Lord's Mansion, Personnel Management Office.
Staff are adding new residents to the territory based on information registered at the Resident Registry.
These things are already familiar to them.
The only difference is that the majority of the registered population today are goblins rather than humans.
The Blue Star staff didn't have much idea about it, only the indigenous people who joined later after passing the exam were a little curious about this situation.
"I can understand the undead and orcs becoming residents before. After all, their existence has greatly increased the strength of the territory. But these goblins, taking them in as residents is not only eye-catching, but the benefit seems to be only in the matter of ore. However, this can be easily bought out with a little gold coins. Why is the territory doing this now?" As he spoke, the man glanced at Rao Jiayu.
Rao Jiayu is an old employee of the Personnel Management Office, and she came from the same place as the village chief and others, so it would be right to ask her.
When Rao Jiayu heard this, his expression couldn't help but pause.
She knew that the other party had no ill intention in asking these questions, and that he simply did not understand. However, Rao Jiayu, who had received modern education, understood very well why the territory did so.
"Maybe our territory doesn't like the existence of slaves! Many things can be done by hiring people, so why should we require them to be slaves? If the goblins become residents, they will be grateful for our territory's kindness to them. Wouldn't it be great if they could work hard to help our territory find minerals in the future?"
...
...
"But when they were slaves, they also needed to look for ores. If they couldn't find any, they wouldn't have a good life..." The man hesitated. The reason he said that was because he had seen goblin slaves in a small town. Those goblin slaves would be beaten severely if they couldn't pay the required amount, so the slave owner would get a lot of ore every time.
From the perspective of territorial interests, isn't it better to pay less?
Rao Jiayu listened and couldn't help choking. It was really not possible to change these people's minds with just a few words. He then said directly: "You just need to know that the territory does not need slaves, and it will not enslave anyone. This anyone includes not only humans, but also other races. As long as other races are willing, our territory will be willing to accept their surrender. You just need to follow this principle, and you don't have to use your own ideas to consider the gains and losses of the territory." Rao Jiayu reminded directly.
The interests of the territory are determined by the territory, not by them. It is useless for individuals to think too much.
The man listened, understood what Rao Jiayu meant, and nodded, "Yes, I understand."
Didn't they know this a long time ago? This territory is different from other territories, so ordinary people like them have the opportunity to become staff members of the territory. Since they enjoy the benefits, they have to accept the unique requirements of the territory.
The man calmed down.
Some staff members around who were listening to their conversation also had an idea of what was going on.
This included Locke.
After entering the Business Management Office, he has been studying diligently, and now many of his work has gradually gotten on track.
He was really content to lead a regular and decent life.
So even if the matter about the goblins is different from what they know, they will follow the opinions of the territory.
There are too many things that cannot be done, but I can still make my family and former teammates friendlier to the goblins.

Magic equipment shop.
The shortage of supply during the initial opening has passed, but the business of the shop has entered a stable state.
Wendell is still very satisfied with the business of his shop.
Not to mention, his main source of income does not come from this shop, but from the transportation of goods between Benguela Town and Hope Village.
The exclusive contract with Hope Village gave him the right to sell Hope Village products throughout the town of Benguela.
He would sell it for double the not-so-high price in Hope Village in the small town of Benguela.
Although he wanted a higher price, because Benguela Town was too close to Hope Village, if his price was too high, he would easily lose the market in Benguela Town. He had to suppress his greed and choose a more appropriate price.
But even so, he still made a lot of money.
In other words, not only him, but also the caravans that signed contracts with Hope Village received high returns in different territories.
Hope Village has begun to gain fame in these territories. I believe that before long, the lords of these territories will pay attention to Hope Village, and then Hope Village will definitely be able to usher in new opportunities and challenges.
He also planned to see if there was anything profitable in it.
Therefore, he did not go back with the team because he wanted to get to know Hope Village better through observation, to understand why there were so many new creations in this territory, and how so many of their wonderful ideas were formed.
"Captain, the chief of Hope Village has returned with a team of soldiers. Do you know what they are going to do? They are going to pick up a group of goblins." At this time, a team member hurriedly came in from outside and told them what the captain had asked them to pay attention to before.
"Goblins? Is Hope Village's next plan to look for minerals? Yes, if Hope Village is upgraded, the iron ore will not be enough." Wendell speculated, "Where did they buy the goblins from?"
It is not easy to buy and sell such a large number of goblins. Is there any hidden backer behind Hope Village?
"They weren't bought. It seems they were brought back from a remote place. They were probably persuaded by the two undead goblins in Hope Village. They didn't pay a penny." The team member said with a strange look on his face, "That's why these goblins are not slaves in Hope Village, but... residents! Not to mention the undead and orcs, now there are goblins too. The people in Hope Village are really open-minded!"
Although other races can be seen in many large territories of the human kingdom, there are very few territories that accept other races as residents.
Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.
The larger the territory, the less courageous it is.
After all, some territories have suffered losses in the past.
But now, a small territory like Hope Village actually dares to do this.
Most importantly, it's coming together pretty well so far.
It is amazing that the undead and orcs are all working wholeheartedly for Hope Village. Now there is also a tribe of goblins. Judging from the way Hope Village treats them, I am afraid they will be completely loyal to it next.
It's really rare.
Wendell was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "Residents?"
"Yes, and not just the ones we brought back. Caravans from other territories smelled business opportunities and brought goblins here to sell, hoping that the village chief would buy these goblins and make them residents. Now they have all been taken to the goblin community for settlement. By the way, the goblin community is the same as the residential area. It is divided into different small areas, where the goblins live. Now they live with the undead and orcs." The team members continued to explain the situation with an incredible look on their faces.
Wendell listened with a thoughtful look on his face. After a while, he said, "There is definitely something on the goblins that Hope Village covets. Maybe it's ore! Pay more attention to the goblins' next movements and see if we can get some benefits from them in advance."
"Yes." The team member nodded. He always felt that his captain had good ideas and they were all quite right. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke again, "Is it really because of the ore? Do you hope that the village will continue to treat the goblins as usual after getting them?"
"That depends on Hope Village itself." Wendel said lightly.
From an outsider's perspective, he felt that Hope Village was still too idealistic.
After all, Hope Village will have to face countless other territories in the future. Will they allow Hope Village to create this "pure land"?
Whether it can be sustained in the future and whether it will change is still unknown! It is too early to say now.
He just didn't believe that Hope Village would still protect the goblins when it came to their own interests.
Just wait and see!
"Then how do we deal with the goblins..."
"Treat them normally. You can make money by doing this, so why not? Just pay more attention to them. Maybe you can learn about Hope Village's purpose through them." Wendel said calmly.
"yes."

In the pharmacy, which was separated from the magic equipment shop by a wall, Maria and her group were also talking about this matter.
Unlike Wendell and his friends, Maria and his friends are more trusting.
"Perhaps the reason Hope Village can accommodate so many races is that it has always followed the principle of fairness from top to bottom! Fairness applies to all residents, regardless of whether they are of the same race or not. This gives Hope Village a charm that other territories do not have!" Maria praised after listening to the whole process, radiating confidence.
During her time at Hope Village, there was a gleam in her eyes that she had never had before.
"Yes! Hope Village is the best territory for ordinary residents that I have ever seen." Henry couldn't help but agree, "But I didn't expect that he would treat the goblins so well. This place must be special for the goblins."
"If they can do this to the goblins, they will definitely be even better to us humans. At this point, it's right to follow the pace of Hope Village." Maria has already noticed the benefits of her time in Hope Village. No matter what, she still supports all the policies of Hope Village.
"So we treat the goblins the same as other residents?" Henry asked.
"Well, if you come to our store, we will treat you in a friendly way! It will also be good to win more people's hearts for the territory." Maria made the final decision.
Henry nodded.
**
In this way, even though they had different thoughts about the arrival of the goblins, when faced with the preferential treatment of the goblins by Hope Village, everyone unanimously chose to follow the principles of Hope Village and kept in mind the matter of treating the goblins well.
Sometimes, changes in thinking occur slowly through these small things until they become ingrained in their minds.
