A bowl of steamed rice, a pot of pork and cabbage soup, and an aluminum can of roast meat.

Although they are all packaged food, they still make the hungry feel absolutely delicious, Charlie and Delai, two ordinary administrative units here to eat what may be the last wild meal before arriving at the destination, you have to say, Lelouch made this meal, which is very convenient for people who need to go out.

The two of them feasted in the shade of a tree, and this almost all-meat meal was simply the best delicacy for these strong, middle-aged men.

The lunch did not take much time, and after the meal the two of them gathered their things casually, and then put them on their horses, and after feeding the horses some feed, they took a nap, and it was not a good plan to travel under the scorching sun, and they were about to arrive, so there was no need to hurry.

The shade of the trees under the scorching sun is simply a rare treasure, enjoying the cool breeze that may blow from time to time, the whole person is extremely drowsy after eating, Charlie is lying on the tree without scruples, putting all his weight on it, the whole person relaxes, the morning rush and full food, at this time replaced by a heavy sleepiness swept his brain, Charlie fell asleep directly without scruples, and Father Delai sat on the ground, closed his eyes to do mass, for the priest this is also a kind of rest.

Fortunately, in the past few years, Lu Luxiu has vigorously suppressed bandits and recovered the black households, and the situation in the entire heaven-given land is relatively stable, and the two of them are not afraid of any danger, in fact, even if there is danger, those dangers do not dare to put their targets on these two people.

After a noon break, the two set off again, dodging the sun before two o'clock in the afternoon, and the temperature began to slowly drop at three o'clock, although it was also extremely hot, but at least it was not as uncomfortable as at noon, and the two rode their horses towards their goal.

Their goal is a town more than ten miles away, the previous manager of this town is a baron, so the town naturally does not look good, otherwise it would not be a baron's turn to be the mayor of the town, the scale of the town is not large, there are more than 100 households, there are nearly five small villages below, adding up to nearly 300 households, the total population is about 2,000 people, this is the population after collecting the nearby black households, but these black households are some plain black households, basically you can find them as soon as you look for them, Lelouch estimates that a town like this, there should be another black household of about 500 people。

Don't underestimate these 500 people, you must know that there are 50,000 such towns, and in the case of an average of 500 people, Lelouch can find out nearly 25 million people, which is very amazing, although these people have always existed somewhere, but when they are unified and registered, they become a member of the Lelouch Empire, and can provide their own power for the entire empire, you can understand that Lelouch has an additional population of 25 million people at once.

At this time, the town was preparing to rest, and a small wall surrounded the whole town, after all, before Lelouch appeared and unified the heaven-sent land, it is not an exaggeration to describe the robbers as many as cows' hair, almost every town and a slightly larger village, were built with walls, and at the entrance of the wall, two local soldiers maintained order here.

Their standing posture is quite decent, although they are wearing ordinary clothes, but with a layer of burqa on the outside, but they are much better than before, in the words of the people here, that is, they finally have a little bit of a soldier's appearance.

In addition to two ordinary soldiers at the door today, there is also a garrison soldier, judging by his attire, it should be an ordinary soldier, there is a small barracks near here, which is stationed in a small team of nearly 100 people, they will regularly send a soldier to a nearby town for local armed militia training, and now the grassroots officials are not yet in place, so there is no one to organize the local reserve mobilizers, these soldiers on duty can only be regarded as temporary hired zero-hour workers in theory, although their welfare and other aspects are completely incomparable with the garrison soldiers, and even the registered reserve mobilizers cannot be comparedBut the temptation to join the garrison still made them enthusiastic about their training.

Not for the sake of 'His Majesty the Great Son of God', but for the sake of the 'great welfare', to be a soldier and eat food, to eat food and be a soldier, people are very real, not to a dead end, who will listen to your nonsense???

Many residents who returned to the town from farming outside saw a garrison soldier standing at the door, and they all gathered around curiously, the handsome armor and burly body brought them extremely shocking feelings, although this is not the first time they have seen it, but every time they see a garrison soldier, they will still be extremely curious.

Many people are curious about why the soldiers of the garrison are waiting at the door today, and the two soldiers on duty at the door are even more straight, with an obvious excitement on their faces, after all, as the first to see the future leader, they have a great chance of being promoted to reserve mobilizers, and maybe even the next expansion of the army, they may be promoted into the garrison boot training camp.

Charlie and Delai saw the crowd waiting at the door from a long distance, and also saw the straight garrison soldiers standing in the crowd at the door, they looked at each other, and couldn't help but speed up, after the two of them came to the door, the garrison soldiers finally moved, he ran to Charlie's bottom, first saluted a military salute, and then said:

"Is it Lord Charles and Father Delai?"

Charlie first dismounted, and then said solemnly: "Yes!"

The soldier hurriedly said:

"I am a corporal of Garrison No. 501, and today I will mainly bring management information and information to the two of you. ”

"Okay, thank you!"

After bidding farewell to the garrison, the two walked towards the door, and the two soldiers on duty hurriedly walked up, bowed their heads and said:

"Welcome to the town, two adults, do you need us to take the two of us to the church and the mayor's longhouse to rest first?"

Seeing these two people, Charlie frowned slightly and looked very serious, which made the two soldiers a little hairy, but the priest said with a kind smile on his face:

"Then it's troublesome, let's go inside. ”

As he spoke, the priest suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to the townspeople who were gathered around him, and said:

"Okay guys, we are Father Delai and Archon Charlie in this town in the future, we may have to get along with you for a long time in the future, it's getting late today, everyone go back early to rest, don't delay tomorrow morning's farm work!"

It must be said that the priest is no worse than the political commissar in his ideological work, this kind of 'Middle-earth politics≈ap;ap; The townspeople were relieved, but fortunately the priest was very talkative, and the two soldiers were not embarrassed to lead the way in front.

The town is indeed a small town, the houses are mostly dilapidated and crowded, the main road does not even allow horse-drawn carriages, the whole town has no traces of commerce except for a blacksmith shop and a butcher's shop, and if there is one building that can be handled, there is only one mayor's longhouse and church.

The brick and stone built of the longhouse is relatively large, the living area and office area are available, and there is an equally large warehouse below, which can be used as a warehouse for a lot of government materials, or temporarily used as a warehouse, and then painted with a layer of white wall powder on the outside, which looks simple and generous, quite the appearance of the later miniature version of the court, and the church is built tall and large, which can accommodate at least 200 people at the same time for mass, the second floor of the church is the priest's rest area, and there is a vegetable field in the backyard, which can meet some of the priest's own living needs。

Both of these buildings were newly built, built in full accordance with the uniform standards of the White City, and naturally they were much better than the old mansions outside that were almost a hundred years old.

The two of them first took their own things to settle down, in fact, they moved their things into their living quarters, and then inspected their own one-acre and three-point land, and had a general understanding of the place where they would live in the future.

The territory of the whole town is still quite large, but most of the outside is now cultivated fields, Charlie is slightly helpless about this, the farmers' enthusiasm for work is certain, but their current practice has seriously hindered their future planning for the town, or the implementation of the planning plan in the plan, he shook his head slightly and walked towards the barracks, at this time the barracks already knew that the new adults in the town had come, so they packed up early, whether they can mix with a reserve mobilizer in the future, it depends on today's performance。

Charlie came to the barracks, this barracks was outside the town, after all, the town was already crowded, and there was no room for a new barracks, and inside the barracks, there was a small team of twenty people, and a temporary squad leader was waiting for Charlie's arrival at the door.

The barracks are not badly built, a row of wooden houses in the living quarters, a row of canteens with the same wooden houses, a small school field in the middle, a flagpole in the middle, on which the flag of the Templar Empire is fluttering, the entire barracks are strictly in accordance with the construction manual issued by Baicheng, although the construction is small, but it is extraordinarily reasonable.

The appearance of the soldiers is still okay, maybe it can be performed today, the soldiers are standing very straight, but Charlie is still not particularly satisfied with these soldiers, after all, he came out of the garrison, in his opinion, the soldiers of the garrison can be regarded as soldiers, these people are just a group of ordinary people who have taken up arms in his own opinion, uh, well, maybe a little better than ordinary people, at least there is some discipline.

Charlie looked at the twenty soldiers in front of him, nodded expressionlessly, then looked at the squad leader who followed behind him, and suddenly said:

"You haven't eaten today, right, I'm here today!"

Well, Charlie wanted to raid the barracks food.

The food in the barracks is actually very good, and the food of these people is supplied by Baicheng, so it is much better than the farmers who have not yet completed the first harvest, not to mention that there is meat to eat at meals, but at least there is meat to eat every day, and dinner is specially added because Charlie came, and an extra dish was added:

Potato roast pork, bacon slices, cucumbers, bone broth, although there are only four dishes, but the portion is absolutely enough, in order to perform in front of Charlie, but also put a lot of oil and spices without hesitation, it tastes extraordinarily delicious, Charlie nodded with satisfaction.

Not to mention Charlie's inspection of government affairs, Delai is door-to-door condolences, holding the reserve materials received from the warehouse, each family issued a little bacon and rice noodles, although there are not many things, but it also greatly narrowed the relationship between the two sides, Delai is mainly to understand the basic situation of each family, and at the same time close the relationship between the townspeople and Baicheng.

For the priest's family is full of welcome, in Delai's opinion, the middle family prepared for today's dinner, he visited two families, each family invited him to come from home as a guest, but Delai politely refused, the situation in this town is still very good, but the number of people is relatively small, and there is no unified planning, the road is also dilapidated, almost to the point of complete use, for this, Delai has nothing to worry about, after all, this is not his own job.

This is not to shirk responsibility, it is not to cross the line, employees can rush to do it, but officials can't rush to do it, unless the other party invites, otherwise it is better not to do it, after all, Lelouch does not want to see the church reach out to the internal affairs.

After several visits in a row, Delai returned to the family where he first said he would come to eat, and the dining table is the place that can best reflect the wealth of a family, although during this period of time, with Lu Luxiu's large number of local tyrants and land division, the farmers have brought rich income, but after all, where is the total amount of the entire God-given land, the next time, and even before the next harvest, each family has absolutely no extra food, and can only be forcibly dragged from the hunger and poverty line to the food and clothing line by Lelouch now.

As the middle class of the whole town, this family can provide Delai with the basic information of the whole town, and the food on the table is actually very good, at least in the eyes of this family, a bowl of carrot and bacon, a bowl of fried cabbage, plus a pot of cabbage and carrots and an egg in vegetable soup, although the dish is roasted, and there is only one meat dish, but the portion is absolutely enough, and judging from the children's expressions, this meal should be rich enough.

In this regard, Delai has a clear understanding of the current living conditions of each family

The whole town is not said to be well fed at present, but there is no problem for every family to be full, that is to say, after a certain amount of farm work, they can directly invest in the construction, and Charlie also decided to take advantage of the fact that the town did not last too long, first take back all the land within a radius of 2 kilometers within 500 meters of the town's peripheral housing, and do not allow continued farming, these places will be used for construction, this town is still relatively small, but the necessary expansion is still required, according to Lelouch every household one' The construction of small villas or 'small high-rises' requires that these lands must be set aside.

Fortunately, the land has not been cultivated for too long, and it is now fully usable, and a new school yard will be built, and the central town square will be expanded. In the future, the black household population that will continue to be absorbed will also have to prepare for local resettlement, and the land of these two kilometers will only be less, not more.

The night was peaceful, and after getting to know each other's situation, Delai and Director Cha went back to their own place to rest, at least after walking in the wilderness for so long, a hot bath always had to be washed, and finally a refreshing rest, and the feeling of lying in bed was always much better than the feeling of lying on it.

Nothing was said all night

When the first rays of sunlight shone through the clouds on the earth the next day, a Delai got up early, ate a little white bread and water after washing, and opened the door of the church, at this time a large number of townspeople had gathered at the door, they were waiting for the priest to lead them to pray, faith is always such a thing can only be channeled and cannot be stopped, and Lelouch is still a country, and the role of religion in the people is very strong.

"Father Morning!"

"Good morning!"

"Good morning priest!"

Every townsfolk who entered the church greeted the priest, and Father Delay smiled and nodded in response, and only after everyone had come in, he closed the door and walked to the innermost lecture hall, where Father Delay was wearing a rather gorgeous priest's suit, which made him look more holy, and the kind smile on his face made everyone inside extra relaxed and happy.

With the priest's high voice, the whole church began to pray, this is also the first time in this town after a hundred years of absence, under the leadership of the priest to start praying, this may be a small thing, but this shows that the white city's ruling authority over the place once again enveloped the land, and this land has also become a part of the Lelouch system.

After the morning prayers, Charlie met with all the townspeople and issued several rules, such as that the land outside the town could not be cultivated.

And after these little things, Charlie went to his five villages under the leadership of a soldier, while Father Delai took a few children to clean the church, and at the same time prepared to use these children to form a choir, which was quite powerful!
