Chapter 105: Conditions
Listening to Green's conditions, Villeston breathed a sigh of relief, the situation was much better than Veres expected.
In many cases, refugees actually have no choice, and there are not many chances to live, and they will only end up with a place where they have no bones.
Most people will have sympathy for refugees, but when they are actually faced with refugees, they will not give completely without expecting anything in return.
The aristocrat will take the opportunity to coerce the refugees to become his slaves, giving the refugees a chance to survive, but what they lose is a lifetime of freedom and the freedom of their children.
The children of slaves are still slaves.
Officials in some cities may be better, but they will not help these refugees in vain, and they will give a lot of life to the refugees that not many people are willing to do, which is not only hard, but also has a high chance of dying.
At the same time, refugee women, especially beautiful women, face a different form of coercion.
Of course, men don't let go of some special flavors.
But in history, there is not without the kind of helpers who do not ask for anything in return, but among the refugees, the good and the bad are mixed, and most of the refugees know gratitude, but some refugees have greed.
These people are dissatisfied.
Originally, they suffered an unfortunate experience, which is indeed a matter of sympathy, but it is not other humans who caused all this, but half-orcs, and the responsibility lies with the half-orcs.
But after receiving the help, they feel that the help is deserved, and they feel that it is the obligation of the rescuer.
They are not satisfied with just food for life, they also want to eat meat, and this is something that many civilians who have not suffered and have not become refugees cannot enjoy.
They feel they deserve it.
Some rescuers were unwilling to meet their excessive demands, and they began to insult the rescuers, even threaten and beat them, so that later such rescuers who did not ask for anything in return gradually decreased.
One of the most famous events in the history of the Kingdom of AndrΓ© is about a viscountess.
The viscountess, whose husband died young, had a son and a daughter, was a very nice person, full of kindness, and was very kind to the civilians in the realm, and also to the refugees.
But the kindness is a bit too much, to the extent that the Virgin is sick.
So much so that after that, the knights and subordinates of the Viscountess Mansion were driven away, the Viscountess's children died at the hands of the refugees, and the Viscountess herself was also killed by the refugees, and the refugees occupied the Viscountess' Mansion.
This continued until, when the local count sensed that something was wrong and reported the matter to King Andrew.
King AndrΓ© investigated, and then sent an army to kill all the refugees, leaving none behind.
Even if they were real refugees, even if they really used to be pitiful.
But as a person, who can do such a sinful act to the person who has shown grace to him, such a person has no value of survival and has lost his value as a human being.
Since then, both the aristocracy and the city officials have been much more cautious about helping refugees.
Veres is also aware of this situation, so a fair trade is very much in line with Veres's psychological expectations.
Green continued: "I'm going to build you some makeshift houses, and you'll live in them first, and then I'll send someone to bring you food, and I'll be able to keep you alive this winter, as long as you don't run around." β
"However, this is after you have signed the contract. β
As he spoke, Green turned around and said, "Peak, take the contract to Mr. Veres." β
Veres took the contract and looked at it carefully.
The above content can be understood by Veres, the conditions are not so sympathetic, but they are not very harsh, and they are within the range of Veres's acceptance.
In fact, the conditions were good enough for Veres.
In the face of this group of old, weak, sick and disabled, there are actually very few who are willing to accept Veres, because they are basically unable to create any value, and more are just burdens.
"Have you finished reading?"
"Back to the Duke, I've finished reading it. β
"If there is no problem, just sign the contract, everyone, need to sign their own name. β
"Yes, Lord Duke. Veres was the first to sign his name, then took the deed and walked up to everyone behind him and asked them to write their names on it.
Green took the contract, glanced at it, nodded, and said, "Okay, the contract has been signed, I'll take you to see where you are about to stay." β
Greene's choice of location for the refugees is in the Orleans neighborhood, not far from where the current town of Greene has been relocated, but not very close.
After all, the two sides are not familiar with each other, and the distance is too close, and it is not very good.
Too far away is not conducive to the integration of these refugees into Orleans.
Green wanted to be able to leave this group of refugees in Orleans, after all, Orleans has a serious shortage of population, there are fewer people, and many things will be inconvenient, and leaving these people is a supplement.
Although these people are old, weak, sick and disabled, the old do not care, those who are young, as long as they are given time, they will grow up sooner or later, form a family, and reproduce.
When the Rand Chamber of Commerce engineering team built the houses in the Orleans neighborhood, a lot of building materials were transported, and after the construction of those houses, there was still some leftover.
This was the time to build temporary shelter for these refugees.
The three Mayers, the two Hans, and some of the citizens of Orleans were involved.
The house built for the refugees this time has a simple structure, only one floor, and the main purpose is only to be able to shelter from the wind and rain, and it does not require very good construction skills and construction technology.
So this time the construction was fast.
There is only one floor, and there is only one room, a very long bed, from the head of the room to the end of the room, enough for these refugees to rest, and the washroom and toilet are built separately, not far apart, just a few steps away.
Seriously, this is not a house, it can only be said to be some high-end tents, but for these refugees, it is enough, as long as there is a place to rest, a safe place to live, and a full stomach, they are satisfied.
Green looked at Veres and said, "This is the basic condition I offer you, if you want to get more things, then you must sign an additional contract. β
"Also, you need to prove your worth to me. β
