Lord: Harvest two talented teenagers at the beginning

The next morning, Lester called seven of his subordinates to his room.

"This review will only meet the standards. If the other party doesn't want us to understand something, then we won't understand it."

"We are the title review department, not the battle merit verification department, nor the security inspection department. If we save some face for the other party, they will not embarrass us. You should keep this in mind."

"Yes, Captain." Seven people nodded and replied.

If it were an old team member, Leicester would not have warned him like this. Unfortunately, since there are three new people from other departments in his team, he must warn him in advance not to bring other departments' work styles into his team, otherwise he will suffer disaster. Deke is the captain of the 33rd Censorship Team.

Taking the briefcase, Lester took out eight forms from it, representing the eight directions of review.

For the three new members, Lester gave them the three simplest tasks of population, army and territorial area to review. The other four tasks were given to the old members, and he was responsible for reviewing the lord's strength column.

After sending the seven people away, Leicester directly wrote on the form that the standard had been met, without recording Verin's specific strength in detail.

"Okay, done."

Lester stretched and put the document he was responsible for into his briefcase, then left the door and walked towards the Adventure Tavern in Star City.

The wine he drank last time was very flavorful and made him want to go back. This time he decided to buy some wine.

In the next three days, Baird arranged for officials to cooperate with the review team members and collect data on some areas of Qixing Leader.

Everyone took Lester's instructions to heart. If the accompanying officials could stop with gentle advice, they would not continue.

After spending three days in the Adventurer's Tavern, Lester returned to his residence and checked the documents in the team members' hands one by one.

"Fourteen thousand five hundred square kilometers." Leicester's eyes widened when he saw this data. The area of ​​​​the Qingxing Territory is larger than that of the average viscounty, and it can almost catch up with three-fifths of the area of ​​an ordinary earldom.

In his decades of review career, he had never seen such a vast barony.

After thinking about it in the blink of an eye, Lester was no longer so shocked. He sorted out the documents in his hands and put them into his briefcase.

"I declare this review to be over. Everyone will rest for two days before we set off back."

"Yes, Captain."

Everyone replied excitedly that the trip was at public expense and could be reimbursed when they returned. In addition, there were many interesting places in Qixingling, and they did not want to miss it.

There are strict procedures to be followed to be promoted from baron to viscount. It is not as simple as being promoted from pioneer lord to baron. You only need to submit one document.

On the other side, Verin received the news that the review was over, and ordered Kyle to invite Lester to the castle as a guest to connect with each other.

In the evening, Lester wore a brand new dress and went to the castle for an appointment.

In the hall, a dozen maids, under Kyle's command, placed exquisite food in front of the two of them one by one.

Seeing such rich food, rare ingredients, and such high-standard hospitality in front of him, Lester was very moved.

Kyle got a black butler costume from somewhere, holding luminous wine, and stood aside to pour wine for the two of them, attracting frequent side glances from Verin and Lester.

"Brother Verin, in a few days, I will call you Viscount Verin."

When Weilin heard this, he raised his glass and replied with a smile: "It's just luck. The successive crises have caused the pioneers in the northwest region to flee. I just reaped the dividends of the times. No one can compete with me."

"You can't say that. If you don't have strong strength, how can you gain a foothold here."

Lester was a good person, and Verin always felt happy physically and mentally when talking to such a person.

The other party gives him face, and he is willing to give the other party enough face.

Halfway through the private banquet, Verin signaled Kyle with his eyes, and the other party immediately took out a gift box and placed it in front of Lester.

Looking at this scene, Lester did not refuse. The other party gave him a gift because he thought highly of him. It would not be nice if he refused.

Opening a gap in the gift box and seeing four intermediate magic crystals placed inside, Lester was shocked, but it didn't show on the surface. He controlled his expression very well, and his emotions and anger were invisible.

"Brother, the geographical location of Cardero Province is very important, but we must seize the opportunity. Anyway, the laws of the kingdom do not stipulate that the viscount cannot own an area of ​​50,000 to 60,000 square kilometers."

"Brother Leicester was joking. How many people are needed to fill such a large land area? Besides, such a large territory is almost equivalent to one-third of the area of ​​Cardero Province. This kind of thing can be done now. Can't do it." Weilin said with some regret.

"Hey, brother, you don't understand this." Lester took a sip of wine and said calmly.

Weilin raised his eyebrows and asked with some confusion: "Oh, is there some gossip in this?"

"Ahem, I don't know about hearsay or anything like that. I just accidentally heard from the elders in my family that His Majesty the King is planning to move a large number of poor people from the eastern region to the western region. It seems that it will be implemented after the war."

"Why is this?" Weilin frowned, his heart full of doubts.

"There may be two reasons for this. One is to reduce population pressure in the eastern region and use excess population resources to avoid waste."

"The second reason, I guess, is the last invasion by the famine priests and the gray wasteland monsters, which caused a large loss of population in the western region, and the population needs to be replenished as soon as possible."

"Do you know how many people died during the last three years of famine?" Weilin looked at Lester and asked curiously.

Lester's face turned serious and he spat out an astonishing figure: "At least five million people were lost."

"With so many people, it can't be possible!"

With the protection of Ms. Astanahia, there was no famine in the Prayer Star Territory. However, the Kadro Province was close to the border and was little affected by the famine sacrifices. Only tens of thousands of people died of starvation.

The Famine Sacrifice broke out from the Earl of Falkreath in the Monni Province and extended to eight western provinces. However, Weilin did not expect that so many people would die.

Although the western region claims to have a population of 100 million, it is actually only about 80 million. The sudden loss of one-sixteenth of the population is really terrifying.

"Brother, just think of this as my drunken nonsense. Don't believe this kind of news from unknown sources!" Lester pretended to be drunk and said vaguely.

"Don't worry, brother, I know it in my heart." Weilin responded with a smile, keeping the news in mind.
