Chapter 22: Fairness In mid-July, it had been a month since Zhao Yannian left the territory, and now a convoy of nearly 1,000 people was tiring under the scorching summer sun.
"My lord, it's too hot today, I'm afraid someone will get heat stroke if I go any further."
Celine said to Zhao Yannian with some concern.
I opened the car door just now, but a heat wave hit my face, and the maid had to quickly close the car door again.
At this time, Zhao Yannian was lying on the table correcting some ink-printed test papers.
Hearing the maid's worries, Zhao Yannian put down his pen, straightened up and stretched, and said: "Wait a minute, there is a forest in front, where to rest, if the temperature hasn't dropped at three o'clock in the afternoon, let's rest for a day today, everyone is tired these days." ” "Thank you, my lord, I'll let you know."
When the maid heard that it was time to rest, she opened the car door briskly, got out of the car and went to inform everyone that she had gone.
Today's migration team includes five hundred and seven half-elves who are about to become members of Zhao Yannian's territory, two hundred human mercenaries with shields, and several companions from the SCHOTT Chamber of Commerce and their families who have been encountered on the way.
Because of the elven bloodline, the ratio of men and women is extremely uncoordinated, and there are less than 100 men and half-elves among the more than 500 half-elves.
Following the tradition of the elf clan, this half-elf village that took refuge in Zhao Yannian implements the matriarchal system, Celine is the youngest of the three elders of the half-elf village, and the other two are more than a hundred years old, gray-haired female half-elves, of course, because of the elf bloodline, their faces do not look old, and the half-elves and elves, like the elves, will only begin to age rapidly when their lives are about to end.
The mercenary of the hand of the shield is a mercenary organization with a very good reputation in the northern territory, the organization has tens of thousands of professionals in the northland, this organization acts calmly, and the scope of the business is mostly escort and guard, because of the good work ethic in the northern territory has been praised by many lords and merchants, the three archdukes who hired them to escort the half-elves this time are rumored to be the bosses behind the hands of the shield.
The chamber of commerce buddies of Bunier and their families all belong to the small citizen class of Ivorda City, most of these people have some crafts, although they can't become craftsmen, but jobs such as repairing pots and bowls can probably still make a living in Zhao Yannian's territory.
With Celine's shout, the speed of the entire convoy increased significantly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the mercenaries at the front of the team had already entered the sparse woodland.
The mercenaries did not rest immediately, the warriors began to stand guard with their weapons, and a few wanderers and hunters began to explore the depths of the woodland with their weapons.
A procession of nearly 1,000 people came to the woodland one after another to assemble, and some of the wanderers also came out of the bushes to indicate that the surroundings were very safe.
Then all the humans and half-elves sat down in the shade of the trees as if they had been unburdened, and began to drink and rest.
Zhao Yannian got out of the carriage with a bundle of exam papers, and after many young girls and half-elves saw the exam papers, they immediately got up and surrounded Zhao Yannian.
"Lord Lord, how many points did I score this time?"
"My lord, my score?"
"My lord, what is the taste of this reward?"
Zhao Yannian was instantly surrounded by dozens of half-elf girls, and not far from Zhao Yannian, there were several adult half-elves looking at Zhao Yannian.
"Okay, don't make any noise, come and get the exam papers and prizes when you hear my name."
Zhao Yannian held up the test paper in his hand and waved it like a fly, calming down the half-elf girls.
These days, Zhao Yannian has adapted to the feeling of being surrounded by a group of beautiful girls, but at first, for these girls with some sexism, Zhao Yannian also wasted a lot of thought to establish his majesty, these dozens of young half-elves are the testers selected by Zhao Yannian in order to find the merits of the half-elves.
Using hypnotic learning machines, exams, and rewards and punishments, Zhao Yannian has confirmed that the memory ability and learning ability of the half-elves are very strong these days, but because of the rejection between races and the innate racial discrimination of the half-elves, the half-elves are not educated, and with the deepening of Zhao Yannian's exam questions, these elves have shown a very good talent in logical thinking ability.
The older half-elves, probably because of their experience, are very low-key.
After Zhao Yannian's many contacts, Zhao Yannian can confirm that the personalities of these older half-elves are very gentle and strong, and in the future, after they have learned enough knowledge, they should be able to become an important force to help Zhao Yannian manage the territory, of course, Zhao Yannian will not give them a high status at the beginning, only those who have earned it through hard work will cherish it, and Zhao Yannian still understands this truth.
And the young half-elf Zhao Yannian decided to train them as his assistants and engineers, this group of beautiful girls not only looks eye-catching, but also is very serious when studying, perhaps because they are used to living a collective life, when Zhao Yannian established his own majesty, the orders he issued were carried out by these girls without discount, which made Zhao Yannian very satisfied.
As for the male half-elves, who are at the bottom of the half-elf village, Zhao Yannian found that they are very lacking in self-confidence and subjective initiative after contacting them, usually without the orders of the female half-elves, these male half-elves will wander around and be in a daze, which makes Zhao Yannian feel very speechless, but for the time being, Zhao Yannian does not plan to change this situation, these male half-elves still need to observe for a while to determine their future development direction.
"Aviva, one hundred points, Enid, ninety-nine points, Darcy, ninety-seven points, Lydia ninety-seven points......"
As Zhao Yannian read the name, one by one half-elf girls happily stepped forward and took the test paper and a small bag of candy from Zhao Yannian's hand.
Most of the exam questions are about the common language and general knowledge of the mainland, as well as some simple math problems, and the candy is made by Zhao Yannian with seasonal fruits and milk purchased along the way.
These fruity and sweet sweets are very popular with the half-elf girls, and recently the half-elf girls have been trading candy for each other when they gather to study every night.
As the half-elf girl scattered after receiving the candy, the adult half-elf who had been standing not far away walked over.
"My lord, I have a question for you."
Most of the half-elves in the northern counties are mixed with humans and forest elves, and the height of adult half-elves is about one meter seven, and their figure is better than that of forest elves, but in the aesthetics of humans, they still look too thin.
Zhao Yannian looked at the female elf in front of him, but there was still a hint of awe, and a smile appeared on his face.
"If there's anything you want to ask, just say it."
"My lord, I wonder what the use of these things we have learned?"
The half-elf looked left and right at his companion before he mustered up the courage to ask.
"That's not what you want to ask, is it?"
Zhao Yannian was not surprised to hear this question.
"It's not......
It was the elder who wanted to ask, and when the two Great Elders asked Elder Schilling before, Elder Celine refused to say, so he asked me to ask the lord.
"The half-elf didn't hide it from Zhao Yannian, after more than ten days of getting along, the half-elves already knew that their lord was not a stupid person.

"The answer to this question was actually given to you when I started teaching you knowledge, the more knowledge you have, the more you can do, my territory is now in ruins, there are many places that need manpower, but these manpower needs to have enough knowledge to be competent."
Zhao Yannian explained to the half-elf with a smile.
"My lord, are we the only ones learning knowledge, or are all the people in your realm learning?"
The half-elf asked.
"Of course it's all the people, isn't that fair?"
After Zhao Yannian finished saying this, he didn't wait for the half-elf to continue questioning, and turned to leave.
The half-elf hurriedly found the elder who was resting, and repeated what Zhao Yannian said word for word.
After hearing the word fairness, the two elders looked at each other, and their originally frowning brows suddenly loosened, and a smile crept up on their faces.
"It seems that this lord deserves our refuge in him."
An elder said with a smile.
"Hmm."
The other elder nodded.
"Pass on my orders, from today onwards, all half-elves must obey the orders of the lord, and after arriving in the territory, the two of us will no longer be the elders of the half-elf village."
One of the elders turned to the half-elves who were bowing their heads and waiting for orders.
"Don't be surprised, fairness is already the lord's greatest favor for us.
As long as we can not be plundered and oppressed, we can definitely get happiness with our hands.
The other elder said to the half-elf woman who was surprised and a little unrefreshed.
Zhao Yannian didn't know the movements of the half-elf clan, and now he was sitting with the old magician talking.
"Teacher, are you leaving?"
Hearing that the old magician was about to leave, Zhao Yannian hurried over.
"That's right, it's been so many days, if you don't hurry back, those guys at the magic school will be drinking the northwest wind this month."
The old magician said with a smile.
"Those guys aren't poor, it's so easy to drink the northwest wind there."
Although it was not easy to know that the old magician could spare such a long time to help him escort the team, Zhao Yannian still hoped that the old magician could take a look at his territory.
"I know what you mean, but my injuries keep me from leaving the Inner Realm, so I'm afraid I won't see your territory for the rest of my life."
The old magician gave the real reason for leaving.
"What does the Inner Realm have to do with soul injuries?"
Zhao Yannian didn't expect the old magician's injury to need to stay in the inner domain, so he asked a little strangely.
"You don't understand this explanation, Blake, you have to remember what I said next."
The old magician paused when he said this, and saw Zhao Yannian sitting up and sitting in danger before continuing to speak.
"Work hard to develop your territory, this time the orcs may not attack after more than ten years, maybe in three years, maybe five years they will invade the human race again, this time I am afraid that many people will die.
Your territory is on the orc's route to attack the Interior, so if you don't want your efforts to be ruined, do your best to grow your territory for the next few years.
In this way, even if you can't withstand the attack of the orcs, you can at least escape back to the inner realm. ” "Teacher?
How did you hear these messages?
Zhao Yannian asked in surprise.
The old magician waved his hand, turned around, left a word that he could not say, and drifted away.
