Chapter 166: A Real Scam
The territory of the people is located on the edge of the Akita Plain, and the soil is fertile and suitable for cultivation. The grain here grows three times a year, and it is only because the Akita Plain has stolen the limelight as a major grain-producing area that these fringe areas have not been taken seriously before.
The territory of El and Zach is the main grain producing area, and it will be the grain base of the brothers' territory in the future, and the manpower and seeds are arranged. The seeds of the fruit trees were planted in the territory of the other seven.
Once the seeds were planted, the infrastructure began to be vigorously built.
"In the future, our farmhouse entertainment company will develop towards one-stop service, and we can enjoy everything in our farmhouse. Looking at the scene in full swing in the field, Lovan painted the future for everyone.
"Boss, although you explained it to us for a day at the meeting that day, I still don't quite understand, what is this playground you are talking about?" Wang Xiaosong asked puzzled.
"Oh, it's a big playground for kids and adults. I can't say right now, but you'll know when it's built. Lovan said, "Hey, I feel like we're seriously understaffed right now, El and Zach are almost tired, we have to find a way......"
"Let's go to Dajin City and hire some people. Xia Qiu said.
"Forget it, the money is still used on the blade. Luo Wen shook his head and touched the earth-based magic crystal in his pocket that had been consumed and discarded, poor!
Abandoned earth-based magic crystals......
"There's a way!" Lowen shouted happily as he jumped up and down. Whisper to everyone, and then distribute a lot of discarded magic crystals to everyone.
"Remember, don't let the word go. ”
"Understood. ”
"It's too insidious...... I like it though. ”
Four days later, a rumor circulated in Dajin City that I don't know if it was a rumor: in the new territory of the empire, a large number of magic crystal crushed ore was found on the edge of the boundary river, and no one managed it, and someone had already made a fortune.
There is also a message posted on the advertising board of the Dajin City employment market, but it is not too conspicuous: the Ten Territories of the Boundary River, welcome talents from all walks of life to make great contributions to the frontier cause of the Empire, and have the opportunity to obtain permanent residency and lifetime benefits in the Ten Territories.
Most of the people who saw this recruitment message and went there were mostly those who couldn't get out of Dajin City, and more were orphans and homeless people, thinking about changing places to see if there was hope.
A few days later, Akita Castle welcomed the first treasure hunters, and the deserted Akita Castle finally became lively, and the business of restaurants, inns, and taverns was immediately good. These people inquired in taverns and restaurants, and it turned out that the matter of the magic crystal crushing mine was actually true, inquired about the location, bought tools and headed south.
There is a notice posted at the entrance of each of the seven territories: In view of the fact that a large number of magic crystal crushed ore discovered some time ago has been seriously stolen and excavated, and the newly built territory is unmanned, non-skilled land personnel are specially allowed to dig with a license. And drew an arrow symbol, which means that the front is the issuing office.
When I walked to the issuing office, I was told that I had to pay a gold coin to get a mining permit.
I feel sorry for the money and go back, but I think more about coming here, why not try it. The entrance fee requires one gold coin, which means that you can dig up more than one gold coin. Thinking about it, more people paid the entrance fee honestly.
They can't be honest, the lord of the territory, the new earl of the empire, and the ten people of the elite training program personally charge, dare not say a word?
The territory was large, and seven territories accommodated a thousand people to dig.
Digging three feet into the ground, someone made a discovery.
"Aha! A second-level magic crystal is still complete!" someone couldn't help but shout happily when they found the treasure. Attracting the attention of the others, this man realized that he was too arrogant and quickly sneaked away. The second-level magic crystal is worth one piece of hardware, no wonder he is so happy, this is a lot of money.
One after another, some people dug up the magic crystal crush, and some were even luckier to dig the first and second level of the magic crystal ore, but most people didn't touch the slightest scum.
When it was almost dark, the lords announced that the time was up, and if you want to come tomorrow, please continue to register.
Akita Castle was particularly lively this night, and the taverns and restaurants were all talking about today's harvest.
A man with a loud voice said, "Do you know why there are so many magic crystal crushed mines in these territories?"
Everyone shook their heads, seeing that everyone was looking at them, this man was quite proud, and he enjoyed the feeling of being watched.
"Do you know Jinsha Town on the other side? Our western expeditionary army is to defeat Jinsha Town, because I heard that there is a magic crystal mine under Jinsha Town! So I guess these crushed mines are just a prelude, maybe there are magic crystal mines below. The man took a sip of wine and said.
The crowd was in an uproar, and this explanation was correct, no wonder, those who didn't dig up today have renewed hope, maybe they will dig up the vein tomorrow.
The next day, more people participated in the treasure digging, and the news spread back to Dajin City, attracting more people to come.
However, there is an additional notice at the issuing office today: anyone who has the right to live in the territory will have any magic crystals mined by the individual.
A simple sentence without too much explanation. Want to know better. The lord said that there will be a press conference in Akita Castle in the evening, and the ten territories will be held together, so welcome to be there.
On this day, a few more people became nouveau riche, and many more people dug up some debris. Since someone can dig it, they believe they can dig it too. People are such wonderful creatures, and the adventures that happen to others can happen to themselves.
That night, the city square where the press conference was held was crowded.
Rowan took his brothers to sit on the rostrum, and the brothers of the White Ash Mercenary Regiment were in charge of order.
The amplification technique was turned on, and as soon as Luo Wen spoke, it spread throughout the square, and it suddenly fell silent.
"I'm Count Lowen, the lord of Akita Castle, and here are the lords of the other nine territories of the Boundary River. I'm sure everyone is very concerned about the notice I saw today, and the magic crystals mined by those who have the right to live in the territory are all owned by individuals. This right of residence refers to the right of residence to work or live in the territory for more than one year from the beginning of the application for the right of residence, but it is divided into three years, five years, and permanent according to the length of work and life. ”
Someone below asked, "Lord of the city, can people who have the right of residence dig up magic crystals at will?"
Luo Wen nodded affirmatively: "Of course, whatever you dig, dig the magic crystal ore and count it as yours." ”
The !!uproar sparked a lively discussion, and everyone expressed disbelief.
"Oh, of course, if you dig up the magic crystal mine, you still have to pay taxes to the lord. Rowan said with a smile.
Everyone also laughed, if they really dug up the magic crystal mine, what if they paid some taxes.
