In a short time, Su Yuan had figured out how to deal with these small tribes that came seeking refuge.
Looking at their tense expressions, he said calmly.
"Let's come in first and talk about it later."
The group of people blocking the gate had already attracted a lot of attention.
Su Yuan led them into the town mayor's courtyard, where there was a small meeting room with more than twenty chairs.
There was a large table in the middle, where the little beast girl who had come to work had already set out several sweet drinks.
The comfortable chairs didn't shake at all. After everyone sat down, they were somewhat surprised and placed their hands on the armrests, feeling a sense of comfort rising inexplicably from their hearts.
And the water, with its slightly sweet taste, made everyone forget why they had come here.
Su Yuan sat in the center of the seat, and after thinking about his plan, he spoke.
"First, I don't need any of your salt...not even saltstone powder, nor food or anything else."
Upon hearing this, everyone's attention was drawn away from the sweet drinks, but no one spoke; these things are often the simplest and cheapest.
"Secondly, I need you to establish tribes near my town, because there is a large flow of people trading here, so we can't support places that are too far away."
"We can accept this."
It would be even better to establish a tribe near a stream, as moving to a better place wouldn't be a big problem for these small tribes.
Now that we've covered the benefits, it's time to reveal Su Yuan's true purpose.
"Third, I need you to come to this town to conduct the transaction, and the transaction will still be conducted according to our currency regulations."
"But Chief, we don't know what to trade. The food we hunt each day is just enough for our tribe to eat."
Su Yuan's words made some small tribes hesitate; they were certainly willing to trade.
But all they had to offer were a few tattered animal hides, which they even had to keep for making clothes for their own people. They had no spare items to trade.
“Then we’ll use our labor, and I’ll also help you develop your aquaculture industry.”
"Labor force? Animal husbandry?"
Some people were confused, so Su Yuan explained.
"The labor force is what we lack to complete the construction and other work. We need your respective tribes to send some people to do the work."
"However, we also give some money to the workers every month so that they can buy some food and salt."
Labor was not the focus; his idea was to bring the beast girls from these tribes to him as apprentices in various industries.
Once they've completed their apprenticeship, they'll most likely stay here to continue working, since there's no place to use their skills once they go back home.
In this way, they not only acquired labor but also cultivated talent for themselves.
However, the most important point is still the aquaculture industry. Currently, the area outside Moon Pivot City is responsible for agricultural development, with vast fields of farmland being planted.
Xinghai Town is responsible for the development of the aquaculture industry, but the riverside area near Xinghai Town is not suitable for further expansion, while the demand within the town is increasing day by day.
Especially after the advent of flour, the demand for animal milk has been increasing. Even animal milk that was once difficult to sell, like that of Lu Xi, can now fetch a good price on the market.
