The game is coming: I rely on the construction of the territory as a charter woman

After letting go of the doomsday issue, the three of them returned to the topic.

"Limestone is very important for the future construction of our territory. Except for the cement factory, other people can't get it. Even the cement factory must strictly control every link, so that no one has the opportunity to smuggle in." Zhou Bai continued to face Bayer Confession.

Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens.

She really didn't want her to go through such hard work only to end up being used as a wedding dress for someone else.

"Yeah." Bayer nodded. He also knew how important cement was in the territory now.

"There is also the Penglai Village that Baron Charlotte mentioned just now..." Zhou Bai opened the lord's control panel when he was talking, and saw Penglai Village at a place relatively low in the ranking. "It is currently 2 It is a level 3 village, but according to Baron Charlotte, its strength has already far surpassed level [-], but its ranking seems very reasonable, I don’t know what method it used to escape the system’s detection.”

What worried Zhou Bai even more was how many Penglai villages remained in these territories.

Fortunately, she herself was delighted that her territory won the first place.

Unexpectedly, it was hidden by others, but he showed everything.

Do you want to hide it too...

As soon as the idea popped up, Zhou Bai also suppressed it.

Different.

At the beginning, Hope Village's development direction was different from theirs. Only by showing its "goodness" can Hope Village attract more and more tourists.

It is hoped that the village has developed to this stage, if it hides its strength, it will be dangerous.

It is better to continue the original path.

"Speaking of this matter, I have something that I haven't given to the lord." Bayer listened from the side and spoke suddenly.

"what?"

The next moment, Bayer took out a whole stack of documents and handed them to Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai flipped through the pages, surprise flashing across his eyes, "Bayer, when did you prepare these?"

What Bayer gave Zhou Bai was information about each territory. These territories are all level 3 villages open to the outside world. Among them, the native territories have the largest number. The information includes basic information such as their population, specialty products, and geographical location.

The first one connected these territories together through the map.

Although there are only a few of them at present, it can be predicted from these that if most of the territories are collected, the map of the entire human kingdom will be unfolded from here.

She had been very curious about the territory of the human kingdom and other kingdoms before, but after asking about many local territories, most of the people knew only a little about their own territory.

Some people know only a small part, and it is difficult to connect. And many of those who are connected are unwilling to disclose relevant information, because that information is wealth to them.

But now, their territories acted on their own, even if only part of them.

Bayer smiled, "It's mainly done by the Xiaoyao Mercenary Team. You said before, Lord Lord, that you want to know information about other territories, so I sent this task down. Yun Jun, the captain of the Happy Mercenary Team, found me and said Their mercenary team wanted to take up this task, so I handed over the bulk to him, saying that the income would be settled according to the number of territories they explored. I didn’t expect him to give me such a perfect answer sheet. This one was sorted out by them. , I will continue to add in the follow-up, in addition to their mercenary team, there are other professionals who have accepted the task, and these professionals are all part-time, which is even better, and we don’t have to draw too much manpower out.”

Hearing what Bayer said, Zhou Zhengping couldn't help but move closer to Zhou Bai and take a look. Looking at the outlined part, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Are there many mercenaries going to other territories from our current territory?" Zhou Bai asked.

Although the Xiaoyao mercenary team is the main force, the other mercenaries contribute a lot, right?

"There are a lot of mercenaries out there. At present, the number of mercenaries has reached 700. Some of them passed through other villages, and then went to the small towns and cities near these villages. Most of the people who went out have accepted the exploration mission. I believe, When they come back, the scope of our map will expand several times." When Bayer said, the whole person was a little excited.

This is a big event for any territory.

Listening to Bayer's description, Zhou Bai's eyes revealed a bit of yearning.

It's really nice to go to some magical cities and see them.

She wants to go too.

However, now that the territory is critical for a period of time, it is not easy for her to leave.

Wait for later!

"It's good to go out for a walk more." Saying that, Zhou Bai looked at Zhou Zhengping, "Father, the soldiers in the territory are also going to hunt and kill intermediate-level monsters near the town of Benguela alternately. Are you ready to level up when you come back?"

"I'm planning to do that!" Zhou Zhengping said directly, "However, if you're like this, will there be any complaints from the town of Benguela?"

"No, Earl Alcott of Benguela Town is still in Hope Village!" Zhou Bai said directly.

"He's in Hope Village?"

"Maybe he came here to ask for trouble at first, but I didn't know why I put it on hold for now, and I stayed in Hope Village because I was hooked by the food. Now I can see him in various food shops every day. He is quite I will enjoy it." Zhou Bai explained.

Zhou Zhengping listened, and frowned, he was still not at ease with these nobles.

"Is it a bad idea?"

"Maybe, but at least so far, he hasn't done anything." Zhou Bai said indifferently.

"That's right, I can only entertain." Zhou Zhengping said, and suddenly remembered the lord of Banes Village who had been eyeing him before. "Is there any movement over there?"

Zhou Bai did not answer. Bayer stood up and said, "The lord of Glasgow Village has sent people over. As expected, the two territories will reach an agreement in the near future. After that, the two territories will find an opportunity to carve up the village of Barnes together."

Zhou Zhengping listened, paused, and said nothing more.

When others want to take action, it is common sense for them to fight back.

Next, after Zhou Zhengping learned about the current situation of Hope Village, he already had a bottom line in his heart.

In just a few days, Hope Village has changed a lot.

But fortunately, it's all going in the right direction.

Afterwards, Zhou Zhengping left from the Lord's Mansion.

As a result, as soon as he left the lord's mansion, he met Li Xingteng who came to guard him.

Seeing Li Xingteng approaching him with a smile, Zhou Zhengping felt ominous.

This guy, didn't he come here on purpose, did he?

The next moment, Li Xingteng put his arms around Zhou Zhengping's shoulders. "I heard that you completed the mission very successfully. Congratulations!"

"It's okay." Zhou Zhengping said cautiously.

"You have gained a lot of contribution points, you will be promoted to five thousand soon, right?"

"Well, it's almost there." Zhou Zhengping nodded.

"Hey! I still envy you! Unlike me, in order to advance, my contribution has been less recently..." Li Xingteng continued.

Zhou Zhengping: "..."

Zhou Zhengping: "...Okay, I know you've been promoted to an intermediate professional, congratulations."

Finally hearing this from Zhou Zhengping, Li Xingteng was satisfied, and then said: "Haha, it's rare to be promoted earlier than you, so I naturally come to you to show off, but I still can't compare to you. After you bring back your limestone, you know the inside story." It’s all crazy now, the construction team, Bijiamu, went to the cement factory immediately, and the resort now needs a lot of cement to complete the final construction! I really look forward to the construction of the resort, and I have to go to enjoy it when the time comes. It's time to be together!"

Zhou Zhengping listened, and said "yes", but he was thinking of going with his own wife.

**
In the territory, it is true that due to the return of this batch of limestone, it has entered into intensive construction. The cement factory in Hope Village has started overtime production again. More and more limestone has been turned into cement and then transported back to the warehouse. , and then transported from the warehouse to the required construction site, such as a resort, such as a road.

Especially for the resort, after the initial run-in stage, the construction speed is getting faster and faster, coupled with sufficient materials, one after another buildings have sprung up in the resort.

In less than two days, the main structure of the resort has been completed, and the decoration stage has begun.

The original fence also began to withdraw, and the exquisite resort began to come into everyone's sight.

Antique buildings, old and beautiful, unique carvings, with a sense of time... Anyway, this unprecedented architectural style instantly made the resort the focus of attention of tourists.

"This building is really beautiful!"

"I've never seen that in other territories."

"And this house can be built so high? It's really rare in other village-level territories."

"It's not just that it's built high, but these towering buildings don't have any magical aura on them, which shows that this building didn't use magic to strengthen it, but relied on its own building materials to stand it up."

"Yeah, how on earth is this done?"

"I heard that it's because of the building materials that I hope the village produces."

"cement?"

"Yes, yes, that's it. At present, only Hope Village has this kind of building material. The walls of Hope Village and the new buildings all use this new type of material. The buildings made of this material are very strong. Those buildings protected by magic circles are worse."

“Is this building for sale?”

"No, Hope Village is only for self-use at present, but several territories seem to have reached an agreement with the territory, and they need to provide shells to buy cement from Hope Village."

"Shells? Can shells be used to make cement? Is Hope Village just telling others the raw materials?"

"Yes! Hope Village has never hidden this."

"But shells are also rare! Except for some saltwater lakes, there are only seas, but that is the territory of the dragon clan, and those who are not holy-level professionals dare not set foot in it easily. If they are caught by the dragon clan, they will be caught by them. Those captured as slaves, the Dragon Clan also loves to capture humans, and if you want to get out from there, you have to spend a lot of gold coins."

"Are you so clear?"

"This cement is very exciting! The effect is so strong, if I can buy it, I can sell it ten times and a hundred times, believe it or not!"

"letter!"

"..."

Similar remarks sounded near the resort.

The rise of holiday resorts has deepened people's impression that cement is a good thing.

Many nobles came after hearing the news.

Although they came to Hope Village to see how this territory could make a fortune in a short period of time, after arriving, they were really attracted by the life here.

During this time, I would come here every day and go back at night.

Who made the accommodation environment in Hope Village really uncomfortable for nobles like them.

When I came to Hope Village today, I heard countless people discussing the news that the resort is about to be completed. In addition, these people boasted about the resort so well, so they naturally came here.

But after actually seeing the resort, they really felt that what they heard before was true.

There is something about this resort.

That small watchtower-like building is actually seven stories high. Standing next to you, you can see the entire scene of Hope Village in your eyes. This is definitely an excellent viewing spot.

Of course, what caught them the most was the height of the building.

They have known for a long time that the concrete made of cement is good for the defense of the city wall, but what they didn't expect was that this cement can also be made into such a tall building, and even if they don't feel any magical fluctuations on it, it means They can also use this building material to build multi-storey buildings without magic.

How much effort was saved.

Come to think of it, no matter how expensive cement is, it is not as expensive as the investment in the magic circle.

"Is it true that the cement in Hope Village is not for sale?" a lord couldn't help but ask.

I was originally interested in cement, but now I am even more interested.

But what they all know is that the cement in Hope Village has never been sold. They even thought about buying off the staff, but the end result is the same. No one agrees. In addition to unwillingness, there is no corresponding channel at all. .

After a long time, they temporarily let go.

After all, they all know that in addition to cement, there are also magic arrays to enhance the defense of the city wall.

The magic circle is not as rare as cement.

But this time the great power of cement in construction made them pay attention to the value of cement.

"Before, a lord reached an agreement with Hope Village to exchange shells. This is true. I know one of the lords who reached an agreement. It is near my territory. They have already sent a team to the seaside."

"They really went to the beach to find shells? Are they not afraid of dragons???"

"The probability of encountering the Dragon Clan is not 100%. The most important thing is that if it really falls into the hands of the Dragon Clan, it can be redeemed with money, as long as they think it's worth it."

"It makes sense, why don't we go too?" Some lords couldn't help but suggested.

As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent for a moment.

Many lords were silent, but in their hearts they were calculating the gains and losses of doing so.

As long as the benefits are sufficient, some risks can indeed be taken.

"Let's talk about it when the time comes! We'll see after you trade with Hope Village." One of the more conservative lords spoke first.

As someone just said, there are already territories to try!Then they just wait and see.

Only when the benefits outweigh the risks do they need to do it.

Many lords felt that this made sense, and expressed that they would wait.

Finally, the attention returned to the resort.

"When will this be finished?"

"If it opens here, then staying overnight in Hope Village would be a good choice?"

"Yes! Living in a taller building and overlooking the entire territory is definitely a visual enjoyment."

"It should be soon! The rest seems to be decoration now?"

"I heard them say that decoration is the most important thing."

"It's really exciting!"

"..."

Just when these lords were sighing and looking forward to it, Earl Alcott and Baron Charlotte also came.

The two met by chance on the road, and even Baron Charlotte did not expect that Earl Alcott would be permanently stationed in Hope Village.

But when he came here, he realized that he still underestimated Hope Village.

A small level 3 territory can actually attract so many lords.

Seeing Earl Alcott, the group of lords saluted one after another.

They were all used to the presence of Earl Alcott.

The other party is in Hope Village without any scruples about their identities, and they have to salute once they see it, and they have to salute several times a day. Are you not used to it?

As for Baron Charlotte, it was incidental.

The opponent's title is lower than theirs, but he is an envoy of the capital, so his status will be different.

"Don't be too polite." Earl Alcott replied with a smile, and then set his sights on the resort.

It's finally here!

It's worth it!

As for Baron Charlotte, she also looked up and down.

This is a resort!

It's a pity that he is leaving today, this time he can't wait, next time he will come up and down.

"What were you talking about just now?" Earl Alcott asked. He listened to it when he was approaching, but couldn't hear it clearly.

Several lords at the scene looked at each other.

Finally, one of the lords took the initiative to stand up and briefly talked about shells and cement.

Earl Alcott listened with a moment of thought in his eyes, then thanked him and said nothing more.

Seeing this, these lords seized the opportunity and left.

Anyway, the excitement is over.

After they left, Baron Charlotte looked at the pensive Earl Alcott and said, "What? Are you interested in this cement?"

"One thing." Earl Alcott said honestly: "It is indeed a good thing that the defense of the city wall can carry the city without a magic circle."

There are really too many good things in Hope Village, which makes people more and more excited.

Baron Charlotte looked at the dark light that flashed in the depths of Earl Alcott's eyes, and raised his eyebrows, "Then the Earl can send a team to go to the beach, which is a bit difficult for these small territories, but for the Earl, you I'm afraid it's not difficult, Sir Earl, the territory of one of your younger brothers, as I remember, is very close to the seaside?"

Earl Alcott listened, and glanced at Charlotte, "The baron is quite familiar with my family's situation."

"It just happened to be awarded an honor before." Baron Charlotte said with a smile.

"Then Baron Charlotte is interested in fishing for shells?"

"Yes, I believe you can also see the value of this cement. Of course I am interested in valuable things."

"So Baron Charlotte intends to come with me?"

"Yes, I can send two holy-level professionals." Baron Charlotte said seriously.

The news he got from Hope Village gave him a sense of crisis. He stayed in Hope Village for the past few days and asked many people in these new territories. He used special methods to dig out a lot of information about the other world before they knew it. The information matched what Zhou Bai said, which made him tend to believe that what Zhou Bai said was true.

That being the case, he naturally had to prepare early.

Cement, a building material that can improve defense, will definitely be a very important strategic material if a disaster really strikes.

Hope Village must also know, so it is impossible to get it from Hope Village for free, so we can only find a way to change it.

Of course, in addition to the exchange, he can also find ways to study and study to see if he can research it.

There are still two saint-level professionals!
Earl Alcott was a little surprised.

Looking at Baron Charlotte's expression again, my thoughts moved slightly.

Baron Charlotte is so concerned about this matter, could it be that the cement is more important than he imagined?

Thinking of this, Earl Alcott already had a plan in mind.

Then he nodded and said, "How about we find a place to discuss together?"

"Row."

And shortly after they finished their agreement, both of them packed their bags and left.

Baron Charlotte's departure was expected by Zhou Bai, so she naturally didn't care too much about it, but she had to care about Earl Alcott's sudden departure.

"What do you think is the reason for Earl Alcott?" Zhou Bai asked Bayer to discuss with him.

"They left after seeing the resort. The hottest topic in the territory of the resort is the cement that can build a 7-story building." Bayer replied.

Listen, Zhou Bai nodded, "It seems that what they discussed was related to cement, and after Baron Charlotte heard the news from us, he was just concerned about defensive building materials. Maybe a cooperation has really been reached, but I don’t know what it is about Earl Alcott that Baron Charlotte covets.”

After all, the family behind Baron Charlotte is not small. If they really think shells are useful, they don't need to rely on Earl Alcott.

"Forget it, no matter what it is, as long as they can bring back some more shells and exchange them with us, we will benefit." Zhou Bai said.

Bayer put forward a different opinion at this time, "If they use shells to study cement by themselves! When they have raw material channels, this market is likely to be seized by them."

Zhou Bai listened, paused, and then said calmly: "The formula of cement may also be figured out by some people. As our new territories continue to enter the field of vision of others, this day will come sooner or later. They will study the cement in anticipation." Among them, the market for cement is very large, so we don’t need to think about eating it in our own territory. Besides shells, there are also limestone mines! When they focus on shells, let’s find more limestone mines. mines, and increase our own reserves."

"Bayer, our strength is limited, and we don't have the energy to travel thousands of miles to the seaside to find raw materials. Besides, there are dragons on the seaside! It's too dangerous to go there with the strength of our territory personnel, and it's not worth it."

Zhou Bai naturally knew that Bayer wanted to send his own team to find as many shells as possible to produce cement, and pre-emptively strike. But the strength of Hope Village was far from reaching that level, and the gains outweighed the losses.

She still tends to walk slowly step by step.

"So, as long as you have the ability to obtain shells, the lord doesn't mind taking this business into your hands, right?" Bayer suddenly said.

"Yes." Although Zhou Bai was surprised, he still responded. If the raw materials are sufficient, she is indeed willing to sell them in exchange for a large amount of gold coins. Wouldn't it be good to invest in other industries then?

It must be said that the sudden involvement of Baron Charlotte and Earl Alcott gave her a slight sense of crisis.

"Have you forgotten, my lord? Besides the Dragon Clan, there is another place near the sea. It cannot be said to be near the sea, but in the middle of the sea." Bayer said with a smile.

Zhou Bai looked at Bayer, and four words came out of his mouth involuntarily: "The Kingdom of the Undead?"

"Yes, the kingdom of the undead."

"But isn't there miasma around the Undead Kingdom, so you can't get close to it? And you haven't mentioned this idea before." Zhou Bai couldn't help but said.

"I thought so too, so I never had this option, but just before I came here, Virgil approached me and said that he had a way to get it from some necromancers in the kingdom of the undead." Bayer said.

Virgil?That merchant npc summoned from the Hall of Valor?Does he really have a way?

"Call him over! Let's talk." Zhou Bai's heartbeat accelerated in vain.

If it is possible to go through the Kingdom of the Undead, their raw materials will not be endless. Even if other territories produce cement, they hope that the village will still be able to handle this business, and even be able to quickly occupy this market and expand the market size.

At that time, the money will not be rolling in.

"Yes." Bayer replied, and then walked out of the office.

In a short while, he brought Virgil over.

"I've met the lord." Fugil looked at Zhou Bai, and saluted directly, with a polite smile on his lips.

Zhou Bai was looking at Fugil.

For the impression of this businessman, apart from the profiteer who was first learned from the mouths of the undead, her mother Ding Qiurou mentioned it later.

This is definitely a capable person, but he kept a relatively low profile after entering Hope Village.

For Fugil to make such a choice, coupled with the fact that the other party has done her job perfectly, she really didn't have much thought for the other party.

Zhou Bai was really surprised when the other party showed up this time.

"Do you know how to get a lot of shells from the kingdom of the undead?" Zhou Bai asked bluntly.

Fugil nodded and said confidently: "Naturally."

"Why did you say it now? What do you want?" Zhou Bai continued to ask. She didn't think that the other party's ability came suddenly.

Fugil didn't expect Zhou Bai to be so straightforward, and then he said casually, "I just want to earn some contribution points suddenly, and become an official. I think the business management department is pretty good."

Before, Fugil really didn't have any ideas in Hope Village. He just felt that he was very comfortable and could work with ease, which allowed him to enjoy the freedom that he didn't have in the Kingdom of the Dead.

Eat and drink in Hope Village, and make up for the suffering of the past few years bit by bit.

But after making up for himself for a while, he felt that life was a little boring, and Zhou Bai, the lord, never looked at him differently. He didn't believe it. For the great achievements of the kingdom of the undead, if the other party does not invite him, he will naturally stay in the corresponding position arrogantly.

But in the follow-up, looking at the endless good things and various novel business measures emerging in Hope Village, he understood one thing, that is, there are many talents in the business of Hope Village, and he can make it prosperous by himself.

After realizing this, he felt that he should make a move earlier, otherwise he felt that he would be easily marginalized over time.

So he had prepared everything and bided his time.

Today, when the resort has once again made cement the center of attention, he knows that his time has come.

Not only can he use this opportunity to enter Zhou Bai's field of vision, but he can also take advantage of this matter to try to control this business under his control. He believes that with his ability, he can definitely play its greatest role.

After listening to the other party's request, Zhou Bai felt confident and said directly: "If you have this idea, I can directly transfer you to the Commercial Management Department. However, if you want to take charge of this department, it depends on your own ability. The territory has always been The purpose is to enable people to live in it.”

The other is people who know how to show off their abilities.

Speaking of which, I hope that the population of the village is more than 1 now. Even if Zhou Bai is the lord, it is impossible to go to the waves to find gold, and to select talents and select them by himself. Not to mention fairness and unfairness, she doesn't have the energy. !
The selection system and contribution system she gave are already considered fair selection methods. As long as you have the ability and the heart, you will never miss it.

Seeing Zhou Bai's serious expression, Fugil chuckled and said, "Okay! Then you can get a large batch of shells after waiting for another 20 days."

"Have you started the acquisition?" Zhou Bai was stunned for a moment, then calculated the time, and suddenly thought that it was a month before he summoned Virgil a few days ago. He seemed to have gone back for a day off.

It turned out that the preparations started so early, amazing!

What Zhou Bai admired the most was such a person with a deep heart.

"Yes, I bought it by the way when I went back to the Undead Kingdom two days ago, and brought a lot of things back. Hope Village's items are very popular in the Undead Kingdom!" Vergil laughed, "Also, by the way, tell the lord something. News, Hope Village can summon undead and hire undead is widely known in Hope Village! Not only ordinary undead, but also some holy-level necromancers are also very interested in Hope Village!"

Zhou Bai: "..."

"But don't worry, I can help you solve this matter. I wonder if the lord is interested in opening a store over there in the Kingdom of the Dead? Sell the things in Hope Village over there, and you can exchange them for gold coins and various unique items. There are resources that are only available in the Kingdom of the Undead. Although some resources cannot be used on the surface, they are definitely a sharp weapon when used privately. I hope the village can prepare more trump cards for its current situation!" Virgil continued.

Zhou Bai: "...What kind of resources do you need? Write a list directly to Bayer, and he will transfer it to you. You are fully responsible for this matter."

After listening to Zhou Bai's words, Virgil's eyes flashed and he smiled slyly: "Lord, aren't you afraid that I will take something and run away?"

"Is there any other way for you to enter and exit the kingdom of the undead? If you can't enter and exit the kingdom of the undead, some of the advantages you have established by relying on our territory will be gone. I can still rely on other undead to do business in the kingdom of the undead according to your ideas, right? Besides, even if we don't do this business, we hope that the village won't suffer any losses." Zhou Bai asked rhetorically.

The current dependency relationship is that Virgil needs to rely on Hope Village.

This kind of dependence is the reason why Hope Village dares to trust Vergil and many undead.

Big deal for another.

Hope the village has a way out, they don't.

One more thing, don't be suspicious about employing people, and don't use suspicious people. This is the principle passed down from the ancestors, and it is really applicable in an environment like the Stan Continent.

After listening to Zhou Bai's words, Fugil smiled again, this time the smile was much more sincere.

"My lord, leave it to me, I will not let you down."

Hearing these words, Zhou Bai let out a long breath in his heart.

It seems that another general has been "conquered".

Four updates in one, Big Fat Chapter, please give me monthly votes and recommendation votes, okay!
