God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

For the Yuan family, rapid self-development is the most important goal and direction.

During this process, it is best not to lose your own strength or stop developing.

But things are not absolute, and nothing will go smoothly as planned. There will always be various accidents that hinder the pace of development.

In order to gather a large number of people and increase human resources, in addition to migration from within the country, it also includes re-education, help with employment and resettlement of ethnic minority populations, etc.

In addition to these, it also includes collecting and luring people from the three major barbarians, most of whom are Slavs.

Because they have not yet established their own civilization and spiritual beliefs, and have no specific understanding of their own race, it is very easy for them to change their appearance.

As for the other two barbarians, it was much more difficult to seduce them, but at least we had contact with them and understood their situation.

Obviously, things were not going well for the Germanic and Celtic peoples during this period. They were pinned down and rubbed by the Roman Empire and were almost beaten to death.

When the Roman Empire got serious, the numerous barbarians in the north, except the Germans and Celts, were either killed or conquered.

The Roman Empire's unique system meant that it had a strong ability to oppress and exploit the barbarians and had an extremely high demand for them.

No matter who the other party is, conquering the other party, making the other party abide by the law of nations, and serving the Roman Empire are all areas in which the Roman Empire excels.

It can be said that no matter whether it was the Germanic people or the Celts, the Roman Empire had the desire to conquer the other side and then use it for its own benefit.

Not only can you plunder the opponent's wealth, but you can also reduce the consumption of your own expedition, and you can continuously exploit the opponent and obtain continuous wealth support.

Judging from these effects alone, the Roman Empire, which embarked on the path of expansion, possessed extremely strong expansion capabilities and sustainable plundering capabilities.

In this situation, both the Germans and the Celts felt the power from the Roman Empire.

After realizing that the Roman Empire was serious, I experienced firsthand the idea of ​​"the lips and teeth are in danger when one is gone".

There is still a glimmer of hope if we work together. If we don't even cooperate, then we will die an ugly and uglier death.

Under such circumstances between the Germans and Celts, the Yuan family, who also understood the situation of these two forces, naturally had multiple choices.

You have to make a choice between taking advantage of someone's misfortune and helping someone in need. Now that you're here, you can't just do nothing, right?
If we really do nothing, wouldn’t it be a waste of this rare opportunity?

"At the moment of life and death, there is nothing that cannot be given up in order to survive, so I suggest a higher price." Xu You looked at the fiery steel furnace in front of him and directly indicated to ask for a high price.

"It's not just a sale of money. If the price is set too high, the other party probably won't be willing..." Tian Feng frowned slightly, then quickly added.

The transactions with the Germans and Celts were not simply transactions of money and goods.

The Yuan family is not short of money at the moment, so it is naturally impossible for them to exchange money. They can only exchange for other things.

What is most lacking at present is human resources, that is, available labor, which has the highest priority. Of course, whether it is the Germanic people or the Celtic people, they also need a large number of laborers to engage in war, and the population that can be exchanged is not large.

As for the prisoners on the battlefield, basically no one present thought about them.

How many prisoners could the Germans and Celts, who had more defeats than victories, capture when they could not even win?
Therefore, the goal set by the Yuan family at the beginning was very simple, which was to collect the extra women due to the war.

It not only provides a certain level of productivity, but also provides the possibility for subsequent development.

In any case, those who were able to come to this place and establish their own country naturally account for the majority of the population, young and middle-aged people, and mainly men.

In this case, domestic migration alone is not enough, because migration itself carries certain risks, and given the importance attached to labor, the majority of those who migrate are men.

This has led to the fact that the current population of the Yuan family is basically an abundant labor force, but from the perspective of long-term development, this is definitely not suitable.

As an adviser to the Yuan family, he must find a way to solve this problem.

The method proposed by Chen Xi, to some extent, still provides a solution to the problem.

Although this method is not very friendly, it is at least a solution to the problem.

Anyway, we have learned from previous experiences, so the embarrassment will not be so obvious. Moreover, such a major event is beneficial to the country, so let it be gray. It won't be obvious anyway.

In a sense, their behavior can also be called humanitarian rescue. Saving people from distress should be praised as a merit.

It can be said that after thinking about this aspect, Guo Tu, who once proposed this method, regained his confidence after changing his way of thinking.

As for other people, faced with this method, they just pretend they don't know.

Of course, the only things worth the Germans and Celts using such resources to exchange were weapons and food.

Fortunately, the Celts also possessed certain metal smelting technology. Although it could not meet the needs of agricultural production, they could still barely achieve self-sufficiency in terms of weapons.

But it was different for the Germans. Due to their huge number, they were unable to gather enough troops because of the limitations of weapons and armor.

It’s not a big deal if there’s no armor, the worst that can happen is that the casualty rate will be a little higher, but if there’s no weapons at all, the casualties that can be caused will be pitiful.

It can be said that as long as there are sufficient weapons and armor, it would be difficult for the Germanic people, with a population of millions, to mobilize an army of hundreds of thousands?
It may sound a bit warlike, but it will definitely not be a problem in the short term.

"But if we do this, the Roman Empire will certainly delve into the reasons behind it, and then we will be in a lot of trouble." Yuan Tan thought of the diplomatic situation and there was a high possibility that unexpected situations would occur.

"The dignity of an empire is fought for, not given by others. When facing the Roman Empire, the best way to gain dignity is always to defeat the opponent, rather than to give in to the opponent. It's just to make it more difficult for the opponent in advance. The land of Eastern Europe is very good, and we don't need to give it to the Roman Empire, even if there is an absolute gap in strength between us!" Ju Su had an absolutely correct understanding of himself, and his words were full of decisiveness.
