The promise is certain, but there are some things that have to be figured out, and Hathaway doesn't somehow get a whole bunch of people. But she didn't need to ask about this matter, and Cecia next to her. Hughes asked, "Mr. McEnnarro, it seems that many people are able to come and settle in the Cordillera Territory?" ”

"I'm not sure how many people there are, but two or three thousand is certain."

Guise. McKennaro hesitated for a moment, and seemed to have finally made up his mind: "I wonder if Lord Count has an impression of the Alpine Kingdom?" ”

Hathaway noticed that when Gies. McKennello said the name of the country with a gloomy look in his eyes...... But she really doesn't know.

"Didn't the Alpine Kingdom fall a few years ago when it was attacked by the Underground Dwarven Kingdom?" Next to Cecia. Hughes apparently noticed Hathaway's look and interjected a sentence next to him.

"That's right."

Guise. A sad look appeared on McKennello's face, "Because of the greed of some people, the dwarven kingdom was enraged, and they took advantage of our unpreparedness to wash the Alpine kingdom with the blood of the whole country, and in just three days, the elite of the kingdom was lost, the royal family was also purged, a large number of civilians fled their homes, and hundreds of thousands of refugees were refuged. ”

"Mr. McKennello, as far as I know, those underground dwarves don't mean to occupy the ground, so they should have already withdrawn their troops, right?" Cecia. Hughes asked.

"Yes, but they left a message that if they see any more human habitation in the territory of the Alpine Kingdom, they will launch another purge." Guise. McKennello said.

"Don't the surrounding countries care about this?" Hathaway asked, confused.

"It's none of my business. They certainly don't care about this kind of thing. ”

Cecia. Hughes was clear, "Mr. McKennarro, you're probably not an ordinary mercenary, are you?" ”

"Yes, I used to be a high-ranking military officer, I was seriously wounded at the time, and it was my subordinates who snatched me out, and later rescued a group of family members, relatives and friends, and refugees who were sheltered on the road, more than 2,000 people in all. However, if the lord agrees, I can contact the refugees. Let them come and settle in the Cordillera Plateau. Once I've got in touch, adults can take a look for themselves. ”

Refugees caused by wars or natural disasters have always been a headache for countries or lords. These refugees have experienced a lot of hardship, not only in terms of uncontrollable feelings. The most important thing is to solve their food, clothing, housing and transportation. Food, land. It is the survival of ordinary civilians in this world, hundreds of thousands of people...... This is a very terrifying number, for any country, a lord. It is a big problem to solve the problem of food, clothing, shelter and transportation for these refugees. In order to avoid a huge shock to their own countries, the countries bordering the Alps did not accept refugees, but only to appease them, they set up some camp-like camps to provide some necessary food relief.

"Lord Earl, it has been two years since such a day, and a country with a population of more than a million people is now only a few hundred thousand people left, if the lord is willing to take them in, it will be a grace of regeneration for them!" Guise. McKennello stood up and gave a solemn salute.

There is nothing else in the Cordillera territory, but there is a lot of land. Moreover, the practice of the past six months has proved that the concept of the collective farm can be implemented...... In other places, the idea of a collective farm was difficult to implement because of the large power of the aristocracy and the concentration of land. But in the Cordillera, the aristocracy is not so powerful, and they are all minor nobles. And because the population is sparse, it is not clear that there is no amount of land uncultivated, so the aristocracy only buys the necessary land, and is more interested in business or investing in adventure industries.

Listened to Guise. McKennello's words were followed by Hathaway and Cecia. Hughes exchanged a look in surprise, if he could really gather those hundreds of thousands of refugees into the Cordillera territory, it would play a huge role in the development of the territory. Of course, when it comes to operation, there will definitely be some problems, and it is not the placement that is troublesome, but the food. However, this is not an unsolvable problem...... Until this is settled, the collective farms will have at least two seasons of income, and the extermination of the bandits will also receive a large amount of food. However, these harvests alone will certainly not be enough to resettle hundreds of thousands of people, but fortunately, the next step is to arrange to clean up the sea routes, with this advantage, it is not difficult to buy food from other countries, anyway, she is not short of money now.

"There's a problem."

Cecia. Hughes frowned slightly: "My lord, from the place where the refugees now live to our Cordillera territory, which not only passes through the territory of the empire, but also through the territory of other countries, can they allow the passage to guò?" ”

Hathaway looked at Keith. McKennello glanced: "There's no need to worry about this. Refugees are a huge burden, and it is believed that the countries adjacent to the camps will help to unblock the joints and facilitate their departure in order to shake off this burden sooner or later. There are only two things we have to consider, one is the order in the migration process; The second is the supply of grain. The latter, in particular, will certainly not be self-sufficient in food during the migration and for some time after entering the Cordillera territory, so after the decision is made, a large amount of food reserves will have to be made. ”

"It's a huge burden." Cecia. Hughes felt he was overly optimistic.

Even if the food is not very expensive, the food needed by hundreds of thousands of people is very considerable, and even the emperor will have a headache.

"Food is a burden, and the burden is not completely unsolvable. With the current collective farm model of the territory, it will make up for it. Hathaway knew this, she wouldn't just throw piles of gold carats into the water, as if it were an advance on wages. Moreover, she believed that she would be able to get a large amount of income from the encirclement and suppression of pirates, and that what she would have to consider at that time was not what to use to buy grain, but where to buy grain, after all, it was not easy to purchase so much grain at once.

"Mr. McKennello, is Your Excellency interested in working for me?"

Hathaway turned her gaze to Keith. McKennaro, such a golden warrior she will not let go, "I know that your position in the kingdom must be higher than the position I have given. However, since Your Excellency cares about the people of your homeland, I believe that you are happy to serve them. ”

"Oh? What do you mean? "Guise. McKennello asked, hesitantly.

"Your Excellency probably also knows that I am preparing to build a police station, and in the future, law and order in the territory will depend on the name of the police department. The original police commissioner betrayed my trust and led the rebellion to be wiped out. After the immigrants come, I believe that law and order will be the main difficulty for a long time, and if you are willing to give in to the post of police commissioner, I believe that these potential problems can be solved. ”

Over the next few days, Hathaway met with Keith again. McKennello has been given a deep sigh, he has agreed to take up the position of police commissioner, and he has also sent people to contact his mercenary group, and the population of nearly 3,000 people will immediately move to the Cordillera territory. On the other hand, they have also sent people to contact the Refugee Management Committee to discuss the relocation of refugees...... For this, he is only worried about the migration folding process, not that there will be opposition to it.

Hathaway is more interested in the Underworld Dwarven Kingdom, where she is leading the Gies. While inspecting the collective farm, McEnnello asked him for news of the dwarves. The Underground Dwarven Kingdom is a nation of gray dwarves, and although they believe in the same god as the surface dwarves, they seem to be equally fond of creating bloody cases in addition to their passion for smelting, and in this regard, they are no less than those dark elves.

Guise. McKennaro's people came early and settled the work by Petro. Hughes was responsible for negotiating a settlement with him. After inspecting the collective farms, Guise. McEnnello admits that it's a good mode of operation...... In the Cordillera territory, most of the land was under Hathaway's control, except for the land whose purpose was controlled by the barbarian tribe, and she preferred to reward her subordinates with gold carats rather than land, and the sale and purchase of land in the territory was very strict.

During the crackdown, the orcs and miners who had fled to the Cordillera were recruited to form nearly ten collective farms. This business model is also attractive to scattered farmers, many of whom are already asking the officials of the lord's palace if they too have the opportunity to join the farm.

Vermont City, Grand Duke's House Study.

"Father, are you looking for me?"

Katewicz. Fei Wenlie stood at the door, looking at the Grand Duke sitting behind the desk with a little weakness...... In appearance, he inherited the handsomeness of the Grand Duke, but he did not have the momentum of a long high position, and the skin on his face had an almost morbid aristocratic pale, a complexion that was said to be popular among the nobles of Heidelberg.

"Hmm. You know what's happened recently, right? The Grand Duke asked in a deep voice.

"There's been a riot in the Cordillera territory, and I heard that Hathaway slaughtered all her stepmother's brothers, and she did it!" Katewicz. There was a bit of frivolity in Fei Wenlie's words, but he did not forget to show the Grand Duke that he was not unconcerned about current affairs.

Sighing softly, the Grand Duke looked at the second son who was worrying him: "Since you have time recently, why don't you go to the Cordillera Plateau for a walk?" ”

"What's there to visit in that kind of place where rabbits don't poop?" Katewicz. Fei Wenlie said disapprerovingly.

"What else do you know besides playing?!"

The Grand Duke glared at him with some hatred: "I want you to follow that Hathaway. Bel! (To be continued......)
