Before he could finish his words, Kou Yuhai kicked his legs and died.

Everyone stared at Kou Yuhai in a daze, unable to say a word.

Then Ling Shan suddenly shouted, and soon all the soldiers of the city defense army were in an uproar.

Even the two old men on the city wall jumped three feet high for joy and almost jumped down from the city wall.

Zhou Bin looked at Kou Yuhai lying on the ground and said with a smile: "You are capable of this and you dare to imitate others to be a bandit. Now you can go underground and be a bandit!"

Then he turned around and glanced at the bandits, saying, "Why don't you surrender now? When will you surrender?"

The bandits were already frightened out of their wits, and they all immediately lay on the ground begging for mercy, expressing their willingness to surrender.

Zhou Bin turned to Ling Shan and said, "Ling Shan, recruit them all into the city defense army and teach them to behave themselves. If they still behave like bandits, I will never let them off easily!"

Ling Shan nodded hastily, and then said to the bandits: "Okay, follow me!"

Afterwards, these people were taken away by Ling Shan, and a crisis of destroying the city was easily resolved by Zhou Bin.

Soon, the news of the death of the three leaders spread back to Moyu Mountain.

When the minions who had not followed heard this, they all packed up their things and ran away.

By the time Zhou Bin and Ling Shan led the soldiers of the city defense army over there, the entire mountain was already deserted, with no one in sight.

Zhou Bin immediately ordered people to take over Moyu Mountain, and from then on Moyu Mountain belonged to Baofang City.

Zhou Bin stationed more than 500 soldiers on the mountain to protect the peace of the entire mountain. At the same time, he recruited people from the common people and started mining coal.

Zhou Bin was different from those bandits. He provided food and accommodation to all the people he recruited, paid them wages, and gave them holidays every month.

Therefore, people from all over Baofang City want to come here to work, and everyone is flocking to it.

Later, more than 300 people were recruited, all of whom were local people.

In this way, the coal mine business was not interrupted and production began immediately. The coal needed by Baofang City was also transported back continuously.

Zhou Bin stipulated that if the people of Baofang City now buy coal, they only need ten copper coins per pound, which is much cheaper than coal outside.

Everyone’s burden will be lighter, and at the same time, the people in the mountains can be fed.

At the same time, Zhou Bin stipulated that if people outside Baofang City wanted to buy coal, it would be twenty copper coins per pound, the same price as coal outside.

When the people outside heard this, they were overjoyed. This was a great thing. The price was reduced by two times compared to before, and everyone could eat more easily.

As a result, people from the surrounding towns came to buy coal, and for a while, the business of Mamoyu Mountain flourished.

A steady stream of income also gathered in Baofang City, and Zhou Bin's brows finally relaxed.

Through this action, he not only solved everyone's winter heating problem, but also increased a large amount of income for the city.

In this way, both the school and the soldiers will be protected.

Moreover, the accumulated money can be used to help the poor, build cities, etc., which is really killing two birds with one stone.

In the blink of an eye, winter passed and spring came. It was April of the following year. The whole Baofang City was full of flowers and green willows, and the spring scenery was pleasant.

Zhou Bin also came out of the City Lord's Mansion where he had lived in seclusion for a winter and began to move around.

In winter, because he was afraid of the cold, he did not go out and stayed in his mansion.

Now that the weather is warmer, he naturally has to go out for some fun.

At this time, men and women, young and old, all came out on the street, with joy on everyone's face.

Zhou Bin also mixed in the crowd, wandering around various places on the street.

He found that Baijiang City had changed a lot since he came here. The whole street was much more lively and people were smiling more often.

Especially when Bai Feichen was here, everyone lived in fear all the time, but now all this is no longer the case.

Children are playing and frolicking happily in the streets, girls are wearing beautiful clothes, and boys are full of energy and rushing towards life.

In short, this place has become peaceful and can be said to be a paradise in this chaotic world.

Zhou Bin felt very relieved. Although this was the mortal world, and a small inconspicuous place, everyone lived so happily, which was enough to make Zhou Bin feel at ease.

However, what Zhou Bin didn't know was that the prosperity of Baofang City had already attracted the covetousness of some surrounding cities.

They watched Baofang City grow more and more prosperous, and with the addition of salt factories, coal mines, and precious things like wheat, they were so jealous that they couldn't help themselves.

So the ten cities around Baofang City, including Ningchuan, Fenghe, Shangshui, Yuncang and Lingu, gathered together to plot, as they had long coveted the wealth of Baofang City.

Therefore, these city lords were thinking about how to take over Baofang City, and then they could get rich.

At this time, the initiator of this alliance, Wu Yixin, the mayor of Ningchuan City, spoke up: "My fellow mayors, we are here to discuss how to divide up Baofang City. I think we should just join forces and attack Huanglong directly, kill that Zhou guy, and then seize his territory. Wouldn't that make us rich?"

As soon as he said this, everyone became excited. Most of these people came from humble backgrounds, so they were particularly keen on fighting and killing.

At this time, Yuan Feng, the Lord of Shangshui City, stood up and said loudly: "Lord Wu, what you said is wrong! If so many of us go over there to fight, what if Lord Wulong City blames us?"

When everyone heard this, they all fell silent, because what Yuan Feng said made sense.

This is not an ownerless land, but the territory of the Lord of Wulong City.

They gathered together openly and went to attack Baofang City. If the Lord of Wulong City blamed them, they would be in big trouble.

When everyone heard this, they stopped shouting and asked Yuan Feng what he thought.

Yuan Feng smiled slightly: "This matter is very simple. As long as we get the consent of the Lord of Wulong City, we can attack Baofang City openly."

Gongsun Lu, the Lord of Fenghe City, immediately asked, "Do you have any way to meet the Lord of Wulong City? And, will he definitely agree to our request?"

Everyone had the same idea. After all, the Lord of Wulong City was not an ordinary person, and his thoughts were not something that everyone could understand.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Lu smiled and said, "I have thought about it. It will be no problem."
