In the large tent in the central area of the slave camp, Yu Ling was training 400 statisticians selected from tens of thousands of people.
However, the training encountered challenges at the beginning. Yu Ling found that most of the 'literate' people she required from each camp could just barely write their names, and many more had their names plus some numbers.
Although Yu Ling has completely participated in the enrollment of the Tower of Purity and the Imperial Capital in the past six months, these two groups of children are all children with a solid foundation and have seen the world. They do not need to worry about territory in various statistical work, and these... …
"My lord taught reading to those barbarian children, but it took several months, but with little effect," the girl muttered quietly, thinking that she would apply with Lant tomorrow for more students from Galloping Horse Academy.
The 400 people in front of them immediately fell silent when they saw Yu Ling's unhappy expression. No one dared to disturb the adult's thinking.
Seeing the hesitation of the mage in front of her, Noya made a move and moved to the front of the team. She whispered to Yu Ling, "Sir? Are you in a hurry about statistics?"
"Of course," Yu Ling looked at the girl in front of her, nodded and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"
Yu Ling's words made Nuoya excited. The mage in front of him not only admitted his predicament generously, but was also willing to accept suggestions, so he quickly said: "Most of the people here are born slaves. They have never been able to read or speak, and many vocabulary words cannot be spoken." Can't understand,
If you really want to complete the statistics, you might as well gather all the children of knights, nobles or stewards in the camp together. Most of them can read. "
"Well, what you said makes sense," Yu Ling's face relaxed a lot, but the problem was not solved, "But the number of people in this group is limited, and they cannot be evenly distributed in each tent group. "
"Uh..." Noah didn't know what to do, but at this moment, a boy came over.
"Lord Yu Ling, I am Ivan from Kirislav. My father was a knight."
The boy stood next to Noya and said with a smile: "There are actually only two types of slaves in this camp, one is the natural slave. In such a family, there are more than a dozen people, only mothers and children, and they have no skills.
The other type is captured by slave-catching teams or abandoned by large families. These people have the skills mentioned in your booklet. "
"So what you're saying is that I just need to count the information on these external slaves?" Yu Ling looked at the two children in front of her and felt like she saw hope.
"Actually, you can find the leaders. Now the leaders of the tent groups know what foreigners are in their tents," Noya added.
"Very good! You two are very good!" Yu Ling patted the shoulders of the two people, and then said to the people in the tent, "Now you should return to your group immediately and convey my order: ask the leader of your group to Bring the nobles or stewards’ children in this group over here!”
"Yes!" Following Yu Ling's order, the 400 people immediately dispersed and ran towards their respective tents.
Seeing Ivan and Noah preparing to leave, Yu Ling said: "You two have to come back to me later! I have more things to ask you!"
The area where Yu Ling was located became lively again, and people kept coming with the noble children of their own group.
However, in another area of the attendant group, Baron Dutov's wife was taking her daughter and several orc life priests to check the bodies of these preliminary attendants one by one.
After probably looking at a few girls with so-called elven blood and noble blood, the Baroness looked completely ugly, thinking that these children would have to train for several years before they could become suitable maids. They become the attendants of the royal family, and they may have the next generation.
"Madam? Are the children here not healthy enough?" Benny, the half-deer priest, looked at her cold face and asked with some confusion. In Benny's opinion, the children here are not the same as those in the Frostwolf Forest. Orc children are in similar condition, at most the ones here are simpler.
Mrs. Dutov said in embarrassment: "Master Priest, I think if the Marquis of Lant really needs an attendant, it would be best to choose one from the noble children. I am afraid we can still get a hundred or ten such children in the camp."
"In my opinion, he may not really want too many noble children to become servants and attendants in the palace," Benny said with a smile, "Lord Lant hopes that every one of his subjects can play their greatest role. "
…
In the stables of the small town of Iowa, Lant was still guarding the cocoon of fire. During the day, he took Black Rabbit to build dozens of kilometers of foundations from the town to the nearest dock. In recent days, salt and iron The company will deliver this section of railway track. In addition to salt mines, coal mines and iron ore mines, the territory will finally have rail transportation.
Since his dwarves are still studying in the Salt and Iron Department, the idea of Rand's steam locomotive has not been implemented yet, but the three mining areas have proven that even with horse-drawn rails, the transportation capacity of rail transportation is far better than that of conventional horse-drawn carriages.
However, Black Rabbit, who had worked all day, looked extremely tired and uncomfortable that night. When the sun had not set, she formed a stone cocoon in the stable, like a huge boulder of about 3 meters, and leaned against the cocoon of the blazing fire. superior.
"Li Huo, you'd better come out of the cocoon quickly, otherwise the black rabbit will break out of the shell first tomorrow, and you won't be the first high-level monster in the territory!" Lant stroked Li Huo's cocoon and whispered.
Now, although the army of the Orc King's Court has arrived at Hindukel, it has yet to move towards the Iowa Pass. Instead, it is entrenched at the gate of Abaidee. I don't know why.
It stands to reason that Lant could take time to go to the south and take 50,000 slaves out of the White Tree territory before making plans. But now that the two old friends have turned into cocoons and are preparing to break through, Lant has no other plans.
The four magical beasts are Lant's mounts and pets, but Lant has also devoted a lot of effort to them and regards them as his partners and friends. In addition, when Li Huo was in the cocoon, Lant could clearly feel her affection for the demons. The demand for the net was much greater than usual, so the magic net sword made by Tenia was left to Agni every night to provide her with more magic power.
"Lant? I heard that Black Rabbit is also going to break through?" Yawenni followed Kay into the stable. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the big stone behind Lant, "Oh! Black Rabbit is so big, if she If you break through, you won't directly turn into a Protoceratops, right?"
Lant saw that the elf in front of him was still thinking of joking, so he said with a grimace: "Princess, you can go to the south if you are tired. It will only take two days. There are too many people there, and Hunya really can't take care of him." "
"Humph, I'm not going." When she heard that Lant was going to transfer her away, Yawenni turned her head and showed great resistance, "I must watch the fire come out!"
As an elf knight, Yawenni has changed dozens of mounts, but she has never ridden a high-level monster. After being a knight for nearly a hundred years, she really doesn't want to miss the opportunity to ride a high-level monster.
"Sir, why don't you go with Kai?" Kai looked at Yawenni's appearance and simply volunteered.
"Forget it, you can't solve the problem there. I'll ask Gulea tomorrow to see if she can ask Guqirav to help." Rant said helplessly.
