Chapter 197 The Eve of the End
Windlow divided this problem into two: a long-term problem and a short-term problem.
The long-term problem is that there must be a way to continuously supply food, and the short-term problem is how to fill the stomachs of this group of people immediately.
Thanks to its seaside environment, the village has retained a lot of fish.
In addition, fish meat expires very easily, so it can be transported and eaten directly. It will expire anyway if left any longer.
With a wave of Windlo's hand, several carts of fish were pulled over to fill the stomachs of these Norsemen.
You don't have to worry too much in the next few days.
If you want the Norse people here to develop their own food production line, it will cost a lot of money.
The Norsemen were accustomed to using longboats, which were very long but very narrow vessels that were not much different from canoes in the eyes of the Imperials.
The biggest advantage of this thing is its speed. There are even records that a group of Norse explorers reached the land of Lustria on a longship.
Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the tonnage is insufficient, and it is impossible to stop in the sea, and it is easily affected by wind and waves.
The combination of these two conditions has resulted in the Norse Peninsula having a very long coastline but no fish breeding.
Ships are not for sale within the Empire. We can't expect the Imperials to buy ships for the Norsemen. Don't they think they haven't been plundered enough?
The village before Windlow still had a few decent boats, but only a few.
If we want to feed so many people, simply fishing is not enough. Fishery resources will also be exhausted. There is no fish if there is water.
Fish only appear where ocean currents converge.
Just then, he had a great idea.
This Norse tribe really doesn't have anything good, but it occupies a very good port.
As a plunderer port, profits can only be made through plundering, but robbing with an axe is a very backward way of robbing.
With a wave of his hand, Windlow established a form of robbery that was even more powerful than axe robbery: the toll booth.
It was a port where the Norsemen went out to plunder, and it was surrounded by all kinds of supporting facilities such as taverns, brothels, warehouses, etc.
In a very short time, it was transformed into a trading port.
Anything that smacked of loot was taken down and destroyed forever, Chaos statues, monuments to various evil gods, and any horrific things used to terrorize the captives were all destroyed.
It has become an excellent port for imperial merchants to do business.
Just as Windlow had designed it at the beginning, after the port was built, caravans from the empire came to trade.
The Norse people of this tribe finally discovered something that went against their thousands of years of common sense.
The wealth gained from robbing the imperial people is far less than the wealth gained from doing business with them.
When the empire's merchant ships docked at the port, they had to pay the most basic docking fee. All of this money was handed over to Windlow, who then distributed the money to the local Norse people on a per capita basis.
Everyone benefits from the port's development.
At the same time, imperial merchants who come from afar not only pay for various services and create jobs, but also purchase goods from local Norse people.
High-quality wood, furs, and minerals are all resources produced by Norsca but are scarce in the Empire.
By selling local resources, you can buy very cheap food, clothes, and even elven jewelry and dwarven tools from the empire.
The prosperity of trade instantly brought huge wealth, and wealth also brought the development of civilization.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the culture of such a Norse tribe had been assimilated into the Empire. Not only did everyone speak the Imperial language, but the Temple of Sigmar was also established in this extremely cold land.
The development of civilization also affected the Norse people's way of thinking. The previous Norse female chief also abolished slavery together with Windlow.
At the same time, he also gave Wendlow two extremely rare gifts.
A high elf slave, and a dark elf slave.
They were captured from the sea by the expedition team within a week and were originally intended to remain in the tribe as slaves, but slavery obviously could not keep up with the development of productivity.
I heard that Windlo has several elf companions around him, so sending these elf captives over can be considered a favor.
Wow, it’s no wonder that the Norscans, who started trading with the Empire, even learned things like debts of favor.
The two elf captives obviously recognized Windlow's imperial identity, and the expressions on their faces were obviously relieved.
"Imperial, release me, let me return to Ulthuan, and kill that dark elf. The high elves will give you a whole chest of gold as a reward."
"No, don't be fooled by the high elf's lies. He won't give you any money. Let me go and then kill him. We will split his wealth in half."
Even though they were both captives, the two elves were still filled with hatred for each other.
They kept abusing each other, leaving Windlow no chance to learn any information about the two.
No one knows who they are or why they were captured by the Norscans.
But don't worry, the last thing you lack right now is a means of communicating with the elves.
With a snap of his fingers, the door was opened from the outside, and two more elves walked in.
Mousse and Izehi rushed over from their previous village immediately after hearing that the Norsemen had captured the elves. It seemed that they were moving very quickly.
"I need some basic information, so please ask me."
Seeing this situation, the dark elves and high elves who were tied up with ropes were stunned.
It was also the first time they saw that Duruchi and Asur could stand at such a close distance and still live in peace.
One can even feel that although the relationship between Mousse and Izexi is not good, it is definitely not at the level of hostility.
What's more, the people in front of them are indeed their fellow elves.
Mousse asked the dark elf and Izeshi asked the high elf, and they got all the information in less than a minute.
One of them was Shadow and the other was a member of the White Lion Guard. They both fell into the sea during a naval battle and were eventually encountered by a passing Norse expedition team, who brought them back as prisoners.
This situation made Windlo very confused. How could two people who had nothing to do with each other, a Shadow and a White Lion Guard, fall into the sea at the same time?
After asking for specific information, Mousse and Izexi's faces were obviously no longer as relaxed as they were at the beginning, but instead became very solemn.
In the north of Ulthuan, the Dark Elves' Black Arks, led by the Witch King Malekith, are fighting against the High Elf fleet led by Tyrion.
