Chapter 192

Victor left, took the "amulet" on his way home and took a task by the way. The content of the task is to help the old and the weak as much as possible and don't let too many people die of cold and hunger. The reward of the mission is that father Miller obediently acts as the presiding priest of Randall's collar, and Randall's collar will achieve "invisibility" in the sight of the church.

Victor doesn't know yet that the reward for this task has far exceeded his expectations and even changed the fate of mankind. At the moment, he is still worried about how to complete the task.

Finicos has a population of more than 12000, of which 9000 young and strong are free workers, and the remaining 3000 are their families. The York family can only guarantee the rations and wages of 9000 young employees. As for those old and weak, the York family can do nothing.

These old and weak could have stayed in the free people's camp in Heibao town and received relief from the church, but they had to follow and suffer. This seemingly irrational behavior is human nature. How can young parents have the heart to leave their young children alone in the free people's camp hundreds of kilometers away?

Now they are Victor's burden.

People's adaptability is so strong that most people can survive even if Victor doesn't care. But father Miller's attitude is very clear. It doesn't matter whether he believes it or not. Whether he does it or not is the key. He wants to witness Victor's responsibility with his own eyes.

How? To what extent? That's what Victor has to think about.

In Victor's view, rations are not a problem. The whole territory is 12000 square kilometers large. Natural resources alone are enough to feed these people. Moreover, Randall collar has ushered in a bumper harvest. In fact, under the leadership of caitou, these people can basically meet their daily needs by opening up wasteland, growing vegetables, mowing grass, raising pigs, collecting nuts, drying wild vegetables, and squeezing out rations from young people.

The infrastructure is weak, and the lack of warm clothes is the most deadly.

The shed where hired workers live is very simple, with air leakage on all sides. When the cold water season comes, it's not a big problem for young people to live in it, but it's difficult for those old and young people.

Victor always believed that as long as the people are busy filling their stomachs, they can't be expected to do other things well. The current situation is like this. 9000 young people have built the sluice and have to dig the reservoir before the water season. They are too busy, and those old and weak women and children have to feed themselves and have no time to repair the camp. It took them four months to build a village that could accommodate only a few hundred people at most.

Victor can solve the problem of weak infrastructure. After the crops are harvested, Randall has hands. Just send someone to repair the camp. What bothered Victor was the serious shortage of cold proof clothes.

Victor checked the materials of the camp. He found that less than 1000 of the more than 12000 people had sheep fur coats. Victor asks Nicole about it. Nicole tells Victor that the ant disaster broke out suddenly, and the Lords of the human horse hills fled one after another. The York family is busy collecting food, and there is no time to carry many materials. Those sheepskins and cowhide have entered the ant man's stomach. Now the York family has gathered more than 100000 people. They are short of not only food, but also all kinds of materials. Anthony made it clear to Nicole that the family could only support her 2000 sheep fur coats.

Victor was shocked and asked Nicole how the York family was going to solve the problem. Nicole said that the church had warm clothes that could be lent to civilians. Her brother is using some connections to try to persuade the church to change a priest, who is sure to solve the problem. Victor was silent. That's why father Miller wanted to leave, because the old priest couldn't apply for church support at all.

If Victor wants to keep Father Miller, he must solve this problem. Victor calculated that he needed to buy at least 14000 sets of warm clothes. Because the free people who took refuge in Randall did not have sheep's fur coats. These free people can be said to be clean out of the house. The Buryat family not only drove them out, but other neighbors also occupied their property.

Simple and rough! Shameless! Victor secretly scolded in his heart, but after scolding, the problem still needs to be solved, and he has only two months. Beyond this deadline, the York family will ask the church to intervene.

It seems that we can only buy sheep fur coats through Songlin town! Victor was a little depressed at the thought of being killed by the chebman family again.

A fallen leaf floated into the car from the window. Victor gently clamped it between his fingers. Through the window, he saw a rich scene.

On both sides of the road, withered and yellow oak leaves fell. Many half aged children carried baskets and carefully looked for acorns hidden in fallen leaves. Acorns can't be eaten, but they can extract oil and feed pigs. The smiles on the children's faces showed that they were full of harvest.

Seeing Victor's car coming, the children gave way to the roadside and saluted the carriage. Not far away, a large group of goats blocked the way of the motorcade. The shepherd hurriedly drove the sheep. A strong ram was accidentally pushed on his ass, and the funny somersault led to a burst of happy and pure laughter.

The embarrassed shepherd ignored to scold the little guys who laughed at him and tried his best to drive the sheep to the side of the road. After some effort, the sheep spread over both sides of the carriage, squeezing one by one and bleating. The motorcade moved forward slowly until the last little goat ran past the carriage.

The motorcade and the sheep drifted away, but the children's naive laughter fell in the carriage. Victor couldn't help looking back. He saw several children proudly showing their baskets to the shepherd, who stroked those small heads with rough palms as encouragement.

The scene made Victor smile, and his eyes swept into the distance, where there were endless wheat fields. The wind keeps blowing, the wheat waves are like tide, and the surging wheat field is like a golden ocean. In this golden ocean, hundreds of farmers are busy harvesting heavy wheat. They try to wave their sickles and stand up straight from the wheat waves for a long time to enjoy the cool wind. Victor could see the sweat on the farmer's face and the joy in his eyes, which came with the wind and blew into his heart.

Vick affectionately slipped out of the window, pressed the window frame with one hand, turned over dexterously and landed steadily on the roof. The scenery in front of me suddenly became bright. The blue sky was decorated with white clouds. The distant Heihe River was like a crystal belt inlaid on the earth. The scattered hills were dyed gold, the branches of trees were fruitful, and groups of cattle and sheep were chewing alfalfa in the valley, and the prosperous and peaceful Hekou village was at the end of the road.

The sky is high, the clouds are light, and the mountains and rivers are yellow.

The magnificent beauty gave Victor a sense of pride. The rivers and lakes, mountains and trees, farmland and villages, cattle, sheep and crops here belong to him, and most of those farmers are free people and farm workers. They get little, but the joy is real. Because the farmers placed their hopes in this territory, their fate was in Victor's hands.

Victor realized that these farmers were his greatest wealth. The strength of farmers may be insignificant, but when these forces come together, they can build towering fortresses, prosperous towns and strong armies. This power is enough to create miracles!

If you want to wear a crown, bear its weight first. The ruler has no mind to accept all rivers, only calculates his personal gains and losses, regards the people as grass mustard, and has to put on a cold and domineering face. In fact, it is just an incompetent waste. As a lord, I don't even want to bear the food and clothing of my people. I can't afford it. What's the king's ambition? Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Since you hold me up, I can do better than Guanghui church. No one will die of cold and hunger this year!

Victor's eyes became firm and distant, and the team rumbled forward to Hekou village.

In the next half month, Randall's wheat was harvested, and the harvest celebration was held as scheduled.

More than 7000 people gathered in Hekou village to enjoy the harvest. Victor ordered people to slaughter 10 fat cattle, 40 sheep and 100 pigs for free. Everyone was also given a cup of sweet purple cane wine. The farm workers loudly praised the gift of the Lord of glory, which excited father Miller, who presided over the harvest celebration for the first time. Of course, people did not forget to praise the Lord's generosity.

During the celebration, Victor publicly announced that as long as he worked for the Randall family for another two years, each family could obtain the identity of a collar, and each collar could rent 70 mu of land and obtain 30% of the income. As soon as the voice fell, Victor heard the cheers of the mountain and the tsunami. The harvest celebration also reached a climax.

While people were still reveling, the middle-level led by Victor and Randall walked into the conference room and held a round table.
