Chapter 75 Secondary Project_1
The matter of digging canals and constructing roads was approved at the meeting.
The previous acquisition agreement for agarwood simply established a supply and demand relationship between Eternal Domain and the Werewolf Tribe.
But a supply and demand relationship is not stable, as many factors could disrupt it.
For instance, Yan Xing’s actions—significantly increasing the exchange price of agarwood—had pushed Eden, who had done business with the Werewolf Tribe for a long time, out of the picture.
The goal was to inextricably bind the interests of Eternal Domain with those of the Werewolf Tribe, making Eternal Domain an entity the Werewolf Tribe would protect with their lives. For this, both parties needed a more stable and solid relationship.
Making Eternal Domain the political, economic, and cultural center for the Werewolf Tribe was the ultimate goal. To achieve this, Yan Xing needed to proceed step by step.
Exchanging agarwood for food was just the first step.
Turning food into a "currency" recognized by the Werewolf Tribe was the second step.
The construction of canals and roads would not only facilitate the flow of goods between Eternal Domain and the swamp.
It also aimed to gradually transform the Werewolf Tribe from self-sufficient hunters and gatherers into industrial workers.
Once the werewolves get used to earning a salary that provides a life where they have enough to eat and wear, will they still risk hunting in the swamps?
