Chapter 233 Hope Village's Next Action

Hope Village.

Zhou Bai didn't know that Fasal Village had sent someone, even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

After all, she knows very well that with the rise of the territory, there will be more and more interest disputes with other territories. In the end, it depends solely on whether a territory can keep its "property".

At least for now, she has confidence in Hope Village.

Because, after the promotion of Hope Village, the naked eye can see that it is stronger.

It was too late for everyone to deal with the beast horde yesterday. Although they learned about the new layout of Hope Village, they didn't know much about the new buildings.

So early in the morning, just after waking up, many people went up and down to visit the territory again.

And when they were visiting, Zhou Bai also took Bayer to walk around in the territory.

She also wanted to see with her own eyes what she had created, and by the way, get a general idea of ​​the current situation in the territory.

The first place Zhou Bai and Bayer went to was the mission center and mercenary center.

It can be said that the function of the mission center is actually the same as that of the Hall of Valor and the Temple of the Beast, both of which belong to the summoning category.

The difference is that what the mission center summons is any mercenary and mercenary team on the continent of Stan.

Therefore, after entering the mission center, you can see that there is a teleportation array in the center.

"When do you think it's appropriate for our territory to hire mercenaries from other territories?" Zhou Bai asked Bayer.

Now that the development of Hope Village has entered a relatively rapid stage, coupled with the fact that some people from the orc side have spontaneously sought refuge, she has indeed reduced the summons of the undead and orcs. One is to control costs, and the other is that she feels that the investment is not directly proportional to the harvest. .

But this new special building and mission center is different. They are connected with other territories of the human kingdom, and the summoning is basically a single mission.

And mercenaries are the most unstable profession in the world, because the territory they choose to work in is generally the territory that brings them benefits, so they are also the most mobile.

Just like those mercenary teams in the small town of Benguela, they are all contributing to the goods of Hope Village in different territories now!

Their existence makes Hope Village less difficult to sell commodities.

But now, if the mission can be released through the mission center, the communication channels between Hope Village and the outside world will increase instantly. Zhou Bai is looking forward to it in his heart, but he is not sure when it will be suitable?
"The village chief can do whatever he thinks is appropriate." Bayer said without hesitation, looking at Zhou Bai with affirmation.

Zhou Bai: "..."

She found it out, and now that the territory has arrived, basically no one will object to what she does, but will strongly support it.

One is that she is a hidden lord, and the other is that she proved her decision with the development of Hope Village.

Thinking about it, Zhou Bai nodded without saying anything, and then took Bayer to the second location.

Compared with the mission center where only a few people join in to watch the building, the mercenary center at this time is really crowded.

Because there was no such building in their previous territory, the team was mainly formed spontaneously, and the personnel would still flow.

But with the mercenary center, they can form a formal mercenary team.

Who doesn't like being able to form your own power in an open and aboveboard manner!

"Over here, people from the Tyrant Tigers came here to register."

"On the left is individual registration, and on the right is team registration, please don't mess it up!"

"Haha, after registration, I will be an official mercenary."

"Yes, I heard that official mercenaries can not only accept missions from their own territory, but also missions from other territories!"

"Actually, if there is a chance, I would like to visit other territories."

"me too!"

"I just don't know how to rate mercenaries? Do you look at the level?"

"I don't know, just enter the rating room later. I think most of them are just junior mercenaries."

"Let's take it step by step!"

"I heard that not only mercenaries can be rated as mercenaries, but also magicians. Even, dual-line occupations are more popular in the mercenary market."

"Then let me register by the way!"

"It is 100 copper coins to register an identity."

"It's just 200 copper coins! It's a small idea."

"It costs 100 silver coins to form a team, plus personnel registration, it will cost a lot of money."

"That's a must. If there is no requirement, there are mercenary teams everywhere. Why do mercenary teams look special?"

"..."

Hearing this, Bayer glanced at Zhou Bai, he thought...

"The money that other territories charge, our territory will naturally also have to collect money." Zhou Bai said directly, she wasn't really kind enough.

From the low price of first-class residential buildings to the price control of the entire territory, she just hopes that the residents of the territory can live in peace and stay in her own territory. After all, there is no one in a territory.

But now, Hope Village has become a level 3 village, and the surrounding residents are still being attracted. The treatment she gave to the residents before remains the same, but it doesn't mean that she will still "lose money" in everything.

The development of Hope Village needs money.

Although this time the territorial war was won, she had wasted hundreds of gold coins and countless resources before winning.

This is the village-level war. In the future, the town-level, city-level... will need a lot of financial and material support.

There is also the salary of soldiers and staff in the territory.

Everything needs money, so how could she not earn the money she should earn!
So after knowing that there are charging options for mercenary grading and registration, she chose to charge without hesitation.

Grading: 100 copper coins/person.

Registration: 500 copper coins/person.

Team: 100 silver coins.

After all, there are absolutely no shortage of professionals in the territory and people who form teams.

"The village head is doing the right thing." Bayer couldn't help saying, Zhou Bai's performance always surprises him inadvertently.

"Everything is for the territory." Standing in this position, Zhou Bai could only try his best to make himself think in the long term, and he kept pondering, overturning, and pondering all by himself.

Fortunately, she hid her identity as the lord early in the morning. Even if some people guessed it, she chose not to say it because of her concealment, so she was able to develop the territory according to her own ideas.

Even if her approach tends to be conservative, so what, as long as the stability of this territory can be maintained, isn't it enough?

"What the village head thinks is not a way out." Bayer said seriously.

Focus on defense, supplemented by offense.

It's not that there is no territory to walk such a road, it's just that they often disappear halfway through.

But he felt that Hope Village could do it.

Who let me hope that the village has money!
Not only do you have money, but you can also make money.

Combining the two, others will not be able to walk, and Hope Village may not be impossible.

Of course, if it really doesn't work, as long as Hope Village has money, even if the strength is damaged, you can change another road.

It is because of this kind of thinking that Bayer is not worried at all.

Zhou Bai's thoughts were recognized, and he couldn't help but smile.

Then the attention returned to the mercenary center.

At this time, the individual and group lists of mercenaries have been registered one after another.

Zhou Bai was also looking at the list of these groups to understand the current power of Hope Village.

Name/Captain/Number
Beast Mercenary Squad/Zhong Yongnian/424
Storm Mercenaries/Alice/312
Kara Mercenaries/Maria/201
Holy Fire Mercenaries / Watt / 287
Happy Mercenary Team/Yun Juncai/90
The Mercenary Team of the World/Zhang Wenhan/335
Beast Mercenaries/Antonio/298
……

As can be seen from the group list, there are not many mercenary teams in the territory now.

Most of them were Zhou Bai's familiar figures, and the rest were not very familiar to Zhou Bai. They should have joined the mercenary team of Hope Village recently.

After all, seven or eight mercenary teams have joined Hope Village from the small town of Benguela alone. Although a few teams have left to do business, when they come back, the number of mercenary teams in the territory will continue to increase.

But even though he didn't know each other, Zhou Bai could check their contribution value in Hope Village through the lord's panel, and he could know their "performance" in Hope Village through the milestones of their contribution.

At least those who can become the captain of the mercenary team are relatively high in contribution among the residents, but many of them are obviously added recently, which means that they have relatively brave roles in this territorial war and the beast tide. Performance.

Not bad.

Bayer also noticed Zhou Bai's concern for the mercenary team, and said directly: "Next, there are some tasks that the village head can entrust to them. Similarly, they can also be sent to other territories, that is, they will be recruited. Risk, especially the mercenaries who cultivate both demons and bodies."

This is also a reminder for Bayer.

Hope Village has attracted many residents from the surrounding area. Although there are many professionals, these professionals are basically based on physical strength.

But the original Blue Star residents in Hope Village are different, each of them is a magician, such mercenaries are popular in any territory, and there will definitely be a bigger team to recruit.

"I can't stop those who want to run, but I believe and hope that the village can keep them." Zhou Bai said.

Although she has not been in contact with many territories now, in fact, it can be seen from the few words of others that other territories attach great importance to hierarchical status. Unless they are of the privileged class, there is absolutely no comfort in other territories.

As for the other blue star territories, she must have treated the residents like this, but what about the rankings!Now Hope Village is far ahead among all the territories. No matter how they develop, it is a fact that Hope Village is not strong enough.

Not to mention that people from Hope Village have gone to these places. If some people from these places have the opportunity, they will come to Hope Village eagerly to have a look!
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai's heart became more determined.

"In this case, it is indeed a good choice to let them go around, but with their current level, I am afraid that there are not many tasks that can be accepted, and the income is also low."

Mercenary is the profession with the most professionals on the mainland of Stan. Because the threshold is relatively low, the competition is also very fierce.

Hope that the mercenary team of Hope Village received preferential treatment inside and outside the territory, and they may not be able to see the benefits of that point.

"I don't know about other mercenary teams, but the original mercenary team in the territory will be willing to venture out." Zhou Bai said with a smile. For them, the money they get is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to understand the world .

Because, she thought so too.

It's just that she has an extra territory on her body after all, and she can't act rashly until Hope Village is completely established.

After all, her lord died outside, and no one knows how the territory will be reduced, so she should take it easy!

Her strength is really not enough to look at outside.

Bayer listened, and thought of the peculiarities of the residents with the same background as Zhou Bai, and understood what she meant.

In fact, it is more beneficial for the territory for the residents to venture out.

From his experience, there are not many tier-3 villages or even tier-1 and tier-2 towns that can match the living environment of Hope Village.

With their going out by then, the reputation of Hope Village will only get higher and higher.

As long as people from other territories are willing to understand, or come to have a look at the things in Hope Village, it is possible to settle in Hope Village.

Then the population flowing into the Hope Village will continue to flow, which will help improve the strength of the Hope Village.

After all, no matter which territory, population is linked to strength.

As the two talked, they were already walking out, ready to go to the next location.

However, thinking of the problem of population inflow, Bayer thought of the reality of Hope Village, and said directly: "Speaking of which, the population may continue to flow in in the near future. The territorial war has been decided, and Hope Village's ranking in the Stan mainland has jumped by 1000 consecutively. There are many people, it will definitely attract attention. Next, the mercenary team that went out from Hope Village and the honor team from the capital must have sold out Hope Village’s products. Many territories and individual groups may be interested in Hope Village. , so come to Hope Village."

"Well, so I will increase investment in hotels and commercial streets depending on the situation, to prepare for their arrival." Zhou Bai nodded.

The arrival of these territories is bound to inject new vitality into the economy of Hope Village.

"It would be better if some nobles could be attracted to stay here. The nobles like to enjoy themselves and are willing to spend money on it. The living environment can be improved." Bayer continued, "There are a lot of vacant land in the territory, maybe we can set aside a special area as a It is dedicated to leisure and entertainment, and can also vigorously develop the chess and card room.”

Hope Village also has a chess and card room, but most of the people in the territory are running around for their livelihood, so they don't want to spend their time on it. Although the business is good, they are still doing small things.

But he is still keenly aware of the "addiction" in it, and the nobles are probably willing to spend a lot of money for it!

Zhou Bai paused, and took a deep look at Bayer.

This one, who is not in modern times, can still see the allure of "casino"!

This thing can indeed be done.

"Okay, I will include it in the next development plan." Zhou Bai replied.

Bayer will not say much here, the chess and card room is the product of Lord Lord and the others, and they must know how to use it better than them.

After this matter was finished, the two went to the tailor shop and the blacksmith shop.

This time, both buildings have an additional auxiliary building.

The textile workshop of the tailor shop and the advanced alchemy workshop of the blacksmith shop.

Diana and Harrison knew that Zhou Bai would come to inspect, so they came out immediately.

Diana was as gentle as ever, but Harrison had a rare smile on his lips.

Zhou Bai didn't say anything about it, so he led the two of them into the weaving workshop.

The textile mill exists like a factory, but compared to their self-built factory, it has all the tools for assembly line operations, and can even be connected to the warehouse. The textile mill needs raw materials, so they get them from the warehouse, and the finished products after production , and then import it into the warehouse, and then send it from the warehouse to the tailor shop. The whole process is a little more orderly, and the raw material data of the territory can be monitored.

"I'm ready to put the apprentices I have learned before into the workshop, and then recruit new apprentices. At that time, the production of equipment will be able to form a large scale, not only self-sufficient, but even sold to the outside world." Diana said with a smile , She has completely gotten used to life in Hope Village, so she naturally hopes that Hope Village will do well, and by the way, earn more money for Hope Village and herself.

"Okay, let's decide together."

After speaking, he went directly to the advanced alchemy workshop behind the blacksmith shop.

This time, it was Harrison in his early days.

Harrison couldn't be more satisfied with this new workshop.

Because in his original dwarf territory, he was not qualified to touch such a high-level alchemy workshop.

But now!But let him enjoy it alone.

"Master Village Chief, I'm ready to start large-scale production of the territory's weapons, whether it's arrows or others, with this alchemy workshop, as long as there are enough raw materials, I can manufacture whatever the territory needs." It was Harrison's promise to Zhou Bai.

"If we were fighting in the dwarven territory, would you be willing to make weapons?" Zhou Bai asked abruptly.

In fact, for the military factory, Zhou Bai already had an idea after facing a strong enemy this time, and the advanced alchemy workshop he obtained by accident happened to solve this problem in advance.

However, she still needs to confirm one thing, that is, whether Harrison's intention is in the territory or in the dwarves.

After all, she couldn't guarantee that there would be a day when she didn't encounter the dwarf territory in the future. If the production of military weapons was completely in Harrison's hands, what would happen if he lost the chain here to fight against the dwarf territory.

Harrison's smile froze because of Zhou Bai's words, but what he had to admit was that Zhou Bai's words were based on the actual situation. Although he now recognized Hope Village, he still had a heart for his dwarf kingdom. If it's an ordinary dwarf territory, maybe he can be ruthless, but if it's his original dwarf territory!There are his relatives and friends there, can he be cruel?
The corner of his mouth twitched, and Harrison finally took the initiative to speak, "I am willing to work for Hope Village. I can't guarantee the situation you said, Mr. Village Chief. The blacksmith shop and the alchemy workshop, Mr. Village Chief, find someone to manage it with me. ! When encountering the situation that the village chief said, I will not act."

Zhou Bai listened, surprised for a moment, this was what she planned to say, but Harrison said it himself, then nodded, "Just do as you said, I will recruit suitable candidates in the future, but they come After that, you are the master and they are the assistants."

"Yeah." Harrison nodded.

Looking at this advanced alchemy workshop, I felt a little awkward.

But Zhou Bai looked around seriously, and asked, "What is the highest level of weapons that can be manufactured in such a workshop?"

"Advanced alchemy workshops have a bonus effect on weapon manufacturing. As long as the materials can keep up, gold weapons can be mass-produced. If I am promoted to an intermediate blacksmith, platinum can be expected. I will soon become an intermediate blacksmith." , Harrison's spirit recovered a bit, and Hope Village relied on him as a blacksmith. He was busy day and night, and his experience value naturally increased quickly.

In a few days, he must be an intermediate blacksmith.

"What kind of ores do you need? You can place tasks in the mission center, and the rewards will come from the territory." Zhou Bai said directly. Judging from the current situation of Hope Village, it is difficult to collect enough ores. Naturally, it is easier to offer rewards from the outside world. up.

"Okay." Harrison responded immediately, and then seemed to think of something, and continued: "I hired a group of goblins. They are also very capable of doing things and have a talent for making weapons."

The dwarves have a well-developed manufacturing industry and need a lot of ore. They often capture and buy goblins, but they are all allowed to mine and mine. After all, they have a large number of dwarves. Now it's an unexpected discovery.

Zhou Bai was quite surprised to hear that.

Thinking about Dunlop's report before, Zhou Bai nodded, "As long as you are all willing, I have no problem."

She believed that when it came to prospecting for mines, Patriarch Mills would definitely send out the most talented ones.

If she was just looking for it, she would have to hide it, otherwise she would be making a wedding dress for someone else.

As for the next step, the most important thing is the origin of the limestone.

After chatting for a few more words, Zhou Bai and Bayer left.

Looking at Zhou Bai's back, Harrison sighed.

What happened today, he realized more and more that the past has nothing to do with him. He is an undead, a resident of Hope Village, and he can no longer be a dwarf of the dwarves.

Diana looked at Harrison, and said directly: "The lord has been tolerant enough to you. If you are placed in another territory, you can only become a tool in the hands of others, or retreat to the kingdom of the dead."

"I understand." That's why I made the choice just now.

Seeing that Harrison understood, Diana didn't say anything more.

Zhou Bai and Bayer, who had left, had already gone to the library.

The current library is only elementary, with some books attached, filling the bookshelves on the first floor, and many of them have already borrowed books on site.

"These books cost a lot of money, right?" Bayer was a little surprised to see so many books.

"Yes, the bookshelves on this floor cost me more than 1000 gold coins, covering the basic situation of the Stan continent, the history of different races, and the origins of various occupations, etc. These are useful to the territory and residents, except for the residents who borrow In addition, it will be needed for the start of the school in the territory." Zhou Bai said, if it wasn't for this, she would not be willing to spend so much money in one go.

It hurts!
Although money comes quickly from the territory now, it also costs a lot.

Since the territory was upgraded, roads were built, buildings were unlocked, and new buildings were built, it cost thousands of dollars.

Of course, it was also because she was promoted that she was willing to spend so much.

"The village chief attaches great importance to education?" Bayer knew Zhou Bai's temperament, and he would spend the money that should be spent, and spend the money that should not be spent.

Being able to take out more than 1000 gold coins to buy books is really costing money.

When I heard her mentioning school again, I knew her main purpose.

"There is an old saying in our place, no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education! If this area is done well, then our territory will have a lot of talents cultivated by ourselves." Zhou Bai said directly, "In addition, it can also open up the wisdom of the people, and there are still many in the territory. People can't read words."

"This kind of thing is very common in the mainland of Stan. I also learned to read after I became a professional, and I have suffered a lot. If only..." It would be great if I could encounter such a territory earlier.

But Bayer is well aware that it's unlikely.

People at the bottom are illiterate and do not understand some truths, which makes it easier for the lord to control the territory.

"It will change in the future." Zhou Bai said, not only her territory, but other Blue Star territories will also do the same.

Now Zhou Bai really hopes that other Blue Star Territories are also on the rise, and when the time comes to attack the entire continent together, I hope that the village will not be so conspicuous.

"Yeah." Bayer nodded. In fact, the appearance of Hope Village is already changing the world.

Next, after Zhou Bai and Bayer wandered around the territory, they finally arrived at the market.

The bazaar is also starting to be vacant at the moment, but there are already many people wandering in it, looking here and there, obviously they are preparing for renting market stalls.

When they saw Zhou Bai and Bayer, their eyes lit up instantly.

Immediately surrounded him.

"Master Village Chief, when will the market attract business?"

"Is the price expensive?"

"Is it for sale? Or for lease?"

"Can I book in advance?"

"..."

Most of the people who asked Zhou Bai were residents of Blue Star.

It is easier for them to see the business opportunities in places like the bazaar. As long as they can occupy a place, they can easily make a lot of money when caravans come in the future.

Even if there is no suitable product, they can grab it and sublease it to others, which is a steady investment.

"There will be specific plans in the next two days, you just need to pay attention to the territory announcement." Zhou Bai said directly.

She visited today, in addition to understanding the territory, she was also preparing to make a foundation in her heart, and then introduced a series of corresponding measures.

I was already full of confidence in the market, and now I have a bottom.

There is really no shortage of rich people in their own territory!
"Really can't..."

"No, this is the arrangement of the territory. If it is possible to book in advance, how about I book it myself, and I will book it for someone I know?" Zhou Bai asked back.

Hearing Zhou Bai's words, the inquirer felt a little embarrassed, and quickly said, "No, no, I'll wait for news."

Seeing this, Zhou Bai didn't say much, and left with Bayer, and then continued to walk through the entire territory, measuring Hope Village not only from the map, but also from reality.

And the fact that she and Bayer walked around Hope Village was noticed by many people.

Based on the past development of Hope Village, these people already had guesses in their minds.

That is, after the territory is promoted, there will be new actions soon.

Therefore, whether it is the Blue Star residents, the aborigines who have joined the Hope Village, or the newly joined goblins, they are always paying attention.

They are very clear that Hope Village's next actions are closely related to their future lives.
