The pursuit was fruitless, and Louis and his gang had no choice but to return.

After Zhou Qingfeng and the others dispersed, they ran for two or three kilometers, released the hidden servant to make sure that the opponent failed to pursue, and converged again. This evacuation was fortunate that Inisha sent someone out early to pick it up, otherwise a large number of people would have been lost.

reunited, everyone did not react, and they were used to winning and losing. Only Zhou Qingfeng's face was ugly. Inissa slowly approached and asked in a low voice, "Victor, how are your injuries?" ”

"It's fine." Zhou Qingfeng had a lot of blood under his right ribs, and the heavy iron armor failed to prevent the opponent's attack. He took off his armor, and his clothes were soaked with blood and frozen. Although the wound healed, there was still a blood-red knife mark.

"It's a good thing that I got this knife." Zhou Qingfeng suddenly said in a low voice. The others heard it clearly and looked sideways.

It didn't take long for Inisha and the others to participate in the fight, and there was still a feeling of 'I can't help the opponent, I can only be chased away'. Adrian and Kelly, who didn't show up, were busy rescuing the slave girl in distress, and finally came back, and they were not in a good mood.

In this environment in the Northlands, the followers of Aulul took advantage of it. The lava stones can only be surprisingly restrained for a while, and after they get rid of them easily, their combat power can be increased by more than 50% in the cold wind. In another place, they are definitely not that strong.

"Sober, all of a sudden, sobered me up." Zhou Qingfeng was still shouting. Everyone else was afraid that he couldn't afford to lose this time, but they didn't know how to comfort him.

Inisha whispered, "Victor, in fact, you have gained a lot this time. Being able to get so many people and supplies from the Banshee Castle solves a lot of our problems and makes us understand the strength of our opponents. ”

In the Banshee Castle, Zhou Qingfeng spent several times the price to transport more than 100 tons of oats. It seems to be a loss of money, but it is the most lacking in morality. Others corrupted the enemy's magnates, bought the local products of the Northland at a low price, and poached one or two hundred people are all trivial and not worth mentioning.

In the Northland, food is life.

Food prices are irrational, and if there is a shortage of 10 percent of grain, grain prices will not rise by 10 percent. Because food is just needed, if you lack food, you will starve or even starve to death. As a result, the price of food will continue to rise until the poor-strapped population simply cannot afford it.

In the face of a 10 percent food shortage, not everyone will be nine percent full, but one in 10 people will be in a state of food shortage, or even starve to death.

Zhou Qingfeng bought grain at a premium of 50 percent. But by the time he ran away, the price of food in Banshee Castle had risen two or three times compared to normal. The magnates who control the food make a lot of money, but the civilians of the Banshee Castle are full of complaints, and the poor are even more unable to live.

The managers of the Banshee Castle also had no plans for relief, and sat back and watched the people's grievances boil. This alone is not enough to spend money to settle the matter, and the trouble caused is enough to make Louie. Fils hated to kill Zhou Qingfeng a hundred times.

Not to mention that after Zhou Qingfeng raised the price of grain, Louis. Fils's cost of using food to control the other lords of the Northlands will be greatly increased. This will significantly reduce the combat readiness of the Fils family, which cannot be restored in a short time.

"Victor, don't be too yourself, and don't think everything will go well. This mentality is not good. You've taken advantage of the Banshee Castle. In addition to food, cloth and other supplies, you also got a population.

We now have no shortage of people who can fight and fight, and we lack people who can manage affairs. It is obvious that the villagers and adventurers in the village who can't even write their names will not be able to do it. The people I sent back last time were all good, they could copy, write, and calculate, and they all came in handy. ”

Poor places like the Black Forest have always been ignorant and barbaric. Inisha had learned a lot of things by studying before she went into exile. Apart from her, no other human settlements could find any cultured people.

Before, there was a 'holy light' in the village, and it was quite convenient to contact and communicate. But as soon as Zhou Qingfeng left, many things changed in communication. Iniza's orders to the actual executor may even be understood in complete contradiction.

In the face of a group of illiterate people in the village, Inisha has the ability to talk to the sky. About a month ago, the first batch of students collected by Zhou Qingfeng were sent back. These people are not taken seriously elsewhere, but they come in handy in Harmony Village.

Being able to express her ideas clearly and not make mistakes in communication is a great satisfaction for Iniza in management.

What's even better is that after Zhou Qingfeng's beating and selection, the students sent back are not arrogant. Let them do whatever they want, including teaching others in the village to learn, so that knowledge can be spread in an easy and inexpensive way.

"With these students, it's a lot easier for me. You don't have to try your best every day to command the stupid people below, this matter will naturally have a headache. Inisha talked about the results of Zhou Qingfeng's trip to Banshee Castle and gave a high evaluation.

But Zhou Qingfeng himself said in a deep voice: "What I have a headache now is not ourselves, but the enemy is not the same as I thought."

I didn't feel it when I dealt with the Longleg family before, but now I realized that I couldn't underestimate the heroes of the cities in the Northland. If you can't win on the battlefield, what if you win on other fronts? ”

Inisha wanted to say some nice comfort, but Zhou Qingfeng touched his split armor, frowned and said, "I split him, but he didn't react." He hacked me, and I almost hung up. The combat mode of this world is so annoying! ”

In the world of swords and sorcery, a small amount of high-end combat power can determine the direction of war. Zhou Qingfeng had enough soul crystals in the past, and he himself was a high-end combat force that affected the balance of the battlefield. Now

"I still have to find a way to get some high-quality soul crystals."

The journey back to Harmony Village is long, and it will take at least ten days to get back. After the men and horses of the Banshee Castle stopped pursuing, Zhou Qingfeng had to stop and wait, gathering the scattered retreating personnel.

On the first night of rest, Zhou Qingfeng politely declined Inisa's kindness to accompany him. He slept into the information network in a tent and prepared to return to the real world to get some soul crystals.

In the past, the method of obtaining mass murder was banned because of the promotion of violence, private trials, detailed criminal history, and the uncovering of many scars, which caused bad public opinion tendencies.

Now it can only be obtained by doing quests.

What's the task?

Help the grandmother cross the street 100 times and get a gray crystal.

Vomit blood!

The time-traveling TV shows a list of tasks, which are basically based on harmony, and the benefits are extremely different. Zhou Qingfeng searched for a long time before he found a task that might suit him to start a business, create jobs, and improve national GDP.

There is also a bracket at the end of the task to solve the employment problem of the poor, and the benefits are doubled. Engage in public welfare undertakings and double the income.

Thinking about it, I have a beautiful and capable beauty as a backing, and a public servant in the system as a helper, it seems that it is not difficult to run a business, and it is not a big deal to spend money to create jobs and engage in charity, so it should be poverty alleviation.

Old Professor Zheng had already turned into a necromantic apprentice, and floating behind Zhou Qingfeng also saw the predicament he was facing, and took the initiative to pat him on the shoulder and said, "I have mastered some simple techniques now, and I can help you." ”

Zhou Qingfeng rolled his eyes, "What can you help?" ”

"What about public welfare, what do you think about environmental protection? It also happens to be able to absorb a lot of poor people with limited capacity and lack of competitiveness to find employment. ”

"Do you mean sweeping the streets?"

"Garbage disposal, I'll do it."

"It's still sweeping the streets."
