"My lord has worked hard all the way, so it's better to go to rest first and wait until tomorrow to do it again."

Du You waved his hand: "No, give me a map of the robbers' distribution. I'll take action now. If I solve it sooner, I'd better hurry up." There is no way, the professional is like this, because time is too scarce and it is impossible to be in one place. waste time.

The city lord did not refuse, and directly took out a layout plan. It was very rough to look at, but it was generally understandable. "Then trouble Master Master. This is our investigation result. It may be a bit biased, but most of it is okay."

Du You took the map and left the city lord's mansion in stride. 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 mansion.

"My Lord City Lord, is this really suitable for us? That recommended quota..."

The city lord waved his hand: "Kaski, tell us how much money is left in our city lord mansion."

"My lord, these money can't be moved. We don't have much in total. These are still going 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 it too, our wealth cannot be moved, so we can only use other methods. This mage still seems to be very reasonable, otherwise I won't be given a place."

"But Lord City Lord, we finally got the recognition of the Shenyan Empire this year. We got a quota and just sent it out. We are at a disadvantage."

The city lord glared at this guy and said dissatisfied: "Then what do you say, we are already at the end of the world, and there is no possibility of sending troops to support other nearby cities. We are already prepared to fight hard. Now someone is coming to help. Okay. Besides, if you don't show a little sincerity, why should people help?"

"If this mage fails this time, we won't have a loss at all, and at least some bandits will be eliminated. If it succeeds, it will only be a recommended quota, and we will not lose much either. Maybe we can still borrow With this opportunity to gain the wealth left by those robbers, our life in Greenthorn City will be better."

It turned out that this is the real idea of ​​the city lord.

"My Lord City Lord, you are right. Everything is centered on Greenthorn City, and everything else can be given up."

Another official said with some dissatisfaction: "But, we can sell this quota. The price of this quota in the black market is already very high. The money sold is easy to hire people or buy things."

Thinking of the price of this recommended quota, everyone's eyes are bright. In general cities, these places are basically reserved for the children of nobles. Only in small cities like theirs will there be vacancies. Many civilians who want to become aristocrats are staring, and even some aristocrats who need meritorious service are staring, and the price is unbelievably high.

"Hmph, what you think is too simple, is it easy to sell the quota? Besides, this year the empire just recognized our territorial status, we sold the quota, what would those great nobles think of us."

Everyone was silent, yes, such an approach may not be a big deal to other cities, but if they did it in the first year, it would be too shameless. Who knows how those nobles would treat them.

After all, they are just a small city, so it doesn't matter if you throw them away.

"Moreover, although this quota may not seem very important, it is actually an important score for the power of a city and also an important score for the contribution of a city."

A bright light flashed in the eyes of the city lord: "I've found someone to investigate secretly. Every person recommended by each city will contribute to the empire as the recommended city. If the recommended person is very strong, the contribution made is also If it is very large, then the city can get the empire’s resource tilt, which is very important to our Greenthorn City."

"The strength of that mage can be verified with this eradication of robbers. Really has the strength, then we will rely on this mage to develop in Greenthorn City, 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 tilted, then maybe they can do something else.

Although their place is very remote and there is no good produce, but their place is also not a threat.

"This kind of quota is useless in our own hands. Although the place in White Rock City is a good place for military service, it is also very dangerous. Do you understand. Do you go?"

Well, many of the people present are not level, even if there are, level 2 is the best. Those level 3 people are basically generals in the army. If you go to White Rock City with such strength, isn't it going to be sent to death?

"So the city master will make the decision to give him a recommended quota. The city master is really clever. No matter how that person performs, whether he can successfully use this quota to obtain noble status, in fact, we will only benefit from Greenthorn City. , There will be no harm." Now, everyone finally wants to understand.

Yes, why can someone become the lord of the city, but he can't, this is the gap.

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

Finally everyone remembered Although the prospects seem to be very good, it must be built on the strength of the mage. If his strength is not good at all, the final result is still the same.

But given hope but let them continue to despair, their hearts are really not good.

"City Lord, shall we 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. The result will be out before it gets dark today. Also, inform nearby spies to monitor those bandit camps all the time. If a special change occurs, report it immediately."

They have no way to grasp 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, didn't know the calculations of this City Lord. If he knew, he would be surprised. As expected, no one who can sit in a high position is a real fool.

A recommended quota that is useless to them can get huge benefits. This calculation is really clever. But even if he knew it, Du You would still follow.
