In order for human society to develop, the division of labor is necessary.

The village has always been poor, and it is important to note that the villagers here do not trust each other and are unable to cooperate in the division of labor. Even the already weak strength cannot be gathered and utilized.

It wasn't until Zhou Qingfeng appeared that the people in the village had a leader who gave orders in a unified manner. Just arranging for people to patrol and boil some hot water made a bunch of fools realize that only by working together can they live a good life.

There is no shortage of wood in the forest, and the bonfires lit at night greatly enhance the villagers' sense of security. Old Borg lent a few large pots of boiling water, and the villagers took a bath in the open air to clean themselves of the dead skin and dirt accumulated over the years.

After bathing, people went to bake their clothes around the campfire, and each tattered shirt was like a treasure, and the hot mist was full of rare laughter.

Cleanliness is a very, very important thing – everybody knows Nightingale's story. But few people know that before Nightingale, the death rate of the wounded in Britain was more than 40 percent.

Nightingale simply boiled and sterilized the gauze used by the wounded, and the mortality rate of the wounded was reduced to less than three percent. Because of her fruitful and even groundbreaking work, she is known as the 'Goddess of Lanterns'.

Zhou Qingfeng didn't realize so much, he simply couldn't stand the dirty himself, so he washed off the smelly mud in a compartment, changed his clothes and returned to the dwarf witch doctor's shack, "Old Borg, aren't you going to take a bath?" ”

The old dwarf was standing at the door of his shack, staring at the naked villagers outside and sighing. Before the village was built, he built a house next to the swamp. There are more than 300 people in the village now, and it is the first time he has seen so many people smiling.

In response to Zhou Qingfeng's inquiry, the old dwarf pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "How can you humans love cleanliness like elves?" We gnomes never bathe, and we don't feel anything uncomfortable. Bathing can make people sick, don't you know? ”

The old dwarf said with a smug face. Zhou Qingfeng finally washed it up, and when he heard it, he couldn't help but stay away from it, he really couldn't stand the smelly smell that had accumulated over the years on the other party's body. But the other party still wanted to come over and asked in a low voice......

"Victor, how sure are you about entering the Elven Ruins?"

"Not that sure." Zhou Qingfeng was also frank, "The goblins of the Maglu tribe want to rule the entire Black Forest, and the human race is already at a disadvantage, and now they have to fight among themselves. In this case, how do I go about finding the elven ruins? ”

"So ......?"

"So don't let those goblins run rampant. Otherwise, let alone going on an adventure, it will be difficult for us to even survive. ”

Zhou Qingfeng's words are half-true.

The goblin plank road is a natural hazard, and after being blocked, no adventurer can escape unless they can fly. The humans in the forest are grasshoppers on a rope, but they still have to fight among themselves. Zhou Qingfeng just wanted to escape, exploring the elven ruins or something was just a pretext.

But this excuse sounded very tempting to the old dwarf. It continued, "You want to integrate the villagers of this Black Marsh Village to fight the Magru tribe?" ”

"That's the plan."

"Impossible." The old dwarf categorically vetoed, "It's impossible for the people in this village to go on adventures with you, they are all timid and selfish. No matter how much you give them, they won't die for you.

And there are no strong adventurers in the village. With that piece of shit, you can't take on any of the forces in the Black Forest. ”

Zhou Qingfeng nodded and smiled bitterly, "I know, but I have to try." ”

As he spoke, the old dwarf's servant brought over a shrunken fellow. When this person saw Zhou Qingfeng, he hurriedly lay down and cried, shouting 'Your Excellency Hugo', crawling over and trying to hug his thighs.

Uncle Zhou just took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and when he saw that someone was going to hug him, he hurriedly shouted: "Stop, if you dare to get close to me, you will be killed." ”

It was Rubio, a profiteer who bought medicinal herbs in the village, who climbed over, and his family property was robbed, and he scolded in a fit of rage, and he was in a posture of dying. But Zhou Qingfeng listened to the servants laughing and talking, and immediately felt that this person was available, so he called him over.

Now the conditions are limited, loyalty and character are not something that Zhou Qingfeng can consider at all, and ability is the most important. Todd was badly injured and collapsed, forcing him to do everything he could, and it was a personal matter that would have to come in handy.

Rubio was pretending to cry, but after being stopped by Zhou Qingfeng, he obediently got up, leaning his back to listen to the command, "Your Excellency Hugo, I heard that you are looking for me?" ”

In the face of this kind of profiteer, Zhou Qingfeng must be careful. He was not polite, and said straight to the point: "I sent someone to you to purchase, and I heard that my subordinates robbed your shop?" ”

"yes." Rubio couldn't figure out what the 'noble boy' was thinking, but he immediately shouted bitterly: "Sir, you are a noble man, and you don't know the temperament of those poor ghosts. They don't have brains, they don't understand the rules, and they only do bad things.

I'd love to make a deal with you, but those poor devils come to my shop like robbers. They took all my cargo and cost me a lot. There's no way I'm going to be able to continue my business. ”

Rubio stretched out his hand to make a helpless gesture, and the more he spoke, the more miserable it became, and he was about to shed a few tears.

Zhou Qingfeng just sneered at this, and waited for the other party to finish speaking. Only then did he say, "Yes, the people in the village are unruly, selfish and greedy. The food I paid for, they dared to hide it secretly. So I want to teach them a lesson. ”

Rubio's eyes rolled when he listened, and he didn't know what Zhou Qingfeng wanted to do?

Uncle Zhou turned his head to the old dwarf and asked, "Is it okay to lend me your men?" ”

The old dwarf didn't know what Zhou Qingfeng wanted to do, but he was still worried about the elf ruins, so he naturally didn't allow anything to do with this little thing.

So Zhou Qingfeng called a few servants and asked them to bring weapons and go with Rubio, "The Black Swamp Village is now under my control, and I now authorize you to take people to the village to shout." Let those who are greedy for my goods and rob you of your goods hand them over.

Attention, all you have to do now is shout and tell the whole village. Hand over my stuff now, I won't pursue it. If you don't pay it before dawn, then I will punish you. After all, I assigned the people, and I know exactly who went to your store to move things. ”

This seems like a bit of a redundancy.

If you want to stand up, wouldn't it be good to send someone to arrest those poor ghosts?

Why shouting?

It would be a miracle if shouting could get those poor ghosts to hand over their things obediently.

Rubio hadn't done that before, and he couldn't figure it out. But Zhou Qingfeng is now in high prestige, and authorizing him to do this is equivalent to recovering his losses, and it can also allow him to regain his status and identity, even stronger than before.

Although Uncle Zhou did not mention the payment, there was no reason for the medicinal herb profiteer to refuse the appointment. He happily accepted the assignment and said that he would definitely chase everything back. Whoever dares to hide secretly, he will kill that guy.

It's just that Rubio was in a hurry to shout, but Zhou Qingfeng stopped him with a smile and said, "Should we first count how many goods you lost?" ”

Yes......!

Hearing that the lost goods had to be counted first, Rubio finally realized that the boy in front of him was really not easy to fool. Because he was excited just now to exaggerate his loss this time, maybe he could make a fortune back and make the poor ghosts who robbed him pay the price.

But if the loss of goods is counted first, Rubio is not very easy to do from it.

The old dwarf's shack contained clay tablets for ordinary records, and Rubio roughly dictated his loss, and the servants who were present at the time testified. Zhou Qingfeng deducted what had been transported to the old dwarf for storage, and the rest was taken away by the villagers.

After the count, Rubio led someone to shout.

The village of Black Marsh was not very big, and there were more than 300 people in the village, and soon everyone heard the hoarse voice of the herb profiteer conveying 'Victor. Hugo's Excellency's order.

Listening to Rubio's voice echoing in the air, the old dwarf frowned and asked, "Victor, did you expect this to be the current situation?" ”

"What's the situation?"

"The people you sent are certainly not honest, they will loot Rubio's warehouse, and they will secretly hide the goods you bought. And you keep Rubio and let him clean up the treacherous villagers. In this way, both parties are under your control and must rely on you to live. ”

Zhou Qingfeng laughed after hearing this, "This is no way." There is not a single good person in this village, and they are all very cunning. I have to check and balance it. ”

"Treacherous?" The old dwarf shook his head, "You actually thought so much about it in the first place, it was beyond my expectations. The cunning of the people in the village is only for the sake of seeking a little profit, and your cunning makes people feel afraid. ”
