The Knight's Journey to the Empire

"Snap! Snap! Snap!..." Soran's voice of clapping and praising suddenly rang out: "This is really a good suggestion!"

Immediately, others started clapping as well!

That’s good advice indeed!

Allow these refugee followers to accumulate some wealth before moving out.

This will greatly improve their risk-bearing ability and adaptability, while also giving them more choices.

Because you have money in hand, you don’t have to worry!

Money can solve most problems that cannot be solved by human power!

Moreover, Sauron had not thought of the suggestion of establishing a resettlement center for refugees, which would be beneficial to the long-term development of the White Bear Territory.

The function of this refugee resettlement center is actually equivalent to a transit station.

It can provide all families willing to relocate to White Bear Territory with a transitional place to shelter from the wind and rain, adapt to the new environment, and accumulate initial funds before they officially take root in White Bear Territory.

This is a vital role!

Because if there is even a slight chance to survive, who would be willing to leave their hometown, the place where their ancestors have lived for generations, and go out to seek a living?

Therefore, those who were able to come to the White Bear Territory for refuge were actually people who were so destitute that they could not make a living!

The transitional role of the resettlement center is to give them an opportunity to accumulate initial capital and start their lives anew.

"So how should this refugee shelter be managed on a daily basis?" Javier also heard Adam's words and knew it was a good suggestion.

But his question now was not to find fault, but to express his own doubts and see if he could make this plan more perfect!

"Special cases require special treatment. The management of refugee shelters should be almost the same as the management of slaves!" Adam said as a matter of course.

"First of all, it is the daily management of the refugee resettlement center. The daily management work there is mainly about one issue, that is, the problem of food! After all, the world is big, and food is the most important thing!"

"We just need to build a public canteen in the resettlement center and unify the meal times!"

"As for the rest of the time, after the project starts, they are all working outside, so don't worry about it!"

"And at night, they come back from a day's work, exhausted, and don't even have time to rest! How can there be so many things to do?"

"Then there is production management. After all the arable land in the territory is reclaimed, we will designate a suitable area and allocate arable land to them according to the number of people in the resettlement center. Let them cultivate and manage the land themselves. After the autumn harvest and the corresponding taxes are paid, the rest is their personal income."

"This way they will have a relatively generous initial capital. If we also provide support from the Lord's Mansion, they can move out directly."

"Of course, before they move out, the farmland must be taken back; and when they move to the new village, they will be allocated new farmland."

"Finally, we also need to formulate some living rules in the refugee settlement. Normally, we can manage the entire refugee settlement according to the rules!"

After listening to this, Soran also began to add to the problem: "I think it would be better to set a time limit to prevent some people from staying in the resettlement center and not wanting to move out!"

"For example, we can set the limit to half a year. During this period, the refugees can live in the resettlement center for free, and they can also get some subsidies for meals. The funds will be borne by the territory's finances!"

"Within this time limit, the sooner a family moves out of the refugee settlement, the more generous financial assistance they will receive from the Lord's Mansion!"

"If you exceed this time limit, you will need to pay relevant fees, and the longer the time, the more you will pay."

"Finally, if anyone hasn't moved out within two years, they will be demoted to slavery and all their property will be confiscated!"

"Of course, if some families have special problems, then special cases should be treated specially!"

The phenomena of free riding and exploiting loopholes are everywhere. When the system is implemented, relevant disciplines should be formulated to prevent them as much as possible.

According to the rules of this world, the most severe punishment for the subjects is "expulsion from the territory"!

But Soran is not that stupid. The lord has the right to demote the subjects who make mistakes into slaves!

How could they easily expel this good young labor force from their territory and hand it over to others if they didn't want it?

Simply degrade them to private property - slaves, and put them in your pocket, wouldn't that be great?

If you become a slave, it will be no longer up to you whether you are willing or not!

In the end, even if you die, you must turn into ashes and then be scattered on the territory to fertilize the land of my White Bear Territory!

"Master, I think this refugee resettlement center can also have a dedicated person in charge to manage it, and at the same time be responsible for receiving those refugees who voluntarily come to our territory to settle down!" This was Henry's supplement.

"Yes, yes, young master. It would be best if the refugee shelter could store a batch of materials necessary for daily production and life, such as straw mats, tableware, or some production tools! To provide them to the refugees for their daily production and life!" This was a supplement from Ramos.

"I think that as for production tools, the resettlement centers can first purchase a batch and lend them to the refugees for daily use. But they cannot be distributed for free and they cannot be allowed to take them away! If they move out, they must return them in full, and if they are damaged, they must be compensated at the original price!" This is a supplement from Gubellini.

Javier immediately gave Gubellini an admiring look.

"Yes, sir, it would be best if this resettlement center was set up outside the town, where the land is cheaper and there is no need to relocate the original residents. Moreover, setting it up outside would make it more convenient for them to go to work, or to receive other refugees who came here because of its reputation!" This was Javier's suggestion.

……

"Okay, since no one has any other opinions, let's stop discussing the solution to this problem here for now. Let's proceed according to this plan for now!" Upon seeing this, Sauron made the decision and began to assign tasks.

"Adam, Gubellini, this is still the job of you civil servants. You need to work harder and find workers to build this refugee shelter first!"

"At the same time, the task of building new villages cannot be put on hold. We must also find a good location for the new villages and develop and improve them slowly and in a prepared manner."

"Yes, young master!" The two men responded loudly.

"Javier, you need to find some time in the next two days to separate the slaves and refugee followers and have them move to their respective places in an orderly manner."

"Yes, young master!" Javier also responded loudly.

"Okay, let's hurry up and start discussing the next question!"

It's already afternoon!

And they only started discussing it after breakfast!

Time flies by so fast!
