Chapter 0031 Labor Reform
In the sun, someone spoke.
"The five of you take people to the mines, don't let them run away, they are all Diao Min, and these gangs are still suppressing Diao Min. Kent's voice.
"Yes, Captain, we promise to keep them sealed inside, and none of them will get out. Bucklet replied.
"Stay on the seashore, don't let the people steal the iron ore. ”
"Yes, captain, whoever steals a piece of ore will chop off one hand and make an example. Jared replied, "I promise that there will be no less piece." ”
The first step of the iron ore trade was taken today, and the blacksmith Golov arranged for nearly fifty people to enter the mine, and Marlowe took the people to the seaside.
Eighteen guards were divided into three teams, one team followed Captain Kent to guard the castle to protect Elwin, one group of guards guarded the entrance to the cave and guarded the prisoners who escaped, and the other team was stationed on the beach to guard the iron ore from theft.
Everyone had arrived, and Alvin was still in bed, and he was so excited yesterday that he fell asleep when it was almost dawn, but when he woke up, the sun was getting high.
Pull back the curtains and the sun is dazzling.
took the towel handed by Alyssa and wiped his face and rushed down, the guards saluted, and the fishermen restrained their lazy and lazy appearances, and said one after another:
"Ah...... Lord!"
"Your Excellency is here!"
"Lord!"
"Bow when you see your lord!" Kent roared.
So, the uneducated fishermen bowed sparsely, straightened their waists, and Marlowe touched his beard and smiled faintly: "Lord Lord, if you were born in Salted Fish Town, if you were so lazy, you would have starved to death a long time ago." ”
"No matter how diligent the salted fish is, it is also a salted fish, if there is no dream, it will never be able to turn over. Alvin laughed, "Mr. Marlowe, do you have any thoughts of turning over, or are you willing to be a salted fish?"
"Only those who lie in bed and dream sweetly have dreams, and those of us who are poor and dare not sleep have any qualifications to talk about dreams. Marlowe snorted coldly, stepped aside, and got out of the way, "Hurry up and make arrangements, lord, everyone is waiting to earn your bronze dragon." ”
Alvin inspected the hard labor of the Salted Fish Gang, everyone in shackles on their hands and feet, and moved as a long noise: "You guys, go into the pit and work hard......"
“...... My lord, rest assured, we will do our best to repay the kindness of the adult. "A skinny guy preemptively expresses the center.
"Don't believe him, he's a sycophant, he talks about people when he sees people, he talks nonsense when he sees him, and when he sees the lord running with his mouth full of horses, none of them are true. Jarrett revealed, and several fishermen immediately chimed in.
The man looked embarrassed and stepped back.
The people of the Salted Fish Gang are almost inseparable from the fishermen, this sentence is like a slap in the face to the man, wanting to retaliate, but finding that the other party is more fierce, this idea can only be hidden in the heart, gritting teeth, not daring to take action.
Erwin stood on a high place and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "You are all prisoners, three years of hard labor is a punishment for you for offending the master, but the work is not done in vain, for every hundred Lan catties mined, a flying dragon." ”
The crowd was in a commotion.
Not only did the slave prisoners look confused and exchanged their heads, but the fishermen were also shocked and whispered.
"It's so easy to make money, I want to go into the mines. Marlowe's tone was sour.
"My lord, you don't have to pay, you can just take care of the food. Kent reminded in a low voice, "The amount of mining per person is not up to the amount of food, and if you dare to make trouble, you will be killed." ”
Don't treat hard labor and slaves as human beings, punches, kicks, whips, cut off hands and feet, cut off heads, this world is like this, and it is not the captain of the guard who is more ferocious, this is the common practice of Farowan.
However, Alven has limited human resources at hand, and killing one less one, especially the mine where no one wants to enter, every death is a big loss, so naturally he can't let the guards kill him so generously.
Alwyn motioned to the captain of the guard to step back: "Food and water must be bought with the bronze dragon you earn, and the excess is your own, but if you can't earn it, you won't have anything to eat." ”
The captain of the guard nodded, feeling that the reminder had worked, but things were more complicated than expected, it seemed to be effective, and it didn't seem to be like that, the young lord's method seemed to be more clever, but where the mastery was, he couldn't tell.
"It doesn't matter whose money belongs to you. ”
"Of course there will be no such good thing to deceive us into selling our lives. ”
The laborers were skeptical. The fishermen also did not believe in such a good thing, and muttered to each other.
"I only need a copper dragon for a meal, and I can dig a thousand catties of ore a day. The strong man at the front said coldly.
"Congratulations, after deducting three or four copper dragons, they are all earned, and the salary is settled every day, and you can entrust relatives and friends to come and pick them up. Alvin shouted.
"You can't move, do you?" said Jarrett, confused.
Pay for hard labor, this young lord has a lot of money and nowhere to spend it?
"It's called, labor reform. Alvin uttered a word that was unfamiliar to the whole world, "The unique method of hard labor in our Silver Sand Collar is simply that you can earn money by doing hard labor. ”
Everyone silently repeated, everyone looks at me, and no one wants to understand what labor reform is.
"Hard labor is hard labor, let them work hard, what is it that labor reform is more effective than a chain whip?" Marlow quipped, "so easy to make money, I want to jump into the mine." ”
"Are you sure?" Alvin asked with a sincere expression, "I'll give you a seat." ”
"Oh, forget it. Marlowe waved back.
Marlowe made a joke, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere eased somewhat.
"People outside, transport ore to the seaside, one copper dragon per ten catties, can be settled on the spot. ”
This price is not low, but it causes a lot of commotion, and it also calms the imbalance in the hearts of the laborers who earn a small amount of money.
"One hundred pounds at a time is ten bronze dragons, one trip in the morning, one trip in the afternoon, twenty bronze dragons?" asked Jarrett exclaimed.
"Plus a trip in the evening, thirty bronze dragons. Someone added.
"Walking on the mountain road at night, you are crazy, what should you do if you encounter wild people or monsters?"
Everyone looked at Alvin quietly, and the young lord nodded with satisfaction, this is right, to encourage everyone to work more, it is naturally a benefit, if you use whips and shackles, it is impossible for someone to produce a thousand catties of iron ore a day, and no one is willing to risk walking at night.
"At night, the knight will break the queen for everyone, and the wild man or the monster will be dealt with by them, but be careful when walking at night, come on, the master of the skill is here to congratulate everyone in advance on their fortune. ”
"Let's go!"
With a powerful wave of his arm, Golov, the blacksmith in front, went out of the gate.
Alvin summoned several of the guards who were about to mount and bowed his head and whispered for a moment.
Several people were a little surprised when they heard this, but they all bowed their heads and obeyed the order.
Before breakfast, Alwin's stomach growled, and he climbed up the third floor, while the fishermen and laborers lined up for the mountain.
Everyone has a longing for the bronze dragon, and so does Alwin.
If the iron ore business can be done, the silver sand lord will have a future, and the salted fish lord will have the hope of turning over.
