Heaven’s Intention

Early the next morning, when the battleship and the caravan left again. There are already a group of young people on board the merchant ship. They are all healthy men between the ages of fifteen and thirty. Their expressions are somewhat restrained, they know each other well, and the topics they are talking about are mostly their visions for the future. Wang Jiajun felt a little strange, and after sending someone to ask, he found out that these people were all businessmen from that port town.

Since they lost their main source of livelihood, the free people in the town have started to think about going out to work, and these young and middle-aged people have migrated with some commercial firms in the town.

The treatment given to them by the merchants is not bad. Whether they are menial workers or apprentices, they are given three meals a day, and the extra salary depends on the level of the position. When they leave home, they are paid in advance. Three months' salary was handed over to their families so that they could work in the firm with peace of mind.

The businessmen in these towns originally paid more attention to those refugees. Isn't this kind of people cheaper? But those who went to listen to the wind had their noses dusted.

The people on the naval battleship sternly refused, saying that despite the large number of refugees on the battleship. They are voluntary escorts, and they dare not sell these refugees as slaves!

The people in these towns contacted the people on the merchant ship, but these colleagues also resolutely refused.

Only then did the businessmen who had a bad encounter turn their attention to the labor force in these coastal towns. Fortunately, these labor force also came from the coast of the evil disaster. If you are familiar with them, this group of businessmen will be satisfied. With a little favor, you can get a group of honest and hardworking workers, which is also a good thing.

Unlike the workers who needed to work on the merchant ships, refugees were carried on more than a dozen warships except for the first and last warships.

Refugees take families as units, and the navy sailors do not criticize or abuse them. Although the food provided for three meals a day is limited, they will not die of thirst and starvation. If they are sick, they will be taken care of. People on the verge of life and death feel the emergence of hope.

What will be waiting for them in the future?

I heard from the people on the battleship that the reason why they were rescued was to send them to a certain island to have enough population. Refugees are fearful.

Is this... is the place where we will live in the future? After another ten days, finally. A large island appeared in front of everyone, the merchant ship did not stop, but went directly to a further destination, and the warship transporting a large number of refugees docked at Treasure Island.

Looking at the beautiful big island in front of them, a kind of hope rose in the hearts of the refugees.

How many refugees have been transported this time? Romon, the Viscount Tetashaw, stood on the shore in neat attire and accompanied by his attendants, watching the scene of a large number of refugees disembarking from the boat.

Seeing a lot of refugees coming down from the ten warships one after another, Romon asked the person in charge of the transportation with some uncertainty, he always felt that there seemed to be a lot more people this time.

Master Viscount, a total of 1,125 people have been transported this time. The person in charge of this transportation saluted Romon and replied.

There are so many people at once? Before Romon could speak, a girl beside him said in surprise.

Yeah, why are there more this time? Seeing Princess Qiannia looking at those refugees, Romon also wanted to know the reason.

My lord, since there is a merchant ship accompanying us, the space is larger. There are more than a thousand people in the same town. When we rushed there, we just saved them from the attack of the little devil... so we brought them back together. ’” said the principal in reply.

under these circumstances. Naturally, Luo Meng could only nod in agreement, but he was secretly thinking that there were too many people transported this time, and it would take a lot of work just to build villages and houses, not to mention the problem of food.

Lu Xiupei, has the person who delivered the letter to the Earl come back? He was busy all the time, and it was not until the refugees had temporarily settled in the temporary huts that Romon found Lu Xiupei and asked about the people on the other side of Lantu Island. movement.

According to the previous agreement, half of the refugees transported back by warships will be escorted. Every time they are transported, they will be unloaded on Treasure Island first, and His Royal Highness will give priority to selecting a group to go to Blue Earth Island. The prince's people did not come back for a long time, and Romon had some ominous premonition in his heart.

Half an hour later, an attendant knelt down in front of Romon, and told him His Royal Highness's reaction and reply: ...the Earl said that there is no more food in his territory, I hope you will To be able to lend him fifty tons of food for these five hundred refugees...

Hehe, what a shameless sentence. Luo Meng was quite annoyed in his heart, thinking that this person is too shameless, it's fine to divide you five hundred refugees, and even give you a batch of food for free, use my food instead You raise people, what do you think?

You go back again, just say... Romon thought for a while. I felt that it was necessary to write a letter to take over, so I asked the attendant to wait for a while, picked up the pen, took out a piece of paper, brushed it for a while, and wrote a sincere letter.

The content of the letter was very similar to what the prince said, but it was written more earnestly. In the letter, Romon said that he had just accepted 600 refugees a few months ago, winter had just passed, and the autumn harvest season was not yet in sight. He was powerless to deal with the prince's plight, and his own food was barely enough.

In the reply letter, Romonti didn't mention the distribution to the prince's refugees. After receiving the letter from Romon, the prince shook his head and smiled wryly. When only his confidantes were left, he couldn't help but sigh and said: This Viscount Tetashaw is really not a disadvantaged person.

He had no choice but to write back, saying: In this case, you will accept all these people.

this time. Romon replied: Although there is not much food, if the other people in the territory are a little tighter, they can squeeze out the rations of this group of people.

Therefore, all these thousands of refugees were accepted by Romon.

So, this matter was concluded in this way.

It has to be said that Romon's food is also very tight now.

The batch of grain in Shennongjiao will be harvested in ten days, which is 300 tons of grain.

However, Romon couldn't suddenly appear this batch of food out of thin air, it was too conspicuous. Only every half a month, slowly infiltrate some grain, digest ten tons or twenty tons.

The next thing to be busy is naturally the resettlement of these refugees.

Since Treasure Island has accepted a thousand people in the past few months, the five built villages are already full.

Now the thousand people can only be arranged elsewhere.

Viscount Tetashaw, what are you doing? During this series of projects, Princess Qiannia had some doubts about how Romon would resettle these refugees.

In front of her, on a large open space, thousands of refugees are registering their names, genders, ages, occupations and other information on a family basis. The person in charge of these is specially dispatched by Romon from the internal affairs officer system. People, who are both patient and capable, have calmed down a part of people's hearts in the face of this group of terrified refugees.

Oh, they are in the process of registering. After all the registrations are completed, these thousand people will serve as workers. Standing on the high slope with the princess, Luo Meng looked at the scene in the field and replied softly. talking.

All as workers? Is it the same for women and children? A pair of big eyes are bright, but the princess has a lot of questions. This time, the princess has been traveling between the two islands, observing and learning the construction process.

Romon actually knew this.

Well, they are all working as workers. There is no free lunch in this world, isn't there? Romon said with a smile, seeing the princess thoughtful, so he explained: Kindness cannot be given away for free. In fact, As long as labor can be exchanged for food and clothing, it is already a benevolent government. Of course, the intensity of work depends on age and physical condition.

At this time, the last few people below had already registered, and Romon walked down.

En? Let's see how he makes a decision. Princess Qiannia thought of this and followed. Behind her, followed closely by her maid Nina.

My lord, all 1,125 people have been registered. Seeing Romon approaching, the registrar quickly stood up and bowed to Romon.

Thank you. Romon nodded.

Let's arrange for them to take a bath, change clothes and eat first. They are also tired. After a day's rest, they will start working tomorrow. As for the work, it is as arranged in advance. The men do the work, and the women and children do the laundry. , cooking and other lighter things, there must be craftsmen, blacksmiths or people who have read books among the more than a thousand people. You can summarize the registration information today and select them all. In the future, there will be them usefulness.

Yes, my lord. The interior officer had to order.

Viscount Tetashaw, how do you plan to arrange these selected people? You must have already thought about it, right? Princess Qiannia asked from the side.

Yes, princess, I plan to arrange for these craftsmen to become free citizens in my territory. Their technology can bring more benefits to my territory. I will not treat them badly. Romon Said: Of course, they don't become free people all at once. They must be awarded after completing all the projects.

It should be so. Princess Qiannia nodded in agreement.

At the same time, the port construction of Treasure Island has been improving day by day.

Just after Romon sent the princess to rest, he received a report from an official, saying that a group of businessmen came from a distant country to visit the island, and it seemed that they wanted to take root here.

Treat them well, and their reasonable demands can be met. Romon was very happy when he found out. He just planned to make Treasure Island bigger and better. Since there are businessmen who are willing to come, he naturally welcomes them.

However, he also ordered to keep an eye on it secretly so as not to confuse some lawless people.

A few days later, a few businessmen who thought it was a good place rented a house at the port and were about to open a shop. Some free citizens from the mainland also applied to enter.

All of this was going on and on, and Princess Qiannia saw it and secretly admired it. (!)
