Chapter 244 Identity Registration

Outside the city walls of the West, the fugitives under the guidance of the First Army soldiers under the guidance of the soldiers of the First Army, under the unprecedented identity check.

Barov naturally knew that population was the wealth that His Highness Roland valued the most. In order to bring these people back to the border town, His Highness spent a lot of golden dragons and even sent the First Army to expedition the capital.

He almost shocked his chin when the Margaret Chamber of Commerce bills were placed in front of Barov.

In most of the month, the caravan's charter, transportation fees, grain supply fees, etc. added up, and more than 2,000 Golden Dragons were spent, which was equivalent to the price of four steam engines.

If it weren't for the renovation deposit for the two sailboats last month, the financial statements would probably have a deficit this time.

After the fugitives were brought back, the cumbersome and huge statistical work fell on him.

Almost all the city hall officials and apprentices were dispatched to set up wooden sheds and passages at the foot of the city walls, and classified and counted these people and entered the archives.

Looking at the escaped people lined up in more than ten lines slowly passing through the inspection port, Barov seemed to see a group of moving coins.

Compared with the ordinary civilian registration offices that line up in long queues, the professional talent channel he personally is responsible for is much deserted. So far, only fifty or sixty people have passed.

I am...a carpenter. At this time, a middle-aged man walked over carefully. I heard that any craftsman can obtain a residence?

That's right, Senidali asked, what's your name?Can you read?

The former knight of the Benlang family was very skilled in the Ministry of Agriculture. At least he had no mistakes so far. Barov was very satisfied with his vision of people.

Although this time it was a demographic, there were only so many people who were literate in the city hall, so they had to bring people from other departments over.

Uh... Go to my sir, my name is Mather.The other party paused, I couldn't recognize words.

Can't read or write?

yes.The middle-aged man said with his head down.

Well, carpenter's words... Seni searched for the form marked with the word carpenter in a stack of inquiry forms, Ah, found it.Let me ask you a few questions.

This set of preliminary review methods was thought out by His Highness the Prince. He gathered craftsmen from various industries to ask them about some professional knowledge and corresponding solutions, and recorded the answers to form a set of inquiry forms.

In this way, just ask a few questions based on the form during the review, and you can immediately know if the other party is lying.

When he first saw this lie detection method, Barov couldn't help but want to applaud the devil's little thoughts. If he didn't work in the industry, most civilians would not understand these things. If a person wanted to pretend, he would be choked and unable to speak in just two or three questions.

What are the tools used to flatten the surface of wood?

It's...Pushing the paddle, sir.

What are the commonly used saws?

Frame saws and tug-of-war, hand saws are occasionally used when cutting small pieces.

After asking several questions, Mathel could almost answer them, and his tone gradually became smoother when he spoke.

Well, it seems you are indeed a carpenter. When Seni was about to write down the name of the person on his identity registration form, Barov stopped him.

adult?

Don't make a judgment so quickly, look at his hands first.He looked at Mathel and stretched out his hand.

When Mather heard this, he was stunned. He spread his hands with confusion. The skin in his palms was extremely rough. The cracked lines were mixed with many soil particles, and there were thick calluses under each finger, which looked weathered.

If he was a carpenter, his palms should not be so rough, especially when the two meat pads under the palms, they would become smooth and hard when they rub against the wood frequently.In addition, carpenters often need to use black paint to draw outlines, so their palms will be covered with a lot of hard-to-wash black ink and become black instead of yellow.Barov said calmly, and another point was that when he answered, he always looked away first. Many people would inadvertently show similar expressions when they recalled the memories that were not commonly used in the past. If he was a carpenter, the answer should be very natural.

Is it...is it? Seni's eyes widened.

Barov looked at Mathel with a surprised face and said in a deep voice, "You should have heard the warning from the First Army soldiers when they summon you. Any impersonation, deception and refusal to register will be severely punished."Either they were sent to mines or expelled from the Western Frontier. Now, do you still think you are a carpenter?

No, sir, I was wrong!Mathel couldn't help but kneel down on the ground. The carpenter is my neighbor. I just often watch him work!

Go and queue up there.

Seeing the other party running away in panic, Seni said astonished, "Sir, how did you know these things?"

During the Demon Moon, I had conducted a census for His Highness. I had dealt with every carpenter in the town. Then I wrote it down by the way, Barov answered casually.

Seeing the expression of shock and admiration on the Knight's face, a sense of pride suddenly arose in his heart.

Although the devil's method is clever, it will eventually be deceived by some people. Only people like themselves can make up for His Highness's void.

Moreover, influenced by His Highness, his recent way of dealing with problems has become different from before... Barov couldn't help but sigh that civilians like this must be punished with thunder in the past to shock those who are ready to move.

Now I just let him go, probably because I wanted to save some golden dragon for His Highness the Prince. After all, every escaped person is valuable. If I had not done more than ten years of work for the border town, it would not be as expensive as the cost of transporting them from thousands of miles away.

When the next escaped man passed professional inquiry, Seni did not register immediately, but instead turned his attention to Barov.

He looked at the trial several times and nodded, "You record it, I'll take him to your highness to see."

After passing through the entrance of the city wall, on the other side is the shed set up by Roland Wimbledon, which is also the last review checkpoint.

Here, they will be asked by His Highness in person, and if it is proven that there is no problem, they will be able to obtain a resident ID card and become a formal resident of the Border Town.

At present, the town has tight housing, so it can only be given priority for craftsmen to live in. As for the escaped people who do not have a skill, they have to wait outside the city wall for another two or three months.

Barov also had an ID card, which was a piece of cardboard with color, about the size of a palm. His avatar was painted in the upper left corner, which looked like a real person, with his name, address and number written in the middle.

The back of the paper is printed with the emblem of the Grey Castle Double Guns and the signature seal of His Highness.

Whether it is the paper itself or the film wrapped on the outside, the material is very strange. Whether it is soaked in water or baked on fire, it cannot damage the ID card at all.

There is no doubt that this thing must have been made by the witch named Soroya.

His Highness Roland seems to plan to promote his ID card to the whole town. In the future, whether it is to purchase food or pay compensation, he will have to receive it with a certificate.

Since awarding the medal to the eldest lady of the Pine family at the award ceremony, His Highness obviously no longer intends to hide the existence of the witch, and Barov no longer wants to pay attention to who is right and wrong from the devil or the church, and even... He began to vaguely hope that His Highness Roland could defeat the church and completely unify the Gray Castle.

There is no doubt that the higher the position His Highness stands, the more rewards he can get.

Of course, there is still a long way to go before this step, and you can consider it later.

Now the population of the town has exceeded that of Changge Fortress. His Highness also revealed to him that the city-building plan for the next year will be connected to the fortress and will turn most of the Western Frontier into a whole, and its scale will undoubtedly surpass the capital and become the most magnificent city of Gray Castle. As the head of the city hall, what kind of promotion will he get?

Barov is full of expectations for the future.
