Chapter 253
In the city of Jerusalem.

Outside Lothar's printing workshop, there was a long and dense queue at this time.

There were crowds of people, guarded by heavily armed soldiers with helmets on, no matter how rebellious they were, they had to line up obediently.

A pilgrim who had just arrived at the Holy Land and didn't know what happened, came forward with some doubts: "What are you doing?"

There are public signs outside the workshop, written in various languages.

But most people still don't recognize it.

After finally asking the question, the pilgrim was shocked and said, "I only paid [-]% of the tax for the first three years, and I rented farm tools and distributed the cultivated land for free. Where did such a good thing come from?"

"Don't make a fuss, Earl Lothar's generosity and kindness are well known throughout the Holy Land. Haven't you heard of his reputation?"

"Ah, the Guardian of the Holy Land, the great knight who defeated Saladin?"

"That's right, it's him!"

Lothar's reputation has already resounded throughout the Christian world along with the passing merchant ships.

"The earl is so generous, will he go bankrupt because of it?"

Some pilgrims looked concerned.

When Fringila heard the conversation here, she couldn't help laughing, "What a simple person, you're still worried that your lord will go bankrupt."

"Their concerns are not unfounded."

Celinina said with a blank expression: "According to calculations, the initial investment in resettling the people is indeed very large. Almost all of these people are poor. We need to provide crop seeds, rented agricultural tools, and free relief food. All kinds of living materials inside."

"According to my estimation, the territory will have a net loss of [-] Suledes gold coins in the first month. This does not include food price fluctuations, loss of food transportation, livestock rations, provision of infrastructure materials, and expenditures for building public water canals .”

"so much!"

Fringira's gaze towards the crowd in line gradually became dangerous.

"If the adults are willing to spend all the money for these people on upgrading me, I can unlock the 'blood pool'."

Blood pool transformation is a special skill that can only be used at the elite stage of her body. She turns into a pool of blood. As long as the pool of blood does not dry up, she is almost invincible, which can greatly make up for her relatively weak vitality as a warlock.

At the first stage of mastery, she, Fringila, can show the true strength of the top five stars.

pat.

The lid of the iron box popped up.

A chocolate bar entrance.

Furingilla's frowning brows quickly relaxed, the danger in her eyes dissipated, she squinted her eyes, enjoying the sweet taste in her mouth.

Celinina took out another one and was about to put it in her mouth.

Then he met Fringilla's pitiful eyes.

"Nina, I want to eat this peach flavor, but I haven't had it for several days."

In Celinina's biscuit box, the chocolate bars that can be taken out are random for each flavor.

"Well, here it is for you."

"Nina, it's very kind of you."

Fringela was as happy as a 16-year-old girl.

Stand across the street.

Lothar couldn't help laughing and said, "Celinina really dotes on Flynn."

Banruo frowned: "You have already spoiled her very much, only the two of you will treat her like a child."

"Okay, let's go meet them."

Lothar and Prajna came to the two of them.

"Miss Cellinina."

Celinina was a little surprised, took a step back, bowed and said, "My lord, congratulations on getting what you want."

"Well, thank you."

Lothar paused slightly, and asked: "I just saw that these people have received their number plates and are waiting in the yard. Are they going to be resettled?"

"Well, otherwise I'm worried that the number plates they got in line will be taken away."

"You are very careful in this aspect. From what angle do you screen applicants?"

"Based on intuition."

Lothar pondered: "Oh yes, the beast's intuition is right, that really works."

While Beast Intuition isn't on Celinina's panel, that's the same reason Sword Mastery isn't on her panel.

Hans is a parallel five-star, incomparable with Cellinina.

"But you still overlooked a problem. Since the registration is reported on a household basis, many pilgrims will temporarily form families with other pilgrims because they can't line up. There may be false reports."

"This is very likely to lead to a large family of a dozen people, or even dozens of people, and someone may take this opportunity to make a profit."

There is no shortage of people like scalpers in any era.

Celinina frowned: "I will register the family size of each pilgrim in advance."

"But it doesn't stop someone from making a false report—remember to investigate this kind of thing strictly, we can't settle so many people."

If Lothar's prediction comes true, the number of people who really need to be resettled may soar several times.

Not only would it empty his wallet, but he wouldn't have enough land to house these people.

You can't throw them into the desert to graze, right?
Celinina said with some shame: "I'm sorry, my lord, this is my dereliction of duty."

Lothar comforted: "You can think of these, it's already very good."

"How many people have been recruited so far?"

"610 households, according to their registered family status, a total of 900 people."

"The number is enough. Don't recruit any more people after the end of today. We have limited capacity, and it is impossible to arrange everyone. Keep them here, and there will be churches to arrange them."

"I see."

"Have you made a plan for the resettlement of the follow-up citizens?"

"Well, the remaining land of New Habsburg can accommodate [-] households, and I plan to disperse the rest on the vacant land in Hebron, Alander, and Filorn."

She paused slightly, and added, "Sir, do you want me to disperse them or place them in a centralized manner?"

"Let's put them in a centralized place. If they form a group according to the township party, it will be a good thing for me."

Lothar is not worried that these people will form a group to resist him. On the contrary, based on the situation of the land he allocated, these people need to form a group to build a village, carry out various public constructions, and protect themselves.

"There is one more thing. Pay attention to the epidemic. If someone shows symptoms, they must be isolated in time and let the monks of the Saint Lazarus Order come to heal them."

The fact that the recruitment of the leaders went so smoothly has a lot to do with the propaganda of the Saint Lazarus Order.

Now, Uldin is busy almost every day without touching the ground. In the eyes of the common people at the bottom, the monks of the Saint Lazarus Order who wear simple clothes are simply angels.

In contrast, many priests are not very used to them.

There was a rush of hoofbeats.

Jeanna wore a silver-white helmet, followed by more than a dozen hussars, galloping forward.

"grown ups."

She saluted very seriously, and said to Celinina again: "Miss Celinina, where is my person?"

"over there."

"Then I'll take it away."

Seemingly dissatisfied with Lothar's arrangements for her, Jeanna took off her helmet, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and brushed the long golden hair sticking to her face behind her ears.

"Next time you play with a knee pillow, remember to close the door, lest some people run around in the scorching sun, wanting to drink a glass of iced wine, and have to worry about ruining someone's good deeds."

After she finished speaking, she galloped away with the hussars without looking back.

Fringila looked at Lothar suspiciously: "What is Jeanna talking about?"

Lothar coughed lightly, a little guilty.

I obviously don't remember that Jeanna came back secretly. Could it be that it happened when I was in a daze and was about to fall asleep?
"Anyway, I'll leave the matter here to you for the time being, Flynn. You can follow Miss Celinina for the time being. Hannya and I are going back to Hebron first."

"Ah, why?"

Fringira felt a little aggrieved.

"Don't worry, we're not going to play, not just Hebron, we have to go to New Habsburg later, try to activate the two new barracks tomorrow."

The barracks of the heavy cavalry, Lothar intends to place next to the stables outside the city of Hebron. It is also a building produced by the system, which can increase the probability of horse breeding, comfort, and reduce the probability of disease.

Once this precious animal gets sick, it is likely to infect the entire ethnic group. This has happened to many horse farms in Egypt trying to breed native horses, so they can only buy war horses at high prices from Tianzhu.

But this cost can be said to be extremely high. During the shipping, at least a quarter of the precious horses will be lost.
