Chapter 93: Population Explosion
"Let's talk about the situation in the territory lately. "Seeing that the territory is prosperous, Chi Nan is still very happy.
It's just that Hemila's face is a little weird: "Let me talk about it first, the situation in the territory is a little bad now, and our food is about to run out, but my lord, you should have no problem coming back." ”
"What? Running out? How is that possible. Didn't I still have a lot of flour in the territory before I left, enough for us to use for a few months, how could we use it so quickly. "Has the territory come to this point?
Hemila spread her hands helplessly: "My lord, you haven't known for half a month since you left, the current population of our territory has exceeded 10,000, so the food consumption is also very large." And the problem of drinking water is also very serious, and our army's drinking water is now coming from the river outside. It is necessary to prepare more for civilians every day. ”
"How can there be so many people, what the hell is going on?" Chi Nan was surprised. But the bigger the population, the better.
Now that he has returned to the territory, the water problem has been solved. When the land next to the river can be used, he will be able to plant more jujube trees. This jujube tree bears fruit all year round.
At most, it grows slower and the quality is worse in winter. As long as that large area of land can be utilized, let alone 10,000 people, even if another 10,000 people are coming, there will be no problem.
Hermila looked at one leg and said, "Home, come and talk to your lordship." ”
One leg got up and said respectfully: "It's such an adult."
Without waiting to finish speaking, Chi Nan pressed his hand: "Sit down and say, it's all your own people, you don't need to be so respectful." One leg knew Chi Nan's temper and immediately sat down, but he was still a little uncomfortable.
"My lord, in fact, the front line is lost, and the beastmen are constantly retreating under the attack of the berserkers. Some civilians who had been hiding came out and had nowhere to go, so they came to us. I don't know who is out there spreading rumors that we have plenty of food and a safe environment, so a lot of people have come to us. ”
"And during this time, there have been a lot of berserkers, and there have been three attacks by more than 100 orcs. ”
It's no wonder that they don't look good. Some people said that their place was good, and then attracted countless people to defect. You know, the reason why rumors can spread is because there are many people.
Now in the case of Remas, it is not easy for this dazzle to really spread, and it always feels as if someone is deliberately dealing with him. If it weren't for themselves, the previous red sarin, with so many people, would have collapsed long ago.
After thinking about it, Chi Nan smiled: "Okay, this is a good thing, the more people who come, the better, what we lack most now is people." By the way, Lao Muka, you are responsible for selecting those talents and putting them in the positions that can be used. ”
Old Muka immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, we all know it." ”
"Why, if there's anything you haven't said, tell me. ”
Hemira said with some heaviness: "It's such an adult, there was a riot within the territory some time ago. Fortunately, we found out in time and suppressed these rioters. ”
"Riot, what's going on?" Chi Nan was annoyed in his heart, he had done so much, and there were still people rioting.
"Well, we found out that the one behind the trouble was actually a robber, and after their bandit group was destroyed, this person was hidden among the refugees. The previous robber learned that the lord was no longer in the territory, and in order to be able to obtain the full strength of the territory, he would incite the masses. Fortunately, the civilian population has a high level of recognition of us, and someone came to report the incident in advance. ”
Chi Nan's eyes narrowed, and the light in his eyes flickered. A large population is sometimes not entirely a good thing.
"So how do you do it. "There doesn't seem to be anything going on right now.
"We arrested the troublemaker and those involved and hanged them in the center of town, their bodies still hanging outside the fortress. In order to prevent people from making trouble, we have stepped up our audits and increased the number of troops without authorization. ”
One leg bowed his head and said, "My lord, it was my fault, I asked for an increase in the number of troops." ”
Chi Nan did not blame: "You guys did a good job. "It's best that the scale of the riot wasn't allowed to grow. Once the insurrection is launched, the end result is unimaginable.
"My lord, the current army in our territory has reached 1,000 people, and because of this matter, our food consumption rate will be so fast, Lord Lord, please punish me. ”
Chi Nan said impatiently: "If I say it's not your fault, it's not your fault, but the ratio of ten to one is really high enough." It seems that it is necessary to continue to increase the population. In fact, can the issue of law and order be left to the police? I don't know what a police officer is, but retired soldiers and reserve soldiers, who are in charge of law and order and do not go to the battlefield. ”
It was not easy for Chi Nan to explain to them what the police were: "It turns out that they are some security officers, if you had said so, we would have known." Hemila and the others suddenly realized.
Security officers are not only law and order, they belong to the branch of the army, and they need to go to the battlefield when they encounter danger.
However, they can think about it as much as they want, and Chi Nan really doesn't know much about some of the situations in this world.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's tell me first, what's going on on the front line, isn't the situation very good. How did it become like this all of a sudden? "Chi Nan is weird.
One leg told the information he knew, and Chi Nan realized the seriousness of the problem. Unexpectedly, the defense line has been compressed to the rear. If you continue like this, it won't be long before you're back at Blackstone Fortress.
And in the face of a large-scale orc riot, once you return to the Blackstone Fortress, it is not certain whether the Blackstone Fortress can be held intact. I don't know why, there are so many berserkers in the north going south. And according to the intelligence, these berserkers don't seem to have thought of leaving at all, and instead treat this place as their new home.
If you let these beastmen continue to wreak havoc, you will definitely be affected. Now, on the road outside, there are often beastmen running to their territory.
If the berserk enters more, I'm afraid that their territory may not be able to keep it in the future. No, we must find a way to solve this problem, if it really doesn't work, then we can only take the initiative.
