Hogg-Yingyang stood in front of Zhou Mo in embarrassment. A steady stream of refugees on the road entered the territory of the Eagle's Nest under the escort of soldiers and knights.

Zhou Mo didn't look at Hogg-Yingyang either, but looked at the slowly moving refugees with a half-smile, and said:
"Grand Duke is really stingy, and he won't let people go on their way after they are full!"

Hogg-Yingyang's complexion turned red, and when he turned his head, it was true that the refugees were all disheveled. Some old people and children could only walk around with the support of others!

"Zhou Mo, this matter..."

Waving interrupted Hogg's words, Zhou Mo said calmly:

"Nothing, what's the matter? When Hogg goes back, just tell the Grand Duke that all the refugees assigned by the Emperor to the Grand Duke Yingyang, I have taken over all the Eagle's Nest!"

After saying that, Zhou Mo patted Hogg-Yingyang on the shoulder, and under Hogg's increasingly embarrassing expression, he went to arrange the resettlement of the refugees.

At this time, to the north of Eagle's Nest, on the riverside adjacent to the outer noble territory of the Empire, a majestic city wall with a height of 50 meters has begun to take shape. Behind the city wall is a wide and flat bluestone road. On both sides of the avenue, a brand-new and tidy block is seeing prosperity for the first time.

Outside a newly opened tavern named Abang, there is a giant white fox that is three meters long and one meter high. , Comb the hair warmed by the sun.

Ren Nian rode an old horse to the door of Abang's Tavern, and looked at this obviously extraordinary white fox.

"White Firefox is really rare." Ren Nian patted the buttocks of the old horse who sat down, the old horse stopped, and got off the horse clumsily. Ren Nian took the small package and walked into the tavern.

An old man with white hair and a face full of dimples was sitting behind the counter of the tavern, just like the white fox outside the door, as lazy and lifeless.

There seemed to be only one guest in the tavern, a brown-haired young man in an old silk robe, drinking a glass of low-quality rum, he was rather handsome, but his decadent and lazy temperament made him not so eye-catching.

Throwing the package on an empty wine table, Ren Nian said in a clear voice:

"Boss, have a glass of sea rum, a steak, and bread for one person."

The white-haired old man behind the counter didn't seem to have heard Ren Nian's words, but the decadent young man stood up, but he didn't put down the low-quality rum in his hand, and went around to the back of the pub while walking and drinking. Tray, walked to Ren Nian's desk.

"The food you want!" The voice was quite gentle, which surprised Ren Nian slightly.

The brown-haired young man seemed to be lazy to a certain extent. After delivering the food, he sat down directly on the seat opposite Ren Nian, continued to lazily lean on the chair, and drank his low-quality rum in small sips.

"My name is Ren Nian, from Alan. It's my first time to come to Eagle's Nest. Mister, can I ask you some questions?"

The brown-haired young man didn't answer, but glanced at Sea Rum in front of Ren Nian with his slender eyes.

Ren Nian smiled slightly, reached out to pick up the wine glass, and placed it in front of the brown-haired young man.

"Let's talk about it, let me explain in advance, I have only been in the Eagle's Nest for a few months."

The brown-haired young man picked up the cup of sea rum, took a sip, and then showed an expression of great enjoyment on his face.

With a gentle smile on Ren Nian's face, he asked:

"It's not a secret question, I just want to ask, how did the Eagle's Nest such a large fertile field be planted with food in a few months?"

The brown-haired young man raised his eyes and glanced at Ren Nian, and said:

"Looking at your demeanor, you don't look like a pauper, but you're not an extraordinary person. You're a civil servant!"

Ren Nian nodded with a smile, approving the guess of the brunette youth.

The brunette youth asked again:

"Want to come to Eagle's Nest to find an errand?"

Ren Nian still smiled, nodded, and remained silent.

The brown-haired young man didn't mind, and took another sip of the wine, this time even narrowing his slender eyes comfortably.

"Then you're here. Now, the Lord Viscount treats his retainers well enough. As long as he has the ability to withstand the orders of the Lord Lord's two housekeepers, it is not difficult to seek wealth!"

After finishing the sentence, the brown-haired young man looked at the sea rum in the glass with his slender eyes, showing a hint of reluctance and greed, and finally put down the wine glass embarrassingly, and drank his own again. Poor quality rum.

In the eyes of Ren Nian, his evaluation of this brown-haired young man couldn't help but rise to a higher level. A person who can overcome his instinctive desires cannot be underestimated.

Waiting quietly, Ren Nian has always been very patient.

Finally, the brunette youth drank a glass of low-quality rum, glanced at Ren Nian, and gave him the answer:
"Your question is indeed very simple. This lord, just issued an order, saying that the fields reclaimed by the extraordinary in everything can be used without paying taxes and can be used forever. All of a sudden, all the surrounding people are not satisfied The supernatural beings swarmed in."

With that said, the brown-haired young man got up, took the wine glass and walked to the counter, took another glass from a barrel, then stretched his body, winked at Ren Nian, and said:

"After all, the face of an extraordinary person can't match the real benefits! This lord is willing to spend all his money, so is he still worried about no one farming?"

Ren Nian ignored the last sentence of the brown-haired youth, but frowned, carefully thinking about the gains and losses of Zhou Mo's move.

While thinking, Ren Nian ate the food mechanically. When the last piece of beef was sandwiched between the bread and swallowed, Ren Nian frowned slightly, put down a silver coin, and hurried out of the tavern.

The brown-haired young man looked at the back of Ren Nian's hastily leaving, his slender eyes slightly opened, revealing a pair of golden-red eyes.

At this moment, Ren Nian turned back suddenly, and happened to see the extremely special pair of golden-red eyes of the brown-haired youth. He was slightly taken aback, and then he smiled and asked, as if he hadn't seen anything:

"Sorry, I forgot to ask just now, how can I find the manor or mansion of the lord of the Raging Lair?"

The brown-haired youth pointed to the southeast direction and said:

"Go straight along this main road, turn at the first branch road, and follow the road."

Ren Nian nodded his thanks politely, and then left the tavern, carefully sized up the very special white fire fox, with a hint of a smile in his black eyes.

"Looking at the eagle's lair, it's really a place where fate is intertwined, where dragons and snakes hide, it's really interesting!"

Riding an old horse, Ren Nian hurried to speed up the horse with some heartache, and walked in the direction he came. The fork in the road was quite far from this long street where he had just seen the bustling street. If he wanted to find the manor before dark, he had to speed up up.

But I didn't know that I drove all the way, and when I reached the fork in the road, I saw a long queue of refugees moving slowly along the road without seeing the boundary.

A loud voice came from far away:

"Eat and drink enough tonight, get a good night's sleep, and go to work tomorrow. The elderly and children who can't work, the lord is kind, said, he will take care of them all!"

The voice was obviously ordinary, but it seemed to be full of magic power. The originally lifeless refugee long queue suddenly became more alive.

Just as he was about to continue on his way, that loud voice came from afar again:
"Fatty, I chased you all the way from the end, and I didn't see a single person above quasi-black iron. They were all ordinary people. What does this mean? It means that the people in the Northland have no cowards, and they are all good. Just go for this, Fatty, I will replace you." Lord Viscount is the master, all of you, one counts as one, as long as you are willing to work, you will definitely not have enough to eat, some will not be warm, and some will not sleep well!"

"It's Fat Lord, on behalf of the lord, I would like to pay a little respect to those men from the Northland!"

Ren Nian heard these rough words, for some reason, a sour feeling suddenly rushed into his eyes.

That's right, it's not just the refugees led by Ying Yang. Among the tens of millions of refugees in the Sea Kingdom, there are only 130 women who are seriously ill or have just given birth. The rest are all civilians!
