1018 Chapter 1018: What a Big Pot
A young man with his head bowed slowly walked forward with the line, looking inconspicuous. The tall and thin man in front of him stumbled and completed the registration, and then it was his turn to stand in front of the registrar .
"Name?" asked the registrar.
The young man shrank his neck, glanced around in a way he thought he was calm, and whispered: "Nodri, there is no surname, my lord."
"Age? Occupation?"
"Nineteen...eighteen years old, I let the noble lord let go of cattle and raise them, my lord."
The registrar raised his eyelids, looked at the young man's hands, and at the standing posture of the young man. The smell of livestock on his body was very strong.
The registrar glanced at the young man's attire, and then at the pair of thick straw sandals on the other's feet.
"From where?"
"The village next to the main city of Luoning in Wuwei Province..."
"Do you know how to read?"
"I don't know, my lord."
"Your registration card, take the left aisle, and someone will take you to resettlement at the end."
The registrar took out a card, handed it to the young man, and said gently when the other party reached out to take it: "Young man, remember to abide by the laws of the empire, and you will gain a new life here. Also, don't call me an adult, I just An ordinary civil servant."
"Yes... yes, my lord."
The young man took the piece of cardboard nervously, nodding his head again and again. He is a slave of a small nobleman on the border of Wuwei Province. After the empire abolished slavery, he was abandoned by the nobleman and regarded as a new immigrant. Send to the seventh immigrant city.
The empire began the era of great immigration. For a long time, the huge population of the province of Cleveland has overwhelmed the former kingdom. The amount of food that needs to be allocated every year is an astronomical figure. With the end of the old kingdom, the capital province of Cleveland It also slowly lost its former glory.
When the Sarah and Baral families left the province of Cleveland, they also completely destroyed the industry in the province and lost their huge workshops. New main city and relocation of excess population.
The existing immigrant city of the empire is really used to train a large number of skilled workers for the empire. Compared with the empire that was just liberated a few years ago, the world of Kanglai has already reached the level of the earth in the 1980s and 1990s, and the number of qualified workers far exceeds that of the empire. It is that many parts of the empire have just been liberated from animal husbandry and agriculture.
These young adults need to learn new life skills so as not to be eliminated by the new world.
The aristocrats are a very shrewd group. When the new farming and planting techniques were promoted, the aristocrats found that they no longer needed so many serfs to work for them. In order to reduce expenses and respond to the abolition of slavery in the empire, they naturally sent the family Send out those extra slaves.
Nordry is such a product. In the old days, slaves who lost the captivity of nobles and had no land and homes would be more likely to starve to death.
The registrar raised his head, looked at the still long queue in the passage, and guessed how many slaves from other provinces were mixed among these people.
The registrar shook his head. Immigrant City doesn’t mind the origins of these slaves. Whether they are slaves or refugees who have lost their homes and land and left their homes, they are all valuable labor for Immigrant City. Although the registrar himself is not a high-level He is an official of the government affairs department, but he has also received training. He knows that everyone who goes to the immigration city is no different to the empire. They are all unqualified anyway, and they all need to be educated.
Since the immigrant city is prepared by the people of Colife World, it is also prepared for these people who are the first to integrate into the empire. They will study and train in the immigrant city for half a year to a year, and then they will be assigned to other main cities that need them.
Nordry, who left the registration channel, carefully held his 'registration card' and walked on the road to meet the next registrar. In this huge and strange city, he was confused and uneasy, but more Novelty and excitement.
This is the immigrant city, which is said by the noble lords and many people to be part of the new empire.
But here is completely different from what he imagined. There are no slaves here, only citizens of the empire. They will no longer be enslaved. As long as they are willing to work, they will be paid, and they will be able to eat every day.
Nordry looked at the wide and tidy streets in front of him, the tall and magnificent buildings, the upright and friendly adults, and the unbelievably bustling Dock Square.
Looking around the square as far as he could see, Nordry felt that those noble lords were right: everyone here is walking on the same path.
The road is so wide that everyone can walk.
In fact, what the aristocratic grand lord said was that we are all on a new road to a better future.
It would be great if the few companions who were sent out together were here with him, and there was also a female companion he liked, maybe he could start a new life here.
Nordri walked forward slowly, observing every new thing here as if his eyes were not enough.
There are indeed too many new things here, so many that people are at a loss, and so many that people are at a loss.
There are neat lamp posts on both sides of the wide road, but what hangs on the lamp posts is not an oil lamp, but a magic spar.
In front of Nordry, glass is actually similar to magic spar.
There is a strange metal tower standing on the open space in the distance, and there is a huge metal pot on the top of the tower. The pot is very big, at least five or six meters in diameter. At the end of the line of sight, there are workers who are building something. Every tool and machine was unseen and unheard of.
"Is this the new world? That pot is so big, how many people can it cook?"
Nordry muttered in a low voice, walking slower and slower on the passage, his attention was almost completely attracted by those strange buildings and equipment that could not be seen, but as a slave, he did not dare to look for too long, just glanced at He lowered his head, fearing that if he looked at it for too long, he would be whipped with a leather whip.
His slowness finally aroused the dissatisfaction of the people behind.
"Hey! Hurry up! You're in the way!"
"If it weren't for the old soldier who was watching, you would have been beaten to death long ago."
Someone shouted in dissatisfaction.
Immediately there was the sound of Wehrmacht soldiers banging on the fence.
"You have the guts to try."
The refugee who shouted aggressively just now shut up immediately, showing a panicked expression.
Obviously, the caller should be a noble soldier.
"Let's go!"
The Wehrmacht soldier waved to Naudry, telling him to go quickly, with an obviously impatient expression on his face, but Naudry was relieved.
Nordri hurriedly apologized, and then stepped forward to move forward.
He had encountered such a thing before, and ended up being whipped by soldiers, and almost couldn't survive that winter.
