Wu Hui's inference was accurate. The internal conflicts in Black Rock City had reached a stage on the verge of breaking out.
And his kidnapping of slaves from the Highland Chamber of Commerce became the trigger for the conflict to break out. Goldtooth Henry, the owner of the Highland Chamber of Commerce, mistakenly believed that the enemy was attacking him, so he began to gather allies. Originally he just wanted to defend himself, but it aroused the defense of his hostile target.
There is no trust between the two parties in this situation. If you are suddenly ready for battle, then I must be ready too. So everyone started mobilizing for war.
War means preparing to fight. If everyone is ready to fight, then they will look for opportunities for each other to take action.
The city lord's palace started a curfew.
Blackstone City completely entered chaos. The three major chambers of commerce, the parliamentary guards controlled by them, and the combined forces of the city lord's palace and the old sect went to war.
This is not a head-on confrontation between two countries, but more like a civil strife in a country.
Confrontations broke out between different factions over a small incident. Neither side wants to cause too many changes within the city. Instead, small groups of troops will carry out beheadings and try to control important nodes from all walks of life.
It was already the fifth month since Wu Anzhe's camp was established.
Lucas has been hanging out a lot recently with the Blackstone Knights Scouting Group. Working to make money was secondary. The main thing was to help Wu Hui inquire about the specific situation in the city.
Although he had long known that Black Rock City would be in chaos, he never expected that he would be the trigger.
Now that I know it, I don’t have any reaction. It doesn't make any difference to the situation whether it was caused by oneself or not by oneself.
At this time, the militia has taken initial shape, with a total of thirty. Compared to the current camp with less than 400 people, this is already too much. Wu Hui felt that it was not enough. With such a small number of people, he and Cordel could take care of it.
Emily will also help with some errands. Wu Hui will next develop a more complete system and divide it into four main parts: schools, farmland, mines, and militia. Participate in teaching or complete studies, carry out farming work, collect ores and smelt metals. and other activities, all of which are scored upon completion. Points can be exchanged for food, housing, and other benefits.
It can also be regarded as the prototype of an internal currency.
At present, there are only a few people, only about twenty supervisory and statisticians are enough. This system will need to be gradually improved in the future.
The first step is to give points more action. We must also create more demand for the people. Only when there is demand will they be motivated to work.
Now they just need to have food to eat and a place to live. In the future, we need to eat well, have good clothes, a big house, and wine... This is a good thing, because it is everyone's right to pursue a better life. You don’t need to fulfill all their wishes at once, you just need to make them feel that their days are getting better day by day.
"It is impossible to develop a sufficient commodity economy with just a small camp, let alone a more developed social system."
Wu Hui's eyes were still on Black Rock City. Without growing up by eating here, their Wuyin camp would not be able to develop at all. Of course, Wu Hui actually already has a specific plan, but he still needs to wait for the opportunity.
Originally, giving him one year was enough, but now Black Rock City is in chaos too quickly...
"Two options, one is to miss this time. Anyway, with the reduction of firewood resource shortage, Blackstone City will definitely not be messed up just once. We can still prepare slowly." During the meeting with everyone, Wu Hui said his analyze.
Of course, except for Cordell, no one else quite understood what Wu Hui was trying to do. Wouldn’t it be nice if the camp developed slowly? Why are you so anxious to capture Black Rock City? Do we have that ability?
Cordell actually didn't fully understand. Because in his opinion, the current Black Rock City is a mess. The shortage of fuelwood is not a problem that can be solved by administrative means.
Even if Wu Hui takes down the entire Black Rock City, how will he manage it? How to solve the problem of insufficient firewood?
Or do you just want to make a fortune and leave?
"The second option is to take chestnuts from the fire. Reach cooperation with some forces in the city. Then cooperate with them to achieve victory and share some of the benefits." Wu Hui said.
"You should have already made a decision, and you probably made two preparations before coming to give us the task, right?" Cordell pointed out Wu Hui's true purpose again. This made Wu Hui show appreciation.
"That's right. If you can reach a good agreement, complete it. If you can't, just give up and develop with peace of mind." Wu Hui said: "Lucas, I want you to contact the Blackstone Knight Investigation Team, promise them some help, and tell them that there is no need to You can come and hide with us when you can walk."
"The requirement is that when the literate management talents and craftsmen in the city escape, we should guide them to the Wuyin camp."
Lucas: "To help, you mean?"
"More than that. There are many strong people in our camps in the wilderness. Including me, together we will be a strong force." Wu Hui said: "This is the second thing I want to do. Cordell, you have been following traveling traders in different camps recently, can you contact those people?"
Cordel could keep up with Wu Hui's most superficial thoughts every time: "Are you going to unite the camps in the wilderness and work together to fight for profits in the chaos of Black Rock City?"
"Yes, Wudian Camp has only been established for a few months, and there are few people in the wilderness. If we want to continue to develop, we can only rely on integrating other camps. If we can join forces with them this time and establish a dominant position. In the future, our population Once it increases enough to absorb the impact of their addition, it can then enter snowball mode.”
Wu Hui spoke for a long time, which sounded a bit boring.
He placed a map on the table. It shows the distribution of sporadic camps around Black Rock City.
"I give you the first gift. Attack the Highland Chamber of Commerce."
Population, weapons, firewood. These are things that all camps lack. Taking this opportunity to build a preliminary and complete production system in the Wuyin camp, with a population of thousands and an army of over a hundred, it will not be a problem.
This is not a small amount. The armies of the major forces in Black Rock City are actually only a thousand people. The total amount is five to six thousand.
At this time, in Blackstone City.
The armed slave catchers of the Highlanders' Chamber of Commerce, together with the Parliamentary Guards, launched an attack on the city lord.
"Here we come." Mr. City Lord looked at Henry Goldtooth approaching with his army, showing a solemn expression.
Behind him, the leader of the Blackstone Knights held the weapon in his hand: "City Lord, all members of the Blackstone Knights are ready. We can launch an attack at any time and crush all rebels."
"Indeed, I believe you can do it." The city lord held a piece of paper in his hand, and after thinking about it again and again, he still didn't say anything.
This piece of paper comes from the loot collected from the Death Cult by the Blackstone Knights Scouting Group. It allows people to control the power of death. If necessary, the city lord will use it.
