Chapter 62: Bonta Daily
"I'm not welcome!" said Heinze, blushing as he showed his unhappiness at a glance. "Xu Yi, why didn't you tell me when you agreed to this guy's coming? Do you know that now we are working hard in order to produce magic rice cookers, and I am busy every day, but you stuffed such a noble young master with fine skin and tender meat into it at this time, do you want us to produce it well?"
Xu Yi looked at Baron Hainas, who was hanging in the workshop in the distance with a curious face, scurrying around like a cat, and couldn't help but say: "No, didn't I? You don't have to treat him as a noble young master, anyway, he himself said that we don't need to be polite to him. ”
"It's simple!" said Heinze, angrily. "No matter what he says, he is also a noble young master from Anweimar City, and he must still be from a big noble. There are so many magic machines and parts in this workshop, if something happens to him and he is even a little injured, will our factory still be able to open? Even if he doesn't have an accident, just stopping here will already affect our normal work! You see, he still runs to harass our workers...... Oh my God, he still wants to control the magic tooth rubbing machine!"
Xu Yi and Heinze hurriedly trotted over and pulled Baron Henas who was eager to try.
"This ...... Ahem, Baron Haynas, it's okay for you to visit the factory floor, but I'll do it myself, right?" Xu Yi got a full hint from Viscount Leslie, knowing that this Baron Haynas was not small, so he tried his best to be kind to him. "The operation of this magic machine tool is still dangerous, and if you don't want to operate it rashly after training, you are likely to be injured because of it. You see, this head can flatten the head of an iron nail in one fell swoop, and I guess it shouldn't be too difficult to break your fingers or even your arms, right?"
Baron Haynas was a little surprised: "Isn't it? I think these workers are very easy to operate." ”
"That's because they're already skilled workers. You have to know that when these magic machines first arrived, the workers who were in charge of the operation were injured as a result, and one of them even had a broken arm. Speaking of this, Xu Yi desperately glanced at the few workers who were beside the magic tooth rubbing machine.
Those workers understood and hurriedly chimed in.
"yes, yes, that Tucci kid can't use his arm right now. ”
"It's like, this thing is dangerous, I almost got caught up in it that time, and if I hadn't reacted quickly, I wouldn't have lost my whole hand. ”
"Yes, this magic machine is not a casual game, and unskilled people will get injured if they don't operate it well. ”
......
Hearing the terrible words of several workers, Baron Haynas hesitated for a moment, only to sigh and give up reluctantly.
"Okay, I'm not going to do it myself, I'll see you guys do it. ”
Xu Yi and Heinze just breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Baron Hainas take out a small notebook and a pen from his arms and record them in front of the two of them.
"There is a certain danger in operating the magic machine, and even some workers are injured as a result. ”
Xu Yi probed and saw the record in the notebook, and his face twitched.
I didn't think that what I made up casually just to coax him was carefully recorded by him.
Fortunately, there are no workers' unions on the Sainz continent at present, otherwise based on this record alone, if you don't do well in this workshop, you will have to close down for rectification.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi suddenly thought that although he had paid more attention to the welfare of workers, he had not done enough in terms of safety measures and after-the-fact compensation.
At present, the workers in the workshop have not had any work-related accidents, so this hidden danger has not been exposed, but once an accident occurs, if there are no suitable measures to properly arrange, I am afraid that there will really be some problems.
In the past, only the slaves of Viscount Leslie were fine among the workers in the workshop, but now that a hundred ordinary workers have been recruited, this problem has to be taken seriously.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi explained to Heince in front of Baron Hainas.
Seeing that Baron Haynas also recorded his confession in the small notebook, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile a little.
This Baron Haynas recorded these things, apparently bringing them back to Reeves.
If these things can be interested or even valued by Reeves, then it will also be of some help to Xu Yi's ideas in the future.
After visiting the home magic machinery production workshop, Xu Yi accompanied Baron Hainas to the magic machine tool workshop.
Seeing that this workshop was full of dwarves, Baron Haynas was extremely surprised.
Since the race wars thousands of years ago, other races have become less and less present in human society.
Even in Anweimar City, the capital of the Lampari Kingdom, there are not many dwarves to be seen, let alone a hundred dwarves in one go.
Baron Hainas couldn't contain the excitement in his heart, grabbed the leader and began to ask questions, but these questions were not all related to the magic machine tools produced in this workshop, but more related to the daily life of the dwarven tribe.
Looking at Baron Hainas's look of asking gossip questions with great interest, Xu Yi couldn't help but shake his head, and his heart was sure again.
If this Baron Haynas were to be placed on Earth, the most suitable profession for him would have to be the paparazzi.
Thinking of the paparazzi, Xu Yi's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration.
I remember that more than a month ago, he had asked Heinze if there were any newspapers in the city of Bonta, and the answer he received was that only the city lord's palace would send out newspapers every once in a while, and there were no serious newspapers.
Now seeing Baron Hainas's paparazzi-like watch, Xu Yi couldn't help but think of those lace tabloids on the earth, and then suddenly thought, since there are no newspapers in this world now, why didn't he just start his own?
On Earth, before the advent of the Internet, newspapers have always been the key props to control the mouthpiece of the public, and if they can control the newspaper, it is almost equivalent to controlling public opinion, and can even guide the people's aspirations in a certain way.
If Xu Yi can successfully run a newspaper now, it will definitely create a sensational impact.
Of course, on the continent of Sainz, where the concept of class is still very strict, trying to control the hearts and minds of the people is an act of seeking death, but this does not prevent the newspaper from obtaining some other conveniences, such as advertising......
Thinking of this, Xu Yi's somewhat helpless eyes when he originally looked at Baron Hainas instantly changed.
###
Suddenly, more than ten days have passed, and the time has officially stepped into the golden autumn of October.
By this time, most of the green leaves on the trees had been dyed golden, and the people on the road had gradually begun to put on their long shirts outside, and the breeze brought by the flowing air had begun to carry a hint of coolness, and the heat had long since disappeared.
It was an ordinary day for the city of Bonta, but early in the morning, the people of the city smelled something unusual.
"Newspapers are sold! Newspapers are sold! Freshly baked "Bonta Daily"! Inside and outside the city, big and small news, all in "Bonta Daily!"
A little boy of about eleven or twelve years old was walking down the street while shouting loud slogans.
Hearing his slogan, the pedestrians on the road stopped and cast curious glances at the little boy.
"Hey, boy, what's the Bonta Daily? What kind of news? What is it?" asked a big man closest to the little boy in a low voice.
The little boy was not nervous, and with a smile he took out a newspaper stacked of several sheets of paper from the cloth bag on his chest and handed it over. "Look, this is the Bonta Daily, which records a lot of things happening inside and outside the city of Bonta Oh, would you be interested in buying a copy and seeing? It's very cheap, and it's only a silver coin a copy. ”
"Let me take a look before I decide whether to buy it or not. The big man was just about to grab it, but the little boy nimbly dodged it.
"Guest, the most important thing about this newspaper is what is recorded on it, and if you read it, I won't be able to sell it to you. How about a silver coin, and you're ready to watch. ”
The big man glared at the little boy, but under the gaze of the people around him, in the end, he could only obediently take out a silver coin and throw it to the little boy, and then open the newspaper with a proud expression and read it.
Compared with the villages outside the city, the people in the city of Bangta were naturally more educated, and the man looked very vulgar, but he was also literate, and as soon as he opened the newspaper, he read it aloud.
Some time ago, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which has developed a small magic harvester and a small magic scarifier, suddenly announced that it was going to launch a support program for ordinary farmers in Bangta City, which was intended to help ordinary farmers complete their farmland more conveniently and quickly. Three villages outside Bonta City, including Irish Village, have been used as the first pilot sites for the program, and ordinary farmers have already benefited from the program. In response to this support plan, Lord Sean Satsuma, the lord of Bonta City, also called it a good plan for the benefit of the people, and praised the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as a good chamber of commerce with a good conscience......"
Listening to the big man reading this, everyone around him began to discuss.
"I've also heard of this farmer support program, I have a relative who lives in Irish Village, and I heard that a guy in their village rented a small magic ripper from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and then it only took three days to loosen all the fields in Irish Village, and he earned more than four gold coins in three days with this thing. ”
"How did you make so much money?"
"It's very simple, he used that small magic ripper to help people loosen the soil, and collected two silver coins per acre. There are more than 200 acres of farmland in Irish Village, all of which he has contracted by himself, how much do you say he earns?"
"Then the people of the Irish village asked him to help loosen the soil, why don't they do it himself?"
"You are stupid, if you loosen the soil yourself, how long will it take to cover an acre of land? If he is asked to help, he will not even be able to spend ten minutes on one acre of land, and it will only cost two silver coins, so why not do it? What can you do with the time and effort you saved?"
"That's right...... I heard that the city lord recently decided to rebuild the road, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is also recruiting, and there are workers hired everywhere, how can you earn more than two silver coins if you have more time to do this. ”
"That's the truth......"
......
Hearing the discussion of the surrounding crowd, the big man became even more triumphant and read more energetically.
However, there were many people who were impatient to listen and wait for him to continue reading, so they simply came to the little boy, threw him a silver coin, and picked up a copy for themselves and kept reading.
After a while, the newspaper on the boy's chest was snatched up, and there were many people left who didn't buy it at all.
Seeing everyone's disappointed expressions, the little boy put down his hand to count the silver coins, and shouted with a smile: "In the future, there will be a "Bonta Daily" every day, if you want to buy it, please be early!"
