Lord of the Oasischapter 688: the day after the founding of the empire

The news of the founding of the Caradia Empire naturally spread throughout the Nahrin Desert and the coast where the Elf Kingdom was located.

The Elf King had sent over a dozen boxes of congratulatory gifts and a greeting letter.

Cumberland and Durandal also sent congratulatory letters.

Meanwhile, Kant was busy mobilizing personnel from the main city to the local areas.

The current capacity of Cumberland had increased by dozens of times, and it was almost time to select the second batch of expatriates.

Kant asked the minister in charge of household registration, Kylak, to discuss with him.

Before Kylak was announced into the hall, Kant handed over the report sent by Cumberland to him for reading.

After reading it, Kylak said to Kant, “Cumberland’s development is really fast with each passing day. It seems that the local officials have come up with a lot of good ideas on local policies.”

“Yes, but the first batch of relocated population is only for the experimental stage. According to the current situation, we should be able to start the second batch of recruitment.” Kant argued with Kylak.

“Yes, we can start, but based on the environment in the city, who knows how many people are willing to move to Cumberland?” Kylak said worriedly.

“Let’s test the results first. Even if the number of people is up, we have to find suitable candidates according to different age,” Kant instructed.

“Yes, Lord.” Kylak replied.

The next day, the news of the second recruitment spread in Drondheim.

In short, there were still many people who came to the household registration office with their families to register. But the merchants in the city reacted more coldly.

Drondheim was the main city of the political center, and it was not easy to get a foothold here, so why go there again.

Most of the people who signed up were from agriculture and industry, as well as some logistics practitioners. These people usually shuttled between agricultural land and the market, and they had familiar connections in the merchants of Drondheim. So for them, this relocation edict might be a rare opportunity.

Kylak was in charge of the final intelligence report, after reading the letters sent one by one. He reported the names of the people involved to Kant.

“Out of more than 6,000 people, 1,580 people were chosen. Those who were chosen should feel very lucky.” Kant said as he looked at the data list at the end of the list.

“It seems that I did worry too much before. I’m really ashamed.” Kylak said embarrassedly.

“Perhaps for Cumberland, this is the upper limit of the number of people that can be carried within the territory.” Kant said to Kylak as he flipped the pages. “You’ve chosen well.”

“Thank you for your praise, Lord.” Kylak bowed and saluted.

“Let’s arrange according to this report. It’s just that with so many people’s household registration changes, I’ll have to trouble you and your subordinates again.” Kant handed the report back to Kylak and instructed.

“It’s our duty.” Kylak took the report humbly and continued, “This matter requires the cooperation of the officials of Cumberland. We will definitely hand over the new report to Lord as soon as possible.”

“Yes.” Kant nodded in response.

Under the arrangement of Kylak, the selected residents received the official reply and began to prepare for the migration according to the previous procedure.

The departure of one or two thousand people was not a big change for Drondheim.

After sending off the group of people with the firecrackers and fireworks, Drondheim returned to the usual situation.

For the imperial court, there were three or four officials who came to Kant to apply for transfer to Cumberland.

As long as they had performed well since taking office, Kant respected their personal development aspirations and did not force them to stay.

After the next batch of documents were given to the officials, they passed the matter on.

Half a month passed. The soldiers who had been stationed in Durandal for half a year finally welcomed their first vacation.

When they returned to Drondheim, Kant did not greet them. Instead, he asked Bunduk to help greet them.

After the soldiers returned to the barracks and put down all the supplies belonging to the army, they returned to their respective homes.

The vacation this time was about fifteen days. After fifteen days, they would return to the barracks. As for whether they would train in the army or be sent to Durandal for a second shift, it would have to be decided based on the circumstances of the time.

The leader of this team was Adonis. He had also returned to Drondheim.

Because he knew that everyone was homesick, Adonis did not arrange any gathering. He ordered the troops to disband at the military camp.

After the troops were disbanded, Adonis brought the news sent by Durandal to the palace.

“Lord.” Adonis greeted.

“Why are you here?” Kant raised his head from the document and asked.

“I’m here to hand in the report.” Adonis bowed and handed the report to Kant.

“Lord messenger is running back and forth in the desert. It’s really too tiring. Taking advantage of our return trip, I took over his mission and settled him in Drondheim so that he can have a good rest. I hope Lord won’t blame me.” Adonis carefully explained.

“The weather in the desert has been unpredictable recently.” Kant nodded slightly. “You haven’t returned to Drondheim for half a year, right. “Now that you’re back in the city, you still have to come to the palace. I’ve really troubled you. I’ll take this report. You should hurry home to see your family and children.”

“Thank you, Lord,” Adonis said gratefully.

After saying goodbye, he left the senate hall.

Kant sat back down and picked up the documents of Durandal to read.

Before he knew it, the sky outside the window had completely darkened.

“Lord, it’s time for your dinner.” the guard at the side couldn’t help but remind him.

“Well, you all go and eat. I’ll finish reading this part of the document and then have my dinner.” Kant ordered with a frown, his eyes still focused on the document.

Hearing Kant’s words, the guard at the side consciously didn’t say anything else. Instead, he stood quietly at the side and waited.

An hour later, Kant finally stood up from the table and handed the revised document to the attendant.

He slowly walked to the dining table in the side hall and sat down.

A team of attendants came in with dishes and placed them on the table.

The kitchen had already distributed the dishes that they had prepared earlier, and they had made new dishes for Kant not long ago.

Kant shook his head when he knew about it. It seemed that he would have to find someone to discuss with the kitchen in the future and not prepare dinner for himself too early.
