In the second month of the season, Victor is holding the second round table in Hekou village.


    "So far, the population of Randall has reached 3455, including 1785 young men and 1104 young women, and the rest are the elderly and children. Now, free people enter our territory every day, sometimes dozens, and sometimes 7 or 8. Hekou village needs to be expanded again."


    As soon as Lilia finished, Victor felt the eager eyes of the seven village leaders. Excluding the alchemists in Zhuanyao village and hill camp, the permanent population of Hekou village has reached 3125, which has far exceeded the population scale of ordinary villages. According to common sense, either Hekou village becomes Hekou Town, or a new village is built to divert the population. Either way, Victor had to appoint a mayor or village head, and it was time for the village head to go further. Victor didn''t immediately say anything about the problem. Instead, he motioned Lilia to continue.


    "We have 7450 mu of wheat fields and 23000 mu of potato fields. These crops are growing well. The first batch of piglets in the pig farm have been bred, and we now have 5232 wild boars. The pig farm must be expanded, and the feed of wild boars will be a big problem. In addition, the cattle, sheep and horses in the territory have also given birth to cubs. At present, 245 cattle, 584 sheep and 77 horses."


    Victor nodded, turned to Sheriff Linda and said, "report on your side."


    Linda stood up and said, "the security of the territory is fairly good..."


    "You have reported the security situation. I''m not asking about security." Victor interrupted Linda''s speech and asked, "how''s your investigation on the situation of free people?"


    Linda paused and said, "Sir, according to our survey, most of the newly joined free people come from Baron Matthew, but recently, more and more people have come from other territories. Fortunately, they are all farmers of their own ability, and there has been no trouble."


    Viktor has a headache. He needs a population, but the population growth rate of 400 per month is still frightening. If this continues, the territory''s population will be close to 10000 in a year. At that time, not only natural resources will be destroyed, but also Randall''s fine and immature management system, interest distribution system and public security system will be challenged. No ruler wants to see out of control, and Victor is no exception.


    "Nelson, can''t the sentry close to Baron Matthew control the influx of people? Or does Baron Matthew deliberately break our agreement?"


    Nelson shouted: "Sir, the sentry is still in operation. Recently, many people have sneaked in from other places. They steal and hunt in the territory. According to your request, we take in the farmers with their families and drive away the restless bachelors. However, the area of our territory is so large that the escort team with more than 100 people can''t care about it. Sir, I ask to increase the staff of the escort team 。”


    "Can we solve the problem by increasing the number of guards?" Victor asked quietly.


    "Most of these refugees are victims of the Buryat family. Due to the sentry, the victims bypass Baron Matthew''s territory and flow into Randall from Songlin town. I plan to establish a sentry near Songlin town to prohibit free people from entering and leaving at will. Even if we can''t completely control the flow of victims, we can at least reduce the phenomenon of poaching." Nelson explained.


    Victor suddenly realized that there was only a small area in the northeast corner of Randall''s collar bordering on Buryat''s collar, which was close to Baron Matthew''s territory. Victor had an agreement with Baron Matthew. Baron Matthew deterred the refugees with the news of fierce wolves, and Victor set up a sentry to receive the people sent by Baron Matthew. The two sides cooperated to realize the orderly flow of population. The victims of Buryat''s family did not The method is led by Baron Matthew. In order to fill their stomachs, they can only flow to other places, and the pine forest town of the chebman family has become the direction of their flow.


    Songlin town is the place where victor and count chebman trade secret silver. In order to avoid people''s eyes and ears, Songlin town relaxed its patrol and removed many sentries. Victor also learned from the hammer report that the Buryat family drove away the mountain people in the mountain forest. It happened that Songlin town and the Buryat leader are separated by several mountains. This provides an opportunity for the victims to infiltrate. Chebman leader has a large number of villages and towns and a large population It is dense, and the villagers will fight when they see the refugees who steal and hunt. However, Randall territory has many people and rich animal and plant resources, so the victims will naturally flow into Randall territory from Songlin town.


    Victor could not set up a sentry post near Songlin town or launch a war mastiff. In Victor''s vision, Songlin town would become a gathering place for free civil and commercial traders. Before the free civil and commercial Corps grew, the chebman family carried the pot. In fact, the secret trade in Songlin town has benefited both sides. Count chebman pried open the warehouse of the southern Lord with high-profit snow sugar and coffee , grain, livestock and all kinds of materials flow continuously to the chebman collar, and also into Victor''s hands. Otherwise, how could Victor''s cattle, sheep and horses increase so much? They don''t live in a nest like wild boars.


    "The guard team can be expanded, so there is no need to build sentries. Even if they block the refugees in the direction of Songlin Town, they can enter our territory from other places. After all, our border with the chebman family is very long." Victor said to Nelson.


    Nelson nodded to accept Victor''s decision, but Lilia interrupted: "Sir, many new free people said that they joined Hekou village after they heard that we can eat for free."


    "Bang!"


    Victor slapped heavily on the table. "You can''t eat any more big pot rice!" Everyone was stunned, and Victor said, "I mean, the canteen must be closed!"


    "My Lord, we should have done this long ago. Those free people and farm workers eat more and work less. They think about their private plots all day. I suggest taking them back!" Cried Dean, the village leader.


    Victor thought for a moment and said, "the private plots can''t be collected. These free people and farm workers are not homeless refugees. They are honest and honest farmers in essence. They came out to escape from famine because of the disaster in their hometown. When the famine is over, they will still want to go back. The private plots can let them stay. I don''t want to join Randall. They are all lazy refugees!"


    "The canteen provides free food. In addition, we have been purchasing the vegetables from the private plots. Only then can the free people and farm workers be keen to serve the private plots rather than work hard. This is the defect of the canteen itself and must be changed! From tomorrow on, pay the farm workers. Once the reward is paid every day, the harder you work, the higher the reward will be. The vegetables from the private plots will also be purchased as usual Farmers use copper sol to buy food in the canteen. "


    Mo Lin, the leader of the village, asked carefully, "Sir, what shall we do?"


    Members of the work point system only earn work points and don''t take money. The free dining hall itself serves them. Now Victor wants to stop free meals, and the village leaders are worried that there will be no food in the future.


    "Isn''t there a small canteen?" Victor joked.


    The villagers'' group leaders all look like dirt. They have to use work points to eat in the small canteen, and it costs a lot. They really can''t afford to eat in the small canteen every day.


    Victor laughed: "In the past, I didn''t have the money to come up with the work point system and have a free canteen. Now, the free dining system must come to an end. You are the first to follow me and still stick to it after experiencing the ant disaster. This loyalty will be rewarded, so the work point for land is only open to you, and the small canteen is still open to you. Your private land is three times that of farm workers! In addition, Members of the work point system will receive equal pay for equal work with free people and farm workers. They will not only continue to earn work points, but also get paid. Of course, if you don''t like the dishes in the big canteen and are reluctant to eat the small canteen, I suggest you cook by yourself. I will open several shops in Hekou village to sell vegetables, meat, grain, salt and other living materials. Members of the work point system can also set up their own restaurants If you have no capital, you can borrow kingsol from me with your work points. I will exempt you from taxes for one year. I will announce the specific details later. "


    "Thank you, my Lord!"


    The villagers'' leaders bowed to Victor with tears in their eyes. Victor also had mixed feelings. The work point system helped him through the most difficult time and harvested a group of loyal subordinates. The end of the canteen marked the end of the work point system. From then on, he will fully integrate into the world.


    Victor encouraged his villagers to open shops not only to revitalize the territory''s economy, but also to accommodate more free people''s labor force. However, the manpower that new shops can accommodate is limited. In the face of the rapidly growing population, other measures must be taken.


    "Hekou village is now overcrowded. It''s time to divert. Maureen."


    Maureen stood up excitedly, bowed and said, "Sir, please tell me."


    Victor said, "you recruit 500 people to build a village in Hekou village. The location of the village is determined by me. You serve as the village head. Make a list of what materials you need."


    "Yes!"


    "The pig farm is under great pressure. You choose 500 small wild boars to take away and give them to the villagers. In a year, I will take half of the adult wild boars and the rest will belong to the breeder."


    "Ah?! this..."


    Seeing that Maureen was stunned, Victor frowned and said, "what''s the problem? The villages behind should do this! Otherwise, where does your fertilizer come from?"


    "No problem! Sir, you are our generous and kind Master!" Maureen said in fear.


    The wild animals and plants in the territory are the property of the Lord. Of course, the wild boars in the pig farm belong to victor. Victor gave 250 wild boars to the villagers for nothing. Maureen really can''t think of any other reason except generosity and kindness. But in Victor''s opinion, giving wild boars to the villagers for breeding is the way with the lowest cost, the lowest risk and the greatest benefit. The truth is, let alone farmers like Maureen, Even the Lords and nobles are not easy to understand.


    "Nelson, your territory should also be built. However, you are my vassal Lord, and your vassal is not my vassal, so it is difficult for you to recruit people in Hekou village. From now on, Hekou village will no longer accept free people, and you will accept all the people behind, but no more than 800. You can''t afford it, and I can''t afford it. As your Lord, I will support you free of charge You have two years, and you will pay a sacrifice to me in two years. "


    "My Lord, I won''t!"


    Nelson looked at the village leader at a loss and tried to ask for help, but everyone avoided his eyes. Victor reluctantly said, "I''ll fix it for you."


    "Oh."


    Nelson sat down with a smile, while Linda stared at the village leader one by one, as if to say, "at your level, dare you not look down on my Nelson? I can''t look down on you!"


    Lilia winked at Linda, motioned her to restrain a little, and said softly to victor, "Victor, there are a steady stream of free people poaching and poaching. What should we do? If it goes on like this, the hunting ground of the territory will be destroyed. I don''t know when it will recover."


    Victor said with a faint smile, "we''ll take the people who work for a living. The poachers serve two years of hard labor according to the theory of thieves. Nicole is short of people."
