Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

Dacus, with his hands behind his back, walked slowly down the spiral staircase inside the black tower. His footsteps were steady and silent, echoing in the empty space. Shadows swayed on the walls, as if the ancient building itself was whispering.

When he finally stepped onto the ground, what came into view was a dead silent hall. The air seemed to be frozen and silent. Only a team of black guards stood solemnly around them, their armor flashing a cold metallic luster in the dim light.

He looked around with sharp eyes, and then said calmly, "Renovate this place into a residence and reception room that can accommodate a hundred-man team."

Hirsis had no extra questions, and his expression did not even change. He simply nodded. He was used to Dacus's sudden plans and the way Dacus arranged things.

But soon, he thought for a moment and realized something. He asked, "Do you want to expand the upper space as well?"

"It's up to you. Can it accommodate at most ten assault ships?" Daxus shrugged and spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if he was just asking him to decide what the weather would be like today.

Hirsis nodded again. This was already an instinctive reaction.

This doesn't need to be discussed at all.

The renovation of this hall is not only to provide a place for soldiers, but also to allow the warlocks of the assault ship to be stationed at any time, ensuring that they can respond quickly at the top of the black tower when necessary. In the future, some urgent or special decrees, intelligence and orders will be issued or received from this renovated platform.

As for the taboo of stockpiling soldiers on the roof of the throne room, it doesn't matter. In the years to come, Malekith will not stay in this black tower that belongs to him most of the time.

This tower has found its new purpose.

"You should be mentally prepared and make plans for the demolition. Don't worry, it's not as difficult as you think." Daxus continued to walk forward, his steps still steady, his hands behind his back, his voice steady and powerful.

"Are you going to...?" Hillsis asked tentatively with a frown as he followed, his tone containing some hesitation but more of confirmation.

"Yes, just like before, just like we discussed in Asheril." Daxus's mouth curled up slightly, and a meaningful smile flashed in his eyes. He looked at Hillsis, his tone slow but full of unquestionable certainty.

"Compared to the factory that continuously creates value, the previous buildings... are meaningless, aren't they?"

Hirsis took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily, his eyes gradually becoming firm. He looked at the profile of Daquus, and finally nodded solemnly.
-

With the finalization of the plan, the future outline of Naggarond has become clear. It spreads outward with the Black Tower as the center, forming a huge urban system with industrial, military, commercial and residential functions.

The South District will become the industrial heart of Druch society, with various steel mills, weapons manufacturing plants, machinery processing plants and various daily necessities manufacturing plants lined up, continuously exporting war machines and daily necessities.

South of the core area is a huge warehouse for raw materials and a transportation hub. These facilities are not permanent. When the main body of Naggarond moves to Ulthuan in the future, they will become the dust of history and be completely abandoned. Further south is the living area for the workers, with canteens, dormitories, maternal and child welfare hospitals, residential areas, civil facilities, auditoriums, theaters, bathhouses, and parks. Although its essence is still to serve production, it is at least more humane than the cold and oppressive environment in the past.

There is a place to eat, a place to see a doctor, a place to take a bath, to enjoy a play, to admire the flowers in the glass case in winter, and to go on a date. Why do you need a bicycle for this? Of course, you can afford a bicycle in twenty or thirty years.

The North District is the crucible of Duruchi’s war, with various military academies and training grounds scattered throughout. The landmark Great Temple of Edreze towers into the sky, becoming a spiritual pillar, and next to it is a museum that symbolizes the glory of the Duruchi War, displaying the spoils harvested from the thousand-year bloody battle.

This place will be called the "Edrezer District", which means the combination of war and faith.

To the north is the residential area. At the outermost edge, a special area was set up for soldiers and sailors to spend money. There were food stalls, restaurants, shops, casinos, baths, massage parlors and other places here, providing soldiers and sailors with a space to vent and entertain. Soldiers on leave could see bright signs when they entered the city, but sailors had to walk a distance.

The East District, where the port is located, will become a hub for transportation and logistics. Instead of large-scale demolition, it will be expanded to ensure that it can accommodate a larger fleet in the future while enhancing warehousing and logistics capabilities.

The West District is where the nobles live. After reconstruction, it will be mainly composed of unified villas and supporting facilities such as theaters, temporarily serving as the residence of the upper class. When King's Landing is completed and the main body of Naggarond is relocated, these villas will either become commercial properties or be completely demolished and rebuilt.

A broad and straight cross road will be centered on the towering Black Tower of Malekith, extending in four directions like a sharp blade, running through the entire core area of ​​Naggarond. The road is not only the main axis of urban planning, but also the benchmark for the division of the entire industrial, military and civilian areas.

At the same time, a railway running from north to south completely separated the eastern area, becoming an important lifeline connecting the port, industrial area and storage area. This railway not only bears the heavy responsibility of material transportation, but also reserves the possibility of future expansion, providing sufficient space for the development of Nagarond.

In the future, when the industrial system is fully rolled out, this railway will become the main artery for the operation of the entire Nagarond, ensuring that raw materials, fuel, finished products and other resources can flow efficiently and be accurately allocated, laying a solid foundation for the future.

In a sense, Nagarond is now a city destined to migrate. Its construction logic is different from that of traditional cities. It is more like a military exercise ready to go.

All plans are directed towards one ultimate goal - to rule Ulthuan.

But before that, Dacus can still make something out of it, like real estate?

There are no banks or savings systems in Druch society. Once salaries, military pay, and allowances are paid, they are either spent immediately or hidden in non-existent fireplaces.

There is a story behind looting fireplaces in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Mainly for security and concealment, the fireplace is usually located in the center of the home and is usually surrounded by shelter, making it a relatively hidden and safe place to hide valuables. In addition, the high temperature and flames of the fireplace can serve as a natural anti-theft measure, because few people would think of looking for valuables in the fireplace, but this hiding method has gradually become a kind of tacit understanding... just like putting a spare key under the blanket under the door.

But sadly, the fireplace will disappear from Duruci society for a long time.

The reconstruction of Nagarond will completely abandon the traditional spire-style buildings of the elves. Although those towering towers symbolize the elegance and splendor of the elven society, in reality, they seriously affect the land utilization rate and construction efficiency. In an era that requires large-scale industrialization and population agglomeration, spires are no longer suitable, and high-rise apartments are the future.

This construction model can not only greatly improve the efficiency of land use, but also speed up the construction progress, allowing more people to move into the new urban area as soon as possible. More importantly, the unified architectural style and planning are conducive to management and resource allocation, avoiding disorderly expansion within the city.

Of course, changes in the living environment are not only reflected in the architectural form, but also involve heating issues.

Dacus planned to use centralized heating, laying pipes and radiators in new buildings, similar to the heat circulation system of thermal power plants. In the extremely cold Nagarond, the standardization of heating facilities is crucial, whether it is civilians, workers or soldiers, there must be a stable source of heating.

But the problem is that the Duruchi society has not yet reached the stage of thermal power generation.

However, this issue was not urgent and he planned to address it at the beginning of the second five-year plan.

Therefore, it is impossible to hide money in the fireplace.

Safes and the like, if they do not solve the fundamental problem, may not be a problem in the short term, but over time, the problem will be exposed. Robbery, fraud, extortion, assassination and other problems are endless, and the safety of wealth is not guaranteed. Without circulation, the economic system cannot be established, and social productivity has stagnated for a long time.

Dacus knew very well that money was not meant to be buried in cellars, but to be circulated!

But he couldn't plunder wealth by killing people, so he had to use other methods. There is a saying: Sign here. This is faster than robbing money, efficient, and makes people seem willing.

However, the Drukis are not fools. Knowing that they will have to move, will they still buy fixed properties? Wouldn't it be better to live in government-provided housing?
He stopped and pondered for a moment, then his eyes fell on Bel-Ahor and Karahir, his tone calm and profound.

"You have seen the current situation. What do you think? Regarding real estate."

This is a problem that affects the entire body. Real estate is not just a matter of housing; it is related to the storage of wealth, the flow of capital, and even the reshaping of social structure.

There was no eye contact. Karahir was confused. Although his expression was still thinking, his eyes were slightly empty. His mind was blank. Although he tried to make himself look like he was thinking deeply, in fact, he had no idea about the concept of real estate.

His family had always been nomadic, and for various reasons, they had been migrating to different places in the Frostfall Region for many years. When he left Laurent, his family had just stopped nomadic and started to rebuild Kor Imamor.

The concept of real estate did not develop in his world at all, because there were too few Ainers in the Frostfall Zone. Even if they established a new Kor Imamor, they would not be able to fill it. Not to mention the complex class relations within Ainer, which further deepened this difficult situation. Although he occasionally went to Sessenmond as an envoy, he never focused on real estate. His understanding of land still remained in the territory rather than assets.

In contrast, Bel-Ahol's reaction was more direct. His body stiffened slightly for a moment, then he shrank his neck and his face turned pale. His eyes were cast into the darkness in the distance, with a complicated expression. After a moment, he licked his lips, as if he was organizing his words, and finally spoke.

“You want to make Drucci’s wealth flow through real estate?”

There was a hint of hesitation in his voice, and a hint of uneasiness at the same time.

In Ulthuan, land is more than just a piece of land. It is a hereditary symbol and a guarantee of honor, status, and family continuity. However, as an Asur noble, his understanding of wealth and land is different from that of most traditional nobles.

He was born in Lothern, and his family ranked first among the nobles of the Kingdom of Itain.

Where is Lothern?
It is one of the wealthiest regions in Ulthuan, the gateway to the kingdom, the location of the Phoenix Court, and one of Asur's powerful commercial centers!

"Pre-sale?"

He took a deep breath. He had sensed Dacus's intention. The idea was so radical that it even made him shudder. However, he still tentatively proposed a concept.

"Unfold." Daxus raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

"Real estate is meaningless at this time. Migration will make real estate lose its value." Bell-Aihor pondered for a moment, then slowly said. After speaking, he looked up at Dacus, and after seeing that he was recognized, he continued, "Pre-sale! Build standardized housing... sell standard housing... hiss..."

At the end of his speech, he took a breath and his train of thought was stuck. He knew that he had just touched upon some very subversive concept, but it was difficult for him to fully express it for a while.

"Good! This is a very good idea." Dacus smiled, with approval in his eyes. Although Bel-Aihor had not yet fully unfolded his thoughts, he had roughly guessed what Bel-Aihor wanted to express.

Specifically, it is to build standard houses that can be sold and sell them to those Duruchi who want to buy properties. From now until the future migration period, the owners of these properties can live in them with confidence.

When the core area of ​​Naggarond was moved to Nagarythe, the houses themselves could not be taken away, but the right to use and reside in the houses still existed.

After the relocation is completed, corresponding houses will be rebuilt on the new land, and the original owners can move in directly!

This means that real estate that was previously useless will begin to realize its value and become a current asset that can be transferred, regenerated, and recycled.

Is this the so-called pre-sale? Or some other term.

This idea can be extended further, such as the issue of usable area.

Suppose a Duruchi chooses to purchase a house with a usable area of ​​200 square meters by paying a down payment plus regular repayments. However, during the transition period in Naggaroth, due to land shortage, he can only get a temporary residence of 80 square meters to settle down temporarily. After moving back to Ulthuan, he will actually get the 200 square meters of property he purchased.

In this way, while ensuring the housing needs of residents, the officials of Druch can also flexibly allocate limited resources, allowing more people to lock in their future homes in advance and not give up the opportunity to own a home due to temporary living conditions.

According to this idea, this model can also be applied to industries such as farms.

It is also a pre-sale, but the difference is that the purchaser will be provided with a house to live in during the Naggaroth period to ensure that they have a place to live. After moving to Ulthuan, this house will be converted into a real farm for them to operate and cultivate.

Of course, a farm cannot be measured in two hundred square meters, that would be too absurd.

To make this system practical, Dacus needs to work on the details of down payment and regular repayment. For example, if someone wants to buy a larger farm, the down payment ratio and regular repayment amount will have to be increased appropriately. At the same time, it can also be divided into different areas or communities for subsequent management.

In addition, the land obtained through military merit can also be superimposed with the pre-purchased land.

That is to say, if a Druki has made enough achievements on the battlefield, he can use his military merits to exchange for additional land, which can be merged into his pre-purchased property or farm, thus owning a wider space and wealth. This can not only stimulate the fighting spirit of the army, but also allow those who truly contribute to the reconstruction of Ulthuan to be rewarded, rather than being taken advantage of by some speculators.

This system may seem complicated, but it is necessary.

The Duruch society is undergoing a radical change, and Dakus must ensure that the interests of these Duruch are not harmed, because these Duruch are the core and staunch supporters.

People’s hearts are different, and flowers have different shades of red.

People are never divided according to country, province, zodiac sign or constellation.

Some people live in the present and pursue immediate enjoyment; others focus on the future and plan for the long term.

What Dacus can do is to pave the road and lay a solid foundation so that everyone can find their place on this road.

If you want to live in the present, the consumption area in the North City District is ready for you and you can spend your wealth to your heart's content.

Looking to the future, houses in the South City and the North City will provide you with a stable home.

As for how to choose, it all depends on personal preference.

"After this period of busy work, you draw up a preliminary plan." Dacus thought for a moment, finally nodded, and instructed Bel-Ehor, "In addition to the main plan, try to include all possible problems and corresponding legal provisions."

Bel-Ahol took a deep breath and nodded heavily. He knew that his next task was not just empty talk, but a change that would affect the entire social structure.

But the moment he lowered his head in thought, an indescribable chill ran up his spine.

He vaguely felt that Daxus's plan was not just to get the Druchis to invest money, but to completely tie their identities to this change.

He couldn't describe what the feeling was. It was as if he was standing on a huge chessboard, and Daxus was placing chess pieces one by one, blocking, laying out, and advancing the entire game bit by bit.

Excitement? Or fear?
He was very excited.

This was his first time to truly participate in such a grand social change. It could even be said that this was not just an economic adjustment, but a thorough social reconstruction. He saw that he had the opportunity to be a witness, participant, and even promoter of this change. His suggestions and plans might affect the future development direction of the Duruchi society and even determine the operating model of the entire Nagaros.

This feeling of power intoxicated him, it was something he had never experienced before.

However, he was more afraid.

Because he is Asur.

Having said this, Dacus did not stop and turned around to move forward. In his opinion, this matter was not urgent at all. It would take ten years for the common people in Duruchi to be able to pay the down payment. Now it has not been demolished yet.

Of course, you can draw the pie and post the notice first, just like the land he promised to the Duruchi soldiers in his speech that day.

Hirsis, who was one step behind, looked deeply at Bel-Aihor, who was still saluting and in a daze, and then silently followed Dacus's steps. (End of this chapter)
