Chapter 185: Gold Coins, Security, and Scouts (Part II)
"One hundred and ninety-three of them were hit by the mercenaries on our patrol and killed those who committed the crime on the spot, and the remaining one hundred and four were not caught on the spot, and of these one hundred and four cases, forty-four of them were either the victims did not die or were seen by witnesses, so they have also been dealt with, but the remaining sixty cases have not found the perpetrators."
Hua Rong paused slightly, and then continued: "Moreover, because of the constraints, it is impossible for us to have enough time and conditions to find these people, that is to say, these people have successfully committed crimes, at least for the time being. ”
Hua Rong shrugged his shoulders: "Including the criminals and victims, the total number of deaths is four hundred and seventy-four, as for whether there are any other people who have been destroyed and destroyed, it is unknown, but fortunately, although more than a dozen brothers of our patrol mercenary team were injured due to some resistance, fortunately, there was no attrition." ”
"Is there anything unusual around the city?" Chu Kun asked.
"The maximum exploration distance of our scouts is twenty kilometers, and the main exploration directions are Xia City, Tuo City, and Yonghe City, and so far no anomalies have been found." Knife Scar replied. The person in charge of the scout team outside the city was not Hua Rong, but another deputy regiment leader, but because someone had to stay at the station to prevent emergencies, the deputy regiment commander did not attend this meeting.
"It's just that although nothing has been found in the surrounding three cities for the time being, our scouts have found that the number of various monsters in the wild is gradually increasing." Knife Scar continued: "Although it is only a few scattered monsters for the time being, it has to be guarded against to avoid causing a beast disaster at that time. ”
Knife Scar said with a little stern on his face: "Please be cautious about it." ”
Hearing this, Chu Kun also realized the severity of the matter, but then he sighed lightly: "Continue to increase the scout's exploration, and try to ensure that all kinds of information in the field are transmitted uninterrupted." As for the monsters in the wild, let's take a break for the time being. We don't have enough people to deal with these things right now. ”
Knife marks also sighed, he didn't know now, the biggest drawback in the city now is the lack of manpower, just put it in the city is barely enough, but if you want to send out professionals to clean up monsters in the wild, it is a little powerless.
"In addition, Tang Lie, you also start recruiting about the adventurer guards, although the adventurers recruited are not of much use for the time being, but some trivial matters in the city are still okay, and some of the mercenary guards in the city will be freed up as much as possible. It was used for defense on the city walls. Chu Kun turned his head to look at Tang Lie again and said.
After a pause, Chu Kun continued: "Although it is very urgent in terms of manpower, but it is not possible to be careless about the recruitment of adventurers, it is necessary to prefer lack to excess, it doesn't matter if the strength is low, it can be improved slowly, but in terms of character, it must be carefully investigated, I don't want to raise a group of scum under my hands." ”
Tang Lie's face turned grim when he heard this, and he said seriously: "Yes." Lord Castle. ”
Nodding with satisfaction, although Tang Lie, Hua Ying, and Ji Jing were not adventurers, and Tang Lie was still the strength of the Awakening Rank, there was no violation of what Chu Kun had explained. It is done with all my heart.
"That's all for today, do you have anything else to add?" Chu Kun looked at everyone and said, "Since there is none, then everyone should go back to their respective posts, if there is anything unexpected, you can come to the City Lord's Mansion or go to Mozhuyuan to find me." I've been going to be out of town for a while. ”
"Yes, Lord of the City, my subordinates and others will retire." Hua Ying was the first to stand up. He bowed slightly to Chu Kun, and then Tang Lie, Dao Scar and the others also bowed and withdrew from the main hall.
Chu Kun was very unaccustomed to the respect of Hua Ying and the others, but he didn't say anything, after all, since he became the city lord of Wutong City, some etiquette rules were still necessary, if the city lord and the city lord's mansion were not majestic enough, how could they be able to convince the public, even if there were not many people under him now.
"Li Yan, Li Ran, do you have any thoughts on the current situation in Wutong City?" Seeing that the figures of Hua Ying and the others gradually disappeared from sight, leaving only the hall of the three of them, Chu Kun turned his head and asked the two women.
"Ah, opinion? What's the view? Li Ran's eyes flickered a little, although she was listening to what she said in the meeting just now, she didn't remember it in her heart, because she was a little speechless for Chu Kun's sudden question.
Shaking his head helplessly, Chu Kun couldn't help but reach out and rub Li Ran's hair all over his head into a mess. Yan Ran's two daughters are extremely smart people, but because of Li Ran's personality, they can't be interested in these things, even if Chu Kun explained to the two women last night, but Li Ran still didn't pay attention during the meeting.
didn't blame Li Ran, Chu Kun knew that if he wanted Li Ran to make changes, it was not something that could be done in a short period of time, but only slowly and gradually, after all, a person's character and habits were cultivated over a long period of time.
"What about Li Yan?" Chu Kun asked.
Li Yan pursed her lips slightly, thought about it carefully, and said: "With the current situation in Wutong City, the first main place to guard against is the threat of the three surrounding cities, followed by the maintenance of order in the city, and finally the issue of funds. ”
"If you want to do the first two points, it is difficult to recruit enough people to solve it in a short period of time, so the financial support has become the most important place, as long as you have enough gold, you can hire war mercenaries to guard Wutong City in a short time, and it only takes a few months of development to basically eliminate these troubles one after another."
"Anything else?" Chu Kun nodded, what Li Yan said was basically a summary of the meeting, indicating that he still listened carefully to these things.
Li Yan paused, and then said: "It's just that there is another point to pay attention to, that is, about the positioning of Wutong City, Brother Chu has always had no intention of fighting for hegemony, even if he gets Wutong City, it is just to provide enough resources for himself, so this determines that it is impossible for us to spend too much resources and time on the development of Wutong City." ”
"But in this way, our defense force will be a little weak, even if we get through some of the current problems, endless troubles will still follow one after another, and in this case, Brother Chu's pace of improving his strength will still be slowed down."
"Therefore, if we don't solve this problem, we still won't be able to operate Wutong City with peace of mind." (To be continued......)
