I have a shelter

After patrolling the valley entrance that day, George and others spent the night at the command camp near the city wall.

After dinner, George and Gavi took a walk in the camp.

The entire camp was a long stretch, and the command camp was surrounded by temporary barracks for laborers. Campfires and bonfires even dispelled the mist in the evening. There were still people working at the city wall in the distance. The big torches there illuminated the valley entrance clearly, and the hazy fire in the mist could be seen from miles away.

The command camp was very quiet, with only hurried footsteps. But the noise in the surrounding camps continued, and occasionally there would be a burst of fighting and crying. I don’t know which lazy guys were making trouble. But not long after, Black Lake soldiers went there, and a moment later, the entire camp there was quiet.

"The pressure to maintain order has been very high recently. Mishan also stationed here with the garrison some time ago." Martin said as he looked at the Black Lake soldiers holding torches and rushing through the camps.

In order to maintain order here and to make the city wall work day and night, the strings in the heads of these scums are all tense. However, these former noble private soldiers are very good at how to keep the people safe.

However, George can also see that the ruffian nature of these scums is getting worse and worse. Now they can maintain discipline completely by the priests.

‘After a while, it’s time to train them. ’ George played with the ancient gold coins in his hand, turned his head and said to Gast (Gavi in ​​the Rat Dwelling Territory): “How many refugees have come at dinner?”

“More than 8,000 have come in the past two weeks, and they are all arranged in these camps.” Gast wiped the sweat from his head and said. He just saw a few people passing by and recognized his daughter at a glance.

Angel actually put on a divine robe today. The blood descendants don’t have any clergy now!

If the lord sees it, don’t make trouble

Beside Angel, there are several Black Lake sergeants, a plain-dressed female priest, and two sturdy and hairy guys.

Judging from the outfits of this group of people, they are probably not going to catch mice today, and Dan did not follow them.

Sure enough, they went to a camp where someone was making trouble, and there seemed to be a lot of people watching there.

The leader was right next to him, and Gast had to retract his thoughts. He turned his head and looked at his lord, and continued to answer: "The structure of these refugees is very complicated, and many people come from further east. It is said that many residents of the royal capital are also wandering outside. We are currently sorting out the list, and some of these refugees should also be residents of the royal capital."

George nodded. Sorting out the list is not an easy task. The plague makes people panic. Now, except for places like the Valley where a large number of priests gather, I am afraid that no one dares to accept refugees at will. If you hear that someone is from the royal capital, you may just drag him out and throw him into the fire pit.

"As the war in the east develops, there will be more and more refugees." George sighed and looked at the Minister of Finance, Viscount Collor: "How is our food situation now?"

"Not counting the grain reserves in the Rat Territory, Johannes's granary currently has a total of 3.57 million bushels of grain. According to the previous grain consumption records of the residents of the Black Pearl Valley, each person consumes 8 bushels per year. Excluding the deductions of some noble scum and the consumption of rats, the actual consumption per person should be around 4-5 bushels. That is, the annual consumption is about 500,000." Collor flipped through the book he carried with him and said: "Now our population is 136,000, and the population of Johannes, including sergeants, is 110,000. Because the project consumes a lot of manpower, most of the horses are concentrated here, so the food consumption is also high. Consuming 150,000 bushels of food per month is more than three times the usual food consumption."

At present, there is enough food, but if there is only outflow and no inflow, it will definitely not work.

Kolor continued, "Most of the land in the Rat Territory has been redeveloped this year. According to the advice of the Grand Secretary, the Rat Territory used the greenhouse to germinate a batch of potatoes in March this year and planted them. They will be harvested in two weeks. Although there are not many potato production areas due to the seed and wheat production plan, the yield per mu is expected to be low due to weather reasons. But with mushrooms, it is enough to be self-sufficient. After the land was reclaimed in April, the Rat Territory began to plant wheat and various crops needed by farm animals. According to the scholars' prediction, in October this year, 200,000 bushels can be saved for human consumption."

According to the land in the Rat Territory, this number is very low. But this year, there are almost no cattle and horses in the Rat Territory to work, so the productivity is really not high.

In addition, because there is more food this year, most of the things planted are mainly for livestock consumption, which makes this year's harvest only about 200,000.

The valley now needs a large number of military horses, and farmers also need a large number of cattle and horses to plow the fields. Sheep, chickens and other types of meat-producing and wool-producing livestock also need to be developed. Otherwise, it will not be able to maintain.

"Sir, we can still have some food now. I am worried about winter clothes. This winter will be terribly cold and longer. Most people have relied on hemp wool to survive the winter, but it is not enough. Anthony said we need cotton, but we have almost no seeds and the climate is not suitable." Collor seemed worried. The population size put him under great pressure. Moreover, refugees from the east are still coming. Most of these people have nothing. They need clothes, food, and even daily necessities.

"Any news about the caravan?" George asked.

Kolor shook his head and said, "In previous years, those guys came in late autumn. I hope they can come earlier this year."

"They will come earlier." George played with the ancient gold coins in his hand and nodded, saying, "Don't forget to prepare some things in advance. You can arrange what to exchange."

Gael had previously stated in the letter that he would come earlier, and even intended to get up after the spring. I don't know why it's late, but it will only be two months later.

Besides, the resources of the shelter are so abundant now, so even if Gael dies, his boss will definitely send someone else. So there is no need to worry about the caravan.

What George is worried about now is the 3,000 new residents in the shelter and something that Hillyak mentioned to him.

Some of the 3,000 new residents came from Jinmaimang Town, and some were captured by the Judgment Knights - in fact, most of them were residents near Jinmaimang Town. After the Black Pearl Manor was quiet, all the wolf descendants gathered near Jinmaimang Town. So although many people were poisoned and became werewolves because of the wolf demon incident. But in fact, there are still many werewolves who have been infected with the poison for a long time - most of them are hunters in remote areas.

The new wolf descendants are basically all low-level residents. After all, in Jinmaimang Town, the first people who responded to the call for labor and needed to line up for food were those in the slums.

Because Jack and others went to Jinmaimang Town to make up for the loss, the priests cooperated with scholars to purify the wolf poison in a large number of residents. So there are only three thousand wolf descendants in total.

Now, under the comprehensive combing of the entire Guxi by the Judgment Knights, there are no werewolves, but occasionally, the Judgment Knights will take some people away from the laborers.

Recently, those who made trouble will also be pulled into the shelter for investigation - according to Wolpe, there is definitely something strange about being so energetic after a day's work.

The wolf descendants are now very well-behaved. After all, most of them are from the low-level residents. Before the full moon, they were all very obedient and honest people.

These wolf descendants are all human descendants of the "Tallian Werewolf", and their bloodline has a long history. Although the wolf demon in the valley once became their master, he was not their ancestor. So those wolf descendants who became werewolves earlier are now completely liberated.

However, these energetic and obedient guys are not suitable for any work now. And they often have conflicts with the blood descendants

"It seems to be very lively over there, let's go and take a look." George pointed in a direction, which was the direction where Angel and his group went.
