If they spent money in Iron Cloud Village, the villagers of Iron Cloud Village would only be responsible for the food, living, meals, and accommodation of these 1,000 elite soldiers.
That would be enough. After these elite soldiers received their salaries, they would naturally spend it in Iron Cloud Village. This way, the villagers of Iron Cloud Village would receive the money.
Of course, Lugh could give the 500,000 gold coins to the villagers of Iron Cloud Village.
However, this would only make them lazy and unwilling to work.
This would instead harm them in order to allow Iron Cloud Town to be built as soon as possible.
Hua Ye also brought over some of the snack stalls, tailor shops, ticket offices, blacksmiths' warehouses, a simple elemental beast master training class, and a source beast egg seller's office in Tian Feng City.
