Chapter 31： 31: The old man

Seeing the barbarians constantly pouring out, Aslan was a little surprised.

I remember that when he took over the old and weak women and children from Laianning Village in his previous life, there were only seven or eight hundred people, which is many times the number at that time!

"Lord Lord, you asked me to take all the people over, you can't go wrong!" Lai Anning, who was a head taller than Gawain, said, hiding behind Gawain and craned her neck.

Aslan was speechless for a while, was he so scary?

After hearing Laianning's words, a gray-haired old man among the savages approached him and lowered his head very humbly.

"Lord Lord! Please don't be embarrassed. Those of us who are waiting to die will forget. I hope you can accept these children. Although they are very thin now, as long as they grow up, they can definitely become your most brave and loyal. Man." The old man knelt on his knees and gave Aslan a prostrate.

Many barbarian warriors have red eyes, even Lai Anning is no exception.

The old man crawling on the ground was Lai Anning's teacher, once one of the most powerful warriors of the barbarian clan, and used to be the pillar of their line.

It’s a pity that when he was old, their line never appeared at the level of great swordsman. Even after the strong swordsman, the food ration was reduced, making their people start hungry. Not all people of the race.

The long-term hungry makes the elderly weak, the children are malnourished, and the physique is getting worse and worse. Naturally, there is no way to train good fighters, and they fall into a vicious circle.

The line of Laianning will only get weaker and weaker until it is annexed by a stronger tribe one day.

Although Aslan didn't know this old man, he had heard from Laianning and Thies many times in his previous life, but it was a pity that the old man died of hunger just a year after he came to Laianning Village.

Gululu!

The old man hadn't heard Aslan's answer, his stomach gurgling sounded. I don't know if it was because of long-term hunger. This gurgling sound was very loud, and everyone around him could hear it clearly.

Gao Wen opened his mouth aside, but didn't know how to speak.

There are really too many people in Laianning Village this time. There are more than two thousand people. With the food of barbarians, even the elderly and children, one day is three to four times that of ordinary people. The young and middle-aged are even more terrifying. Thousands of people don't sound like many, but the appetite of barbarians.

That's tens of thousands or even more. The current population of Merlot doesn't have that much food at all.

Aslan only froze for a short moment, because he recalled some past life.

Lai Anning's eyes could not help but dim, and he was also very aware of the situation in the small town of Merlot, and relying on a small town of Merlot alone would not support his tribe.

It's just that as soon as he looked up, Aslan said, "Essien will take everyone into the house to see how hungry they are, and have a celebration banquet."

Essien was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly and quickly said: "Lord Lord, our food production cannot satisfy such a large population."

Aslan waved his hand indifferently, helped the old man who was kneeling on the ground up, and grabbed the other's wrist. Aslan couldn't help but feel sad, really late.

Judging from the bones of the old man, when he was young, he was a mighty and mighty warrior just like Lai Anning, but now he is hungry and almost skinny, and even his waist is a little crooked.

"You have suffered, and Merlot will be your home in the future." Aslan very naturally helped the old man into Merlot.

"Everyone has worked so hard, and all came to the Lord's Mansion to participate in the celebration banquet." Aslan said to the people who came to support the elder while supporting the old man.

The celebration banquet is very simple. After all, the small town of Merlot has just solved food and clothing. It is not easy to be able to eat and dress warmly.

This night, many savages shed tears while eating.

They don't know how long they haven't eaten enough.

Essien walked over with a gloomy face, Aslan became a good guy, and he would naturally be the bad guy.

Seeing Essien's gloomy face, Laianning and Yorkf quickly stood up and greeted them. As the commander, Essien has the right to rule these barbarians in the future.

"Master Town Commander!"

"See your lord of the town!"

Essien looked at the two of them unexpectedly. In the past, Lai Anning was a taller person in the small town of Merlot. Except Aslan, no one else was a bird. Now he is so polite. It seems that he is very clear about the situation. .

"You should know the situation in the town now! If you are just ordinary people, it is not a problem to save a little, but you don't need to say how much your appetite is. You don't need to say that you know." Essien said with a calming expression.

Yorkf and Laianning glanced at the weird gazes of the tribesmen and ordinary people around them, and they couldn't help lowering their heads, embarrassed and embarrassed.

"We understand that we will never eat free meals, and I don't know what jobs the Master Township can give us. We promise not to eat free meals." Yorkf said decisively.

Essien nodded in satisfaction.

"It's pretty much the same. All the people who work in Melo have always been calculated based on salary rations. I think Laianning should be very clear about this. I have calculated that the barbarian fighters are much better than ordinary fighters, so The salary of a barbarian warrior is four times that of an ordinary warrior."

Hearing that the current salary has quadrupled, Lai Anning raised his finger and counted. They now have 46 qualified barbarian fighters in the army. This salary is enough to cover the monthly work of 500 people I couldn’t help but be overjoyed by the consumption of food.

"As for those barbarian fighters who are not qualified, they get the same salary as ordinary fighters." Essien continued to add.

"This is specially granted to you by Lord Lord."

"What a benevolent lord!" Yorkf praised.

Lai Anning's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to ask: "Master Zhenling! Then if all of my people become qualified barbarian warriors, can they get the same salary as mine?"

"That's natural, but the assessment is very difficult. You have to be mentally prepared." Essien added.

"It doesn't matter, I will definitely practice those little brats." Laianning said overjoyed.

"I've calculated it too. This can probably solve the food for your thousand people. You still have more than 1,300 people. The lord has already set aside a piece of land on the east side. You will be responsible for the production. If it can be fully utilized and developed, it will be completely There is surplus food for your family to live a good life."

When Essien said this, there was also a slight uncomfortable feeling in his heart, because Aslan was too generous to the Laianning clan.
