The Knight of Honor, Tepal, stood on the threshing floor of Village Three with his two lieutenants.

The more than 600 people of the entire collective farm had arrived, and their spirits were not bad, but their clothes were still tattered and they didn't look like they were in good spirits, and the fear of their bodies and the dodging of their eyes made Tempal immediately remember the peasants of the old times he had seen in some old documentaries, and their posture when they formed a sparse phalanx here under the leadership of the militia sent from the Crimson Keep, made Tempal feel like a puppet army leader who had come to the village to steal things.

He hurriedly shook off his brain, cleared this unreliable imagination out of his mind, and silently thought about serving the people to straighten his mentality.

Tepal himself was standing on a makeshift wooden shelf to welcome the arrival of the "village chief", and he and the two lieutenants beside him looked around at the place he was about to be ordered as the "novice village".

Instead of low-rise thatched houses and haphazard piles of timber and captive livestock, Tempal's vision is a row of excellently planned, identical-looking three-story "silos".

It was a residential area built for the collective farm by the team belonging to the "Brotherhood of Stonemasons" under the command of the Chosen Ashmen in the past, and the planning of the entire village was personally drawn by Professor Chen, the honorary president of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons, which is full of a neat and beautiful "new countryside".

Because the Translancian authorities do not have enough manpower and material resources to paint the building, the built square house maintains the original appearance of the fossil after being catalyzed by the mud spell, which is the cold gray color that the stone should have.

But on the contrary, because of this uniform color, the architectural style of the whole village tends to be conservative and unified.

Sure enough, Professor Chan is a rare talent in this industry, not only doing the best in the existing environment, but also taking into account the unified architectural beauty.

What's even more awesome is that Lao Chen Tou not only planned the residential area for the collective farm, but also planned the area for storing livestock and the area for storing materials.

From Tempal's "internship experience" over the past period, he knew that the current basic model of governance used by the Administration Department to manage the people was based on the "Labor Points" proposed by the three older brothers, Mudtruck, Shovel, and All-Insurance, at the beginning of the game.

While it is true that this division of work system can create many problems, Typal also has to admit that in the current situation of Translasia, this communal form of collective management is definitely the most suitable.

Not one of them.

It can not only concentrate manpower and material resources with maximum efficiency, but also extend the village chief's management of the farm to the detail level, through the daily summary of labor points can be clear about the current situation of the village, this system can also make everyone in the farm under the same system of management, disobedience and want to secretly do things people are difficult to turn over flowers in this system.

Under the premise of the division of work, the benefits of obedience are far greater than the benefits of unruly obedience, and for the people of Transancia, they are already satisfied with the current life.

They won't allow one or two "rat droppings" to wreak havoc on the "grace" that comes from Lord Murphy and Lady Miriam. When they were still living in the camp outside the city, there were more than one incident where the leaders took the initiative to report petty theft to the administrative office.

Obviously, the eyes of the locals are bright.

Although they are limited by culture and stupidity, they know that the current life protected by order is better than the memory of the messy society ruled by the vampires of the past.

All this makes Tepal, the new village chief, full of gratitude and respect for the old-timers of the administrative players, and it is precisely because the three of them have laid a good foundation in the past that they don't have to worry about how to let the villagers know him and obey him.

"Report to the village chief! Farm Five had a total of 657 people, out of 630, and 27 were sent to the Crimson Keep to enlist as apprentices to the Brotherhood of Stonemasons.

They will return in a week. ”

The militia captain of the farm, a young man in leather armor and a sword and shield, strode forward and reported loudly to Tempal.

Honorary Knight Tepal nodded, and he asked again:

"As I set out from the administration, Professor Malcolm told me that in a few days a group of blood servants would be dismissed, and that some of them would be assigned to our farmsteads, and that their houses would be ready?"

"Of course, Your Excellency the Village Chief."

The young militia captain smiled, and he replied:

"The two 'gray buildings' on the very edge were uninhabited before, and the blood servants can live in them directly when they return, and some of them have their families with us, so you don't have to worry about that.

Most of them were natives before they set out to fight, and we could get along well with them.

Let me introduce myself, my name is Goldham Joan Portman, Mr. Village Chief, and my 30 brothers and I will be under your management from now on. ”

"Oh, I know you!"

Tepal smiled.

He lowered his voice and said:

"You're the nephew of Commander Portman, right? Before I left the Crimson Keep, he specifically told me to take care of you, and I heard that Commander Portman applied for the position of 'Executive Knight' for you, and the assessment will be in two months, are you ready? ”

This question made the young captain Goldham look embarrassed, and he whispered with some embarrassment:

"The actual combat course is definitely fine, I have also killed the gnolls with you warriors, but the cultural course is a little troublesome. But it doesn't matter, Professor Malcolm has assigned teachers to tour the five farms, and I think I can handle it! ”

"Good."

Tepal nodded in satisfaction, and he promised:

"If our village is doing well, I will write you a letter of introduction."

This sentence made Captain Goldem's eyes light up.

He knew that the "administrative warriors" who were directly assigned to the farms from the administrative office had the right to recommend talents to the administrative office with letters of introduction, which was a reward from Governor Murphy for the warriors.

"The villagers are waiting for your speech, Mr. Chief."

Captain Goldham stepped out of his seat, and Typal looked at the more than 600 villagers, old and young, in front of him, he was rarely a little nervous, and after taking a few deep breaths, he stepped forward and said loudly:

"I'm your village chief, my name is Tempal, and I'm from the Riptide Knights! My team will soon be building a new city in Under Armour Hills, and you will be able to see it rise for yourself.

I've set up Farm Three as a supply ground for the Riptide Knights, which means that anything you grow from the land will be marketable!

But in addition to being the head of the Knights, I am also your protector and leader!

My villagers, I am not here to extract oil and water from you, I want to lead you to a better life.

I know it's not easy to do that here in Translasia, but we've made it through the toughest moments and I'm sure we're not going to stop at this stage.

Getting enough food and clothing is just the beginning! Affluence is the goal.

I am not a good talker, and I have no intention of convincing you to trust me, and I believe that you can see with your own eyes the development and prosperity I have brought to Farm No. 3.

At that time, I am sure that you will sincerely recognize me as the village chief.

Well, I will announce the first thing I will do after becoming the village head, and that is to change my name! ”

Tepal's voice raised a few degrees, and he said:

"Start today! Our farm will be renamed 'Newbie Village', and we don't have to worry about the meaning of the name, because sooner or later, the whole of Translancia and the whole continent will know about our existence! ”

"Bang Bang Bang"

Marlene, the arcane master beside Tepal, immediately applauded.

The crowd below was stunned for a moment, and then there was a sparse applause, which was not enthusiastic, and most of the villagers still looked at this "village chief from heaven" with scrutinizing eyes.

There are also those who scoff at Tempal.

Not only because he's too young, but also because this guy doesn't even speak the native dialect of Transansia, and he can only understand him with the help of that strange psionic device.

Everyone knew that this guy was Lord Murphy's "Warrior", the Governor's warriors were brave and fearless, and everyone present had seen their ferocity as they hunted the Gnolls, and they had no doubt that Tempal was one of these brave men.

However, fighting well in a war does not mean that being a village chief is necessarily outstanding.

In case he messes up

Hehe, Master Murphy won't let him go.

After all, even the most benevolent vampire is a vampire, right?

——

While Tempal impassionedly announced new plans to his villagers, the welcoming ceremony at PF 1 ended abruptly.

As the village chief, he did a good job, but he introduced himself to his people quite perfunctorily, and then announced that each of the villagers who came today could receive a "gift" from the new village chief, and each person on the threshing floor would receive a piece of relief food to go back as a meal.

Simple and crude way, but it works very well!

The whole village rejoiced at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and the villagers who had benefited from it also praised their new village chief for his generosity.

Of course, the eyes of the young men will always stay on the four charming girls beside the new village chief, but the "luxury" exuded by those girls discourages them.

That's not the noble ladies they have access to.

After Lao Huo completed his first meeting with his villagers, he plunged into his village chief's mansion, which is actually a small courtyard, which was also designed by Professor Chen for administrative players, and the place is not big but very well cleaned up.

After all, players also have to think about the comfort of living.

In his office, Lao Huo met the "messenger" from No. 2 Farm, a girl who was only sixteen years old and the secretary of the village chief of "Pink Cat Mao Rabbit".

She brought a letter to the village chief of Maomaotu, and Lao Huo nodded after reading the letter.

He said to the girl who was waiting for the order in front of him:

"You go back and tell the village chief of Maomaotu that my side will start my plan soon, and he can wait and see before deciding whether to join or not. Your Farm No. 2 is in a critical location, right between Batasin City and the Crimson Keep, and with your help, my plans will go even more smoothly.

As for the distribution of profits between the two farms, this can be put to a later date, and I believe that the village chief of Maomaotu can understand my distress. ”

"Okay, Old Village Chief Huo."

The young NPC secretary nodded solemnly, and at the same time reminded:

"The village chief has changed the name of Farm No. 2, and our village will be called 'Lion King's Pride', and the village chief is working on the logistics and postal lines of the Cadman Earl.

He wants you and your friends to be a part of it too. ”

"Hah, pull sponsorship, right?"

Old Huo laughed and said:

"I knew that the cat and rabbit brother was well hidden, and he was planning to enter the logistics industry and become the 'postmaster' of Transnesia, so it was really impressive to have such a keen eye. Please go back and tell Maomao Rabbit, and I'll help him get sponsorship.

My good friend Little Rich Brother has money and has nowhere to spend, and he burns in a panic all day long, and I can't watch him waste the resources in his hands.

He may come to your farm in the next few days to talk to the cat and get ready.

I mean, get ready PPT to scam out of money. ”

The messenger of the Pink Cat and Mao Rabbit Village Chief obviously couldn't understand the meaning of the old Huo Village Chief in front of her, but she knew that the warriors had their own way of communication, so she kept the three words PPT in her heart, and then said goodbye very decently and turned to leave.

As he watched the girl out the door, he noticed that the little girl had a unique brooch pinned to her collar, which was supposed to be a gift from Lumina.

It means that this child is one of the children that Lumina Imprint personally rescued from the ruins of Cadman City.

She had apparently grown from an orphan to the talent that Transncia needed in her current situation.

"This game shows the growth curve of NPCs in front of our eyes completely, so I can't always tell whether they are a string of data or real people?"

I sighed.

He was going to take a break and come up with a plan, but it wasn't long before a knock on the door woke him up.

"Please come in."

Lao Huo said a word, and in the next moment, Ms. Dorothy pushed the door and walked in.

Seeing that she wrapped herself like a rice dumpling, she knew that the boss of the Blood Rat Gang flew all the way to the sun, and this uncomfortable journey for vampires made Dorothy very angry, and naturally she was not polite.

She crossed her waist in the well-organized office and asked directly:

"You say you have business to talk to us?

To be honest, I don't think you have any good business as a newly appointed village chief, but my apprentice Yaya repeatedly assured me that it was a business that could make a lot of money, and I trusted Yaya, and I knew that the taciturn little fool wouldn't cheat me on such a thing.

But you

I'm not familiar with you.

But I can smell something familiar from you, the halflings, the factory owners, and the big merchants in Port Chardo. ”

Dorothy whispered:

"I don't want to deal with you, you're always going to throw a piece of bait at us who don't have enough brains, and we won't be able to leave you when we eat a round belly."

"You're joking, Lady Dorothy, you're the absolute ruler of the Crimson Keep's gray area right now."

Lao Huo pretended.

He got up from his chair and said with a smile on his face:

"I really chose to work with you because of the responsibility of a village chief who wants to see his village grow rapidly, and what we're going to do is just a small test before the big operation to grab the wealth.

We're going to release a unique betting tool, but I'm short on resources, and I'd like to have the full support of the Blood Rat Gang. ”

"What do I get?"

Dorothy asked rhetorically, and Old Huo shrugged his shoulders and said:

"This product called 'Scratch' itself is a gift from me to you, and all the proceeds obtained after a successful attempt will be taken by you, and I promise that as long as you run well, don't be stupid enough to kill this egg-laying chicken for meat, you and your brothers will be able to earn money that you and your brothers will never spend a lifetime on."

All I need is your resources, that's all.

This is also a 'vote for the name'.

After you realize that my village and I can bring great benefits to you and to Transencia as a whole, I am confident that you and your subordinates will make a rational and sound judgment.

After all, no matter what means we use to accumulate money, in the end, we will serve the cause of the whole of Transencia and Lord Murphy.

We are followers and servants, and there is no greater loyalty we can offer to Translasia. ”

These words made Dorothy hesitate.

She finally stared at the eyes that were so sincere that they were too good, and after a few seconds of thought, she said:

"How many people do you need? How long will it take for the project to bear fruit? Please understand, Your Excellency, that the Blood Rat Gang is a subordinate organization of the Shadow Intelligence Bureau, and we are tasked with raising funds for Lady Adele's covert operations.

If this work is not profitable, there is really no need for us to continue to cooperate.

And if you choose to fraudulently bully us gray area rats who don't understand business, then you will offend more than just a small blood rat gang.

I'm sure you're all smart people, and I don't need to be reminded of the risks.

So I'll give you five minutes to reorganize the language before deciding whether or not to invite us."

"I'm sure!"

There was no hesitation at all, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Don't waste time, let's get to the big stuff!"
