Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 34 Summary of Tribal Development (I)

The meeting officially began, and Meng Zheng spoke first: "Everyone, the territory can be officially upgraded today. Now is a critical period. I hope everyone can speak freely and discuss the future development direction of the territory together."

"Now, I want to know the overall work results and problems that have arisen in the past few days. I hope everyone will speak freely and work together for the territory."

Jiang Bin spoke first, holding up his thick-leafed notebook and reporting in detail the latest logistical situation of the territory: "There are currently 82 gray-tailed mermaids and 108 abyssal beasts in the territory, including 4 fish herder apprentices, 2 craftsman apprentices, 7 coral weaver apprentices, 5 junior shell craftsmen, 4 junior tailors, and 60 unemployed gray-tailed mermaids.

There are 83 adult Abyssal Beasts and 25 cubs among the Abyssal Beasts. Among them, 10 cubs are close to adulthood. I believe that after some time, they can be used to build the territory.

Since we got the help of the Earth Beast, the transportation of various materials in our territory has become much more convenient, which has accelerated the efficiency of resource collection for the tribe.

There are now two resource points in the territory, one of which is the specialty area of ​​Sea Spirit Bamboo. Eight people and ten Earth Abyss Beasts have been arranged to follow Lord Cang Jing to collect various resources of Sea Spirit Bamboo.

东部山坡资源点有12人与20头地渊兽，每日可以采集300单位海藻、海草，500单位木材、300单位石料，200单位珊瑚石等。

The rest of the Abyss Beasts and their cubs all live in the tribe. Except for the cubs, which have no work assigned to them, the rest of the Abyss Beasts all participate in the work of moving the territory.

The territory's current material reserves include: 1000 units of edible seaweed and seaweed, 500 units of aquatic mushrooms, and 5 pieces of 2500 schools of white spirit fish, which can provide the tribe with normal food for more than three months.

1500 units of wood, 1200 units of stone, 1100 units of coral, and 50 pieces of turtle shells and Nogan Lake stone fragments."

Jiang Bin paused, glanced at Cangmu, and continued, "At present, all the buildings in the territory have been basically repaired, and 66 mermaid huts have been built, which can accommodate 330 mermaids.

According to the current territory plan, I will continue to arrange for the Graytail Mermaids to build 10 Mermaid shacks per day to ensure that there are enough houses for the people to live in once they move in.

After listening to Jiang Bin's report, Meng Zheng was very satisfied. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are there any mermaid couples forming in the territory now?"

"Master, several mermen in our territory have expressed their willingness to marry and live together. However, since we haven't yet established a formal marriage system, most of them are still at the stage of verbal agreement."

After hearing this, Meng Zheng gently swept his eyes over everyone present and said slowly, "This is a good sign, indicating that our territory is gradually forming a warm and emotional society. In order to respect the emotional needs of the mermaids and maintain order in the territory, I believe we should provide convenience to those mermaids in need as soon as possible.

There are currently some extra merman shacks available in the territory. Mermaids forming couples can apply for an independent residence. However, to be successful, they must complete designated mission objectives, whether it's gathering or building construction. You'll take the lead in deciding this, and come up with a plan as soon as possible."

Meng Zheng looked at Jiang Bin and gave him the task.

Jiang Bin quickly nodded in agreement. Seeing Jiang Bin nod, Meng Zheng continued:

"Mermaid families should enjoy certain priority in housing allocation and resource acquisition to encourage more mermaids to form families and stabilize the territory's social structure."

As the territory develops, we will eventually have to implement a privatization system. Although we don’t have the conditions for this now, we will have to do it step by step.

If privatization is implemented, then encouraging members of the tribe to form small families is a very good idea.

As Meng Zheng finished speaking, the meeting hall erupted in agreement. Jiang Bin accepted the task with a resolute expression, fully aware of its urgency and importance. "Chief, I understand your point. I will immediately begin developing a plan to ensure that these merpeople willing to form partnerships can successfully apply for independent housing. At the same time, I will also set reasonable mission objectives based on the current situation in the territory, ensuring they can achieve them through hard work while also contributing to the territory's development."

Meng Zheng nodded with satisfaction. He believed in Jiang Bin's ability and also believed that this policy would have a positive impact on the territory.

"Very good, Jiang Bin. You must not only formulate a plan, but also ensure that the implementation of this policy is fair and just, so that every mermaid can feel the care and warmth of the territory. At the same time, you must also use this policy to inspire the enthusiasm and creativity of the mermaids, so that they can contribute to the development of the territory together."

After expressing his thoughts, Meng Zheng signaled the next person to continue speaking.

Mu Yu raised his hand and said, "Chief, I have traveled over the area of ​​more than 300 miles around the territory these days and found more than ten large schools of fish that can be subdued, hundreds of medium-sized schools of fish, and countless small schools of fish.

Among these schools of fish, the white spirit fish is rich in spiritual energy, but its number is the smallest, with only five medium-sized schools in total. I have tamed them all and brought them back.

Later, I will bring two fish herder apprentices with me to continue taming new schools of fish and return them to the tribe to provide them with sufficient food."

"Have you found any high-value fish?" Meng Zheng asked.

Tianyu Lake is extremely vast, rich in resources, and has countless fish. However, apart from the white spirit fish, Meng Zheng has not found any better fish to raise.

"Of course, I've already set my sights on some of the fish I've been targeting these days. Among them are the golden jade fish, which is rich in blood and can strengthen the body, and the whitefin fish, which has a very fast reproductive capacity. They are all good choices for fish farming."

Hearing Mu Yu's report, Meng Zheng's eyes flashed with surprise. He hadn't expected Mu Yu to find so many high-value fish. This was undoubtedly great news for the development of the territory.

"Mu Yu, you've done a great job! These fish are very important to our territory. Not only do they provide a rich source of food, but they also strengthen our people and improve our combat effectiveness." Meng Zheng nodded approvingly and continued, "The golden jade fish and whitefin fish you mentioned are both excellent choices. We need to tame and raise them as soon as possible."

Mu Yu smiled proudly upon hearing this. She knew her task was arduous, but seeing the clan leader attach so much importance to her achievements filled her with motivation.

"Chief, I will continue to work hard to tame more high-value fish. At the same time, I will train more fish herder apprentices, allowing them to master the techniques of taming fish and contribute to the development of the territory."

Meng Zheng looked at Mu Yu with satisfaction, knowing full well what Mu Yu had contributed.

Ever since Mu Yu joined the territory, he has hardly ever spent any time in the territory. He was either searching for fish or taming fish. He also found a group of dugongs for the territory. It is no exaggeration to say that he has made great contributions.

"You've worked hard during this period. Now that the territory has enough food stored, you can rest for a few days before taming the fish." Seeing Mu Yu about to say something, Meng Zheng quickly interrupted: "Of course, if you really can't spare the time, you can teach the apprentice fish herders in the territory and strive to make some breakthroughs. This will also help share the burden. Otherwise, you will be exhausted if you rely on yourself alone."

　I would like to thank Liulangdao Shanghai and Zifeiyu for their rewards. It really brought tears to the eyes of the author. I will definitely not let them down and will work hard to write this book well. I will definitely update it frequently after it is put on the shelves.

　　I would also like to thank you all for your recommendation votes and monthly votes. Thank you for your support.
