The man saw Hathaway leaving, and hurriedly followed: "Miss, please wait a minute......"

"Humph!"

A cold snort suddenly sounded in his ears, and the man turned his head angrily...... After seeing the person who came clearly, the look on his face immediately became flattering: "Your Excellency, Viscount, you ...... Do you have something? ”

The person who came looked at him coldly: "If you don't disappear from my banquet immediately, I guarantee that something will definitely happen to you!" ”

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away! Let's go! The man smirked as he stepped back.

"Scum!"

The visitor spat disdainfully, stepped forward quickly, and followed Hathaway's footsteps: "Count Bell! ”

Hathaway stopped, turned around and looked at the middle-aged nobleman with an elegant temperament all over her body in surprise: "What do you call it?" ”

"Gopet. Green. ”

The middle-aged nobleman bowed very gracefully: "Welcome to this banquet Your Excellency the Earl." ”

"You're welcome, I should have taken the liberty of it. I didn't even know the master. Hathaway couldn't help but smile, it turned out to be the host of these banquets. She hadn't seen him up there just now, so she didn't know him. However, the other party recognized her at once, and who leaked the news? On it just now, she didn't introduce her title.

"Shall we go for a walk over there?" Gopet. Green pointed to the back garden.

Gopet. Viscount Green, is the tax collector of Vannell City. According to the information Hathaway has, although this person has some power and influence in Vannal City, he has been here for a long time after all. He didn't know much about things outside the province, and he was able to recognize himself, which was indeed a bit weird.

Hathaway nodded, and the two of them walked out of the hall very tacitly, and when they walked out of the foyer, the cool fresh air rushed in front of them, which made people feel refreshed.

In the back garden, truffle trees of less than two meters zigzag along the sides of the garden, fountains shimmer in the starlight at night, and the soft grass is divided into many irregular patches by lattice paths. The two of them walked along the trail.

"Your Excellency, the Earl. I heard that you came to Vannar City this time mainly for immigration matters...... Refugees from the Alpine kingdom who stayed in the border areas? "Gopet. Green smiled.

Hathaway glanced at him in surprise, not admitting it, but not denying it. Just smile and listen to him.

Gopet. Green didn't seem to be expecting Hathaway's answer, either. Instead, he kept talking to himself. "After the underground dwarves captured the kingdom of the Alps, they plundered it, and it can be said that the country was completely destroyed. Although they did not massacre civilians on a large scale, they drove them from their homes and threatened them. However, the surrounding countries, including the Empire, could not afford to accept these refugees, they were so large that they needed too many resources for even the royal family to do.

According to their plan, they wanted to divide the refugees among the major lords in the country. However, on the one hand, those big lords did not want to give these refugees a normal identity, and they also wanted to take this opportunity to extort a large amount of supplies from the royal family; On the other hand, there are those on the management committees of the camps who want to make a big deal for personal gain.

I have to say that some people's vision is too narrow, and the Alpine kingdom was wiped out by the underground races, and the lips and teeth are cold, which is just a temptation. And the appearance of those refugees is also a temptation. The inaction of the countries at the time of the fall of the Alpine kingdom, and the many prevarications on the refugee issue, may cause endless harm in the future. ”

"Your Excellency is very concerned about the problems of these refugees, why don't you report this idea to the above?" Hathaway asked with a smirk.

"People are soft-spoken."

Gopet. Green shrugged, "Some lords are willing to blame coolies or slaves for accepting refugees, but this is difficult for refugees to accept. And there are also some lords who believe that if they are given the status of free people, they will lose their reverence and cause social unrest, so no one is willing to take the initiative to accept these refugees.

As for me, I'm certainly not a saint. The reason why I care about them is because I used to be from the Alpine Kingdom, and then I joined the Otiga Empire for some reason, and I have a lot of relatives and friends in the Alpine Kingdom. According to the forecast, this year's winter will be unusually cold, and it may be difficult for them to survive this winter without adequate housing, clothing, fuel and food. These are also unbearable burdens for the major lords. ”

Hathaway pondered for a moment and said softly, "Your Excellency, you are very well informed. There is a lack of labor in my territory, and I have indeed come here for refugees...... As you can see, I'm buying food aggressively, just for the refugees who are coming. Before that, I also met with His Majesty the Emperor, just for this matter. However, the Refugee Commission is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, and I do not know how to convince them. ”

"Your Excellency, how many refugees do you want?" Gopet. Green asked tentatively.

"All." Hathaway replied without hesitation.

Gopet. A surprised expression suddenly appeared on Green's face: "Your Excellency, you are really generous, this can be hundreds of thousands of refugees. How are you going to arrange for these refugees? ”

"They will live in the Cordillera as freemen, and all they need to do is their labor and loyalty." Hathaway said.

"There is still a difference between the promise and the reality, these refugees need a lot of various materials, how can you guarantee it?" Gopet. Green continued to ask, rather relentlessly.

"Food is almost ready, housing is being built, and heating is not to be worried. All in all, we are very well prepared and only wait for the immigrants to enter. Hathaway said.

Gopet. Green nodded: "It seems that you are indeed well prepared. Now that you have the order of His Majesty the Emperor, your only difficulty is the camp management committee. It is not very difficult to get around them, and the key is the refugees. As long as they don't trust the management committee, then our chance has come. ”

This idea coincided, and Hathaway nodded: "Do you have any specific solutions?" ”

"One is to create rumors, and the other is to move the refugees away in batches, not to send them to the Cordillera Plateau all at once...... Gopet. Green spoke eloquently.

Suddenly, there was a brisk footstep behind him, and the person who came stopped ten meters away, and a slightly childlike voice reported: "My lord, Steyn. Lord Cassel asks to see you. (To be continued......)
