Chapter 163: There is no other way

"I disagree!"

Baron Rojas slapped the table on the table, and when he heard the maid's words, he felt a rush of blood rush to his brain, and his face turned red.

He cried out angrily, "The forest is our property, only we have the right to decide, and I will not allow those untouchables to step into my forest – not even a step!"

Baron Rojas was not the only one who was angry, but there were many nobles of all sizes, almost half of the Sadwind Lord.

They had long been dissatisfied with the independence of the Sad Wind Leader from the kingdom, and now this 'bitch' even wants them to open their forest?

Don't even think about it!

The maid folded her hands and leaned back in her chair, "Well, what about the refugees? You want to watch them all starve to death? If they riot, then it is impossible for the few territories on the border to stop them, right? As long as they enter the Sorrowful Wind Territory, they may become bandits who burn and loot next, who will bear this responsibility?"

"I'll kill them!" shouted Baron Roxas as he slapped the table.

The maid sneered and turned her gaze to the side.

"Baron Rojas, please sit down!"

A voice came from behind Baron Rojas, and when he turned around, he found several nobles with gloomy faces and said, "We are now discussing the 'big thing' about how to deal with the refugees, please don't continue to disrupt the meeting, remember that you are a nobleman!"

Looking at those unfamiliar faces, Baron Rojas was a little puzzled, and after seeing the coat of arms on their chests, after a little thought, he remembered their identities!

They were the lords of those few realms on the borders of the Windswept Realm, no wonder they looked so ...... Belch!

Baron Rojas hesitated for a moment, then sat down in silence.

After he sat down, the lords on the border eagerly asked the maid, "Master maid, as long as we open the forest, will we be able to solve the problem?"

They were very excited, because when the refugees rioted, they were the first to suffer.

Refugees will become bandits, they will burn and loot in their territory, this year's harvest is very good, it is only the end of summer, and it is not yet the autumn harvest, and they naturally have no taxes.

Their fear was that if the 'bandits' got their hands on the food, then the bandits might take root in their territory – oh my God, the consequences were too terrible for them to imagine!

"Of course not!" the maid shook her head, "How many forests are there in the Tempest, if we open the borders and let those refugees flood into the Tempest, it will be a 'catastrophe'." How much food would we be able to provide if we were to open up the forests without refusing to allow them entry? Even if we sent all the troops out to pick fruits and catch wild animals, we would never be able to meet the needs of the refugees. Not only is the food supply not able to keep up, but also because there is not enough food in the Sorrowful Wind Territory, even if the refugees are allowed to eat tree bark and weeds, we will not be able to provide so much. ”

"So, what are we going to do?"

After secretly calculating in their hearts, those nobles were even more startled by the number of refugees gathered on the border, if the refugees really rioted, then they really couldn't stop it.

After coming to this conclusion, the border lords panicked, and several nobles who were close to their territory also looked at the maid with some trepidation.

"We should first set up a few refugee camps on the border and gather the refugees so that they can be managed. ”

The maid pulled out a piece of paper from her side, and as she wrote the letter quickly, she commanded: "Do it in my name, you have stopped them at the border, and their reputation has become bad among them." Do it in my name, and you send a few more soldiers disguised as ...... No, let a few genuine peasants reach out to them and let them know my status and reputation in the Sorrowful Wind Territory, so that it will be easier to centralize them. ”

"Don't gather them all, after they are concentrated, it will be easier for them to make trouble, and if they do, it will be out of control. Establish several refugee camps on the border so that even if one camp breaks out, it can be easily suppressed. ”

"The border is too long, so instead of having a small number of soldiers guarding the border, it is better to gather the refugees first, let them know that they have a place to go, and as long as your people do a good job of guiding them, then the refugees will automatically go to the camps to wait for resettlement. When the time comes, you can directly arrange for soldiers to protect those refugees around the camp, and you can just play a monitoring role. ”

"Restrain your soldiers, don't let them harass the refugees, their emotions are not very stable, once they are treated unfairly, they may be exposed, I will not save you at that time, if something really happens, it will definitely not only be your territory, but several surrounding territories may have an accident." I have already warned you in advance, take care of your people, otherwise something will happen and you will wait to go to jail!"

After writing, the maid put down her pen, looked at the border lords who were in a cold sweat and kept nodding their heads a few times, and then turned to all the nobles present and said: "I know that you all have hoarded grain, first open the forest so that the commoners can hunt limitedly, and then buy some of the grain in their hands, and then hand over fifty gold coins per person - don't be busy objecting, listen to me - I am going to buy grain from neighboring countries for disaster relief." When something happens, none of your territory will be able to escape, and the same is true for Wende City, but there are powerful knights here, and Seth is also here, they don't dare to come easily, but what about your territory? Nearly a thousand people have gathered on the border, although the number is very scattered, but it will continue to increase in the future, as long as the war is not over, after knowing the news of the Sad Wind Leader's 'rich and safe', they will continue to come, when that time comes, what should you do?"

Listening to the maid's words, many nobles did not rush to object, they considered this issue very seriously.

They are not stupid, how can someone who can be a 'spellcaster' be stupid, their biggest problems are 'greed', 'blindness', 'short-sightedness', and 'arrogance', but they are not stupid.

They followed the maid's train of thought, and then they were startled by their own imagination and calculations.

Are there now nearly 1,000 people gathered on the border? If refugees from several surrounding territories fled to this place in the future, wouldn't it be possible that the number of refugees would exceed 10,000?

Many nobles couldn't help it, and those border lords were even more anxious.

But the maid did not take the opportunity to embarrass them, she hated these nobles, but not so much that she would fall into trouble at such a time.

"Fifty gold coins per person, the rest of the sad wind family, we made a lot of money before, and now we still have a surplus. ”

After saying that, the maid stood up and clapped her hands, "Okay, don't sit still, let's take action!" If you should go back and prepare, go back and prepare, you will distribute food to the refugees for the time being, and at the same time open the forest, let the civilians hunt for food, and then send the surplus food to the border for support. No problem with the food, I've got Seth to sort it out!"

"Wait, Master Maid, what do you mean by that?"

After hearing the maid's words, a nobleman was stunned for a moment and asked, "Duke he...... No, the Grand Duke can he solve the food problem?"

The maid raised her hand and pointed, "Isn't the Black Forest rich in products?"

The nobles thought about it, and then they were shocked.

They looked at the head maid in disbelief, wondering whether she was 'kind and kind' or 'femme fatale'.

Who has time to tell if it's a 'monster' or a 'monster' when collecting food in the Black Forest?

"They have no choice to survive – and so do we!"

The maid sighed faintly: "I need to be responsible for the people of the Sorrowful Wind Territory, I can't let them go hungry and then use the food to help the refugees." This is the best thing I will declare with them beforehand and then ...... I'll take all the responsibilities, you just have to do what I tell you to do!"

"There is a lot more meat on a monster than an ordinary monster!"
