Zhou Bai was surprised when he received the news.

But Zhou Bai soon realized that this kind of thing would happen sooner or later.

Being triggered early might be a good thing!

At this time, Diana noticed that Zhou Bai was distracted and asked directly: "What happened?"

"A new group of survivors has arrived. Some of them robbed others and have now entered the territory. The robbers were caught by the soldiers. I am thinking about how to regulate the order of the territory." Zhou Bai said. Although she was not at the scene, she had been paying attention to the changes in the green dots on the territory map. Combining what she had seen before and the message from the system just now, it was not difficult to guess what had happened.

"Do you have any ideas?" Diana asked.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Zhou Bai asked back. She did have some ideas in her mind, all of which were borrowed from some laws in real society, but they could not be copied completely. What she needed most were rules that were suitable for the current situation in the territory.

"The territory I was in before did have some regulations, but those are useless to the strong. I guess those are not what you want." Diana shook her head. Even though she had only stayed in this territory for one day, she was able to learn some background from the residents' words, and understood why this territory and Zhou Bai's territory were so special.

She was looking forward to the territory that Zhou Bai would build.

Zhou Bai understood what Diana meant. The rule of this world was probably "the strong prey on the weak, and the strong are respected." As long as he was not caught, it could not be considered a violation of the rules. And if he was caught, as long as he was strong enough, he would be fine.

...

...

In their real history, the nobles were also like this, it was an old trick!

Thinking about this matter, Zhou Bai decided to formulate one first. Maybe it would trigger the system's reward. After all, it was a system requirement.

【Territory Rules (+)】

[Rule 1: Territory residents are prohibited from harming others or damaging the interests of others]

[Punishment: Depends on the severity of the situation. In serious cases, the resident status will be revoked and the person will be expelled from the territory.]

After confirming it, Zhou Bai released it directly.

As soon as it was released, Zhou Bai received a "reward" from the system.

[Dear host, you have formulated territory rules 1. Please choose a suitable place to detain criminals for your territory. Do you want to buy a prison? ]

[Item: Prison Blueprint]

[Introduction: The place where criminals are detained. The detained criminals will be monitored by the prison and are not allowed to step out of the territory.]

[Purchase price: 3 gold coins]

[Selling price: 6 gold coins]

Zhou Bai chose to buy it without hesitation.

[Do you want to spend 5 gold coins, 1000 units of wood, 1000 units of stone, 1000 units of iron ore and prison blueprints to build a prison? ]

"yes."

[The prison has been built, please move in. 】

Zhou Bai directly placed the prison behind the military camp.

After completing all this, Zhou Bai continued to issue another task.

[Task: Collect territory rules]

【Nature: Long-term collection task】

[Reward: 1 silver coin]

[Target of implementation: All residents]

After the operation was completed, Zhou Bai looked at Diana and said directly: "I'll make one first, and I'll see if the residents have better suggestions for the others."

Diana looked at the notification on her panel and nodded in agreement, "Okay."

"A prison has just been built, and the robbers now have a place to stay. But besides imprisoning them, I have another idea?"

"Um?"

"I plan to pave a road outside the territory and send soldiers to patrol and clean it on a daily basis. If there are survivors who reach the territory, they can reach the territory safely without wasting manpower for rescue. I thought the project was too large before, but now there are so many free laborers, it can be implemented. What do you think?" Zhou Bai asked, his eyes shining.

She had always been thinking about how to let more people outside the territory know about the existence of Hope Village. Although relying on system notifications is convenient, it also limits the scope. If there is a road with signposts on it, it will be easy for survivors outside to know about the existence of Hope Village first, and even residents in the territory can go out to explore.

If you want to be rich, build roads first. This sentence also applies to territory construction.

She had never put it on the agenda before because there were too few residents in the territory, but now it was possible.

Diana listened, her expression paused, then she smiled, "That's great! Do as you think!"

"I will release the information after the soldiers send them to the prison for registration and the prison leaves a mark on them!" Zhou Bai said happily.

Having free labor can really save a lot of money!

Diana looked at Zhou Bai's happy expression, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

Then he finished making another piece of rainproof equipment and handed it to Zhou Bai, "Here are 60 sets of equipment, you can use them first!"

"Well, you've worked hard. I'll give you a snack tonight." After saying that, Zhou Bai took his equipment and left.

Before going to the cafeteria, Zhou Bai stopped by Valhalla.

When Zhou Bai arrived, the summoned Bayer and Dennis were practicing sword and reading a medical scroll respectively.

Seeing Zhou Bai, they both stopped what they were doing and looked at him eagerly.

Without further ado, Zhou Bai handed two sets of equipment to the two of them, "Put them on and follow me."

The two of them did as they were told.

Then the three of them headed towards the cafeteria.

**

In the cafeteria.

After eating and drinking enough and changing into new clothes, Cao Jingshan and his group of rescued people recovered. The injured people received simple treatment and their health values ​​were slowly increasing.

Compared to them, Yu Ziming and others who were trapped in the corner were not doing so well.

The wet clothes stuck to their bodies, and they could feel waves of coldness coming over them. Their stomachs were growling. Although they had food on them, they couldn't just eat it raw!

Especially the aroma of steamed buns, white porridge and other foods that came into their noses in waves was simply torture.

"Yu Ziming, I shouldn't have listened to you."

"If we had not robbed and followed Cao Jingshan and his men, we wouldn't have ended up like this."

"I don't know how they will deal with us, how they will drive us out of their territory, can we survive?"

Yu Ziming listened to the complaints of his teammates but turned a deaf ear to them. He understood that no matter what he said now it would be wrong, so it would be better for him to say nothing.

When there were benefits, I kept calling him Brother Yu, but now, haha.

It was when this group of people were in a daze that they received the message from the system.

News about new rules and tasks for the territory.

The moment they heard it, they knew it was directed at them.

Several people panicked instantly.

Zhou Zhengping and others on the other side also heard it.

Li Xingteng looked at Zhou Zhengping and said, "You are right. The territory's reaction is really fast!"

As for Zhou Zhengping, he looked at the new rules on the control panel for a while and also laughed.

It's his daughter who reacts quickly!

Thinking about Zhou Bai, Zhou Bai also stepped into the cafeteria at this time, followed by the curious Bayer and Dennis.

Li Xingteng noticed them sharply and waved to them.

But Cao Jingshan and others were completely stunned.

"Then, then, then...what is that?" Someone pointed at Bayer and Dennis, his voice trembling slightly.

"Those are the NPCs summoned by the territory." Ding Qiurou kindly reminded in the crowd, and summoned two more NPCs. Xiaobai was in someone else's hands again.

NPC? They thought it was a person, but it turned out to be a ghost?

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. How many "surprises" were waiting for them in this Hope Village?

At this time, Zhou Bai walked up to them and first gave Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng a batch of four-piece rainproof suits. "These are what Diana asked me to bring to you. She said that the territory is giving you replacements."

Li Xingteng accepted it with a smile, "The territory is really great!" This way they didn't even have time to rest.

But they are happy about it. In addition to special materials, they also gained a lot, so they definitely did not suffer any loss.

Zhong Yongmin and others watched with envy in their eyes. They could only wait for the cooling-off time to pass. Fortunately, a new batch of survivors arrived and they also sold a lot of things.

It turns out that the more people in the territory, the better.

Then, Zhou Bai introduced Bayer and Dennis behind him, "They are the newly summoned NPCs in the territory. Diana asked me to send them equipment. They wanted to come over, so I brought them here."

Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng shifted their attention to the two NPCs, and then they noticed that these two NPCs also had positions.

【Military Camp Commander-in-Chief Bayer】

【Doctor Dennis】

Their pupils constricted. Was this Bayer going to be their immediate boss?

On the way here, Bayer already knew that Zhou Bai had asked him to take over the two teams of soldiers. He straightened his face and said, "Bring the soldiers, bring the people, and follow me!"

A fierce aura rushed towards the few people.

Subconsciously, Zhou Zhengping, Li Xingteng and others replied "yes".

Then he immediately took his men and prepared to leave following Bayer.

Yu Ziming and others were forced to go out, and they became anxious.

"Where are you taking me?"

"I don't want to leave here."

"I don't want to go out, I'll die!"

The shrill cries became louder and louder, but they were still forcibly taken away from the cafeteria.

This scene instantly shocked Cao Jingshan and his party.

But then came the excitement.

A territory where the guilty are punished always makes people feel safe.

Thinking back on everything they had experienced since entering the territory, the group's hearts were completely set on Hope Village.

After they left, Zhou Bai looked at the survivors in the cafeteria and said directly: "Dennis is a doctor. If any of you are injured, you can ask him for treatment."

After Zhou Bai finished his introduction, Dennis stepped forward and said, "One silver coin is enough for one treatment. I guarantee that you will recover as before."

He had to make the lord see his value and continue to employ him in the future.

Listen, Cao Jingshan was the one who reacted the fastest and brought his daughter Cao Zhu to Dennis.

Dennis took a look, then took out a wooden stick, waved it at Cao Zhu, and chanted a spell. In a flash, Cao Zhu's face turned from pale to rosy, and his health points were full.

This visible change instantly shocked others. Many people whose family members were injured were no longer afraid of his different appearance and quickly invited him to treat them.

After his daughter's treatment, Cao Jingshan quickly went to Zhou Bai and Ding Qiurou. He already knew that these two were Zhou Zhengping's wife and daughter. Seeing that Zhou Bai's actions were particularly unusual, he thought of asking them for help.

"Do you have any rain gear left? I want to buy it and then go look at the house."

After a day and night of hard work, he just wanted to find a place to have a good rest.

"Yes, the price of a set is 30 silver coins, and it can also be sold individually."

"I want three sets, thank you." Cao Jingshan said immediately.

At this time, watching their transaction, others also came over.

"I just need a bamboo hat."

"I want a cloak."

“…”

In a very short time, all the rainproof equipment in Zhou Bai's hands was gone.

After they bought the rainproof equipment, the original residents nearby also saw the business opportunity and continued to do business.

"Are you planning to buy a house? There's nothing in the house. Do you need a bed? I have one here, along with a matching cushion and quilt, all made of animal skins."

"I have a house for rent! It's 50 copper coins per person per day, and it can accommodate four people. Each person has a bed, a cabinet, and a small table. You won't suffer any loss if you use it temporarily."

"I also have a room for rent, fully equipped, double room, 200 copper coins a day, 50 silver coins a month."

"Does anyone need hot water to wash? Hot water is available, 10 copper coins per bucket. If you need it, just call me and I'll bring it to you."

"I'll go with you guys to see what you need and buy it. Sure, sure."

“…”

With the "help" of the existing residents of Hope Village, new survivors were taken away from the cafeteria and sent to their new residences in batches, achieving a direct win-win situation.

Zhou Bai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when watching this scene.

Are the residents of the territory better at the landlady business than she is?

Please vote, I will try to make a second update in the evening~
