Ye Mo sent Lu Tong away and then made a special trip to Qingyun Immortal City to recruit people.
The main purpose is to recruit some warriors with clean financial status.
Warriors are different from monks. Warriors cannot earn spiritual stones, but can only earn gold and silver in exchange for body-tempering herbs for cultivation.
Now that Ye's Fairy Village has nine more islands, it needs a huge number of warriors.
Ye Mo is not like the Lord Zou of Donglaixian Village who buys slaves everywhere.
The warriors Ye Mo recruited were basically free status. Most of these warriors were descendants of East China Sea monks, rather than slaves sold from the mainland.
Now that the situation in the sea has stabilized and a large-scale wave has just occurred, Ye's Fairy Village is safe and the warriors are willing to go there.
With Lu Tong's help, Ye Mo summoned hundreds of warriors.
He even recruited many casual monks who brought their families with them.
Compared with those who are alone, Ye Mo welcomes those who have families to settle in Ye Village for a long time, or even become villagers.
In this way, casual cultivators with families are more stable and loyal.
Ye's Fairy Village is developing at full capacity, and manpower is needed in almost all aspects. New monks and warriors can easily be found.
With the rapid increase in the number of sub-islands of Ye's Fairy Village, Ye's Fairy Village has also exploded in attraction, and the permanent population of Ye's Fairy Village has continued to increase at a snowball speed.
Ye Mo once again went to the inheritance hall of Qingyun Immortal Academy and redeemed several technologies that were urgently needed by the monks in the early stages of Qi training. Once he returned to Immortal Village, he distributed these new technologies, greatly improving the capabilities of each workshop in Immortal Village.
The entire Ye's Fairy Village is operating at full capacity.
The final task of the naval battle that Gao Jian, Chang Fei and others were responsible for also went very smoothly. In just over ten days, all the islands were occupied.
With the influx of a large number of warriors, corresponding functional buildings have been established on various islands to collect resources
Shiploads of spiritual wood and ore were continuously transported from various islands to Ye's Fairy Village and entered the city lord's palace warehouse.
The supplies in the warehouse are accumulating more and more, and the refining speed of the village's weapon refining workshop can no longer keep up.
There are a lot of spiritual trees accumulated, and the area of several miles in the valley seems small.
Ye Mo Yujian began to hire a large number of casual cultivators to expand the fairy village and build a larger outer village on the plain outside the valley.
Now, Ye Mo has enough strength and confidence to defend a larger fairy village from the beast tide.
The teleportation array on Ye's Spiritual Island flashed with light, and three young monks aged seventeen or eighteen appeared one after another. They seemed to be monks of the same clan.
The leader was a monk in purple robes.
The two people behind are a boy in blue robe and a girl in red.
Under the leadership of the young man in purple robe, the three of them entered the valley of Ye's Fairy Village. The monk in purple robe seemed to be very familiar with this place, but the young man in blue robe and the girl in red came here for the first time and looked around curiously.
"Ye's Fairy Village was built in this valley? This valley is not big, and it doesn't feel very strong."
The valley is only a few miles in size and can be seen as far as the eye can see. The girl in red said with some disappointment.
"Haha, this is just the inner village."
The young man in purple robe said with a smile, "A village is being built outside the valley. It is about ten miles in size. Come on, I will take you out to see it."
The purple-robed boy was very familiar with this place and took the two of them to visit several shops in the inner village.
Then, as they walked out of a village gate, the two new male and female monks were stunned.
Outside the valley is a flat land. At this time, rows of spiritual wood walls several feet high have been erected. These spiritual wood walls are temporarily divided into several sections. Once connected together, they will form a large fairy village.
Many monks are leading the warriors to build a fairy village, paving stone roads and building non-functional buildings.
Although the boy in blue robe and the girl in red grew up in the East China Sea, this was the first time they saw a real fairy village built, and they looked very curious.
"The announcement from the City Lord's Mansion said that this outer village can be built in half a month. There are eight streets in total, dividing the fairy village into more than twenty areas. By then, the shops and spiritual wood houses in the village will be for sale. I plan to buy them.
Let’s go to a shop and do some small business.”
The boy in purple robe looked at the two people who were in a state of surprise, chuckled, and said slowly.
"Will Fairy Village sell houses?"
The girl in red was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of longing, "It would be great if I could have my own spirit wood building."
Upon hearing this, the young man in blue robe immediately asked: "What's the price of the Lingmu Building here?"
The young man in purple robe shook his head gently: "I don't know yet. I heard from the steward of the City Lord's Mansion that the price will be set after the construction is completed."
However, if you become a villager in Fairy Village, you can receive a building for free, and you can choose any location. First-come-first-served basis. If you are not a villager, you will have to pay spiritual stones to purchase it."
"real?"
The girl in red looked happy, "Then let's just become villagers of this fairy village."
The young man in blue robe frowned and said: "But, after all, this is a newly built fairy village, and it is also in the remote Aolai Sea. Who knows what this place will be like in the future?"
"Can we enter those old fairy villages?"
The purple-robed young man shook his head slightly and said: "Not long ago, Ye's Fairy Village just experienced a big war. The ten-village alliance secretly plotted against Ye City Lord. As a result, he used a spy trick to win over one of the city Lords and seduce the other.
The nine fairy villages were defeated.
Eight city lords and more than a hundred monks were captured. These people are still trapped on the nameless stone island. There is no wood on the island to live, and the fish caught in the sea can only be eaten raw.
After this battle, Ye's Fairy Village has emerged and its reputation has grown. No other fairy village in this thousand-mile sea can challenge the status of Ye's Fairy Village."
"The fairy village of these captured city lords, won't you save them and go back?"
The girl in red's eyes widened and she slightly covered her mouth with an expression of disbelief.
"That's right!"
The boy in blue robe was also stunned.
"Of course I do, but where is the strength? Ye's Fairy Village has a huge fleet of warships cruising on the sea. As soon as other ships from other Fairy Villages appear, they will be sunk."
The purple-robed monk shook his head,
"This sea area has become calm. If you encounter danger, you can directly ask for help from Ye Village. The immortal guards of Ye Village do not make things difficult for casual cultivators. Lord Ye is a casual cultivator. He is different from the city lords who come from aristocratic families. Stay for a long time
You will understand
Ye's Fairy Village is already the most powerful fairy village thousands of miles away. I want to stay here and develop. We grew up together and have good friendships, so I specially asked you to come here. What do you two think?"
The purple-robed young man continued to speak. When he mentioned Ye Mo, the city lord, he couldn't help but show admiration.
The girl in red was a little moved and turned to look at the boy in blue.
The boy in blue robe was a little moved.
"Ye's Fairy Village is now one of the top thirty fairy villages in the Aolai Islands, outstanding in terms of combat power, technology and trade.
Let’s stay and take a look first, and then make a decision after fully understanding it. After all, becoming a fairy citizen is a big deal, and we can’t make a hasty decision.”
The young man in purple robe was very assertive and said with a smile: "No matter what, the three of us will go to our port together to rent a small boat and go out to sea to hunt monsters. Maybe we can make a small fortune."
The three of them nodded and purchased some spiritual items that needed to be used in the village. They left the outer village under construction and headed to the dock.
City Lord's Mansion.
Ye Mo and everyone were having a regular meeting.
"City Lord. In the past half month, a total of six large shops have been introduced and have officially opened. There are also some small miscellaneous shops, all independent shops of casual cultivators, selling some bulk goods. We also sell the spirit sword armor produced by ourselves.
I went out a lot, but the bulk of the money was still made by those shops.
Regarding the tax burden in Xiancun, due to the initial discounts given to various stores for opening stores, the income is still very low. The total daily tax burden is less than ten spirit stones.
Since the construction of the outer city has not been completed, there are no external refinery workshops to purchase raw materials. Therefore, there is no profit in raw materials.
Our largest source of stable income is our only weapon refining workshop, which can refine three sets of Red Fire Sword Armor every day, which can earn 500 spirit stones. Moreover, the raw materials for the refining are dug by ourselves, so the cost is very low.
Expenses are quite high, mainly paying various wages. Almost hundreds of spirit stones are spent every day, which are used to hire casual cultivators for mining, logging, shipbuilding, various workshops, planting spiritual fields, building Daxian Village, and purchasing spiritual stones.
Use herbs to refine vitality pills."
Chang Fei was holding a file and looked very serious against his dark complexion.
Chang Fei has left the shipping business and became the general manager of the city lord's palace. When he was training at Qingyun Immortal Academy, he majored in trade and management, and now he has a place to use.
As the new captains he trained have grown up, the maritime aspect has been handed over to his former subordinates.
Chang Fei finished reporting to Ye Mo.
"So, the current income and expenditure accounts of Xiancun are not optimistic. We have very little savings."
Ye Mo couldn't help but think deeply about how to improve the income of Ye's Fairy Village. His small savings meant that he did not have spiritual stones to buy more technology to improve the technical strength of the Fairy Village.
Hearing that a lot of money in Xiancun had been earned by other shops, Wang Hu's face suddenly darkened, "Why did we introduce those shops? The spiritual stones were already made by others. In my opinion, we should open our own shops.
We sell everything ourselves, and the spiritual stones we earn are all in our hands."
Mo Ling rolled her eyes at him and said, "What a bad idea. Do you want our fairy city to stay in the fairy village stage?"
Wang Hu scratched his head and asked: "The more spiritual stones you earn, the easier it will be to upgrade, right?"
Chang Fei showed a smile on his face and said: "Brother Wang Hu, Donglai Fairy Village, Qingyun Fairy City, and the fairy cities we passed before arriving at Aolai Sea Area. In any of these places, all the shops are opened by the city owner.
?”
Wang Hu was stunned, and after recalling it for a moment, he immediately showed doubts: "There are more than one similar shops in these places, and they should not all be opened by the city lords. It's strange, why is this? I don't understand, you can't make money by yourself if you have spiritual stones.
, do you have to share it with others?"
Chang Fei smiled bitterly: "If you want to revitalize the fairy city, you must allow more forces to enter. Only the more shops can attract more monks, the greater the benefits. And these forces will provide us with services for their own benefit in the fairy city.
More support
The strength of each fairy city cannot be completely achieved by the city lord's palace. Look at the Qingyun Lord Fairy City. How many forces are there in a big fairy city? There are countless forces, large and small. It is the existence of these forces that can support a huge city.
The Fairy City, making it one of the thirty-six main cities in the East China Sea."
After listening, Wang Hu still looked puzzled and couldn't help but blush: "I don't understand or think about it anymore. Since you said it makes sense, Lao Chang, it must make sense."
Ye Mo laughed: "We can't produce so many things at all. It is necessary to attract more shops. In this way, we can attract more monks, and the total income of the entire fairy city will increase significantly. When we can produce it ourselves, we will earn more."
That’s more”
"Hey Brother Ye, I understand when you say this."
Wang Hu immediately laughed.
Everyone else couldn't help laughing.
Ye Mo asked again: "Besides the lack of optimism in terms of income and expenditure, is there anything else?"
"Brother Ye, look at the more than 100 monk prisoners who have been detained for more than half a month. The Eight Immortal Villages send people to negotiate almost every day, constantly asking for redemption from their city lords and monks. Do you think they will continue to be detained?"
Gao Jian stood up and said.
"captive?"
Ye Mo was slightly startled. Recently he has been busy negotiating with various aristocratic families who want to settle in, and with the expansion of Fairy Village, he is very busy.
He had left these prisoners aside for too long, and now he was reminded to remember them. He couldn't help but muttered, "There is no need to keep them locked up all the time. They can no longer climb over the waves, so as not to cause problems if they are locked up for a long time. We just happen to be short of spiritual stones.
I will go talk to them personally and discuss the price of redemption."
Everyone burst into laughter. After receiving the ransom, Ye Cun was able to use this huge financial resources to grow explosively again.
