On the vast plains of Kauchen, Darkus could feel the natural beauty of the wind-swept grass and low sight of chocobos all around.
Darkus rode the big guy on the dense grassland, facing the breeze, feeling the vibration of the big guy's powerful hind legs hitting the ground, as if he was one with nature. The beautiful scenery on the Kauchen grassland, including the rolling sea of green grass, the vast blue sky, and the occasional wild animals, will make him feel relaxed and happy.
This is the first time Darkus has come here. When he first came to Kaochen Plain, he often came here to relax.
Although the entire area is the Kauchen Plain, the Kauchen Plain is just a general term. Due to the longitude, latitude and vastness of the territory, the east, west, north and south of the Kauchen Plain have different environments, different landforms, and different weather.
The area from the southern outpost to the mangrove jungle is the core of the Cochin Plains, a tall grass prairie with a humid subtropical climate. It borders the Cochin Plains to the south, the Sotigo Ridge Mountains to the west, and the vast ocean to the east. coastal.
The oceanic polar air in the south produces the cool Pamplo wind, while the warm, humid tropical air in the north produces the sultry Nordic wind, which is how the aurora seen from the temple city of Oxo is formed.
Usually the light winds formed by high pressure in the Northeast and South Ocean bring cloudy, hot and humid weather, and bring heat waves. There is no dry season here, with hot summers and mild winters. Due to geographical reasons, it is divided into two parts: the humid east and the arid and semi-arid west.
Dacus planned to name the western part of the place "Cordoba Administrative District" and the eastern part "Rosario Administrative District", separated by a canal. The land here is flat and fertile, and is very suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry. Activity.
As for the north, it's simple. The area where Asriel is located was named "Asriel Administrative District" by Darkus. It is different from the south. It is a relatively inland lowland alluvial plain with an altitude of 100 meters to 400 meters. meters.
The Administrative Region of Asriel is bordered by the Lustrian Jungle to the north and has a very hot subtropical to tropical climate, with humid summers but mild and dry winters. The area receives large amounts of seasonal rainfall, with heaviest precipitation and heavy rainstorms common. During the winter months, precipitation is scarce and periodic droughts occur. So xeric trees and dense shrubs and herbs can be found everywhere.
This place is suitable for growing fruits, but growing fruits is too wasteful. It is more suitable for growing cotton... and starting a textile industry.
Times have changed, Hand of the Witch King.
When Darkus came to the Kauchen Plain for the first time, he didn't yet belong in his heart. He didn't think about growing any cotton and giving out cotton-padded clothes to the Druch soldiers. But just ten years later, everything changed. He became the Hand of the Witch King in Naggaros, who was more powerful than anyone else. He became Malekith's only limited friend.
At this time, cotton is necessary to grow. Not to mention in Naggaroth, even if you run back to Ulthuan in the future, cotton is a must-have.
And cotton needs to be emphasized. Cotton has many uses, such as cotton swabs used to pick out ears... to make various clothing, bedding, towels, etc. Cotton is also used to make household items, such as filling material for sofas, cushions, pillows, etc.
Darkus seemed to remember that the bedding of the army in his previous life was all made of pure cotton, or was it hot-melt cotton? He couldn't remember either. Anyway, it is not waterproof and fireproof, but it has good hygroscopicity. Under normal circumstances, the fiber can absorb moisture from the surrounding atmosphere, so when a military quilt made of pure cotton comes into contact with the skin, it will make it feel soft and soft. Not stiff and has good moisturizing properties.
This is enough. When the time comes, the cotton will be made into Kaitans worn by civilians and bedding for sleeping. According to polls, many Kaitans worn by civilians are either made of leather. As for what kind of leather, you have to wonder...or they are stuffed inside. straw. Maybe Kaitan made of cotton is not useful at sea, but not all Drukhi choose to go to sea.
Besides, there are oil-waxed leather made of cowhide, or rubber? But there shouldn’t be that kind of craftsmanship, and you’ll have to grow rubber by then. The classic method is to add noodles if there is too much water; if there is too much noodles, add water.
And cotton also has medical uses, such as gauze, bandages and sanitary napkins.
As for the long and narrow area of Chapeuto, Dacus, who had abandoned the name, naturally named it "Chapeuto Administrative District".
It is bordered by Lustrian jungle to the north and mangrove coastal jungle to the south. It has a mainly subtropical climate. The north has a hot and humid tropical climate, and the south gradually changes to a temperate semi-humid climate. There are no rivers or lakes, but there is a swamp, which is rounded off as a wetland. The temperature is high and the rainfall is abundant throughout the year. Autumn is the rainiest season, and the precipitation is related to severe convective thunderstorms.
Darkus prepared the area to plant various tropical fruits, sunflowers, and peppers. He also raised some bees and made some honey. Of course, there are cocoa beans and coffee beans. These two things look the same, but they are very different in appearance. The cocoa beans belong to the fruit of the cocoa tree, an evergreen tree of the Sterculiaceae family, while the coffee beans belong to the coffee fruit of the Rubiaceae family. Fruit core.
As for yerba mate, forget it. There is no market or demand. Elves like sweetness, and lizardmen don’t touch that stuff. Do humans have a need? Do you need anything to do with Darkus? He is not even human! Not to mention being a human being, or drifting away on the road of being a human being, he has already thought about recruiting an insect breeding expert from the lizard people, and then treat humans to nutty bread!
Due to its proximity to Chapeuto, the picked fruits can be transported there immediately for storage or processing. Dacus plans to build supporting freezing processing plants and canning plants in Chapeuto, and at the same time develop deep-sea fishing.
At this point, Darkus's circle has been drawn on the Kauchen Plain, and his place of hope and retirement are completely closed.
There are eight administrative regions in total. Dacus changed the administrative regions into provinces, which is close to the title of his previous life in Rome. As for the name of the kingdom, he has not yet thought about it, and he is not in a hurry now. It will be brought together with the tradition of the Kingdom of Nagaries. Unlike Shang Hei who came to Naggaros, he preferred purple and crimson.
Rather, Dacus is the Augustus of the Cauchen Plain! Holy and great!
The purple robe is the most beautiful shroud!
These eight provinces are Asriel and Asriel, which has the capital city of Kauchen Plain located on the spiritual node. The province serves as a hub for administration and trade with the lizardfolk on the Cawchen Plain, as well as for cotton cultivation and the textile industry.
Chapeuto Province has an excellent deep-water port. Because of Chapeuto, it can carry out fruit planting, aquaculture and deep-sea fishing, while also carrying out freezing, fruit and fish processing, and setting up some canneries.
Salta Province, where silver salt is located, grows tobacco and sugar cane at the same time, and establishes sugar refineries, sugar cane wineries, feed processing plants and tobacco processing plants.
Cuyo Province, that long and narrow area is dedicated to growing various varieties of grapes and establishing wineries to produce grapes and brandy.
The province of Cordoba is dedicated to growing wheat, soybeans and corn, and establishing corresponding mills, food processing plants and chicha wineries, and can also process feed for livestock.
The province of Rosario is used to vigorously develop the breeding industry and is the source of horses, cattle and sheep.
Dacus has already made plans. He is going to build an east-west city across the river on the river between the provinces of Cordoba and Rosario.
In addition to the six core provinces of the Couchen Plain, there are two other provinces, the Serpent Islands north of Chapeuto and the Lower Couchen Plain.
The Serpent Province, Dacus directly named it the Serpent Province. The essence and characteristics of the Serpent Island have been mentioned before...
And in the Lower Kauchen Plain, Dacus named Anureel Province, where It is suitable for grain cultivation, sheep raising and wool spinning processing, but it is not currently under his control.
From the Serpent Province in the north to Anuriel Province in the south, from the coast of the Cawchen Plain in the east to the Ridge of Sotigo in the west, it is the territory of Darkus.
Although Krakarond gave birth to Darkus, that rotten land was nothing worth mentioning in front of this land of hope! This vast land is as big as three or four kingdoms in Ulthuan, and Krakarond can only be regarded as a large comprehensive city at best. And the land here has full utilization value, and there is no bad land.
But some things are also relative. The long coastline of the Kauchen Plain is currently a huge loophole, and it has to resist various erosions from the chaotic wasteland of Antarctica. Moreover, humans who are blown by the Antarctic wind may give birth to deformed fetuses that turn into beastmen. This must be noted. Darkus does not want to introduce new species to the Lustria continent. Fortunately, there is nothing here that cannot be penetrated deeply. A primeval forest where beastmen thrive without restraint.
By then, canned apricots, baked beans, blueberries, kidney beans, peas, sweet corn, peaches, pineapples, strawberries, and mangoes will be available, as well as canned beef, salmon, cod, etc.
We also offer salt-cured assorted offal, which is made from carefully selected organ meats and offal and is perfect for eating with sauce, sweet bread, haggis or pig intestines.
Chewing tobacco, chocolate, biscuits, coffee powder, oatmeal, candies, bacon, etc., wine, brandy, whiskey, beer, tequila, rum and chicha!
There are also tons and tons of textiles and so on.
But now there is no hair in the Cochen Plain, only chocobos running around, and Ashriel has no hair at all. There is only the shabby house that Darkus built when he first came here ten years ago. After the wind and rain, it has already become capable of being kicked down.
"What are you laughing at?" Malekith asked looking at the silly Darkus.
"No, I thought of something happy." Darkus said with a smile.
Darkus roughly sketched a blueprint for Malekith's future, but he didn't mention anything about food or anything like that. He knew clearly that Malekith couldn't eat, drink, or use food, so he said it vividly. Isn't it torture? Maybe this is also a kind of torture?
Darkus figured out that chaos cannot be completely eliminated in this world, and it is inseparable from this world, unless all intelligent creatures become fools who cannot think.
Since it can’t be eliminated, let’s coexist! Then fight! Relevant supervision systems must also be established. For example, the secret police system of the Sword Master of Hoth is very good. Darkuston finds it strange that Ulthuan's weird political system actually has a secret police.
The things produced in the Kauchen Plains will be universal and sustainable. They can be eaten, used, enjoyed, and Assati can be believed in. But if using these items will cause corruption or believe in Slaanesh, that can only be said to you. Damn it!
To put it bluntly, we can't degenerate into slash-and-burn farming due to the corrosion of chaos, right? It's like Chaos will let you go.
After several days of back and forth, we finally arrived at Chapeiuto in the evening. At the Mask Palace, which serves as the administrative center, a grand banquet began.
Malekith, who could only watch but not eat, sat on the makeshift throne holding an empty wine glass. He held his cheek with his other hand and looked silently at the Druchi dignitaries below and the Skink Priest who was in charge of repairing Chapeiuto. them.
The council table used for meetings was turned into a dining table, with all kinds of weird seafood placed on the table.
"For this fertile land of hope, for Druch and the lizardmen!" Darkus, who wiped his mouth dry, stood up and raised his wine glass and toasted loudly.
In the cheerful atmosphere, Darkus's voice echoed from every corner. The dignitaries on both sides who were still devouring their food also put down what they were holding, stood up, raised their glasses, and responded loudly.
The vast ocean where Chapeiuto is located has abundant fishery resources, not only with many varieties but also with high quality, which can meet various needs.
There are many types of seafood on the table right now, such as cod, salmon, skate, anchovy, tuna, sea bream, fox bonito, mackerel, white kingfish, black kingfish, hake, silver mirror, silverfish, etc. . There are also molluscs and crustaceans, clams, scallops, shell vegetables, oysters, squid, octopus, shrimp, prawns, crabs, red shrimp, king crab, etc.
Although there are many types, there are still many and some are few.
The most abundant species are deep-sea cod of various types with an average length of half a meter, which can be found in a large area from the Anurell Peninsula to the mouth of the Queveza River. There is also a type of cod that is one meter long on average, different in color and size from ordinary cod, with longer pectoral fins, larger eyes and scales, and is caught in the waters near the Anurell Peninsula.
In addition, there are many anchovies living in shallow waters. This fish is generally about 17 centimeters in length and is the main food of many carnivorous fish. If you have nothing to do, you can catch it by fishing on the shore of Chapeuto.
Just as the Octopus kept using its tentacles to wrap up the shrimps on the table and bring them to its mouth, Malekith stood up from the throne.
"In order to get back everything that once belonged to us! We are not afraid of any difficulties and will not take a step back!" Malekith swore with great pride.
At this time, the banquet reached its climax. Although most of the Skink Priests could not understand what Malekith was talking about, they might as well raise their glasses and drink. With Malekith's words, the development of the Kauchen Plain has entered the next stage.
The next day, in the Palace of Masks, a small number of Druchi dignitaries and disciples led by Malekith and Darkus, as well as skink priests and architects, were planning everything in the Kauchen Plain.
According to Darkus' life experience, it is better to have fewer people involved in this kind of thing than to have too many people. It is just like decorating and buying furniture and home appliances. Whoever pays has the final say. Otherwise, each person has one opinion, and they will just do it without paying. , in the end the whole nondescript thing came out, but fortunately the system was here, with Malekith watching with no interest in guiding, Darkus took charge of planning everything.
After traveling around the Kauchen Plain, the main problem we faced was the river. Except for the long and narrow Cuyo Province where there is a river, there are no rivers elsewhere. Without considering the province of Anurel at the moment, there needs to be a river at the junction of the provinces of Córdoba and Rosario. The solution is to lead a river out from the direction of the Sotigo Ridge and connect it with The river in Cuyo is divided to ensure safety, and the water eventually flows into the vast ocean near the mangrove jungle.
There are many evil things in this world, and Darkus has to guard against them, such as Nurgle, the god of health, and all kinds of weird poison masters, such as the Druchi Kane assassin and the Skaven who have famous records. The assassin of the Essien clan, or the madman of the Blight clan. Although the two clans have a feud and cannot deal with him, they can join forces to deal with him after he beats the group of rodents to pain. The Death Master brought It is very possible for the fruits of the epidemic to be poisoned here.
Moreover, the Kane Assassins have done similar things. Shadow Blade, the die-hard assassin who was killed by the old witch Heliban, traveled through the world with a small group of Kane Assassins when Tularis attacked the Blighted Islands in 2518 of the Imperial Era. After arriving at the Kingdom of Nagareth and the Kingdom of Charis, head to the Kingdom of Cosqui. There, they poured a poisonous mixture of bone-corrosive poison and demonic fluids into the river water. Soon after, a plague that was extremely difficult to cure broke out throughout the Kingdom of Cosqui.
It’s impossible to guard against it! I don’t know when Time Sentinel will be available.
The other one is relatively complicated. It flows from Salta Province, runs through Asriel, the capital of Asriel Province, and then flows to Chapeuto Province and into the vast ocean.
The last one is the river that serves Potosi. As for the issue of environmental protection, Dacus had not solved it in his previous life, let alone him. He had already thought about it, either asking Master Ma to drain the wastewater into the underground sea or something like that. dilute it, or the entire Slan Creation purifies the waste water, if materialism doesn't work, then resort to idealism! Nothing wrong!
Of course, these three rivers are the main rivers, and there will be a number of tributaries and small rivers later. But these are not what we are worried about now. The Kauchen Plain is so big that even a hundred thousand people could not splash a splash if it were thrown into it. What we are worried about now is the tributaries. The problem is completely unnecessary, and there is no need to dig it out now.
Darkus conservatively estimated that, excluding Anureel Province in the Lower Cawchen Plain, the upper Cawchen Plain alone could support a population of five million. If he remembered correctly, the Silver Country in his previous life had a population of 45 million. The capital Buenos Aires and its surrounding areas were the most densely populated areas, with about 15 million people, accounting for More than one-third of the country's total population, and the other two-thirds are concentrated elsewhere.
While feeding this population, the Country of Silver is also one of the world's important producers and exporters of grain and meat. It is known as the "World's Granary and Meat Bank" and bulk agricultural products such as soybeans and beef are highly competitive in the international market. The Land of Silver is the world's largest exporter of soybean meal, soybean oil, sunflower oil, honey, pears and lemons, the second largest exporter of corn and sorghum, the third largest exporter of soybeans, and the fifth largest exporter of wheat and beef. , the export of agricultural, animal husbandry, fishery products and processed products accounts for 60% of the country's total exports of goods.
Is there anything wrong with supporting five million people in Dax? You have magical inorganic fertilizers, but I also have magical Ji Lun magic! After that, he will also establish corresponding academies of agricultural sciences and science academies to cultivate and transform crop varieties, design related supporting equipment, and pull up backward productivity.
And Darkus feels that five million is relatively conservative, and raising ten million won’t be a problem! Although the future kingdom of Kauchen Plains is isolated on the coast of Ulthuan, he believes that this kingdom will be the strongest kingdom of the elves, and its manpower, materials, armor, culture, etc. will gradually surpass other kingdoms.
When things are done, Darkos will leave and retire in his kingdom. When there are big events in Ulthuan, he will go back to participate in his improved power politics. Priests have intimate conversations or retreat to the Great Pyramid of the ancient saint Ich to absorb the energy there.
A large population will breed the power of chaos, but Darkus has a system of maelstrom and spiritual vein network, as well as a large number of standing soldiers that appear as the population grows, and there is also lizardman insurance.
Why is it said that chaos is eternal and an indispensable part of this world? Take the population as an example. It not only breeds power, but also offsets it. It is almost equivalent to doing it in vain, just for fun, but the power of the elves and gods will also increase accordingly! The strength of the lizardmen neighbors to the north will also increase to a greater or lesser extent.
Unless the elf god or the elves are doing some serious work, there should be no problem?
But ten million will only be two or three thousand years after the world does not explode. It is estimated that Darkus will be kicking his legs by then, and he will not care about these things.
"Ashriel's plan is based on a population of one million, and the scale is larger than Itaza!" Darkus, who was thinking about this, drew a circle of Asriel on the sand table and said.
Druchi and the Skinks who were watching the sand table raised their heads and looked at Darkus, their eyes full of different looks, shock, confusion, and suspicion.
"Is it the whole city?" The Skink Priest who was in charge of Chapeiuto's maintenance work tilted his head, and the marquee above his head kept changing colors. He hissed and asked. Obviously, he was attracted by Umac's The words shocked me.
"Yes, the north and south must be the same. You can be responsible for planning the north." Darkus gritted his teeth and said, he did not believe that the problem of the hatching pond could not be solved.
Malekith mentioned to Darkus some time ago that Esso Talarian in the old world is the capital of the colony of the Kingdom of Nagaryth. The architecture there references a lot of dwarven technology, and the elven style is similar to that of the dwarves. The technologies are fully integrated. Although Esso Talarian has sunk, the relevant technical drawings should still be there. Since Darkus is going to the Old World next, he might as well go there and take a look.
Darkus kept these words in mind, because the sunken Esso Talarian is located in the Nordland of the empire, which is also his first stop to the old world. He has a total of three trips to the old world. The key place is that the first stop is Lauren Loren in Nordland, then go to Altdorf in Reikland to meet the ancient Leonardo da Vinci, and then go to Athel Loren in the south. As for the others, they are currently to be determined, although The itinerary is set like this, but there is no guarantee of what will happen. There is no guarantee that Finubar will run into Li Kui and Li Gui's tricks on the way, and there is still a vampire war over there.
Some things must be planned in advance. This is the medieval world. The life span of immortal species is too long. They are usually bought and sold in one go. There is no such thing as demolition, construction, and demolition. How about playing? Or is there any funding allocated? If you don't plan ahead, the broken cities of Naggaros are the best portrayal of it. They have been built and demolished, and they have been demolished and built. Ruins and abandoned city walls are everywhere. Dacus doesn't want the place where he lives in the future to remind him. The former Nagaros.
Not to mention Chapeiuto's hatching pond. The essence of the hatching pond flowed into the sea at the moment it sank. Before it rose, it was all sea water. Moreover, Chapeiuto still needs to plan for the future. The middle part will still be dominated by the temple city, and the other parts will be pulled towards the Flame Swamp. It is estimated that in the future, reclamation will be needed to lengthen the port area.
After drawing the circle, it’s time to move forward quickly.
