Because of these new residents, the number of vacant residential buildings in Hope Town is also continuously decreasing.
Correspondingly, the continuous influx of money into Hope Town.
"This money needs to be deposited, please handle it." So staff quickly handed over the tidied-up gold coins directly to the Finance Managent Office.
The person in charge is Ding Qiurou. When she received the money, it was as if she could hear the jingling sound of gold coins.
Recently, the revenue of Hope Town has been skyrocketing so much that even soone like her, used to handling money, can’t help but feel her heart skip a beat.
These figures are truly growing day by day.
But she knows if her daughter were here, she would definitely be happy.
As Ding Qiurou was thinking, she happened to see Bayer passing by and couldn’t help but stop him.
"Still no news of Zhou Bai?" It’s been several days with not a word, and Ding Qiurou is genuinely worried.
Bayer listened and shook his head, "No news, but don’t worry, since he’s with Lady Filia, the Lord will absolutely be fine."
"I know, I just unconsciously feel uneasy." Ding Qiurou said helplessly.
This world is not as safe as Blue Star.
Bayer looked at Ding Qiurou’s expression and understood, but he had said all he could.
Ding Qiurou quickly adjusted her emotions and then changed the subject, "It seems like Hope Town has a lot of new residents recently? I’ve seen quite a few houses sold?"
The large sums of money she received in the past two days were all from these new residents.
"Yes, many people have co, and the population has already exceeded fifty thousand."
Listening to this figure, Ding Qiurou was a bit tongue-tied, "Isn’t that the population of a Level 2 town?"
"... Yes." Bayer listened, and even he couldn’t help but furrow his brows, "The population is still growing. Without the Lord here, I’m not sure if we should continue to accept more. If we keep going at this rate, we might soon exceed eighty thousand."
By then, we won’t be a Level 2 town anymore, but a Level 3 town.
As she listened, Ding Qiurou couldn’t help but worry, "Won’t that affect the operation of the territory?"
Bayer listened and shook his head, "The territory is continuously recruiting staff, each departnt working in cooperation, and with enough soldiers to maintain order, the entire territory’s operation isn’t a problem."
The overall frawork is laid out already!
Previously it seed there were too many departnts, but now, with the territory’s developnt, it’s more apparent that the Lord had foresight.
If there were too few managent personnel, Hope Town’s operational chanism might not cope with the expanding population.
But this ti, Hope Town still held up.
When the Lord returns, he can also say, "I’ve lived up to expectations."
"Thank you for your hard work." Ding Qiurou said quickly.
After joining the Finance Managent Office, she ca to understand just how much effort Bayer, the Chief Minister, had truly devoted.
It’s fortunate that he’s an Undead, for otherwise, his body wouldn’t have been able to manage.
"No need to be polite, I find joy in it as well." Bayer said straightforwardly, as he truly found a sense of belonging in the developnt of Hope Town.
He genuinely feels that such days are aningful and not just a waste of ti.
He’s very grateful to Zhou Bai for giving him this opportunity.
He’s very aware that in any other territory, he wouldn’t have such an opportunity.
"So if you need anything, let know directly, especially when it cos to money." Ding Qiurou said, full of gusto.
"There is sothing that might need your opinion." Hearing Ding Qiurou say so, Bayer imdiately spoke up.
"Go ahead."
"The summoning issue at the Heroic Spirit Hall, previously the Lord had instructed you to summon skilled talents as the territory needs daily, right?" Bayer asked.
"Yes, is there a problem now? Is there no longer a need for summoning?" Ding Qiurou hesitated, as Zhou Bai had instructed her not to miss out on talent.
"No, it’s that I’d like to summon more, specifically for the Heroic Spirit Hall. Originally, we were supposed to wait for the Mayor’s return to make plans, but I’m afraid it will be too late then. If financially feasible right now, I recomnd hiring them all." Bayer continued, "The Lord ntioned that special weather is approaching, and during this ti, various territories are collecting special materials, the price of which is rising. Our previous preparations were based on the original residents’ acquisitions, but now with many additional residents, we need to increase inventory. Purchasing at current prices would be more costly. If we recruit so of the remaining combat-type Undead, during the special weather, they can go out to collect special materials, and by then, Hope Town might profit from it."
Additionally, Hope Town’s combat strength under special weather conditions could be improved due to the presence of the Undead, making it hard for others to guard against.
After all, up to now, Hope Town is the only one capable of summoning Undead.
This is Hope Town’s "Golden Finger" and naturally should be well utilized.
Listening to Bayer, Ding Qiurou answered without hesitation, "I understand, I’ll summon them all."
Bayer didn’t expect Ding Qiurou to be so forthright.
"Xiao Bai ntioned to that you’re the person she trusts the most in the territory, and since you say so, I’ll trust you just as I trust Xiao Bai." Ding Qiurou said to Bayer seriously.
Bayer listened, and his emotions were even more touched.
A scholar would die for one who recognizes his worth!
This saying perfectly suited his current mindset.
"Then I’ll trouble you." Bayer said with a smile.
"Mhm." Ding Qiurou nodded and then returned to her office.
Soon after, Bayer also returned to his office and got busy.
He hoped that when their Lord returned, he could see the surprise they prepared for him.
And at this mont, Bayer didn’t know that Zhou Bai was already on his way back, bringing with him a huge surprise!
