Chapter 8: Collecting the Displaced People
After a night of carnival, the crowd finally fell into a charming dreamland, but when they thought of today's harvest, everyone had a happy smile on the corner of their mouths, and the soldiers would smile when they saw this scene when they were on patrol, and at the same time there was a trace of pride on their faces, as the main members of the standing army soldiers, they played a great role in today's hunting activities, and naturally received the praise of the people, after being a soldier for so long, this feeling of being praised and envied was the first time, and at the same time, in the bottom of their hearts, their worship of Lelouch was also increasing。
This is especially true when they see that everyone is in a dream, and Lord Lelouch is still fighting for the future of the people of Limburg.
Lelouch had two drawings in front of him at this time, one was a map and the other was an architectural drawing, the map was specially drawn by Liebert, and the architectural drawing was Lelouch himself, although the quality of the paintings in both drawings was not high, but it was already able to help Lelouch a lot.
The first thing Lelouch looked at was the map:
The map between Limburg is a circle, drawing about a hundred miles of terrain around Limburg, the north of Limburg is an endless northerly forest, the south is the great plain leading to the core of the Terran territory, the west and east are the curved guard mountains and the ancillary plains at the foot of the mountain, Lelouch has read the documents provided by Kennon, it can be said that the birthplace of mankind is simply a breathtaking treasure land.
After two world wars, human beings were beaten back to the birthplace of the "Tianci Plain" by the orcs, the reason why it is called Tianci is because the Tianci Plain is extremely abundant, not to mention that the fertile land can make the grain double crop a year, and the docile rivers that make up for it are all the threats of floods and droughts, and Lelouch does not know how the continents of this world drift, and the guardian mountains completely surround the Tianci Plain in the middle of the mountains, even the trees of the north wind dense forest can not climb the towering mountains.
Except for Fort Horn, which has the only external passage, the entire Tianci Plain does not have to worry about the enemy coming from all directions, which can be said to be an excellent place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, of course, in the eyes of Lu Luxiu, the farming party, this is the only place to farm.
But at the moment, what interests Lelouch the most is those human settlements scattered on the map, most of these settlements are distributed around Limburg, most of them are in the west and east, and there are also many black households in the north wind forest, the total population is currently estimated at about 40,000, these are all retail households who have been oppressed by orcs all year round and fled their homes, although they have to pay taxes outside the city, but at least they don't have to face orcs every day, after all, no one knows if the orc master will come for a while, and he has to play wrestling with you.
Lelouch is very satisfied with this map, this is the tax collection map provided by Kennon, and it has been verified by Liebert, it can be said that the accuracy is quite high, but when I think of the population of nearly 40,000 outside the city, but Limburg is only in the early thousands, which makes Lelouch have to sigh that the way the orcs operate, it is really... Well, it's unique.
"Very good, let's go out and spread the word according to this map, so that the population will concentrate on Limburg!"
"And what if someone doesn't want to?"
"If you don't want to leave him alone, we don't need such a population at the moment, and even if we come, we won't be able to eat. ”
After deciding on the future population policy, Lelouch turned his attention to another map, which was a building map drawn by Lelouch himself, or the future construction and development of the trapper's camp.
From the beginning, Lelouch did not intend to build the camp as an ordinary hunting camp, but a standard wooden fortress, and in the future, the trapper's camp would play an extremely important role in Lelouch's development.
What is on the drawing right now is the ideal trapper camp, or "wooden fort".
Limburg's satellite city "Wooden Castle" covers a large area, almost a quarter of the size of Limburg, as a castle of course he also has a city wall, the wall of Timber Castle Lelouch plans to use two layers of wooden planks as the outer wall, the middle is filled with mud to make, this advantage is naturally fast to build, and the cost is low, and his defense is not low, unless the use of large siege equipment, otherwise it is impossible to break the city defense in a short time.
Except for the city wall, there is no castle in the interior, but it has been replaced by a flat land, except for the use of stone roads to divide the area, there is nothing, and the area currently set is only a small barracks and office area in the center of the city and the hunting city gate area near the north wind forest, the rest of the place is still blank, but it is worth noting that there is an artificial river inside the wooden fort, and the role of digging a river in the city is not clear to Kennon, but Lelouch knows how powerful the production force of this wooden fort will be once it is put into use。
There is no warehouse inside the wooden castle, after all, the wooden castle is less than half a day's journey from Limburg, if you upgrade the means of transport, the journey time will be shorter, and as a satellite city of Limburg, there is no need for the wooden castle to exist alone, so many facilities have been saved.
"How long will it take to build such a camp in the first place?"
"It would take us about three months to put in 500 strong labour, mainly to build the road from Limburg to Mubao and to dig an artificial river. ”
For such a time arrangement, Lelouch has no way to increase the speed, in Lelouch's opinion, his engineering needs have dropped again and again, the road surface is not a slate, but a stone, and the castle does not require the establishment of a drainage channel underneath, not to mention the moat, watchtower, but even so, the entire construction period still takes three months, and it must meet the strong labor of 500 people, which is completely impossible for the current Lelouch.
Lelouch did not think about improving the quality of local tools to improve the construction process, but through observation, it was found that the tools here are already very advanced, and if you want to be more advanced tools, you can only engage in the industrial revolution, but when Lelouch has the ability to engage in the industrial revolution, he doesn't care about the construction progress.
In the end, it's the population!
Lelouch sighed slightly:
"Alright, let's follow our pre-set plan, Libert is mainly responsible for taking people to the mobile phone population, Kenon is responsible for the construction of the wooden fort and hunting for it, remember, the hunt needs to be controlled in scale, and there is no destructive hunting!"
After Lelouch explained these words again, he signaled to Libert is Kennon to go down and rest, Lelouch did not plan to stay in Timburg for too long, he would leave Timburg and return to Limburg tomorrow afternoon at the latest, the current work of Murburg has been regularized, and the rest is to go down according to the existing arrangement, these do not need Lelouch to take too much care, the most important thing at the moment is to return to Limburg as soon as possible to prepare to receive the population.
Lelouch didn't believe that the abundance of supplies would not attract people.
...
Hans's small village is located under the guarded mountain range to the west of Limburg, and thanks to the output of the mountains and the nearby fields, it is still able to survive despite the hardships of life.
Hans, as always, guarded a sheep of his own outside grazing, with grass roots in his mouth, chewing tastelessly, the house was out of cooking again, the last time the orc lord came to collect taxes almost took away the last grain of grain in the family, relying on the hidden wild vegetables, the family still stumbled to hear for a week, but it was also a week, when he thought of the five children screaming at home, Hans had a headache, he and his wife had worked very hard, but still could not feed them.
Looking at the only sheep in the family that had not been snatched by the orc master, Hans struggled with whether to kill it, but when he thought that it was a female sheep, Hans couldn't pay attention for a while.
Soon the sun was setting in the west, and Hans took the ewes out for a walk in the hope of finding some more wild herbs, but the result made him despair, for there was nothing but grass in the endless plains, and where were there any wild herbs?
Hans sighed and began to walk towards the village.
Hans's village was very small, with a population of only a dozen or so households, and Hans's family was just one of the most ordinary in the village, and it was close to dinner at this time, but there were few houses in the village that could raise smoke, and soon, Hans walked in front of his house.
Hans's wife was waiting at the door of the house with the children, and when she saw Hans return, the children ran up with cheers, and kept pestering Hans to ask what they had to eat? But Hans, in addition to laughing and teasing them, could only give his wife an apologetic look, but the wife smiled and shook her head, and raised the basket in her hand, which contained a thick stack of grass roots, and a pile of grass beside it.
Just as Hans was about to let the children go home and prepare for dinner, a man rushed in from outside the village, Hans knew him, remembered that he had gone to Limburg yesterday to join his relatives, but why did he come back today?
"Everyone, listen, everyone, hurry up and gather outside the village, get the meat, get the meat!"
The man shouted this, although others did not know what was wrong with this man, but those two words were firmly remembered by everyone: Meat!
Hans glanced at his wife, regardless of the doubts and worries in his wife's eyes, he ran towards the outside of the village without looking back, and when Hans ran to the entrance of the village, there were already several families standing outside the door, all looking in one direction, Hans looked over, only to see that not far away, a convoy slowly came over, led by a tall knight, and five soldiers in armor, plus ten people, these are not highlights. The highlight is the car, deliberately placed in the open air: meat!
