Heinze watched from a distance as Xu Yi followed by a large group of ragged men and women, walking towards the factory, and was suddenly startled.

Could it be that this guy is being targeted by the "beggars" in Bangta City?

When the crowd approached, Heinze realized that something was wrong, because in front of those ragged men and women, in addition to Xu Yi, there was also an old man who was brightly dressed and had a hint of nobility in his gestures. "Butler of Brunei, why are you here?" asked Heinze, stunned.

The Brunei housekeeper nodded at Heinze, did not answer his question, and turned to Xu Yi and said, "President Xu, I have already sent the person." From now on, these hundred slaves are entirely yours to use, whatever you tell them to do. However, the Viscount also said that the hundred slaves were only lent to you, not given to you, and would not be sold to you, and he wanted to see you fulfill your promise to him, and if he could not, he would take back the hundred slaves at any time. ”

Xu Yi smiled and said, "Okay, thank you Brunei butler for sending them over personally." ”

The Brunei butler turned around and said a few words to the men and women behind him, and those people walked behind Xu Yi with an obedient look.

"Alright, my mission is done. The Brunei butler nodded to Heinze again, and then said solemnly to Xu Yi: "Xu Yi, although Lord Viscount did not tell me why I gave these hundred slaves to you for use, but as Lord Viscount's housekeeper, I must remind you that these hundred slaves are also very important to Lord Viscount, and now that Lord Viscount has handed them over to you, it means that Lord Viscount trusts you, and I hope you will not let Lord Viscount down." ”

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, if Lord Viscount doesn't have confidence in me, how can he agree to my request?"

The Brunei butler nodded slightly, said no more, and turned straight away.

After the Brunei butler got into the carriage in the distance and left, Heinze could no longer hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked Xu Yi: "Hey, Xu Yi, what the hell is going on? These people are all slaves? Are they all slaves of Viscount Leslie? How could he give you all these slaves to use? What conditions did you negotiate with him?"

Xu Yi raised his hand and stopped Heinze's questioning.

"I'll talk about that later, what about the houses I asked you to build last time? ”

Heinze glanced at Xu Yi suspiciously, turned around and shouted to the factory, and after a while, Heinze's nephew Alex ran out.

After listening to Heinze's commands, Alex immediately beckoned the slaves to a few large cabins near the river.

"You called Alex to help too?" Xu Yi looked at Alex who was leading a group of slaves, and said with some surprise.

"Hey...... I couldn't keep myself busy, so I just called him to help. Heinze replied with some embarrassment. "Although this kid is not so smart, he is quite serious in his work, and I asked him to help me manage this place, which saved a lot of effort. ”

Xu Yi smiled slightly, patted Heinze on the shoulder and said, "It's my fault, I put everything on you." In fact, now that there are more and more things, I should have found a helper for you a long time ago. It's okay for you to ask Alex to help, at least he's his own person, so you can rest assured. ”

"Well, that's what I thought too. Of course, if you have the right person, I'll get this kid back to take care of the grocery store right away. ”

"Not really. Now that he's here, let him do his job. So, let's take this opportunity to divide the responsibilities a bit. Now Heinze, you're in charge of the production and the size of the factory, so you're the director of the factory. What about salary...... Let's just set it at 30 gold coins per month for the time being. ”

"Huh, what's going to happen then?" Heinze was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand repeatedly. "I have shares, and managing things here is also what I should do, so how can I get another money?"

"Shares and what you do are two different things. After the labor is paid, there will be a receipt, and you will have to spend a lot of time and energy to manage this place, and thirty gold coins per month is actually very little. But now that we're just getting started, that's all we can do for the time being. When it develops in the future, your salary will definitely increase. Without waiting for Heince to refute, Xu also patted him on the shoulder. "That's it!"

"This ...... That...... How is this good......" Heinze rubbed his hands, looking embarrassed, but in the end he didn't say anything against it.

Xu Yi smiled and continued: "As for Alex, I will set a position as an assistant to the factory director, and the salary will be ......."

"No, no, no, no, this kid can come to help because of his luck, and what salary do you dare to get. You don't need to think about him, really!" said Heinze.

Xu Yi laughed and pointed at Heinze: "You take thirty gold coins a month, but he can't even get a copper coin, can he be happy? Okay, I've decided on this matter, let's take ten gold coins a month first, if you do a good job, you can mention it at any time." What do you think?"

Heinze laughed twice and did not object.

Seeing the unbearable excitement on his face, Xu Yi was a little amused in his heart.

Heinze sought some benefits for his nephew, which is also human nature, and Xu Yi does not have any prejudice against this kind of thing.

As he said, Alex is also his own person and can be used with confidence.

And in this way, it will make Heinze more committed and attentive to this factory, which is also a good thing.

As for his and Alex's salaries, it's just a trifle.

"By the way, Xu Yi, you haven't said what happened to these slaves?" After the excitement, Heinze still didn't forget to ask about those slaves.

"Oh, they're the hands I borrowed from Viscount Leslie for the time being. Soon our factory will have to increase its investment in expanding production, and we need a large number of workers, and these slaves are obedient and easy to use, and of course they are very suitable candidates. By the way, you should contact a few more construction teams in Bonta City, and hurry up and build a few more houses, and the dwarven craftsmen I contacted will be here in a few days, and they will have to arrange accommodation when the time comes. ”

"Okay, I've made a note of these things, is there anything else?"

"Something else......" Xu Yi glanced at Heinze and shook his head. "Not for the time being. The main problem now is to solve the problem of the lives of these slaves and dwarves. Heinze, you must not be discouraged by their status as slaves and dwarves, they are an important factor in the development and growth of our Chamber of Commerce. ”

"I understand this, and I will do my best to arrange it. Heinze nodded solemnly.

Xu Yi sighed, thinking that his manpower was still too small.

Heinze was nominally the director of the factory, but he was also the head of personnel and logistics, and he took care of almost all the affairs of the entire factory.

Now that the factory is still small and the production scale is not large, he already needs to ask Alex for help, and when there is further development in the future, he will not be able to complete it all by himself anyway.

However, this kind of management talent is often even more difficult to find than research talent, and there is no way to solve it for a while.

After explaining some things to Heinze, Xu also entered the workshop.

Because today is the day when classes are needed, the thirty students hired are all taking classes in the academy at this time, and the workshop seems a little deserted.

Xu Yi looked at the empty workshop and couldn't help but sigh again at the lack of human resources.

For the students, after all, it was the more important thing to study at Baron Ricto's School of Magic, and even if they signed a contract, they would not see the work here as a focus, but only as a means of work-study.

However, for a factory, the stability and continuity of production personnel is extremely important.

Although Xu Yi can recruit a large number of students to complete this work, the students are deeply influenced by the traditional thinking of the Sainz continent, and feel that becoming a powerful magician is far more important than working here, but it is difficult to persist here for as long as Xu Yi imagined.

"Two solutions, one is to cast a wide net. The magic on the continent of Sainz is extremely prosperous, and there are many magicians, and there are always some magicians who are not very ambitious. In order to live, these guys have to have a job. The work here can be regarded as a professional counterpart, and there must be some people who will come. As for the other plan......" Xu Yi groaned, falling into deep thought.

Another solution is to lower the threshold for drawing magic circles.

Although the wind whirlwind circle required by the magic fan now is a low-level wind array, which can be completed even by students who are still studying in the academy, but in Xu Yi's plan, there will be more industrial products in the future, and the magic array required for those things will not be limited to low-level magic circles.

And if you want to complete the high-level magic array, you must have corresponding requirements for the strength of the magician.

At that stage, of course, it was difficult to recruit magicians in large numbers at will to do the work.

What Xu Yi can do in this regard is to reduce the requirements of these magic machines for the output of magic power as much as possible, reduce the power and level of the magic array they need, and reduce the requirements for drawing magic arrays as much as possible.

But this is a very large project that requires a lot of time and effort to study.

Just with the wind whirlwind circle required by the magic fan, it is already very difficult for Xu Yi to improve it now, and if he wants to produce any new product in the future, he will face the same problem.

Relying on Xu Yi alone, it is impossible to solve it all.

Xu Yi furrowed his brows and paced around the workshop while thinking about how to solve this problem.

When he walked near the workbench where the students were drawing magic arrays, a cool breeze suddenly hit him, which shook his spirits.

When I looked up, I saw that the magic air conditioning testing machine on the wall was still on.

"Why is no one still open here?, isn't it a waste?" Xu Yi muttered, and then remembered that this was still what he had explained, and he wanted to use this magic air conditioner more so that he could test the relevant numbers.

"I don't know if those guys have summed up any problems, so I'll collect them and then go to Camillala Magic ......" Thinking of this, Xu Yi narrowed his eyes and whispered to himself. "Looks like we'll have to talk to Grand Magician Camilla. ”
