After leaving Agnes' room alone, Duke exhaled softly.

Simon, who had been reunited for a long time, should have something else to say to Agnes, and he basically didn't say much after that, and Agnes was talking some nonsense alone.

This crazy woman actually hit the idea of her own magic rifle production line, if it weren't for Duke's sober mind, he wouldn't have handed this thing in order to get the protection of His Highness the Holy Maiden.

And this unfortunate saint is full of empty gloves white wolf, and does not give anything substantive except for some verbal promises from you next to him.

It just so happened that Simon had something to say to Agnes alone, so Duke took his own leave with great interest.

Before leaving, Agnes kept him for a long time, but he knew clearly what the idea of this woman was and what virtue he was, and Duke left without any nostalgia.

"Lord, just now we took in another group of homeless people, this time there are about seven or eight people. ”

Seeing his lord come out of the castle, the guards who had been waiting for him reported the latest rest.

"Hmm, the outcasts, where are they from?"

After the last time they said that the homeless they picked up was from the north, and it was Simon Sr., Duke was very sensitive and wary of what his soldiers said about taking in the homeless.

It's best not to pick up something from the north and come back from something you don't know......

Duke prayed silently in his heart.

This time it was a little more normal, and the guard paused for a moment before saying, "This time it's from the mountains in the south, and it's a family that has moved over." ”

"Oh?" Duke's heart was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the first real homeless person would be taken in a complete family, "Let's go over and take a look." ”

The guards answered, then led Duke's horse to help his lord on his horse, and then led Duke to the outskirts of the settlement again.

It didn't take long for Duke to arrive at the homeless settlement, which was a little more lively than when he first saw Simon.

As the person in charge of the resettlement plan, after hearing the news that some displaced people had been taken in, Vlavic also ran over in his own carriage as soon as possible.

Now he was talking to a tall, middle-aged man with a slumped back, and the registration staff on the other side was holding a cardboard to record some information about several hungry children and women.

This is an improvement that Duke asked Vlavic to make.

There is such a thing as identification in every era, but the common way of recording here is relatively rudimentary, and it is very troublesome to sort out after registration.

Every time Duke wanted to confirm something to Vlavic, he would spend more than half a day looking up the household registration information, which was outrageously inefficient.

So Duke got out the forms he had seen in some units and other businesses in later generations, and asked Vlavich to find a printing engraving worker to carve a template according to his own form, and then brushed and brushed tens of thousands of forms to cope with today's phenomenon.

Judging from the reactions of these low-level clerical officials, Duke's reform did save them a lot of effort, and his evaluation among his subordinates rose a lot.

Moreover, Vlavic also intends to extend this form to the entire territory after the completion of this resettlement of displaced people, which is also very convenient for managing the territory and handling affairs.

"What are you talking about?"

Seeing that the registration was proceeding in an orderly manner, Duke decided not to disturb them for now, and finally walked directly to Vlavic's side.

Because after observing for a while, Duke found that Vlavic had been frowning all the time, and it was estimated that something difficult was bothering him, so he decided to be the first to ask.

It's just that when he walked over, the middle-aged man who was already talking to Vlavich very restrainedly saw a young man in more luxurious clothes coming over, and he actually hid directly behind Vlavic, not daring to look at Duke.

"Lord, it's about these outcasts. Vlavic looked helplessly at the middle-aged homeless man hiding behind him, "He brought some news about the camp in the mountains, but what he is talking about now makes it difficult for me to judge the authenticity." ”

"What kind of news?"

Since Duke had Joseph separate his men as a propaganda team a few days ago, Duke has not received any useful news for the time being.

The most valuable news of the day was the discovery of one or two small camps of outcasts inhabited by dozens of people, and the strangeness of these outcasts was so obviously suspicious of the strange meaning of the noble lords that almost no one showed any interest in it.

This made Duke feel a little frustrated, and he had the impression that the invincible propaganda method could only achieve such results in practical application.

Now as soon as I hear the news brought by the homeless, and to be treated so solemnly by Vlavic, it is estimated that the matter should not be too small, at least it will be more valuable than what I saw before.

He said that recently there were big nobles who organized hunting teams to play in the mountains. ”

"Hunting team, what are you doing, hunting?"

"That's usually true, but a lot of times the prey isn't just limited to animals. ”

"What is ......?"

Duke opened his mouth and swallowed the words he was about to ask.

Suddenly, his head turned around to understand the meaning of Vlavic's words, and he learned a terrible fact.

"How come!" Duke, who has received a modern education, is not mentally prepared to accept this kind of thing at all, "How could such a ridiculous thing happen, fake, right?"

The impact of this kind of thing is too great for him, so he subconsciously has to question the truth of this kind of thing.

As a result, the middle-aged man over there, who was still submissive, heard that the old man in front of him, who seemed to be the person who was talking, suddenly questioned the authenticity of his news, and immediately rushed out and hugged Duke's thigh, refusing to let go, and before the words began to be spoken, a terrible cry flowed out of his mouth.

"Eh, you ......"

"Lord, please save us, those people with bows and arrows will kill people when they see them, please save us! Save us......"

Duke didn't expect that this man who looked thin and tall and had no strength was so strong, and he couldn't break free for a while, and the guards around him immediately came to help after discovering the situation, and they were about to forcibly pull this person away.

But their movements were immediately stopped by Duke, because in the process of pulling, he found that the middle-aged man actually had two scabbed round wounds on his back, which seemed to be very consistent with the arrow wounds he knew.

So he was silent for a while, then put his hand on the man's shoulder and said:

"You calm down first, let's talk in another place. ”
