"Ci'ao...Fortunately, I was prepared."

After Gudern cursed secretly, he immediately went to the living room to see Gergil who had given him such a big surprise after not seeing him for three days.

"Baron Gergil, you've spent a lot of money on this. There are so many people, and you're not worried that I can't bear it?"

"This quantity is also what you requested. In addition, there are many people in Snow Valley Town who are willing to come, so I will take them with me."

Facing Gudern's question, Gergill also responded easily.

"Okay, tell me, how many people did you bring this time?"

"Originally, we counted more than 1,600 people when we set out, but as we walked and stopped on the road later, many people caught up and broke away from the large group."

"However, there will be at least 1,700 people when we arrive in Qingyuan Town. If you want to calculate, just calculate it according to the standard of 1,600 people. The number of people will only be more, not less, and it will meet your standard requirements."

Gudern was speechless when he heard this, but the other party had already sent people over, and he should sell the food as agreed.

"One thousand six hundred people have reached the minimum reduction. The grain is five coppers per pound, plus a discount of five silver coins for each person. I will give you a small change, and you can give me another three hundred and sixty gold coins."

"Besides, I have prepared your food and can take it away with you."

Faced with Gudern's request, Gezier did not hesitate. He took off the money bag from his waist, took out thirty-six platinum coins, and pushed it in front of Gudern.

Looking at the silvery-white platinum coins on the table, Gudern was also very curious. It was the first time he had seen this thing.

However, the research needs to be put aside, and there is one more thing that needs to be dealt with now.

"Let's go, I'll take you to get food. Are the carriages and horses ready?"

Putting away the coins, Gudern stood up and asked.

"When you're ready, I'll ask the tax collection team to help transport it."

When he heard that the tax collection team was here to help with the transportation, Gooden's heart dropped.

He was originally worried that Gejir would organize his own carriages and horses to escort the goods, but he didn't expect that the tax collection team would come. It seemed that Kroger's efforts would also come into play.

Next to the designated granary, hundreds of vehicles and horses were carrying grain simultaneously.

This part of the food is ordinary wheat selected by Gudern, so it would not be a pity to sell it.

For example, those wheats with special entries are kept for your own consumption and use.

The loading work was completed in less than an hour, thanks to Gooden's advance preparation and the temporary transfer of a group of newly joined personnel.

With the efforts of hundreds of people, all this food was quickly loaded onto the truck.

After counting the numbers correctly, Gejir was unwilling to stay in Qingyuan Town for one more second and immediately led the team away.

There was also a Kroger on the road. When the convoy came to the road junction, Harold, who was the tax collector of Snow Valley Town, suddenly spoke.

"Baron Gergil, I have completed the task of collecting and taxing grain this year. Let's say goodbye here. The convoy that helped you transport the grain will return with you, and I will take the rest back to Jinyuan City."

The sudden separation caught Gergil off guard.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Harold, what do you mean? Are you not going back to Snow Valley Town?"

"The food collection convoy has already brought the food. Why should I go back to Snow Valley Town? Don't worry, I will truthfully record that this food came from you, not Qingyuan Town."

"No... no, that's not what I meant..." Faced with Harold's words, Gergil's mind was still a little confused at the moment.

He originally planned to give Harold some benefits after transporting this batch of grain back to Snow Valley Town, withholding half of the grain, and continued to delay the grain requisition on the grounds that his territory's granary suffered a fire.

As a result, the other party suddenly didn't play according to the routine, and his plan was completely disrupted.

"Okay, I won't waste any time on the road. Let's say goodbye."

After Harold gave Gergil a breast-stroking salute, he rode his horse slowly forward and left, while directing the convoy to continue moving forward.

Kroger, who was on the side, also gave him a slight greeting, and then joined the main force, leaving Gejir and his party in a mess in the autumn wind.

Looking at the grain requisition team going away, he looked back at the carriage and horsemen who had left one hundred tons of grain for him.

Gejir was about to cry at the moment, but when he recalled the mysterious smile Gudern gave him when he just left, all the doubts in his heart were explained at this moment.

"Gudern, I swear I will make you regret it!"

Chapter 99 Returning to Qingyuan, things have changed and people have changed

Gooden had no time to care about what happened to Gergil. At this moment, he was listening to Hobert's mission report.

They took advantage of this 'human trade' and blended in with the large army of people.

And the intelligence personnel who had previously entered the spy intelligence granary also returned together.

Of course, not all the people in Snow Valley Town were evacuated, and two people were left behind to serve as intelligence relays.

"For this mission, thanks to Roy's intelligence, not only the location of the granary was marked, but also the patrol time and number of people."

"Based on what we learned before the evacuation, it was confirmed that all the missions this time were completely burned, with no trace left behind."

"And the casualties caused are not small, causing the town of Snow Valley to panic in advance..."

Hobert's report was better than Gooden expected, and he was very satisfied.

"You have completed this mission very well. Each of the executors will be credited with a merit..."

"This is our duty!"

"In addition, the influx of new people will make the use of manpower a little tense during this period. The vacation of the personnel performing the task will not be taken for the time being, and they will work hard for a while."

"When the matter is over, we will arrange additional rest compensation for you. Now you take the rest of the people in the camp and go to old Joseph to help him maintain order and patrol the town to maintain stability."

"yes!"

Gudern currently has a total of only fifty-four people including new recruits. It is still a bit difficult to maintain the stability of thousands of people with such a number.

Fortunately, these people were told when they arrived that they would join the life and work of Qingyuan Town.

Therefore, in the face of the arrangement of the 'Lord', everyone was very obedient and lined up in several long lines to start registering information in batches.

The registration process is divided into three times. The first time is to register the most basic identity, such as name, age, family relationship, work experience, work intention, etc.

After the registration of this information is completed, the second item of information registration is entered and entered into the household registration book.

When entering the household registration information, each person will be assigned his own unique ID number, and then take this with him to the last registration.

This step is to make a metal ID card for each person for identification. After completing this step, these residents of Snow Valley Town can go to their temporary residence.

Nino looked at Qingyuan Town in the distance, his eyes full of nostalgia.

Three or four years ago, after the unexpected death of the previous lord, Baron Secht, there was unrest in the town.

In the panic situation, he had to take his family and leave the place where he had lived for more than 20 years.

But now, fate has played a trick on him. After going around in circles, he was forced to return to Qingyuan Town again.

"Next group, please don't stand there in a daze, please come up and register."

Hearing the shout from the 'counter' in front of him and his wife's gesture, Nino came to his senses and quickly brought the whole family forward to register his identity.

"Please register the information one by one, starting with the male owner. How many people are in the family? What are their names?"

Nino didn't dare to neglect the little girl in front of him who was lowering his head and taking notes, and spoke quickly.

"We are a family of three. My name is Nino."

"Three people...Nino...huh?"

Cathy, who was writing a note, seemed to remember something about the name, and suddenly looked up at Nino.

Facing the slightly familiar face in front of her, Cathy tried to speak out.

"Uncle Nino?"

"Huh?" Nino was stunned for a moment when he was called like this. Looking at the face of the little girl in front of him, he seemed familiar.

After briefly recalling it, Nino combined it with the face of a little girl three or four years ago, and asked somewhat unexpectedly.

"Are you...Cathy? Dronas's daughter?"

"Yes! It's really your Uncle Nino!"

When acquaintances met, both of them were surprised that the other one appeared here.

"It's only been a few years since I last saw you. You've grown so big, and now you can even read and write!"

"Hey, this is a school opened by the Lord. We are allowed to study for free. Aunt Leah, little Elsa, long time no see!"

Cathy also greeted people she knew warmly.

"Learning words for free?"

"Yes, Uncle Nino... Well, I have a job here. Let's chat next time. I'll register you first."

Cathy, who was about to continue saying something, suddenly noticed Old Joseph coming to inspect, and quickly changed her words and started to lower her head to register the information.

After a while, after filling in the basic information, he raised his head and asked.

"Uncle Nino, your job hasn't changed, has it?"

"No."

"Okay, then I'll write it down for you...Okay, I've filled in everything I know for you. Now I have a few questions that I have to ask again. This is the task regulation so that you can integrate into it faster. Come to the life of New Qingyuan Town."

"Just ask, we won't delay your work." Nino was very cooperative with the daughter of his old friend.

"Besides doing carpentry, Uncle Nino, have you ever thought about doing other interesting jobs? For example, farming, building houses, or joining the army, anything is possible."

"Well, I really haven't thought about this. I have never had any experience with other jobs except carpentry. If I must have it, I might be interested in working in the blacksmith shop..."

"I understand... Also, do you plan to stay for a long time when you come back this time?"

"If there are no accidents, there should be no further changes."

The registration process for Nino's family was very fast, and they were all registered in less than five minutes.

"By the way, Cathy, people like us who have returned to Qingyuan Town... can we return to our original residence?"

"This... I'm not sure, but Uncle Nino, you don't have to worry about not having a place to live. The lord has already built many new houses in advance, saying they are just for you."

new house? When Nino heard this, he couldn't help but look up in the direction of the 'old' Qingyuan Town, and then turned his gaze to the 'housing area' to the north on the right.

‘Is this where our new house will be? ’
