After Han Xi finished, Mu Qing Lang came with an idea capable of providing him with two benefits. As it will require him to utilize the hundred-man platoon to do his bidding, Mu Qing Lang decided to take a trip personally to the newly built barracks later.

Continuing after Han Xi is over, Fengbu's report required Mu Qing Lang to follow him into the storage room. It seems that the Eastern Sea Oyster found himself a cooling spot here. Because it was so full of products traded every day, staying here allowed it to eat without control.

If based on the return of the investment, this is an unprofitable business at all. For every 1,000 Xian-Ren Grass eaten, one Eastern Sea Spiritual Pearl is produced. This is the cost it could be sold for 2 pearls. Plus the descendant of Marquis is quite picky about his food and only fancy on quality products.

But luckily, the Xian-Ren Grass it loved so much can be harvested once every two days. With the workforce of 100 people, their yield on the Eastern Changzhou Farm has estimated 50,000 stalks a day, which is far more than enough for them.

"During the time master is not around, we had conducted thirteen trades. Out of the thirteen, three comes from the Jinjiang Village, Wuhan Village, and Ashen-Orc Village." Fengbu's beginning of the report got him interested.

"It's them? What did they purchase?" their visit made Mu Qing Lang smiled sneakily. One has to know that while operating a business, one has to be wary of both friends, partners, and even rivals.

"The three Eastern Sea Spiritual Pearls are used to purchase a total of 285 bottles of Recovery Ointment," Fengbu answered his question immediately as he's well prepared for any questionnaires.

"Recovery Ointment... Looks like they intended to recreate the same product using their own way... I am so interested to see what kind of end product they could create out of the blue." Mu Qing Lang laughed the matter aside as he waited for Fengbu to continue.

"As for the ten other trades, two came from the Goldfang-Orc Village. We purchased 3,000 Medicinal Golden Tusks from them and sold 1,425 bottles of Recovery Ointments and 270 bottles of Infused Juniper Oil to them."

Fengbu's record is based on 95 bottles of Recovery Ointment per pearl and 18 bottles of Infused Juniper Oil per pearl. Based on how he sees them, it was a profitable business because almost 95% of all the products were made from what they grew.

Mu Qing Lang doesn't have the intention to create economic distress for his buyers, but he will not advise them to overuse their funds either. While his treasury continues to grow bigger, the plants would never stop producing unless they lack the manpower to manage the crop.

It might seem less profitable for his position, but it was a high potential business in the long run. After all, the Goldfang Boar took about 20 to 40 days to grow into its adulthood, but Mu Qing Lang's plants can be harvested almost daily.

"Wenchao Village is trading their cloudy limewater with us. As we have no idea what to do with it, we offered them two Eastern Sea Spiritual Pearls for the right to collect them for thirty days period. As for the two pearls, it was used to buy 18 bottles of Infused Juniper Oil and 95 bottles of Recovery Ointment."

"Next would be Kong Village, they traded with us a kind of plant similar to the Yunxia Bamboo, but not that tall and very juicy. They called it Sugarcane. Because it might be the next alternative for our Root Sucrose Liquid, I've purchased 300 of them for 3 Eastern Sea Spiritual Pearls and sold 36 bottles of Infused Juniper Oil to them. The leftover of one pearl actually used to buy 100ml of Root Sucrose Liquid instead."

"As for the leftover six purchases, they're just leather and some similar fruits like what we have, therefore I will not describe them one by one. Other than that, we heard something from the nearby Ka-Ruo Settlement."

Although Fengbu came from there, he managed to put private and business matter separately, which is notable in Mu Qing Lang's eyes. He immediately placed his attention to what will come out from Fengbu's lips next.

"Ashen-Orcs started to expand themselves in numbers. Recently, they launched three attacks to the smaller settlements in Yan Emperor Grassland and captured over 600 humans as captives."

"Even the goblins are no exception. One village is destroyed. We estimate that two hundred goblins at least are captured along with their hobgoblin leader." Fengbu shared the news he heard while trading with those from Ka-Ruo Settlement, but the crucial explanation finally comes next.

"Fengbu is worried about their intention. The three human settlements and goblin village connect into a line, cutting off the path for Kong Village and Wenchao Village to come and trade with us."

"And at the other end of their straight line, it is the abandoned village used to belong to the Tiezu-Ocs. If what they tried to do is to establish their second camp, I'm worried that they'll..."

"Master, bad news!" Guan Yi came into the treasury with an urgent matter.

"What happened?" based on how much he understands Guan Yi, this Goblin Champion will not interrupt him unless it was an urgent matter.

"Ashen-Orcs and Wuhan are fighting. It seems that they are fighting for the land used to belong to the Tiezu-Orcs. Helping the Wuhan Village is the remaining scattered settlements of our Chang Emperor Prairie, which also means that they had chosen on a side!"

Guan Yi's statement contained two different interest within. The first interest is to join them in this war or mediates the relationship between them. But at the same time, his action will tell each of his neighbors about his might in armed soldiers and revealed their hidden card publically.

And if they do not participate in this battle, it means that the Eastern Changzhou is taking a defensive stance, showing the other villages their lack of ability to launch an attack against their rival.

"Aiya..." Mu Qing Lang relaxed completely on the bamboo recliner. Both of his eyes are shut as he tries to come up with the best solution to handle this matter.

His Chief Manor stays in silence for three minutes. After that, Mu Qing Lang came up with a much proper solution.

"Guan Yi. summon Ka-Ba and Han Yu here." Mu Qing Lang command is simply too calm as if the sea stops roaring to keep its energy to send a crushing wave towards his enemies.

"Master!" the two arrived within five minutes once summoned.

"Ka-Ba, take five squadrons and make your way to the Wenchao Village. Each soldier will carry a bamboo bucket with a lid to bring back some of their cloudy limewater for the Eastern Changzhou's Chief Mu."

"On your way there, you're not restricted of taking any action if any disturbance that may wreck the bamboo bucket happened. Be it Ashen-Orcs or not, whoever disturbs you from bringing me the water back will be either killed, captured, or brought into slavery!"

His order is straight to its point.

"I want some cloudy limewater from Wenchao. I don't care who you are and what you're doing. If you dare to block my path, I'll dare to kill you." his reason is ridiculous, but Mu Qing Lang indeed can do something like this if he wishes.

"And for Han Yu, bring the remaining five squadrons and visit Namu Settlement, Yelu Settlement, and then Wuhan Village. Bring three hundred Xian-Qin Pills with you and openly recruits people from there."

"I don't care if its an orc, a satyr, goblin, or a human. Every settlement, one hundred people. Once we got enough, you'll leave for another. If there's a disturbance, you're qualified to dismiss them as you see fit."

"If both of you understand what you'll need to do, quickly go and get it done. When you're back, everyone will be rewarded heavily for my limewater and people!" Mu Qing Lang's action of hitting the small thigh and saying it was an accident was beautifully planned.

As long they did not waste their effort in the seven days of training, it will not be a problem at all for them to complete his mission. When the two platoon leaders left his manor, Mu Qing Lang turned to Guan Yi for his next instruction.

"Bring Yulin and Fengbu after our meeting is done to the Mushan Village, I want them to help strike a business deal between our village." Mu Qing Lang ordered Guan Yi to get ready while he continues with his discussion with Fengbu.

"Fengbu..." Mu Qing Lang's voice becomes pleasing to Fengbu. While the others were troublesome for him, Fengbu can be said to be the most independent individual working for him. Although he did not participates in any life-threatening battles, his responsibility in Eastern Changzhou is not less than Han Xi, Guan Yi, and others.

"Yes, master." Fengbu immediately answered to his call.

"Go to Mushan Village with Yulin and Guan Yi. Try to promote the Eastern Changzhou excellent treatment and food, and tell them that we're hiring heavy workers to help in both mining and extracting the silk from an Eight-Legged creature."

"Furthermore, entice them with the pay of 1 Eastern Sea Spiritual Pearl for every ten days of employment. If they perform well, the payroll will come to their hand earlier. Use heavy speeches such as [good prospects] and [safe] to convince them."

"Try to hire a hundred of them, stating the Eastern Changzhou will provide both meal and shelter during their employment! Repeating worker will obtain the chances for a dual village pass, which allow them to come in and out and stay in Eastern Changzhou for free!"

Mu Qing Lang is throwing out all the benefits just to entice everyone to stand at his side! What else feels better than buying them using money?
