exchange for his support. This was even more of an investment that Bilaire thought was the most worthwhile after some calculations.
Not to mention Allen's legendary strength, giving the other party this share of income, in the future, if there were really disputes and frictions between the Ajina Jia tribe and the Snomi tribe, as long as they didn't fight desperately, Allen, this legend, would probably advance and retreat with Bilaire. So-called friendship and marriage were not so stable, and the most stable thing was always interests. These were all summaries of Bilaire's life experience.
After the Ring of Thorns team was established, there was actually a drawback, that was, the relationship between the two lizardmen tribes was too close, which was not a good thing for the team. However, Bilaire urgently needed such a team to deter Snomi's aggressive steps, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it. At least, relying on the 10% of benefits he sent out, Argon and Amansa would still give him some face in a short period of time.
With Allen, this younger brother, in the team, cheering for him and supporting the various decisions he made, at least he could compete with the lizardmen. In addition, with the existence of the members of the Heart of the Wilderness and the Urok tribe, their small team formed an interesting tripartite situation.
At the same time, Allen, who was speeding along the edge of the Kotor Mountains, was also constantly turning his brain, digging deeper into the inside story from what he had seen and heard before, and outlining the original appearance of the whole thing little by little. Although he didn't actually pay much in this incident, the only trouble was probably that because he stood on the side of the Ajina Jia tribe, he might offend the Snomi tribe. This made Allen's original plan to ride the fence on both sides almost fail.
However, compared to the gains, this risk was completely not worth mentioning. Anyone with a normal mind would make the right choice like Allen.
After returning to the tribe several days later, Allen roughly understood the timing of their appearance at the Murr Fortress and the general intentions behind Beryl's generous actions.
"Chief, you are amazing!!"
The first thing Allen did upon returning to the tribe was to find Tony and Camellia, and recount to them the gains from this trip. After listening to Allen's account, Tony and Camellia, the two managers of the tribe's public treasury, both revealed deep respect and admiration in their eyes.
"Now that we have money, we can't just let it sit in the public treasury and grow mold; we still need to make it circulate!!"
After witnessing the infighting among the major tribes this time, Allen's biggest feeling was still the grand scale and powerful foundation of others. They could give away tens of thousands of gold coins in benefits, and sacrifice twenty high-level peak warriors without hesitation or heartache. At least, Allen didn't see much of that kind of emotion in their expressions.
Looking at his own tribe, among his peers, only Pavao and Flower Snake, who was out and hadn't returned, had reached the 15th-level high-level peak. The rest of his peers might not be able to reach this stage in their entire lives.
The new generation was a bit better. Cole had already advanced to the 15th level a few years ago and was now stuck at the threshold of the legendary path, unable to find her own path. A few days ago, she even came to Allen to ask for advice, inquiring about Allen's experience in embarking on the legendary path. However, Allen himself was very confused about this, so he couldn't give much useful experience. At most, he told Cole the knowledge that Oscar had once told him, as well as some of his own insights, and let her figure it out on her own.
Bush, Shusheng, Shisheng, Barrington, and these young people might all be able to advance to the 15th-level peak before the age of thirty, and then have more than ten years to slowly figure out and find their own legendary path.
But at best, among the entire tribe of more than 5,000 people, among the adult warriors, perhaps no more than thirty actually have the opportunity to advance to the high-level peak.
In the end, the foundation is still too shallow. In the early years, the tribesmen suffered too much hardship, and now that life is comfortable, the change in mentality is indeed a bit drastic. Many people have lost their original fighting spirit to forge ahead.
"Then what do you mean, Chief?"
Camellia asked curiously.
"I plan to reform the tribe's system again, so I'm here to find you today, so that you, the supervisors who are familiar with the public treasury's assets, can help me draft a feasible plan."
Before this, most of the tribe's assets and income were invested in the operation of the tribe. Whether it was unified procurement of the materials needed by the tribe, or spending huge sums of money to purchase slaves and shelter refugees, the tribe's already limited income was almost exhausted.
Allen's arrangement was indeed beneficial to the tribe as a whole, but it was somewhat harsh for the powerful warriors in the tribe. The warriors in the tribe all had heavy burdens on their shoulders. Although they didn't seem as hardworking as those townspeople who relied on labor to create various resources, most of the value they created was invested in the path of pursuing higher strength.
Now, if the tribesmen want to access and learn the knowledge in the inheritance crystal, they still need contribution points.
Over the years, according to the division of strength levels, in addition to the basic few learning opportunities per month for each person, if they want to continue to access and learn the knowledge in the inheritance, or ask the instructors arranged by the tribe for advice, they need to pay a certain amount of contribution points to achieve it.
The tribe's inheritance crystal is gradually enriched, but at the same time, the number of tribesmen is also increasing, so until now, the tribe has not had the idea of abolishing the contribution point system.
After all, the contribution point system plays an extremely important role in shaping the tribesmen's sense of belonging and identity to the tribe.
However, as the tribe's life is getting better and better, the motivation for the tribesmen to move forward is no longer sufficient. Since everyone can have a good life without too much hard work, then why should they go to the trouble of hard training, like being selected by Allen to go to Mansaxi Mountain for inhumane tempering now!!
The heartless and easy-going character of the wilderness natives has created their current poverty and backwardness; otherwise, they would not have been driven to the Wilderness Corridor by the four major civilizations to survive.
Even Allen himself, in fact, hasn't he been complacent because of the tribe's achievements today? The tribe has grown step by step from a small settlement of dozens of people to a medium-sized tribe with a population of more than 5,000. This achievement would definitely be the most proud thing in the life of an ordinary tribal leader.
However, when he saw the small conflict between Snowmi and Ajina, he didn't blink an eye and sacrificed twenty powerful warriors, and the generosity and courage to give away benefits worth a huge amount of money deeply shocked Allen, the somewhat proud and complacent hobgoblin.
"You understand the tribe's material situation, give me a list of which materials are most needed and consumed by a family in the tribe. Also, pay attention to what things the tribesmen are pursuing now and what kind of life they are enjoying."
"I plan to adjust the tribe's level system and increase subsidies for high-level warriors…"
Since the tribesmen's fighting spirit is weakening, it is naturally impossible to stop the general trend by relying on his own prestige and forcibly demanding that the tribesmen strive. Therefore, Allen decided to cater to their preferences and use a better life and more superior privileges to motivate the tribe's warriors to regain their fading fighting spirit and passion and strive to climb higher peaks.
"But if that's the case, the tribe's resources and money consumption will be very large, right?"
Although Allen only put forward a rough framework and didn't have specific details, looking at Allen's firm eyes and the momentum in his words, Camellia and Tony could feel that Allen's reform this time would probably be more impactful than the previous land reform.
"Didn't our compatriots in the east send me a big gift? We can just invest all these resources in this reform!!"
Allen understood that if he wanted the tribe to have a greater leap, he, as the chief, needed to have a greater mind and courage and could no longer be as meticulous as he used to be. Although Allen believes that he has been generous to the tribesmen, the general affluence has become an obstacle to the tribe's strength. .
The style of the wilderness has always been that the strongest can enjoy the best treatment. This can drive the warriors in the tribe to constantly strive hard, stand out, and climb up on the bones of their predecessors. His preferential treatment of ordinary tribesmen has instead contributed to the laziness and laziness of the tribe's warriors. In this regard, Allen does need to examine himself.
Of course, now that the tribesmen have become accustomed to their current life, it is naturally impossible for Allen to bring the tribe back to its previous state. Then, he can only continue to pay more benefits to stimulate the tribesmen's motivation.
"Oh!!"
Tony was a little disappointed. As a dwarf goblin, he really didn't have much talent in improving his combat level, and even among his offspring, there was no such talent for the time being. It seems that his family, and even the entire dwarf goblin group, will not be able to share much of this wave of dividends.
However, now that Chief Allen has the final say in the tribe, and the benefits paid out now are all earned by him, as a tribesman, Tony did not dare to have any objections. He could only follow Allen's orders and go back with Camellia to start formulating a plan and hand it over to Chief Allen.
After giving all the instructions, Allen sat in his castle and continued to summarize and introspect his past experiences to see if there was anything he needed to correct.
Before long, the new stage of the tribal reform charter was posted and announced, once again arousing heated discussions among the tribesmen. Behind the heated discussions was a group of people with red eyes and pupils undergoing a round of fiery self-training in the tribe's square and at the bottom of Green Lake.
Let it be.
