A strange notice appears in Mulan City.

This notice has been copied in countless copies, and posted in the most conspicuous and conspicuous places in all the densely populated places in Mulan City.

At the gates of the city, outside the guild halls, beside the bazaar......

Even the wall opposite the Doge's Palace was secretly posted one night.

There is nothing inherently excessive about the content of this announcement, and the content is just a recruitment of craftsmen.

It's just that the number and conditions of this recruitment have caused a sensation in Mulan City!

100 carpenters, 100 blacksmiths, 500 builders.

Originally, although Mulan City was the capital of Nulin Province, there were more craftsmen than other regions, but after such a large-scale collection, I was afraid that more than half of the craftsmen in Mulan City would be collected at once.

In addition, there are a number of laborers recruited in this notice, and the remuneration of the laborers is also extremely attractive, indicating that there is a subsidy of ten copper plates per day, so that you can get three hundred copper plates every month!

You must know that in Mulan City, the original monthly income of a laborer is only more than 100 copper plates, which is equivalent to doubling the price.

Although he was asked to leave Mulan City to work in the north, it seemed from the notice that the place he was going to was not too far away, and it was still in Nulin Province after all.

Those who rely on hard work to eat every day, where do they not earn money to fill their stomachs? What are you afraid of if you are far away? If you work for one year, you can work hard for two years, so why not?

These people are not afraid of being put into the dangerous work of mining - miners have always been extremely dangerous, mining in the mountains, it is all about fighting for their lives, if it is not for the poor who have no way out, no one is afraid that no one will want to do it with more money - but fortunately, it is clear that this notice is written in the province of Nurin.

Everyone knows that in the territory of Nulin Province. Where there are any mines, there are only a few small loess slopes in the north, not to mention what minerals are, even if they dig for three or five years, they can only dig out a pile of loess.

Thinking that this group of people recruited carpenters, blacksmiths, and construction craftsmen, the news spread, and the people in Mulan City were basically certain that most of this group was going to build a walled city somewhere in the north.

The most important thing is that the number of these coolie laborers recruited on this notice is not specified, and who knows how many people will recruit?

......

There are a total of four recruitment points set up inside and outside Mulan City. Artisans are recruited in the city. Recruiting laborers outside the city.

These days. There was a steady stream of people who came to apply, and one of the places in the city where craftsmen were recruited was fine. Instead, the place outside the city to recruit laborers was set up in the market outside the west city, and there were still people watching for the first day or two. But from the third day onwards, it became crowded, and the long stream of people almost crowded the small market.

In just one Mulan City, the number of people who do hard labor is also limited, and in three or five days, nearly 1,000 people were recruited, and almost all the people who did hard labor in Mulan City were recruited, and the result of direct guidance was in the market outside Mulan City. Carriages and horses are moving, and even the manpower to hire porters is in short supply.

But Chen Daolin's group still doesn't seem to be satisfied, and the momentum of recruitment obviously has no intention of stopping.

After a few more days, even the people in several small towns around Mulan City got the news. There was a large number of strong laborers from outside who came to apply.

This time, the impact is different.

Chen Daolin and these people recruited all the laborers, and many businesses in Mulan City were obviously affected, and some people couldn't help but come forward to do some small tricks.

However, Chen Daolin's bid was high, and these people had no choice but to recommend one or two people to deliver a message to the governor's palace in the city.

But the officials in the governor's palace in the city were all connected by Chen Daolin with gold coins, and they were obviously unwilling to get involved in this matter.

has been making trouble for more than half a month, and the number of strong laborers recruited by Chen Daolin in the end has reached nearly 5,000!

Most of them have heard the news of the good pay, and have come from other places in the past few days.

At this moment, the governor's palace can't sit still!

Even though Governor Fiolo had received Chen Daolin's money, the current development of events, a large number of laborers from the small towns in the countryside were flooded in Mulan City.

There were almost tens of thousands of people who came to the inquiry, and the criteria for selecting laborers by Chen Daolin and others were very strict, and those who were not strong enough, too weak or too old were all dismissed.

As a result, there is a large number of immigrants in the city. These people stayed in Mulan City, always had to eat and sleep, and they made a miasma in Mulan City, and in a few days, more than a dozen public security incidents occurred.

More importantly, when Governor Fiolo heard that many of the strong laborers who had come to apply for the recruitment were farmers in the villages, and when he heard that there was a good pay, he was so moved that he did not even plant the land—anyway, in this part of the northwest, he could barely fill his stomach by plowing the soil for a year without much harvest.

This is equivalent to a large number of farmers from the countryside running away.

Now is the spring ploughing season every year, if a large number of farmers run out to work, so that the land is wasted, at the end of the year affects the grain production, so that the agricultural tax is greatly reduced, this is the governor of the government is not effective, how can he not care?

Finally, one night, a minor official from the governor's palace came to the hotel where Chen Daolin and others were staying, and the person in charge of Chen Daolin's appearance here was the Baron Pierre, and this official expressed the governor's concerns to Baron Pierre in cryptic words, and only after getting some kind of promise from Baron Pierre did he leave satisfied.

"It seems that people have put up with us to the limit. ”

In his room, Chen Daolin smiled after listening to Baron Pierre's conversation with the officials of the Governor's Palace tonight: "Okay, it's not good if things are too big. Even if we go to the north, we will still be under the jurisdiction of the province of Nulin, and we will have to deal with this governor in the future, and it will not be easy to offend him. Anyway, we've almost recruited the manpower we needed for the first phase......"

After a pause, Chen Daolin glanced at Baron Pierre: "The matter of receiving the land ......"

Although they stayed in Mulan City for many days, the large wasteland purchased from the Doge's Palace had already been received by Boromir, the son of Baron Pierre.

When the baron heard Chen Daolin's question, he immediately said, "Bolomir sent someone back last night. Said that the things received over there were very smooth. The governor's palace sent officials to accompany him, and the local towns did not stop them. The contract and all the paperwork procedures have been secured, and the land has been demarcated. ”

"Okay, then get ready, we'll leave in three days!"

......

Three days later, Chen Daolin set off from Mulan City with a large group of people.

The accompanying team was accompanied by hundreds of wagons, loaded with all kinds of goods.

In addition, Chen Daolin was the stronghold of a mercenary guild in Mulan City, and hired two hundred mercenaries to accompany him. The task of these two hundred mercenaries is to ensure the safety of the team and goods along the way, in addition to maintaining order with so many people, in case anything goes wrong.

And this time. Chen Daolin's departure. But it didn't make the governor of Fiolo in Mulan City easy. The governor was sending someone to find out the situation of Chen Daolin's team, but he was stunned!

The Governor's first thought was: Deceived by this guy!!

It turned out that although Chen Daolin had recruited five or six thousand people in Mulan City for more than half a month, when he left, the number of people in his team was far more than five or six thousand! According to the description of the person who came back to report. The team that Chen Daolin pulled away from Mulan City had at least tens of thousands of people!!

In addition to the five or six thousand recruited artisan laborers, half of the team was actually women and children!

This shocked Governor Fiolo!

As a province in the northwest region, Nulin Province was originally vast and sparsely populated, and although the capital Mulan City was the largest city in Nulin Province, the population was only 100,000.

This time, let Chen Daolin pull away a tenth of the city's population?!

The base of the population determines factors such as tax revenues, the vitality of the city, and the reserve of labor. This time is equivalent to letting Chen Daolin's gang suck one-tenth of the blood from Mulan City!

How does this make Governor Fiolo sit still?!

After listening to the careful reports of his subordinates, the truth surfaced.

It turned out that Chen Daolin and the others had deliberately released the news that they were going to the northern casting city to settle in the Mulan City these days. In addition to the need for craftsman labor, such a large project, the construction period must last for a long time, so in addition to the labor of workmanship, there is always a need for some other manpower.

For example, washing laundry, cooking, ensuring logistics, etc., for a large number of laborers, it always needs to be done by people, so you can't let Chen Daolin and other masters do it themselves, right?

In this way, this gap always needs to be topped by someone. Laundry and cooking are jobs that do not require strong labor to do, and some women are enough to do it.

Moreover, Chen Daolin and others also deliberately let out the wind that after they built the early walled city in the north, they would also open a textile factory, which also needed some laborers, and female laborers were also acceptable.

In this way, the news spread among the recruited laborers, and a small half of the laborers, after thinking about it, simply dragged their families and joined the team going north!

Five or six thousand strong laborers, plus half of them brought their wives and children with them, and the number of this team suddenly exceeded 10,000!

Governor Fiolo sat in the governor's palace and looked at several deputy officials beside him, dumbfounded. Everyone looked at each other for a while, and Governor Fiolo's face was a little worried, and he frowned and said, "You say, these foreign guys won't cause any trouble, right?"

One of the officials thought about it and comforted him: "My lord, I can't think about it." Although these people are foreigners, they all speak with an imperial capital accent, and their speech and demeanor are very decent, not like some kind of villain. ”

"Yes...... Pulling tens of thousands of people to migrate...... This matter cannot be taken lightly! What if something goes wrong...... an official was also a little frightened, and couldn't help but say: "Why don't you mobilize the patrol team in the city and stop them back while they haven't gone far yet?"

Before Fiolo could speak, the official who had just spoken out to comfort him changed his face and retorted coldly: "Nonsense! The team of tens of thousands of people set off in a huge way, how complicated the situation is! Moreover, those guys have hired a large number of mercenaries to protect them along the way." If we hastily send troops to intercept ...... Besides, how many cavalry are there in Mulan City? The cavalry patrolling the city is only 200 cavalry! If we send them to intercept them, what reason will we have? If they take the legal documents issued by us, and if they refuse to return, what should the cavalry sent to do? Forcibly arrest them by force? 200 people arrest 10,000 people? In case of poor communication, it will cause civil unrest...... It's going to cause trouble!"

This official repeatedly spoke for Chen Daolin and others. It's not that he's really kind, but he has already taken enough golden tickets and red envelopes from Ade behind his back.

When Fiolo heard this, his face hesitated, and he couldn't help but say, "But these people have taken away tens of thousands of people...... If they go to the north, they can't be guilty of rebellion, right?"

The official laughed and comforted: "Don't worry, Your Excellency, although the land bought by this group is a little remote, it is still the territory of our Nulin Province. Moreover, the left side of the place was close to the border of the Tulip family's territory, and the north side was not far from the military defense line of the imperial border, if they dared to do anything bad. We have a piece of paper. You can bring in elite troops from the tulip private army stationed on the border to extinguish it! If you dare to do anything rebellious there, you will definitely have a bad brain. It's impossible!"

When Fiolo heard this, he thought about it in his heart, and it was indeed the truth. I gradually settled down.

Anyway, in this matter, I took a lot of benefits, and I made up for my own private pockets. And as long as these outsiders take away a large number of people, don't they go to gather people to rebel and do other things, and he, the governor who throws his hands, doesn't bother to care.

As for the labor in Mulan City being taken away so much, the chambers of commerce in the city complained, and the Governor didn't bother to take care of it.

......

The team of tens of thousands of people is dragging families and children with children. Naturally, it's very confusing.

Chen Daolin handed over the power to command these laborers to Montoya, and even the two hundred mercenaries hired by Montoya were also handed over to Montoya to command.

Montoya organized the laborers into more than twenty teams, and then broke up the mercenaries and mixed them into each team, and then reluctantly pulled the team up.

But even so, these laborers who drag their children and daughters with their families. There are also a lot of things to carry with them, and many people are like moving, carrying baggage, bedding, pots and pans, pulling their own taxis, and some valuable belongings, all of which are brought on the road.

Moreover, the contingent of tens of thousands of people, unlike the disciplined group of the army, spread out on the main road in the field, and suddenly stretched for several miles...... This was just a short time away, and it was the result of Montoya's efforts with the hired mercenaries to drive it away.

It is conceivable that such a team, if it goes for a few days, it is not strange that the team will stretch out for seven or eight miles!

From a distance, on the road on the outskirts of Mulan City, this mighty team is like a brigade of displaced people fleeing!

Chen Daolin and others naturally rode horses and cars, but these tens of thousands of ordinary people, where can they have carriages to sit on, and they can only rely on their own feet to measure the land along the way.

Although Chen Daolin's reward was higher, after a day of walking, some people in the team couldn't help but complain, tired and ruthless, and there was a faint feeling of regret in his heart.

Even Chen Daolin knew that there were a small number of people in the team, and within half a day of coming out, seeing that the journey was too hard, some people quietly broke away from the team, walked back, and returned to Mulan City.

Chen Daolin had slowed down the speed of his journey as much as possible, left Mulan City in the morning, walked for a day, and in the afternoon, calculated the distance, and only walked out of twenty miles.

Montoya, who was responsible for maintaining order along the way, was already tired and sweating. The Holy Knight couldn't help but run to Chen Daolin's side and complained: "My lord, today is only the first day of departure, everyone's spirit is the most sufficient, and they have only walked such a little way, and ...... In my experience, the speed of long-distance travel is only getting slower and slower, and according to this trend, we will rush to our own territory, and we are afraid that it will take a month!"

Chen Daolin stopped on the side of the road, stood on a small slope, condescendingly looked at the mighty and loose team on the road, like a long dragon, but his face was very relaxed: "What are you afraid of if you go slowly? What are you afraid of if you drag on for a long time? The longer the time, the more room we have to make a fuss." I was just about to rush on this road, and I had a good time gathering the hearts of these people. If you go fast, I'm not happy!"

"Huh?"

Looking at the incomprehensible eyes of the holy knight, Chen Daolin smiled faintly: "These people have migrated out with their families and relied on their own belongings, how much ration can they carry? These people are on their backs. How much food can we bring out? After a few days, when we have eaten up all the food we have brought with us, will we have to rely on us with all our hearts? When the time comes, we will slowly gather people's hearts, and by the time we reach our destination, these people will naturally develop the habit of obeying our orders. ”

Chen Daolin had already made a comprehensive plan, and most of the goods loaded on the hundreds of wagons in the team were carrying grain.

He looked at the sky and counted the time. It's about four o'clock in the afternoon. It was still early in the morning.

Chen Daolin called a few guides hired by the team. After asking for some information, I looked at the map again, looked up at the distance of the road, and simply pointed to the small hill in front of the road. He ordered Montoya: "Go down, and stop and rest today when you go to that hill!" I asked the guide, there is a stream beside the hillside, and this season is just past the dry season, and there is a source of water just enough to camp and rest. When we got there, we camped on the hillside, and you had the rest of the teams camp around the hillside. ”

Montoya nodded, and rode away. Summoned the mercenaries and conveyed the orders one by one.

Fortunately, in the team he formed, several experienced mercenaries were added to each team as team leaders, and with these mercenaries who were used to trekking outside all year round, the order was well executed.

But even so. The team of tens of thousands of people, in the final analysis, are also ordinary people.

The line marched loosely, and it was not until it was dark that the last wave finally reached the bottom of the hillside.

......

That night, a procession of tens of thousands of people camped under this small hillside.

The hillside is actually a small dirt slope, there is no vegetation on it, and the highest point is only ten meters above the ground. Chen Daolin camped on the hillside with his own people and built a bonfire. Naturally, a seriously wounded man like Martin stayed in the carriage to rest.

Montoya, on the other hand, led a group of mercenaries and rode around the camp a few times, picked a few places, built a few bonfires at the edge of the camp, and sent mercenaries to guard them.

After all, this is the wild, and there are many wolves in the northwest wild, so choose a few places outside the camp to build a few bonfires, so you don't have to worry about wild beasts attacking at night.

Most of the ordinary people who accompany the team are not blessed to enjoy the fire. After all, there are so many people, if they all want to make a fire, I am afraid that the firewood they need will not be enough.

Fortunately, there is a stream at the foot of this hillside, although it is not wide and the water potential is not large, but with a clean water source, people take water for drinking, and replenish a lot of fresh water.

Chen Daolin naturally wouldn't drink this kind of water, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that people in the wild would not allow it, he would have liked to order all the people in the team to be forced not to drink raw water. After all, with a large team of so many people, if drinking raw water causes some disease, it will be a big problem.

Unfortunately, this place is very desolate in the wilderness, and if you want to make a fire, you can't even get enough firewood, so in order to prevent the limited number of bonfires of wild beasts, I want to provide hot water for 10,000 people...... Thinking about it, it's better to shake your head quickly.

Everyone walked for a day, although the distance was not far, but there were many people with their families, a lot of bags carried, as well as dry food and other belongings they carried, and they were naturally exhausted after a day's journey.

When it was dark, the camp was full of noisy noises, calling children and daughters, and it was bustling.

And at this time, suddenly, in the center of the campsite, on the hillside where Chen Daolin and the others were camping, the most blazing bonfire suddenly burst into flames!

On this big night, most of the camp was dark, and the hillside was located in the center of the camp, and it was high, and it was the most clear to see, and the flames rushed into the sky, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Fortunately, Montoya took those mercenaries around to maintain order, otherwise this sudden attack would have caused some fright.

The flame was bitter and attracted more and more people's attention, and for a while, even the noisy noise was weakened.

I saw the flames burst up, one, two......

After more than a dozen flames soared into the sky, they gradually subsided.

While everyone was in doubt, all of a sudden, a voice came from the hillside.

Chen Daolin's steady voice was full of energy, and he used a sound amplification magic to spread the sound throughout the camp:

"Don't worry, everyone, this is our religious people's evening prayer, don't panic!"

After saying this three times, it seemed that there was a kind of majesty in this voice, and for a while, the whole camp fell silent, and occasionally a child of someone shouted, and immediately the adult covered his mouth.

Soon, on the hillside, it could be faintly seen that Chen Daolin and several others were standing in a circle around the fire.

Led by Chen Daolin, Barossa, Xia Xia, and the people of the Baron's family, Montoya, all wore a snow-white robe.

The style of this robe is very wide, and from a distance, it is particularly eye-catching next to the fire.

A long moan was heard, and then a strange voice was heard......

A female voice full of magnetism begins to sing!

The singing voice sounded to the standards of the Roland people, and it was really full of strange flavors, and the singing voice was long and tortuous, but it had a certain flavor that seemed to be awe-inspiring and sacred in the dark.

The singing voice is high and low, long and short, and everyone can't understand every word and word sung, but in this song, it is full of a flavor that people can't describe in words.

Seems...... Is that officially a strong religious atmosphere?
