Chapter 392: Second meeting with the above (5)
"Is the total area of this danger zone and transition zone large?"
"It's big. It's about one-third the size of the other world, including the ocean."
“Is there no one at the beach?”
"No one has ever been here. The coastal areas where typhoons frequently land are completely dead zones. Only I dare to go there to pick up some seafood and then sell them to the nobles. I can make a lot of money."
"Wait, you showed up in the crowd to do business, and no one caught you?"
"They caught me, but they couldn't beat me." Ye Nai spread her hands, looking relaxed. "Originally, I was just setting up a stall on the street, but they insisted on arresting me. So I just went straight into the nobles' mansions to sell my goods. I didn't expect that they would welcome me to come again next time."
"what?!"
"Really."
As Ye Na said this, she took out a large stack of thick paper from the space. There were so many of them that she had to hold them in her arms to prevent them from falling to the ground.
Everyone took one out of curiosity. Even if they couldn't understand the words on it, they could guess what it was just by looking at the picture and text format.
They all stared at her in disbelief.
"Are you sure they really want you to come back next time? Do you understand what the words on the top mean?"
"It's a wanted warrant. What does that have to do with me? To me, isn't this a sign that you're welcome to come again?"
"……Uh?"
"It seems that there is nothing wrong..."
"There's nothing wrong with it. I've even gained a lot of loyal customers."
"A serious, loyal customer?"
"Of course it's serious. Among the nobles, there are stupid ones, and naturally there are smart ones. Although the first contact was not very pleasant, after a few more contacts, the relationship became harmonious. Their quality of life has also been significantly improved because of me, so why would they fight me to the death? They can't beat me, but if they really make me angry, then they'd better take turns to stand guard with two eyes at night."
An idea suddenly occurred to Vice Minister Su.
"Your door-to-door salesmanship is..."
Ye Na glanced at her with a smile.
"See through it but don't say it out loud."
Deputy Minister Su smiled and said nothing more.
Indeed, some things can be left tacitly understood.
The others were tactful and did not interrupt.
Ye Nai put the wanted poster in her arms back into the space, and also collected the ones in the hands of others.
"Let's go, let's go. Didn't you say you wanted to see the other prisoners? Bring your soy milk and let's go."
Everyone immediately found their own soy milk cup on the table. It was no longer hot and they could hold it steadily in their hands.
Yenne put away her things, opened the portal, and walked over first.
Everyone hurried to catch up and just in time saw Ye Nai repositioning the awning and the long table. They drank soy milk in the bright light while looking around.
This is also the edge of a farmland. There is a shadow above my head that does not look like the night sky. Upon closer inspection, I can see that it is a shade net used to shade the farmland from the sun.
"Look, this is the land where I sowed radish, cabbage and spinach seeds. I block the sunlight during the day to prevent it from affecting the germination of my seeds." "Are the tent area over there the former noble captives captured earlier?" asked Deputy Minister Fan, looking at the tents outside the sunshade net.
Seeing a small group of strangers appearing at the edge of the farmland, even though they were led by the terrifying demon witch, these former noble women and children still couldn't help but feel afraid and stood far away to watch.
Because they didn't affect Ye Nai, everyone was too lazy to pay attention to them. At most, they would glance at them curiously and then pay no more attention to them.
"Yes, they are all from the Kingdom of Selsa." Yenne nodded, "Duke, Baron, and the women and children of the knights."
"The men went to the battlefield, and the women and children were left at home, and then you ransacked their homes." Deputy Minister Su chuckled.
"There are not many prisoners here. Judging from the spacing between the tents, it seems that there are four families?" Deputy Minister Cheng of the Logistics Department made a direct visual estimate of the number of prisoners.
"There are three families. The Baron's family has a pair of illegitimate siblings. The elder sister has wizard talent. There were conflicts between them when they were at home. After being captured, the siblings lived independently. The one with the least number of tents belongs to the siblings."
"With such a small number of people, they have been able to open up such a large area of land. It's quite impressive."
"Forget it. They are so big, but they can't even turn the soil well. I have to use farm machinery to do deep plowing several times. Now I have planted the seeds and watered them with drip irrigation. I will let them stay far away and continue to cultivate the land. Otherwise, they will be blamed if my seeds don't sprout."
Everyone laughed, but they didn't think there was anything wrong with Ye Nai's approach. Some even thought her method was correct. People should not be left idle, as trouble would easily arise if they were idle.
At this time, the secretary of the logistics department interrupted.
"Ms. Yenai, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Please ask."
"How big is the internal conflict in the Baron family? After the siblings live independently, will they still have conflicts with them on a daily basis?"
"They make noise, but we don't fight. They are more likely to be sarcastic."
"What about their biological children? Will they quarrel as well?"
"They will make a fuss if someone uses too much water, or if someone doesn't refill the water immediately after using it. They will make a fuss over any trivial matter you can think of. It seems like they are not just making a fuss, but more like they are venting their emotions."
"To vent your emotions?"
"You are not happy with me. You are a noble from generation to generation. Your arrogance is ingrained in your bones. If you can't beat me, you can only blame me indirectly."
"Understandable."
The secretary nodded and typed on the laptop that was folded into a tablet, writing down everything Ye Nai said as a memo. When relocating the prisoners later, she would take the conflicts between them into consideration.
"Is there anything else you would like to remind me of?" the secretary asked, looking up.
"They are all large families with a large population. The main task of the wife is to give birth to an heir. One is not enough, so two are insurance. In order to protect the family's status, boys have to take turns to go to the battlefield. If the previous one dies, the next one will take over. In order to give birth to boys, they end up giving birth to a lot of children. The older children are separated and placed in more camps instead of being put together."
The secretary poked at the screen frantically and typed rapidly.
"They are very good at acting like nobles. Now it seems that Guai is frightened by me. Don't be scared by them when you take over."
“Once we have resettled them all, political cadres will come in later and they won’t be scared,” said Deputy Director Cheng of the Logistics Department, who did not disturb the quiet observers.
"Knowing that you have prisoners, we are already preparing to set up a temporary office to educate them," said Deputy Minister Su of the General Staff.
"Give it a good name, something direct." Ye Na said immediately.
"What suggestions do you have?" Everyone looked at her with interest to see what she had to say.
"Naturalization, use this word." Ye Na actually had an idea.
"Why?" everyone was curious.
