Chapter 217 City Lord's Mind

"The adults have worked hard all the way, why don't you go to rest first, and wait until tomorrow to start before it's too late."

Du You waved his hand: "No, give me a map of the distribution of robbers. I'll take action now. It's better if I solve it as soon as possible." waste time.

The city lord did not refuse, and directly took out a layout diagram. It was rough, but generally understandable. "Then I will trouble Master Mage. This is the result of our investigation. There may be some deviations, but most of them are fine."

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

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

"Lord City Lord, are we really suitable for this, that recommended quota..."

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

"Sir, 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 also see that our wealth can't be moved, so we can only use other methods. This mage seems to be very reasonable, otherwise I won't come up with a quota."

"But Lord City Lord, we finally got the recognition of the Shenyan Empire this year. We got a place and just gave it away. We are too disadvantaged."

The city lord glared at this guy and said dissatisfiedly: "Then what do you say, we are already at the end of the mountain, and there is no possibility of sending troops to support other nearby cities. We were already ready to go all out. Now someone comes to help. Okay. Besides, if you don't show a little sincerity, why do people want to help?"

"If this mage fails this time, we will have no loss at all, and at least some robbers will be eliminated. If it succeeds, it will only be a recommendation, and we will also have no loss. Maybe we can borrow it. With this opportunity to obtain the wealth left by those robbers, our life in Greenthorn City will be better.”

It turned out that this was the true intention of the city owner.

"City Lord, you are right, everything is centered on Greenthorn City, and the rest can be given up."

Another official said with some dissatisfaction: "However, we can completely sell this quota. The price of this quota in the black market is already very high, and the money sold,

It's easy to invite people or buy things. "

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

"Hmph, you are thinking too simply. Is the quota so easy to sell? Besides, this year the empire just recognized our territorial status, and we sold the quota. What will those big nobles think of us?"

Everyone was silent, yes, this kind of practice may not be a big deal for other cities, but if they did it in the first year, it would be too shameful. Who knows how those nobles will treat them.

After all, they are just a small town, it doesn't matter if they are thrown away.

"Moreover, although this quota seems to be unimportant, it is actually an important score for a city's power and an important score for a city's contribution."

A light flashed in the eyes of the city lord: "I have already found someone to investigate secretly, and the contribution made by each city recommended by the city will be counted in the recommended city. If the recommended person is very powerful, the contribution made will also be counted. If it is very big, then the city can get the resource tilt of the empire, which is very important for our Greenthorn City."

"The strength of that mage can just be verified with this extermination of the robbers. It is really strong. At that time, our Greenthorn City will rely on this mage to develop, do you understand?"

Yes, their Greenthorn City is too remote, and it is basically impossible for this kind of place to develop. But if the resources of the empire are skewed, then maybe they can do something else.

Although their place is very remote, there is no good production, but their place is also no threat.

"This kind of quota is useless in our own hands. Although the place in Baishicheng is a good place to obtain military merit, it is also very dangerous, do you understand. Are you going?"

Well, many of these people present have no level, and even if there are, level 2 would be the best. Those level 3 people are basically generals in the army. If they go to Baishicheng with such strength, wouldn't they be sent to death?

"That's why the city lord will make the decision to give him a recommended quota. The city lord is really smart. No matter how that person behaves, whether he can successfully use this quota to obtain aristocratic status, in fact, our Greenthorn City will only benefit. , there will be no harm." Now, everyone finally wants to understand.

Yes, why can others become the city owner, but not myself, this is the gap.

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

Finally, everyone remembered, although the prospects seem to be very good, but also based on the strength of that mage. If his strength is not good at all, the final result will not change.

But given hope but let them continue to despair, their hearts are really unpleasant.

"City Lord, should we continue to organize manpower?"

The city owner lowered his head and said indifferently: "Continue to organize, prepare first, and don't move for the time being. Before it gets dark today, the results will come out. Also, inform the nearby spies to monitor the bandit camps at all times. If there is a special accident, report it immediately."

They have no way of grasping Du You's whereabouts, but they can know the situation of those bandit camps.

At this time, Du You, who was flying in the air, still didn't know the city lord's calculations. If he knew, he would definitely be shocked. Sure enough, no one who can sit in a high position is a real fool.

A recommendation that is useless to them, and they can get huge benefits, this calculation is really clever. But even if he knew, Du You would still follow.
