Data Wasteland

The Black Snake Brigade has been entrenched here for more than ten years. The corpse transporter escorting business in the three towns of Beauty, Roast Duck and Lanhua has a solid foundation. The station is on a dirt hill between Meiren Town and Roast Duck Town, less than 100 kilometers away from Lanhua Town.

The team of the master group quickly drove to the vicinity of Tushan. Looking up, there are slab houses built on the hillside. The patchwork walls of iron and wooden blocks are sprayed with colorful graffiti, full of violent pictures and words.

"Get out of my way!" "The black snake is staring!" "Killyou!" "Iloveblood!"

Around the slab house, rusty fuel tanks can be seen everywhere, staggering.

Although the camp is simple and messy, as a veteran mercenary group, the Black Snake Brigade is still very alert. Before Chen Xing's convoy approached, an alarm sounded on the mountain, and the black snake mercenaries in full service rushed out of the board room, occupying various points.

The team set up at the bottom of the mountain, and then Chen Xing radioed the mountain and asked the black snake to come out to meet.

On this trip, Chen Xing brought more than 300 people, except for the Lanhua Town garrison, almost all out. Looking at his posture from the other side, he quickly agreed. Although the Black Snake Brigade had a large number of people, it was still a little different from Chen Xing, the rich native.

After a while, the two sides met in the middle of the position. Chen Xing took the black old monster and Qin Gui with him. During his stay in Ice Blue City, the black old monster had dealt with the old affairs of Gray Point City, and took his daughter and old friend Qin Gui to the water station to seek refuge. Both of them are strong guards, and they are also the two strongest people around Chen Xing. They must be brought along for the negotiation.

There are also three people in the Black Snake Brigade, and the Black Snake is naturally among them. Chen Xing's last life only stayed in Lanhua Town for a few months, and his status was low, so he had only heard of it, but he had never seen Black Snake himself.

The black snake's skin was not black at all, on the contrary, it was extremely pale, thin, with sunken eye sockets, rickets, and his overly slender hands were about to hang down on his knees, like a long and thin living corpse.

"What do you want to do?" Black Snake asked, his voice hoarse.

"I want to ask you two people." Chen Xing said.

"Who?" "Brother and sister Powatt." "Why?" The black snake squinted his eyes, and his dark eyes were gloomy and cold, like a rattlesnake staring at people.

"Why?" Chen Xing repeated, suddenly launching teleportation. A sound of "Zila" appeared behind the black snake and divided into three.

Before the black snake and two of his men could react, there was a knife on each of them. The Black Snake is only a quasi-guard level, and Chen Xing is a guard level, coupled with the blood of the insect wolf and the trio, the strength is straight up to the big guard level. The two were not on the same level at all, and the black snake was instantly restrained.

The blade was close to the large blood vessels, and it was extremely cold, stinging the skin. The two of Black Snake's men were dumbfounded with fright, their limbs stiff, and they didn't dare to move. The black snake was also very frightened. Although his expression did not change much, he could see the fine cold sweat seeping from his temples.

Originally it was just asking for two people from each other, and it was not a big deal. Chen Xing could invite Black Snake to the town to talk in detail, nothing more than to give something to benefit. But the reason why Chen Xing did this was to declare force and kill chickens for the monkeys.

The black snake is a chicken, and the mayors of Beauty Town and Roast Duck Town are monkeys. He is in charge of Orchid Town, and he must get along well with his neighbors around him. The premise of being friendly is that both parties understand each other's positioning.

Above the wilderness, the strong is respected. Everyone wants to pinch a soft persimmon, and no one wants to touch a hard stubble. Only when both parties have found the correct position can they be amicably resolved in the subsequent exchanges of interests and conflicts.

Solve the problem, so there is the present scene.

"you win."

The black snake said calmly, as simple and direct as the wilderness man.

"well."

Chen Xing retracted the long knife and teleported back to the opposite side of the black snake.

"Just two people?" There was concern in the black snake's eyes.

"Yes, it's just two people." Chen Xing spread out his hands and said, "Your business is still your business, the same as before."

"Okay!" The Black Snake nodded vigorously, and then said to his men next to him, "Notify Powat and Bona that they have been fired!"

In this way, a conflict that seemed to be tense but in fact calm ended.

Within a few days, Powat and Bona, who were escorting the caravan, returned to Orchid Town to report. Powat was arranged to enter the city to defend as a grassroots officer, while Bona joined the maid squad.

In this way, the maid team is basically formed. The captain sees Yue Canglian, the deputy captain Guihu, the team members Ye Qian, Li Mei, Li Rou, and Bona. Chen Xing calculated it, he had six clones, plus seven on the main body, and one was missing. I was thinking of Lasuna coming over to make up the count, but she felt that her belly was too big, it was more conspicuous and more intrusive.

"From today, I will train you to become a qualified maid." In the training ground of the water station, I saw Yue Canglian standing in a row at the preparatory maid's words, "You must be determined to die and be ready to do so. The master gave his life..."

"Yes!"

The responding voices vary in size, but they are still neat, and their eyes are barely pious.

For the next month, they were sweating every day by seeing Yue Canglian training, and they almost collapsed from morning training to night. But they are very enthusiastic, because Chen Xing gave the maid team 50,000 yuan, and it is in charge of Jianyue Canglian. Those who perform well can get the evolving potion, so no one is lazy.

During this time, Chen Xing arranged several things.

The first thing is the construction of the mansion.

Out of respect for Xia De Sinclair, Chen Xing did not live in the small castle, but set up another vacant land to build it. The original small castle remains intact and is cleaned regularly.

Since Chen Xing was born as a mercenary and was seriously insecure, the mansion was built according to the specifications of the fortress. The foundation is dug deep, reinforced concrete is poured, and high-strength steel plates are added to form a trapezoidal fortress building.

The construction time was about six months. The materials were transported by caravans from Longshi Town or Grayhorn City, and workers were hired from the town and the two nearby fringe towns.

The second thing is the census.

This is the method left by the ancestors. To govern a region, the first thing to do is to understand the local population composition, the number of artisans, and so on.

After a week of statistics, Lanhua Town has more than 8,000 residents, more than 35,000 refugees, and more than 2,000 people at the water station, for a total of more than 45,000. If each person creates a tax of one gold coin every year, there will be 45,000 gold coins. In some well-developed fringe towns, the annual tax revenue per capita can reach five or six gold coins, which is a long-term and stable income.

The third thing is the planting industry and the workshop industry.

Chen Xing invested 30,000 gold coins to open two large plantations and a large livestock farm. There are not many crops that can be grown in the northern wilderness, and the output is very small, but there are so many people to feed, it is impossible to rely on transportation outside and to be as self-sufficient as possible.

And then invested another 50,000

Gold coins were loaned to the residents of Lanhua Town to open workshops at low interest rates. There were winemakers, canned food, snacks, weaving and clothes. Together with the previous investment, a total of more than 20 shops were opened, which was solved to a certain extent. Employment issues have also increased profits and taxes.

The fourth thing is diplomacy.

Since the suppression of Black Snake, the mayor of Beauty Town and the mayor of Roast Duck Town have sent gifts of Chen Xing's entry.

The subtext of proactive gift giving is-peaceful development, keep watch and help each other.

The neighbors took the initiative to throw an olive branch, and Chen Xing naturally could not lose his courtesy and doubled the return. Sticks and carrots have always been the essence of diplomacy. The two mayors were very happy when they received Chen Xing's return. They visited Lanhua Town one after another.

Due to the construction of Lanhua Town, the economy of the three towns has become active. There are caravans coming and going every day, and there is no end to the excitement. Taxes also rise with the tide, which further deepens the relationship between each other.

The fifth thing is to open a pharmacy.

Generally speaking, the mayor of a fringe town will open an official pharmacy in his town to sell evolution potions.

On the one hand, it is to make money, and on the other hand, it is to ensure the reliability of Evolution Medicine. To put it simply, if townspeople buy counterfeit medicines, and unfortunately, there will be an accident, their income will decrease, and taxes will also decrease, and the town mayor will eventually lose.

After Shad Sinclair left, the pharmacy closed naturally. Chen Xing invested 80,000 gold coins and reopened the shop at the old site. The goods were imported from the factory in Gray Point, and the old K was managed part-time, and the maid team worked as the store manager in shifts.

After doing this series of things, Chen Xing took a batch of advanced medicines from his pharmacy and gradually improved his strength. But now, the effect of the medicine is getting smaller and smaller, and the most advanced liquid gold medicine is too expensive to be used in batches.

What's more, his three basic attributes have almost reached the limit of talent, and the room for improvement is very small. There is no need to waste too many resources, just concentrate on breaking through the barrier of the spiritual pond. He is now the pinnacle of building the three floors of the tower, as long as the opportunity is right, it will happen naturally.

While Chen Xing was doing well in Lanhua Town, Lacey in the Red Fort Princess Tower in Monitor Lizard City got his latest news from the spy.

"Damn, dare to come back!" Lacey was trembling with anger, "Still the mayor under the eyes of this princess!"

She immediately summoned the minister in charge and asked him why the Principality Council issued a canonization order to Chen Xing.

"His Royal Highness, I just checked. The canonization order of Baron Chen Erliu was not issued by us, but by the Kingdom Council." The Minister in charge explained.

Lacey's eyes widened suddenly, as if she didn't believe it. The shameless person even bypassed the Red Dragon Principality and applied directly to the Kingdom Council, and was approved.

"Destroy him!" she screamed.

"This, this can only be abolished by the Grand Duke..." the Minister in charge reminded.

"Damn it!" Lacey gritted her teeth, "Damn it, hate it!"

She yelled several times. He was short of breath, his chest was constantly rising and falling, and he couldn't stop breathing. She didn't dare to let her father know, because it would easily alarm Aaliyah, and she could only do this in a small area.

Gradually, she recovered her calm.

"Is it true that I can't help you!"

She said bitterly, then faced the minister in charge, and ordered, "Go, find a suitable candidate, and the Principality Council will issue a canonization order to become the mayor of Lanhua Town."
