Chapter 223: Counterattack

After the lessons learned from the previous time, the Office was quick to respond. If you have nothing to do, you can make good friends with the salt people, and the amount of salt collected is steadily increasing.

Seeing that the office staff was on the right track, Wayne wrote another article.

"Benchmarking on Mass Work"

It will be interesting to see what kind of waves Wayne's two essays will appear in the Imperial College alongside Muhamsin's writings.

Then again, life at the office is better. The days of the clan became bitter, and the daily salt harvest shrank at a rate visible to the naked eye. The patriarchs of the clan were full of sorrow every day, and they looked around for the elders of other clans to contact each other and discuss solutions. If we don't solve the office now, when their foundation is stabilized, the life of the clan will not be easy.

Not only did the office charge a high price of salt, but what terrified the clan elders was that Wayne was behind the office. If nothing else, Wayne's status as a nobleman and lord was enough to make them fearful. Not to mention that Wayne is not just a simple aristocrat. If contradictions continue to accumulate, they will eventually erupt.

At first, many of the office's tools were missing, but this did not slow down the trend of salt farmers going to the office to sell salt. But until the last moment, you can't be hard, after all, no one can be harder than Wayne.

The clan gritted its teeth and raised the price of salt by one silver coin. I'm going to fight a war of attrition to see if Wayne can survive or the clan can survive.

However, the situation is that even if the price of salt collected by the office is a little higher, it is still profitable. And the entire system of clan representatives has long been bloated, and a slight price increase can collapse the entire system. The Dynasty can only use its former reserves for emergencies. Such a situation is destined for Wayne to be the victorious side.

The root cause of the problem has not been solved. Contradictions are still accumulating. Finally, the fragile surface was torn apart, and magma hidden deep underground erupted.

The trigger was that the salt collectors of the clan (who were originally the children of the clan) came to visit the office, and of course they were not welcome. But it didn't drive away, after all, the surface is still there.

But the members of the clan complained that the staff of the office would not use the scales, and they also came to collect salt.

As a result, the office staff is not a soft egg, and it is a punch to go up. The clash took place, and then the clash came to a fight between the men of both sides.

It stands to reason that it was Wayne's mistake, after all, it was they who made the first move. But this matter is not simply a matter of right and wrong, there is only a difference between victory and defeat in the face of interests.

The conflict spread like a prairie fire, and the salt pans that meandered for thousands of miles were filled with the sound of fighting.

The police were dispatched quickly, but this was only a drop in the bucket for the vast salt works. The news was quickly reported to Evans, and Wayne received the news as soon as possible.

Wayne was waiting for this moment and quickly mobilized the troops in the territory. In just two days, nearly 50,000 people were arrested, and many more slipped through the net.

The defeat of these clans was also expected, but they had to resist. After all, the rice bowl is going to be gone, and if you don't resist, you will have to drink the northwest wind.

The damp and dark cage was full of parents who had not had time to change their prison uniforms, as well as the main personnel of the fight. Due to the large number of people, the usual sheep breeding area had to be emptied to house these people.

After a while, the wounded officers of the office, under the maintenance of the spear-wielding soldiers, came to these cages and pulled out the most brutal and wounded men.

Those members of the Niels family rushed to hear the news, and there were many of their close relatives or old friends. Another group of people came to Wayne and asked Wayne to release him. That would make things difficult, and Wayne didn't want to get into conflict with these family members so early.

So Wayne specially instructed to do things neatly, and there were as many pieces as possible.

In this way, those who were found out did not have time to be sent to a special execution ground. They were beheaded one by one outside, and those who were locked up in prison watched their relatives fall to the ground. Even the staff of the office felt cold fear, and although these people made mistakes, they were not going to cut off their heads. The hostility sensed that they were usually easy to talk to, and the kind Earl of Nils could be so bloody and tyrannical.

According to incomplete statistics, almost 10,000 people died that day. Later, the knives were curled, and the executioner could not cut them when they were so general. The man who had not completely broken his trachea knelt there and convulsed for a while, and the old man in the prison fainted when he saw this scene. Some people say that the worst one took four cuts before it was completely cut off. When the machete slashed for the third time, his head hung down and pressed against his chest.

By the time the Niels family arrived, there was only one corpse left in a different place.

Less than three months after Wayne arrived in the territory, everyone realized that the reason why this smiling young man in his early twenties had such a high status was not only because of his blood and extraordinary ability. He can not only stand up in a once-in-a-century flood, but also order the corpse to float for thousands of miles in an instant. It's a combination of devils and angels.

And Wayne never said that he was a great good man, but only attached to the first impression of being seen in him. Wayne understood better than anyone that the red flag of the revolution was red, red soaked in blood.

After the killing, Wayne also felt that the chattering voices around him laughed a lot and cleared up a lot. Those who are restless are also much more discouraged. Wayne sometimes feels like that's what human nature is, and when you're kind and angry, he thinks you're a bully. It wasn't until you picked up a knife and slashed a few people that he subdued you. But then he said you were too cruel and bloodthirsty. So a cheap word can really describe human nature very well.

After the bloodbath, things in the salt field went much smoother, and the clan immediately canceled the salt collection station. Although Wayne is brutal, the salt people still have to live. Now only the office can collect salt. So for some time, the performance of Niels Salt Company has soared. By eliminating the bloated management system, Wayne was able to earn a lot of gold, and the modern management system brought about significant efficiency gains. It's just that due to the limitations of production tools, the effect is not obvious yet.

And the money earned from salt production was invested in shipbuilding. Now that the shipbuilding industry is supported by Wayne alone, those businessmen still want Wayne to rush ahead and explore the way for them. And Wayne also knows that relying on slogans can't benefit people, so he should be a tool man.

If you look at the whole process, in fact, Wayne didn't pay a penny, in fact, he didn't have much money for the war in order to help the disaster. One wrong step will break Wayne's cash flow, but then he will show his handle. But the whole process is done without any notice. And every step is so steady, it makes people feel that it should be so, but when you look back at the end, you feel that the whole process is so difficult.

The same is true for national players.
