Chapter 843 [0830] Freljord Subsidy Plan

For any organization to survive, its core must be common interests.

Just like when the Avarosa tribe was in control, for many tribes in the West Freljord subcontinent, Ashe brought them relatively fair arbitration, secondary sales of many hobbies, and the promotion of relatively advanced animal husbandry technology.

When the Winter Claw tribe was at its peak, Sejuani would take other tribes to other places from time to time to collect money, and by plundering the tribes that did not obey, she would provide benefits to all the tribes that followed her to plunder.

So if Lux wants to establish her own order in the West Freljord subcontinent, or even make it a part of Demacia, the core content is to form a community of interests with the local tribes in some aspects.

So, what plan does Lux have at this point?

For this reason, Lux prepared a complete plan: the Freljord Subsidy Plan.

……………………

Although the magic industry in the North can only be regarded as just starting, the object of comparison here is the former Shurima Empire.

If we compare it horizontally in the current Runeland, the only one that can compare with the North in production efficiency is probably Vazouan.

The North Integration Strategy truly integrated the originally scattered resources of Fosbyro, allowing Fosbyro's overall production level to reach a new level. After the establishment of New Demacia, how to transform the huge military magic industry under the North Integration Strategy into a civilian industry has become one of the main problems that Lux needs to face.

Splitting some suitable industries and building factories in the south is one of the responses. This is not only to improve the industrial level of southern Demacia and promote production reforms in the south, but also to dismantle the integrated North industry.

Although the magic industry in Demacia has just started, Lux, who knows how the Shurima Empire was kidnapped by the Sun Disc, knows very well that once the magic industry production forms an unbreakable ritual group, they are likely to ignore the development of the country for their own interests.

Magic industrialization should be promoted, but magic industrialization groups must not form a group!

Splitting some northern industrial factories to the south is an important measure to prevent them from forming a group of interest groups.

In addition, Lux also needs to work hard to grasp the upstream and downstream of magic industrial enterprises, control them from the direction of raw materials and sales channels, and put a reliable bridle on them.

The Freljord Subsidy Plan is such a link.

From Fosbyro to Newskara, Lux has been repeatedly considering and verifying this plan in addition to hunting. After many discussions and studies, she finally confirmed that this plan would be implemented in the form of special subsidies and formally proposed it at the alliance.

The so-called Freljord Subsidy Plan is actually very simple in its core content: once a year, the Freljord tribe can propose its own special subsidy project to the Demacia envoy, and the needs of all tribes will be comprehensively considered, and finally through the tribal meeting, a special subsidy will be established every year.

In the coming year, Demacia will subsidize its exports, allowing the Freljord tribes to purchase these subsidized goods in bulk at low prices.

Undoubtedly, this subsidy plan is of practical benefit to the Freljord tribes - although the subsidized projects need to be confirmed by the tribal assembly and each tribe needs to assign a special envoy to be responsible for this part, compared with the benefits they get from the subsidy plan, this part of the work can only be said to be insignificant.

Of course, if you think the content of the Freljord subsidy plan is too narrow and insufficient to meet the needs of your tribe, you can also choose to join Demacia - Demacia welcomes the joining of Freljord people with lofty ideals. If the Freljord tribe is willing to join Demacia and become a member of Demacia, then Demacia will provide additional subsidies and help build a new city on the coast of West Freljord.

If you don't want to stay in Freljord and want to settle in Demacia, Demacia will welcome you with open arms. Any tribe willing to move to Demacia will receive further additional subsidies, as well as subsequent education and employment subsidies, which are even greater than any wave of Fosbyro immigrants.

In general, the Freljord Subsidy Plan divides subsidies into three levels.

The lowest level is willing to follow the order of the West Freljord subcontinent of Demacia. The specific requirements include prohibiting civil war and looting, protecting Demacia caravans, and assisting the actions of the Guardians, which is a relatively normal situation.

In return, the Freljord tribes in this level will be eligible to send envoys to participate in the content of the Freljord Subsidy Plan, and the tribes can also purchase subsidized special products from Demacia at relatively low prices through the Freljord Subsidy Plan.

For this level, the result of the alliance is better than most situations.

You know, when the Avarosa tribe was in power, other tribes could only obtain some second-hand resources from them. The bulk of the Northern trade was taken up by the Avarosa tribe. Not to mention subsidies, they had to pay a premium for anything they wanted to buy.

Now we can "directly connect to manufacturers". Even if the special subsidy projects may not be what the tribes need most after they are released, at least the prices of other commodities will be further reduced!

The second level of the subsidy plan is to change the affiliation and join Demacia.

Tribes at this level need to give up their independent tribal status, negotiate autonomous laws with Demacia, and migrate to the West Freljord coast in the form of an autonomous region. In return, in addition to enjoying the Freljord subsidy plan, they also have a special minimum commodity purchase policy and coastal city construction subsidies.

For the second-tier tribes, they will become part of Demacia in legal terms from now on, but considering the unique living habits of the Freljord people, they will settle in the form of an autonomous region on the west coast, which is closer to Demacia, to strengthen the connection between the two sides first.

As for the highest level of the plan, it is a complete migration and submission - just look at the Walrus Tusk for the specific situation.

These three subsidy policies look very tempting. Even the lowest one can be said to be very tempting. For most of the Freljord tribes, this level of subsidy is enough to improve the tribe's living conditions.

Among all the Freljord tribes, only those who specialize in looting will reject this plan.

And these tribes... are not the tribes that Lux wants to win over.

Because in addition to these three subsidy plans, she also has an additional plan to attack tribes that do not participate in the plan, but this part of the plan is more obscure and is included in the part of "participants in the asylum plan".

In this case, the tribes in the West Freljord subcontinent are naturally divided into two parts: "willing to accept Demacia subsidies" and "unwilling to accept Demacia subsidies".

Those who are willing to accept have actual benefits. The more they take, the deeper they are controlled by Demacia. Tribes that only want to get special subsidies still need to engage in internal intrigue.

Those who are unwilling to accept are all potential targets of attack. Demacia does not need to prepare excuses or provoke. Lux is very sure that those who are unwilling to accept the plan are all potential plunderers. Once they start trying to do business without capital, Lux can attack them on the grounds of "protecting subsidized trade".

At that time, all Freljord people will stand on the side of Demacia.

……………………

The name of Demacia is still very important in the West Freljord subcontinent.

This weight mainly comes from the Demacia North Caravan - the North trade that has lasted for a whole generation has long made the view that "Demacia merchants are reliable" a consensus among many tribes.

As a "Demacia War Mother", the reputation of Demacia merchants is Lux's reputation in the eyes of the Freljord tribe.

So, when Lux explained the entire subsidy plan in Freljord language and gave examples in front of all tribal representatives, the war mothers and representatives of various tribes present were stunned.

They never expected that the Demacians would spend so much money!

Although this plan sounds a little complicated, through the examples given by Lux, they can be completely sure that it is more than a little better than what they expected!

In the process of giving examples, Lux also specifically talked about the part of the Northern Trade related to the Avarosa tribe. When the tribes heard about the price of oats and tobacco purchased by the Avarosa tribe, many people's eyes were red.

Good guy, the price of the Avarosa tribe doubled after the resale!

No wonder the Avarosa tribe is getting bigger and bigger, and even ran to Laxtak to gain a foothold... It turns out that being a middleman made money!

This step back made many tribes who still remembered the benefits of the Avarosa tribe feel subtly dissatisfied. Even if they can understand that Ashe did this for the benefit of the tribe, when they think of the price of the Avarosa tribe, they will feel a little bit wrong.

Of course, many people have also realized a problem: the price of reselling these goods by Avarosa is very expensive, but the price of these goods sold by Demacia merchants is not cheap either!

Although the goods sold by Demacia merchants are a little lower than those sold by Avarosa people, they are still not comparable to the price of their trade with Avarosa mentioned by Lux just now!

In this regard, Lux explained that "only when the quantity of goods increases can the price be subsidized and reduced, and the transportation conditions in Freljord are poor and the transportation costs are relatively high. Demacia does not make any profit in subsidizing goods."

Lux did not lie about this, because in the Freljord subsidy plan, she really did not intend to make money from subsidized goods - the real money is from non-subsidized goods.

Although many Freljord tribes have become accustomed to Demacian merchants, their dependence on Demacia's goods is still far from enough, and the Freljord's market is far from being fully developed. Through special subsidies, different goods will flow into Freljord on a large scale every year in the future, and the tribes of Freljord will gradually become familiar with, accept, and get used to Demacia's goods through repeated cheap subsidies.

Once this habit is formed, it is doomed to be inseparable. In the absence of alternative trade, they will first become part of the Demacia order, and sooner or later they will become part of Demacia in the future.

For the Freljord, which is short of materials, no one has ever provided subsidies of this scale in the past.

Even if a few wise people vaguely noticed the clues behind this subsidy plan, she would have to consider the needs and voices within her own tribe if she really wanted to refuse it.

If this subsidy plan appeared in Rakstak, Lux would probably have to fight a real battle before the tribes would sit down and accept it.

But this is the West Freljord subcontinent. The last person in charge here was the peace-loving Ashe. This place has been influenced by the northern trade for a generation, and the tribes here have heard the story of the walrus tusks.

In addition, the tribes participating in the Neuskara League this time are all tribes that are relatively close to Demacia, so when the plan was proposed, it didn't take long for it to be unanimously supported and agreed by most of the tribes.

Then, amid the excitement and anticipation of the representatives of the tribes, Lux cut her palm and made her promise in the name of the Demacia Warmother.

After Lux, the tribes participating in this alliance came forward one by one in the order of the previous competition, swearing to obey Luxanna's will, and also cut their palms, shook hands with Lux, let the blood blend, and made a blood oath.

One tribe after another accepted the first tier of Freljord subsidies in their own name. After the blood oath was established, they couldn't wait to gather together and began to discuss this year's subsidy projects.

Some people thought that oats should be subsidized, some thought that steel should be subsidized, and some thought that textiles should be subsidized.

Amid their excited discussions, it was finally Ovoli's turn to take the stage.

Although he was the most experienced hunter in the Floating Snow Tribe, Ovoli's performance in the competition was not ideal. Even in the field of shooting, which he was best at, his performance was not as good as those of the big tribes.

However, unlike those large tribes who were only willing to accept the first tier of subsidies, when Ovoli came to Lux, the oath he took the initiative to make made the whole audience silent.

"The Floating Snow Tribe is willing to become a part of Demacia. The will of Her Majesty Luxana is the will of the Floating Snow Tribe!"

He wanted to accept the third tier!

The update in October was really a mess. Various things were mixed together, and only 100,000 words were updated in a month.

It should be better next month!
