"Adults have worked hard all the way, it's better to go and rest first, and it's not too late to start tomorrow. ”

Du You waved his hand: "No, give me a map of the distribution of robbers, I'll make a move now, and it's better to hurry up as soon as possible." "It can't be helped, it's like that for professionals, because time is so scarce that it's impossible to waste time in one place.

The city lord did not refuse, and directly took out a layout map, which was very rough to see, but it was generally understandable. "Then trouble the mage, this is the result of our investigation, maybe there are some deviations, but most of them are fine. ”

Du You took the map and strode out of the City Lord's Mansion. As soon as he came out, Du You summoned Xiao Zi and took off into the air.

When Du You left, the officials and the city lord returned to the city lord's mansion.

"Lord of the city, is it really suitable for us to be like this, ...... that one recommendation?"

The city lord waved his hand: "Kaski, you tell us how much money we still have in the city lord's mansion." ”

"My lord, this money can't be moved, we don't have much in total, and we plan to buy food. Otherwise, many people will starve to death outside, and they will definitely attack the City Lord's Mansion at that time. ”

"You can see that our wealth cannot be touched, so we have to use other methods. This mage seems to be very reasonable, otherwise I wouldn't have come up with a quota. ”

"But Lord City, we finally got the recognition of the Shenyan Empire this year, and we got a place and gave it away like this, we suffered too much. ”

The city lord glared at this guy and said dissatisfiedly: "Then what do you say, we have reached the point of exhaustion, and there is no possibility for other nearby cities to send troops to support, we are already ready to fight hard." Wouldn't it be nice to have someone to help now. Besides, if you don't show a little sincerity, why should people help. ”

"If this mage fails this time, we won't lose anything, and at least we will eliminate some bandits. If it succeeds, it's just a referral, and we have nothing to lose. Maybe we can take this opportunity to get the wealth left by those robbers, and our life in Bluethorn City will be better. ”

It turns out that this is what the city lord really thinks.

"City Lord, you're right, everything is centered on Blue Thorn City, and everything else can be abandoned. ”

Another official said with some dissatisfaction: "However, we can sell this place." The price of this place in the black market is already very high, and the money from selling it is easy to hire people or buy things. ”

Thinking of the price of this recommended place, everyone's eyes lit up. In general, in cities, these places are basically reserved for the children of nobles. Only in a small city like theirs, there will be vacancies. Many commoners who want to become nobles are staring, and even some nobles who need meritorious service are staring, and the price is incredibly high.

"Hmph, you're thinking too simply, is it so easy to sell the slot. Besides, this year, the empire has just recognized our territorial status, and we have sold the quota, what will those big nobles think of us. ”

Everyone was silent, yes, this kind of practice may not be anything to other cities, but if they did it in the first year, it would be too shameless, who knows what those nobles will do to them.

After all, they're just a small town, so it doesn't matter if you don't want to throw them away.

Moreover, although this place may not seem very important, it is actually an important score for a city's strength and a city's contribution. ”

A bright light flashed in the city lord's eyes: "I have already asked someone to secretly investigate, and every person recommended by the city will be counted as the recommended city for their contribution to the empire." If the recommended person is strong and has made a great contribution, then the city can get the Empire's resources tilted, which is very important for us in Bluethorn City. ”

"That mage's strength can be verified with this extermination of the bandits. It really has strength, and when the time comes, our Blue Thorn City will still rely on this mage to develop, do you understand? ”

Yes, their Blue Thorn City is too remote, and it is basically impossible for this kind of place to develop. But if the Empire's resources are tilted, then maybe they can do something else.

Although they are in the middle of nowhere and do not produce any good products, there is no threat to them.

"This kind of quota is useless to keep it in our own hands. That place in White Rock City is a great place to get military merit, but it's also very dangerous, you know? Are you going?"

Well, many of these people present have no rank, and even if they do, level 2 will be up to the sky. Those level 3 people are basically generals in the army, and if they go to White Rock City with such strength, aren't they going to die.

"That's why the city lord made the decision to give him a recommended place, the city lord is really clever. No matter how that person behaves, whether or not he can successfully use this quota to obtain noble status, in fact, our Blue Thorn City will only have benefits, not harms. Now, everyone finally figured it out.

Yes, why can someone become a city lord, but not himself, this is the gap.

The city lord picked up the steamed bun slices and nibbled gently: "Wait, in the end, we still have to see if that mage has the strength." If the strength is not enough, I am afraid that we still have to organize people to work hard, and don't be happy too early. ”

Finally, everyone remembered that although the prospect seemed to be very good, it also had to be built on the strength of that mage. If his strength is not good at all, the final result will not change.

But giving hope but making them continue to despair, their hearts are really not good.

"City Lord, do we still want to continue to organize manpower? ”

The city lord lowered his head and said indifferently: "Continue to organize, get ready first, don't move for the time being, before dark today, the results will come out." Also, inform the nearby secret agents to keep an eye on the bandit camps at all times, and report them immediately if something special happens. ”

They had no way to know Du You's whereabouts, but they could know the situation of those bandit camps.

At this time, Du You, who was flying in the air, didn't know the city lord's calculations. If he knew, he would have been surprised, and sure enough, none of the people who could sit in high positions were really fools.

Just a referral that is not useful to them can get a huge benefit, which is really a clever calculation. But even if he knew, Du You would also follow.
