The most peculiar race among the orcs, the mermaids, also amazed Luo Luo. Strictly speaking, the mermaids do not belong to the orc race. They are similar to the legendary mermaids in the Blue Star era. Luo Luo also called them that. Female mermaids are called mermaids, after all, they are really beautiful.
And high-level mermaids can even transform their legs and walk on land like humans. But you can tell from their appearance alone. When the two stand together, the mermaids are equivalent to turning on a level 10 beauty filter. They are one of the few races in the God's Domain that can be compared with the fox people in appearance. Other creatures affectionately call them the two beauties of the God's Domain.
The mermaids are gentle and live on small islands in the water all year round, mostly distributed along the coast. They are different from the fishmen. The ugliness of the fishmen is closer to that of beasts. They are just standing fish. The two are not the same race. It feels like mermaids evolved from humans, while fishmen evolved from fish. The gap is far.
Mermaids are close to water and can be said to be good at water. Luo Luo made full use of his talents and handed over the fishing and fish farming industries to the mermaids. This decision increased the fish resources. The daily harvest of fish resources increased by about 40%. Moreover, the aquatic products farmed by the mermaids are all plump.
As for the Behemoths, which were once the main fighting race of Sada, he took most of them to the battlefield. So there are only a few dozen left. Most of them are teenagers of the Behemoths. It will take a few years for them to grow up, and the fertility rate of the Behemoths is low. A pair of Behemoths may only give birth to five or six offspring in their lifetime. This is the lowest among most ethnic groups.
And Luo Luo also attaches great importance to them. After all, the advantages of Behemoths are quite outstanding. They are tall. And the strength is the best of most creatures. In Luo Luo's divine domain, these Behemoths are the strongest and have good physiques, indicating that their endurance, recovery, and vitality are far superior to other races. It can be imagined that in future wars, robots will hold rifles while Behemoths can carry cannons and missiles on their shoulders. How majestic this is. And if giant weapons specifically targeting Behemoths are developed in the future, it will not only improve Rollo's combat effectiveness, but also greatly. After all, living things are more flexible than current machines.
Of course, the Behemoths are too big for other races. Rollo did not force them to go to human cities, after all, ordinary streets and houses could not accommodate them, so in order to solve this problem, Rollo specially allocated an exclusive area for Behemoths. He also ordered the engineering team to build houses for them here, which were also built according to their body shapes. This exhausted the construction team. Fortunately, the Behemoths knew that these people were here to help them, and they often helped. If it weren't for their strong strength and good physique, they would have taken such heavy materials to the target location in one hand, which saved a lot of trouble for the construction of the engineering team. After all, if machines are used, although the same effect can be achieved, it is of course much more troublesome. Their advantages have been reflected before they even went to the battlefield.
And the problem of their large appetite is not a problem for Rollo. He knows that the main reason why there were only more than 1,800 Behemoths in Sada before was because of food shortage. As the God of Beasts, Sadar was not proficient in the planning of the God's Domain. He did not let his subjects grow food or raise animals, which made his subjects in the God's Domain often fight for food. The large appetite of the Behemoth also made the population of their race unable to increase. Now this problem has been solved. The fertility rate should be able to increase. Luo Luo certainly hopes that they can be as many as possible.
Of course, the reality is that it is impossible for all creatures to understand the racial integration policy and live in harmony with other races.
Moonlight Tavern
This is a place opened by natural elf merchants in the God's Capital to sell elf wine.
It is deeply loved by some creatures who have been doing hard labor for a long time. They have enough money to consume such expensive things. Although food can be said to be everywhere in the God's Domain, and the creatures in the entire God's Domain cannot eat it all for hundreds of years, so the price of wine is relatively low, but the elves use relatively rare fruits in the God's Domain to make wine, so the wine they brew has a high premium. It is also a luxury. Therefore, every glass of wine sold in the Moonlight Tavern is sky-high. This has caused dissatisfaction among some other races.
The dwarves are simple in character, but very hot-tempered, which is due to their long-term contact with fire and steel, which has created their irritable temper. But they are irritable, love to drink, and are addicted to alcohol. The Moonlight Tavern is a place where nearby dwarves often come. Most of their monthly wages are spent here. This makes some dwarves often calculate carefully when drinking and feel unhappy. But following the principle of the original integration of the Rollo race has always suppressed dissatisfaction.
After a long time, this problem broke out.
Master Lakto, who has the best metallurgical skills among the dwarves, is a frequent visitor to the Moonlight Tavern, but even with his high salary, he cannot say that he can spend freely in the Moonlight Tavern. Coming once a month is quite luxurious. You can imagine how expensive the wine in the Moonlight Tavern is, and Krato also has a big family to support. Although the dwarves are small, they are all muscular men, and they usually consume more. I didn't have enough to eat before, but after coming to the Rollo Divine Realm. Although food and drink were not a problem, he had to have meat every time he had a full stomach. This meant that although Krato had a higher income than the average person, he had to calculate the expenses every time he came to drink for the sake of his family's livelihood.
"I clearly brought two silver coins, how come there is only one left?" Lakto always brought two silver coins when drinking so that he could drink four glasses at a time. This time, when he bought wine, he found that one was missing and he couldn't find it.
Such a stingy look made Ash, the manager of the Moonlight Tavern, very dissatisfied. He was just recruited by the owner of the tavern. Because the business of the Moonlight Tavern was good, the owner decided to expand the business to other cities, so he sent the previous manager who was also her confidant to open up new markets, which led to the shortage of personnel. Ash was just recruited from the elves. The treatment of the Moonlight Tavern is very high. The elves know that if they can work here, it is a good opportunity for everyone. Ash won the job with his soft face. He wanted to achieve more, but in the past month. A lot of cities have begun to become popular with something called white wine. This is the alcohol brewed by grain obtained by humans through distillation. It is different from the alcohol brewed by the elves with fruits. Both can be said to have their own flavors. But although the price of white wine is also high, it is several times cheaper than the fruit wine of the elves. This caused Ash to take over the Moonlight Tavern, but the performance plummeted.
Lactor is a regular customer of this tavern, but he only comes once a month, so this is the first time the two have met. Ash was exhausted by the decline in sales. Then he happened to meet the stingy Lactor, which ignited his anger. In addition, Lactor complained when buying wine that the wine of the elves is good, but the price is too high and many times more expensive than white wine.
Then Ash completely exploded and cursed Lactor for being a poor ghost. He only deserves to drink the inferior wine brewed by humans and not the good wine of the elves.
Lactor also has a hot temper and immediately cursed Ash and others for being profiteers. The two quarreled and even fought, and most of the other guests in the hotel were regular customers of the Moonlight Tavern. They all knew Lactor and knew that Lactor's character was not bad. Moreover, the customers who witnessed the whole process of the incident felt that Ash's words were a bit excessive. After all, he was just complaining a few words but was insulted and abused. No one could tolerate it, so everyone was on Lakto's side, which made Ash feel wronged. He began to push and shove Lakto to drive him away. But Lakto would not let him do as he wished. Not only did he pay for the wine but he was not given it, but he was also abused for no reason. How could he tolerate this? Lakto, a dwarf with a hot temper, was pushed by Ash. Instead, he pushed him down directly. This ignited the gunpowder barrel, and Ash began to call his fellow tribesmen in the kitchen and the lounge to besiege Lakto, and Lakto was not easy to mess with. Most of the people present were dwarves, and he called for hundreds of people to respond, and the two started fighting in the Moonlight Tavern.
At this time, Rollo had just absorbed new races. People from the cat people, rabbit people, and fox people had just entered the capital of God to live. As for the other half-orcs, some of the jackals came to the capital to make a living. These half-orcs who had just come here to live did not have much money, so they did not drink in the Moonlight Tavern where the consumption level was higher, so they did not feel deeply about the dissatisfaction of the dwarves.
But other races who had lived in the capital earlier felt the same dissatisfaction of the dwarves. This made the other races stand aside and no one wanted to stand up when the dwarves made trouble in the Moonlight Tavern and seemed to be the advantageous party.
The quarrel evolved into a racial confrontation. Both sides of the fight called their friends. The commercial street where the Moonlight Tavern was located was crowded. Other races were also watching the excitement around. After all, the matter was so big that they did not want to get involved.
The angry two sides messed up the commercial street. And many passers-by who were watching the excitement were innocent. Until then, the mechanical patrol who got the news immediately rushed over and forcibly separated the two.
They asked the two about the problem that had just happened on the street. After all, such a big struggle occurred. We need to set an example for everyone.
But when asking about the cause of the whole incident, even the patrol of the mechanical race felt a little tricky. After all, both sides said that the other side started the fight first and cursed first. The key issue now is whether Lakto's complaint is an insult to the elves. After all, it is in someone else's tavern that he badmouths someone else's wine, and it is very difficult to judge this matter. The divine domain regulations promulgated by Rollo did not clearly mention this point. Then in the robot's brain, it is impossible to judge such a vague condition.
At this time, the commercial street was surrounded by people from various races who were watching. They all wanted to see how this incident was resolved.
Rollo was patrolling the divine domain. He saw that the commercial room was full of people. At first, he thought that some activities were just being held here, but when he looked closely, he found that the ground was in a mess, and he thought something had happened. After communicating with the machine patrol, he also understood the cause and process of the incident.
This is a major problem in his opinion. On the surface, this is a fight caused by a quarrel between the elves and the dwarves, but in his opinion, this is a problem that arises in racial integration. The different customs of each race will cause great misunderstandings.
This is not the first conflict in recent years. There are many problems in the integration process of various races. Often due to misunderstandings caused by some trivial matters or different understandings, quarrels and fights occur, and even various group fights are triggered.
Luo Luo knew that there was a problem with his management, and he needed to find a solution. Of course, the first thing to do was to solve this matter. He called the parties involved, Lakto from the dwarf tribe and Ash from the elf tribe, to come over.
At this time, the onlookers suddenly found that the mechanical patrol was kneeling and fist-kneeling. They shouted that the God was coming. Everyone also knelt and saluted, waiting for Rollo to lecture them.
"I already know about this matter. Now the parties involved, Lakto and Ash, come forward."
Lakto and Ash also knew that the matter was out of control. They would definitely be held accountable, but they did not expect to attract their own gods directly.
"Reporting to the God. I am Lakto from the Black Rock Dwarf Clan."
"Reporting to the God, I am Ash from the Natural Elf Clan."
"Then who of you will go first to talk about the cause of this incident?"
"I will go first." Multiply by two. Both of them wanted to speak first, and neither of them gave in, but in front of the God, they could only stare at each other.
Rollo had a headache, and he designated one person and said, "Then Lakto, you go first."
"My God, I bought wine from him, but he insulted me as a poor ghost. A man can be killed but not insulted." Lakto's face flushed when he said this.
Seeing Lakto's expression, Rollo knew that he was not lying, and he turned to look at Ash.
"My God is lying. He said before that our wine is not as good as white wine, and the key is that he said it in front of me in the tavern. How can I tolerate this?"
After hearing Ash's words, Lakto immediately retorted: "I am telling the truth. What you sell is more expensive than white wine."
Ash couldn't bear him either: "Then you should drink white wine, don't come to our tavern to drink. Besides, white wine is brewed from grains, and our wine is brewed from fruits. The cost is different, okay, how can you generalize the two?"
"That's the point. Why can your elves brew wine with fruits?"
"Of course it's because fruits are grown by our elves, so of course we can use them to make wine."
In the Rollo God's Domain, he arranged the elves to grow staple vegetables and fruits. The area of grain and vegetable planting is large, and the harvest is also large. And it is also durable in storage, which is the food reserve that Rollo attaches more importance to, while most fruits are not easy to store and are easy to rot over time. Moreover, fruits basically grow on trees or in forests. Everyone subconsciously defines places with trees as the territory of the elves.
So these fruits also belong to the elves. They are responsible for planting and selling. All fruit stores in the city are opened by the elves. They sell fruits from the forest to various places in the God's Domain, but this creates a problem. This is a bit like the monopoly in the Blue Star era.
Grain and vegetables are of concern to Luo Luo, and the quantity is large, so the price is very cheap and everyone can afford it, but fruits are different. The harvest season of fruits is short, and the number of plantings is small. All are under the jurisdiction of the elves, that is, the price of fruits. All are decided by the elves. Ordinary fruit stores sell them in small quantities, and they dare not raise the price too high.
By chance, some elves felt sorry for the fruits that had been stored for a long time and did not look good. No one bought them, so they brewed them into fruit wine to sell. At that time, there was no such thing as wine in Luo Luo's God's Domain, so once it was launched, it was welcomed by all parties, and the price rose sharply, which made them find a way to make money. So after internal discussions, the elves intercepted a large amount of fruit for winemaking, and retail was only to maintain the minimum amount of fruit sold outside. This resulted in you can buy fruit to eat, but you absolutely cannot buy a large amount to make wine. The elves controlled all the raw materials for making fruit wine. This is a word often mentioned in the Blue Star era – monopoly. And what is associated with monopoly is high returns.
The emergence of white wine obviously broke this monopoly. White wine is brewed from grain, and there is a lot of grain in the God's Domain. Most grain stores are operated by various races. Although they are all purchased and transported from the elves, because of Rollo's attention, the grain is sufficient and cheap.
The elves once wanted to cut off the supply of grain to those humans who brewed white wine, but because Rollo set the grain price at the beginning, and it could only fall, not rise. After thinking for a long time, the elves gave up this idea. This caused the number of white wines on the market to become more and more rampant, which had a great impact on the fruit wine of the elves.
Take the Moonlight Tavern for example. The owner of the Moonlight Tavern has just opened branches in four cities. Less than three months later, the launch of liquor caused at least half of the Moonlight Tavern's customer flow to be lost. The incident between Ash and Lakto was not an isolated case. During this month, the elves had the greatest conflict with other tribes, especially the dwarves and humans.
At this time, Lakto continued: "Before, you controlled the raw material market for fruit wine and did not allow other tribes to brew fruit wine. That's fine, but you sell fruit wine so expensively. How much does it cost?" Although Lakto is just a dwarf. But as a master of metallurgy. His knowledge reserve is very huge. In order to be able to practice more powerful alloys, he often stays in the Chengdu Library for a whole day, during which time he also learned other knowledge. It can be said that he is a well-known wise man among the dwarves, with clear thinking and a wide range of knowledge.
"Those fruits are cultivated by our elves with great effort. Can't we have the right to use these fruits?" Ash still didn't realize that this was a trap set for him by Lakto.
"Of course you can use it. But you harm the interests of everyone else and enrich yourself, which is wrong. This is naked monopoly." Rollo watched their debate with great interest. Lactor even mentioned monopoly. It seems that he reads a lot of books.
Ash was far behind. He didn't know what monopoly meant, but he knew that Laktor definitely didn't say anything nice, so he retorted: "This is the contribution of our elves. Why do you deny it?"
"The contribution of your elves? That's funny. Which race in the God's Domain doesn't contribute? Our dwarves smelt metals, goblins make parts, humans raise livestock, and mechanical people maintain law and order. Even the newly arrived half-orcs contribute to the God's Domain. You bring up contribution. Isn't that funny? Everyone contributes. Why do you elves have a monopoly? If that's okay, then our dwarves will also raise the price of metal."
"But we have to eat. Don't sell it at a higher price. We eat and drink what we want." Ash was a little speechless. He was just a small manager and couldn't even talk to Laktor.
"Eat, who doesn't eat? All creatures have to eat. Besides, the food in the God's Domain is so cheap. I have never heard of anyone starving. So, according to what you said, since you elves have to eat, so the wine is so expensive, then we dwarves have to drink, so the price of our metal tools must also increase."
Good! Rollo really didn't expect that the dwarf Lakto could have such a sharp thinking ability. And what he said was impeccable. At the same time, through this incident, Rollo also learned that this is not only a simple racial integration issue, but also involves social economic operation and labor distribution and other related issues.
For example, take the elves as an example. They provide food to all races in the God's Domain. This makes them feel that they have made the greatest contribution, but they don't feel respected, so they feel very aggrieved, which is just a psychological change; and they achieve their goals by monopolizing fruits and gain more economic benefits, which is an economic problem.
Thinking about these two issues, it is still a political issue in the final analysis. The reason is actually that Rollo also understands that the subjects of other gods are divided into primary and secondary, and they are all controlled by the church. The church believes in the gods themselves. This makes the social structure simple and easy to manage.
If this method is directly applied to Rollo's domain, it may not be appropriate. There is still an essential difference between the two. Since Rollo hopes that his domain will develop into a technological society.
Then he needs to change the system.
Before, his domain was small, with few subjects, and there were robots to govern it, so he was assured that there would be no problems. At that time, all races lived in peace and promoted each other, but the relationship faded over time, and as the domain expanded, the number of subjects increased, and the troubles increased, and problems followed one after another.
Rollo wanted to end the previous free-range state and re-establish a new management system, of course, this is a later story.
Now let's solve the problem of the fight between the elves and the dwarves.
Rollo pondered for a while and issued an oracle to them.
"The dwarf Lakto was fined for three months as the cause of the whole incident. Do you accept it?"
"I accept it! But him!" Lakto did not dare to oppose Rollo's words, but he still felt that it was unfair not to punish Ash.
Of course, Luo Luo knew his mood: "Listen to what I have to say. I will ask you about your handling method first. Do you accept it?"
"I accept it."
Luo Luo saw that he was still a little unwilling, but it didn't matter. He hadn't finished speaking yet. He turned to look at the complacent Ash and said: "The elves are indeed suspected of monopolistic behavior, so I order you to relax the purchase limit on fruits and allow others to reasonably brew fruit wine. I will arrange robots to strictly limit the price of your elves selling fruit wine. Do you accept my handling method?"
Ash was dumbfounded. Although it seemed that Lakto was the mastermind and punished him first, the punishment of the elves was even more severe, which would directly lead to the disappearance of the elves' monopoly on fruit wine.
"Ah, my god. What is the monopoly? It can't be that he says it is!"
Luo Luo looked at him deeply and said: "Since the elves have no objection, then execute it accordingly."
Then Luo Luo disappeared.
The mechanical tribe received Luo Luo's oracle and began to perform the supervision task as previously stated.
Ash was completely stunned. What happened? Why did I agree to it?
At this time, Lactor made a comeback and said to Ash complacently, "I said you are really illiterate. Go to the library to read more books and learn more about what monopoly is."
When the people around saw that Rollo had made a ruling and the matter was settled, they all dispersed, leaving Ash alone in the wind.
