In the central tent of the slave camp, Yuling is training 400 enumerators selected from tens of thousands of people.

However, the challenge was at the outset, and Yuling found that most of the 'literate' population in the camps she was asking for was barely able to write their names, and many more were adding their own names to them.

Although Yuling has completely participated in the enrollment of the Pure Tower and the Imperial Capital in the past six months, these two groups of children are children with a solid foundation and have seen the world, and they don't need to worry about the territory at all in various statistical work......

"The adults taught the barbarian children to read, but it took months and little effect," the girl muttered quietly, thinking that tomorrow she would apply to Rand for more Galloping Horse Academy students.

The 400 people in front of them saw that Yuling's face was not good, and they immediately quieted down, and no one dared to disturb the adult's thinking.

Seeing the mage in front of her hesitating, Noya made a ruthless move to the front of the team, and whispered to Yuling, "My lord? Statistics, are you in a hurry? ”

"Of course," Yuling looked at the girl in front of her, nodded and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

Yuling's words made Nuoya's heart excited, and the mage in front of him not only generously admitted his predicament, but also was willing to accept the advice, so he hurriedly said: "Most of the people here are born slaves, they have never been literate or speak, and they can't understand many words.

If you really want to complete the statistics, you might as well gather all the knights, nobles, or stewards' sons and daughters in the camp, most of whom are literate. ”

"Well, you have a point," Yu Ling's face suddenly lightened a lot, but the problem was not solved, "but the number of people in this group is limited, and it is impossible to disperse evenly in each tent group. ”

"Uh......" Noya didn't know what to do, but at this moment, a boy came over.

"Lord Yuling, I'm Ivan from Kirislav, and my father was a knight,"

The boy stood next to Noya and said with a smile: "There are actually only two kinds of slaves in this camp, one is born slaves, there are more than a dozen members of such a family, there are only mothers and children, and they don't have any skills.

The other is captured by the slave catchers or abandoned by large families, and these people have the skills mentioned in your booklet. ”

"So you mean, I just need to count these alien slaves?" Yuling looked at the two children in front of her and felt hopeful.

"Actually, you can find the leaders, and now the leaders of the tent group know what is foreign in their tents," Noah added.

"Excellent! The two of you are very nice! Yuling patted the two people on the shoulder, and then said to the people in the tent, "Now you immediately return to your group and convey my order: ask the leader of your group to bring the nobles or housekeepers in your group over!" ”

"Yes!" With Yuling's order, the 400 people immediately dispersed and ran towards their respective tents.

Seeing that Ivan and Noah were about to leave, Yuling instructed: "You two have to come back to me later!" I have more things to ask you! ”

The area where Yuling is located has become lively again, and there are constantly leaders who bring the noble children of their group over.

However, in the area of another squire, Baron Dutov's wife, with her daughter and several orc life priests, was examining the bodies of the preparatory squires one by one.

After probably looking at a few so-called girls of elven blood and noble blood, the baroness's face was completely ugly, thinking that this group of children would have to train for a few years before they could become suitable maids, and if they wanted to become the attendants of the royal family, I am afraid that they would have the next generation.

"Ma'am? Are your children not healthy enough? Banni, the half-deer priestess, looked at her with a cold face, and asked with some puzzlement, in Banni's opinion, the children here are similar to the half-orc children in the Frostwolf Forest, at most they are more simple here.

Madame Dutov was embarrassed and said, "Lord Priest, I think that if the Marquis of Rand really needs an attendant, it is better to choose from among the children of the nobles, and I am afraid that we can still make up a hundred or ten such children in our camp." ”

"In my opinion, he may not really want too many noble sons to become servants and attendants of the court," said Banny with a smile, "Lord Rand wants each of his people to be of the greatest use." ”

……

In the stables of Iowa Town, Rand is still guarding the cocoon shell of the fire, and during the day today, he took the Black Rabbit to build dozens of kilometers of foundation for the town to the nearest dock, and in the next few days the Salt and Iron Division will deliver this section of the rails, and in addition to the salt mines, coal mines, and iron mines, the territory will finally have rail transportation.

The idea of a Rand steam locomotive could not yet be implemented due to the fact that their dwarves were still studying in the salt and iron divisions, but three mines had proven that even with horse-drawn horses, the capacity of rail transportation was far better than that of conventional horse-drawn carriages.

However, the black rabbit, who had worked all day, looked very tired and unwell in the evening, and when the sun did not set, she formed a stone cocoon in the stable, like a boulder about 3 meters long, leaning against the side of the cocoon of the fire.

"Agni, you'd better come out of the cocoon quickly, otherwise tomorrow the black rabbit will break out of the shell first, and you won't be the first high-level demonic beast in the territory!" Rand stroked the shell of the fire's cocoon and whispered.

Now, although the army of the orc royal court has arrived in Hinduk, it has not marched towards the Iowa Pass, but has entrenched itself at the gate of Abaidi, I don't know why.

It stands to reason that Rand can find time to go to the south and take 50,000 slaves out of the White Tree territory first, and then make plans, but now that the two old friends have turned into cocoons and are ready to break through, Rand has no intention of doing anything else.

The four-headed monster is Rand's mount and pet, but Rand also puts a lot of effort into them, seeing them as his partners and friends, and when Agni is in the cocoon, Rand can clearly feel that her need for magic nets is much greater than usual, so he leaves the sword of magic nets made by Tynia to Agni every night for her to provide her with more magic power.

"Rand? I heard that Black Rabbit is also going to break through? Arvinne followed Kaye into the stable, and as soon as she finished speaking, she saw the big rock behind Rand, "Wow! The black rabbit is so big, if she breaks through, she won't directly become a protoceratop, right? ”

Rand saw that the elf in front of him actually had the heart to joke, so he said with a bitter face: "I said princess, you should go to the south if you are tired, just two days, there are too many people over there, and the dog teeth really can't take care of it."

"Hmph, don't go" Hearing that Rand was going to transfer him away, Yavini turned her head and showed great resistance, "I must watch the fire come out!" ”

As an elven knight, Yawenni has changed dozens of mounts, but she has never ridden a high-level magical beast, and she has been a knight for nearly a hundred years, and she really doesn't want to miss the opportunity to ride a high-level magical beast.

"My lord, why don't Kaye go?" Kaye looked at Yavini and simply volunteered.

"Forget it, you can't solve the problem over there, I'll ask Gureya tomorrow to see if I can ask Guchiraf to help." Rand said helplessly.
