After the orcs left, the seemingly empty and lonely prairie suddenly became noisy. However, the real indigenous people and various wild animals on the prairie, who were hunted or driven away by humans, could only flee south in terror.
go.
The first to take action were the rehabilitated veterans. Their land was not big and one person could take care of it. Even the winter in Nai'an would not freeze to death, let alone the early spring. These small landowners set up simple shacks and under the guidance of professionals
Next, the wasteland was burned, leveled, houses built, and water diverted to dig wells in an orderly manner.
The officials and nobles who bought a large amount of land at once recruited tenant farmers from provinces with many people and little land. After promising generous gifts, they marched into the prairie to establish manors and cultivate land.
But not everyone can recruit farmers. In order to cultivate these lands, Lorraine once estimated that even according to the most labor-saving rotational farming method, half a million farmers will be needed. This is a large-scale immigration that can shock the mainland.
Although it is impossible to count the number of immigrants who have poured into Nai An Province so far, it is estimated that there are around 100,000 people.
These landowners who have not found enough tenant farmers can only actively prepare for next year.
But the sudden establishment of the Naian labor market gave these helpless people hope.
In this labor market, as long as you pay wages that are lower than the market price, you can hire excellent labor like orcs.
When these people rushed into the labor market hall waving bags full of gold coins, they were ruthlessly told to queue up.
These orcs have been fully booked for a long time. If you want to hire them, just pay a deposit and wait in line.
That's it, the people who came in quickly booked the work of these orcs until next year. Among other things, it would be good for these orcs to build the houses in the manor first during this year.
The prisoner-of-war camp of Croni City was built in the city during the war. After the war, General Larry rushed all these smelly orcs outside the city and built a large temporary prison outside the city to guard these
Half-orc.
To the Naian people, these orcs are not the best warriors. They are unorganized and have no records. They don't know how to line up and don't know how to cooperate. They are slow-moving when they need to fight, but they are more agile than the last when they want to escape.
For Naian, it was fortunate that these orcs were their enemies, not their teammates, otherwise they would not know how they were killed.
But in the view of the Naian people, these orcs are indeed excellent prisoners of war. Except for the dozens of important figures in the orc tribe, it is too easy to manage other orcs.
Early every morning, without being urged by the guards, these orc captives would squeeze in front of the cook with their own rice bowls and wait to eat, although the breakfast given to them by the Naian people was only a bowl of gruel and two pieces of coarse bread.
After breakfast, some of the orc prisoners will be assigned to work, such as repairing roads, repairing the walls of Croni City, transporting various supplies, and repairing buildings damaged in the war. The remaining prisoners of war will begin to clean the prisoner of war camp.
The orcs who work in these jobs will get a snack at noon, and they can eat a little more than other prisoners of war. Regardless of the weight of this, the orcs in the entire prisoner of war camp are rushing to work. For this reason, these guys
They also fight a lot.
Those who had work in the afternoon continued working, while those who didn't worked gathered in the prisoner-of-war camp to gossip. Those prisoners of war who had nothing to do even took the initiative to ask the guards for materials to repair the wooden shacks where they lived.
After dinner, the prisoners of war were all driven back to their respective wooden sheds. After counting their numbers, the doors were closed and they were prohibited from moving around.
Although the Naian people would not let these half-orc prisoners of war be fed, they did not starve them either. Lorraine had told General Larry that these prisoners of war would still be useful, and their health must be ensured.
They eat regularly and have nothing to do all day, and many orcs know some tricks to improve their lives. Soon, many of these prisoners of war are fatter than before. This makes everyone from the guards to Lorraine
The Naian people were very depressed.
The establishment of the labor market has naturally won a lot of applause from all over Nai'an. It not only satisfied the landowners' demand for labor, but also earned Nai'an Province enough gold coins. Even though there are only two or three hundred thousand gold coins a year, it can
This money is not taxable and all goes into Nai An Sheng's finances. It is enough to do many things. At least Nai An Sheng has earned back half of the military expenses he spent on this war.
Although most of these labor forces were taken away by Lorraine and Leo when they first came on the market. The new landowners in Nai'an were all coveted for these labors, but no one would jump out and talk nonsense like this. After all, Lorraine and Leo
They all paid for it.
While these orcs were still living idle days in the prisoner-of-war camp, little did they know that Lorraine had put them on the shelves as a commodity that could be rented.
Of course, the Naian people will not come to ask for their opinions, and these orcs have no choice.
The construction of the farm of Lorraine's family and the expansion needs of the Flying Eagle Group directly hired 12,000 of the prisoners of war, and the remaining 10,000 were quickly taken care of by Archduke Julius and Lorraine.
Close people.
After allocating the labor force in the office, Lorraine's officials and the Flying Eagle Group quickly took action. This was related to spring planting and hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and no one dared to neglect it.
On this day, tens of thousands of soldiers from two legions suddenly surrounded the entire prisoner-of-war camp. All prisoners of war were ordered to stay in the wooden sheds and were not allowed to move around. The air suddenly became tense.
Seeing the human soldiers at war with each other, the half-orc prisoners of war felt uneasy, not knowing what kind of fate awaited them next.
As the trumpet sounded, the guards shouted "Come out and assemble", banged on the orcs' wooden sheds, and drove them all to the open space in front of the prisoner of war camp.
Soon, under the surveillance of human soldiers, more than 20,000 orcs were sitting cross-legged on the open ground, a mass of black heads.
A group of people, guarded by soldiers, stood opposite these orcs, watching these uneasy orc captives with interest.
Several of them were wearing formal official uniforms, while others were wearing the black uniforms of the Flying Eagle Company's security team.
Behind them, there is a group of orcs wearing black security uniforms, which is very eye-catching.
A captain of the security team wearing a shining eagle emblem looked at the orcs in front of him, nodded and said: "Not bad, they all look like very strong laborers."
A fat official smiled and said: "According to the instructions of the Governor, these orcs are not in trouble, and they are not asked to do more work. There are dozens of doctors who have been taking care of these orcs."
The captain said: "Okay, I've seen the person and there's nothing wrong with him. According to the contract, I'll take him away now. I have something to do next."
Although the captain is just an employee within the Flying Eagle Company, these officials all flattered him as if they were their superiors: "Please, His Highness's business is more important."
The captain nodded without pretense, waved his hand behind him, and said: "Come on."
An Orc security team member ran out of the team, quickly climbed onto a large wooden barrel, raised a microphone and shouted to the Orc prisoners of war: "Fellow compatriots, fellow Orcs, brothers of Orcs, don't worry, we
I’m here to help you live a good life.
Our Governor-General of Nai'an has issued an order. As long as everyone works honestly and contributes to our Nai'an, everyone will be free in the end. Today we are selecting people on behalf of the Flying Eagle Group. Anyone who is selected
Yes, you are blessed.
When you work for our Feiying Group, you only have to work twelve hours a day. You have three meals a day, meat for every meal, wine at the end of the month, and living expenses are paid every month. I want to leave after working for the full term.
If you don’t want to leave, you’ll be given money and things. If you don’t want to leave, you’ll be given land and a house, and they’ll be registered directly in our Naian household registration.”
The Orc prisoners of war didn't understand what he said about paying people to become naturalized. Now that they heard clearly what he said about "meat to eat and wine to drink," these Orc prisoners of war couldn't sit still, and the gluttons in their stomachs came up.
, the prisoners of war sat restlessly on the ground, swaying their buttocks and whispering to each other in low voices.
The half-orc security guard of the Flying Eagle Company then said loudly: "Compatriots, look at me. I used to graze cattle on the prairie and fight with other tribes like everyone else. We were busy from beginning to end of the year, but we were still hungry and full.
After a meal, there is not even a woman, the boss is still a bachelor, and he may die at the hands of others that day.
But since I came to our Nai'an, with the kindness of the Governor, I was allocated land, allocated a house, and joined our Flying Eagle Group. Now I have meat every meal, wine every day, and every month
I even got gold coins and married our most beautiful girl. Only now do I realize that my life for the first twenty years was in vain.
Brothers, the same opportunity is now in front of you. As long as you work hard for a few years, you can live a peaceful and comfortable life like me."
A prisoner of war below suddenly shouted loudly: "We don't care about this. Do you promise to give us meat to eat and wine to drink? If we promise, we will work for you."
The orc security guard laughed and said: "Yes, we guarantee that there will be meat for every meal and wine at the end of the month."
"Do it," the orc prisoner of war said simply: "Why don't you do it? It's better than waiting to die here."
The security captain said: "Very good," then waved his hand and said: "Go in and select people, remember the rules clearly, and group them together from the same clan."
The orc security guards behind the captain shouted: "Yes."
Then he copied the book and walked into the orc prisoners of war and began to select people. The Flying Eagle Group spent a lot of money to train these orc employees to be able to read and write. At this time, the usefulness of these people was revealed.
When these half-orc security guards walked into the crowd, they first looked at the physique and health of the captives. If they were suitable, they would write down their names and tribes and let them gather in another place.
The orc security guard on the barrel then shouted: "Brothers who have not been selected, don't worry, you will still have a chance tomorrow. We guarantee that everyone will have work and meat to eat."
In fact, Leo was thinking about recruiting all these prisoners of war into the Flying Eagle Group. Whether it was Nai'an Salt Industry, Flying Eagle Heavy Industries, or Flying Eagle Shipyard, they were all capable of hiring so many workers, but Lorraine could
I know that the landowners are eagerly waiting for these laborers. How many people are watching, and many of them are the confidants of Lorraine and Grand Duke Julius. Naturally, they cannot eat alone. The younger brothers who follow them must be taken good care of.
.
It took most of the day for the security guards of the Flying Eagle Company to select enough Orc prisoners of war. Looking at the more than 10,000 Orc prisoners of war waiting in neat rows, the security captain said: "Okay, give them a good meal."
Yes, and then take them on their way. This is a task assigned by the chairman and president personally. If anyone causes any problems for me, he will jump into the Beni River himself."
The guards of the prisoner-of-war camp ordered the disbandment of the remaining orcs. Seeing that they had nothing to do, these people naturally rushed forward in a rush, talking about the days promised by humans that they would be fed as long as they worked, and returned to their wooden sheds.
Waiting for lunch.
After the large group of orcs dispersed, a few orcs were left behind. After the others had left, these orcs cautiously walked towards the security team of Flying Eagle Company.
When the guard saw these orcs, he shouted: "What are you doing? Go back."
The security team member turned around, alertly pulled out the weapon in his hand, and faced the approaching orc.
One of the orc captives raised his hands and shouted: "My lord, I have something to say."
The guards of the prisoner of war camp and the security team members looked at the security team captain, who had the highest status in the city.
The security captain turned around and looked at the orc who was speaking. He saw that he was an old orc. The clothes he wore were pretty good. The tattoos on the orc's body had long been washed away. Just by looking at it, he couldn't tell.
Although he is a half-orc, he still wears complete clothes. He is a big shot in the half-orc tribe.
The old orc looked anxious, with a nervous expression on his wrinkled face.
The security captain waved his hand to the people around him and said, "Let him come over."
The guards pressed these orcs in front of the security captain. The captain looked at the old orcs in front of him with a condescending look and said, "Who are you?"
The old half-orc first bowed to the captain and said in unskilled Ruman language: "Sir, I am the former half-orc leader Doretta, who was captured outside the city of Croni."
The captain heard that this old half-orc was still a clan leader, so he looked at him with interest and said, "What can I do for you?"
Patriarch Dorieta bent down again and said, "Sir, do you know about a goblin named Sha Jin?"
The security captain was stunned, his expression became solemn, he looked at the leader of the Doretta clan and asked: "Goblin Shajin, are you talking about Goblin Atom, Shajin?"
Seeing the security captain calling out the goblin's full name, Chief Dorieta was overjoyed and said: "That's right, sir. Thank you, ancestor. It seems that the goblin didn't lie. Can you ask me about the relationship between your Excellency and Sha Jin?"
The security captain said: "I don't need to tell you."
"Yes, yes" Doretta nodded quickly and said.
It turns out that when the goblin Shajin first ventured on the grassland, he was a business partner with the leader of Doleta because his tribe was close to the sea.
Later, Lorraine released the goblin Sha Jin and asked the goblin to do things for him. When Sha Jin sneaked into the grassland to spy on information, he took the lead of the leader of Dolieta. When leaving the grassland, the goblin Shajin had confessed to the leader of Dolieta.
"If you are defeated by humans, tell me my name at the critical moment. Maybe I can save your life."
The leader of the Doretta tribe regarded this as a joke at the time and didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until he was defeated by General Larry outside the city of Cloni and surrounded in a small town that he had no choice but to surrender that he remembered what the goblin had said again.
.
Originally, the leader of Dolieta didn't want to say it because he also knew that the goblin Shajin was unreliable, but now humans suddenly made a big move. This was a blessing or a disaster for the orc prisoners of war. Dolie was worried and uneasy.
Chief Ta decided to give it a try.
The security captain frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Chief Dorieta quickly said: "My lord, I am a friend of the goblin Sha Jin. Mr. Sha Jin once advised me not to go against humans, but I was obsessed by the Scorpion King of Shel. I deserve to die..."
Patriarch Dorieta had a regretful expression on his face and bowed repeatedly to the security captain.
The security captain chuckled and said, "Let's get to the point."
Patriarch Doleta said "yes" repeatedly and said, "Mr. Shajin once said that if I am like today and I have any ideas, I can come to him."
Then the leader of the Doretta clan looked at the security captain nervously and said cautiously: "Sir, can you send a message to Mr. Shajin for me? I have an idea that is beneficial to mankind."
The security captain had a straight face and made calculations in his mind.
This security captain holds the title of captain of the security team and is considered a high-ranking person in the security department of Feiying Company. Otherwise, Lorraine would not have sent him out to manage the construction project of the manor.
The venture capital company is nominally an organization under the Ministry of Security. The spies of the venture capital company are also members of the security team. Of course, the treatment of the two is different. People in the security team are very covetous of the benefits of those spies.
The title of Goblin Shajin is the same as that of the security captain. They are both captains. Within the security department, only Oliver and Belen have the highest positions, which are flag captains. As for Lorraine and Leo, one is the national leader of the security team, and the other is
The commander-in-chief of the security team, as the private armed force of the future royal family, the current security team is still unknown, and the positions of Lorraine and Leo cannot scare people.
This security captain is an old officer under Archduke Julius, and he is from a minor nobleman. He has no military exploits against Goblin Shajin, and he is also a fraudster. Now he is on an equal footing with him. This security captain is against Goblin Shajin.
Very dissatisfied.
However, considering that Orc is a clan leader, this matter may be related to Lorraine's grassland strategy. The security captain kept an extra thought and decided to report this matter to Lorraine first, so the captain nodded and said: "Okay,
I will bring the words."
The leader of the Dorieta clan was overjoyed. He bowed to the ground to the security captain and said excitedly: "Thank you, sir. Thank you so much, sir. I, Dorieta, will never forget your kindness."
The security captain didn't say much, he just glanced at him with the tail of his eyes, waved his hand, and left the empty playground with his men.
