Chapter 108: Hope
"Fish, is there really meat to eat?" Karn said in surprise.
"Of course it's true. The caravan guard smiled and said, "Alright, we're going to the market, see you soon." With that, he patted Karn on the shoulder and left.
There is a unified settlement for the homeless in the caravan, and there is a special shelter for the homeless outside the town, where all the homeless who come to the territory need to assemble first.
"Kevin, don't run around, follow me. Karn said to the boy behind him, and then led Kevin in one hand and a young woman in the other towards the containment site, where there were more than a dozen members of the vigilante team to maintain order, these homeless people were curious about Fort Zhenbei, and in their opinion, it was too clean.
The gravel roads were spotlessly cleaned, the air was not foul and fermented, and the people did not have the obvious stench of the people, unlike any city they had seen along the way. Even on both sides of the road, flowers and plants are planted.
"Karn, is that a bridge?" the woman asked, pointing to the elevated aqueduct not far away.
"I don't know, the bridge should be on the river, but it's too majestic. ”
The most striking building in Zhenbei Fort is this elevated aqueduct, in this era, there are very few buildings more than ten meters, let alone this building that is several kilometers long and 35 meters high, in the eyes of these displaced people, this building is simply a miracle.
Walking along the smooth gravel road, there were many people around to observe the group of homeless people who had traveled for a long time, but no one bothered them, because they also had their own jobs, and if they were caught lazy, then they would definitely have to deduct points. The points are related to their farmland and housing in the future, and they must not be sloppy in the slightest.
Karn and the others soon arrived at the camp for displaced people, and the officials of the shelter took out parchment paper to check and register all the displaced people, and when everyone was registered, they were taken to a nearby public bath to take a bath, and to their surprise, all of them were given two sets of clothes.
Although it was only rough linen, it was much better than what they were wearing.
"Listen, everybody, after you have taken a shower, you all change into new clothes, and then someone will take you to dinner, and the old clothes will be thrown here, and those who don't change will have no food!" said a staff member, standing in front of the homeless. Subsequently, all the displaced people went into the public baths in batches.
After showering and changing into new clothes, the homeless people finally looked like beggars anymore. Karn then took his wife and Kevin to dinner with the staff. The place to eat was close to here, and everyone was assigned plates and spoons and lined up to serve the meal.
Surprisingly, in addition to a serving of mashed potatoes, everyone had a fish soup, and the last time Karn had eaten meat was when he caught a rabbit a few months ago, and he didn't expect to have fish soup to drink as soon as he arrived here.
There is not much fish soup in a bowl, everyone eats it cleanly, and even the fish bones are licked without a trace of meat. After eating, the previous staff member took them to the assigned housing. Those who have a family are distributed according to the family, and those who are single are several people living in one house.
The house was newly built, not big, but clean and tidy, and the quilts had been allocated inside, and compared to the place where they lived before, this place can be said to be a paradise.
Soon guards came and told them that they could not go to those places, that they were off-limits, and that there were all the rules and laws of the territory. At the same time, the house they live in now does not belong to them, but only for them to live temporarily.
If you want to get a house to live in, you need to exchange money and points, and in addition to today's food, you must work from tomorrow to get food, and you will get points and money according to the work after working every day, and if you want to get better food, better shelter, or land here, you need to work hard.
If you have the craft then you can also report the assessment, after the assessment will be assigned to the right position, masons, blacksmiths, carpenters, winemakers, carving craftsmen, women can cook and sew clothes, etc.
The minimum daily remuneration is thirty copper nars, and the maximum is seventy copper nars, which is a little lower than that of Carthusian City, but here in the north fort of Zhenbei, he takes care of the food every day, and at least one meal is meaty, and there are also points.
Points are very important here, if you want to buy a field, you need to buy a house, you need a certain amount of points. If you don't have points, you need to spend double or even triple the price to buy them.
House, land.
After hearing these words, Karn's eyes instantly became extremely hot, as a commoner, he originally had three brothers, but only the eldest brother had the right to inherit, and could inherit a few acres of land and house from his father.
He and his younger brother had to leave home when they reached adulthood to farm and work for the nobles, and if the nobles didn't need them, they had to go to the city to find work and become a precarious outcast.
For them, nothing will attract them more than land and houses, if they can get a piece of land, then they can gain a foothold here, it takes a lot of points to exchange land and houses, ordinary people need to work hard for about three years to change a piece of farmland, or a house, of course, if it is a couple, this speed will be much faster.
Of course, if you don't want to get points bit by bit in this way to exchange for houses and farmland, you can also sign up for the army, Zhenbei Fort also has military merit calculations for soldiers, compared to points, military merit to exchange fields and houses costs much less.
As long as you participate in the slashing of a few enemies, you will get enough military merit in exchange for land and houses. At the same time, what is even more exciting is that after reaching a certain level of military merit, you can exchange for nobility from the lord.
Of course, this noble status is the lowest level of knighthood, and this title has no fief, just some convenience in the territory, and the status has been improved, in addition, there are no other benefits, but there are still many people who want to exchange for knights.
Karn shook his palm, and just today he had killed two gnolls on the battlefield, and although it was a joint effort, it also gave him the courage to join the army.
Although he had only been here for less than a day, Karn had a good impression of it, because in this city he saw something he would never see anywhere else—hope.
