Chapter 67 High Wages

In the cave in the center of Emerald Ridge!

Nagadora, Medusa Boss Ivy, Piggmaru, Venetian Rat Man Hawkins, Belpi Bear!

It can be regarded as the core lineup of Emerald Ridge, all smiling and sipping hot tea, with the increase in income in the tunnel, the food in Emerald Ridge has improved a lot.

Although there is no guarantee that there will be enough meat for each meal, it is at least much stronger than the days when there was not enough to eat before, and the merchants from the human race to the beast clan will sell some grain to Emerald Ridge.

It's been a month since the last merchant unrest, Ivy is in charge of the revenue management of the entire Emerald Ridge, Gergmaru and the two Pigs are in charge of the Smai Station, and Hawkins is nervously training the maintenance workers of the underground tunnels, and as the tunnels lengthen along the route, Li Zhenshu needs enough labor to keep the tunnels up and running.

Li Zhen sat quietly at the table, everyone was surprisingly excited, "Okay, let's start, Ivy, you give everyone a brief report on the situation of the territory!"

Ivy cleared her throat, she was the first to follow Li Zhenshu to establish Emerald Ridge, she has a pivotal position, and some people even speculate that Ivy may become the future housewife.

"Boss, there are not too many recruits in the territory these days, Pig's population is kept at 1,000, Medusa is breeding well, it is about to exceed 100, 300 Venetian rat people, as for Bell, there are only a dozen, and the rest are all employment relationships!"

Li Zhenshuo estimated in his heart, these horses were still hastily recruited when the Emerald Ridge was just established, as for the opening of the tunnel, no slaves were ever purchased, nor did they recruit people, and most of the labor for the construction of the tunnel was hired in the slave market at Smai Station.

This is also one of the fundamental reasons why the relationship between Lao Li and Smaicheng has eased.

"Well, what about the others!"

Ivy forcibly controlled the excitement in her heart, "The rest is the income of the territory, on the whole, it comes entirely from the tunnel, there have been eight hijackings in the tunnel this month, in addition to compensation, we have a total income of 36,300 gold hooves." ”

"How much?", although Xiong Ba knew that the income of the tunnel was terrifying, but when he heard this exact number, he couldn't help but shout, thirty-six thousand, these are all golden hooves, you must know that the monthly expenses of their Bell clan are almost that.

Intuitively, the income from this tunnel alone can feed a tribe of Bell warriors of almost 5,000 people.

After a short period of excitement, Ivy sighed slightly, "However, according to our agreement, thirty percent of them will be handed over to each transfer station, these golden hoof bosses you have signed, each transfer station can probably get two thousand golden hooves!", said here, but a little distressed, two thousand, two thousand coppers used to squeeze between the teeth, and now two thousand golden hooves are thrown out like this, which is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of coppers.

"One-third is used for the maintenance and employment costs of the tunnel, and the second is the salary of the service personnel at each transfer station!", Ivy glanced at Li Zhenshu, "Boss, do you really plan to set the salaries of those personnel so high?"

Li Zhenshuo didn't reply, and at the mage transfer station closest to Stormwind City, on the top floor of the tall shop, more than fifty young mage apprentices were looking eagerly at a pig in the center.

In the past, they didn't even look at such a pig, but now, it is the day when they receive their first monthly salary.

Although they belong to the Wandering Mage Bandit Group, all their expenses at the transit station are directly responsible for by Emerald Ridge.

Naru looked at these enthusiastic mage apprentices, and as a Pig, he would not have been able to enjoy this kind of treatment if it weren't for this special opportunity.

He cleared his throat and looked at the old mage on the side, "Your Excellency, I greet you on behalf of the boss, and I will pay the salary by Nalu, I don't know what instructions you have." ”

As the head of the bandit who is an exiled mage, he still has the nobility of a mage in his bones, and he simply nodded without saying half a word.

Naru didn't mind and pulled out a list, "Kane, fifty silver coins!"

"How much?", the exiled mage squinted his eyes and suddenly opened, his eyes widened, thinking that he had misheard, these mage apprentices abound in his bandit tribe, and they can eat at most in the wasteland after a month, and the few remaining coppers can buy some apprenticeship supplies from Stormwind City.

Apprentices and mages are completely different, just like mages and holy orders, there is a chasm that cannot be bridged.

Almost everyone is qualified to become an apprentice, and the bandit tribe unceremoniously allows everyone to learn rudimentary spells, and these apprentices can't even cast magic.

In the eyes of the mage bandit leader, those who enter the transit station to guard are the most useless to their bandit group.

But now, fifty silver coins at once, Kane, he has the impression that the recently recruited ones seem to only be able to meditate simply, and it will take at least two years to successfully release the small fireball.

Fifty silver coins, except for those core disciples in the bandit group who have such control, the rest of the people are at most dozens of copper a month.

"Lord Pig, are you really right?"

Narumun looked at the old mage and handed over the parchment, "That's right, that's how the roster given by the boss is recorded. ”

The mage head glanced at Caesar, fifty silver coins, Roland, fifty-three gold and silver coins, Madeli, fifty-six silver coins, and a series of looks, the minimum was fifty silver coins, and the highest had broken through sixty, reaching sixty-five.

Rocky, sixty-five silver coins!

He had the impression that this Rocky seemed to be in charge of the transfer of vehicles in the transfer station, and there were at least two hundred people in the long list, and according to the conversion of one golden hoof of one hundred silver coins, the wages of these people alone would cost almost more than a hundred golden hooves.

You must know that some of these people are simply taking care of the animal fence, some are standing guard at the door of the shop, even if the hardest is only to go to a certain tunnel section for maintenance.

The old mage is a little wooden, could it be that the world has changed and he is outdated.

"Your Excellency, can I continue?"

"Of course!", the old mage embarrassedly handed over the list, watching Pige next to him distribute the bags that had been packed one by one, and inexplicably felt a little more curious about the dark humans thousands of miles away.

Although he had only met briefly, he had never taken the owner of this Jade Ridge to heart, at most he was a reckless man who rose from the wasteland.

But now, the generosity of the shot made him all tempted, although he had already received two thousand golden hooves from the Emerald Ridge, but he would never distribute these things to his subordinates like this.

He's a mage, but he's a robber!

The same scene played out at every transit station, and not only the bandit leaders did not believe it, but even the workers could not believe it.

"Fifty silver coins, a month?"

Look at the round silver coins in the cloth bag that shimmer with a silver sheen, this round cargo passed down from the Terrans is the common currency of every race.

"These silver coins are enough for me to eat meat for a year!"

"With these silver coins, who still eats meat, I want to buy some rum to drink, although it is a little expensive, I can drink three times a month. ”

"I really didn't expect Jade Ridge to be so generous, when the group asked people to come, they didn't want to come, so I didn't have the ability to forcibly lift me over, I really didn't expect it, it's a fat difference!"

"Me too, my cousin was originally decided, but he had to find the head of the regiment, so he replaced me, damn, I was still holding my breath at that time!"

The news that these personnel stationed at the transit station were getting high wages instantly became popular in various tribes, and there were even a few girls who directly bought an orc.

Although it is not superior, for these ordinary robbers, it is definitely a celebration to be able to have their own mother-in-law.

In every tribe, there are a few people who have happy wine in the past few days, and these little robbers, who usually have low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, suddenly become angry.

Good meat, wine, enough food!

It's only the first month, and the popularity of this tunnel is even more terrifying than expected, and the caravans that come in and out of the tunnel every day, fools know that Emerald Ridge can definitely pay them this high salary.

"Damn, it's not fair, why can't you be such a fat man!"

"Isn't it just to watch the door, Lao Tzu has lost his head with the ball!"

The threshold of these dumplings has almost been broken by the minions under their command, and no matter what, they have to go to the transit station.

Fifty silver coins!

In the wasteland, fifty silver coins they dare to carry their heads desperately!

However, there was no way, Li Zhenshu directly issued a statement, the population configuration of each transfer station is the same, and there will be no too much addition.

As a result, the competition for the quota of the transfer station became more and more intense, anyway, Lao Li only gave 200 places, as for who guarded it, this was the matter of the robber leader.

There is only one requirement for him, each transfer station must be unified with Emerald Ridge, and there can be no mistakes.
