While Bayer and his party were still discussing official business, Zhou Bai and his party had already returned to the territory of Hope Village.

It can be said that as soon as Zhou Bai stepped in, the control panel was instantly filled with messages.

[Congratulations host, you have obtained 5 gold coins in business tax. ]

[Congratulations host, you have obtained 3 gold coins in business tax. ]

【……】

[Congratulations host, your number of residents has reached 10,000. ]

【……】

[Dear host, your hotel occupancy rate has reached 100%, please increase the number of hotels appropriately. ]

[Dear host, the vacation mission you posted in the mission center has reached 50,000 people and costs 5,000 gold coins.]

[Dear host, all your commercial street shops have been rented out, please add them appropriately. ]

...

...

[Dear host, your house has been sold out, please add the quantity appropriately. ]

[Dear host, your market has been fully rented, please add the quantity appropriately. ]

【……】

After reading this information, Zhou Bai already had a rough idea in his mind.

Before leaving, in order to prevent the hotels in the territory from being unable to accommodate the guests, she specially upgraded some of the hotels to increase the number of hotel rooms. Now even after upgrading all of them in one go, it was still not enough to accommodate the guests.

She also added a lot of residential houses and shops.

In the end, I still couldn't withstand the enthusiasm of the "tourists".

Looking at the data of 50,000 people and 5,000 gold coins, Zhou Bai felt a little distressed.

But then, looking at the current account income of the territory, he was a little stunned.

【Wealth: 53943 gold, 24 silver, 88 bronze】

She still remembered that when the territory was upgraded to a level 3 village, its wealth had just exceeded 10,000 gold coins. As a result, so many buildings were added, so many gold coins were consumed, and in the end the total amount actually increased fivefold.

I don’t feel sad anymore, not at all!

Is this the advantage of having more people?

So, some more.

While thinking about it, Zhou Bai continued to move forward. However, he didn't walk far before he felt that there were people around him.

I subconsciously glanced at the territory map, and sure enough, the green dots had become densely packed.

Of course, the densest ones should belong to the territory.

Before she was promoted, she could occasionally see small red dots representing monsters within the territory, but now, there is not a single red spot among the green.

It was obvious that the monsters didn't dare to come, or rather, once they came, they couldn't escape.

"There are a lot more people." Li Xingteng, who was beside Zhou Bai, couldn't help but say one more word, with a little excitement on his face.

"Let's go, hurry up." Zhou Bai listened, and a sense of urgency rose in his heart.

The development of the territory in the past few days has exceeded her imagination.

We need to enter the territory earlier to understand the more specific situation.

We must maintain our current advantage.

After speeding up, Zhou Bai and his party soon arrived at the city gate.

There is still a long queue at the city gate.

But unlike before when there were only caravans and mercenary teams, there are now many more people with their families outside the city gate, big and small, old and young... and many of them are exhausted.

"This Hope Village is a really lively village. No wonder you kept asking us to come."

“There are so many people coming!”

“It must be a good village to be chosen by so many people.”

"But it's so lively here, are you sure it only takes 10 silver coins to become a resident?"

"I think it should be. Someone got in successfully before me. If it wasn't for this price, they definitely wouldn't agree."

"Compared to these 10 silver coins, I care more about whether I can really live a good life in Hope Village."

"Don't worry! I can! The shops and factories in Hope Village are in great need of workers. I have already made arrangements with the factories when I came here. I can start working right away and get paid. I can support you. You can find a suitable job by then. As for the children, send them to school! The tuition is not expensive and I can afford it."

“I’m not a professional, can I find a job?”

"able!"

"Brother, I see you know a lot. Apart from shops and factories, where else are you hiring?"

"Hope Village is developing well now, and there is a shortage of people everywhere. If you want to know who has what, just go to the Lord's Mansion and the notice board in front of the Lord's Mansion. There are recruitment notices in both places, so just look for them there."

"Is the Lord's Mansion also recruiting people? What kind of people are they recruiting? Can ordinary people be recruited?"

"Yes, the Lord's Mansion recruits people openly. For civil servants, it depends on your personal ability. Those with special skills have a higher chance of being selected. Their benefits are also very good, and they have some power in the territory. In addition to civil servants, there are also construction workers who are responsible for the construction of some buildings and roads in the territory. To do this job, you have to endure some hardships, but the benefits are really high, and there are various bonuses."

"You know a lot."

"Of course, I'm going to bring my family here to settle down, so how could I not know everything clearly? I spent two days running around Hope Village before I really decided to come to Hope Village. I have considered everything clearly."

"Is your original territory bad?"

"It was pretty good, but I could just barely get by. It was impossible to live a good life there. I always wanted to change, but I didn't know where to start. Until I came across Hope Village, I knew my chance had come."

"My life in my former territory was not good, but I came here because I heard people said it was better. After all, everyone hopes to live a better life. Now that I hear everyone say this, I feel that I made the right decision to come here."

"Me too, I'm looking forward to it!"

“…”

In the long queue at the scene, many people talked enthusiastically, and when they talked, their eyes were filled with hope for a new life in the future.

Zhou Bai heard their conversation in the crowd.

Indeed, listening to these words made her, as a lord, feel quite accomplished.

Perhaps, this is also the meaning of building a good territory.

The existence of a territory can change the life of one person or even thousands of people.

Zhou Bai instantly felt that the burden on him had become much heavier.

However, as long as you work hard and have a clear conscience, that's all!

Just as Zhou Bai was thinking this, many people around her also noticed her team.

After all, the undead and orcs have such a strong presence.

As Hope Village became more famous, it became widely known that there were undead, orcs and goblins in Hope Village.

When people first heard about them, many of them had some doubts. However, after learning that the undead and orcs were basically under official management and that they were all very friendly and kind when they met them, their reputation began to improve.

Now, when they saw the undead and orcs, they understood that this team belonged to the official team of Hope Village.

Of course, the most important thing is that all members of this team are intermediate professionals.

Such a structure may not be considered a big deal in a small town, but in a village, it is definitely considered to be top-notch.

"She is the head of Hope Village. These people are soldiers from the territory." As many people were looking at them, someone recognized Zhou Bai and spoke up immediately.

At this moment, the scene was like a boiling pot, and everyone looked towards Zhou Bai and his group.

Then they started whispering to each other.

"This is the mayor of Hope Village. He looks very small!"

"But I'm not weak at all. I hope to be a famous person in the village. I work very hard and of course I'm very talented."

"These undead and orcs are really friendly. They even lined up behind us."

"Yes! They are the official personnel of the territory, and they are so kind. It's unexpected."

“This proves that Hope Village is a great place to live. Even the village chief is so self-disciplined.”

"Come to think of it, the village chief of Hope Village is leveling up very quickly! I remember when I came here last time, she was still a junior professional! It's only been a few days."

"I heard that they went out to upgrade this time. After all, there are more and more people in Hope Village now, and many mid-level professionals come to join them. If the territory officials are not stronger, how can they suppress them?"

"Then the territory officials don't recruit those mid-level professionals?"

"Yes! Territory soldiers need to recruit people for a long time, and they need contribution points."

"What contribution?"

"Anyway, after you become a resident, the territory will give you rewards based on your performance in Hope Village. It's quite useful. If you want to become a soldier or an official staff member of the territory, you need at least 500 contribution points."

"This request is more reasonable. If other territories want to become soldiers, they have to pay for it!"

“Yes, this is also one of the attractions of Hope Village.”

"What about these undead and orcs? How did they become territory soldiers?"

"They were all summoned by the territory through special buildings. When they were first summoned, the territory was quite weak and many of them were not professionals. They were already junior professionals, so they were naturally the main fighting force of the territory. Moreover, they had a contract with the territory and would definitely be loyal to the territory. As for those summoned now, even if they are intermediate professionals, their contribution is not enough and they cannot directly become soldiers or staff of the lord's mansion. However, with their strength, it is very easy for them to join. In the past few days, Hope Village has recruited intermediate professionals, each of whom is strong and has their own skills. As soon as they arrived, they were assigned to various important positions for internships! Therefore, as long as you have the ability, you will be promoted quickly in Hope Village."

"How do you know so much?"

"Of course you want to work for the territory, so you know it so clearly!"

"You are a mid-level professional, so it will definitely go smoothly."

“…”

They discussed in low voices, but no one dared to come and chat with Zhou Bai in person.

No matter what, as the head of a village, he still has a deterrent effect on ordinary people.

However, along the way, there was no shortage of attention paid to her and the entire team.

Just like that, with everyone standing at attention, Zhou Bai followed the teams ahead into Hope Village.

Not long after they entered, the news that their entire team had been promoted to intermediate professionals had spread throughout the territory.

Naturally, the news also reached the ears of Earl Olcott.

After hearing this, Murta couldn't help but speak up, "They must have gone to the vicinity of Benguela town! Apart from there, no other place can provide them with so many resources."

Lord Olcott: "... "Let them be! We won't suffer any loss anyway."

"If this continues, we will often see them near our territory in the future!" Murtagh continued, while also spying on Earl Olcott's true intention. Seeing his calm look, he realized that his lord earl really didn't mind.

"It's good for the two territories to interact more with each other. Hope Village is quite... special." Earl Olcott continued. He originally just stayed in Hope Village for the delicious food, but after a few days, he found that this was really a great place for vacation.

The only downside at the moment is the terrible place to live!

Fortunately, the holiday villa is about to be completed, and he will have to stay there for a few days after it is completed.

The important thing is, according to the information he knew, Hope Village had several more mid-level architects in the past few days, and they were constantly moving around the territory. An emergency meeting was held today. This situation proved that Hope Village would definitely make big moves in the future.

He also wanted to see what changes would happen to Hope Village next.

I originally thought I would have to wait a few more days, but now that the village chief Zhou Bai is back, it should be a matter of two days.

In fact, it’s not just the situation in Hope Village that’s special, the village chief Zhou Bai is also special.

As the head of a village, he did not take care of internal affairs but instead focused on improving his rank, which was different from the impression he had of officials.

Of course, there is one more point that he currently doubts.

That is, the Lord of Hope Village has never appeared from beginning to end. He suspected that the village chief was most likely the Lord of Hope Village who had hidden his identity.

After all, only the lord has requirements for the territory level.

As for this identity, perhaps many people in the village already know it, so many things are waiting to be decided after this person comes back.

I don’t know whether the Hope Village led by this village chief can finally get out of this situation.

He can get out of this, and with his friendly attitude now, there will be no disputes between Hope Village and Benguela Town in the future.

If they cannot leave, as the largest territory in this area, the remaining forces of Hope Village are likely to be taken in by him, which will definitely strengthen the town of Benguela.

Therefore, it would be absolutely beneficial for him to be on good terms with Hope Village.

Murtagh was silent. Anyway, he felt that his lord earl was a little different since he entered Hope Village.

He felt that his lord might have some unknown plan behind the scenes.

Since the Earl didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask.

At this time, Zhou Bai had no idea that Earl Olcott was silently waiting behind him to take advantage of the opportunity.

After returning to the territory, Heidi and the others went straight to rest.

After all, we have been working intensively outside these days and no one has had a good rest.

"Okay!" Heidi and the others did not refuse their kindness, and then went directly to their homes.

As for Zhou Bai, he went straight to the lord's mansion.

Although Bayer has been taking care of the territory these days, there are some things that Bayer cannot replace. She has to understand the situation in the territory as soon as possible and make up for what needs to be done.

Zhou Bai had just arrived at the lord's mansion when Bayer and his party's meeting came to an end.

"Village chief, you're back!" As soon as everyone left the meeting room, they saw Zhou Bai, and their expressions were somewhat excited.

The village chief is back, and their proposal will soon become a reality.

They were all a little impatient.

Looking at their reactions, Zhou Bai raised his eyebrows. Does the territory have any other "surprises" for her?

Soon, Zhou Bai took Bayer into his office.

Zhou Bai took it and started reading it.

1. Add market location.

2. Territorial trade agreement.

3. New buildings (swimming pool building drawings, sports arena building drawings, amusement park building drawings, park building drawings, etc.)

4. Establish adult schools.

5. Strengthen the security management of the territory

6. Recruitment

7,……

After recording this series of meetings and combining them with the information he had obtained previously, Zhou Bai had a rough idea of ​​the territory's development in the past few days.

I let out a long sigh in my heart.

It's time to ask for money again.

Thinking about the 50,000 gold coins in his account, Zhou Bai decided to take this opportunity to fill up all the vacant land in the territory!

Two in one
