Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 465 - 018 Reforming the System

In the early stages of the Dragon Nest Tribe’s development, Austin implemented a military system that integrated the military and civilian populations to maximize the unification of the Dragon Nest Tribe’s power.

The entire orc population of the Dragon Nest Tribe served as both farmers, producing food for the tribe, and soldiers, fighting against external dangers.

They had no property, no freedom, and under Austin’s unification, they were militarily managed.

They worked together, trained together, and distributed food together.

The yields they obtained from the fields were not related to them; all were uniformly recorded into the tribe’s warehouse and only distributed when needed.

Such a system, viewed from the perspective of modern society, surviving is simply incredible.

Yet, it was precisely these methods that tightly unified every orc in the Dragon Nest Tribe, allowing for continuous expansion.

This was, in essence, a form of extreme exploitation,

especially for the orcs who joined early on.

Because the new orcs joining the Dragon Nest Tribe need to undergo a period of reformation training before they can join in the tribe’s production and life.

Normally, it takes at least half a year for a wild orc to join the Dragon Nest Tribe and then be able to produce food.

And where does the food for these six months come from?

It comes from the Dragon Nest Tribe’s warehouse, derived from the labor of the earlier joined Dragon Nest Beastmen.

This method essentially uses the labor harvests of those who came earlier to support the newcomers, achieving the Dragon Nest Tribe’s expansion.

And because of the rapid expansion of the Dragon Nest Tribe, many wild orcs have been absorbed into it over the years.

This cycle has basically continued to the present day.

In other words, the earlier the Dragon Nest Beastmen joined, the longer they have been exploited.

The entire expansion of the Dragon Nest Tribe has actually always been based on exploiting the labor gains of the Dragon Nest Tribe Beastmen to gain the power for expansion!

Just like the planned economy period in the previous world, it was essentially about implementing the scissors movement in economics.

To exploit agriculture to support the development of the country’s entire industrial system.

The orcs of the Dragon Nest Tribe are somewhat similar, also exploiting the orcs within the tribe, maximally extracting their own productive surplus value to finally complete the expansion of the Dragon Nest Tribe.

Of course, according to Marxist theory, Austin’s Dragon Nest Tribe is undoubtedly a capitalist cruelly exploiting the laboring people, but in the environment of the Kawa Great Forest, it is certainly better than the wild orcs outside struggling on the line of life and death.

At least they have enough to eat, are protected by Austin without worry for safety, and live securely.

Moreover, the early orcs also gradually had their status elevated to a managerial level due to the tribe’s expansion.

A year ago, a new recruit who had just completed military training might become a squad leader a year later for leading new recruits.

For them at the beginning, their efforts and rewards were actually somewhat proportional.

However, this strict military administrative system eventually had its drawbacks.

Especially after developing for over a decade, various accumulated malpractices began to gradually emerge, combined with the explosive population growth of the Dragon Nest Tribe, leading to a dilemma in unified production task allocation.

In the early stages, the Dragon Nest Tribe unified its orcs under its command.

Tasks were uniformly distributed, such as assigning one team to go fishing, another to hunt, and another to farm and cultivate...

In the stage where the numbers were small, such uniform arrangements maximally exerted the Dragon Nest Tribe’s power.

But later, with the tribe’s rapid expansion, the tight organization began to gradually loosen.

People are not machines and cannot be mere tools. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Orcs are the same.

The early strict military administrative system gradually changed to earning work points as rewards for completing tasks, and then purchasing favorite foods from the tribe’s canteen.

The various affairs of the tribe were also managed by tackling the major issues and overlooking the minor ones. The Dragon Nest Tribe’s system began to further separate from a strict military administrative system, dividing into two classes of militia producers and formal troops.

With the gradual loosening of the tribe’s system, economic activity was also enhanced to some degree.

However, during this stage, the controlling power over food remained in the hands of the Dragon Nest Tribe.

The primary production activities were still driven by the will of the Dragon Nest Tribe.

Population continued to grow, and the system began to become increasingly rigid.

Seeing this flaw, Austin also sought to change, but could only delay the pace of system rigidity.

Until Austin traversed two worlds, bringing back various management books from the Otherworld, and infused them into the brains of the high-ranking Dragon Nest Beastmen through the Dream-Entering Technique.

After the management layer orcs digested, absorbed, and discussed, they finally integrated a series of complex future plan schemes.

Facing an imminent population of a million, the tribe management decided to start opening up economic development to the public.

For instance, the cultivated lands that had been farmed for years were outsourced to Dragon Nest Beastmen, implementing a contract responsibility system. Only the newly reclaimed lands, requiring a large amount of human resources, were centrally arranged by the tribe management.

For example, animal husbandry began to decentralize, led by the Dragon Nest Tribe, placing breeding into the hands of the populace.

Again, by manufacturing gold coins and silver coins, establishing the Dragon Nest Tribe’s own currency circulation system to further enhance economic activity among the populace.

The food material market, although primarily controlled by the Dragon Nest Tribe, implementing a contract responsibility system for the orcs, also allowed them to have their own surplus, causing the previously suppressed market to flourish.

The management system’s work is multifaceted.

Fortunately, among a group of orc managers instructed by Austin’s knowledge, issues were resolved one by one without needing Austin to personally intervene.

The public economic system was activated, and the tribe seemed to be injected with a fresh spring of water, starting to enliven.

...

In the blink of an eye, a cold winter was also about to arrive.

The Dragon Nest Division is reforming its bloated and large system, while also continuing activities on the periphery.

Utilizing the control system of the vassal army, the Dragon Nest Tribe first controlled several small and medium-sized tribes on the periphery, then combined them to form and establish several strongholds on the periphery.

Regarding these suddenly appearing forces, nearby whether orc tribes or human villages and town forces were wary.

However, perhaps due to the deterrence caused by the shown strength, none of the nearby forces dared make reckless moves, and while on guard, began to prepare food for the cold winter.

Perhaps because the year’s harvest was quite good, none of the nearby forces intended to provoke the vassal army’s established strongholds.

Calmly waiting for the cold winter to arrive.

And the vassal army of the Dragon Nest Tribe also took this opportunity to establish a bridgehead in this peripheral region.
