From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 226 Abolition and Succession

After returning to his headquarters and handing over all the loot to the relevant witch doctors for research, Nesta focused on two more things.

First of all, the ruling government has recently proposed to the Rune Council a plan entitled "Abolition of Some Small and Medium-sized Residential Areas".

The main objects of abolition in this plan are some small and medium-sized stations that are far away from rivers and tracks and have lost their significance.

Previously, the headquarters had established many small and medium-sized stations with two main purposes:

First, it disperses hunting areas;

Second, in order to facilitate the control of many tribes east of the Heihe River and north and south of the Baihe River.

The first item is easy to understand. It is to prevent the food resources in an area from being depleted due to excessive hunting.

The second item specifically refers to the small and medium-sized garrisons in the eastern Black Forest that were previously established to suppress various tribes, such as 'food storage points', 'garrison points', 'trading posts' and other functions.

When the ruling government proposed this abolition plan this time, it had three main considerations:

There are about 3,000 other people, all of whom are old people with only one out of five fighting strength;

In fact, if they didn't say they were reluctant to part with the various agricultural, animal husbandry, and farming production bases that had been built, they would even want to abolish a few large-scale bases that were already somewhat redundant from a geographical point of view.

For example, the large station under the Holy Mountain that was originally used to monitor the Third Division, or the two sub-bases No. 3 and No. 1 in the Black Forest in the west;

Now, although there are indeed many large farms and medium-sized agricultural products in the Republic, the words "big" and "medium" are just relative adjectives.

In addition, there are 1,200 powerless and dying old people, and more than 800 pregnant women whose combat power has been restricted.

1. Safety factors;

2. Regional development efficiency;

Third, times have changed;

To the west of the Heihe River, the four sub-bases are named from near to far, 'Hexi City', 'Near West City', 'Central West City', and 'Far West City'.

~~~~~~

In the end, after several rounds of negotiations and full communication with the Baomin Yuan, the parliament passed the plan of the ruling government.

As for the rest of the areas, let the large-scale garrisons make repairs on the existing basis for the time being, as long as they can maintain the actual presence of the Republic in each area.

Of course, whether it is the headquarters or major stations, the so-called "development" does not only refer to the surrounding area of ​​the station, but a large area centered on the station within a few days' walk.

When deciding on the name, neither the ruling government, the House of Commons, nor the Rune Council were too entangled. Everyone felt that the current title was both clear and convenient, so it was easy to settle on it.

These shortcomings will need to be filled later, either by merging the production team or by adding a single new member.

After confirming these things, specifically the abolition matter, it was handed over to the ruling government and the Baomin Yuan to jointly carry out the work. It was necessary to minimize the losses of the evicted people.

In addition to this group of teams that carry out production activities in public units, there are also some production teams that operate their own contracted production businesses;

For example, developing small and medium-sized farms, operating small and medium-sized livestock bases, operating small and medium-sized processing factories, etc.

As far as the main part is concerned, in fact, the "big" can be bigger, and the "medium" can also be bigger. Outside the main part, there are still large tracts of unexploited forest that still exist and have not been well utilized;

The remaining thousand or so trolls are the group of students who will officially graduate at the end of this year.

The same is true for other large-scale settlements. Although the 1,500 people allocated are all in their prime, they are also unable to develop a large area in depth.

The reason is simply that there is insufficient labor that can be invested.

Among the 30,000 people in the headquarters, if we exclude those who are studying, those who drink milk, those who are pregnant, those who are dying, those who are soldiers, those who are officials, those who are engaged in scientific research, and some old people who take care of the orchards;

In the end, there were only four thousand people left who could be put into basic production activities, and these four thousand had to be divided among farming, animal husbandry, industry, etc.

The rest of the stations outside the headquarters are relatively in even worse condition;

The main reason is that the Eastern tribes have now disappeared, and many once-useful settlements have become dispensable settlements. It is better to dismantle them and move the people to more valuable places for development.

Under such circumstances, the large number of production teams were assigned to the depths of the forests that were relatively far away from the headquarters and large-scale stations to develop the land there;

But Nesta thought of the issue of 'inheritance'.

To be honest, even for him, the grassroots affairs of the Republic today are also a very novel thing;

Here, the population does not appear as an individual unit, but with every ten trolls living together as a basic production team.

~~~~~~~

In addition to the 'abolition' plan, there is actually another thing that has also attracted the attention of Nesta and the Parliament, even more than the former;

That is, matters concerning the allocation of fresh graduates from the First Central School

The First Central School currently has a total of 14,493 students in various stages, including 8,820 adolescents aged 4-15 years old and 5,673 sub-adult students aged 16-19 years old;

Among them, 1,890 are 19 years old this year.

After taking these three factors into account, the ruling government subsequently launched their key development plans.

This plan has really caused quite a stir in the parliament. Some people approve it, some don't, and some think it's fine no matter what.

As for Nesta itself, although it is not opposed to the abolition of small and medium-sized strongholds in principle, it is a bit hesitant when it comes to the development of large strongholds.

The number of people in a small garrison usually only hovers around three or four hundred, and the number of people in a medium-sized garrison is usually only a thousand or eight hundred;

In fact, each large-scale station can barely make up the number of 1,500.

In addition, the garrison inside the Northeast Gap was named "Inner Northeast City", while the "Northeast Fortress" outside the mountain was renamed "Outer Northeast City";

In the same way, the northern fortress on the northern plateau will be named 'Outer North City', and the large garrison inside the mountain, which is the only one newly added in this plan, will be named 'Inner North City'.

Let me talk about it first,

Moreover, once the key areas are identified, choices can be made in terms of future security protection.

On the one hand, he feels that the "key development" mentioned by the ruling government does make sense;

But on the other hand, I feel that 'even development' of various large-scale settlements seems to be a good thing as well.

Finally, let’s talk about the third one,

By the way, various large-scale stations in the East and West have since had official names.

Among them, the large station used to monitor the Holy Mountain Tribe was almost abolished, and will henceforth be called "Near East City";

The large station in the middle of the Baihe Channel is called the "Middle East City";

The place located in the easternmost part of the Black Forest is the 'Far East City'.

However, in a place like this where the essence and almost all future hopes are gathered, it is definitely not a safe thing to only have an 'okay' level of defensive power.

Therefore, the largest concentration of labor resources should be completed first to complete the in-depth development of this area.

Therefore, with this amount of labor alone, even with the support of giant magic engineering vehicles, it is impossible to fully develop the headquarters, even if it is just a few days of surrounding resources.

The results are certainly gratifying and the spirit is worth bragging about, but it seems not worth it in terms of efficiency.

The ruling government believes that the power of ethnic groups is now in an extremely dispersed state;

Although it is still difficult to imagine that the Republic will be invaded by the enemy into its hinterland, the security risks caused by the dispersion of power do exist.

As for the headquarters that will receive the largest number of new residents, since the previously planned area of ​​the new city is large enough, neither the water supply and drainage plan nor the reserved land for residential buildings in the city will be too seriously affected by this relocation plan.

Influence;

We only need to slightly revise the construction priorities of residential areas to prepare for the new additions this time.

Nowadays, except for a few hunting teams that have suffered accidental casualties while performing patrol missions and need to fill in the labor force, the rest of the grassroots teams are fully staffed.

What happened this time was that the ruling government was hesitant in arranging graduates.

The remaining 1,500 people will build a new large-scale garrison in the black forest within the northern gap to serve as the support point behind the northern plateau in the event of an emergency in the future.

Their year-round labor income will be distributed in the form of money, supplemented by the basic welfare policy that has been continued from the tribal period to ensure that they will not die of hunger, so that they have excellent living conditions.

In the final version of the plan, the construction of the headquarters will be carried out as the top priority.

This time, a total of nearly 16,000 mature trolls need to be relocated in batches, of which about 15,000 will be sent to live in the headquarters;

Taking the headquarters as an example, the Republic now has a total of more than 63,000 people, large and small, of which the headquarters has about 30,000 people;

In addition, the title of 'Headquarters', which has been inherited since the tribal times, was officially established this time.

Therefore, the ruling government believes that some small and medium-sized stations should be abolished and the labor force should be integrated into the headquarters and large-scale stations to improve the development efficiency of key areas.

But starting from this year, the situation has changed. The holes in Zeng Jin have been basically filled up by now.

Among them, the headquarters that can connect the east and west and sit on the river and support the rails must be constructed first for considerations of future political stability or economic development;

If this happens, the losses caused by it are definitely not what the ethnic group is willing to bear.

Politically, since the people carried out the "Great Evacuation Movement" in the early years, a loose organization of the People's Yuan has been formed among local production teams, and now it has become an important force to check and balance the power of the ruling government;

In the military, in addition to regular military training under the guidance of the Military Commission, each production team will take turns to become militiamen and perform security inspection tasks in various places. They will also go to the headquarters in batches in accordance with the previously established 'recruitment regulations'

standing army service;

In terms of production, they have even more diverse responsibilities.

In the headquarters, or large public farms, large livestock bases, and large factories of various types near each station, the ruling government will employ production teams as a unit to uniformly employ people;

After excluding these, the remaining approximately tens of thousands of trolls are the sub-adults and adults who are worthy of a battle;

Even if the witch doctor's ability is added to this basis, the self-protection power possessed by this headquarters can only be said to be 'okay' compared to its importance.

Finally, after thinking about it, he still felt that he could do as many big things as he had the strength to do it, and it felt more prudent to develop the headquarters first.

From the current point of view, these three may seem a little bit useless.

Originally, the ruling government raised this issue now only because the focus of future construction has temporarily shifted to the headquarters;

What they want to ask is how to balance the distribution of the new generation between other cities and the headquarters in this 'new situation'.

Later, let’s talk about the second one;

Advocates believe that today’s farming and animal husbandry have completely replaced hunting in food acquisition;

Unlike traditional hunting and gathering, farming and animal husbandry production are more suitable for large-scale operations due to irrigation, infrastructure construction and other reasons.

Even if the three were not mixed, in order to complete the public's digestion of the two major mergers, a large number of grassroots production teams were dismantled because of this, leaving many vacancies on the front line of production.

However, there are about 800 people among them, who are newly naturalized people from other departments during the two previous major mergers. Since they have not reached the required academic period, they do not have the knowledge reserves to meet the graduation requirements;

Therefore, the Ministry of Education decided to appropriately extend his school time to make up for his homework.

Although individuals are powerful, mountain giant bears will still be killed by large packs of wind wolves, and the same goes for trolls;

It seems that nearly half of the trolls are concentrated in the headquarters, which should be extremely powerful. However, due to the influence of various policies, two-thirds of the nearly 30,000 trolls are old and weak.

Among them, more than 6,300 are children with no fighting ability;

There are nearly 9,000 young people with insufficient fighting capacity;

And between each large station, and between each small and medium-sized station, there is an endless stretch of forest that seems to be endless.

For example, mixing the new generation with old-school trolls and naturalized people can not only optimize the ability and age configuration of the grassroots construction team, but also subtly change the style of some old-school trolls. This is one of the considerations.

Therefore, how to arrange this new generation has become a problem.

Whether it was the construction of the western track or the construction of the subsequent tracks, the ‘recruitment’ carried out at that time was also a way of naturalizing the newly merged people;

In this type of ‘naturalization’, perhaps the most indispensable task is ‘mixing’.

Therefore, most of the graduates who have graduated for many years have actually been used to fill this hole.

Previously, there had been large-scale recruitment operations for several consecutive years, and the timing of their occurrence was usually when major mergers were taking place.

Therefore, out of the considerations of "concentrating efforts" and "reducing security risks," the ruling government believes that they should be appropriately concentrated;

An effective solution is naturally to eliminate some small and medium-sized strongholds that are too scattered.

According to the current academic system, theoretically, the year of turning 19 is the last year of schooling. This group of 1,890 trolls should have completed their 'internship', which may be short or long, or none or some.

Just officially graduated from school.

In such production activities, wealth belonging to various grassroots units will inevitably accumulate;

And no matter how long the lifespan of trolls may be, there will always be a day when they die;

At that time, how to distribute the wealth that was shared by the team and some of which was completely private seemed to be a problem that would inevitably be faced in the future.

Because troll society does not have the same ‘family’ relationship as in Nesta’s previous life;

Therefore, the "father dies and son succeeds" plan that is taken for granted in his mind naturally has no room for implementation.

I'm really sorry, I have a very important assignment due tomorrow, so I'll just write this for today, woo woo."
