"Lord, these refugees want to join our territory. Many of them have some skills. In addition, the Lord has recently built a large number of workshops that require more people, so they all plan to live here."
The secretary on one side stepped forward to report.
Rocco looked outside the town and saw that there were quite a few refugees. There seemed to be more than two thousand people, and they were all relatively green people.
Of course, they all have families. There are also some elderly people and children among them.
In the surrounding area, only Rocco's territory has developed better and stronger in recent years. Lord Rocco is still a viscount. No matter from every aspect, he is the best choice for these refugees.
The mercenaries in the town also learned the news and came to the gate of the town to watch the excitement. It was not common to see so many refugees.
These refugees came here after hearing about the changes in Roko.
There were also quite a few people who headed towards the hinterland of the kingdom, probably hoping that the kingdom could help them.
The faces of these refugees had pale faces, and they had obviously been hungry for days. They were also malnourished to begin with.
"Lord, please take us in. We can work for you. Just let us stutter."
"Lord, please accept us. We have no way to survive!!!"
The refugees begged one after another.
It makes people feel more sympathetic when they hear it. Everyone lives on this land, and of course they know what will happen to these people if the lord does not take them in.
Before Rocco could speak, a clear voice suddenly appeared from the mercenaries on one side: "Lord, you should take them in. Your territory is so rich, this is a very simple matter for you."
Rocco paused and turned around. He happened to see a delicate girl having her mouth covered by a mercenary.
Seeing Rocco looking over, the man broke out in cold sweat and said: "Lord, I'm sorry. My sister is not sensible. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
When the girl heard what her brother said, she immediately broke away the hand covering her mouth and said angrily: "What I said is the truth. The lord's territory is in turmoil and there is so much food. Shouldn't we save him?"
These refugees? Do the lords want to watch these refugees starve to death?"
After the girl finished speaking, she stared at Rocco with her big eyes. The mercenaries around her consciously stayed away from the two brothers and sisters.
"The quality of our mercenaries is so poor now? How come there are still fools who become mercenaries?" The mercenaries asked their friends around them while staying away from the brothers and sisters.
"I didn't know that there are such fools now. I think it won't be long before this mercenary group will trick this woman to death."
Hearing the mercenaries talking around him, Rocco smiled slightly. The girl's brother didn't know how to speak now. He kept holding the girl, his hands trembling a little.
Roko said: "Then, let me ask you, beautiful lady, can your mercenary group take out their food? Can you use your gold coins to help them build their homes?"
"Why? You are the lord!" The girl quit and spoke dissatisfied.
Hearing this girl's words, Rocco smiled coldly, aren't these just those keyboard warriors? They like to educate others from the top of their morals, but don't do anything good for themselves?
"So, you know that I am a lord, so you want me to listen to you? Are you saying that you are an earl? a duke? a king?" After saying this, the girl finally came to her senses. She is a mercenary without a title.
To put it bluntly, he is just a commoner. Just now he actually let a viscount do things according to his own ideas.
"Lord, please go. My sister is ignorant. Please, let her go." The man almost knelt down before Rocco. He kept begging Rocco for forgiveness.
The girl also looked pale and didn't know what to say.
Rocco sneered and said: "Hughes, arrange for the clerk to register these refugees, their names, ages, and where they come from. What are their specialties? Arrange for Klee to go to the mercenary group where this young lady belongs and ask them to give up most of the food.
, gold coins. Used to resettle these refugees. Isn’t this lady kind-hearted? As a lord, I must give them a chance!"
"Yes, sir."
Klee took a few soldiers and left with the two brothers and sisters.
As for the refugees, they were extremely grateful and followed the clerk to register.
Roko looked at his maid and the butler beside him and sneered: "It seems that this generation of mercenaries is not good. There are also such stupid young people. She really thinks that she is so pretty that the whole world will surround her."
Sended?"
"Master, don't be angry. I, Hughes, have seen this kind of people a lot. It won't be long before they die in dangerous mercenary missions, and they will also trick their relatives around them." Butler Hughes said nonchalantly. This kind of shamelessness
There are always a few stupid young people who have been severely beaten by society every year.
The mercenaries on the side heard this and cheered: "Lord, don't worry, our mercenaries can pass the test. As long as a rookie like this doesn't die, he will mature soon. Haha."
Rocco smiled slightly at the mercenaries and said, "That's really lucky for you."
Through this incident, Rocco also swore his authority to the people in the town. In the territory, no one can make the decision for him.
"Hughes. Most of these refugees are young people. As long as they are qualified, the whole family can join the territory. Anyway, the territory has a lot of land and a lot of jobs. They can definitely support the family. If they behave well, they will be given an acre of land.
.Let them save some food. Hey!!"
"Yes, Master, you are really a kind lord." Hughes smiled happily.
"That's right, we have never seen anyone as kind as Sir Rocco. No wonder your territory is managed so well." The mercenaries on the side also said.
They have seen too many noble lords, but few care about the life and death of these refugees. The best thing is to take them in and squeeze their labor force.
"Go, go, go. What do you have to do? Winter will come in two months. Why don't you go to the mountains to store more meat and exchange some food for drinking every day so that you can survive the winter?" Luo Ke educated him unceremoniously.
got these mercenaries.
In fact, these mercenaries really like Rocco talking to them like this. This shows that the lord is relatively kind and can sometimes make some jokes.
"Hey, sir, we're going right now, we're going right now." The mercenaries were scolded by Rocco and dispersed immediately.
Rocco was right, winter will begin in two months. At this time every year, mercenaries without missions will go into the mountains to stock up on meat, or return some food to the residents to prepare for the winter. After all, there is nothing you can do in winter.
