In the evening, Hughes came to the castle to report to Rocco about today's refugee resettlement issues.
"How's it going? Butler Hughes, have these refugees been resettled?"
"Young master, don't worry. The young ones have arranged for them to go to the workshop, and the women can also cook for the mercenary groups. As for the old people, according to the laws of the lord, basic protection has been given. I believe no one
There will be opinions.”
Rocco nodded.
These were all customized not long ago.
Young people, if there is no land at home, everyone needs to work every day to support the family, and the wages are different. Generally, it is about 7 or 8 copper coins. For those with some skills, more than 10 copper coins are enough to support the family. Still
I can save one or two.
In addition, women can also work. There is no need to worry about danger. In this regard, Roco has formulated strict laws.
Women can also cook for those mercenary groups, or work in factories.
Of course, there are also some ruffians who like to cause trouble. Rocco will usually get rid of such people directly. We don't want to keep trash in our territory.
If you cause trouble, you will be detained in a patrol room and punished according to the laws of the territory.
Of course, there are also some elderly people who are alone.
This number is very small. Usually there are children and the like.
If this happens, Rocco will also provide basic protection.
As for why you do this? This is not the Virgin of Rocco. Isn’t it helpful to help Rocco improve his prestige in the territory? Anyway, Rocco can’t be poor. Why not do this kind of free thing?
"Well, I'm relieved that Butler Hughes is doing the work. Winter is coming soon. Those potatoes will be harvested before winter. You should keep an eye on them then. These are the seeds for next year. From now on, our territory will not
If there is a shortage of food, we can still sell the excess food."
"Yes, Master. If nothing happens, I will go down." Hughes said.
"Um"
A few days later, the second wave of refugees arrived.
Rocco settled these refugees according to the previous method.
Those with skills will go to work after registering. Those without skills will wait for distribution, or help the territory to plow wasteland, all of which will be used to grow food next year. In the past, the population was not large, so a lot of land was abandoned.
There are so many refugees now, so it is natural to take advantage of them.
Now there are tents everywhere outside the town.
Of course, Rocco also asked Klee to send people to manage it, and there would be soldiers patrolling at all times.
Rocco has long emphasized that you cannot cause trouble or litter.
There were a lot of refugees, and there were everyone there. The soldiers patrolling at night caught a few gangsters trying to get into the women's tents.
The next day, patrolling soldiers executed the refugees on the spot outside the town in front of them.
This harsh method shocked many people.
The mercenaries laughed and said, "These people really think our Lord is kind-hearted. Haha."
"Well, that's not true. The lord is kind to those who follow the rules. But those who don't follow the rules, hehe."
These mercenaries have not forgotten those mercenary groups back then. Seeing that the lord was a little disobedient to the rules when he was young, what happened? They were all killed by the lord. Now think about it, these people who saw this happened at that time
Still feeling a little weak.
Now the number of residents in Roko territory has reached about 20,000. The new residents began to build houses outside the town. In this way, the town was expanded again.
It may be that winter is approaching, and the number of horse thieves is gradually increasing. The territories of those small nobles will suffer.
Without a strong military force, it was completely impossible to defend against the robberies of these horse thieves. Several nobles were killed, and not much food was captured.
As for Rocco's territory, it has now received thousands of refugees.
Rocco was a little happy.
Recently, a large number of mercenaries stationed at the border have been enchanted by Klee and have practiced physical and secret techniques. Rocco's own army has reached more than 4,000 people.
Don't underestimate these people. These people are at least warriors who have practiced physical skills. All of them have been planted with spells.
Fortunately, Rocco exchanged a spell compass last time, which can automatically absorb natural energy and convert it into chakra. Otherwise, Rocco would have been tired and collapsed if he had to cast it by himself.
With a strong military force, what is missing? Isn’t it the residents?
What can 20,000 residents of a territory do? There are so many workshops and fields. These all need people,
Not to mention that next year we will vigorously plant potatoes and promote business. Therefore, when these refugees come to Roko territory, they will all be accepted as long as there are no problems.
Most of the wasteland is slowly being renovated by these refugees, just waiting for the seeds to be planted next year.
Following Rocco's policies, many workshops were built around the town. Such as snack processing factories, weapon processing, carpentry processing, food processing, meat processing, cloth processing, etc., everything Roko thought of was being built.
