The princesses all come to help me move the bricks [Infrastructure]

69.

Two days later, Anna almost got replies from all the forces in the three districts.

In fact, everyone watched a lot of materials being transported, but none of them were allocated to humans, and they were all given to the relatively more struggling orcs——

Although it is well known that the orcs are extremely poor, but objectively speaking, no one can endure such a "torture".

Even though some human adventurers may not have reached such a level that they can no longer expose the blame, they still can't help but feel that they are at a loss.

Some people began to feel that it was unfair, why all the supplies for the people were given to the orcs——

Although according to Anna's investigation, many times before, it was the humans who seized things that should have been fairly distributed to every orc territory, but there was never any other compensation or anything.

Then, a large number of people began to want to make trouble.

But they didn't dare to directly toss with Anna and Dorothy who stayed behind to guard the food. Firstly, Dorothy, the lion and others have amazing force values, and oil and salt can't be taken in. In addition, most of the places where things are stored have magic and alchemy props. It is not so easy to destroy by physical means. On the other hand, most people still have brains and dare not directly confront the lord.

So, they went to confront the "leader" in their eyes.

At this time, the chairman began to argue.

Mr. Alva, who has been able to maintain balance in the three districts for so many years, is not really incompetent.

Although he seems to be mediocre, in fact, as the president of the Adventurer's Association, Alva Kott just doesn't want to take care of these chores, and there are some things related to face and friendship that can't be wiped off.

But it is absolutely impossible to say that he is really a mindless person.

Alva is just unwilling to manage, not without that vision.

At this time, it showed his qualities as a president who can balance the situation.

Not only was Alva not disintegrated or tired of being entangled in the turmoil of the people below, but he picked himself out very smoothly.

When someone asked, he said that he had completely surrendered to the new lord, and he was waiting for the lord's follow-up notice and order, and he would naturally do whatever was needed for him.

But right now, he thinks that the lord has his own ideas and arrangements, and it is impossible for a small character like him to understand the decisions and strategies of a big man like the lord.

With such a statement, even if most people don't believe it, they have nothing to say.

The people left by the lord don't get in. The only person I know, Stephanie, quickly returned to the first district after realizing the difficult situation, and the lord has been in the first district aloofly. able to see.

Being able to persist until February 2 is almost the limit.

Anna also estimated in her heart that both the association and the human leaders themselves have some stored food, which is so difficult that it is difficult to cook. The president of the association, Alva, has accepted Anna's instruction to distribute the stored food to these humans. Although it is small, it can save lives. .

In such a heavy snow day, most people can still last up to a week or so.

At this time, basically even the families that could still survive for a while have to consider other ways out. These people have already used up their food reserves, and they originally planned to get some relief supplies "for nothing", especially those who want to There is no way to "save" supplies by suppressing the orcs and depriving them of what should have been distributed to them.

The association has nothing left, and some of them are all given to the most difficult families.

Heart of the Brave has been unable to figure out the inventory. It is said that the Victor brothers have hidden some things, and they are unwilling to take them out, and they are unwilling to give a number to reassure everyone.

At this time, President Alva led people, and more than a hundred of his subordinates followed him to arrive in front of Anna, and then expressed their submission.

At this time, Anna was very satisfied with this kind of smart subordinate who was very knowledgeable about current affairs, "actually the president of the union played a wave", and even offered to give the reward——

Those who volunteered their loyalty had all registered their identities, conducted a census, and received relief food and warming supplies, some of which were quilts, some clothes, and some cotton and cloth. Naturally, there were corresponding distribution rules and ratios.

In terms of food, human appetites are actually not as big as orcs. Some orcs, especially the powerful carnivorous orcs who value physical fitness, need about ten kilograms of meat a day, which is not a lot including rice and noodles. There is enough vitality, which is completely incomparable with the amount of food a human being can eat in a day or a day, even the kind of people who do physical work.

But correspondingly, the combat effectiveness of these orcs is also better than that of many humans.

Also working hard, such orcs may be four or five times stronger than ordinary people, with amazing fighting power and amazing strength.

"You did a great job."

Anna couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Thanks to President Alva's "smart" initiative to offer loyalty, this part of the 88 people was newly counted, and was successfully included in the scope of her territory. Although the average loyalty was only about 30, considering that the first district was also Only in this situation, she felt that there was nothing wrong.

In this way, not everyone can hold back.

Some people are already very greedy seeing the orcs being able to get relief supplies, and now some "similar" have also obtained such qualifications. Although the things they get are different, they are not nothing at all.

Immediately afterwards, after this, Anna had someone post the new announcement on the bulletin board in the third district.

There were four or five announcements at once, one of which was "Trial Measures for Regulations on Territorial Activities of Oran (Three Districts) ([-])" and "Arrangement of Temporary Regulations and Regulations of Oran (Three Districts)", both of which were about the territorial residents in the territory activity constraints and related requirements.

Just like Anna arranged the "Trial Market Measures" before, new restrictions were imposed from many aspects.

Similarly, this time, Jack was there to explain for everyone. The part he explained was mainly aimed at some "loose people" personnel in the third district, especially those other mercenaries who did not join the three largest organizations in the third district or other mercenaries. Be it an adventurer or an ordinary person.

The president of the association arranged for someone to notify that there were loyal and obedient orcs on the Beast King's side.

The heart of the brave is still in a stalemate with Anna, but no one can miss it.

In addition, there are several notices, which are probably the arrangements for some public affairs in the near future, including disaster relief matters.

First of all, orcs are distinguished from other humans. Orcs are different from humans because of their race. In addition, their own wealth and poverty are different. Anna hopes to achieve precise assistance, not like the same area. At that time, everyone in District [-] was in the same situation. It was Anna who watched the development. At that time, the poor were all poor, which was completely different from District [-]. Even in District [-], there were extremely poor people living in large bungalows. Being taken care of separately from Anna.

Then, only those who have done the census and related disaster statistics can get subsidies, or in other words, only those who have dedicated their loyalty to Anna can get the status of permanent residents of the three districts, and then legally Received disaster relief materials and assistance.

The president of the association has led people to complete the work, and they dare not release water or lie to Anna.

At that time, Cinderella and her assistant Kate were in charge of investigating the relevant situation. Cinderella, who was wearing a monocle, a high-end prop, had a completely different temperament, which was particularly awe-inspiring, and she also had the "polygraph and alchemy props" given by Anna. , Whoever told lies and made false data can be seen completely.

In this way, Anna's move is basically completed.

She and Cinderella took turns sitting in districts [-] and [-].

Cinderella was worried that Kate would do all the work alone. It was okay for the orcs to do the census at the beginning, because after all, they had already offered their loyalty to Anna, but humans might not be able to. Like the people in the first district.

Fortunately, when she offered to visit the third district, Anna gave her alchemy props.

After that, Anna continued to accompany the Ice Queen in the first district, and handed her the fragments from the third district from time to time, and then Cinderella went to the third district and sat in the town for a few days, greatly reassuring everyone's hearts.

"That's it..." Anna looked at the situation report sent by Cinderella. She was thinking about whether to send alchemy props such as a mirror, so that the two of them could "video call".

Cinderella said that because the president led the people to complete the task very well before, starting from this day, after the announcement, many scattered people came to register with them.

People from the Heart of the Brave were also mixed in, but because the leader of the Heart of the Brave, the two Victor brothers, hadn't made a statement yet, Anna deliberately left those who weren't going to accept them immediately.

In this way, many people are very anxious.

If everyone has completed the registration, but they haven't, will they be excluded from the territories of the three districts?

That's a big deal.

After all, this is Anna's territory. If she doesn't want anyone to stay here, it's just a matter of minutes.

Right now, it's just that she still has some lack of people, and she doesn't want to be such a ruthless lord to waste people's tongue.

Anna didn't like to get a reputation for being brutal. She was obviously a very generous person to the people, but she was reluctant to give up this part of the people because of a few bad leaders.

Soon, Anna's "reversed force" strategy has achieved results.

Some people in the Heart of the Brave have realized that she is dissatisfied with the two leaders, and because they have not made a statement for a long time, and are unwilling to spit out half of the power they think they have gnawed, that's why Anna uses such drastic means .

Among the twelve teams of the Heart of the Brave, when Cinderella just wrote a letter to Anna on the work report, two of them came over on their own initiative, in the name of a single "branch" rather than the entire Heart of the Brave team. , to offer loyalty to Anna, the lord behind Cinderella.

In fact, Victor refused to let go, and Anna knew the reason.

Because she proposed that "monopolistic" mercenaries or brave organizations in the three districts are not allowed, that is, the twelve big teams of the heart of the brave must be split up, and some of them must be "kicked out" or "split".

When Victor and the others were not so ambitious, the third district was at the time when a hundred flowers were blooming, and there were many mercenary teams, each with its own characteristics.

There is no such thing as the current situation of fighting each other in a nest, not to mention that other small teams have no living space at all.

In Anna's territory, any organization is absolutely not allowed to do such overbearing things as "reserving the venue", "clearing the venue" and "restricting other people's appearance time and scope of activities".

However, in the Heart of the Brave team, which has a lot of "fish eyes" mixed in, there are so many people who benefit from it, and the small team dare not say a word.

Anna didn't explicitly point out this matter, but she has already investigated the relevant situation.

She deliberately hinted at this situation and her dissatisfaction with it in the announcement, including the notice with Brother Victor.

If they were smart, they should "dock their tails for survival" immediately.

But it seemed that the Victor brothers wanted to spend time with her, so that they ended up in the current result, which was extremely embarrassing.

"So, I would like to ask you for instructions..."

"According to my investigation, the second and third teams, as well as the fourth and fifth teams below, are all relatively safe teams. Among them, the sixth and seventh teams are not the direct cause of the behavior, but they enjoy the relevant activities without saying a word. The 'benefits' of..."

"There are only the second and third teams, which belong to the teams that have not participated in such behaviors as encroachment, dominance, bullying and monopoly at all, and their own style and evaluation among the people are also good."

"Now these two teams have taken the initiative to express their sincerity to me, and have expressed considerable recognition of the new rules established in the territory. I hope that I can give them relevant 'treatment'."

"Regarding this point, I asked Jack to do some investigations. It turned out that the second and third teams have been under the hands of Brother Victor, and they are also suppressed. Although they are both teams of the Heart of the Brave, their resources even Not as good as the eleventh and twelfth teams that ranked last in terms of strength... So in these two teams, many people and their families are relatively poor, and some of them are more loyal and even privately supported some former comrades-in-arms A widow or a more embarrassing friend..."

Cinderella spent a lot of space expressing her attitude and recognition to Anna.

It can be seen that Anna can write these things to show that they are truly "good people" and can gain the sympathy of such a "princess", and Anna also believes in Cinderella's vision and the established facts from the investigation.

"Based on my personal vision and level, I think they are worthy and should be granted the status of citizens. They are truly brave people, whether it is the spirit of adventure or humanistic care, integrity, friendliness, Justice...they all have excellent moral character, I think it would be a loss for the territory to miss out on such a talent."

"In addition, their current situation is not very good. While being suppressed by the Victor brothers, they also have to face the loss of the snow disaster. At the same time, the snowfall is still not over, and the cold winter has not passed..."

"They took this step with difficulty, choosing to accept the lord's arrangements and plans, and deviate from their original 'owners'... secretly conspiring to rebel under Brother Victor—I always have this feeling, but please don't Worry about me, now Dorothy and others are by my side, and the orc friends have been sending people to protect me and other territorial staff—but I have a hunch that Brother Victor must have other ideas, and Those who want to die..."

"In this way, this group of people can choose to leave, not to associate with the mud, and to choose to walk out of the swamp. Whether it is courage or other things, it is worthy of praise and encouragement."

"You said that there must be brave men under heavy rewards. I think that they are excellent talents who also meet your arrangement for the Heart of the Brave team—the icebreaker situation."

"So I think that we should not only give them the status of citizens, but also reward them and give them some other special rewards, whether it is material or spiritual, so that they can prove and encourage the correctness of their decision-making, so that more More people will choose to be on the right side."

Anna doesn't know where Cinderella learned these "thick black studies", but her ideas have indeed become more brilliant and mature.

As expected of her reliable and excellent affairs officer!

Afterwards, it is time to consider changing her status from temporary to official, from one district to the entire district or one district + three districts. Ready for a wave of rewards.

Anna thought to herself, paused for a while, wrote down the matter in a memo, and then continued to look back.

"However, maybe this is not the best time to reward right now."

"After all, putting the conflict between the lord and the ambitious Victor's forces on the surface will inevitably end up in the mouths of some broken-hearted people."

"But we can continue to give these people some other rewards in the name, whether it is spiritual or material, after all, it is a reward for completing the work perfectly after a total disaster."

"As expected of Cinderella, I want to go with you!"

Anna was overjoyed and couldn't help nodding.

"In addition, they are indeed available talents. Compared with the orcs who occasionally work a bit rough and are not good at this aspect, these people are loyal and capable. They seem to have their own advantages in the work of adventurers. At present, the orcs are not good. There was no obvious discrimination - that's what I observed after speaking with them."

"My lord, if you have other matters in the future, you can arrange for them, and even recruit some of them to be soldiers or special patrol officers in the third district. This part of the talent is also needed here. Of course, let them be adventurers. Work, or cooperate with orc groups."

"As for the planning of this part, we can discuss it when I come back to report on my work. I am also very curious about your future territorial planning for the three districts. I am very excited and happy to be able to participate in these activities."

"I'm also very happy to see the third district getting better and better under your management..."

"It's obviously your credit!"

Anna couldn't help laughing, she just felt that Cinderella was beautiful even in her modesty, and this was probably the appearance of an outstanding "workplace" elite!

After putting down the letter, Anna felt much more relaxed.

Although she took care of the beast king and the president of the association, there are still many details and various chores to deal with. After Cinderella went to help——

It seems that Anna violently cut off or combed the biggest knots in the entangled wool balls, and let Cinderella straighten out the remaining threads that have not been drawn out one by one and clearly separated. Naturally, the assistance of her other subordinates is also indispensable, including the protection of Dorothy and others.

Due to the newly acquired fragments, the total number of the Snow Queen's "mirror that reverses black and white" has come out. There are 66 pieces in total. As expected, it is the devil's mirror. Even the number of fragments is so evil——

This matter was discussed by Anna after listening to Catherine.

It turned out that the Dark God had six subordinate ancient gods. This Dark God was not the Supreme God, but the original Dark God. He had six powerful subordinates, the kind of human beings who helped to do bad things together. The bad ancient god in the eyes.

But these six candidates are not fixed, they belong to the kind that whoever is strong can get in, and the competition is fierce.

Later, one of them was the ancient god Constant, the one whose worshipers and altars Anna had strayed into his altar so long ago.

Therefore, in the eyes of human beings, six is ​​also a very evil number.

Although in Anna's view, this is purely anger, but it seems that there is such a taboo, and it has been circulated for a long time, but Anna is not sure about the statement of the six subordinates, because according to the murals, there is no such thing as particularly prominent the six.

According to those devout believers' worship of Constance's dark god, they should focus on the following, for example, he became six generals, but there is no mural.

Later, Anna heard that not only these six ancient gods were subordinates, but also 66 minor gods.

Similar to the many small gods sheltered behind the Goddess of Creation—these ancient gods were later called the God of Light by the temple and enjoyed certain sacrifices and beliefs, but they were not as popular as the Goddess of Creation and the last God of Light, but the relationship But it is different, the light side seems to be more friendly, it is the goddess who protects the weak gods, but the dark side is purely subordinate.

Anyway, this number is very taboo and not flattering.

But the mirror has been broken into so many pieces, 48 ​​pieces have been collected so far, and it can already be put together into a mirror that can see the shape, although there are still about one third of the gap.

This is also the reason why the Snow Queen can detect how many fragments there are in total.

Almost all the ones in the third district have been found, and most of the rest are in the second district, or forests or other places where there are few people.

In other places, the Ice Queen can find it by herself, as long as she casually wanders around and uses magic in such uninhabited places before the spring begins, it doesn't matter if there is still a month or two left.

The Ice Queen herself also said that if it is the kind that has integrated into the human body, she doesn't have to rush to find it, and some of it may still fall into her country.

But now it is the polar night in Beiguo, and the weather itself is ice and snow, so she has more time than in Oran.

As for the rest, it might be in the second district, so Anna had to start thinking about it.

Anna tapped her fingers on the table, thinking about it.

She had asked people to go to the second district to buy a large amount of supplies. At that time, some vendors in the second district had cheated on her. She didn't believe that the mayor of the second district didn't know about it, but Mr. Wade didn't say anything at all. There is no intention of coming out to help the other two districts.

But Anna estimated that at this time, he should also be too busy to take care of himself.

This year's money has not been given to him, and he seems to be constrained by other things, especially some aristocratic forces operating in the second district, Anna has always been concerned about it.

However, just because of her relatively large-scale purchases, and she did not conceal that she wanted to help the orcs in the third district, especially some of the orcs in the third district. According to her posture of buying tents, cotton cloth and wool materials, it is impossible for him Didn't know this.

I don't know, what mood is he in?

At this time, Master Wade, whom Anna was thinking about, was having a headache about the snow disaster in the second district as expected.

His troubles were more than those of Anna's post-disaster area, and even more complicated than those of the orcs. After all, he didn't have Anna's force value, nor did she have money subsidies from Anna.

Strictly speaking, the houses in the second district are quite old.

In fact, this snowstorm has not been encountered in decades. He has been here for so long, and he has never seen such a terrifying posture. It will make him lose more.

Now, through the mouths of some people from the first district who came to purchase, he also knows that the snow disaster is because the Snow Queen came here to look for dark items.

It's good that the lord is under control, but right now Master Wade just feels he can't speak.

I'm getting old, because of all kinds of things, I'm so busy in the cold, my mouth is bubbling and my hair is falling out.

Now, without wearing a wig, he really couldn't go out and meet people.

Unlike the newly built houses in District [-], many of the houses in District [-] are old houses, and most of them are for ordinary people to live in. There are only a few places with some big villas, which are those who will not come to District [-] for several years The places where noble lords lived in other nearby places were basically vacant.

He can only endure wasting this precious land.

Who told these people to lend a helping hand when they were in trouble in the second district?

However, the price of this repayment is somewhat unbearable.

Master Wade has indeed endured for quite a long time, and it is not easy, in various senses.

Having said that, because of the old houses in the second district and the unprecedented disaster, no one expected it before, nor did they have the level to deal with such a disaster.

Most of the houses have been damaged to varying degrees in this predicament, but fortunately, general water leakage or broken windows are problems that are relatively easy to repair.

The residents themselves can basically handle things, such as patching windows, pasting walls, or repairing roofs. Almost three or four out of ten people can do it. This is also the process of the development of the town from the village. Adults are slowly learning skills.

However, if it is an overly dilapidated place, directly collapsed or something, then it is not easy to talk about.

The second district also has places similar to slums. Unlike Anna's first district, which has large bungalows allocated and resettled by the lord, most of the people in this slum are old, weak, sick, and disabled. Over time, the house became a place where some people gathered.

This is also a problem that Mr. Wade tried hard to solve in the development of the second district, but he still couldn't make up for it.

In the end, he had to bow his head due to development, and he was unable to fulfill this wish from the beginning to the end, but he knew that the lord of the first district made special arrangements for this group of people. It has been "reused", and if it is really not possible, it is also raised by the lord or a collective of these people.

They are a natural integrated group, and the big bungalow is a small group.

It's not easy for everyone, but they also got the lord's understanding and help. Those who are able can help less, and they can contribute a little to take care of those who can't. It can be regarded as being able to "live and work in peace and contentment".

But in the second district, there are no such ideal conditions.

Even if Master Wade thought of a solution as quickly as possible, there was no way to make a qualitative change in such a short period of time.

Rather, he has spent more than ten years, but he has not been able to "eliminate" this part of the poor households. Instead, the number of people here has increased, and the living space of the second district has become more and more "squeezed".

The food, clothing, housing and transportation of these people is a problem, but Master Wade can't make any measures and arrangements to give up these people directly, so he can barely make ends meet.

In addition, this does not mean that other citizens have no problems, especially in terms of food and clothing.

Keeping warm has become the biggest problem in District [-]. Unlike District [-], where there are forests where you can collect firewood to make charcoal fires, fuel resources in District [-] have always been a problem, relying on outside merchants to bring in supplies.

The second district is a large commercial area. It is also said that it does not have too many resources. It has been relying on external input to obtain resources and conversion. Even agriculture has not developed much, although there are fields.

From the very beginning, Master Wade made business arrangements and positioning, but in such a situation, relatively speaking, he lost some natural ability to deal with disasters.

In itself, the reserve resources of the second district are not many.

The snowstorm made transportation inconvenient, and it was much more difficult for tourists to come here than before.

At this time, some "nobles" or "merchants" began to drive up prices in the local area.

Whether it's food, charcoal fire, or cold-proof supplies, the price has started to rise wildly. It's not that Anna was slaughtered, but that even Master Wade himself can't control these "kind" but hungry "wolves" .

He himself was worried about it.

It's useless to talk about love with these people, they can still speak plausibly.

It's not Tai Chi, it's all kinds of evasions, and he can even come up with some terms and contracts from the year to directly refute him.

Master Wade just felt his eyes go dark, wishing that the lord would come over immediately, saying that these things were nothing, and telling them to go straight away.

But he can't, he doesn't have the courage and power, and the lord is also offended by him right now.

In addition, if the lord really found out, he, the unlucky district chief, might not be in the same boat.

Master Wade has worked hard for most of his life, but with such a little "vanity", although he has been beaten back after getting more and more inflated, he still can't help feeling uncomfortable.

Although he is not a particularly good mayor, he is not a bastard with a black conscience. He cannot bear to let his citizens suffer from such a torment, the gap between rich and poor will be wider, or life will be more difficult.

After this group of businessmen went too far, they were able to leave with a pat on the buttocks, sucking all the blood of his leaders-although there was already such a momentum, this time they took advantage of the natural disaster to go too far.

Looking back, this mess still requires him to figure out a solution.

The young Mr. Wade is still able to manage and develop the second district with loyalty and ideals, but he is already at this age, and he feels that he may no longer have such energy.

"Then why are you hesitating?"

Mrs. Wade asked her.

Master Wade was so anxious that he almost stuck his fork in his nostrils while eating.

Mrs. Wade really couldn't stand it anymore, and when she asked, it turned out that this was the matter.

"what?"

Master Wade knew that his wife was a tough person, she didn't look like everyone's wife, but neither the leaders nor himself had any objection to this.

Old husband and wife, although she doesn't care much about these, but he still respects his wife.

"Anyway, there is no way for you to please...you want to offend the lord..."

"You might as well just honestly bring someone to Lord Anna to be a good boy... just admit your mistake and ask someone to help you, forget it."

"Ah..." Master Wade looked at her in astonishment, he couldn't even eat anymore.

Mrs. Wade originally spoke impatiently, but after she finished speaking, she felt that the idea was good, and because she thought it was a good idea after repeated thinking, she took the initiative to persuade her husband.

"You think..." she said.

"Princess Anna's reputation has always been very good. After becoming the lord, she has been concentrating on managing the territory. Look at the current development of the first district. From the way they come to buy things from us, I know they have become rich. .”

"If you look at this disaster again, the matter of the Ice Queen came from the first district, and maybe it was resolved by Grand Duke Anna."

"Then after the snow disaster, the first district recovered the fastest. It is said that it is now recruiting workers to find people to continue repairing the factory and mining. It is said that it will start preparing for road construction after the snow melts... This is not a normal recovery, it has been directly In this snowy day, work has started to resume! Many people ran away from the second district, and those who took the opportunity to work in the first district to earn a living are even more exaggerated than before!"

"Look again, the third district will definitely not be able to pass this hurdle this time, but once the lord passes by, it is said that the three districts are almost under management. The most important thing is, what kind of tents and clothes did she ask people to come to us to buy? The supplies to be transported to the third district are so expensive, why don't you just buy them!"

"One is that the rich people may be really stupid, and the other is that they must be sincere to the people. They have enough food. If they don't have tents, they will buy them. It's not to help the three districts overcome this difficulty."

"At that time, we will be short of our second district!!"

Mrs. Wade has a bad temper, and she slammed the table loudly as she spoke, which made Master Wade break out in a cold sweat, and his mind fluttered even more.

"And, don't you forget—"

"Olan belongs to this Grand Duke Anna!"
