Chapter 52: Reflections
"Smack!" Payne stopped at the counter where the bottles were kept, picking up the wine on the shelf.
Baron Ziluo secretly sighed.
"Your treasure, Lord Baron, is there more than that?" said Payne, sitting at the counter, "six hundred and seventy-two thousand three hundred and twenty pounds of silver, one hundred and thirty pounds of gold, two hundred agate, sixteen emeralds, and some ornaments and spice furs. ”
"Oh, by the way, there's also a golden-topped crown, which is said to have been handed down by your great-grandfather. I won't list all the other luxuries. ”
"Am I right, do you need to make a list for you to see?"
Baron Ziluo seemed to have been struck by lightning, the amount of these treasures was almost the same as the real number, who the other party was, and he would know so much about his situation!
"I beg your pardon for not revealing my true identity to you!" Payne pinched the sides of the mask with his right hand and gently removed it and placed it on the table.
"Hum!" The moment he saw Payne's face clearly, Baron Ziluo's head went blank in an instant.
"It's you!What do you want to do, your purpose is not my money!" Before Baron Ziluo's angry accusation was finished, he felt a chill in his chest, the sharp knight's sword penetrated his chest, and blood flowed down the cold sword blade blood groove, his eyes were full of disbelief, "You...... Dare to murder a nobleman. ”
"Greetings, Lord Lord!" Payne said softly in Ziluo's ear.
"In view of your crimes, Lord Lord's special permission, you do not need to be arrested and returned to the empty ferry to face trial, and you will be killed on the spot!"
"Money, life, I want them all!"
Baron Ziluo felt that his vitality was passing quickly, his eyes were red, his face was fierce, he grabbed Payne's shoulders with a hideous face, and asked bitterly: "Your master, can he bear the charge of murdering nobles? The Holy See will not let him go, he will be tied to the cross and judged!"
"You're too worried!" Payne shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "starting tomorrow, word will spread in the nearby area that the roaming bands of thieves coveted Baron Ziluo's wealth, attacked and killed Baron himself, and plundered his property. ”
"We will remind the residents in the vicinity to take precautions and will step up the pursuit of this gang of thieves. ”
"So, you can take this secret with peace of mind and return to the arms of death. ”
......
When the powerful four-cylinder engine drilling rig is put into work, the output rate of iron ore is greatly increased, and the drill bit made of highly penetrating steel breaks through the rock layer outside the mine, and then the ore is broken up by the robotic arm, and the miners only need to concentrate the fragmented ore to transport it outside the mine, which is both labor-saving and fast.
In the eyes of the miners, this is simply a new era of general invention, this steel machine does not know fatigue at all, only a little fuel and simple control direction, the scythe was fortunate to be chosen as the helm of this machine, which made him nervous for several days, both excited and a little panicked, excited that he would never have to do those laborious handling and mining work in the future, panicked that he was very unfamiliar with this machine that he had never seen before, he was afraid that he would not be able to complete the work that the lord taught him.
But when he actually operated, he found that his concerns were a little redundant, he only needed to control the two vertical rods on the right hand, and when he needed the drill bit to work, he could press the first one down, and when he needed the mechanical arm to work, he could control the second vertical rod and shake it to control the direction.
The power is controlled by the pedal under the foot, when you need to increase the speed of the drill bit, you step on the pedal, this steel machine will let out a manic roar, the speed of the drill bit will increase significantly, no matter how hard the rock, in front of this machine, it is fragile like an eggshell to be easily broken.
It's unbelievable.
In addition to this, the scythe also needs to be careful to add fuel and water to the valve every once in a while, as well as to observe the degree of wear and tear of the ligaments that drive the drill bit, and if there is a gap or crack in the ligament, it needs to be replaced immediately, which is specially instructed by the lord.
Seeing the ore being quickly transported out of the cave, the excitement on the face of the knife and sickle was not only a hint of worry, as the facts show, this kind of machine is several times more efficient than manual mining, and there will be no fatigue or rest time, as long as the fuel is sufficient, it can always work, if this kind of machinery is produced in large quantities, they traditional miners will not lose their jobs because of this?
But after thinking about it, the scythe felt that he didn't need to worry at all, any machinery needed to be operated manually, as long as he firmly grasped the latest technology and continued to learn, then no matter how the air crossing collar developed, he would not be eliminated because of the loss of value.
Rand hadn't noticed that some of his actions had made the residents of the Empty Ferry Territory begin to realize the importance of knowledge and learning.
Rand simply didn't have the energy to care about the minds of the residents and miners, and he was presiding over a verdict.
The ancient gallows were erected overnight on the empty execution ground of the empty collar of the empty ferry collar, and the confused hyena was fixed under the gallows, and the thick and strong hemp rope was knotted into a ring around the hyena's neck, and at the first order of Rand, the rope would be lifted high with the rotation of the gears until the prisoner's feet left the ground.
Prisoners who were hanged often died because their necks could not support the weight of their bodies and their tibia was broken, which was a very gentle punishment compared to other tortures used against prisoners.
For the hyena's ruling, Rand did not hide the news, but issued an announcement, inviting the residents of the empty ferry to visit together, as for whether this move will anger the nobles, it is not in his consideration, anyway, those nobles are usually separated from themselves, not to mention that they forcibly occupied their mines and industries during their refuge, which is an irreconcilable contradiction, and Rand does not care about pouring a little more oil on the fire.
In this regard, Rand would like to thank some of the impending barbarians and beasts, if they hadn't scared the nobles out of the empty realm in a panic, then it would not have been so easy to invade the nobles' mines, and I am afraid that it would not have been possible to do it without a few bloody conflicts.
This stupidity is simply giving away their minerals and fields.
The nobles looked down on Rand too much, and the son of a duke, who had been raised in a greenhouse since he was a young man, would definitely have a scruple about his demeanor, and would not pull down his face and do such a thing as cunning and robbery.
At a young age, how can you fight with us old fritters?
So they left the Empty Realm with peace of mind, so Rand naturally took control of their completely undefended minerals and estates.
