Chapter 287: City Hall

He ordered the head of Black Rock Village, the head of Songlin Village, and the head of Amber Village.

Blackstone Fort was originally the territory of Bolton Tass, and after his Blackstone Fort was captured by Chen Xiao, the chief steward was killed, Bolton was imprisoned, and the financial staff of Blackstone Fort was also dismissed by Chen Xiao.

During this time, Chen Xiao did not make any moves against the territory except for letting Odoru garrison.

In fact, the residents of Blackstone Fort are still quite panicked.

Every day is like a year, afraid that the new lord will squeeze them fancifully.

The territory changes hands, and the empire has to pay double the tax in the first year, and in the end, they have to pay the bill.

This year, because of the passage of locusts, the harvest was not very good, and now they have to pay double or even more taxes, and they will not be able to survive this winter.

Looking at the panicked village chiefs below, Chen Xiao's face was neither salty nor light, and he was extremely calm.

Field, the head of Black Rock Village, is now an honorable coal digger for the Coal Mining Company.

He still had a swarthy face, apparently just coming out of the coal mine.

Although the environment is a little worse, the salary given by Chen Xiao is still very high.

As long as he digs a little more coal, he can get a little more reward, he can buy food and clothing, and save it, so that the lonely old people and children in the village can survive this winter.

As for the chiefs of Amber Village and Pine Forest Village, you can tell from their clothes that these two people are living well.

After all, Songlin Village and Amber Village, which have specialties, have their own small docks where they can be transported and sold elsewhere.

This is the village's largest source of income.

Amber and rosin are both spices favored by the aristocracy and wealthy, and are in great demand.

Chen Xiao tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes wandering over the three of Field.

Field's expression was calm, and his eyes were very straightforward, he didn't like Chen Xiao, because Chen Xiao had previously arranged and robbed their village, and his methods were a little despicable, but Chen Xiao exposed Lord Bolton's conspiracy and saved the entire village, and Field had to admit it.

So, Field's mood is quite mixed.

In addition, during these days, Field witnessed a great change in Black Rock Village every day, and the villagers received preferential treatment from Chen Xiao, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

Delphi's mood was even more complicated.

"Village Chief Field, why did you go mining?" Chen Xiao suddenly said, "I was negligent. From now on, you don't have to mine......"

Chen Xiao's pause suddenly startled Field.

He felt that there was nothing wrong with mining, and that he could earn a salary, which was much easier than hunting.

"My lord, did I do something wrong?"

Field clenched his fists, thinking that Chen Xiao would definitely settle accounts after the autumn and kill them all.

Seeing this, the two village chiefs were also terrified, lest Chen Xiao would trouble them.

"I now appoint you as the chief engineer of the coal mine, responsible for the safety of the mine and the supervision of the work of the workers. ”

Chen Xiao said in a steady tone.

Lux, who was beside him, was called to take charge of Chen Xiao's safety.

Lux can be said to have watched Chen Xiao come step by step, although she lost her memory in the early stage and had no impression, but these days, she does feel a little different from Chen Xiao.

It's a leadership temperament that's becoming more and more mature.

When he sits and looks like this, his gestures will hook people's hearts and make people focus on him.

Speaking of words, there is also a kind of majesty and aura that is not angry and self-assured, which is not to be underestimated.

Field still wanted to fight for it and continue to be his coal digger, but he didn't expect Chen Xiao to appoint him as an overseer......

Field wondered if he had misheard.

"My lord, did I hear me right?" said Field, confused.

The corners of Chen Xiao's mouth curled up slightly, "Don't be nervous." You heard it right. I will then post the announcement and the letter of appointment. ”

"Monitoring workers is not asking you to keep working, but paying attention to the various situations that occur in their work and solving problems for them. Coal mine safety is also a top priority, and it is related to the safety of workers. In other words, the responsibility for the safety of the lives of the villagers in Black Rock Village is on you. ”

"Would you like to be this overseer?"

Field knelt down at once, crossed his hands over his chest, and said in an excited tone, "Thank you, sir." The villain is willing. I am willing to serve your lordship. ”

Field felt he had made the right choice.

Because in this way, he can protect the villagers and make their lives better.

Chen Xiao nodded and looked at the village chiefs of Amber Village and Songlin Village, both of whom were middle-aged and fat, with fat bellies, big bellies, beards on their cheeks, and they were brighter than their hair when they were touched with sesame oil.

"Which of you is Ralph and which one is Tahoe?"

The man in the yellow robe stepped forward and said in a respectful tone: "My lord, the villain Taihe, the village chief of Amber Village. ”

"Ralph, the villain, the chief of Pinewood. ”

Another man in a green robe continued Tahoe.

Chen Xiao nodded, and asked them to report on the situation in their village.

These two people are old fritters, and they have been spitting bitter water, and Chen Xiao's ears are calloused when he hears it.

He hurriedly stopped these two words and continued, going straight to the point: "Now I am the lord, and from today onwards, all the land in your two villages will be recovered, and I will dispatch it." ”

The lord is the owner of this land, and it is understandable that he wants to recover the land, and these villagers are actually some hired farmers who depend on the lord, even the village chief.

Ralph and Taihe's faces suddenly changed greatly, and they quickly knelt down and begged Chen Xiao with a panicked face: "My lord, you are tantamount to letting all our villagers die." You can't do that. ”

Chen Xiao is now engaged in industrial development and construction, just like the Great Leap Forward at that time, and he needs to gather all his strength to engage in production.

Like Amber Village and Songlin Village, which are rich in resources, but still half-dead, it is simply unreasonable and tyrannical.

If Chen Xiao doesn't take over the development, he will be punished by God.

Chen Xiao grinned, revealing a demonic smile: "I need you to do pacification work, I will set up farms and forest farms, hire villagers, and pay you a salary every month, which is definitely higher than your current income." ”

"If the villagers have any objections or want to rebel against me, I don't mind throwing you into the River. ”

This was said so righteously that Ralph and Tahoe looked bitter and almost cried.

Chen Xiao asked him to cooperate with his work under pressure, didn't Chen Xiao think about whether they would be torn apart by the villagers?

In the end, Ralph and Tahoe walked out of the "town hall" with Chen Xiao's letter of appointment and the share contract protocol.

They all glanced back at the plaster-white, plastered square building.

The building is square, without beauty or art, and is dwarfed by the castle towers with carved railings and eaves and corners.

But they all shuddered in unison.

The layout of this town hall is really appalling.

Hosted by the leader.

Office of the Political Commissar.

Economic Development Office.

Social Affairs Office.

Agricultural Technology Office.

Cultural service station.

What the hell are these?

But it always feels very tall.

They knew that this would be the center of all the authorities in the realm.
