Chapter 230: Assignment

Chen Jian stipulated that only refugees who were willing to officially join Hammondal, identify with the rule of their lord, and undergo simple queue training with the original lords, could receive a ration of rations for free during this special time, but they had to pay an IOU, and after everyone stabilized, they still had to try to return the money to the lord.

This money can also be repaid with hard labor, and now there are a lot of jobs in Hammondal, and there are too many jobs to ship supplies, mine iron ore, prepare for the relocation, and build new territories after the relocation, which requires a lot of labor.

As soon as Chen Jian's policy was implemented, it immediately caused a huge repercussion among the refugees, most of the refugees chose to use IOUs to receive food, join Hammondal, and submit to the rule of the local lord in their eyes is not a big deal, in their opinion, this is just a change of tax object, who will pay the tax in the future? And I've heard that the taxes here are much less than in other places.

Although the lord claimed that this was to prepare for future migration, it was a bit difficult for most of the farmers and their families who only knew how to farm the land, and it was a bit difficult for them to distinguish how to complete those seemingly simple actions according to the password, and to line up in a relatively neat formation, and most of them could not even distinguish between the left and right directions.

Moreover, the newcomers didn't want to be as enthusiastic about Chen Jian as the original human lords or the alien lords who came before, so some people began to receive food but did not participate in the training, or simply planned to white-collar food, this phenomenon was soon discovered by Chen Jian, who had long expected this to happen.

Then these refugees were driven out of Hammondale by Chen Jian without hesitation.

At this time, you can't be soft, otherwise, this phenomenon will only increase, and finally lose control, and the authority of your lord will be questioned by everyone, and your dominance will begin to waver.

Killing the chicken and showing the monkey is the best option, so that these refugees will understand that the lord of Hammondale is not a good man, this lord can be merciful, but he also has the power of life and death over the people, and if anyone dares to violate his authority, he will not be merciful.

This is called the combination of grace and power.

The crowd was crying as hundreds of the refugees were driven out of Hammondale by the Hammondale army.

All the refugees who were driven out were full of regret, and they pleaded with the soldiers, but all they got was cold eyes and sharp knives and guns, and the soldiers did not have a good opinion of these guys who dared to disobey the orders of the lord and take advantage of the lord's mercy to cheat them into food.

In the eyes of these soldiers who are loyal to Jian Chen, Hammondale is now in an extraordinary period, everyone has to work together with the lord to survive, and there is no need for such people who do not obey the lord's orders here.

Chen Jian's control of public opinion in the territory once again had an excellent effect, and soon the matter spread among the refugees, under Robert's control, most of the remarks were favorable to Chen Jian, and of course, the glorious deeds of the lord also began to circulate among the refugees at the same time, which was an essential part.

But these are all later words, and now Chen Jian has to face a lot more.

After Orison returned, Jian Chen immediately summoned everyone to discuss the matter, and Esrena wanted to join, but was sternly rejected by Jian Chen.

"Miss Acerena, Catherine has only sent you to protect me, please don't act beyond your power! It's easy to misunderstand your purpose! We are now discussing something important, and outsiders are not welcome to join! I hope that this will not happen again in the future, and I ask you to leave this hall now! ”

For this female angel, Chen Jian doesn't have a good face, no matter who it is, he will not have a good impression of the person who monitors him, not to mention that every time Chen Jian sees these angels, he will think of the female magician who was left with Catherine.

Being scolded by Jian Chen, Esreina was very dissatisfied, and she defended: "I must protect you closely!" What if there are enemy spies among these people? Wasn't that how Moryl got in before? If something happens to you, I can't explain it to Lord Catherine! ”

Chen Jian said angrily: "Please don't make some inexplicable moves and slander my subordinates, otherwise I will contact Catherine and ask her to rearrange someone to come over!" ”

Hearing Jian Chen say that she was going to change people, Esreina seemed a little nervous, although she was still reluctant, she still secretly muttered something and left.

But she didn't go far, but stayed outside the door, which made Jian Chen very annoyed, but there were two Thor's troll soldiers watching outside the door, and he wasn't worried that this female angel would eavesdrop.

After Jian Chen explained to everyone what happened to Morriel and what happened to Catherine, everyone was in an uproar.

Everyone knows that Sima is Moriel, the queen of the dragon, but the sorceress Ash Temple was taken hostage by Catherine?

Everyone looked at each other.

"But there is no good solution to the matter right now, so I can only take one step at a time, the migration work still has to be carried out immediately, due to the time limit of the portal, we can only migrate in batches, and I have already explained this matter to Catherine, she and the Empire will not interfere with our actions! Mr. Tren, could you please tell us a little bit about the situation in the Evermont Islands, I think we need to know more about this place! ”

Tren nodded, described the situation he knew in detail, and finally said: "The magic mark I left on the island back then was on a large island where undead creatures were relatively rare, after we passed, with the protection of the army, the danger was not great, most of those undead creatures were just some low-level unconscious skeletons and zombies, and their combat effectiveness was not much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, with the combat power of the Hammondale army, it was not difficult to deal with them, as long as they had a firm foothold on this island, We can gradually expand to other islands and eventually occupy the whole of Evermont! ”

After Tren finished speaking, Chen Jian said: "This is the situation, so the first batch of our migrants can only be troops and craftsmen, as well as a large number of materials for infrastructure construction!" The army is responsible for sweeping up the island of undead creatures, and the artisans are using supplies to start building our new home, doing the preliminary work so that the lords have a place to live when they pass, and if possible, we will build a fortress on the island to make it safer! Do you have any questions? ”

The half-elf was the first to ask, "Lord Lord, what about the elven kingdom, will our actions make them misunderstand?" ”

Chen Jian said: "After the meeting, I will write to the Elf King to communicate about this matter, there should not be too much of a problem!" ”

Kosai thought for a moment and asked, "My lord, Mr. Trun, how is the climate in the Evermont Islands?" It won't be very different from Hammondale, right? ”

Tren shook his head and replied: "Not really, the climate of the Evermont Islands is very good, although I don't know what is going on, but in the legend of the year, the climate there is pleasant all year round, when I went there, it was winter, but it was not cold at all, it felt like spring warmth to me, if I really want to say the difference, it is a little humid, after all, it is an island, surrounded by the sea, and the humidity is relatively large!" ”

After listening to Tren's words, Kosai suggested: "My lord, shouldn't we gather the people who know how to heal, just in case, we must change to a new place, and some unsuitable water and soil are inevitable, and their herbs should be of great help at that time?" And some herb seeds should be brought with you, as there may not be any of them in the Evermont Islands! ”

was reminded by Kesai like this, Chen Jian also woke up, this is indeed a problem that cannot be ignored, in case there is any epidemic, it is not enough to rely on a body magician like Philip.

This matter was immediately arranged by Chen Jian for Kosai and the old butler to complete it together, and the busiest people in Hammondale during this time were these two.

There is no way, there are already many things, and the refugees have to be resettled, except for adding more people to them, Chen Jian can't think of any good way for a while.

Another question was raised by Pete, and that was the choice of the craftsman.

Regarding this problem, Chen Jian also had a headache.

According to his original intention, of course, he hoped that the dwarven craftsmen sent by the dwarven king Hesfa could migrate to Evermont Island with him, and with the help of these hill dwarves who were skilled in construction, it would be of great help to the construction of the new territory, both in terms of progress, quality, and master planning.

But these hill dwarves were not Chen Jian's subordinates after all, and he knew that this matter was really a bit difficult, so he asked Malkem to send someone to help him make several sets of construction plans for the island, but when it came to the problem of craftsmen, Chen Jian could only find another way.

If it's just a labor problem, it's easy to solve, and it's not a problem at all for Hammondale to grab a lot of people who have nothing to do right now.

But the difficulty is that building a territory is not just a matter of labor, Chen Jian had the intention to hire some engineers from the hill dwarves to help, but the connection with the stone castle was suddenly cut off.

After thinking about it, Jian Chen still decided to go to Malkam to discuss after the meeting, and see if he could temporarily seconded some dwarves to him, and at most spend some effort later, and ask Tren to help send them back.

Everyone discussed for a while, but no one asked any more questions, so Chen Jian began to assign tasks.

Pete, the half-elf, was appointed by him as the commander-in-chief of the first group to migrate to Evermont Island, and seized the military and political power.

To be on the safe side, Orison, the big-eared monster, was also sent by Jian Chen to assist Pete.

Although both of them have no experience in taking charge alone, Chen Jian has no choice, there are only these people in his hands, who does not need them?

Moreover, Chen Jian believes that people are forced out, with the talents of Pete and Orison, this is not a good opportunity for them to get excellent training, and if a force wants to develop, it is not enough to rely on its own ability.

"Pete, you are in charge of playing the vanguard, this time the matter on Evermont Island will be entrusted to you! Orison, you go with Pete, you have a little more experience in military affairs than Pete! ”

"I see, lord!" Pete and Orison echoed in unison.

After the meeting, Chen Jian was about to check on the progress of the work, but the soldier came to report that the halfling patriarch Dominic had something important to ask to see him.
