At midnight, looking at the boiling Weisen Town, looking at the excited townspeople cheering loudly, Yang Ling was deeply moved.

  In other people's eyes, I am a noble from a wealthy family and a powerful summoner whose strength is unfathomable. But only I know the truth in my heart!

  If it weren't for the mysterious witch tower, I might still be huddled in front of a second-hand computer desk playing World of Warcraft; if there were no mysterious spells, I would have been torn to pieces by the monsters in the dense forest long ago; without the army of World of Warcraft, let alone becoming a lord in this strange world, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to fill my belly!

  Witchcraft is the foundation of one's own survival; magic beasts are the support for one's own development; low-key is the true way of kings!

  Agus and Gud were overjoyed, but he didn't let his excitement get the better of him.

  In this world where the strong prey on the weak, without sufficient strength, showing off everywhere will only lead to a faster death. Visen Town is big, but in front of many massive empires, it's just like an ant next to an elephant, its strength is not worth mentioning.

  It's hard to conquer the world, but it's even harder to defend it! Moreover, with only a little power in hand, facing the fiercely staring empire and this unknown world, low-key development of strength is the best choice.

  Successfully controlling Weisen Town is far from the end of victory, and it's not time to relax and enjoy yet; a new life has just begun!

  As people walked around excitedly, Yang Ling's heart moved and he turned to instruct Agu Su to gather Murberqi and Gud etc. to discuss the next plan.

  Agus moved quickly and soon Mulberry, Good and others rushed over. After understanding Yang Ling's meaning, they all expressed their own ideas.

  "Sir, although we defeated the Bantu reinforcements and successfully occupied Weisen Town, our actual strength is still insufficient. To say nothing of other things, at least a force of two thousand men is needed to garrison the Arashan Pass for a long time, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy!"

  After rushing back from the Aral Mountain Pass in a flurry, Kassy expressed her concerns. After Yang Ling withdrew the demon beast army, the defense of the Aral Mountain Pass suddenly became empty. Now that the attitude of the Bantu Empire is not yet clear, if they send out a large army to launch a surprise attack, the 800 soldiers at the Aral Mountain Pass will definitely be insufficient to hold them off.

  "Impossible, absolutely impossible! We're already struggling to maintain a guard of over a thousand men. Where would we get the crystal coins to recruit even more soldiers?" Old steward Mulberch loudly opposed.

  These days, his head is as big as a bowl, and after Viscount Castle became the lord's mansion, more people need to be recruited. Every day, money is spent like flowing water, and income and expenses are severely out of balance. If a large number of soldiers are recruited again, with the current daily income that cannot make ends meet, it may go bankrupt one day.

  "Gu De, what's your take on this?" Yang Ling asked calmly, turning to Gu De who was deep in thought.

  After a moment of contemplation, Good said: "Sir, the daily expenses are indeed too high now. We must think of ways to develop and sell resources such as wood and minerals as soon as possible!"

  "Right, Yang Ling. We must develop the resources of Tras Forest as soon as possible. In this regard, our Brad Commercial Association can provide strong assistance and support!"

  Hailley fervently echoed Good's suggestion, Tras Forest is rich in resources. If they can monopolize the trade of these resources, their Brad Chamber of Commerce will absolutely be able to earn a large amount of crystal coins. A low-grade magic beast core may only need 100 purple crystal coins in Visen Town, but after being transported back to the Commonwealth Union, it's worth at least over 1,000 purple crystal coins, an absolute profit.

  After taking a sip of the jasmine tea handed over by Alice, Yang Ling fell into deep thought. At this stage, it is necessary to recruit warriors to guard the Aras Mountain Pass, and it is also necessary to establish a solid fortress there, as well as develop various resources in Tras. However, without sufficient manpower, all of this is just empty talk.

  Whether a region can develop its economy rapidly, capital is important, but sufficient and cheap labor is even more indispensable. In the late 1980s, without a large number of cheap migrant workers going south to work, the coastal "three come one supplement" economy would not have been able to develop rapidly. If China did not have the demographic dividend at the end of the 20th century, reform and opening-up would also be extremely difficult.

  "We need to develop the resources of Tras Forest on a large scale, which requires a lot of crystal coins, but what we need even more is a large number of laborers!" After pausing for a moment, Yang Ling continued: "Without sufficient labor force, who will mine for us? Without sufficient labor force, who will hunt and chop wood for us?"

  Enough labor?

  After a moment of contemplation, people generally acknowledged Yang Ling's words. Without sufficient labor force, it was fundamentally impossible to develop the resources of the Trass Forest on a large scale. However, Weisen Town was remote and out of the way, where could they come up with a large number of young and strong laborers in a short time?

  "Weishan town is rich in resources, but it's remote and out of the way. Moreover, there are many native tribes along the road who are like bandits. If one wasn't struggling to survive, who would be willing to come here and live a hard life, climbing mountains and crossing rivers?"

  After shaking his head, Good sighed helplessly, which drew a chorus of agreement from the crowd. Weissen Town was originally just a desert with only one ridiculously large ancient castle. As more and more refugees came to escape natural disasters, it gradually formed into this small town. Without large-scale wars or natural disasters, who would be willing to travel far and wide to live here?

  Are there many native tribes like bandits?

  Everyone sighed and was at a loss, but Yang Ling had an idea under the unintentional reminder of Gu De.

  Whether from the Bantu Empire to Visentown, or from the Livinsa Principality Alliance to Visentown, there are countless indigenous tribes scattered along the way. Many of the natives were born cruel and lived by plundering, making the situation chaotic and posing a serious threat to passing merchant caravans. This is also one of the reasons why Visentown has rich resources but cannot develop.

  Destroying their lair can not only clear the threat for the merchant team and promote the development of Weisen Town, but also obtain a large number of slave-like laborers. Perhaps, they can also take the opportunity to search out a lot of crystal coins or some valuable specialties, killing three birds with one stone.

  No matter from which angle, sending troops to sweep away the native tribes on both sides of the road like bandits is an absolutely profitable business. In the absence of a large number of people, Yang Ling would not miss such a good opportunity.
