Seeing that the other party had misunderstood, Lynn shook his head.
"Of course this is not a slave trade. I just want to provide these poor people in dire straits with an opportunity to escape their suffering."
Lynn really needs people now.
The fine gold vein deep in the Blue Mountains requires miners to mine it.
On Novigrad's side, as Dudu's business gets better and better, it also needs to recruit more employees.
Including that if you get a piece of land in the War to Reclaim the Throne launched by Istredd in the future, you will naturally need to claim people.
In fact, most of the non-human races who are willing to integrate into human society just want to live a good life. As long as they can survive and their safety can be guaranteed, they will not join Scoia'tael.
These non-human races have far fewer political claims than humans and are easier to manage.
Oberstein I don't know what to think of.
He said thoughtfully.
"If you want others to leave their homes, just an attractive job is not enough, especially the non-human races living in Kaedwen. They have been fed up with being deceived, excluded, and blamed. They have long since stopped believing that good things will happen to them."
Lynn thought about it for a while and found that this is really the case.
The Trade Prince continued, "Actually, I have a better idea, I just don't know if you can accept it."
Lynn made a gesture asking the other party to continue talking.
Oberstein's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"It's actually very simple. Since they don't believe that good things will happen, then let bad things happen."
"You must know the history of our country to some extent. Our country is a paradise for mercenaries. When Kovir and Poviss faced the fierce attack of the coalition forces of the two kingdoms Redania and Kaedwen, they still achieved a miraculous victory, relying on the mercenary group."
"Our country has signed long-term employment contracts with several of the best mercenary groups all year round, and Rustwater Cartel, as a multinational company, of course also has an exclusive mercenary group."
Lynn frowned slightly.
After hearing this, he could probably guess what the other party's plan was.
Oberstein smiled and continued, "My plan is to have Rustwater Cartel's exclusive mercenary group disguise themselves as bandits to attack the settlements of those inhuman races."
"When the homes of those inhuman races are razed to the ground and they have no recourse, they will sign the contract with blood and tears in their eyes, even if it is a contract provided by the devil."
"As for the Kaedwen army, there is no need to worry. As long as the attacks are not on the villages and towns of the Kaedwen people, the army will not be attracted."
I have to say that Lynn was very moved by Oberstein's suggestions.
It also has certain feasibility.
But Lynn finally gave up this proposal after careful consideration.
Because he couldn't convince himself that in order to save those non-human races in dire straits, he had to first destroy the homes that those non-human races relied on for survival.
What is the difference between this approach and the original Song Jiang "earning" Qin Ming going up the mountain?
Moreover, this proposal looks good, but in practice it has big problems.
Even if we put aside the possibility of the mercenary group hired by Rustwater Cartel leaking the secret and letting them pretend to be bandits and set fire to the village, what if an accident happens as expected?
There are too many variables, and once an accident occurs, the unpredictable consequences will be too serious.
Therefore, after thinking again and again, Lynn asked the Trade Prince to change back to the first version of the plan.
Those non-human races in Kaedwen are willing to follow naturally. If they are really unwilling, they can only say that they respect their own choices.
Oberstein has no opinion either.
After all, Lynn is the employer, and the employer has the final say.
Compared with this, Oberstein thought of another question, "So, Master Lynn, do you want us to bring people directly to Novigrad? Or do you designate a meeting point?"
Lynn asked, "Do you have a base in Kaedwen?"
"Yes, but it is not recommended. Even if only a small amount of non-human races appear outside the settlements, they may cause trouble if they are seen by Kaedwen people." The trade prince may be worried that he will be misunderstood by Lynn, so he added.
"Of course I don't mean to discriminate against non-human races, it's just Kaedwen's racism... You also know that, so I don't need to say more, right?"
Oberstein thought for a while and then said, "But if you plan to set the delivery location near Kaedwen, then I wonder if it is at Isparaden adjacent to Kaedwen, would you accept it?"
Isparaden is in the north of Kaedwen, an enclave belonging to Kovir and Poviss.
After the "Poviss Secession" incident, although Isparaden still nominally accepted the leadership of Kovir and Poviss, it had actually gained de facto independence.
However, as long as politics are not discussed, Kovir and the Kovir caravan can still travel unimpeded in Isparaden.
"We have established a stronghold in the south of Isparaden, at a castle called Roruka Castle."
"We can place the rescued non-human races in Roruka Castle. You can send people to Roruka Castle to pick them up, or we can send people over to you every once in a while."
Lynn thinks there is no problem.
"Well, let's do it this way."
There is a whole Kingdom of Redania between Novigrad and Kingdom of Kaedwen.
If you just look at it from a map, you may not think it is so far away.
But this was, after all, a backward era with inconvenient transportation. In this era, there were not even green trains, and travel relied entirely on horse-drawn carriages and walking. Even leaving aside the possibility of bandits in the wild, it was still very difficult to cross two countries on foot.
It is naturally impossible for Lynn to think that every time Rustwater Cartel saves dozens or hundreds of non-human races, he will send them to Novigrad.
Because the financial and human resources consumed by doing so are extremely terrible.
That's why he asked if there was a base at Kaedwen.
Since there is a base in the south of Isparaden not far from Kaedwen, then there is no problem.
When the time comes, they gather enough people and send them all to Novigrad.
Then, Lynn and Oberstein discussed the details before leaving Rustwater Cartel's headquarters building.
And just when he walked out of the headquarters building and onto the street outside, he suddenly felt a vibration coming from the sound transmission box in the magic pattern leather bag.
Lynn turned into an alley and came to the depths of the alley.
Looking around, seeing no one in the alley, Lynn took out the sound transmission box from the magic pattern leather bag.
"Triss?"
A red-haired beauty's voice came from the sound transmission box, "It's me. Is it convenient for you to speak now?"
