Chapter 186: A New Form
The wind of the moon blows in people's faces with a heat wave, and even though it is close to the sea, Ujung Pandang does not get a little extra coolness, but because of the salty smell of the sea tide, it makes people feel even hotter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Thor stood on the walls of the West City, watching the other half of the wall collapse, the damage caused by meteoritology being repaired little by little, and in his vision were busy slaves and Cerveros.
Since the Soths did not trade in the same way as the Serveros, and the monetary system between the two was completely different, Diana was already trying to modify it slowly, but it was still very inconvenient for the current rule.
So Thor came up with a more convenient method of calculation that applied to all Thors, Serveros, and slaves.
Saul came up with the concept of "division of work", which means that every time a job arranged by the Bureau of Agriculture or Works is completed, a certain amount of work is paid.
Labor can be exchanged for the supplies that people need in their daily lives, such as food and water.
The war not only destroyed the city, but also severely affected the daily trade, the granary was held by the Sol faction, and the ordinary residents of Severo had limited food in their hands, and no one would come out to exchange their food for others.
So in order to survive, everyone is forced to go out of the house and participate in various jobs assigned by Saul in exchange for work.
In fact, Thor replaced money with food and paid it to the people who worked, and the work was just a convenient concept to convert.
For the common Severo, it was natural to exchange for food, but for those who were once slaves, it was more important.
Because in the regulations, Saul clearly stated that as long as he accumulated enough 100,000 labor points, he could be reinstated as a free citizen.
At present, a day of work in Ujung Pandang can be exchanged for about 10 points a day for such light tasks as repairing houses and cleaning up the streets, and 30-40 for more arduous and tiring tasks.
It seems that the desire to be free by doing ordinary work seems to be a long way off, but at the same time there is another task that can allow slaves to earn a lot of work, and that is to join the army.
Under the rules, every slave who joins the army immediately receives 500 credits, and each enemy killed in battle can also receive 100 credits, plus various rewards after victory, 100,000 credits become not a distant thing.
As a result, most of the able-bodied, standard-fitting slaves joined the army, and they were among the first to be able to break out of slavery in Thor's plan.
As for the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled slaves, Thor has no intention of completely extinguishing their hopes, and needs to give them hope in order to maintain stability.
Therefore, Saul also stipulated that if a person who was a slave did not do anything illegal for ten years, he could automatically be pardoned and become a free man.
This also gives hope to those who are unable to participate in the battle or who are not physically fit enough to become a destabilizing factor in the city.
Of course, the Nameless are in a different situation, most of them have skills that the barbarians don't have, so they have a better chance of getting a share of the work, and they get more, while Thor has fewer restrictions on them, only half of the work of other slaves, in exchange for freeman status.
"Boom, boom—" Footsteps came from behind him, and Thor turned his head to see Diana running towards him.
"Lord Thor, Kratos's troops have set off—" During this time, Diana was the busiest person, and almost all of the large and small affairs up and down were assigned by Thor to a few of their core people, among which Diana took over the most affairs and the most complicated, and she was the one who reported to Thor, so this could make her very tired.
Thor also understood her hardship, and said softly in a considerate tone: "Thank you for your hard work, how are the slave warriors?"
The troops brought out by Kratos this time were to exterminate the remaining Cerverus Qukou, in addition to some wolf cavalry and Soth warriors in the headquarters, there were also a large number of Servero slaves, totaling more than 7,000 people.
"Their morale is very high and their food supplies are abundant, so I think there should be no problem. Diana smiled and replied confidently.
Thor nodded, fortunately, these Severo people are thick enough to support him to sweep away the other ditches immediately after he captures Ujung Pandang, otherwise relying on the Thors' own food reserves, let alone conscripting the slave legion to go on the expedition, I am afraid that the food and drink for nearly 100,000 people in the city will be stretched.
Diana's most important task these days is the census, according to the statistics, the entire Ujunpandang Sevellos, slaves, nameless people, plus the cliff corner and the Soth people in front of him, the population of the force controlled by Thor has reached 100,000 people.
This is a qualitative leap forward from before, with a labor force ten times greater than before, Saul believes that many jobs will be carried out more smoothly.
Not to mention, there are fertile pastures, countless livestock and farmland surrounding Ujung Pandang, and there are iron mines, a silver mine and a gold mine around the mining caves.
However, the only problem is that although the ownership of the three veins is still in the hands of the Cerverlos, the mining rights have been sold to the Conrad family, which means that Thor has no right to mine.
Until now, the three mines have been guarded by the Conrad family's private soldiers, and the person in charge of the matter has been staying in Ujung Pandangli because Thor has blocked the port.
He was cautious, and he never showed too much arrogance to the unidentified Thor and others, but kept emphasizing how huge the Conrad family standing behind him was.
At this time, Thor was not afraid of the Conrad family, but he was still full of fear.
His forces had just become stable, and if there was a conflict with Worms on the other side of the continent, it would be very disadvantageous to him, so he did not send someone to forcibly occupy the mine, but left it on hold for now, preparing to talk about it later.
In fact, it is not impossible to hand over the mining rights to the Conrad family, but this deal needs to be changed, and Thor is not going to accept the terms of the loss of the Sevellos.
"My lord, when will we lift the ban on Hong Kong, those merchants who are trapped in the city have become more and more impatient, and many people have been looking for me recently, either deliberately revealing what kind of background they have in Wotan, or trying to spend money and bribe me to get them to return to the sea. ”
Diana pursed her lips and exhaled, "It seems that staying in Ujung Pandang has caused them a great loss, and it is no good for us to offend them like this......"
Thor nodded, of course he knew this, so he muttered and said, "Wait a little longer, wait a little more - after our founding ceremony, let them go, after all, the ceremony still needs some audience ......"
