"Are these the residents who migrated from Banes Village?" After Jin Jingshan sighed in his heart, he asked Zhou Bai.

"Yes." Zhou Bai nodded. "I didn't expect that they would be so anxious to find a job now after just arriving at noon."

Since these residents were prepared to leave, they should have some savings on them.

Sure enough, no matter what time it is, having something to do can always calm people's hearts the fastest.

It is indeed a good thing to engage in real industry. It not only allows you to do business, but also solves the employment problem and promotes territorial stability.

Speaking of which, now that there are more and more people in the territory, she also has to consider opening more special commodity factories to increase the number of jobs.

Consider these as post-promotion stage tasks.

What are the suitable products?

Zhou Bai's consciousness began to spread unconsciously.

"When they know nothing, they worry more. After they understand, they may slow down their pace! Then they can integrate into Hope Village more quickly." Jin Jingshan said, "In fact, Hope Village really gave them a new way out."

...

...

He decided that after returning, he would also have the mercenary team in the territory arrange more "positions" suitable for ordinary people. Perhaps over time, there would be a lot more professionals.

"Residents are the foundation of the territory, aren't they? Without them, how can the territory be built?" Zhou Bai came back to his senses after hearing Jin Jingshan's words and responded with a smile.

The territory and its residents have always been mutually beneficial.

"Not everyone has the same understanding as you at the beginning." Jin Jingshan said bluntly.

After traveling to this world, becoming the master of a territory and a professional, with all the people submitting to you, it is hard not to be addicted to such an environment!

"Maybe it's because I was just an ordinary person at first." Zhou Bai said this with tears in his eyes.

The days when I thought I could be a landlady are really gone forever!

Now, she has become the queen of curling in the eyes of others.

"Those who can own a territory are not ordinary people." Jin Jingshan is the lord of the territory. He also knows the situation of other territory lords and understands the conditions for becoming a lord.

"I am currently just the village chief of Hope Village." Zhou Bai reminded him quickly.

Although many people she interacted with tacitly accepted that she was the lord, she would not admit it easily.

Jin Jingshan did not comment.

Although I didn’t understand why Zhou Bai hid his identity before, but seeing the development of Hope Village to this day, I really think that hiding his identity is a good choice.

At least the residents' expectations of the village chief are much lower than those of the lord.

Without dwelling on this question any longer, Jin Jingshan looked at the equally busy Mercenary Center in front of him and said directly: "Let's go to the Mercenary Center and take a look!"

"Yeah." Zhou Bai nodded.

Soon, the two arrived at the mercenary center.

There were many people queuing in front of the registration office of the mercenary center, the windows for registering mercenaries and mercenary teams.

When new mercenaries and mercenary teams were added, data would scroll on the bulletin board nearby.

#Title／Name／Rank／Mercenary Team#

#Intermediate Mercenary/Lucian/lv.24/Phantom Mercenary Team#

#Intermediate Mercenary／Maimaiti／lv.23／Frost Mercenary Team#

#Intermediate Mercenary……／Phantom Mercenary Team#

#Intermediate Mercenary……／Frost Mercenary Team#

#Intermediate Mercenary……／Wild Wolf Mercenary Team#

Seeing these newly added mercenaries, all of whom were mid-level mercenaries in the front row, Jin Jingshan felt at this moment that Hope Village was becoming stronger again.

So envious!

Speaking of which, there are quite a few local residents in Ningshan Village, but overall, the professional levels of the local residents are relatively low.

Because once you pass the level of mid-level professionals, many people would rather choose a small town.

If it weren't for the fact that he treated those professionals well and that his own territory and Wenxia Village had great development potential, he might not have been able to keep those mercenaries!

The fact that these professionals chose to stay in Hope Village without hesitation after leaving Barnes Village instead of going to Benguela Town also proves the charm of Hope Village to a certain extent.

"Village chief." Just when Jin Jingshan was lost in thought, someone had already noticed Zhou Bai's presence and came over with people.

When Zhou Bai looked over, he saw Zhong Yongnian, Yun Juncai, Ellis and Watt coming towards him with a few others.

"They are Lucian from the Phantom Mercenaries, Maimaiti from the Frost Mercenaries, Miguel from the Wolf Mercenaries..." After arriving in front of Zhou Bai, Zhong Yongnian started to introduce them directly.

"Hello, welcome to Hope Village." Zhou Bai nodded slightly to the group of people with a polite smile on his face.

Lucien, Mai Maiti, and Miguel all looked at Zhou Bai and straightened their bodies unconsciously. Then they said, "Thank you."

"This is the lord of Ningshan Village." Zhou Bai also began to introduce Jin Jingshan beside him.

After hearing about Ningshan Village, Lucien's eyes moved slightly.

Speaking of which, he also knew about Ningshan Village because he had been there and learned about their attitude towards professionals there.

Ningshan Village is definitely a relatively free territory for professionals.

There is a special sense of relaxation when doing tasks there.

At that time, when he could no longer stay in Banes Village, he thought about taking the team to Ningshan Village.

It's a pity that it's too far away.

Unexpectedly, by chance, I actually saw the Lord of Ningshan Village in Hope Village.

"Your Excellency the Viscount." While thinking, Lucien did not forget to salute Jin Jingshan, and the others did the same.

"Don't be so polite, just pretend I don't exist!" Jin Jingshan said politely.

Zhou Bai also had some understanding of Jin Jingshan's character, so he followed his words and said to Lucien and the others, "Are you not used to the territory?"

"There's nothing I'm not used to. Everything is fine." After a moment's pause, several people said quickly.

They are telling the truth.

Under the guidance of Zhong Yongnian and others, they fell in love with Hope Village after entering it.

As Zhong Yongnian and the others said, the territory would give them enough freedom, and on this basis, add many conveniences to their tasks, which was something that Barnes Village and even many territories could not give them.

Just for this reason, it’s worth it!

"If you feel that there is anything in the territory that needs improvement, you can mention it to the territory." Zhou Bai continued.

After hearing this, Lucien and the others subconsciously overthought.

They were wondering if Zhou Bai was testing them. Since they had defected from Barnes Village, they wondered if they would defect from Hope Village again out of dissatisfaction.

Zhou Bai watched their expressions change, and realized that his question had caused misunderstanding, so he added, "Some of our territory's policies change in real time. In order to be more realistic, we sometimes need a lot of templates. This will not only protect the rights of the territory, but also your rights. For example, when you are taking on missions in other territories, if you are bullied, you can report to the territory. If the territory is able to do so, it will work hard to seek justice for you."

Zhou Bai's words instantly won the hearts of Lucien and the others.

It turned out that they had misunderstood.

It turns out that a territory would protect its residents in this way.

Lucien, Mamtim and others just felt a little bitter in their hearts.

I have never experienced it before, but when I suddenly feel it, I am naturally touched.

Not only them, but also Watt and Ellis, as local residents, had never felt the favoritism of the territory and were deeply moved.

I am more convinced that I made the right choice.

Seeing the moved expressions in Lucien's and the others' eyes, Jin Jingshan looked at Zhou Bai, his eyes once again filled with admiration.

This ability to win people's hearts is simply amazing!

Learned it again.

I have to say, this is a wonderful misunderstanding.

On the contrary, Zhong Yongnian and Yun Juncai, who were standing by, believed, based on their experience with Zhou Bai, that Zhou Bai said this just to supplement his words.

However, the effect of this description is too strong, so it’s fine to let other people continue to misunderstand it this way.

"Thank you, Village Chief. We will!" After Lucien and the others realized what was going on, they immediately gave a sincere response to Zhou Bai's "good intentions".

Zhou Bai herself was not a person who was good at socializing. After this exchange, she felt that it was enough. She looked at Zhong Yongnian and others and said, "You guys continue to be busy. Don't worry about us. We are just taking a walk."

"Well, let's go then." Zhong Yongnian raised his eyebrows and said obediently.

Then without further ado, he took Lucian and the others away, and his attitude became much more casual.

Lucien and the others finally came to their senses after being led some distance away. He couldn't help but ask, "Are we just leaving like this? The village chief..."

"Don't worry, she won't mind. We see the village chief quite often inside and outside the territory. In most cases, everyone chooses to ignore him." Zhong Yongnian said calmly.

Lucien, Maimaiti and others were silent for a moment.

Suddenly, he remembered that except for them, the other mercenaries didn't seem to react much when they saw Zhou Bai and his group.

The painting style of this Hope Village seems a little... strange?

But I don’t know why, they… quite like it.

Thinking of this, the corners of Lucien and the others' mouths curled up unconsciously.
