The hot days are still going on, and in the blink of an eye, it's the middle of August.

On this day, several workshops of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were full of joy, and almost everyone had a smile on their faces.

As for the reason, it's simple, because today is the day of paychecks.

According to the rules set by Xu Yi when he founded the factory, the fifteenth day of each month is a fixed payday, and this time it is just over a month since the establishment of the factory, which is the first time that the salary is paid seriously, so it is naturally very formal and even grand.

Sebas came to the factory early and handed over his statistics of last month's financial situation to Xu Yi and Heinze.

Xu Yi has always believed that there is no doubt in employing people, and suspects do not need to use them, and he only skimmed the financial statements and did not care much, but Heinze carefully reviewed them several times from beginning to end, and almost any number had to be verified by Sebas before he let it go.

Xu was also a little helpless about Heinze's behavior, but he did not object.

As the third largest shareholder in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce after himself and Viscount Leslie, Heinze has enough qualifications and reasons to do so, and having him supervise and inspect for himself also saves Xu Yi a lot of energy.

The tense and excited morning passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was noon, and all the employees in the two production workshops gathered together and began to line up one by one to receive their own salaries.

The first to step forward was the dwarf Camby.

As the workshop director of the production and research workshop of the magic machine tool, Camby's salary is of course more than that of other dwarves, and it belongs to the same grade as Heinze, tentatively set at twenty gold coins per month.

Next up was Alex.

As Heinze's assistant, Alex's salary was ten gold coins, which was slightly more than the average worker.

Then there were the other dwarves except for the Canby.

Aside from a few dwarves who were affected by trivial matters or illness, the remaining dwarves each received a full monthly salary of eight gold coins.

When they opened the money bag handed by Sebas and found that it contained eight glittering gold coins, the dwarves all smiled, and some of them even danced excitedly on the spot.

As Master Lanu lamented, the dwarves were living in a very difficult situation, and when they lived in the tribe before, although they were not hungry, they were very poor in all kinds of necessities except for the wine, which could be brewed and enjoyed at will.

After coming to this factory and starting to work, not only did the factory take care of their food and lodging, so that they didn't have to worry about life at all, but now they can get a full eight gold coins every month!

Although eight gold coins is not a lot, it can buy a lot of much-needed supplies, and if you take them back to the tribe, it will be enough to make the lives of their parents, wives and children better.

Thinking of the happy smiling faces of their families after getting those things, the hearts of these rectal dwarves were suddenly filled with happiness.

Thinking that this kind of life can only be enjoyed after joining this factory, the dwarves looked at Xu Yi with even more gratitude and respect.

Compared to the dwarves, the students hired from Baron Rickto's Academy of Magic were paid a little less, with only five to six gold coins.

The reason why they have such a salary is because they are still students, so their working hours are limited every day, which is naturally not as good as the dwarves who work in the magic machine shop all day.

The second reason is that their job is simply to draw a magic array, although it has anything to do with magic, but to put it bluntly, it is just a simple repetitive work, the technical content is not high, and the salary is naturally not high.

Xu Yi was a little worried at first that these students would be a little unbalanced when they saw that other people's salaries were higher than their own, but after these students got their salaries, they all showed extremely happy looks, and there was no dissatisfaction at all.

Even Orin, a boy from an aristocratic family, smiled crookedly at his salary of six gold coins, as if it was not six gold coins, but six hundred gold coins.

Xu Yi thought about it and couldn't help laughing.

In fact, the students' reaction was not wrong, they were only students who were still studying at the academy, and they were pleasantly surprised to be able to get a salary for their own work.

What's more, five or six gold coins is actually quite a lot for them, and you must know that the tuition fee for a semester at Baron Rickto's Magic Academy is only twenty-five gold coins.

This means that as long as they keep going, these students can even afford to pay for their tuition entirely on their own.

For these students, most of whom are still children from ordinary or even poor families, it will reduce the burden on their families, and their parents must be very satisfied when they know about it.

After the salaries paid to the students, there was actually a part of the workers who were not paid, and that was the hundred slaves.

However, the payment of the salaries of these 100 slaves really bothered Xu Yi for a while.

According to the general principle, since these slaves worked in the factory, it was natural that they should be paid salaries, but slaves are slaves after all, no matter how unwilling Xu Yi is to accept this fact, he has to admit that slaves have no status in the Sainz continent, and under normal circumstances, no one will agree to pay slaves as well.

The more important reason is that the current ownership of these slaves is still in the hands of Viscount Leslie, and Xu is only borrowing.

Even if Xu Yi pays them salaries, it should be handed over to Viscount Leslie, and whether Viscount Leslie is willing to pay these slaves depends on whether he is happy or not.

So Xu Yi and Heinze discussed for a long time in front of Sebas, and finally decided not to give money to these slaves, but to give welfare subsidies instead.

In view of the fact that it was still a hot summer, Xu Yi gave each slave a second-generation variable-speed magic fan, and each of them was given a clothing voucher for the Mehtagan tailor shop in Bangta City, with which the slaves could make a custom set of clothes at the Mehtagan tailor shop for a total price of no more than one gold coin.

In addition, there are some meat and fruits, and some messy daily necessities.

All the welfare subsidies are worth about four gold coins when they are combined.

Originally, according to Xu Yi's actual thoughts, the value of the work of these slaves should have been at least six gold coins per month, so the welfare subsidy should be more, but this idea was stopped by Heinze.

In any case, these slaves still belong to Viscount Leslie, and if Xu Yi gives them too many benefits, it is inevitable that Viscount Leslie will have some special thoughts in his heart.

Even if it's just these welfare subsidies that Xu Yi thinks are very simple now, they are actually quite taboo.

These slaves watched the dwarves and the students receive their salaries, and although they were very envious in their hearts, they knew that it was impossible for them to get a salary like them as their slaves, so they just watched honestly and did not say anything.

In fact, they are very satisfied with their current life.

Since coming to this factory, not only will they no longer be scolded and beaten every day, but they can also enjoy three hearty meals normally, and they don't even need to worry about being hungry.

Although there was work to be done every day, it was much easier than the heavy lifting of the work under Viscount Leslie.

What's more, the working hours are only a short eight hours a day, and there is no extra work for them.

Even last time, due to the lack of manpower to build the road, when Xu also asked them to help, he also gave each slave an extra pound of meat as compensation.

It can be said that the present life was only dreamed of by these slaves when they dreamed before, and they never imagined that they would one day be able to live such a comfortable and comfortable life.

If possible, they really wanted Viscount Leslie to sell him to Xu Yi.

Following in the name of this master is the best destination in the hearts of every slave.

So when Sebas announced that the slaves would come up to receive welfare subsidies, the slaves were all stunned.

Welfare subsidy? What is that? Is it for us?

It wasn't until Sebas raised his voice and repeated it, and called out the names of a slave, that the slaves were sure they had heard correctly.

The named slave trembled before Sebas, and Heinze smiled and slipped a magic fan and clothing vouchers and other meat and other benefits into his hands.

The slave looked at the thing in his hand for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter, but his eyes involuntarily left two lines of tears, and he whimpered, and for a moment he didn't know how to express his kindness.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh slightly.

This damn slavery system should have been eliminated sooner.

Finally, the welfare subsidy for 100 slaves was distributed, and Xu Yi announced loudly that there would be a tentative holiday this afternoon, which immediately caused a burst of joy and thunder.

Now that the salary is in hand, whether it is the dwarves or those students present, who is not itching to go out and show off, of course, it is already a little impatient.

Xu Yi announced the holiday at this time, which was aimed at their itch at once, and the prestige in their minds exploded in an instant.

Seeing dozens of students rushing out in a group of cheers, and even Ou Lin was caught in the middle without the slightest exception, Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh.

This situation reminded him of the crazy days when he used to run outside the school with his classmates in the dormitory when he was in college.

Looking back again, the dwarves also scattered in groups, leaving only those slaves who seemed to be a little overwhelmed, Xu Yi pondered for a moment, and pulled Heinze to a corner.

"Heinze, let's start hiring. ”
