At this time, Zhou Bai didn't know that there was a career-minded person who was diligently looking for an ally to cause trouble for Hope Village. Both she and Hope Village were concentrating on development.
After all, at this stage, Hope Village is just opening up to the outside world, and we are using the territory’s goods and welfare to attract people first. If we want to attract more people to settle down later, we naturally have to increase the territory’s supporting facilities.
In addition, the territory has just experienced a territory war, and there is still a long time before the next territory war, so there is just enough time to develop.
The time is right, the place is right, and the people are right; it is the best time.
For Zhou Bai, these few days were also a rare opportunity for her to relax and devote herself to the battle.
The affairs of the territory have long been put into good order under a gradually established system.
Currently, Xiwang Village has seven departments, and the number of staff in each department is no less than ten people, not to mention some special departments such as the Urban Construction Management Office and the Commercial Management Office, which have dozens or even hundreds of staff.
With sufficient staff and clear responsibilities, basically, if there are any new events in the territory, each department can assign and handle these new events in a very short time, and after completion, they will be summarized and one title will be submitted.
With this group of helpers, Zhou Bai, as the lord, naturally felt much more relaxed.
Just by looking at the title, Zhou Bai can roughly understand what happened in the territory. If there is any event that she is interested in and needs to pay attention to, she can also find the file with the corresponding number through the title above and read it in detail.
...
...
The staff of the Lord's Mansion have become accustomed to this situation, and even gradually feel that it is quite good. They do things according to the prescribed procedures and have a certain degree of autonomy, so they can do things very smoothly.
Many of them are local residents. They also understand the situation in other territories and the operation of the lord's mansion. It is definitely not as open as in Hope Village. Some important events are basically decided by the lord, and they have no right to participate.
However, one thing is that participating in Hope Village does not mean that they have the decision-making power, because many things are discussed by everyone and the overall power is shared. After the power is shared, they have almost no power, at least no autocratic power.
Although they did not enjoy the privileges they had imagined when they joined the Lord's Mansion, after being in the Mansion for a long time and getting used to this office environment, they unconsciously increased their trust in their own territory.
Because they knew very well that the territory would never suddenly target them for unfounded reasons one day, and they no longer had to worry about accidentally offending the nobles.
There is essentially only one thing they have to do: work hard and build their territory.
At this time, the Lord's Mansion.
Zhou Bai arrived at his office early in the morning.
Valhalla: Intermediate Physician, Intermediate Architect, Intermediate Blacksmith, Intermediate Pharmacist.
Beast Temple: Intermediate Warrior (Tauren)
Today's NPCs are still mostly mid-level, especially those summoned by Valhalla. They are all NPCs with relatively strong skills, and are also what the territory needs most now.
It really fits my heart!
Zhou Bai clicked on all summons without hesitation and directly issued corresponding notifications to these NPCs.
She summoned NPCs again these two days, because
So far, the NPCs that have come to Hope Village have adapted well.
However, there is one thing. The Tauren summoned these days all come from the same territory. According to the information reported by Lucas and O'Neill, their territory was invaded by another orc territory, resulting in a shortage of food in the territory. This territory is a territory that can be won over.
She was well aware of Lucas and O'Neill's intention to bring these orcs to Hope Village again, but she was still unwilling to force it.
When they came to Hope Village, she treated them fairly as she treated all the other residents. They were paid according to how much work they did. As for whether they came or not, it depended on their personal wishes.
Putting this matter aside for the moment, Zhou Bai began to look at the territory affairs submitted.
1. The main construction of the holiday villa officially started.
2. Summary of conscription lists.
3. Summary of the names of new staff members in each department.
4. Application for leasing a factory.
5. Application for farmland expansion.
6. Application for new animal training facilities at breeding farms.
7,……
…
Looking at these summarized titles, Zhou Bai didn't need to touch them because they had already been processed. She would just take out the ones that needed her processing one by one and check them in detail.
More than two months ago, Zhou Bai might have been a little uncomfortable handling these matters, but now, she can handle them with ease.
After a short while, Zhou Bai had finished the task.
After stretching, Zhou Bai came out of his office.
As soon as she came out, Bayer, whose office was only separated from hers by a wall, hurried over and directly took the documents from Zhou Bai's hand.
Looking at Bayer, who was in charge of a department and also acted as his secretary, Zhou Bai silently gave her a thumbs up.
It turned out that I had trained a capable assistant for myself!
"Village chief, are you going out again?" Bayer asked.
Zhou Bai had been going out early and coming back late these past two days, and he had also advanced one level, now he was at level 17. Such a significant improvement was bound to attract attention.
"Yeah." Zhou Bai nodded. Relying on the map function of the lord panel, she specifically looked for places with few Warcraft people to hunt these days, and earned a lot of money.
He didn't feel anything when he was just over level 10, but after reaching level 15, both his magic release and skill proficiency had clearly climbed to a higher level. Currently, Zhou Bai was becoming more and more adept at dealing with mid-level monsters.
The most important thing is that the experience value of the intermediate monsters has doubled, and the quality is far superior to the previous primary monsters.
The faster your experience points increase, the faster your levels will naturally increase.
In fact, it is not just Zhou Bai. Many professionals in Hope Village have already felt the benefits of intermediate-level monsters and are chasing after them one after another!
Under such circumstances, the levels of all professionals in the entire territory are rising rapidly, and the stronger the person, the faster the increase.
I think it won’t take long before intermediate professionals in the entire territory will emerge like mushrooms after rain.
At this time, Zhou Bai also understood why a territory had to continue to develop and upgrade in order to retain people.
Because we are isolated in a corner, the gap between us and the rest of the world will only get bigger and bigger.
Especially for the residents of the territory, the experience points gained from the same energy in a small town will be twice that of a level 3 town, not to mention a city.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai felt that if the strength of the territory could be guaranteed, it might not be impossible to upgrade to a small town early.
Undead, orcs, these are all important fighting forces!
"Then please go early, village chief." After saying this skillfully, Bayer took the documents and distributed them to various departments. By the way, he also had to receive the new NPC.
I have gone through this process several times in the past few days. How could I not be familiar with it?
Bayer was like this, and so were the staff on the entire floor, who all kept their heads down and did their own work.
There have been a lot of people coming to the territory recently, and the number of incidents they have to deal with has doubled compared to before.
If you want to get off work on time, you have to work hard.
Even if there is overtime pay for overtime work, they still hope to have more personal time.
Zhou Bai couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth as he watched this scene.
These people are also the ones who built her kingdom!
Without stopping, Zhou Bai went straight out of the lord's mansion, and then went to the station at the door to wait for the animal cart, saving time going out of the city.
Shortly after Zhou Bai left, Bernie arrived at Hope Village through the mission center.
Before coming here, he had heard that Hope Village was now crowded, but when he actually saw the packed crowds, he couldn't help but be surprised.
He had never seen a level 3 village quest center with so many people.
Even vacation missions are no exception.
You know, there were some bold territories that opened similar channels, but in the end they either could not afford the impact of so many territory mercenaries, or they were completely unable to attract personnel.
As a fledgling territory, Hope Village's appeal is truly amazing.
Bernie didn't know at this time that the reason for this crowded situation was that after hearing about the situation in Hope Village, people from several other Blue Star territories began to rush into Hope Village frantically.
After all, after coming to Stan Continent, many Blue Star people still miss Blue Star in their hearts. The longer they stay in Stan Continent, the more they miss it.
At present, Hope Village is the best developed of all the Blue Star territories, and it also has the most replicas of the Blue Star delicacies in their memories.
Hoping that the delicious food in the village could alleviate their homesickness to some extent, they flocked to it like crazy.
As for the residents coming from other native territories, a large majority of them are also residents of territories that have dealings with Hope Village.
Some are far away, and some are near. The farthest ones are several days' journey to Hope Village. The reason they know Hope Village is because some caravans sold goods to their territories. They have all tried to eat or use things from Hope Village, and have formed a preliminary impression, and a good impression. They can't forget the food and things in Hope Village. Therefore, as soon as the "mission" of free vacation in Hope Village came out, they came here happily. Even if some of them have never tried the food in Hope Village, seeing people around them discussing it, they would make this trip even for their own face; as for those who are closer, they are more influenced by Hope Village. On weekdays, they often follow the caravans from their own territories to and from Hope Village. Now that they have this mission, it is more convenient for them to travel, so naturally they still have to go out.
The combination of various factors has led to the prosperous Hope Village.
And it is foreseeable that this is just the beginning.
After expressing his feelings, Bernie slowly squeezed out from the crowd.
The moment he came out of the mission center, the interior environment of Hope Village began to come into his sight.
The moment he saw it, Bernie was completely stunned.
Because the current environment is so different from what he remembered.
It had only been a short while, but he felt like he had moved to a new territory! He was really a little shocked!
The development speed is really too fast!
While he was still immersed in the beauty of Hope Village, many tour guides came towards him in an instant.
"Do you need a tour guide? One-stop service will help you have a full and satisfying day in Hope Village."
“There are gourmet routes, sightseeing routes, business routes… everything is available for you to choose from.”
“It only takes 99 copper coins to bring you 99 times the happiness.”
“…”
Several tour guides asked questions, but they kept a distance from each other, and their earnest attitude did not cause anyone to feel disgusted.
At least Bernie has felt the so-called happiness of tourists.
This attitude and this service made him want to pay.
It’s just 99 copper coins!
Just when he subconsciously wanted to pay, he suddenly remembered the purpose of coming to Hope Village. He could only put his fist to his lips and coughed to cover it up. He said, "I'm not a tourist. I came to Hope Village for business. I came to see your village chief."
After hearing what Bernie said, the tour guides at the scene expressed their understanding and hurried to find the next target. Of course, some people kindly reminded him, "You may be late. Our village chief just left the territory in a beast cart. He must have gone out hunting. Generally speaking, he will not be back until the evening."
Bernie listened and was silent for a moment.
It's been so long, and the village chief is still like this!
Hope Village is so lively, how can the head of the village be so idle?
With this in mind, Bernie still headed towards the lord's mansion.
Zhou Bai is not here, but Lord Bayer should still be here!
The other party could be considered a close confidant of the village chief Zhou Bai, so he just had to convey his message.
After a while, Bernie met Bayer in the name of Viscount Lancelot.
"Does Viscount Lancelot have anything to discuss with us?" Bayer had a good impression of Viscount Lancelot. In addition, the two sides would have a relatively long-term cooperation in the future, so Bayer's attitude was quite enthusiastic.
"I am just giving you a piece of news on behalf of our Lord. The Lord of Barnes Village, Viscount Robin, is preparing to gather forces from nearby territories to target Hope Village because of the serious loss of residents in his territory." Bernie said in a serious manner, "They were refused to go to our territory, but the direction they are heading should be the area of Yuxi Village and Qinghe Village."
Bayer listened and paused.
Banes Village? Qinghe Village?
After going over the information about these two territories in his mind, Bayer already had an idea in his mind.
Neither territory treats its residents very well.
Especially Qinghe Village, which has the same origin as Xiwang Village. Those people felt uncomfortable staying there and ran away without any hesitation.
It would be very difficult for such a territory to pose a threat to the current Hope Village!
"Also, Barnes Village is now controlling the outflow of residents. If residents want to leave their territory, they have to pay a certain price. Our lord has mentioned that if Barnes Village continues like this, the territory is likely to become empty..." Bernie continued, and after he finished speaking, he paused and didn't continue.
It seemed like everything had been said, but it also seemed like there was something left unsaid.
After Bayer contacted the other party, he understood what the other party meant.
Viscount Lancelot probably wants to cooperate with Hope Village to swallow up Barnes Village through private attacks rather than territorial wars.
It has to be said that after Bayer realized what was happening, his heart started beating rapidly.
The complete resources of a territory are much richer than the spoils of a territory war.
If it can be swallowed up, I hope the village’s development will be able to reach a higher level.
But he didn't know whether the lord would agree.
Because this matter is essentially a form of "aggression".
"Okay, thank you Viscount Lancelot for telling me. I will tell our village chief when she comes back." Bayer said quickly after coming back to his senses.
He cannot make the decision on this matter. In the end, he still has to listen to the lord.
Bernie also noticed the change in Bayer's expression just now, and he knew that he was moved.
But he also knew that the person in front of him would not be the one to make the decision.
Thinking about it, Bernie said, "Our Lord may come to Hope Village frequently in the near future. We can communicate more then."
"Yeah." Bayer nodded.
After venting his anger, Bernie stood up and said goodbye.
After Bernie left, Bayer thought for a while, suppressed his emotions, and then returned to what Bernie said first.
Bayer immediately contacted the Human Resources Management Office.
"Let me see the latest population registration." Bayer said to Rao Jiayu.
"Yes." Rao Jiayu was originally doing statistics. Hearing this, he quickly searched through the folders on his desktop and quickly found the population registration files up to yesterday.
After Bayer took it, he began to read it page by page.
[Toby, intermediate professional, 34 years old, mercenary, Benguela town.]
[Kenny, mid-level professional, 30 years old, mercenary, Benguela town.]
[Bitton, intermediate professional, 29 years old, swordsman, Benguela town.]
【……】
Looking at the large list of residents from the small town of Benguela, Bayer couldn't help but hold his forehead.
It seems like the town of Benguela has seen quite a bit of population influx!
Rao Jiayu watched Bayer flipping through the books, still reading something in his mouth, his expression changed slightly, and then he pulled out another folder from the side and handed it to Bayer.
"Lord Bayer, I have also collected some statistics on the overall number of residents from surrounding territories and other territories entering Hope Village."
Bayer listened and looked at Rao Jiayu in surprise. This was not within the other party's job scope, and of course, they had not explained it.
Next, Bayer looked at the form.
In this table, all the data is clear at a glance.
Benguela town: 1,409 people.
Banes Village: 502 people.
Glasgow Village: 238 people.
Yuxi Village: 376 people.
Qinghe Village: 622 people.
Djibouti Village: 192 people.
Ambree Village: 30 people.
Rizet Village: 27 people.
…
Looking at the data, Bayer couldn't help but say in his heart, "As expected."
With the influx of population into Hope Village, Barnes Village definitely can’t even rank on the list!
Currently the area with the largest influx of population into Hope Village is... the small town of Benguela.
The small town of Benguela is much more difficult to deal with than the village of Banes!
Absorbing so many people, which is the minimum number for a level 2 village, will definitely attract attention.
The lord of the small town of Benguela is much more difficult to deal with than the lord of the village of Banes.
I still don’t know what the other party’s attitude is towards population loss?
We must prepare to respond quickly.
Banes Village + Qinghe Village = no threat.
Benguela town + Banes village + Qinghe village = huge threat.
At the moment Bayer was considering this, Viscount Olcott's team had already set out from the small town of Benguela and headed towards Hope Village.
Two chapters in one big fat chapter~
Due to time constraints, the end of Chapter 282 has been slightly modified. The lord of Benguela Town is going to come to Hope Village after a rest! I will explain it here, which has no impact on reading the article.
