Catalog of the Lost - a searing epic

The

innocent question asked by the naïve soldier, the silence is the cruelest expression of innocence, and the final answer to this question is only to pull him aside and prevent him from making a sound.

After that, Emel arranged for the gold and silver to be moved into the warehouse in the town of Rulu, and the caretaker was selected by Barron, and then it was the matter of arranging for the personnel to be fed and lodging.

The

town of Lulu now has a total of 1,300 people, including 100 soldiers from the army brought by Emer, 200 soldiers from the town of Lulu, 300 soldiers led by Yoni, and the residents of the city who are closed and those who are still living in prison.

Judging from the current grain storage in the warehouse in Lulu Town, it can barely hold on to the town's supply for half a month, so it is necessary to hurry up to purchase grain from other towns in this half month, and this matter is still handed over to Barron, because he has a special route for purchasing grain.

What Emer has to do is to inspire people who have been shut down because of the steel nails to come out and use the idle farmland in the city to regrow food, and as for the method, he has not yet thought of it.

But one thing is certain: in recent months, these 1,300 people will no longer have to worry about hunger.

Then there was the problem of accommodation, and the others were better to say, but the difficult thing was the hundred army soldiers that Emel brought back, and Emel did not know their usual accommodation, but because it was in the capital, it must be better than the current town of Lulu, and at this moment, Barron told Emer that there was a housing area in the northeast corner of the town of Lulu, which had existed since he arrived, but no one had lived in it so far.

Even though Emer asked Barron to take him there, when he found that these rooms were more than sufficient for lodging except that they had been uninhabited for too long, and were covered with cobwebs and dust, he immediately ordered the place to be cleaned and the soldiers of the army to be brought in for a visit, and although their faces were still somewhat disgusted, Emer promised that 'the rebuilding of the town of Lulu would begin soon, and that the houses and others would be rebuilt', and they reluctantly agreed.

Then there were the soldiers led by Yoni, who obviously didn't need to be cared much about by Emer, because they were afraid that the soldiers defending the city would be blinded because they lived in a homestay, so they borrowed tents from the soldiers who were defending the city, and set them up in an open space in the city, because it was summer, and most of them slept covered at night, although the conditions were more difficult, but they did not complain.

To this, Barron proposed: "Shall I go and clean the vacant houses in the city, where the people were gone long ago when the steel nails came, and are now unoccupied." "

"Go for it. "

With Emer's permission, Barron immediately went with someone to clean up.

At that moment, a voice poured over Emer, who was in the tent area.

"Hey, Mistress Emer. "

There was obvious disrespect in Yoni's words, but Emel didn't care about it, and instead said to Yuni who swaggered forward: "Call me Emer, I don't feel comfortable calling me like this." "

Yoni was stunned by Emel again, he didn't expect that this person with a serious expression and a loud voice did not have the same common problem of thinking that he was supreme like those lords and nobles.

The

people in the tent area gathered after hearing Yuni shouting to Emer, they were talking their own words, the voice was very noisy, Emel couldn't hear them clearly for a while, and was a little overwhelmed by the situation, but at the critical time, Yuni rushed to the front and told them to prepare dinner in a commanding tone, and they slowly dispersed.

"Great help. Emer thanked Yoni.

Instead, Yoni became arrogant because of this thanks, and complained to Emer, "It's too loud, Emer, I'm going to be deaf by you." "

"I'm sorry, my ear was injured in a previous battle, and now I only have one ear to hear sounds, so I always shout out unconsciously so that I can hear what I am saying. "

After hearing the reason for Emmel's loud speech, Yoni apologized in a panic, and Emel shook his head and told him that it was nothing.

Then the two sat down on a mound beside the tent area, and Emer's gorgeous new clothes were stained with mud, which Yoni seized on and immediately mocked him.

"You really don't look like a nobleman, those old men don't like dirty beggars lying at their feet, for fear that their dog nose will smell a little stench, but sometimes, that group of old men will pretend, pretending to make the beggars think that he is a god, in fact, they have long been disgusted with those beggars and want to throw them directly into the ditch. "

Emer heard the sarcasm in Yoni's tone, smiled awkwardly, and asked him instead: "That question, if it were you, how would you answer it", Yoni looked at Emel with a puzzled look on the surface, in fact, he understood what Emel was asking, but Emel still thought that Yoni didn't understand, so he added, " Before the second battle I participated in against the Imperials, my team received an order to go to a fortress called Dinkma, and within a few days we received orders to go to the front, and it was then that I heard Dinkma's garrison general say, 'No way, they have eaten too much'. "

Emer looked up in a depressed face, and when he saw the way he looked, even if he didn't fully believe himer, Yoni's words didn't contain a sarcastic tone.

"The Imperial Kingdom has a total of one million square kilometers of land, about two million people, in this land there are a total of one hundred and twenty-seven large towns plus nearly three hundred villages, one-fourth of the annual grain production is to be added to the treasury, the remaining three-quarters to the people, but can only provide two meals in the morning and evening for the one and a half million people living in the towns and villages, of the remaining 500,000 people, 200,000 choose to disperse into different scavenging teams, wandering all the year round in the Imperial Kingdom to beg for a living, 200,000 choose to live on the coast of the Imperial Kingdom far from the interior and live by fishing, 50,000 go to the sea by boat, and the remaining 50,000 are similar to lords, generals and other nobles. "

It was the first time that Emer had heard such a message, so his eyes widened and he listened very attentively to Yoni's words.

"The imperial kingdom and the kingdom adopted the same currency, gold, silver, copper, iron, the largest denomination of gold coins can be exchanged for 10,000 iron coins, and except for nobles and merchants, most people can only come into contact with copper coins and iron coins. Copper coins developed trade, and gold coins were the privilege of the nobles, the proportion of money in the entire imperial kingdom, 50,000 nobles accounted for 95 percent, even if they were rich, they still did nothing, soaking in the bath stuffed with gold coins every day, eating big fish and meat, but never knew that the cost of their meal could make nearly 500 people eat a full meal. "

Hearing this, Emer clenched his fists, but Yuni remained indifferent, as if none of this was his business.

"The territory of the imperial kingdom spreads to the Hesterian Snow Mountains in the east, the west to the Mlot Sea, the south to the sea, the north is the kingdom, and the kingdom extends the border to divide the territory, in the early years, because of the war between the two countries are no longer in contact, as for whether the two countries have trade in the past, I don't know, but now everyone knows, in addition to the kingdom and the imperial state, there is also the empire far away on the side of the sea, the fortress is built on the northwest corner of the imperial country, five thousand meters to the west is the sea, and the north is close to the border of the kingdom, although I can see the sea every day, I can't see any traces of land on the other side of the sea, and I don't know that the imperial people are swimming from afar。 "

This was basically the first time Emer had heard of it, and his worldview had been completely reshaped after learning about it, and he couldn't help but sigh to Yoni from the bottom of his heart, "You know so much. "

"I must have my source of information, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to fight the Imperial Kingdom for ten years", Yuni bragged about his deeds, even though Emel had an angry and serious expression on his face when he heard this, "It seems to me that you know too little, could it be that you are a good baby who has never been out of the house and listened to her mother at home?"

Emer shook his head, no matter how sarcastic Yuni was, he just silently sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and waited until Yuni patted him on the shoulder before he came to his senses, only to find that it was already dark, and Yuni was still boasting about his defeat of the Imperial Army, so he thanked Yuni and got up and left the tent area.

Emel returned to his room, waited for a long time, and when midnight came, he gently pushed the door open, dodging the soldiers patrolling the night, and followed the direction of his memory, through countless corners of the night, and finally pushed the door open.

"This time I want to have a good talk, Kite. "
