Release that Witch Chapter 244: Identity registration
Beyond the Western Region walls, refugeess under the guidance of First Army soldiers undergo an unprecedented identity check. 〔
Barov naturally knows that the population is the highest value of His Highness Roland. In order to return these people to Border Town, His Highness spent a lot of gold royal and even sent First Army expedition Kingdom Capital. When Margery Commerce's bill was placed in front of Barov, he almost shocked his chin.
For more than half a month, the caravan charter, shipping, and food supply fees provided by the caravan actually cost more than two thousand gold royals, which is equivalent to the price of four steam engine. If it hadn't been for the retrofit deposits received for the two sailing vessels last month, I am afraid that this time the financial statements would be in deficit.
After the refugeess took it back, the tedious and huge statistical work fell on him. City Hall officials and apprentices were almost all dispatched. Wooden sheds and aisles were set up at the foot of the city wall. These people were classified and recorded and filed. Looking at the refugees lined up in a dozen lines slowly passing through the checkpoint, Barov seemed to see a group of moving coins.
Compared with the ordinary civilian registries in long lines, the channels of professional talents he is responsible for are much deserted. So far, only fifty or sixty people have passed.
"I'm ... a carpenter," at this time, a middle-aged man walked carefully, "I heard that any craftsman can get a place?"
"Yes," Seney Darley asked, "What's your name? Can you read?"
The original Wolf Family Knight has done a good job in Ministry of Agriculture. At least so far, no errors have been made. Barov is very satisfied with his own vision. Although this time it is a demographic, there are so many illiterate people in City Hall, so I had to pull people from other departments together.
"Uh ... Master, my name is Marcel." The other paused, "I don't know words."
"Will neither read nor write?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man bowed his head.
"Well, the words of the carpenter ..." Seney searched the form with the word carpenter, "Ah, in a stack of questionnaires and found it. Let me ask you a few questions. "
This set of preliminary examination methods was conceived by His Highness the Prince. He gathered craftsmen of various industries together, asked them some professional knowledge and corresponding treatment methods, and recorded answer to form a set of inquiry forms. In this way, as long as you ask a few questions against the form during the review, you can immediately know if the other party is lying. When I first saw this method of lie detection, Barov couldn't help but applaud the careful thinking of Devil. If not in the industry, most civilians would not understand these things. If a person wants to impersonate, Just two or three questions can make you speechless.
"What tools are used to level the surface of wood?"
"Yes ... flat planing, sir."
"What are the most common saws?"
"For frame and pull saws, occasionally hand saws are used to cut small pieces."
After asking a few questions, Marcel can almost answer, and the tone of speech gradually becomes smoother.
"Yeah, it seems you are indeed a carpenter," Barov stopped him when Seney was going to write down the person's name on the identity registration form.
"Master?"
"Don't make a judgment so fast, you look at his both hands first." He looked at Marcel, "put your hand out."
Marcel heard these words startled, and his face Confusedly spread out both hands --. The skin in the palm of his palm was extremely rough. The cracked lines were mixed with many soil grains, and there were thick cocoons under each finger. Weathered.
"If he is a carpenter, his palm should not be so rough, especially the two meat pads under the palm, which often rub against the wood to become smooth and hard. In addition, carpenters often need to use black paint to draw contour lines , So the palm will be stained with a lot of black ink that is difficult to wash off and become black, instead of yellow. "Barov said calmly," One more thing, he always looks away when answer. -- Many people think about it In the past, those memorys that were not commonly used would inadvertently show similar expressions. If he is a carpenter, answer should be very natural. "
"Yes ... this," Seney's eyes widened.
Barov looked at Marcel with a look of surprise, whispered, "You should have heard the warning from First Army soldiers when they summoned you. Any impersonation, deception and refusal to register will be severely punished. Either be assigned to a mine, or Deported from Western Region, now, do you still think you are a carpenter? "
"No, sir, I was wrong!" Marcel couldn't help but kneel to the ground, "The carpenter is my neighbor, I just watch him work often!"
"Go in line there."
Seeing the other side fled, Seney whispered, "Master, how did you know these things?"
"At Months of Demons, I did a census for His Royal Highness. I have dealt with every carpenter in small town, and I wrote it down by the way," Barov replied pretendingly. Seeing the shocked and admired expression on Knight's face, he felt a pride in his heart.
Devil's method is clever, but in the end it will be deceived by some people. Only people like yourself can make up for His Royal Highness.
Because of His Highness, his recent approach to the problem has become different from the past ... Barov can't help but lament that civilians like this must be punished by Thunder in the past in order to deter those who want to move. only. Now letting him go directly, probably want to save His Highness the Prince for gold royal --. After all, each refugees is worth a lot. If you do n’t work for Border Town for more than ten years, it will not be worth the cost of shipping them from thousands of miles away. .
While waiting for the next refugees to pass a professional inquiry, Seney did not register immediately, but set its sights on Barov.
He looked at the interrogator a few times and nodded, "You can record it, I'll take him to see His Highness there."
Crossing the entrance to the city wall, the other side is the shed set by Roland Wimbledon, which is also the last checkpoint.
Here, they will accept personal enquiries from His Highness. If it is confirmed that there is no problem, they will get a "resident ID card" and become full residents of Border Town's. At present, small town has a shortage of housing, and it can only be given priority to the craftsmen. As for refugees, which has no skill, it has to wait for two or three months outside the city walls.
Barov also has an ID card --. It is a piece of hard paper with color, about the size of a palm, with his head pictured in the upper left corner. It looks just like a real person, with his name and address in the middle. And number. The back of the piece of paper is printed with the emblem of the Greycastle double gun and His Royal Highness's signature seal. Whether it is the paper itself and the film wrapped on the outside, the material is very strange. Whether it is immersed in water or baked on fire, it will not damage the identity card.
There is no doubt that this thing must have been made by the witch named Soraya. His Royal Highness Roland seems to intend to promote the identity card to the whole town. In the future, whether it is to buy food or pay, it will be necessary to obtain a voucher.
Since presenting the medal to the Pine Family young lady at the ceremony, it is clear that Her Highness no longer intends to hide the existence of witch, and Barov has no desire to bother who is right and who is wrong with Devil and Church, or even ... It is hoped that His Royal Highness Roland will defeat Church and completely unify Greycastle.
Undoubtedly, the higher your Highness stands, the more rewarding you will be.
Of course, there is still a long way to go before this step can be considered later. Now that the population of small town has passed Longsong Stronghold, His Highness also revealed to him that once the city ’s construction plan -- is connected to stronghold, it will turn more than half of Western Region into a whole. Its size will undoubtedly exceed Kingdom Capital and become the most magnificent city of Greycastle. City Hall Prime Minister, what kind of promotion will I get?
Barov is full of expectations for the future. .
