the leaders looked at the lord scared from what will happen to them "my lord we don't know we were just ordered to leave with no explanation " to their surprise the lord wasn't angry with them "i see you don't know hmmmm did they figure out what i want to do so they thing that i will cooperate with you "

the leaders couldn't hear what the lord said but they didn't dare to ask a noble anything like that las looked at the leaders "so how many of you are there ?"

"we are around 2.000 my lord " las looked around to the people most of them seem to have families [so i need to build around a 1.000 homes but i need them , with their wood work i can use them to make swords spears and tools and i can repair the homes of the commoners for the winter ] las looked at alfred who was by his side " alfred do you have the number of cement bags we need to build around 1.000 homes or so ?"

alfred was surprised but slowly he had started to understand that the lord does weird things "my lord if you want to build homes made from cement and bricks we have all the cement we need but the bricks are a problem we can build around 600 of homes and it will take us another two months to have them all and this numbers are not the exact my lord the only bricks we have were the ones that you ordered to produce my lord we need time to build all the homes "

las looked at alfred "hmm i must talk with the man responsible for the brick production , but what are we going to do with them for now ? do you have any idea ? " alfred looked at the lord but he didn't speak

"let them rest in james castle the knight will be fine for just some days let them live in the main castle for this time give them more money for the months as compensation " alfred looked at the lord "ahhhh my lord don't you think that this is too much ? i will do as you command but aren't we doing too much "

las didn't answer he just smiled he looked at one of the knights "go and call me the man responsible for the brick production and say to him to calculate how many people he needs to produce enough bricks to build 500 houses in half a month " the knight saluted "as you command my lord"

alfred looked at the knights back "my lord 500? "

"of course we need to build 400 houses we don't know how big they will be , so lets say that we will need more than we think just to be safe "

it took some time for the calculation to be made but the numbers came las looked at the paper "so you need 200 more people and you need more materials ?"

"yes my lord "

" alright im going to send them in a week when an important building that i had order is finished the materials will come to you today you can go now" the man saluted and left

"i have a lot of work don't i " alfred looked at the lord " alfred handle the refuges for me , i must really give all of you a break shouldn't i "
