I Become a Landlady in the Game World-Chapter 827 - 398: Through Storms and Rain, I Just Want to Work Hard! (Part 3)

In just a month’s time, with the current ability of Hope Town to attract wealth and the platforms it can access, it will definitely develop rapidly.

No matter his attitude, it cannot hinder their development, so why make enemies?

As a child of a prominent family, Earl Orkot’s vision isn’t that narrow; after weighing his options, he still chose the one most beneficial to him and his family’s interests.

Of course, having made a choice, he couldn’t avoid the feeling of suffocation due to his territory’s position being overtaken by others, which is why he was so sullen.

Upon listening, Simmons instantly understood.

In fact, deep down, Simmons felt a bit relieved.

According to the information he possessed, Hope Village wasn’t someone to mess with easily.

If the two territories went against each other, who would suffer more wasn’t certain!

Now aware of his Lord’s attitude, Simmons proactively spoke, "Lord, this is our financial income for this month."

As he spoke, Simmons handed several sheets of paper to Earl Orkot.

Earl Orkot gazed at the sheets, silent for a moment.

Speaking of which, although it doesn’t seem apparent on the surface, Hope Town’s products have imperceptibly permeated Bengala Town, and many people’s daily lives have become inseparable from Hope Town’s goods.

In fact, their products have changed many of the world’s original habits.

For example, these papers were originally made from sheepskin scrolls, crafted from some usable beast skins, specially processed for long-term preservation use.

But since the invention of Hope Village’s paper, they dominated the market with their lightweight features, most importantly with low prices.

Thinking this, Earl Orkot continued to review his territory’s financial income.

After reviewing the overall data, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It was much more, even several times more.

"This... what’s going on?"

"Because there are more economic activities in the territory, and many external merchant teams come from Hope Village. Previously, the distance prevented them from coming over, but with the Task Center, they can travel back and forth from Hope Village easily. Our territory has the most villages on Stan Continent, so with our Silver Equipment selling more, naturally, tax revenues increase. As the merchants’ income increases, they are more willing to invest, and the residents and professionals’ incomes also increase; overall, the economic situation improves." Simmons analyzed.

He discerned this reason from the massive change in the territory’s financial income, realizing this only after learning about it.

Previously, their territory’s prosperity had similar grounds, but it had never been deeply studied; Hope Town brought immense change, making him notice this point.

It turns out, as long as the method is appropriate, invigorating the economy is faster than exploiting residents for revenue.

Listening to this, Earl Orkot instantly caught onto Simmons’ point. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Speaking of which, he initially chose Simmons as his Village Chief and Mayor because the latter had a knack for making money, and it could be said he could claim half the credit for the fame of Silver City.

"Hope Town’s openness brings such great benefits; otherwise, should we open up too?" Earl Orkot instantly felt eager.

If Hope Town could do it, perhaps they could too.

Listening, Simmons helplessly said, "Opening up isn’t really as easy for us as it is for Hope Town. Hope Town has too many commodities to offer, and they’re quality and affordable, whoever goes there ends up spending money. Overall, Hope Town’s openness only profits, not losses, but we... can’t."

In the end, Simmons firmly stated his last two words.

Earl Orkot: "..."

Earl Orkot paused, "Alright! Let it be like this! It benefits all parties to establish good relations with Hope Town."

Observing Earl Orkot’s expression, Simmons immediately suggested, "I have another proposal, and that’s for our territory to build a road to Hope Town like Glasgow Village did, facilitating merchant travel."

Earl Orkot: "... Are we funding the construction ourselves?"

"Yes." Simmons replied, "If Glasgow Village can build a road to Hope Town, so can we."

"Alright!" Earl Orkot was convinced once more.

Speaking of which, Hope Town was quite fun; last time visiting didn’t satisfy him!
