Chapter 331 He is really smart
The next day, early in the morning, many residents had already packed their bags.

After learning the news from Brooke yesterday, some residents who had been thinking about leaving for a long time left under the pretext of going out to collect resources.

After leaving, he never came back.

After hearing this, some residents became more certain of one thing. They hoped that there would really be someone in the village to support them.

Otherwise, those residents who left would definitely come back to Banes Village.

But just when they were about to set off early, they were stopped.

"Stop, I have something to announce. After listening, you can decide whether to leave right away."

"What's going on?" Many people looked at Hua Xili.

Hua Xili and the others knew each other well. They were considered old residents of their area and had high moral standards. Since they only wanted to talk to them, it was okay for them to stop for a while.

"Brooke met me this morning and mentioned to me that now is not the best time to leave. Let me inform you that if you are willing, you can stay one more day and wait for his notice to leave." Vasili said directly.

"Staying for one more day? Won't that cause a lot of accidents?"

"That's right! Didn't he ask us to leave as soon as possible?"

"Did Brooke say that? Could it be that you deliberately delayed us?"

"So what's the best time?"

"..."

The high-pressure policy of Banes Village during this period has really put a lot of pressure on many people, so after they knew that they had the opportunity to leave Banes Village, they naturally wanted to seize the time.

They can also think that if they run fast, they can walk fast, if they run slow, they can walk slow, or they can't even walk, so they naturally race against time.

Huasili looked at their anxious expressions and said directly: "The reason why I let you stay for one day is that I hope you can earn more for your settlement. I hope that a mercenary team in the village will buy stone and wood at a high price in Banes Village. You If you go outdoors to collect wood and stone, you will not only get money, but also make the village of Banes relax their vigilance against you. When it is time to leave, you can leave smoothly without being frightened by collecting wood, do you think? Woolen cloth?"

After listening to Hua Xili's words, everyone looked at each other and started talking quickly.

"What do you think?"

"I think it's okay! Speaking of which, professionals have been restricted in coming and going recently. We have been resting on our laurels, and the savings on hand have indeed been reduced a lot."

"And when we go out now, we have to pay a certain deposit. I originally wanted to pay this amount, but now it seems that I can make some money back."

"I still think it's better to just leave."

"I didn't tell you, it's up to us to choose."

"..."

During the discussion, many people had already made up their minds.

Seeing this, Hua Xili quickly said: "Those who are interested in staying can register with me, and I will inform you when is the best time to leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, many people really registered here in Hua Xili, and more and more people came to register.

After a while, the number of people on Hua Xili's side was full.

"Okay, these are the only people I have here. Those who haven't registered yet can find others to register."

"Can't I register with you? We don't know the other people either!" Some people who hadn't registered were anxious.

When there was a quota, I felt it was unreliable, but now that there is no quota, I started to feel nervous again.

Huasili listened and said sheepishly: "If there are too many people, my management will be easily messed up. If the notification is not in place, it will be bad! But Brooke has appointed a lot of team leaders. If you go to other places earlier, you can also go to other places earlier. Set."

Hua Xili did not hesitate to guide other team leaders.

He knew very well that at this moment, everyone was one.

To be honest, he was also nervous when he was approached by Brooke.

But in the end, he was convinced.

He is already an old man, and the future of his sons and grandsons is unpredictable. He really has to find a way for them to find a way out.

Hope this is the right path.

Listening to Hua Xili's words, there are indeed many people around who are trying to find other team leaders.

In this way, countless groups were formed in residential areas.

As soon as they formed, these people hurried towards the city gate.

"Where are you going?" At the city gate, soldiers set up roadblocks. Only after paying a deposit and explaining the route can one pass smoothly.

In the past few days, there have been very few people going out, and they have become much more relaxed.

Unexpectedly, starting yesterday, the entire territory became "active" with the arrival of Hope Village personnel.

Just yesterday, many people suddenly paid deposits and left, and they did not return at night.

Although they were all residents who left, this strange behavior was still recorded by them.

They told their captain last night, but the captain did not continue to observe, so they had no choice but to do so.

Now that there were so many people there, of course they were getting nervous.

The incident of "people running away" in their territory still scares them now!
This time, you won’t have to start running again, right?

"We're not going anywhere! We're just operating within the territory. We want to collect wood and stone. These can be exchanged for a lot of money!" The leading resident quickly explained the situation.

The gatekeepers listened and looked at each other.

Then a soldier quickly left the city gate and ran towards the city, obviously to verify the authenticity of the matter.

When they went to verify, the resident who was first in line was panicking, but he still pretended to be calm, "How long will it take to wait! What will happen if it delays us making money!"

"You can leave after paying enough deposit." Justin, one of the gatekeepers, looked at his confident expression and said directly.

Although it is necessary to verify the authenticity of the matter, these are ordinary residents. As long as they pay the money, no one cares about what they do outside.

He was only nervous because there were too many people in this wave.

Now that he got a reasonable reason from them and gave him an excuse to explain to his superiors, he felt much more relieved.

"How much does it cost? Can you give it back to me when I come back?" the resident first in line asked quickly.

He could afford the deposit, but he was afraid that he would have to pay multiple times for multiple entries and exits, and the money he earned would not be enough for the deposit.

"Ordinary residents need to pay 50 silver coins when leaving Banes Village. If you come back on the same day, you can get it back." Justin said directly.

"Why?"

A parchment appeared in Justin's hand, with many names registered on it. Some names had a check mark next to them, and some names had a cross next to them. "When I came back, I found my name directly at the entrance. After checking, Get your deposit back.”

After confirming it, the resident reluctantly paid 50 silver coins and then walked out of the city gate.

After this resident, subsequent residents followed suit.

Their answers were consistent with those of the previous residents.

Just like that, the residents filed out one after another.

In a short period of time, the number has exceeded [-].

Justin, who was registering, looked at the name that was getting longer and longer, and kept looking inside. Does it take so long to verify a message? ? ?
Just as he was thinking this, the soldier who had gone to ask for information came back.

Justin immediately handed over the program in his hand to others and asked the visitor, "How is it?"

"It's true! There are caravans and mercenary teams in the territory who are purchasing wood, stone, and even some materials such as ore. The prices are much higher than inside the village of Barnes. As soon as this news came out, many people All the idle things in people's hands are sold to them! Not only the residents are moved, but also many professionals, and the professionals are also negotiating with the territory!" The returning soldier chirped. Heap, it’s all what I saw and heard just now.

After hearing this, Justin felt relieved. This matter had been confirmed. As long as there was no new news from above, they could follow the original plan and there would be nothing wrong with it.

Afterwards, Justin returned directly to his original post, and more and more residents went out.

Naturally, such changes in the territory did not escape Viscount Robin's eyes.

Basically, when the caravans and mercenary teams in Hope Village purchased materials such as stone and wood, officials could not wait to report them to Viscount Robin.

"Lord Viscount, we cannot allow them to continue to purchase stone and wood in our territory. The territorial war is about to come. If the stone cannot be replenished, our territory will be in danger. I think it is sensitive at this time, so we should drive away the people first. It’s best to leave the territory.” Foster, one of the officials, said earnestly.

Speaking of which, when Hope Village came to Hope Village at this critical time, he had already sensed the other party's ill intentions.In his opinion, the Lord should drive the people from Hope Village out of Banes Village as soon as possible. This is the safest way.

But now, instead of driving them out, they are allowed to roam in Banes Village.

He has heard a lot of gossip, and Hope Village is still taking the opportunity of the event to recruit people.

This is simply sinister.

Viscount Robin looked at Foster's worried look and said calmly: "I have already prepared all the stones for the war in the territory. What I sell now will only be what the residents have just collected. It's not a big problem. They made money. In the end, the consumption is not in our territory.”

Viscount Robin was indeed a little worried when he received the news this morning, but after noticing that the professionals didn't move much, he suppressed this worry in an instant.

He knew very well that it was the professionals who fought for the territory.

As long as the professional doesn't run around, he will be invincible.

As for the Hope Village team, they are in Banes Village, and their every move is under his surveillance. What can happen?
"But people from Hope Village are openly pulling people away from our territory. Not long after they arrived yesterday, there were hundreds of fewer residents in our territory. If we don't stop them, there will be even more people running away in the past two days." Fu Fu. Ste quickly laid out the data.

"These hundreds of people are just ordinary residents. They have no fighting ability. They ran away as soon as they ran away. Each of them contributed 50 silver coins to me, and I made the profit." Viscount Robin said casually.

He has never looked down upon ordinary residents and basically used them to make up the numbers.

It doesn't matter if hundreds of people are gone now. If hundreds more come, he won't even frown.

As for the poaching of people by Hope Village, he had heard Zhong Yongnian mention that Hope Village was working hard to meet the conditions for promotion to a small town with 2 people, and assigned tasks to the mercenary teams that went out of Hope Village.

"But if there are too many, it will shake the foundation of our territory." Foster said earnestly, "And because of previous control issues, many mercenary teams were very dissatisfied with the territory's need to use their assets as collateral. If the departure of ordinary residents later affects the professionals, our territory will be in danger. Perhaps this is the strategy of Hope Village..."

The more he thought about it, the more Foster felt it was right.

"Hope Village has just experienced a territorial war. He himself is still worried about the invading territory. He is busy developing and strengthening his strength. The target will be on our territory. If he really does something to us, he can still be there. Will this area develop? The small town of Benguela will not let him go in the first place.”

The small town of Benguela will not allow Hope Village to grow.

"What if Hope Village cooperates with other territories?" Foster asked subconsciously.

Viscount Robin listened and paused.

This possibility really exists.

After all, he had been thinking about dealing with Hope Village before, and he didn't know if the news had reached Hope Village.

If the news arrives, the mercenary team coming from Hope Village at this time will indeed be a little fishy.

Seeing that Viscount Robin was really worried, Foster immediately continued to climb up the pole, "Be careful, drive away the people in Hope Village immediately, and strictly control the entry and exit of the population. If they really want to do something with us, Business, after the territorial war, if they are not willing, they will not sincerely come to our territory to do business."

Viscount Robin's thinking was suddenly driven by Foster.

Before he had time to think deeply, the butler's figure appeared.

"Lord Viscount, Captain Zhong's people are here."

"Let people come in." Viscount Robin said directly.

Soon, Su Zufei came in from outside.

He glanced at Foster without leaving any trace, and gained an additional layer of understanding of his captain's clever calculations.

"I have met the Viscount." Su Zufei saluted respectfully to Viscount Robin.

"What's the matter with your captain?" Viscount Robin asked directly.

"Our captain asked me to give the viscount his share." As he said that, Su Zufei had a small cloth bag in his hand, and there was a crisp sound of gold coins colliding in the bag.

Soon, the bag fell into the hands of Viscount Robin.

Viscount Robin took a look and saw that there were more than 40 gold coins here.

Did Zhong Yongnian earn so many gold coins in just half a day's work yesterday?

So how much money can he make if the factory is established?
Thinking about it, Viscount Robin's heart felt hot.

"Yesterday, our captain wholesaled a lot of goods to the mercenary teams in the territory, and he also gave discounts on the prices. After going back and forth, these teams bought a lot of goods before last night. The total sales volume here is also our captain's. Sincerity, it is also because of the convenience you have opened the door to us, Mr. Viscount, that our shop can be built in such a short period of time." Su Zufei complimented, "Our captain said that if nothing else happens, the goods he brought will be ready today. After leaving, we can leave in the morning at the latest."

"If you hurry up, you can leave tonight?" Viscount Robin said directly.

Su Zufei listened and already understood the other party's eviction order.

Feeling confident, he directly answered on behalf of Zhong Yongnian, "Well, we should be able to leave tonight. The remaining goods can be carried out as usual without us being around."

Viscount Robin listened and was satisfied.

Driving people away now is the same as leaving them alone tonight.

In just half a day, nothing can be done.

Viscount Robin feels that this is the best of both worlds as he has no worries and can get money at the same time.

He is really a smart guy!

Thinking about it, Viscount Robin said: "Go back and tell your captain that except for him, the other mercenary teams should also leave tonight!"

Viscount Robin emphasized the word "self-motivated".

The meaning was obvious. He would not leave on his own tonight. After Zhong Yongnian left, he drove the others away directly.

Being able to notify him like this is already giving Zhong Yongnian face.

"Yes, I will tell you." Su Zufei responded and then withdrew.

After Su Zufei retreated, Viscount Robin looked at Foster, "Do you think this is okay?"

Foster thought about the entire process just now, and still felt that something was wrong.

But looking at Viscount Robin's irrefutable tone, he still swallowed his words of persuasion.

It took most of a day's work and shouldn't have much impact on the territory.

Taking a long breath, Foster said: "The Viscount is wise."

Viscount Robin immediately waved to Foster and asked him to retreat. He turned around and asked the servants in the manor to prepare the delicacies of Hope Village for him.

When Zhong Yongnian's shop opened, he also asked people to buy a lot of it.

I have to say that the food in Hope Village tastes really good!

It will become his property in the future... Whenever he thinks of this, Viscount Robin can't help but laugh.

On the other side, Su Zufei also brought the news back.

"Viscount Robin's ears are really soft! Also, in such a large territory, there will always be some smart people, otherwise it will not develop to this level." Zhong Yongnian said directly, he knew very well that this Foster He should be the representative figure of the official group.

He discovered yesterday that in addition to the soldiers, there was another group of people watching them, presumably officials from Banes Village.

"Do you want to tell Captain Yun and the others?" Su Zufei asked.

"Well, tell them in person that Viscount Robin asked us to notify you, and then you can go about it openly. It doesn't take long. They will all know what to do when the news is notified." Zhong Yongnian said directly.

When they discussed last night, they all talked about the worst-case scenario.

The current situation is not the worst for them, and they can naturally control it.

It's just that Brooke is having some trouble.

However, there are solutions.

"If we want to purchase resources such as stone, wood, etc., we will notify you today only." Zhong Yongnian continued to explain.

If it was limited to today, there was a high probability that the slaves would be kicked out for collection soon, and as for the residents, Brooke should also know that he would be able to withdraw after just one or two trips.

Slaves - inhabitants - they - professionals.

Following this order, by the time Banes Village reacts, they will probably be almost gone.

"Yes." Su Zufei nodded and started to do it immediately.
