Chapter 152: Chapter 091: If You Can’t Beat Them, Join Them - Part 2

At its core, all of these achievements required significant financial backing initially.

At first, his finances were not as robust as the others, but they were still substantial, sadly, he hadn’t realized this and had lost the initiative.

Now, relying too heavily on the system, he was likely to cripple the economy of his territory!

Compared to the Lord supporting his opponent, he felt like a fool.

Nothing is more discouraging than comparing oneself to others!

Fortunately, he had a sudden realization and no longer thought about competing with Hope Village.

Otherwise, in the end, he would have been utterly defeated.

Bei Wenkang was very grateful, grateful that he had a brain.

Yun Juncai smiled upon hearing this; he felt that his territory was strong.

And the strength of the territory also contributed to the robustness of its residents.

Among the more than a thousand people in the territory, over six hundred were professionals now, involved in various professions, and had become a force that could not be ignored.

"Having finished the tour, do you have any other requests?" Yun Juncai continued.

Bei Wenkang responded, "Your territory is buying goods, can I sell?"

His money had been largely depleted by construction. His visit this time was also intended to make sales, especially since the last time the opposing team had sold quite a bit in his territory, and so he had borrowed quite a few goods from the residents of his territory.

Now if the opposite territory was buying, it would be good to sell the goods he brought to the officials of Hope Village.

Listening, Yun Juncai said, "We should be buying, but if you have items different from those in Hope Village, I am willing to pay a higher price."

"Okay, but I will need to buy goods later..."

"I can introduce you, and I guarantee you’ll be satisfied," Yun Juncai decisively replied.

Bei Wenkang nodded in agreement.

Having a middleman was indeed useful, and he was in a hurry to return! Later, he might not need to come personally; he could send a trusted person to contact Yun Juncai or have Yun Juncai send someone to Yuxi Village to negotiate in person.

Then, the two men began to discuss all of Bei Wenkang’s goods.

After trading the items he wanted with the opponent, Yun Juncai immediately paid a part of the deposit.

"Shall I pay the balance later and take you to the Lord Mansion now?" Yun Juncai said directly.

"...Yes." He knew the other man did not have much money and would need to wait for those funds to be available before paying him, while also making a profit.

But... in his presence, was it really okay to be so flagrant?

Bei Wenkang sighed lightly and then followed him to the Lord Mansion.

At that time, he also noticed the bulletin board in front of the Lord Mansion and could not help but look at it several times.

Did this building exist?

His Lord panel’s unlockable buildings did not have this one.

"This is a product of the territory’s Wood Workshop, a Bronze Equipment. Its creator, by pursuing carpentry, became a professional, whose profession is carpenter. Currently, he is the only one in the territory, but similar life professionals are not few; we also have chefs, harvesters... They were not combatants early on and worked in the territory to sustain themselves. Unexpectedly, even such roles could accumulate experience and become professionals. The later data shows that to become such professionals, mere talent is not enough. Even if you have the talent, relying on combat to increase your experience will only lead to combat-related professions," Yun Juncai straightforwardly said.

He told the other party just to let him know that non-combatants in the territory are also important, not to be overlooked.

If the other party realized this, perhaps in the future, the elderly, children, or even those who had lost their combat capability would not be casually abandoned by the territory.

He also knew from NPCs that in many territories on Stan Continent, professionals who had lost their combat ability were often discarded!

Listening, Bei Wenkang was somewhat shocked but still graciously accepted the goodwill, "Thank you."

He had learned something indeed.

Afterward, upon entering the Lord Mansion, Bei Wenkang also saw the territory’s bulletin board.

The entire right wall was covered with bulletin boards.

The content was directly divided into four sections.

The first section: Rules that must be adhered to in the territory and the penalties for violations.

The second section: Territory announcements.

The third section: Territory recruitment notices.

The fourth section: Territory purchases.

The four sections, those with little content were posted directly, while those with more content rotated.

For example, the territory announcements directly announced the establishment of four new departments in the territory and the affairs they were responsible for; those needing to transact could go directly to the respective offices.

Seeing this, Bei Wenkang was somewhat shocked.

This way, wasn’t the power of the territory being handed over to others?

Thinking this, Bei Wenkang unconsciously voiced his thought.

Yun Juncai glanced at him and said, "Now with fewer people, you can manage, but later, with potentially thousands or tens of thousands, are you sure you can handle everything just with the so-called authority of the Lord?"

Bei Wenkang fell silent.

He really couldn’t.

He had also thought about maintaining order before, thus had recruited personnel which subsequently triggered the formation of a soldier team.

With the soldier team, order had indeed improved, but in managing the territory, he was already finding himself spread thin and considering using his confidants to help handle matters.

Now it seemed that perhaps having a formal department would be better.

Then, Bei Wenkang directly went to the fourth section and started trading the resources he had.

After selling everything, Bei Wenkang looked at Yun Juncai, "Let’s go, take me shopping."

After shopping, he hurried home to reorganize his territory.

At that moment, Bei Wenkang had realized that the success of Hope Village wasn’t just built on finances.

The assets they had were beyond his current reach.

But since he couldn’t surpass them, he might as well join them!
