Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Harvey led a team of guards to the city hall of the territory for the first time, sat in the independent office where Reiner originally worked, and summoned Haru, the director of the construction department.

Since the territory army went to Jackdaw Town to build a refugee shelter, civilians sent from the south of Jackdaw Ridge have arrived in the pioneer territory in an endless stream every day. In order to prevent these people who have just recovered from the plague from spreading the plague to local residents, Harvey arranged them all in the area outside the eastern section of the city wall, where a dense area of ​​​​sheds was temporarily built for these newly joined residents to temporarily live.

The temporary shed area is close to the city wall and can be fully cared for by the defense forces stationed on the city wall for a long time. There are also soldiers patrolling outside the wall day and night, so there is no need to worry about them being harassed by wild animals.

However, the number of this group of refugees exceeds 4,000. If the subsequent means of controlling the plague by the Federation are not timely enough, Harvey predicts that the number of refugees pouring into the border will continue to increase, and it is likely to exceed 5,000 people, accounting for half of the local population of the pioneer territory.

Providing food and clean drinking water to these refugees is not a big problem. Since last winter, the pioneer territory has not had a food crisis, and rarely purchases food supplies from the southern border through the Dragonstone Chamber of Commerce. At the end of summer, Reiner even applied to Harvey whether to grind up a large amount of old wheat in the storage area as livestock rations to free up new storage space for this year's autumn harvest.

The most important thing at the moment is actually the housing problem of these new residents. It is already early autumn. The north is not as warm and humid as the south. The God Ridge Mountains separate the temperature difference between day and night. At present, the refugees can barely make do with living in huts. At least they can keep out the rain and wind. The sudden cold temperature can also prevent them from being bitten by mosquitoes and other common infectious diseases.

But winter is coming in two or three months. In the northern wilderness, people can freeze to death at any time. Staying in a wooden shed is no different from sleeping in the open air. Without thick fur clothing and a continuously burning fireplace for heating, most people cannot survive the long winter in the north.

In other words, Harvey must preside over the busiest autumn harvest work of the year in an orderly manner in the remaining three months of autumn before winter comes, and at the same time, he must recruit people to build solid houses for at least 5,000 people.

"Lord, we have no shortage of cement. A large amount of cement is piled up in the warehouse and can be used at any time... But, the key is that I don't have anyone under my command!" Construction Minister Haru stood upright in front of Harvey's desk, sucking hard on his slightly fat belly, and complained with a sad face.

The Ministry of Construction has always been doing tedious repair work. When there are major projects, it will post notices to temporarily recruit construction workers. When the project is completed, the salary will be settled on the spot and the staff will be dismissed.

But as the autumn harvest approaches, those people who don't have fixed jobs on weekdays have long been robbed by the generous short-term wages offered by the Ministry of Agriculture and food processing factories. It is extremely difficult for him to raise a construction team of thousands of people at this time.

"I can't care so much about this. My order is to see your construction team start work in the new residential area I drew in a week. As for whether you ask the Ministry of Agriculture for people or the Ministry of Industry for people, that's your own business... At most, you can offer a higher salary and ask your immediate boss Leonardo for some budget."

Haru frowned and his eyes immediately turned red. He muttered a few words and was about to cry, which made Harvey burst out laughing.

"Okay, okay! I was just kidding! How could there be no one? Aren't those new residents who have just been pulled to the temporary shantytown your ready-made labor force? I heard that most of those who can survive and escape to the border are young and strong. Can't you recruit them directly? This way, you can immediately find them a three-month job and provide them with a good salary guarantee, laying the foundation for them to gain a foothold in the territory in the future..."

Haru rushed out of the office happily with the new residential area planning drawings in his hand, leaving Harvey alone in the office, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

...

Before he could take a sip of tea to relax for a while, Yurio, the superintendent of the Territory Police Department, walked in wearing a neat gray uniform.

"Sir, in the shantytown where the refugees live, there have been several robbery and fights in just the past two days." Yurio reported with a serious face, "and when the relief food was distributed this afternoon, some people openly clashed with the police officers who were maintaining order on the scene because of queue jumping and food quantity issues..."

"What? They have only been here for two or three days, and they have started to make such troubles?" Harvey frowned and said with a little dissatisfaction.

Compared with the simple and honest nature of the refugees in the wilderness, the people in the southern border are indeed more cunning and calculating in their hearts.

Now that the local residents and the new refugees have not been allowed to live together, they have begun to frequently bully the weak. When they really move into the territory, it is unknown how many conflicts will erupt.

"The police department must immediately curb this phenomenon. We must not let them band together, or it will be even more difficult to deal with them! Let the defense forces get involved and cooperate with you to maintain law and order in the shantytowns. Arrest all the thugs who are fighting and causing trouble, and try and punish them in front of the new citizens. You can hang them up and whip them, or handcuff them and parade them through the streets. In short, I want to see that the order in the shantytowns is exactly the same as in the territory within this month!"

"I understand! Lord Lord, those who stand up and take the lead in causing trouble..."

Harvey glanced at Yurio and said lightly, "Just kill the chicken to warn the monkey, don't know me alone."

Nympho

After the work report was completed, Yurio still stood there without leaving, waiting quietly for Harvey to continue reading the official documents.

"Huh? Why are you still here? Do you want to wait for me to get off work and go to the castle to have a supper?" Harvey raised his head and teased.

Yurio said shyly, "Sir, there is another thing that needs to be asked for your consent and approval..."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

He raised his hand from his waist to remove the metal baton specially distributed to police officers for daily patrols and arresting criminals, and said, "My police officers are secretly talking about the weapons distributed to the police department. It's too deterrent... It's quite effective to deal with drunken residents in the territory on weekdays, but when faced with refugees from the southern border, unless they really hit the head with a hard stick, they would still be It’s better to wield the sword and the blade to make them afraid.”

When the relief food was distributed in the shanty area today, those guys who took the lead in gathering to cause trouble completely ignored the iron sticks in the police officers and directly surrounded several police officers due to the large number of people. If it weren't for the city wall The defense army arrived in time and fired a shot and directly smashed the leader's knee. I'm afraid the situation at the scene would be out of control.

Harvey smiled and said, "What? Do you want to change the standard weapon and use a more lethal sword?"

Yurio straightened his chest and said straightforwardly: "No, sir, I want to apply for a uniform distribution of magic guns to the Police Department!"
