After a while, a group of more than a dozen people followed Zhou Bai upstairs.
The appearance of this group is quite eye-catching in the lord's mansion.
"Fuck, when did so many territory lords come to our Hope Village?"
"They have been here for a long time. Just because they are here doesn't necessarily mean they will reveal their identities."
"Yeah! If they hadn't suddenly revealed themselves just now, I wouldn't have known they had been here for so long."
"Also, they just revealed their identities because there are benefits! What can they do by cutting in line?"
"I just overheard something nearby, and it seems to be targeting the market open to tourists."
"There are 100 of them! I guess we should reserve a good spot in advance."
"Is this considered a privilege? Didn't Hope Village treat everyone equally? Why are the nobles still different?"
"It seems that there are still different levels!"
...
...
"Are you out of your mind? Saying something like that? Are you…"
"No, no, I was just saying it casually. The location of tourists has nothing to do with me."
"What did you say?"
"That's right! You haven't been to other territories, so you don't know how special the status of a noble is. In the territories I know, if a noble kills you, they only need a very small compensation and then pretend nothing happened."
"this……"
"Don't be so ungrateful for what you have."
"Besides, there are many seats for tourists from other territories. The only ones who can afford to rent them are nobles from other territories and powerful mercenary teams and caravans. Based on the current number of people taking the seats, there are more than enough. It doesn't matter if they choose a seat in advance. On the contrary, it is beneficial to our territory."
"Next, we will be able to buy specialty products from other territories in Hope Village. How cool is that!"
"The most important thing is that if we have a full range of goods, we will attract more and more tourists. Then Hope Village will be a real distribution center for goods. As residents there, life will be much easier!"
"The village chief is clearly considering the long-term interests of the territory, but some people don't understand and have the nerve to question it."
"He is really an ungrateful person."
“…”
The person who initially raised only a slight doubt was now really being bullied by the people around him and his face turned red.
He didn't mean to cause trouble, he just felt a little uncomfortable. Before the doomsday, he was considered a man of some achievement, but after the doomsday, he came to this world and had been struggling at the bottom. Looking at the different classes, he couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
Now that he was being attacked by everyone, after he regained his senses, he realized that it was all his own fault.
"I'm sorry." After saying this, he ran away quickly.
Watching him leave, the person who had just spoken snorted and went about his own business.
It’s not that they don’t allow others to question Hope Village, but Hope Village has done a good enough job in treating its residents. Other things can be questioned, but no one can question this aspect alone.
The crowd around dispersed, and the matter seemed to be over. However, in the eyes of some people who were paying close attention, it was not over.
"The residents of Hope Village really protect Hope Village!" In a corner of the Lord's Mansion, Marvin, who came from Benguela Town to deliver a message, couldn't help but sigh in Wendel's ear, "But Hope Village is really good to the residents. Many people from our territory have moved here. Looking at the data, the mayor is getting more and more uneasy. I don't know how the lord will explain it when he comes back."
As Marvin spoke later, he naturally mentioned some of the problems that the town of Benguela is currently facing.
Who makes Benguela town so close to Hope Village, and Hope Village is quite famous in Benguela town.
Once you start talking, you can't stop.
After all, even many professionals have left, let alone ordinary residents.
After all, Hope Village can give the former a broader prospect and the latter a more stable life.
"Are there many people leaving?" Wendell said in surprise.
He still felt that the influx of population into the town of Benguela should not be a cause for concern for the mayor.
"There are a lot of ordinary residents. You know, although ordinary residents are not strong, their existence is also very important to the territory." Marvin said helplessly. The town of Benguela treats ordinary residents well. In addition, ordinary people can also obtain a lot of things through gathering and sell them to professionals, so their lives are relatively stable.
But there is no harm without comparison.
I hope the village treats its residents better and gives them real things.
Thinking about it, Marvin added, "So the mayor also suspected that you were also planning to move."
Wendell listened and said without hesitation, "Of course not!"
But I couldn't help but feel a little nervous in my heart.
To be honest, the longer he stayed in Hope Village, the more he watched the buildings in Hope Village rise from the ground and the rapid development of Hope Village, he admitted that he regretted it a little, especially after seeing Maria and other mercenaries who used to be from Benguela Town living a new life in Hope Village.
But at this point, he knew that he could no longer retreat, so he could only stick to his original choice.
Moreover, he resides in Hope Village with the town of Benguela behind him, which is actually no different from developing in Hope Village.
It's just a nominal distinction.
Thinking of this, Wendell felt relieved again, and then asked, "Does the mayor have any other instructions?"
"No, the mayor has sent someone to deliver a letter to the lord. If nothing unexpected happens, the lord will be back soon." Marvin said quickly, "The other thing is a personal matter. They asked us to help sell some goods in Hope Village."
Wendell listened and said directly: "That's no problem. I will try to use other people's names to occupy a market place for the mayor and Benguela Town. How to deal with it then depends on the mayor's opinion."
"Yeah." Marvin nodded. He was one of Wendel's confidants, and he also had a share in the previous shop. From the money he earned, it can be seen that the consumption capacity of Hope Village is really very strong.
As long as their products are competitive, coupled with the flow of people in the market, it will definitely be a great tool for making money.
This is also handing the benefits back to the mayor.
Then, the two of them headed towards the number-picking area.
Wendell was naturally planning to occupy a market stall of his own. If he could use his own name, he would naturally not use someone else's.
At the scene, many mercenary team leaders from other territories also made the same choice.
Even if there were some who originally had concerns, after seeing the choices made by so many lords, their concerns were dispelled.
Being able to make more than a dozen territory lords make a firm choice is really not something that an ordinary territory can do, especially since Hope Village is just a village.
**
At the same time, the business management office on the second floor.
A dozen lords and nobles were standing in front of a board watching the location of the stalls.
Even though the sizes of the stalls are the same, their locations are quite different.
Especially the location of the store entrance, it is definitely a “popular shop”.
Jin Jingshan and others had a clear understanding of the situation in their territory and quickly chose a location that suited them.
On the contrary, Guo Yunxiu, in order to open up the market as quickly as possible, chose a core location without hesitation. This location is also the most expensive one among the prices marked above.
Absolutely a golden shop!
But just after Guo Yunxiu made her choice, Viscount Keynes interrupted and said, "I want this one too."
Guo Yunxiu listened, frowned, and said subconsciously: "I chose it first."
"I can offer a higher price. I heard that the previous stalls adopted a bidding model. The village chief is giving you convenience, you can't let others not make money." Viscount Keynes replied with a smile, and what he said was more reasonable.
This location is a crossroads next to one of the main roads, so he must take it. Since he has to choose, he might as well choose the best one.
Guo Yunxiu looked at Viscount Keynes, who looked like a smiling tiger, and pursed her lips.
If she could win it by bidding, she would certainly be willing to bid, but she knew very well that in terms of financial resources, she would most likely not be able to compete with the other party.
But she felt a little unwilling to give up.
Also, the price is marked above, which is obviously a non-bidding method.
Upon seeing this, Viscount Keynes's mouth curled up slightly, as if he had already secured victory.
Zhou Bai, who was watching this scene, stood up and said, "Viscount Cairns, I will use the number-taking method for the market stalls for tourists this time. I don't plan to bid on the stalls this time."
On your own territory, you can't let your compatriots be "bullied" by others!
Furthermore, she should have explained it in advance, but the sudden appearance of these lords just now made her ignore the possibility that so many people chose the same stall.
Sure enough, sometimes when the rules are broken, "accidents" are likely to happen.
Try to avoid it if you can in the future!
Zhou Bai secretly warned himself in his heart.
After hearing Zhou Bai's words, Viscount Keynes's face instantly darkened and he looked at Zhou Bai in disbelief.
Obviously, he didn't expect that the person who would sabotage him would be Zhou Bai.
Guo Yunxiu on the side also stared at Zhou Bai in a daze.
From the enthusiastic tone of Viscount Keynes just now, we knew that there must be business dealings between the two parties. The other party must feel that he is closer to Hope Village, so he is so unscrupulous.
Or maybe the other party didn't take her territory, which was ranked lower, seriously and was sure that she would give in.
So in terms of value, the other party is more valuable.
But Zhou Bai couldn't possibly say that.
Therefore, in this situation, it is best for Zhou Bai not to intervene in the dispute.
But, she inserted it.
She knew exactly what Zhou Bai was doing.
His mind moved slightly, and then he looked at the gloomy Viscount Keynes and took the initiative to say: "Forget it, I'll choose another position."
She was also willing to take a step back for Zhou Bai.
It can be sold in other places too! Although I feel very uncomfortable when my choice is snatched away.
Viscount Keynes listened, looked at Zhou Bai and asked, "What now?"
"All of us territories started from scratch after arriving in the Stan Continent. It wasn't easy. Moreover, we came from the same place and are companions. If I don't protect them, who else can?" Zhou Bai continued, pointing out his thoughts, and said sincerely, "I hope you can understand."
Viscount Keynes listened, looked at Zhou Bai, then looked at Guo Yunxiu and his party, and snorted, "Forget it, I'll give you some face!"
He never believed that there would be so-called companions between the territories of the human kingdom.
But what happened just now made him see some clues.
This time, just help them.
Let him see what their future will be like.
