Chapter 250: Imminent
Yi Chen and Heizi were a little emotional and embarrassed after hearing this, glad that their village did not encounter such a cheating situation, Fan Wu and other first batch of businessmen are good, although they also have ambitions and demands, but they are all within a controllable range, of course, Yi Chen also knows that this is their luck, Fan Wu Starlight City, where their original world is located, is a special place, almost all of them grew up in oppression, they may understand the truth that you should not do to others what you don't want to do to others, and the most important thing is that Yi Chen's special ability is worth their investment and training.

"The Dovis you mentioned earlier is the one who transferred to the job, right? How many merchants are there in your Icefield Town now, what are their ranks, how many ordinary people are there, and what are the specific numbers of each faction? How about urban defense? Yi Chen asked all the questions he was concerned about.
Liu Guanglin did not hide it, and answered them all one by one.
Dovis is indeed the culprit Career Changer, and he is also the de facto ruler of Icefield Town now, and there are six other merchants, but the specific level merchants will definitely not tell them, so they don't know.
After asking, Yi Chen knew that the level of Duovis should be 30, because asking Liu Guanglin let him know that when they fought before, only Duovis killed the enemy on the mount alone, and the other merchants did not have mounts when they fought, so it can be preliminarily deduced that the level of other merchants should be less than 30 and they cannot fight on the mount, of course, although this possibility is extremely high, it is not absolute.
Another point is that Liu Guanglin told Yi Chen that there were three merchants recruited by the village chief (now the town mayor) after Duowei took power, but for some reason, after being upgraded from the village to the town level, Duovis did not recruit new merchants.
Liu Guanglin didn't know this question, but Yi Chen and the others already knew it from the merchants in their village, that is, after upgrading to a town, the level of the merchants recruited was likely to be 30 levels higher, which might have an impact on the absolute rights of Dovis, so he didn't want to recruit, but he didn't dare to recruit, this is a problem that all businessmen careerists will encounter, so the merchants of Ice Plains Town have maintained 7 people so far.
The next thing is Liu Guanglin's talk about other people and forces, Bingyuan Town now has about 30,000 people, about 5,000 non-combatants, and about 15,000 other people who maintain the so-called "neutrality", completely surrender to the merchants, there are about 4,000 people who help the merchants, and the remaining 6,000 people are Liu Guanglin and the rebels here.
"So many people?" Kuroko was taken aback when he heard this, knowing that after the merger of Sunset Village and Linhai Village, there were less than 20,000 people.
"That's more, huh?" Liu Guanglin and the others were also surprised at the same time, because there used to be millions of people in their vicinity, plus the rest of Sichuan Province, they were almost 100 million, and now there are only tens of thousands of people gathered here.
When they heard that Yi Chen and their Sunset Village were only more than 10,000 people after the merger of the two villages, Liu Guanglin and the others were completely speechless and frightened, they were afraid that this was the total population of their provinces and cities, if it was really calculated in such a proportion, wouldn't there be only about a few hundred thousand people left in the country's more than one billion people, and it was terrible to think about.
However, Yi Chen enlightened: "Our two places are both provinces with large populations, it is impossible to have only this few people left, although many people will die when the earth just changes, but the survival rate cannot be so low, you must know that people's ability to survive is very strong, we don't find anyone else now because we haven't gone out to search at all, so it's not strange that we haven't found it,"
"But after the monster attacks the city, it seems that the system will release a public message, and the living people should have already gathered." A member of Liu Guanglin's team asked.
"That's true, but the scope of this release is definitely limited, some people can receive it, some people don't receive it, and don't forget what environment it is now, even if some people receive the news, they may not be able to come for the time being due to the terrain and monsters blocking the road!"
Yi Chen's words are more reliable, and most people agree with them, and then there is the last question, how is the city defense of their Ice Plain Town.
In the end, the result of the inquiry made Yi Chen and the others frown, because under the persecution of the merchants, their village had already been upgraded to a town, all the defense facilities had been built, and it seemed that they had already been preparing for the siege, this was the news revealed by their village chief, which was also the reason why many people joined the rebels, although life is much more difficult than before, as long as they don't die, there is still a certain guarantee of safety, but the siege is different, the dead are certain, and the number of dead people will not be less, Of course, they don't want to help them because of the ambitions of the merchants, which is why the rebels are so numerous, and as the atmosphere in the city grows more and more tense, some neutrals have also begun to sneak out to find the rebels to take refuge, which is a bit ironic, these are the standard wall grass.
"What are your plans now?" Yi Chen asked.
"What else can we plan, first improve our strength, and then kill the merchants to take back the town is our goal, but Brother Yi, can you talk to your village leaders and merchants, can you let us go to your village to purchase and trade?"
Liu Guanglin said so much, and finally said the purpose, a stable trade area is what they urgently need, otherwise even if they have money, there is no place to use it, their gold coins are now equivalent to waste paper, because they can't circulate at all, you must know that within the rebels, some daily necessities such as salt can now be sold for a sky-high price of dozens of gold coins, and the irony is that even so, almost no one is willing to sell, because whoever takes the money is useless now.
However, although Liu Guanglin's team was looking forward to Yi Chen's answer, they didn't have much hope from their eyes, because Yi Chen and Heizi looked too young, and they thought that in Sunset Village, Yi Chen should not have the right to talk directly to the upper echelons, but there should still be a chance to find someone to pass the word.
As for knowing the location of Yi Chen and the others' villages, why don't they go directly, in fact, it is very simple, although they have thousands of people, but Sunset Village has city defenses and merchants, it is impossible for them to attack it, it is better to use the method of communication, but they think that Sunset Village is likely to refuse, because they are too populated, and mixing in may be an unstable factor, so it is very likely to be rejected.
However, no matter what, they have to give it a try, because now they have a lot of discordant factors inside, the snatching of limited materials often causes disputes, and there has been no consumption and replenishment, and hiding in this mountain will often encounter high-level monsters and casualties, which have shaken the will of some people who have no direct grudges with the merchants, and a small number of people have been unable to stand up and plan to go back to the village to compromise, although the siege is dangerous, but there is also danger outside, and life is much harder, Therefore, the Sunset Village brought by Yi Chen can be regarded as a lifesaver, otherwise they will have a big problem within the rebel army sooner or later.
