Chapter 227 Foreign Population

"How many days are left to go back?"

"Let me see."

Jeanna's fingertips slid across the air in front of her, and a panel was dragged out by her and displayed in front of Ji Lin.

'3:21 on the 13th. '

Does that mean there is still half a month left? She probably won't be able to catch up with the New Year.

Today is also the 15th of January, and she can ask the people in the territory to help her grind some rice noodles with refined rice. Ji Lin's pen tip tapped lightly on the table, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. There are no soft, tender and smooth cakes and desserts made of various rice noodles in her world.

The autumn harvest of the territory can get hundreds of thousands of kilograms of rice. In addition to supplying daily needs, a small part of this rice can be used to process into rice noodles. These rice obtained by removing the bran layer by the ancient rice milling process is definitely not as delicate as the rice noodles made from rice after most of the bran layer is removed by the industrialized fine process in later generations.

But it also has a unique flavor for the territory with a lack of food.

He specializes in dishes and has some experience in pastries. If he hadn't been so busy recently, he would have wanted to go to the kitchen to teach the chefs how to make pastries.

When the time comes, make some pastries for Jeanna as compensation for her hard work during this period.

I hope his craftsmanship has not deteriorated.

Ji Lin flipped the documents on the desktop to the next stack, which was a recent report submitted to him by the Sky Island Outpost.

'Sky Island found a small amount of ruins fragments during the mining process. The on-site archaeological excavation was completed, and no building was found. '

Changheng had previously reported to him that Sky Island had found similar ruins. Ji Lin approved resources for him to call on additional manpower to conduct in-depth mining and excavation of the soil layer near the ruins.

Archaeological excavation of ruins takes a very long time, and the output is extremely unstable. More often, just like what Changheng reported to him, only some ruins building fragments with unknown functions were found.

These ruins fragments are useless, tasteless to eat, and a pity to throw away.

The research is difficult, and the products given are like opening a blind box.

The more complete the ruins are, the more valuable they are to develop.

Chang Heng will go there in person if he can find a relatively intact ruin at the excavation site he has established.

Why is Ji Lin so clear? Because his territory in his previous life did not grab the exploitable ruins in the world fragments, he has always purchased ruins fragments from the market for research.

A lot of resources were wasted on it.

His current scientific research load is saturated, and he will definitely be the absolute first echelon among the lords if he takes steady steps.

‘Save the ruins fragments in the sky island warehouse and resume daily work. ’

Write down and reply.

Ji Lin thought and found the memory in his mind.

If he remembered correctly, as long as he could find the ruins product, then this world is likely to be a ruins world.

As long as the ruins appear, there must be a large number of ruins somewhere.

Instead of wasting time digging three feet on this small sky island, it is better to go to the new sky island to see if similar ruins fragments can be found.

If he guessed correctly, even if there were relatively intact ruins, they should be concentrated on the three large sky islands, or the surrounding medium-sized sky islands... The small sky island he controlled, to put it bluntly, had only so many resources at most.

He still needed to wait for the airship to be completed.

He had already bought the airship airport from the system's blueprint store. This was the blueprint that the system quietly unlocked for him in the store when he had his first airship. It took 2,000 gold to unlock the blueprint from the store.

'Airship Airport'

'Special Building-Unlocked when you have a floating stone aerial creation. '

'Occupancy: 200 acres'

'+20% maintenance speed for vertical take-off and landing units, -20% maintenance cost'

'A professional airship airport with berthing places, towers, airship storage warehouses and other facilities. '

'A special parking spot for floating stone vertical take-off and landing aircraft. You'd better build it on the edge of the sky island... Of course, biological flying units can also take off from here-hey! Don't spit fire on the lawn! ’

Everything is ready, just waiting for the college's airship to give the final plan.

"There are refugees making trouble, Lord, go and take a look... Captain Mist Guard is a little overwhelmed."

The members of the blue guard/neighborhood watch organization knocked on the door of the office, panting and looking at Ji Lin, speaking intermittently.

"They said they are of noble status and cannot be grouped with these refugees."

————

"Hehe, you want to search me, but there is no way, I just can't mix with these civilians."

The man in the blue shirt who was standing at the end of the immigrant team got off the sedan chair and stood next to the member of the territory guard who had been slapped by him and staggered two steps and spit out blood.

The immigrant group, yes, is no longer a refugee group. Although the faces of these immigrants are pale, they are not as pale and thin as the refugees who first came to the territory, as if they had not eaten for several months.

They are anxious, but they look at the neat buildings in front of them with hope, hoping that they can start their new life when they arrive here.

"It's just the entrance fee. I have plenty of money to buy a safe place."

For monks like them, the local lords have to serve them well, and they are willing to come out and help them with their work. The priests of the church and the mages in the Mage Tower are also doing the same thing... There is nothing wrong with that.

After all, these spellcasters are born into the privileged class.

"I told you not to move."

Wubai shouted angrily, raised the long-pole musket in his hand and pointed it at the troublemaker. The man in a green shirt with a smile on his face could not help but flash disgust.

Both sides looked extremely ugly, and the situation was tense. In terms of numbers and equipment, the territory guards were at an absolute disadvantage. The territory guards only had fifty guard members and one hundred militiamen who were temporarily recruited to assist in the work. They only had ten long-pole rifles for deterrence, while the other side had fifty fully armed armored warriors, and there were no telling how many spellcasters like him were in the sedan chair.

Although the other side was intimidated by the firearms in his hands and did not dare to act rashly, they barely maintained a stalemate of balance.

With the increase in population, the arriving population will no longer be refugees without any skills, and the composition of professional identities will become more diverse with the increase in population.

Not only will the number of blacksmiths, carpenters and tailors in ordinary professions increase, but there may also be special professions, such as rune craftsmen, or rune magicians who cast spells. Or alchemist. Ji Lin could not get the profession of alchemist, but he could get the profession of alchemist.

Unfortunately, most of these professionals were born in wealth, and very few rose from humble backgrounds, let alone those born in the grass.

There were also some nobles and aristocratic families who arrived at the lord's territory with wealth, and even worse, they brought their own guards.

The system certainly would not send people of different cultures, but the conflicts that naturally arise between humans were not something it wanted to manage or needed to manage.

Ji Lin's policy of allocating everyone equally as laborers and all outsiders must rely on their own efforts to get fixed houses made this aristocratic child who followed the immigrant group a little unhappy.

The only special thing was that he would arrange jobs for people with skills, and they could get a standard house after working for a certain period of time. The guards would take the new residents to see the appearance of the new house and let them know what kind of living environment they could get.

Hearing the guards who maintained order tell him that he only had a simple private space. Now the primary wooden houses in the territory have been transformed into more comfortable compartments to accommodate the new residents. The original large bunks have been transformed into a private space with wooden partitions.

As more people come, the number of people carrying personal belongings is also increasing. The compartment houses are a very good temporary transitional solution. It not only retains a little private space, but also makes the newcomers live a little more comfortably, but the living environment is far worse than a house with a hundred square meters of living space.

When he heard that he had to live with these low-class people, he slapped the guard who came to inform him in anger.

This is a naked humiliation.

How could he, a monk born in a noble family who practices magic, line up in the same line as these low-class people and live in the same house as them.

After understanding the whole story, Ji Lin, with Jeanna, glanced coldly at the group of guards wearing fitted armor and the man in green standing in the center of them.

"I'm sorry, although I'm the lord, I still feel that we need some people who can handle this kind of thing - please wait a moment, we have professionals in our territory."
