"Do you want to hire orc workers?" President Leersa frowned at Xu Yi, thought for a moment, and slowly shook his head. "President Xu, I have to say, this is probably not a good idea."
Xu Yi had long expected President Leersa's reaction, so he wasn't too surprised. He just smiled and asked, "Why?"
"The orcs are different from the dwarves and elves. They will not keep their promises and work peacefully like the dwarves and elves. I have been doing business with the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland for such a long time, and I know that the orcs The tribe is actually not much different from those beasts. They are simply cruel by nature, and there is no reason to employ them as workers. I’m afraid the consequences will be unpredictable.”
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "I don't think this is a problem. Even beasts with ferocious nature can still get along with humans normally and accept their management after being domesticated. No matter how close the orcs are to the beasts, they are still considered one of the intelligent races. . Before I came here, I studied the history of the mainland, but I felt that the reason why they have been so cruel is because they have never had a good living environment, and they have never had any special ability to survive. , so in order to survive, they have to directly plunder other races, which makes them look cruel.”
"You want to say that as long as these orcs are given a stable living environment, they will get along with us humans normally?" President Leersa shook his head. "President Xu, your idea is a bit...a bit naive. Brutality is the nature of these orcs, just like wild beasts. Even if they are domesticated, they will not lose their nature."
"Then let's give an example." Xu Yi pointed to the Worrall werewolf tribe behind the two and asked: "President Leersa, how long have you been doing business with this werewolf tribe?"
President Leersa didn't expect Xu Yi to suddenly change the topic here. He was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and replied: "About... almost twenty years."
"So in the past twenty years, has the Worrall Werewolf Tribe done anything to humans?" Xu Yi asked again.
President Leersa snorted coldly: "How dare he! This tribe is the closest orc tribe to the small town of Samara. If they dared to do anything excessive, they would have been razed by the Kingdom's army long ago. Even if the Kingdom As long as the army doesn't cause trouble for them, it's guaranteed that they won't be able to live a single day without any human merchants doing business with them!"
"Is it because all their daily necessities are basically provided by our human Chamber of Commerce?"
"Well. Not to mention salt, which they absolutely cannot live without. Just the oil, vinegar, tea, and even the clothes they wear are provided by us human traders. Now the orcs in their tribe are completely accustomed to living If they were allowed to live a life similar to that of us humans, where they could only eat raw flesh and blood, and they could only eat some salt by robbing them, they would definitely not be able to survive," President Leersa replied.
"So can they get it?"
"Want to grab it?" President Leersa chuckled. "Although there are always orcs who dare to rob our human caravans in the Black Rice Wasteland, they are getting fewer and fewer every year. Guys like the independent orc army we met yesterday are unique. These orcs are not fools. Since the old If you can live a better life by honestly doing business with our human chamber of commerce, why take the risk of offending us and live the miserable life you had before... "
Speaking of which. President Leersa suddenly paused and stared at Xu Yi for a while, revealing a hint of surprise.
"I understand. President Xu, you are trying to say that as long as we provide those orcs with stable jobs so that they can truly have a life similar to that of us humans, they will not be stupid enough to destroy this life themselves, right? ?”
Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is exactly what I want to say. You also said it just now. The orcs are not fools, they also hope to live a good life. In the past, they could not see any other way, just They can satisfy their needs by robbing humans, but now they are far less powerful than humans, and they are afraid of retaliation if they want to rob. At this time, if you give them an alternative to robbing, you can live a good life. Do you think they would disagree?"
President Leersa pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "I think I understand what you mean. But President Xu, there is another issue that you have not considered."
"oh?"
"You also said that the orcs will honestly accept the choice we offer them because they are currently insufficient in strength. But if they are allowed to live a good life, their strength will gradually increase. I think they Sooner or later his true nature will show up, and then he will be in big trouble.”
"Well, I admit that your concerns are reasonable, but why should we let their strength increase?" Xu Yi showed a meaningful smile. "Although the improvement of the quality of life of orcs may increase the number of orcs, posing a threat to us humans. But there is actually a very simple way to minimize this threat."
"What method?" President Leersa asked curiously.
"The way to do this is to start with the 'labor certificate' that Chief Woller longs for. That's all it takes..."
###
Three days later, Xu Yi left the Woller Werewolf Tribe and returned to the small town of Samara. He successfully met Anklu who came here to greet Xu Yi.
As soon as he saw Xu Yi, Anklu immediately opened his arms, hugged him tightly, and sighed in a very exaggerated tone: "President Xu, I am really impatient to wait for you."
Xu Yi couldn't help but feel goosebumps rising on his body.
If these words were said from the mouth of a beautiful woman, he might enjoy it, but when said from the mouth of such an unshaven middle-aged man, it sounds weird.
Thinking that Sainz Continent does not seem to have any discrimination against the homosexuality between men, Xu Yi quickly broke away from Ankru's arms and said with a forced smile: "I'm here."
"Yes, President Xu is a person who keeps his promises after all, and he is here after all." Anklu laughed, looked around, and wondered: "But President Xu, are you the only one going this time?" Don’t you bring some assistants?”
"Assistant?" Xu Yi thought for a moment and shouted into the air on his right. "Yanice, come out and meet Mr. Ancru. You may have to contact him after you arrive in the Principality of Standing. It will be more convenient to get to know him in advance."
Under the stunned gaze of Ancru, Yanis's figure appeared from the void, nodded slightly to Ancru and said: "Hello, Mr. Ancru, my name is Yanis, and I am the president. subordinates.”
Anklu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, looked at Yanis with a smile and said: "I have long heard that there are many elves employed in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. I never had the opportunity to see them when I was in Bangta City before. , I didn’t expect to see it here with my own eyes now. Hello, Miss Yanis, since you are President Xu’s assistant, I may ask for your help on many things in the future.”
Xu Yi took a look at the expression on Anklu's face and said with some surprise: "Mr. Anklu, you don't seem to be very surprised to see the elves suddenly?"
Angkru smiled and nodded: "Yes, our Principality of Standing is different from your Kingdom of Lampali. We often see elves in the principality, so I have seen elves many times before, so naturally I will not Surprised to see Miss Yanis.”
Xu Yi looked at Yanis in shock. Yanis immediately understood what Xu Yi meant and nodded: "The Moon Shadow Tribe is much larger than our Night Song Tribe. I heard the elders mentioned it before, saying that they have more than three thousand elves in total. Compatriots, so they will never appear in front of humans like our tribe."
After hearing this explanation, Xu Yi understood instantly.
To put it simply, the difference in human power between the Yege tribe and the Lampali Kingdom is too great, so in order to ensure safety, the elves from the Yege tribe will not appear in front of the humans in the Lampali Kingdom.
While the national power of the Principality of Standing is much weaker, on the contrary, the power of the elves of the Moon Shadow Tribe is much stronger than that of the Night Song Tribe, so the elves of the Moon Shadow Tribe can often appear in front of the humans of the Principality of Standing without much scruples.
"But why haven't I heard of this before? Before I met you, Yanis, almost everyone told me that the elves were about to disappear from this continent." Xu Yi asked.
"That's because our Principality of Standing is too weak, so other countries on the continent will not pay attention to the news about our Principality." Anklu answered with a wry smile.
Xu Yi nodded, thinking that this was also because the level of transportation and communication on the continent of Sainz was extremely low, which was why no one paid attention to the news about the Principality of Standing.
The same situation is put on the earth. Big news like this often happens to the elves. Not to mention that the Principality of Standing is at least a normal country. Even if these elves appear in an uninhabited desert or a tropical rain forest, they will not be affected. It is guaranteed to be dug up and the news spread to every corner of the earth in an instant.
But Xu Yi's focus is not here.
The reason why he didn't bring anyone with him this time, but specifically asked Yanis to finish her and the ten elves' work of exploring the terrain in the Black Rice Wasteland, and brought her here was because he heard Elushi say before setting off. Elder Ya mentioned the Moon Shadow Tribe in the Principality of Standing.
According to Elder Elushia, this Moon Shadow tribe is likely to be the largest elf tribe on the Sainz continent.
Since Xu Yi can establish a good relationship with the elves of the Night Song tribe in the Lampali Kingdom, he certainly hopes to use this relationship to establish a relationship with the Yueying tribe, and it is best to reach cooperation.
Xu Yi knew almost nothing about the Principality of Standing before. If he could establish a relationship with the Moon Shadow Tribe, it would be very convenient for him to move around the Principality of Standing.
Seeing that Xu Yi didn't ask any more questions, Anklu immediately showed a questioning expression to Xu Yi and said: "President Xu, if you are ready, let's set off?"
Xu Yi looked at Yanis and saw her nodding to indicate that she was ready, so he smiled and said, "Let's go."
