Chapter 197 Population increase and security issues

  The performance of the Maloney-Mansfield family and the Barnett family means that the nobles of Iron Tree Castle are no longer persistent and want to take a share in the vast land of the northern plain.

   Except for the lord of Iron Tree Castle, Dudley Marquis Morgan, other families will gradually reduce their investment in this area.

  Nowadays, the villages in the east of the plain are basically captured by orcs, and those that have not been destroyed are also in great trouble. Maybe they will evacuate from this area one after another.

   Either retreat to Snowfield Castle to survive this winter; or return directly to Iron Tree Castle.

  As for these villages on the west side of the northern plain, their life is not easy.

  Although there is no threat from the orcs, Cold Winter Town has brought them tremendous pressure. At the same time, the crop harvest is not as expected, and the villagers are extremely worried about the upcoming long cold winter.

   Those who are entangled and have a contract can only stay in the village and wait, hoping that the family behind the village will give some support.

   Those who are relatively free have begun to flee their original villages.

  At the beginning, this kind of escape was done by the villages on their own initiative. It was indeed one of the ways these nobles thought of to use their identity as refugees to plunder supplies and destroy the town of Rinwinter.

  But what they didn't expect was that once this plan was implemented, there was a tendency to be unable to stop the car.

   I don't know when it started, and various rumors about Cold Winter Town began to appear in these villages.

   Many people have seen the pink flying dragon before, so it spread quickly.

  So when someone saw that there was not only one flying dragon in Cold Winter Town, but also a black flying dragon that kept roaring, everyone immediately believed it.

  Rinwinter Town is guarded by powerful monsters, which has become known to many people in the northern plains. If it is just such rumors, it will at most make various forces more afraid of Rinwinter Town, and there is no need to worry about the rapid loss of villagers.

   What really gave these village chiefs a headache was the many other news about Rinwinter Town that came along with the rumors of the flying dragon.

  Rinwinter Town is a powerful and rich town, enough to accommodate all the current farmers on the northern plains.

  Rindong Town has enough vast and fertile land, and a large piece of land has not yet been developed, waiting for farmers to reclaim it.

  Rinwinter Town has prepared many houses in advance, and it can ensure that people who live inside don't have to worry about freezing to death in winter.

  Rindong Town provides various "preferential treatment" for civilians who go to defect, including but not limited to: providing low-cost and interest-free agricultural tools, providing crop seeds, selling or renting houses at low prices, etc.

  If these rumors had spread half a year ago, they would not have had much lethality at all. At that time, everyone had great doubts about the situation in Rinwinter Town, and Rinwinter Town did not have these 'things' at that time.

  It is different now. Cold Winter Town has completed the development and construction of this stage. The next step is to continuously absorb the population, fill the town that is still a bit empty at this time, improve the internal layout, and fill all the areas in the plan.

What's more, the addition of the population can make the various industries in Cold Winter Town, which are currently only embryonic, really start to develop, and it can also stimulate some people to open up new industries and markets: for example, the construction of docks and shipyards will make some people become fishermen. There is a new market in Cold Winter Town: Aquatic Products!

  As these rumors spread more and more widely, some people began to explore the direction of Rinwinter Town curiously. Of course, the soldiers of Rinwinter Town will not stop these people, and they will even lead them in a 'friendly' way.

These people don't know that when they were led into Cold Winter Town, their appearance had already been photographed and uploaded to the server that Sheldon, Leonard and others had just set up to facilitate subsequent production into personal information; or as screening spies.

  No matter who these people are, when they saw the 'luxury' and 'beauty' of Cold Winter Town, and even saw the farmland full of crops, these people were very excited.

  Whether you feel that you don’t need to think hard about how to survive this winter; or you feel that you finally see the real hope of changing the future.

  In short, these people are all attracted by the beauty and wealth of Rinwinter Town.

   At this time, they also got a 'task' by accident.

  If they can persuade and attract more people to settle in Rinwinter Town, then Rinwinter Town will provide housing at a lower price, whether it is direct purchase or renting, they can enjoy huge discounts.

  At the same time, after the spring of next year, Rinwinter Town will provide it with farm tools and crop seeds for free, so that it can start a new life without having to bear 'debt'.

  Many people who came to Cold Winter Town to check the situation chose to accept the task.

  Some of these people plan to share the discount with good friends to get through this winter together;

  Of course, it is not ruled out to directly buy a house with a little wealth, and then sublet some of the rooms to others...

  David knew what these people were doing, but he didn't pay attention to what these people were doing. As long as they could help Cold Winter Town attract more people, he didn't care about these things.

  Rinwinter Town has not yet grown to the point where it needs to regulate these things.

  David just reminded Wetherby Swan that no matter whether these houses are sublet or shared, they must sign a contract with clear and clear terms. The official of Winter Town will act as a notary to avoid possible subsequent disputes.

   "I know what to do."

Wetherby-Swan has been studying the legal provisions of the Kingdom of Tilan during this period of time. Fortunately, the laws of this world are not complicated, and there is no separate legal regulation here in Winter Town, basically it is to abide by the laws of the Kingdom of Tilan to govern.

   This greatly reduced the difficulty of his work, but from David's words, Wetherby Swan can be sure that in the future, Winter Town should implement more detailed laws and regulations.

"The population has increased rapidly recently. I think the city's public security may deteriorate at the current rate of growth." Wetherby-Swan can now see that the population of Winter Town is changing every day. In addition to making people happy, it will also cause some troubles.

  For example, not everyone who comes to Cold Winter Town will be honest!

  In the past, the composition of Cold Winter Town was relatively simple. There were several farmers from Iron Tree Fort. These farmers were either David’s contract farmers or Samantha’s contract farmers.

   Then came the people from the Masonry Union. This group of people came from an organization. In addition, the people who came to Lindong Town were all those who wanted to live a normal life in peace and stability, so it was more convenient to manage.

At that time, in Cold Winter Town, even the people in charge of law and order did not need to be arranged. Everyone would honestly follow the orders given by the lord David, rest after work, and chat with familiar friends at most. Wrapping up, looking forward to the future.

  Now the increasing number of people is different. These people have the spirit of hard work and adventure, which also means that these people have relatively stronger personalities. When there are more people like this, it is normal for conflicts to occur.

   "Therefore, it is necessary to set up a sheriff who is responsible for managing the interior of Rinwinter Town, and to formulate appropriate punishment clauses."

This is the main purpose of Wetherby Swan finding David today. Things like appointing officials, setting up new institutions, and building new buildings must be decided by David, the lord of Winter Town. Wetherby Swan, the official, currently only has the right to suggest, not the right to decide.

   "Sheriff..."

  David took a sip of the warm tea. The aroma of the tea calmed his chaotic thoughts a lot, and he shifted his attention from the mess to the immediate problem.

   "Who do you think would be a good fit for this position?"

"This... my lord, I'm afraid I can't think of anyone who is suitable." Wetherby Swan is an old stick who has been in the officialdom for decades, so he will not give advice on this kind of issue. I believe the Baron of Glamorgan in front of him My lord, I don't want to really mention a name.

  Actually, David didn't think it was that complicated. He really couldn't think of any suitable person for a while.

   Both Peggy and Sharon can hold this position, but whether they will be willing to accept this position is a question mark.

  As Steve Rogers gets closer to the position of the Supreme Mage, he seems to be able to go to Peggy at any time to help her escape from the different space and return to her own world.

  At that time, Peggy will be like the others, going back and forth between two different worlds. Even if she wants to be a sheriff, she probably doesn't have enough time.

Sharon's situation is similar. This second-generation Captain America, who is called the eldest daughter by many people, just has doubts about her own abilities in her heart, and she is worried that she will not be able to inherit the title of Captain America well, so she "stays" I didn't go back here.

   Now, with the gradual increase in strength, after meeting a lot of weird people, her own experience and experience have improved, and the suspicion in her heart may have almost dissipated long ago.

  David feels that Sharon has rarely been seen recently. It is likely that Sharon has been able to return to her original world freely, but she didn't tell everyone.

  Taking these two people as an example, the others are often not suitable for running in the two worlds, so they can only be selected from the people who are resident in Cold Winter Town.

  Will? Elizabeth? Thinking of this, David suddenly understood why Wetherby didn't make any suggestions! Sure enough, the old fox also realized this problem. The right person was either his daughter or his son-in-law. Of course he had to avoid suspicion.

  After much deliberation, it seems that Arcee is the most suitable? But Arcee is sometimes summoned by Optimus Prime, leaving Winter Town to help the Autobots deal with the Decepticons.

  After much deliberation, except for this small problem, Arcee is indeed the most suitable candidate.

   "Why don't you hire someone from the world you can go to?"
