The pep rally at dinner time was just as Lu Cheng had imagined.
As Her Majesty the Queen, Elena took the initiative to tell the refugees some of the rules in this camp. The first rule was that participating in labor would get more food.
In addition to the most basic supply of white porridge and steamed buns, workers can exchange for food coupons and daily coupons, which are "general equivalents" circulating in the camp every day.
It also emphasized that this asylum would only last until the end of winter, at which time only refugees who worked in the camp would be able to apply to stay.
In the labor plan description, Lu Cheng asked Elena to emphasize that it was "voluntary participation". If she didn't want to, she could stay in the tent until the end of winter, but she would have to eat less delicious food every day.
Lu Cheng observed that when the refugees heard that they were going to participate in the work of reclaiming the fields, many of them showed worried expressions on their faces.
After all, many of the people present were born serfs, and they had no good memories of reclaiming land. Moreover, it was already winter, and most people were unwilling to work in the cold wind.
But when Elena mentioned that all the work was voluntary, the expressions on everyone's faces changed from worry to surprise.
Lu Cheng could understand their thoughts, probably thinking things like "My Lord, are you in your right mind?" and "Who would go if it's voluntary?"
"Registration is open now. Does anyone want to participate?" After Elena finished her explanation, she asked the refugees present.
None of the 310 refugees sitting below responded. Perhaps they were afraid of being exploited by the nobles, so they didn't believe what they signed up for. Everything that happened afterwards was "voluntary" on their part.
Lu Cheng stood behind the crowd and thought for a while, then took out a pen, wrote a line on a whiteboard and held it up so that Elena could see it.
"Those who sign up today can get an extra meat bun for dinner."
Elena's eyesight was very good. She saw the words written on Lu Cheng's whiteboard at first glance and read them out loud.
"Can I have a meat bun?"
Elena was asking Lu Cheng this question, but this question was not suitable to be asked in a public speech.
Her statement was not so much a speech error as it was a complete lack of awareness of the problem.
"Everyone, I have decided to participate in the reclamation plan." Elena spoke out and gave an answer that shocked the refugees below.
The new queen of Skarre is working in the fields! Even if you tell them this as a joke, they will never believe it.
But this was General Hubert's advice to Elena. General Hubert followed Elena to this camp to protect Elena's safety on the one hand... On the other hand, the old general wanted to learn more skills from the rabbits.
Given the current situation of the Kingdom of Skare, the technology of farming and building houses is undoubtedly the most important.
"Your Majesty, let us carry out the reclamation plan for you." General Hubert stood up and said loudly at this time.
General Hubert was also a popular general in the country of Scarre. He decided to go to the fields to work, causing the refugees to whisper again.
Perhaps it was the encouragement from the Queen, or the temptation from the meat buns, but gradually one or two refugees stepped forward and were willing to take part in the reclamation plan, and the number eventually increased to seventy-three people.
This was less than one-third of the total number of refugees, and mobilizing so many people was beyond Lu Cheng's expectations.
Among the refugees who had volunteered to participate in the reclamation plan, Lu Cheng saw the figure of a young man named Derek. He was the first one to step forward.
“It will take time to ferment.”
Lu Cheng looked at the refugees still sitting below. They were simply afraid or lazy. It would take time to make them realize that labor is the most glorious thing.
The evening mobilization meeting ended quickly, and the refugees returned to their camps under the guidance of the soldiers.
Lu Cheng also returned to her dormitory with Elena, who got a meat bun as she wished.
"The old general who follows you seems to want you to learn other things." Lu Cheng said to Elena halfway.
Lu Cheng naturally saw through Hubert's thoughts, but he didn't mind sharing some knowledge with them.
"For example, how to tame a ferocious beast called a vehicle?" When Elena heard Lu Cheng mention this, her eyes lit up in an instant.
"I can only teach you how to drive after you learn our language," Lu Cheng said.
"Chinese...wen, are you here to teach me?" Elena said as she finished the last piece of bun in her hand.
Lu Cheng looked at the Queen's greasy mouth and took out a napkin he carried with him and handed it to her.
Elena took it in her hand and naturally used it as a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth, but after wiping, she wanted to return the napkin to Lu Cheng.
"This is a disposable item. Throw it here after use." Lu Cheng pointed to the special garbage recycling facilities in the camp.
“It feels like such a waste.”
Although Elena said this, she still threw it into the trash can.
"Don't worry about that. Besides, I'm not the one teaching you Chinese. You can consider math, physics and chemistry."
While Lu Cheng was talking to Elena, he had already arrived at the door of her room.
"Mathematics...physics...physics...chemistry? What courses are those?" Elena read out the last three Chinese characters that Lu Cheng said with great difficulty.
"This is a course that will allow you to peek into the truth of the world. If you learn and master it, this country... no, the whole world will be yours."
There was no exaggeration in Lu Cheng's words. If Elena could master mathematics, physics and chemistry, no one in this medieval world would be able to rival her and her country.
"Is that some technique for communicating with the gods?"
When Elena heard the words "peeping into the truth", they seemed like a skill to communicate with some god.
"This needs to be explained after you really start learning."
When Lu Cheng finished saying this, Elena had already taken out the key and opened the door of the room.
The moment the door of the room was opened, Lu Cheng saw Nuoyi jumping on the bed.
The little girl had just been taken away by the magazine to take a bath. Now she was staying in the room, clean and tidy. Maybe she was too excited, so she started jumping on the bed.
The moment Nuoyi saw Lu Cheng, her petite body seemed to be frozen in ice. She carefully got off the bed and smoothed out the wrinkled quilt on the bed with her hands.
"This is your bed, you can do whatever you want with it, but if you keep jumping on it like this, it will break."
Lu Cheng knew that Nuoyi was afraid that he would punish her, so he didn't speak too harshly, and she nodded obediently.
After comforting Noi, Lu Cheng turned his attention to the marmot standing on the desk, the daughter of the crystallization of the Gemansis Secret Society.
Lu Cheng came here just to find the daughter of the crystal.
"You... don't try to get anything out of me anymore! Unless you send someone to send me to the Kingdom of Xiuenzhelai!"
Once again, Charlotte made the woodchuck move as if preparing for a fight.
"Unfortunately, we don't have the manpower to take you home at the moment."
Of course, this sentence was made up by Lu Cheng. The identities mentioned by this groundhog were most likely true. She was an excellent way for Lu Cheng to communicate with the Gemansis Secret Society.
