Ma Wen had already expected these refugees, but he didn't expect that the White River Valley would attract so many refugees at the start of the Cataclysm.
The sudden increase of more than a thousand people put a lot of pressure on the White River Valley.
Although the twelve Golden Bulls had a lot of food, when the number of people multiplied, the consumption rate became even faster.
Not to mention that this was only the beginning of the Cataclysm. Ma Wen believed that in the future, more and more people would enter the White River Valley.
In this new era, it was time to implement new rules.
Ma Wen thought for a while, waved his brush and ink, and immediately issued a new order.
Soon, every resident of the White River Valley received the order personally issued by Sir Ma Wen.
In this special period, the White River Valley's refuge began to implement new rules.
All personnel must complete the registration within two days from today onwards.
In the registration, there was a very important option: [Farming and Combat].
That's right, other than these two options, Ma Wen didn't give them any other professions.
This was because the White River Valley had already been filled with other professions. Whether it was blacksmiths, winemakers, or appraisers, these craftsmen had already filled the vacancies in the previous recruitment order.
Moreover, in this special period, these professions had become less important.
For a refuge to operate for a long time, there needed to be an endless supply of food and the power to protect the refuge.
The former was needless to say, the rations of so many refugees was enough to give Ma Wen a headache. As for the latter, if there was no one to protect it, no matter how powerful the Great Holy Spell and Great Prayer Spell were, they would eventually be exhausted.
The White River Valley seemed to be in a good location, but it was actually very close to the Wilderness.
During the Cataclysm, everyone heard the roar of the Beast King in the depths of the Wilderness.
That was a command to summon his subordinates.
Once the Beast King decided to attack Fernand, the monsters in the Wilderness would most likely rush out, and the White River Valley would be the first to bear the brunt.
In the current White River Valley, the high-end martial power was very powerful, but the core strength was still somewhat lacking.
Ma Wen needed soldiers, a lot of soldiers.
Perhaps they didn't have very strong individual combat abilities, but they made up for it with numbers and cooperation, as well as improved equipment, and were capable of fighting against the low-level armies of the various major dimensions.
This was also why before the Cataclysm, he had instructed Anna and the others to poach many retired veterans and officers of the Northern Elite Mercenary Corps from Bass Harbor and other places.
This was going to be a long battle, and it was impossible for him to obtain the final victory by himself.
…
He had secretly checked, and it was similar to what he had expected. This group of more than a thousand refugees were mainly humans, but there were also some half-elves. However, they all had one thing in common: they were all strong and healthy.
This was actually a very cruel fact: the old, the weak, women and children were all eliminated in the process of migration and cataclysm.
Only the youngest and strongest members of a race could survive and reach the White River Valley.
But for Ma Wen, this was good news.
If he was not mistaken, not many people would choose to be farmers.
Not to mention their previous professions, in the new sanctuary system announced by Ma Wen, combat professionals were obviously higher than farmers. They could obtain more food, meat, and even ale, as well as priority in training. Their work was also more free, and they only needed to participate in the weekly hunting.
Moreover, Ma Wen promised that those who chose to fight would not be thrown out of the sanctuary to fend for themselves before they were trained into qualified warriors. This gave many people a peace of mind.
Moreover, these hot-blooded young people had too many friends or relatives who died in the hands of demonized monsters and demonized wizards.
They thirsted for revenge.
They would fight.
…
As expected, it only took a day before a statistical table was placed in front of Ma Wen.
"As you expected, most of them chose to fight."
Anna didn't look that happy, "To be honest, their courage is admirable, but we may not be able to nurture so many warriors."
"And we don't have that much equipment …"
Ma Wen blinked his eyes, "Don't worry, food and equipment will be available soon."
"Since they have made their choice, let them go through the most basic militia training."
"I have a copy of the new sanctuary chapter here. All the upper management of the White River Valley will come for a meeting tonight to improve it. If there are no problems, we will release it tomorrow."
The new sanctuary chapter was written by Ma Wen before the Cataclysm.
There was no doubt that extraordinary times required extraordinary things.
The sanctuary provided safety for everyone, but Ma Wen wouldn't feed these people for nothing. This would only make them lose their fighting spirit, and the White River Valley would be destroyed sooner or later.
In this new chapter, there was a new monetary system, reward and punishment system, the rules of the sanctuary, and the division of social classes in detail.
Ma Wen only wanted to protect this land and these people, but it didn't mean that he would give everyone the same treatment and status.
Blindly giving everyone freedom and equality was unfair.
Those who didn't contribute shouldn't receive their share. This was a simple logic.
Everyone's role in the sanctuary was different, and their status would be different as well.
The division of social classes was for the convenience of management, and it was also to encourage the lower class to move up. After all, under the new background and system, those who worked hard could still increase their status.
All in all, this new chapter of the fallout shelter was written by Marvin after careful consideration.
It would dictate the future direction of the White River Valley sanctuary.
It would be the future law of the White River Valley!
And the guarantee behind this law was Ma Wen's absolute strength, his complete control of the sanctuary, and people's recognition of him.
…
At night, when everyone had gathered, Anna explained the new chapter to everyone.
The higher-ups of White River Valley also expressed their own opinions. However, Ma Wen's new chapter was indeed comprehensive. After they added a few details, they more or less settled on the new chapter.
The next day, the new chapter was released, and the entire White River Valley was in an uproar.
After everyone read it, there were many voices of dissatisfaction.
Especially regarding the classification of social classes.
This caused a lot of people to be dissatisfied. Many of these people were refugees who escaped from various places.
"Why are the original residents of the White River Valley on the same level as us who risked our lives to fight? And the people who chose to work as farmers are at the bottom? "
"That's right, why can those people manage us?"
"Didn't Master Ma Wen advocate for freedom and fairness? What's the difference between him and those high and mighty gods if he does this? "
