Struggle in the Steam Age

In fact, the loot is distributed according to everyone's contribution during the battle, so the ratmen and tauren only took about 7% of the loot together, and the bulk of the loot belonged to the human side.

So after the Ratmen and the Tauren were settled, it was time for Lawrence to arrange the use of this large amount of wealth.

Fortunately, because he had established friendly relations with many forces before, the distribution of loot would not be too difficult.

For example, for such a territory, the hoarding of some items is also very important. So it happened to be able to exchange some of the extra marine specialties for other extraordinary materials to enrich the material reserves on the island.

And it is not difficult to deal with the various marine jewels and artworks that occupy most of the trophies. Except for a small part that was left as a facade for the nobles at the strong request of Safir, the rest will be sent to the lighter factory It is used as a raw material reserve, and part of it will be realized through family relationships.

The biggest realization came from the empire. It took half a month to communicate and send a work of art worth 50,000 federal dollars to His Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Visby Empire as a tribute and take out another 30,000 jewels to give to each other. After some friends of the family, Lawrence was allowed $7 million worth of loot as collateral for an interest-free five-year loan of $8.5 million from the Royal Bank.

While those retainers who stayed in the empire were busy running for this batch of spoils, Lawrence was also busy on Shaw Island. It's just that the things he needs to be busy with are mainly related to the resettlement work of the nearly 30,000 Loka fishmen brought back by Naxin.

Recruiting these locathermen is generally a very good approach, not to mention that it is a humanitarian aid to help innocent people is a kind of thing to be appreciated, only after these locathams settle down Bringing enough benefits in anticipation is enough to make people happy.

After all, Lawrence's territory is an island, so once there are some marine intelligent creatures under his command, it can naturally be thoroughly developed by the surrounding sea area.

At least those from the Church of Agriculture think that with the help of these loca fish people, they will be able to conduct a thorough investigation of the surrounding underwater environment, and by the way, experiment with the development of circular agriculture underwater.

But this does not mean that Lawrence and the others can go where their work is leisurely. At least for Lawrence and the others, the nearly 30,000 loca murlocs are basically equivalent to 30,000 eating mouths in a short period of time.

After all, unlike on land, Lawrence and the others have never considered building any infrastructure on the surrounding seabed before, so the Loca fish people are equivalent to rebuilding their territory from a wilderness, and Lawrence's power in this regard is only Can provide them with very little help.

This also means that at least in the last few months, the Roca fish who have traveled here with Lawrence and the others need to work hard with the help of Lawrence and the others, trying to recover in the shortest possible time. The production capacity of the Loka murlocs.

"We can temporarily build a temporary residence inside the bay." At the first meeting on this aspect, Lawrence said openly, "Now the sea area required by ships in the bay is not particularly large, and the bay's The area is big enough to hold all the loca murlocs."

"The terrain of this place is indeed a good temporary camp for us." The representative of the Locafish said with a green face.

"However, you don't need to prepare too many supplies for us in the temporary camp here, because there are rivers 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 the case!" Lawrence nodded thoughtfully, and then motioned to one of his adjutants to take out a map and hand it to the green face.

"By the way, this is a map of the surrounding seabed that we investigated before. Your investigation can be based on this thing, which should save you a lot of work."

"Thank you for your help." The green face took the map in Lawrence's hand and looked at it carefully, then pointed to a spot on the drawing and said. "I think today we will organize a group of people to go to this fishing ground to start hunting activities, and try to restore part of the food production in a short time."

"I think it's just fishing. It should be difficult for you to feed everyone." 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 help me with some work. After you have wages, you can buy various items."

"Is it hunting sea beasts, or commissioning a search of a certain seabed?" After hearing what Lawrence said, the green face immediately thought of the most common things that land creatures hired them. Or to be precise, they have dealt with humans before, so they 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, the green face thinks that the Loca murlocs should also make some contributions, even if there are some No sacrifice is spared. Otherwise, he felt that it would be difficult for him to integrate into the new environment.

"Of course we are obliged to do these tasks—this is it?" Green Face said as he looked at the document Lawrence handed over, and was surprised to find that the task assigned to them was neither hunting sea beasts nor searching a certain seabed. Instead, they just planted 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 the work related to the planting industry. I think you should know whether there are more or less fish in a certain place and the water quality in this area during the long-term underwater life. The plants under are positively correlated—”

After Lawrence nodded, the priest of the Agricultural Church immediately explained to the green faces.

The priest of the Agricultural Church began to explain the knowledge about circular agriculture to this group of Loka fish people. But this suddenly made the green face, which was already green, even greener.

Because the green-faced human language level is very average, daily conversations are okay, but when faced with such professional content, they are obviously a little bit blind.

The human language proficiency of other murlocs was even worse, and they couldn't even cope with slightly more complicated daily conversations. Listening to this kind of professional report was naturally like listening to heavenly scriptures. Therefore, less than ten minutes into the speech of the priest of the Agricultural Church, Lawrence noticed that all the locathians had their eyes straightened, and they looked like they were out of their minds.

"Okay, I'll do the translation next." Seeing the increasingly confused expressions of the locathons who were just proficient in human language, Lawrence could only temporarily stop the passionate priest of the Agricultural Church from publishing. His speech, and then turned to look at the murlocs.

"Of course, you should also try your best to learn human language in the future. After all, we will spend a long time together in the future. Language barriers are very troublesome."

"Of course, we will try our best to learn human language in the future." Green Dot smiled at Lawrence with some embarrassment. The reason why they learned human language is also very simple, that is because the body structure of the two sides is obviously different, resulting in Murlocs can easily learn human language, but it is very difficult for human beings to learn their language except superhumans.

After popularizing the knowledge about circular agriculture to this group of Loca fish people in the simplest and easy-to-understand language, the enthusiasm of the Loca fish people was suddenly raised.

Because judging from the future that Lawrence described for them, this future is far brighter than the life of their previous generations.
