?Chapter 105: Chapter 1 Immigrants_4 Chapter 105: Chapter 1 Immigrants_4 “Father, you can’t say it like that. While the Busen Plain is indeed fertile and rich, from Ugru to Mattdam in our Caucasus is just as flat. It’s just that no one has ever gone to reclaim it. All we need to do is to clear and cultivate the shrublands, it won’t take more than two years for our food production in the Caucasus to become self-sufficient. Besides, we have iron and coal mines to the south of our Caucasus, something the Busen Plain does not have. If we can truly exploit those, our situation could greatly improve!” Neptune said, utterly dissatisfied with his father’s despondency, rudely interrupting him with a frown.
“Mr. Hesse, please forgive my bluntness. Your words may have some merit, but I think if we all adopt your attitude, our homeland of the Caucasus will never change. Do you really want it to stay this way?” Puber had, over time, succeeded in developing a good personal relationship with Neptune. Both of them were young and passionate, but whereas Neptune was an idealist, Puber was more deeply contemplative after experiencing numerous setbacks.
Shaking his head with a feeling of helplessness, Hesse had come to accept the idea that the ambitious new lord was poised to make a significant impact on the Caucasus, but he did not believe this to be a simple matter. The geographical conditions of the Caucasus were different from other regions, with Barbarians to the south, Pirates to the east, and the Great Swamp Area firmly held by the Jellyfish People to the west. The only way out seemed to be to the north. In such circumstances, it amazed Hesse how these two young men thought of the situation so simply. Was it that he had truly been worn down by the years, or were the young men simply too impetuous? Hesse couldn’t be sure.
Although it was late autumn in the Caucasus, it felt cool rather than cold, sometimes even carrying a hint of late summer. The vast forests entered the harvest season at this time of year, with animals well-fattened and robust, creating the perfect hunting period for hunters, and with the air clear and refreshing, it was the best time for felling trees in preparation for winter fuel.
Since the lord’s departure, the people of the Caucasus, from Ugru to Mattdam, from Darman Pass to Bahomon in the southwest corner, could feel that the region was changing every day, especially around Ugru Town. The townsfolk noticed that a steady stream of outsiders began to reclaim wasteland and build houses along the roads in the outskirts, after obtaining legitimate citizen rights from the acting Administrative Officers, the Hesse father and son, appointed temporarily by the lord upon his departure. Most of these new settlers were Half-Beastmen who lived in the Mountainous Area nearby.
While the townspeople were somewhat skeptical about the sudden influx of so many Half-Beastmen onto the land, they thought of the significant number of Half-Beastmen among the Indigenous People and reminded themselves that the Caucasus had always been a multicultural settlement. Once the representatives of the people verified the legitimacy of their identification documents, no one cared much about the issue anymore, especially since it paled in comparison to the news from Versailles. The lord was going to bring 150,000 Immigrants to the Caucasus, a piece of news that had spread throughout the entire region. What these 150,000 immigrants would bring to the Caucasus, nobody knew. Everyone was anxiously awaiting the day, uncertain of how it would change their lives in the future.
