Chapter 241: Elsewhere
Jurahir shuddered.
She was originally turned into a wind chime and hung on the wall, just for a rare break, but who knows...... The big war that broke out soon, but it was still a super war with digital level 9 participating in the war, although it ended quickly, the king of monsters also ran away with the fire djinn, and Crescent Moon and Kara chased the ghost in the mirror all the way away, leaving Yurahir alone in Ellio.
She was the only one who was there, and everyone else ran away, leaving her alone, immersed in a bunch of level 9 aftermath and not daring to move.
After waiting for a while, she found that no one had returned, so she simply changed back and fled cautiously.
After walking for a while, he found that the surrounding desert had turned into magma and melted glass, and only one piece was intact, and Yurahir was convinced, which showed that there was still someone protecting this side.
She hurriedly turned into an energy body and jumped over, the first thing she saw was the activation spell of the three twitters chatting about the topic of guessing and decryption, they glanced at Yurahir, and let go, without paying much attention, and continued to talk on their own, from time to time an interesting puzzle was revealed, and the three little ones laughed together and rolled on the ground.
The ground was full of magma that had not yet solidified, and the leylines that had been uplifted by Carla's thunderous blow from Duke Wald.
She understands the situation of the king of monsters, this Nello is like a dilapidated house, with wind leaking on all sides, and when the wind is strong, the house falls, and the wind villain is scattered.
He had to control the wind so that the people in the house would not think about it and spread out the door, and it would not blow down the broken house.
So he took every step carefully, and a few shots seemed to be aggrieved, but it was the best choice, it would not get too much suspicion, it would not attract more pressure, and it could just disperse some hostility and injuries that the people below could not bear, such as the Gray Lady.
If you want to have fun, of course you can do it, he is full of magic 9, and there is a level 9 demon dragon under his command, if he has no scruples, where can the whole world go? On the Heavenly Plane, who can stop a magic9 with the close protection of a level 9 ancient dragon? If you want to run away, then magic 9 is second, no one dares to say that he is the first, then he can definitely get courtesy anywhere, and the empire that is aggressive to him now will definitely treat him as a guest, because he really can't be provoked.
Suddenly, a big magic smashed a street in the imperial capital, and then immediately teleported and disappeared to leave, how can this be prevented? Even if the emperor has an immortal, it is impossible to stop it, unless the immortal does nothing and wholeheartedly maintains a sword qi cage unchanged for thousands of years, but that is also unacceptable to the empire.
The prestige of the empire outside the country is half of the immortals, and the immortals will only make the enemies of the empire laugh out loud if they do so.
With Jurahir's current information, looking at what the King of Monsters is doing, he can only feel a mess, God knows what kind of interlocking secret schemes he is doing, such as letting that Sid come over this time, and deliberately falling out with Duke Wald, what kind of idea is this?
Just thinking about it makes her feel terrified.
Could it be ...... He wants to overthrow the empire?
This idea was dispelled by her as soon as it came to mind, how could it be? The empire has stood for thousands of years, and its strength, finance, and manpower are ten thousand times that of the king of monsters, and it is impossible for any reasonable person to do this.
Perhaps, it's better to find a way for the monster to survive, although the road ahead is destined to die.
This road, there is no head, no light, not even the road.
Walking further into the safe area, Yurahir's legs went limp, as she saw a blonde woman with big breasts, who was waiting for Yurahir to come with some young students. glanced at her, but didn't stop her.
Of course, she didn't dare to talk, and walked quickly inside.
Holy Dragon Elaine.
The Heavenly Apostle was terrified, and the purpose of the King of Monsters became more and more confused, and even saw Elaine, so she ...... Can you still get out? The church doesn't do anything to suppress it? Or is it that the king of monsters is actually standing behind the church, which sings a double reed? Is he a member of the church? Are you self-defeating?
Not daring to think about it, she walked further in, and suddenly heard someone calling her.
Subconsciously, she didn't react herself, she suddenly quickened her pace, and walked to a place where no one was around, there was a big stone, standing in the magma, but it was kept at room temperature, sitting on it alone, and then the magma fire boiled water.
Boil a pot of water, looks ordinary, but looks young, with a red vest on the upper body, trousers and leather shoes underneath, and looks like a night housekeeper.
He looked at Yurahir with a smile: "Little Light Spirit, don't come to harm?" Remember me? ”
Yurahir woke up like a dream, and all the previous muddy nightmares disappeared, like a basin of cold water poured on top of his head, and he was next to the magma, but it was not hot at all, and he only felt that his hands and feet were cold, like falling into an ice cave, and his heart was so worried that he didn't dare to say more.
Clan of the Night - "Elders".
——————————————
The Duchy of Aurang, which is located in the inland mountainous area, is the territory of the Grand Duke of Aulang, surrounded by other kingdoms, and is considered an overseas enclave of the empire, but similar to the kingdoms, it has long been separated from the empire and has its own faction.
Hollando, with many mineral veins and water, is rich in all kinds of potions and medicinal materials, which was difficult to develop in the past, because there are many mountains and few roads, even if the resources are abundant, it is difficult to exploit, but hundreds of years ago, the magic technology promoted by the great mentor Daedalus gradually developed, so that the cost of mountain construction and road construction, collection and planting has been greatly reduced, and the original rich products can be exploited explosively, so that many forces here have made a lot of money.
For example, a vein under the Hall of Glow is located at the foot of a mountain called Iron Mountain, and there is a city here, leaning on the Iron Mountain, so the name is Iron Mountain City, and the ownership of the vein is a subordinate of the Iron Mountain City Branch of the Aurang Branch of the Headquarters of the Hall of Glow Hall, a chamber of commerce called Golden Bell.
This chamber of commerce is not small, with hundreds of employees, more than a dozen managers, and the right to mine three ore veins, two iron mines, and one copper mine.
Most of the employees are miners, a small number are transport chariot and horse masters, and the management personnel are assigned by the Glow Hall.
This kind of dependent chamber of commerce is more like a subsidiary, in fact, it is quite common, Jurahir had at least one or two hundred such small chambers of commerce in his hands, and all aspects were involved in the livelihood operation of Larante, so that he could control half of Larante's business operations.
And now, the miners of this small chamber of commerce are not working.
In the past, this was impossible, and miners were all year round, except for illness or emergency, but now it is different.
Because there was a new leader, named Kesto, he was a new rich merchant, with some gold and manpower, from far away, I heard that it was from Xingfeng's side.
As soon as he arrived, he built a workshop, under which he had several craftsmen and craftsmen, and the others were all good hands, and he also mastered a very efficient stove, and he made iron very quickly, and as soon as he came, he started the business.
Because there are many mines in Iron Mountain City, but many of them can only be sold at a low price, because there are too many, the price will of course be much lower, and Iron Mountain City's own smelting workshop can't keep up with the production capacity of ore at all, instead of piling up, it is better to sell it to the caravan of those chambers of commerce at a low price and transport it to other places for sale.
Therefore, this group of professional craftsmen came here, and soon their business flourished and they made a lot of money.
Then, with the money they earned and the money they brought themselves, they bought a small chamber of commerce, and the price quoted by the Hall of Glow was at a premium, and it took Kesto a lot of time to cut the price a little, but fortunately, he finally bought it.
After buying it, the first thing this wealthy businessman named Kesto did was to improve welfare.
Miners work a lot less time, they only need to work a whole day a day, and they don't even need to mine at night, but can go to sleep beautifully.
And you no longer need to bring your own food, you can eat it in a mine, and you will have fresh bread and meat every day! These tired workers who mine every day can be fed, so that they can feel full and their bodies are no longer weak.
Immediately afterwards, Kesto adjusted the salary system, replacing the original daily salary with a piecework system, and paying according to the method of 6 copper plates per kilogram of high-quality iron ore.
Even every five days, they take a day to rest, and when they rest, they go to a place.
There is no specific name there, if you have to say the name, they all call themselves federations, here, organize all workers to learn cultural knowledge, and even organize them to carry out physical exercises, take one day a week out to read books and newspapers, learn to play balls and games, enrich their spiritual life, and take care of a day's food!
I don't want anything else, just a day's meal, and it's enough for them all to flock here.
Moreover, there are a number of wounded and disabled people here, and the Federation under Kesto also serves as part of the hospital, where people who have been injured in mining or iron smelting can rest, and there are no doctors or nurses here, because there is not so much money, but there are bright windows and clean beds, as well as some common medicines and clean water, which can prevent wounds from becoming infected as much as possible, and greatly reduce the mortality rate of workers.
In the past, one or two people in the mine would die of exhaustion or illness every week, but now this is all gone.
Of course, this has increased a lot of costs, not only costs, but all kinds of expenses have increased a lot, but Kesto can still operate smoothly, and even begin to expand!
After sleeping well, eating well, and having a place to recuperate if they were injured, and working more and taking more, this time, the miners under his command were all on fire.
In the past, no matter how much they worked, they could only get that little pay, and they were so tired and hungry that they couldn't speed up if they wanted to, so they could only rely on the whips of the overseers to barely keep themselves from slacking off.
But now, they are well fed, they sleep well, they are more energetic to work, and they have just changed to piecework wages, and the more they work, the more they will be paid!
This has led to an increase in production from 9 tons to 70 to 80 tons per day! For other veins, the standard quota for a day is about ten tons, and according to the current market price, the selling price of 100 tons is about 20 Emperor Gold Coins, and the cost paid, including management costs and all kinds of food, is only 580 Aurang silver coins, about 11 Emperor Gold Coins! The rest is profit!
That's a day's yield! One day's profit! A miner can get three to four Silver Orange coins a day!
In fact, the average weekly wage of miners in the Minnuo mining area is only about 10 silver coins, and the output is far from enough, which shows that the output of Kesto's veins in a short period of time far exceeds the output that other ordinary miners can complete in one day!
This is not the real profit, that is, after the iron ore is mined, Kesto does not take it out and sells it, and takes it back to his own workshop, and those craftsmen will process the ore into fine iron!
The price of refined iron is much higher than that of iron ore!
He had already made a lot of money just by selling this fine iron. Iron ore is a raw material, and refined iron is a high value-added product, which is worth more than selling ore, and other people know this, but they don't have the energy of a blast furnace that can replace the professional.
And all this, still unknown, other chambers of commerce and mine owners are laughing at this Kesto in private, there is not much money, but the heart is quite big, to improve the living conditions of those mud legs, tsk, with this money, is it not good to buy yourself two clothes? At the end of the day, it will cost hundreds of silver coins more, which is not a small amount in a year!
Kestor didn't defend anything, because he knew that there was no need, and he had learned enough in Larante's workshop and in Star Maple King's workshop.
It's like what the King of Monsters used to say to them, to the miners, to the craftsmen.
The king of monsters who set up this workshop said that they used to be cattle and horses, but now they are people.
To others, Kestow was a fool who used his own money to make those workers live a good life, stupid, but Kestow remembered that the King of Monsters also said-
The merchants, the nobles, did not earn their own money, they just robbed the laborers of their money.
So he didn't think that all the money was his own money, he just had a different division of labor, and he spent all the money he earned except for the necessary savings and the necessary interpersonal contacts for the business, and he spent it on the workers themselves, improving their food, medical care, and lodging.
That's all.
To this day, Kesto felt that resigning from the bookstore and working as a clerk in that workshop was the most correct thing he had ever done.
It was there that he finally understood why the poor worked so hard and miserable.
Before, whether he read books or listened to the nobles and rich people, there was only one answer, the poor are stupid and lazy, so they should be poor.
And the money of the rich is also earned by the rich themselves through hard work and wisdom, who feels unconvinced, they can also earn it!
He had felt that there was something wrong with it before, but it was in that workshop that he knew the answer, and how shameless and vicious the rich man who said such things was!
And now, Caesto wants to spread this answer to these workers, just as others taught him in the first place.
Thinking of this, Kesto asked the group of big men below, "Have you learned to write these words?" Read it to me again, Gong, Ping! ”
