Noble Emblem
495 Population is a big problem
Just when Amanda left Waking City and went to Harvey City to find a way to attract residents to Waking City, Beta waited for an unexpected guest, Emma.
She brought the refugees and beggars in her territory. She was not supposed to do this originally, but for some special reason, she personally led the team and escorted these people to Waking City.
Before coming to the wetland, Emma's impression of this place was still three months ago. When she arrived, she naturally received a great visual impact.
After visiting a circle of wetlands, Emma went directly to Beta, her pretty little body swaying a little with excitement: "This is too awesome, no, I want a room in the city lord's palace that will belong to me forever, and , I want to be an official here, tax officer, sheriff, head maid, anything!"
Looking at the excited Emma, Beta smiled bitterly and said: "There is no problem in giving you a room, but forget about the official position. You are the princess of Hollevin, the saint of the Temple of Storms, and you have your own territory. Come to me. You want a small position and are not afraid of being laughed at by other nobles? "
Emma put her hands on her hips: "What I want to do is none of their business. They can laugh if they want, and I don't care. I don't care about anyone else. I just want to ask you, will you give me this small position or not?"
Beta was helpless. Women who initiated petty tempers had no rationality at all. They wanted one thing, just one thing. If it's a stranger he doesn't know, Beta will naturally ignore it and even chase them away. But Emma is a friend he values so this method naturally cannot be applied.
"Okay, what position do you want?"
Emma narrowed her eyes and smiled evilly like a female fox: "If it's the best, of course it's the tax collector."
"Sorry, I've already decided on that position."
Shirley walked over from the side, her smile was a little false, of course not the kind of falseness to deal with outsiders, but the kind of proud smile when her own little plan succeeded.
In this world, there is also a term similar to "housekeeper", but the name is different. Anyway, women in this world generally believe that if they can help a man with his accounts, it proves that she has a unique status in the mind of the man.
When Emma saw Shirley, she asked angrily: "Can't you just let me go?"
"Some things can be done, and some things can't be done!" Shirley smiled, looking like a winner.
Seeing the two women quarreling, Beta said: "You can figure it out yourself" and left.
Emma brought nearly a thousand refugees and beggars, and these people needed to be registered, so this in itself was no small task.
The person responsible for this job is Harris. Now that Waking City has a small population and even fewer literate people, Harris naturally becomes the household registration officer. After all, Beta, the city lord, cannot do these things.
Although the homeless people and beggars in front of Harris all stank to the sky, he did not have any discrimination, because he knew very well that as long as they were registered, these people were citizens of Watkin City and were no longer lowly citizens. .
Seeing that Harris was working seriously, Beta didn't bother him and turned around to find Lloyd. Lloyd serves as a peace officer and patrols the city from time to time with a group of thirty strong York tribesmen.
The current city of Woking is very empty. Except for the gathering place of the York tribe, there are not many people at all. Moreover, the York tribe is also very obedient and rarely makes trouble. Logically speaking, they do not need to patrol at all.
But Lloyd still patrolled very seriously, worked cautiously, and never fooled around.
Only those who have been slaves know how important it is to have a normal identity. Lloyd knew very well who gave him the gift of becoming a 'normal' person. Everyone in the York tribe knew it. Therefore, they were very serious about their work, so serious that even Beta felt that it was a little too much.
When Beta appeared in front of Lloyd, the latter saluted respectfully. His serious and respectful expression showed that he had regarded Beta as his elder.
"I plan to build a school here." Beta showed Lloyd a map of Woking City and pointed to the location behind the temple: "I will send out recruitment to the York tribe with suitable remuneration and organize a construction team. This is up to you. Come take charge.”
"I am happy to serve you, my master." Lloyd looked at the map, and then said: "As for the reward, let's forget it."
Beta patted Lloyd on the shoulder: "You are no longer slaves now, and you have to adapt to your new status. Anyone who asks you to work will have to pay hard money, including me, the city lord."
Lloyd was very moved, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.
"I need you to select a dozen smarter children from the York tribe." Beta continued: "Shirley and I will personally teach them writing and other skills that I know. In the future, there will be many vacancies in Waking City. , the temple also needs a large number of priests, and when they grow up, they should be able to be competent. "
Lloyd was stunned. He was so stunned by the news that he opened his mouth and didn't even notice.
Beta turned and left. He had no time to wait for Lloyd to wake up. But not long after he walked away, a man could be heard crying excitedly from behind.
After listening to Beta's words, Lloyd knew very well that the York tribe had truly established a foothold in Waking City. They will no longer be sold back and forth by others, nor will they experience those miserable days of despair and despair.
In Waking City in spring, the air is very fresh because of the abundant water. When Beta returned to the city lord's mansion, she found Shirley riding her magical pet Bayou Crocodile and carrying Emma, and the two were getting ready to go out for fun.
Behind them, there were seven small estuarine crocodiles. These little things were less than one meter long, which was far different from their mother's length of more than ten meters.
Beta did not expect that the two men would reconcile again in such a short period of time. So he felt that he couldn't understand a woman's brain circuit. Sometimes the fight was fierce, and sometimes it was as good as a handkerchief.
Now that there are more than a thousand people in Waking City, the basic functions of a city can start to operate, such as infrastructure construction, and at least some people can be assigned to work.
Of course, for a truly prosperous city, this number of people is not enough. It must continue to attract and move in the population.
Beta originally wanted to go to other cities, talk to other city lords, and introduce some refugees or beggars to them, but to his surprise, a special guest came today, the Winter Wolf Saint.
Her reason for coming is very simple, she hopes Beta can take in the Frostwolf clan!
