After drinking the saltwater and resting for a while, it seemed that the beastmen had mostly recovered, and the limping kobold stood up.

"Alright, Nina, thanks for the saltwater. Hurry back, don't keep your teacher waiting too long."

The cold winter was approaching, and the beastmen's task of brick-making was still heavy, so they could only rest occasionally; there was still a large amount of work to be done.

Originally, after annexing the 780 people from the Blood Claw Tribe, the population of the Dragon Nest Tribe had again increased. It seemed that there shouldn't be a lack of manpower, but in reality, the needs for food, clothing, and shelter for the new population had to be addressed. Moreover, with the cold winter approaching, the entire Dragon Nest Tribe needed to make more preparations for the winter's food supply. Even though the beastmen captives hadn't completed their full military transformation training, they were all brought out to be assigned to various teams, which highlighted the labor shortage.

"Goodbye, Uncle Nage, goodbye everyone."

Upon hearing this, Nina bid farewell to the limping kobold and the group of beastmen, and led a group of beastman children with empty wooden buckets back into the Dragon Nest Tribe.

Watching Nina and the group of beastman children leave, the limping kobold then turned around.

"Alright, alright, everybody get up, let's get to work!"

"Oh, Captain, can't we rest a bit more? This work is really exhausting."

"Get lost, you lazy bunch! Whether you want to work or not, if you slack off any more today, you won't get any work points!"

The beastmen, originally covered in mud, also started to move, albeit slowly. But as soon as they heard the word "work points" from the limping kobold, all of the beastmen immediately stood up with a buzz and began working swiftly.

"Hmph, a bunch of lazy bones, if I don't give you a hard time, you really think you're somebody!"

The limping kobold cursed as he directed the group of beastmen to start working.

The concept of work points was naturally devised by Austin, as a reform undertaken to better fit the current military and political system of the Dragon Nest Tribe.

Initially, under Austin's command, there were only seven and a half kobolds, and hence the distribution method was like that of a lord and his peasants. The peasants worked within the domain, and more than half of everything they produced was to be turned over, with the remainder kept as their own.

At that time, the number of Austin's clan members was small, and the kobolds joined in a single tribe manner, so Austin did not introduce any other system reforms but continued the tradition of the Seta Continent.

However, as the Dragon Nest Tribe developed, the population of the entire tribe grew, and every beastman underwent military training, with daily tasks assigned accordingly. Beastman groups collaborated on various tasks. Under such a united command and labor cooperation system of all-out effort, if the beastman tribe continued the previous lord-peasant siphoning method, it would inevitably clash with the military arrangement of the Dragon Nest Tribe.

After all, just like the goblins in the manufacturing workshop, who handled a large amount of wood daily inside the Dragon Nest Tribe to turn it into various weapons, although weapon production was crucial for the tribe, there was no source of food for them.

If the relationship between Austin and the clan members of the Dragon Nest Tribe still adopted the tax levy arrangement of a lord and dependent peasants, then the goblins in the manufacturing workshop would not get any food, which was clearly impossible.

Therefore, with the expansion of the Dragon Nest Tribe, Austin gradually reformed the distribution method of the entire tribe.

From the initial tax levy to a large-scale communal system when the population increased, to step-by-step evolution into the current work points system.

This was also normal. Considering the military-civil unity and task directive tribal system of the Dragon Nest Tribe, it was fundamentally impossible to use the lord-peasant distribution method.

And now, almost all the adult beastmen in the entire Dragon Nest Tribe had undergone military training, were integrated military and civil, similar to those fiery times of the fifties and sixties in Austin's previous life, thus Austin gradually started steering towards those times, launching communal meals, and with the richness of various foods in the Dragon Nest Tribe, extending to the work points system.

By working hard, one could earn work points distributed by the beastman captain, and more work points meant better food.

Before joining Austin's Dragon Nest Tribe, many beastmen struggled to have consistent meals, often going hungry or having inconsistent meals. Now, as long as they worked hard, although it was a bit tiring, every meal was ensured to be filling. How could those beastmen who had just escaped those previous harsh living conditions not work hard?

Of course, at the start of the work points system in the Dragon Nest Tribe, Austin also knew that these systems were basically good in the early stages, but various issues would gradually arise as time went on, though those would be dealt with bit by bit later.

For that Blue Dragon overlooking the entire Dragon Nest Tribe of over two thousand people from above, the limping beastman naturally didn't understand its thoughts.

He stood on high ground, directing a team of beastmen to work back and forth, then glanced toward the majestic tribal settlement slowly rising from the forest, feeling a great sense of contentment welling up in his heart.

The beastmen under his command were only a small part of the tribe. The entire Dragon Nest Tribe, with more than two thousand people, worked orderly under this system, continually contributing to the tribe's rise.

What wisdom it was, never before had such a beastman tribe appeared within the Kawa Great Forest. And the Austin who made all of this happen had long occupied a god-like status in the heart of every beastman.

"Who would have thought that this day would come?"

The limping kobold was among the initial seven and a half kobolds recruited by Austin.

He still remembered being expelled from the main tribe, enduring countless hardships along the journey, losing companions one after another, and feeling directionless. Eventually, his foot was injured during a hunt, an injury that spelled death in a life of wandering. As he was about to fall into utter despair, unexpectedly, a turn for the better came, and the honorable, kind, and wise His Highness Austin took them in, incorporating them into the clan.

At that time, the entire tribe only had a total population of seven and a half kobolds, suffering from hunger and thirst, and they were at risk of not surviving the cold winter.

And then, who could have imagined that today would come, that the entire tribe would expand to a great tribe of two thousand people in a short period, that they would build one warm house after another, cultivate one plot of land after another, train soldiers who swept through tribe after tribe, and have grain in the warehouse piled like mountains, without worries of hunger, cold, or enemies.

Reflecting on the panic and helplessness of those times, standing proudly in the Kawa Great Forest today, the limping beastman can't help feeling a deep sense of emotion.
