People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

Rhodes didn't bother him and just stood guard outside quietly.

A few old people came in the middle.

Rhodes didn't know him.

But knowing that they had all been favored by Kawei's father, they wanted to come and see the benefactor's children.

Especially those old people who insist on staying and teaching in the village.

When they mentioned that the knowledge they taught their children was also taught to them by Kawei's father, tears kept glistening in their eyes.

"It is he who leads us out of our ignorance."

"Although he is gone, we cannot let his hard work go to waste."

This is what the old people said when they left.

In this regard.

Rhodes was deeply moved.

He has never seen what Aru Village looked like before.

However, we can still get a glimpse of it from the mouths of these old people.

Before Uncle Anpu and Candice opened up trade between Aru Village and the rainforest area, the situation in Aru Village was actually similar to that of those desert tribes.

It can be said that almost all desert tribes have the same shortcomings.

Among them, ignorance has the most profound impact.

In Aru Village twenty years ago, the literate people accounted for less than one percent of the total population of the village. To say that the average number of prenatal education graduates per capita is an exaggeration.

It was Kawei's father who brought knowledge and the concept that knowledge can change destiny. He led the Aru village in the past to get rid of ignorance and allowed this poor and backward village to learn to use knowledge to improve its life for the first time.

Not to mention that he designed many facilities for the village to prevent sandstorms. To this day, those facilities are still playing their role.

In addition, he also taught the villagers many simple prescriptions and saved many villagers who could only wait to die before.

Altruist.

idealist.

Pragmatist.

A real man.

This was Rod's evaluation of Kawei's father after hearing these things.

have to say.

This father and son really look alike.

In every way, they are so similar.

By the time it gets completely dark.

Kawi finally came out.

Candice, who had a busy day, also came.

Coming with her was Disiya.

The two were talking and laughing, and seemed to be talking about something happy.

Candice invited Kawei and Rhodes to sit at the village chief's house.

Something that was expected.

Rhodes and Kawei had no objection and followed Candice together.

soon.

A few people arrived at Uncle Anpu's house.

A sumptuous dinner has already been prepared on the table.

Even though this table of food seems a bit crude compared to the meals served to guests in the rainforest area, this is the highest treatment that Aru Village can provide to guests.

Same with Rishti.

When he saw Kawei for the first time, Uncle Anpu was also startled, and then sighed: "If you don't know, you will think that your father has returned to the village again."

Kawei smiled, no longer as melancholy as he was during the day, and then sat down with Roddesia and the others.

After being hungry all day, he didn't show any restraint. He wolfed down his food openly and openly, without treating himself as an outsider at all. He acted even more comfortable than Rhodes.

Wait for everyone to eat and drink.

Uncle Anpu just started to talk about the topic.

This was something that Rhodes had already sent a letter to notify him after reaching an agreement with Kawei in Sumeru City.

Kawi, a top architect in Sumeru, will be responsible for helping Aru Village design and construct infrastructure.

Mention this matter.

The inevitable thing to talk about is money.

Although Kawei's salary Rhodes helped solve the problem.

However, without the funding support from the Ordinary Council, Aru Village alone would not be able to complete the infrastructure facilities mentioned in Rhodes' letter.

Not to mention completing the entire set of planned infrastructure facilities, just to renovate the school and build a hospital, Uncle Anpu bitterly said that he was short of money and could not afford to build it.

"I got you an investor."

“She is willing to lend money to the village to help the village complete infrastructure facilities.”

"But the premise is that the village must first show her sincerity enough to make enough profit to repay the capital."

Investors in Rod's mouth.

It was Dolly who had come with them before but was left behind halfway.

That's when we'll talk about it.

Rhodes spent all his energy and effort, and his words were almost worn out, before Dolly reluctantly agreed to come and inspect it.

As soon as I finished saying this.

Not only Uncle Anpu and Candice were looking at each other, but Kawei also hurriedly asked: "Hey, that's not what you told me that time."

"Otherwise, would you agree to come?"

Rhodes spoke confidently and without any sense of shame that he was deceiving others at the time.

This time Kawei became anxious instantly.

He slammed his hands on the table, stood up suddenly and shouted: "Rhode! Do you know how much this will delay!!!"

"Mr. Kawei, don't worry. Since Rhodes is so sure, he must have already planned what to do for me, right, Rhodes?"

The speaker was Candice.

Compared to Dishia who also frowned when she heard these words, she seemed calm and stared at Rhodes with sharp eyes, waiting for his answer.

"I did help to get the conditions for these loans from Dolly."

As per the old rules, the words Rod got out of Dolly's mouth were still made with Nasida's help.

This matter still has to start with meeting Kawei in the Harland Tavern.

At that time, Rhodes felt that with Kavi's talent, if he could be hired to help the village, he would definitely be of great help.

However, due to Kawei's terrible debt, Rhodes couldn't think of a way to successfully bring him to Aru Village.

Then there is the problem Uncle Anpu mentioned just now.

If you want to build infrastructure facilities in Aru Village to change lives, it is impossible to rely on the Jiaolingyuan.

They are able to allow open trade licenses and grant some privileges, which is considered to be liberal.

It is just a pipe dream to expect that they can allocate funds to Aru Village for free to build infrastructure facilities.

And if this problem cannot be solved.

Even if Aru Village can offer Kawei a high salary of one million molas a month, the planned project may not be able to proceed.

So Nacida made a series of exquisite calculations.

Starting from the existing assets of Aru Village to the profitable projects that could be built in Aru Village in the future, Nasida took everything into consideration and finally gave Rhodes something that he could use to negotiate with Dolly. It is also the only one at present. A viable operation that might attract investment from Dolly.

Just listen to Rod start talking about the investment conditions he and Dolly discussed.

"First, Dolly will occupy a piece of land in Aru Village as her mushroom breeding base. This does not need to be paid by the village. She will give you a land occupation fee and will also hire workers in the village to work in this breeding base. For work, you just need to nod and agree to let the villagers move and pay good compensation. As for the remaining compensation for the land, how will you allocate it yourself. "

"Second, Dolly wants to open her chamber of commerce in the village. Whether it is smuggled goods or serious goods, Aru Village will be used as a transit point. Aru Village needs to protect the safety of this chamber of commerce, including travel safety and the appearance of ethics officials. Regarding the security issue of the search, if Dolly doesn’t agree to this matter, she will withdraw her funding and leave.”

"Third, I have to ask you a question first. You must have seen my experimental field, right?"

Candice and Uncle Anpu were still making eye contact about the previous two things.

When Rhodes asked this, they all nodded and said, "Yes."

Use grass slimes to replace the benefits of fertility, use date palms to resist sandstorms, use grass squares to prevent soil erosion, and use mixed planting to rationally utilize the fertility of the soil.

These are farming methods that Aru Village has never seen before.

The results are very good.

Before Rhodes went to Sumeru City to celebrate the Flower Goddess's birthday, some early-maturing crops in the fields had matured. After harvesting, some of them were taken to the village and sold by Rhodes, and some were kept at home for his own consumption.

Now I'm just waiting to plant the second crop.

It takes three months to harvest a round of green leafy vegetables.

This is not unusual in the rainforest area.

But once the premise of not using the Bountiful Bounty is added, this matter is enough to make people yearn for it.

Next.

Rhodes continued.

"In view of the great success of my experimental plot, Dolly has agreed to provide me with funding to continue cultivating new crops. The only requirement is that all harvests must be sold to her first."

"simply put."

"What I sell is technology and patented results."

"As for the subsequent promotion of planting, what is needed is in-depth cooperation between Aru Village and her, including but not limited to providing land, protecting crops, expelling monsters and bandits, and all subsequent matters."

"We need to wait until she arrives to talk to you about how to operate this matter, as well as the purchase price, how to divide responsibilities for profit and loss, and what to do if there is a natural disaster that reduces production. You have to discuss these in detail."

"I can only tell you roughly that at least one of her requirements is that there should be no competitors in the Xumi market. That is to say, the village can only contract planting, and absolutely cannot sell privately for profit, even if her competitors pay higher prices. Even if the price is high, you can’t break the contract.”

"The advantage of this is that the village will have another stable source of income in the future."

"The disadvantage is that most of what the village will grow in the future will be subject to Dolly's arrangements. All harvests can only be sold to Dolly. Even if Dolly pays less, you can't sell it to others, otherwise she has the right to claim compensation. ”

"After this agreement is reached, it will not be terminated until at least the village has repaid the loan. At that time, you can negotiate a new contract with Dolly."

At the end, Rhodes did not forget to add: "Similar to the second point, if Aru Village does not agree with this matter, or has any objections to the contract agreement proposed by Dolly, Dolly will still directly withdraw funds and leave. Find land and manpower elsewhere. In other words, this is also a mandatory cooperation. If you want to build a village, you have no choice. "

Two consecutive requests for forced sexual cooperation made Candice and Uncle Anpu frown in thought.

This is not over yet.

Rhodes then revealed Dolly's fourth request: "Dolly will fund the renovation and expansion of the road from Aru Village to Kavanyi. Yes, you heard it right, she will provide all the money, but she will Checkpoints are set up here to collect tolls. Except for her caravan, other merchants who want to pass the road she built must pay tolls. The specific toll standards are drawn up by her, which are basically calculated based on the weight and quantity of the goods. "Other adventurers, travelers, and mercenary groups traveling on this stretch of road also need to pay tolls based on what they carry. The villagers of Aru Village and the Blazing Hunters enjoy the privilege of being exempted from tolls."

"This is impossible!"

As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, Uncle Anpu immediately said: "If we do this, the village will have to be tied to her in the future. Wouldn't there be no room for development for us?"

Dolly is willing to help Aru Village build roads, which is a good thing.

But these requirements were added to her.

In fact, it is equivalent to turning this trade route that everyone can use into her private trade route, especially with the restrictions on solo travelers, which is equivalent to driving away those who have long been accustomed to living in the village. A trader.

Moreover, Aru Village is under the jurisdiction of the Order Council after all.

If tolls are collected privately.

That would be tantamount to slapping the teaching council in the face.

If the Ecclesiastical Council withdraws the trade permission at that time, then the village that has managed to get to where it is today will be completely destroyed.
