"Well, that's a good job, it seems that choosing you as the city defense officer was the right decision." Ryan nodded approvingly, although he was a little arrogant, but it was really a great help to Ryan.

Population is the thing he attaches the most importance to, and the centralized protection of the population was originally part of his plan, but now it has saved a lot of effort.

Hans was relieved to see that Ryan was not going to pursue it, it seems that this baron is still easier to speak.

"With such a concentrated population, is there enough housing in the city, enough firewood and food?"

In this era, because of the relationship of productivity, the population is often scattered, such as Kana Ling, but the population of 20,000, and the population of any township on the Blue Star is more than this number.

However, it is divided into several towns and a dozen villages, and the permanent population of Dorman City is only five or six thousand.

This is because the land around Dorman City is not enough to feed such a large population and can only be dispersed.

It's winter, few crops can survive, and firewood for heating is a huge number.

Dorman City, which originally had a permanent population of five or six thousand people, suddenly flooded twice as many people, whether it was eating, drinking, or heating housing, it was a great test.

Hans shook his head with a wry smile and said, "There is no shortage of food and firewood, and there is no shortage of anything else in Kanna, but there is no shortage of these things." The main problem is housing, and now the city is full, and many people are randomly built sheds on vacant lots.

If it snows this winter, it is estimated that many people will freeze to death. ”

"Didn't you organize people to build houses? Even a simple wooden house is better than a shed with leaky winds. "Alan is a little puzzled, there are so many people, and there is no shortage of wood, how much can be repaired.

"I tried it, but it didn't work very well, and it caused a few riots that had to be stopped."

Hans was bitter in his heart, it wasn't that he didn't do anything, he really couldn't do it!

Ryan understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, they lacked a person to coordinate the dispatch, thousands of people worked together, and if there was no effective coordinator, it was normal to cause a riot.

And once people do something collectively, they will have a slack mentality, commonly known as "fishing", and they want to do less, even if those houses are closely related to them.

"Is the daily food distributed in the city?" Ryan asked suddenly.

"Yes, in order to save time when they migrated, they often only brought a few days' rations, which they had already eaten now, and every day they were sent by the knights of Holm to distribute food.

You can rest assured that they will double down after next year's harvest. Hans thought it was Ryan who couldn't bear the grain, and quickly explained.

Ryan understood in seconds, it turned out that there was such a reason in it, the food was borrowed, who would have to bother to build a house?

After all, their roots are outside the city, and now they are just taking refuge, and who will belong to the house when it is built? Of course, it is those aristocratic lords, since this is the case, why do they have to work hard to build a house, and they are not full of food.

Thinking of this, Ryan has a bottom in his heart, and the next plan has been quietly formed.

Unconsciously, the group had already arrived in front of the castle of the previous lord under the "welcome of the people".

Looking at the sturdy and tall castle in front of him, Ryan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, how did the previous lord get to such a castle like a turtle shell?

If the orcs could storm such a castle, the walls of Dorman City would not be enough to see.

After telling Hans about this doubt, the corners of Hans's mouth twitched a little.

It turned out that the previous lord was not killed in the castle, but led the soldiers to take the initiative, and was sent to meet the Lord of Light by the orcs with a stick.

Fortunately, not everyone was stupid with him at the time, and they still repelled the orcs after the lord's death.

It was not so much repulsion as the other party had grabbed enough, and that time Kana Ling lost two or three thousand people, and the rest of the property losses were countless.

Many of the well-trained soldiers were also taken with him by the stupid Pig Lord to meet the Lord of Light, because of his stupidity, what was now left to Ryan was a terrible mess.

After hearing this, Ryan wanted to dig up his grave and open his head to see what was inside, but he actually fought with the orcs, and Nong's brain was w?

"It's useless to say anything about what has happened, Knight Hans, tell me to let all the officials of the villages, towns, and Dorman City come to the castle at seven o'clock tonight, and don't let Ben go and invite them."

Ryan bit the word "all" very hard, and the exposure of the killing aura frightened Hans, and he hurriedly took the order to leave.

Entering the castle, he found that it was very clean, and it was obviously cleaned often, Ryan made a look, and Delay immediately led people to conduct a carpet search, and two hundred people turned the castle upside down in a short time.

Soon reported the details of the inside to Ryan, the castle has a total of four floors, the area is not large, and there is no moat, after all, he was only built by a baron, and the financial and material resources are limited.

The environment inside is a little damp and dim, and the interior is also empty, no one lives in it, and all the warehouses have a large amount of grain, firewood and other things piled up.

There is no trace of the treasure, and there are obvious signs of demolition of the ornaments, and it seems that someone has visited it after the death of the last stupid pig.

"These people are still a little measured, and they don't live in the castle in a grand manner." Ryan casually sat down on a chair and looked at Alan and the others.

"That's looking for death, although we only have two hundred people, but with their rudimentary equipment, we are not afraid at all." Delai was somewhat dismissive.

"That Hans is hiding something from us." Alan groaned.

"What else can there be, a barony, how can it not be the turn of two junior knights to be in charge, someone has escaped." Ryan closed his eyes and said indifferently.

"Why didn't Hans say anything about the escape?" Allen's face was disgusted, and the word "escape" had never been in the knight's dictionary.

"That's what you have to ask him. Let the soldiers divide into two shifts, take turns to rest, and make some hot food, during which everyone is very hard. Ryan's fingers tapped silently on the armrest, slightly tired.

"Okay, it's just that the warriors' skills are not very good, let's find a few servants tomorrow, this castle also needs to be taken care of." Delai looked at the somewhat empty room and smiled.

When Ryan heard this, he suddenly said half-jokingly: "You look at the arrangement of this matter, Uncle Deman is not here, you have to be my big butler." ”

"Hahaha, that's my pleasure." Delai bowed slightly and replied with a smile.

"Ray, what about the civilians who came back with us?" Alan suddenly remembered that there were still two dozen captives who had been rescued by them.

Ryan slapped his forehead, forgot about it, and suddenly said: "Bring that Hervian, I want to ask, by the way, ask if there are any cooks inside, if there are those who are willing to stay in the castle to do things, stay, and if not, send them out." ”
