Chapter 139 Return of the Caravan
After seeing the data displayed by the item, Su Lun was very satisfied. This weapon was completely tailor-made for him. The power of Thunder and Su Lun's own thunder realm were superimposed, so he was even stronger. Next, he had to face the troll tribe.
What surprised Sulun was that Gene brought the caravan back. The area of the heavy snowfall two days ago was not the entire northern wasteland. At least Gene and the others did not encounter it. As for why it was too late, it was because the caravan was too large and they spent too much time to arrange the caravan.
This time the caravan spent 15,000 jinars to bring back more than 2,000 slaves. In addition to ordinary slaves, Gene also purchased more than 300 craftsman slaves with various skills this time.
So many craftsman slaves were bought by those caravans that cooperated with Zhenbeibao, otherwise they would not be able to buy them at all. There were also a large number of refugees who followed them here. After several months of publicity, Zhenbeibao has gained a lot of popularity, and many refugees who cannot survive are willing to follow the caravan to Zhenbeibao.
Because the caravan was too many this time, Gene deliberately spent a lot of Jinnar to hire more than 200 mercenaries. He did not require them to fight, but just to help them manage refugees. In the end, the size of the caravan reached 4,000.
Although there were many people brought back by the caravan, because Su Lun had already made preparations in advance, there was no big chaos in the resettlement work. All the slaves had been divided into groups, and each group had a mercenary as the group leader, and then under the leadership of the group leader, they were taken to the designated residence to rest.
Refugees are divided according to families. If there is no family, they are divided into groups and then assigned to places where refugees live.
There were four thousand people all at once. The originally spacious Zhenbei Fort immediately became crowded, and the population in Zhenbei Fort tripled. However, Sulun would not think that there were too many people. Zhenbei Fort wants to develop into Zhenbei City to have a population of at least tens of thousands. Now, it is just a large town at best.
Because of the skyrocketing population, many things need to be recalculated. For example, to divide more canteens, six canteens were divided according to their residence locations, and relevant supporting facilities also need to be prepared. As the number of people increased, Su Lun began to expand the security team. This time he planned to expand the security team to 150.
Fortunately, the infrastructure of the town is doing well. Although it is crowded, at least everyone has a house to live in, so there will be no phenomenon of sleeping on the streets.
Although the number of people brought back this time is huge, the sanitary regulations of Zhenbeibao still have to be implemented. According to the medical level of this world, the cure effect of various infectious diseases is poor. Zhenbeibao also has no medicinal materials. If an infectious disease occurs, according to the physical fitness of the slaves and free people, half of them can be protected by the gods.
Everyone was taken to the public bathroom by teams to wash, and everyone was asked to soak lime water for disinfection. The changed clothes were collected and burned together, and everyone would distribute a new set of clothes.
Although there were many requests, everyone accepted it honestly. Because when entering Zhenbei Fort, the two hideous heads hanging above the city wall told everyone that the owner here was not a good temper. Some thorny heads that were blind and wanted to cause trouble, they were directly taken out by the security army who was waiting for repair.
After cleaning up personal hygiene, someone will lead these people to the restaurant in groups for dinner. Although the whole process is busy, it is orderly.
The arrival of so many slaves and refugees brought abundant labor to Zhenbeibao. The labor began to decrease after winter, but so many people had to do nothing and provide food and heating every day, which was definitely the biggest waste for Su Yanguo plucking the hair and capitalist Lun.
Therefore, the construction plan of the territory was launched again. Of course, this will take into account weather reasons. The increase in the number of people has also led to an increase in various affairs in the territory. Sulun also began to consider forming a system of officials and using them to manage towns.
However, he has not found a suitable person to serve as the mayor of the town. As for ordinary officials and minor officials, it is easy to solve the points system that Zhenbeibao has always used. Those who are responsible for recording points every day are actually qualified officials.
After these months, they have become familiar with the things in the territory, and those who are not good at thinking and greedy have long been cleared out in these months.
As long as the system is simply improved, these officials only need to do things according to the system. As for corruption and abuse of rights, there is no need to worry about these issues. Sulun's territory is not a country with a population of hundreds of thousands, and it is just a small town with a population of several thousand people. It is not easy to make small moves without hiding Sulun. Moreover, with Chris there, they don't have this opportunity.
The population suddenly increased. Although some chaos was caused in Zhenbei Fort, it was quickly dealt with. The weather completely cleared up. Even the snow outside melted. The scouts kept sending news about the trolls, and Su Lun began to prepare for the upcoming war.
Because of the powerful regeneration ability of the trolls, it is difficult for ordinary physical attacks to kill them. Basically all adventurers know that after fighting with the troll, all the limbs of the troll need to be burned, because as long as there is enough time, even a small piece of meat can be generated again.
Of course, this regeneration ability has its limit. Regeneration will consume a lot of energy. The regeneration trolls need to be replenished as soon as possible. Moreover, only the largest piece of debris in each troll will be reborn in this way. The remaining body will turn into ashes after the troll is reborn.
It is also because of this regeneration ability that is almost immortal, which makes the troll fearless on the battlefield.
As for the situation where a troll cuts into countless slices and splits out countless trolls, it will not happen. The reproduction of trolls is also a viviparous birth, not a split reproduction. Sulun is preparing to fight with trolls, so he needs to prepare a large number of fire-driven objects.
There are many oil pine outside the territory. This plant is rich in oil and can be ignited with just a little fire. Many indigenous tribes use it to make torches. Sulun sent people to cut down a large amount of oil pine and took out a large amount of animal oil. There is no tincture oil here in Zhenbeibao. The main production of tincture oil is in the desert kingdom, so he had to use animal oil instead.
Due to insufficient oil and fat in animals, Sulun sent people to distil the rum several times to obtain high-purity alcohol, which will be used as ignition materials to deal with the upcoming trolls. It can be said that for this war, Sulun's loss of materials has been a considerable amount.
