The pursuit was fruitless, and Louis and his gang could only return.
After Zhou Qingfeng and others dispersed, they ran for two or three kilometers, released the hidden servant to make sure that the opponent could not pursue it, and gathered again. Fortunately for this evacuation, Enissa sent someone to respond early, otherwise a large number of manpower would be lost.
After regrouping, everyone didn't react much, and they were used to winning or losing. Only Zhou Qingfeng's face was ugly. Inisa slowly approached and asked in a low voice, "Victor, how is your injury?"
"Fortunately." Zhou Qingfeng shed a lot of blood under his right rib, and the heavy iron armor failed to prevent the opponent's attack. Taking off his armor, his clothes were soaked in blood and frozen. Although the wound healed, there was still a blood-red knife mark.
"It's a good thing that I got this cut." Zhou Qingfeng whispered suddenly. Others heard clearly and looked at them.
It didn't take long for Enisa and others to participate in the match, and there was still a feeling of'I can't help the opponent, I can only be driven away.' Adrian and Kelly, who did not show up, were busy rescuing the slave girl who was in trouble, and finally returned, and they were not in a good mood.
In such an environment in the North, the believers of Olure really took advantage. The lava stone can only be restrained for a while, and after they get rid of it easily, their combat power can increase by more than 50% in the cold wind. In another place, they are definitely not so strong.
"Awake, it made me sober all at once." Zhou Qingfeng was still yelling. Everyone is afraid that he can't afford to lose this time, but they don't know how to comfort him.
Inisa whispered: "Victor, in fact, you have gained a lot this time. Being able to get so many people and materials from Banshee Fort has solved many of our problems and made us understand the strength of our opponents."
In Banshee Fort, Zhou Qingfeng transported more than 100 tons of oats at several times the price. It seems to be losing money, but it is most wicked. Others have corrupted the enemy's powerful, low-priced purchases of local specialties in the North, and digging out one or two hundred people are trivial, not worth mentioning.
In the Northland, food is life.
Food prices are irrational. If there is a 10% shortage of food, the price of food does not increase by 10%. Because food is just needed, lack of food will starve and even starve to death. Therefore, the price of food will continue to rise until the part of the population who lacks food cannot afford it.
Faced with a 10% food shortage, not everyone will eat nine percent full, but one in ten will be in a food shortage state, or even starve to death.
Zhou Qingfeng bought grain at a 50% premium. But waiting for him to run away, the price of food in Banshee Castle increased two or three times the normal situation. The dignitaries who control the food are making a lot of money, but the civilians in Banshee Castle complained, and the poor couldn't survive.
The manager of the Banshee Fort had no plans for relief, and sat and watched the people's grievances boiling. This alone is not something that can be settled with money, the trouble caused is enough to make Louis Feiers want to kill Zhou Qingfeng a hundred times.
Not to mention that after Zhou Qingfeng raised food prices, Louis Fils wanted to use food to control the cost of other lords in the North. This will greatly reduce the combat readiness of the Phils family and cannot be restored in a short time.
"Victor, don't be too demanding of yourself, and don't think that everything will go well. This kind of mentality is not good. You have already taken a lot of money from Banshee Castle. In addition to food, cloth and other materials, you It also got the population.
We are not short of those who can fight in battle, but those who can manage affairs. The villagers and adventurers in the village who can't even write their names obviously fail. The group of people sent back last time are all pretty good, and they can copy, write, and count, and they all come in great use. "
Poor places like the Black Forest have always been ignorant and barbaric ecological environments. Enisa has acquired a lot of knowledge through her studies before exile. Apart from her, no cultural person can be found in other human settlements.
There was a'Holy Light' in the village before, and communication was fairly convenient. But when Zhou Qingfeng left, many things changed in the communication. The order given by Inisa to the actual executor may even have a completely opposite understanding.
In the face of a group of illiterate people in the village, Enisa is also a genius to talk about even if she has the ability to reach the sky. About a month ago, the first batch of students gathered by Zhou Qingfeng was sent back. These people are not valued elsewhere, but come in handy in Harmony Village.
Being able to express ideas clearly and being able to make no mistakes in communication, this is the great comfort of Enisa in management.
What's even better is that after Zhou Qingfeng's beating and selection, there is no arrogance in sending this batch of students back. Let them do whatever they want, including teaching other people in the village to learn, so that knowledge can be spread in a simple and cheap way.
"With these students, I feel much more relaxed. I don't have to try my best to command the idiots underneath every day. Naturally, some people will have a headache." Inisa talked about the results of Zhou Qingfeng's trip to Banshee. Gives a high rating.
But Zhou Qingfeng himself said in a deep voice, "It's not our own headaches, but the enemy is different from what I thought.
I didn't feel it when dealing with the Long-legged family before, but now I realize that I can't underestimate the heroes of the northern cities. If you can’t win on the battlefield, what if you win in other ways? "
Enisa wanted to say some more nice comforts, but Zhou Qingfeng touched her split armor, frowned and said, "I hit him, and he didn't respond. He hit me, and I almost died. The combat mode of this world is good. I hate it!"
In the world of swords and magic, a small amount of high-end combat power can determine the direction of war. Zhou Qingfeng had enough soul crystals in the past, and he himself was a high-end combat power that affected the balance of the battlefield. Now... ...
"You still have to think of a way to get some high-quality soul crystals."
The journey back to Harmony Village is long, and it will take at least ten days to go back. After the men and horses of Banshee Fort stopped chasing, Zhou Qingfeng still stopped and waited to gather the scattered evacuees.
Resting on the first night, Zhou Qingfeng declined Enisa's kindness to accompany her. He sleeps in a tent alone, enters the information network, and prepares to return to the real world to get some soul crystals.
The previous method of obtaining mass killings was banned because of the promotion of violence, private trials, detailed criminal history, and many scars that caused bad public opinion.
Now it can only be obtained by task.
What task
Helped the grandmother to cross the road a hundred times and got a gray crystal.
Vomiting blood!
The task list is displayed on the TV that travels through time and space. The task list is basically based on harmony, and the benefits are extremely poor. It took Zhou Qingfeng for a long time to find a task that might suit him—starting a business, creating jobs, and increasing national GDP.
There is a bracket at the end of the task-solve the employment problem of the poor and double the benefits. Engaging in public welfare undertakings doubles the income.
Considering that I have a beautiful and capable beauty as a backing, and a civil servant in the system as a helper, it seems that it is not difficult to start a business-the big deal is to spend money to create jobs for charity, and then to help the poor.
Professor Zheng has turned into an apprentice to the necromancer, floating behind Zhou Qingfeng and seeing his current dilemma, he took the initiative to pat his shoulder and said: "I now master some simple techniques that can help you."
Zhou Qingfeng rolled his eyes, "What can you help?"
"As for public welfare, what do you think about environmental protection? It happens to be able to absorb a lot of poor people with limited ability and lack of competitiveness.
"Do you mean sweeping the street?"
"Trash disposal, my business."
"This is still sweeping the street."
