Lord of Riding and Slashing
Chapter 65: Entering the Village Quietly
"Lord Nord, since I have chosen to serve you, I will not stand still. I can understand just looking for information about the Christen family, but I really don't understand recruiting people in Christenburg. You can follow up Shall I talk?"
Love really doesn't understand, because this era has no concept of human resources, nor does it understand how important population is to a territory, just like when you don't feel something when you are around, once you lose it, you will regret it .
Nord also planned in the same way. When Viscount Ollie Collison was not paying attention, he quietly stole all his population resources. When the plan was exposed, Tammy Village might have the strength to fight him at that time.
"Actually, your main task is to arrive at Christenburg as usual, sneak into the shacks, and bring those civilians who can't survive to Tammy Village. Try not to attract the attention of Viscount Orly. Things, you just do your best to find out some information on the bright side, and you must pay attention not to attract the attention of Viscount Ollie."
After Nord's explanation, Love suddenly realized, and what he blurted out made Nord smile bitterly.
"Isn't this a human trafficker?"
Nord looked at Love with a half-smile, until he slowly realized that he had said something wrong, and his expression was a little uneasy.
"That's right, you can understand it in this way. In such a simple way, you should understand what work to do next."
In fact, the profession of human traffickers has disappeared for a long time in Northen Continent. As mentioned earlier, when the Arisin Empire unified the mainland, slavery has been swept into the dust of history. The profession of human traffickers has basically disappeared. It's just that there are still bloody legends about this profession circulating in the world.
There was a wry smile on Love's face. He didn't expect that the first task that Mr. Nord arranged for him would be such a thing. For a while, he couldn't react in his heart. Christenburg spied on intelligence, and he didn't want to do the job.
"Master Nord, I... don't know why you want me to bring these innocent civilians."
Nord saw the reluctance in Love's heart, but instead of advising him first, he asked him a question.
"Let me ask you a question first. Do you know how many people died in the shanty town of Christenburg during the two frost seasons every year?"
Hearing Nord's rhetorical question, Love's face was a bit ugly, because Nord's question brought back bad memories in his heart. Over the years, he also spent two frost seasons in Christenburg, but the scene at that time, Looking back now, Luo Fu felt a little shuddering.
Christenburg is different from Twin City. Twin City is the largest town in the northern part of Bethel Duchy, and the Marquis of Twine is also one of the five major marquises of Bethel Duchy.
Moreover, the Marquis of Tewen of this generation is an upright and wise nobleman, who has a high prestige in the northern part of the Principality of Besse. It is also not enough to fill the stomach, but there has not been a large number of civilians starving to death.
But it is not necessarily the case in the remote Christenburg. The Marquis of Twen can't pay attention to this place, so Viscount Ollie is a little unscrupulous. Not only monopolized the grain business, but also raised the price of grain. The civilians also ignored it. It is said that at least hundreds of people die of hunger and cold every year.
Love couldn't bear to think back to the scene at that time. It was a purgatory on earth. Not only was the weather cold, but even people's hearts were cold. The air was full of despair, so those civilians became numb, because they didn't know when they would die.
"Lord Nord, hundreds of people die every year in the shanty town of Christenburg, they are already very pitiful..."
Love's tone became lower and lower. He really sympathized with those civilians, but he was powerless and couldn't do anything for them, but he didn't want to hurt them for his own future.
"We are saving them. Now Tammy Village is in urgent need of a large number of manpower, and we are not short of food, so you have saved them by sending them here, otherwise they will inevitably die if they stay in the shack."
Love couldn't believe it.
"You said there was no shortage of food? But didn't you buy food in Christenburg before? Why is there no shortage of food now? If I bring them here, if there is not enough food, my conscience will not be able to bear it."
It's not that Love doesn't trust Nord, and this matter is a bit of a fantasy. The Principality of Besse has always been a country with very low grain production, and the grain is mainly imported from the outside world, so there are varying degrees of food shortages across the country , Food prices have remained high, and this is where Love questioned, not because Love suspected that Nord had deliberately deceived him.
"I found a lot of grain in the forest, and the yield is huge. I have arranged for people to plant some. I believe that there will be no food problems in Tammi Village in the future. If you don't believe me, you can ask the villagers, they all know. "
The skeptical look on Love's face has not faded away, but it is covered with surprises. Everyone knows that things cannot be faked. If he can really help those suffering civilians, Love will be very happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Since I told you so, I can prepare."
Nord thought for a while, and still wanted to tell Love. Nord would rather that Love could move slowly, and try not to attract Viscount Ollie's attention.
"Don't be in a hurry, this plan can't be rushed. There is a saying in my hometown that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry (Nord suddenly became a little dazed in the middle of speaking, because Nord didn't know how to explain to him what is tofu...), Don't act rashly, take the lead in contacting those civilians who can't survive, and send them to Tammy Village in batches. This kind of action is relatively small, and the rest, um... you should stay in Tammy Village for the next two days, At that time, we will discuss the details and the rest of the matter.”
Love heard Nord repeatedly told him to be careful, and he became more cautious. Now he also understands that if Viscount Ollie really finds out what he has done, I am afraid not only himself, but even Tammy Village. will fall into crisis, which is what Love does not want to see.
But since Mr. Nord is so cautious, and I think he is confident, then I just follow his arrangement. Besides, it’s better to stay in Tammy Village, just to see the changes in Tammy Village these days. Very curious.
Nord looked at Love who was meditating, and he was still very happy. Not only did he solve a difficult problem today, but he also gained a rare talent.
