Perhaps because he had witnessed the changes in the Norma tribe, Patriarch Monto and the two elders were full of hope for cooperation with Xu Yi, so the whole negotiation ...... Oh no, it can be regarded as an ordinary negotiation that went very smoothly.

It only took one day for Xu Yi to negotiate with Patriarch Monto on almost all the details.

For the 100 dwarven craftsmen provided by the Angolan tribe, Xu Yi was given the same salary as the dwarves of Kambi with a salary of eight gold coins per month.

However, in terms of other benefits, it is a little worse.

This is because the dwarves such as Camby have been working in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for more than two months and are now skilled skilled workers, while these dwarves of the Angolan tribe are new to the country, so it is naturally impossible for them to have exactly the same treatment.

Neither the Patriarch nor the two elders had any problem with this, after all, the salary of eight gold coins per month for each clan was enough to satisfy them.

What's more, Xu Yi also agreed to build a material studio in the Angolan tribe, not only to provide a fixed research fund of 100 gold coins every month, but also to get a reward of 500 gold coins as long as the research results are finally adopted by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

For the Angolan tribe that has been impoverished for a long time, whether it is the fixed salary of eight gold coins per month obtained by the tribesmen to work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, or the five hundred gold coins that can be obtained after research, it is like a long drought, which makes them feel extremely satisfied, how can they put forward more requirements at this time.

The dwarves were originally honest and straightforward, but now they feel that Xu Yi put forward these conditions simply to save them.

So the patriarch and the two elders said that they would also pull Xu Yi to the Angolan tribe as a guest to express their gratitude.

Xu Yi couldn't resist their enthusiasm, and finally had to follow them, accompanied by Patriarch Sluka and Camby, to the Angolan tribe.

Probably because the population is twice as large as that of the Norma tribe, the living conditions of the dwarves of the Angolan tribe are slightly stronger than the previous Norma tribe, but they are also limited in strength, and they are still only in the stage of barely starving to death.

But compared with the current Norma tribe, it is one heaven and one underground.

After walking around the Angolan tribe, Xu Yi watched a dwarf boy grab a piece of candy he brought over and eat it happily, and finally couldn't help but ask the Sluka patriarch: "I'm very strange, why is the life of the dwarves so difficult? The dwarves are so hardworking, can endure hardships, and have strong forging skills, so it stands to reason that they shouldn't live this kind of life all the time?"

Patriarch Sluka and Patriarch Monto looked at each other with a wry smile.

After a long while, Patriarch Sluka sighed and said, "President Xu, this question should actually be asked to you humans. ”

"Oh?" Xu Yi looked at Patriarch Sluka curiously. "Why?"

"It's simple. Since the race war thousands of years ago, humanity has won a great victory, and then it has taken all the good places in the entire continent of Sainz. Whether it is us dwarves, orcs, or gnomes and goblins that we haven't seen for a long time, they can only live in barren land, and they can't get enough food at all. And if you want to get food from humans, you have to pay a very high price. President Xu, you are from Bang Ta City, and I ask you, how much does a pound of wheat sell for in Bang Ta City?"

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and replied: "If I remember correctly, the current price should be fourteen silver coins a catty." ”

"You see, you can buy a pound for only fourteen silver coins!" Patriarch Sluka snorted, his tone full of dissatisfaction. "Do you know how much it costs you humans to sell us a pound of wheat?"

Xu Yi frowned, he didn't need to ask at all, he knew that this price must be outrageous.

Sure enough, Patriarch Sluka stretched out a stout finger.

"A whole gold coin! You can only buy one catty of wheat! President Xu, do you know that our dwarves have a much larger amount of food than you humans, and one person can eat half a catty of wheat in one meal. In other words, one gold coin is only enough for one of us dwarves to eat for a day!" said the latter part, and there was already a hint of anger in Patriarch Sluka's tone, it was obvious that he had long been suffocated by the high price at which humans sold wheat. "Our dwarves' only hobby is fine wine, but it takes more wheat to make it. In order to save the wheat that was finally exchanged from humans, our Norma tribe has long banned winemaking. President Xu, do you know that the last time you came to our tribe was the first time I drank in two years?"

Xu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that for dwarves who are addicted to alcohol, it is indeed a very painful thing to not be able to drink for two years.

It is no wonder that when Xu Yi promised Camby that he would provide the dwarven craftsmen with the wine of Saatchi Manor as a reward, the dwarves' enthusiasm for their work was immediately extremely high.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi was a little strange.

"That's not right, Patriarch Sluka, according to you, what do you use to earn gold, or what do you exchange for the food necessary for life?"

"It's simple, trade ore. Patriarch Sluka casually pointed to the mountain outside the Angolan tribe. "There's a lot of iron ore in that mountain, and there's also a magic crystal mine. Humans felt that this place was too far away to be worth mining, so they didn't care about it, so we dwarves relied on collecting these iron ores and magic crystals to sell to humans in exchange for food. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the price they paid for iron ore and magic crystals must be very low, right?" Xu Yi asked in a deep voice.

"It's low, but what's the solution?" Patriarch Sluka sighed. "It's also because humans don't think it's cost-effective to mine these mines. If humans take a fancy to these mines one day and send troops to drive us away, then we really don't know how to continue to survive. Now we are thankful that humanity has at least left us a way to live. At this, Patriarch Sluka smiled self-deprecatingly.

Xu Yi looked at the Patriarch of Mengtuo next to him a little speechlessly, and the Patriarch of Mengtuo also smiled bitterly, nodded to Xu Yi and said, "Although the situation of our tribe was a little stronger than that of the Norma tribe before, it was generally about the same. After all, we are not human, and humans are the rulers of Sainz. ”

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the two patriarchs, Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

As a human, he was a little uncomfortable discussing the squeeze of dwarves with two dwarves here.

However, the information revealed in Patriarch Sluka's words just now attracted his attention, and he looked up at the mountain for a while, and Xu Yi suddenly asked, "Patriarch Sluka, are you dwarves not only good at forging, but also good at mining?"

"Well, that's right. We dwarves have no other specialty, but we are very talented in clearing the wasteland and smelting ore. You humans may not be able to mine as much ore in a day alone as we dwarves in a meal. Patriarch Sluka replied.

"That's still a little wrong, since the dwarves are so capable, why doesn't the Human Chamber of Commerce hire you dwarves to mine?" Xu Yi asked again.

"There were. However, the salaries offered by the human chamber of commerce to our dwarven brothers were very low, of course, the most important thing is that humans always discriminate against us, and it is easy to be bullied in the human mines, so it is better to come back and do it yourself. After a long time, there are no dwarven brothers willing to go out and work for humans. Patriarch Sluka glanced at Xu Yi and continued: "To tell you the truth, President Xu, if it weren't for the last time when I really couldn't help it, I wouldn't have promised Lanu to let you take my hundred brothers away." ”

Xu Yi nodded, this point had already been mentioned to him by Master Lanu last time.

"Of course, later Kanbi and those brothers said that they were doing well in your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and President Xu not only let the brothers eat and sleep well, but also let them have wine to drink, and I gradually felt relieved. Patriarch Sluka changed his tone of appreciation again. "I have to say, President Xu, you are different from other humans, and you have no prejudice against us dwarves. ”

Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders: "To say something that you may not like to hear, I am a pure human businessman. I only care about whether the other person will benefit me, and I don't care about the other person's race. ”

Patriarch Sluka and Patriarch Monto laughed at the same time, and Patriarch Sluka even stood on tiptoe and patted Xu Yi's shoulder with difficulty and said, "If all humans were as straightforward as you, President Xu, our dwarves would have a much better life. ”

Xu Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes, he couldn't imagine that he would get a straightforward evaluation in exchange for saying this.

Glancing at the high mountain in the distance again, Xu Yi said again: "Patriarch Sluka, since you are not as good at mining as a dwarf, then you must be very good at exploring ore veins, right?"

"Well, when it comes to exploring ore veins, we dwarves say second, and no race in the entire Sainz continent dares to say that they are first!" said Patriarch Sluka with a proud face.

"That's good. I just have an idea that I need you to help with a few vein prospectors. Xu Yidao.

"No problem. Patriarch Monto on the side grabbed in front of Patriarch Sluka and patted his chest vigorously. "When it comes to the experts of exploring ore veins, we Angolan tribes have a lot of them. Don't talk about others, I'm a master. ”

Xu Yi smiled and shook his head: "Of course you don't need Patriarch Monto to go out personally, I hope that Patriarch Sluka and Patriarch Monto will each select five people from the clan, and then explore all the places in the Lampari Kingdom according to my requirements, and it is best to explore all the ore veins." Do you think that's possible?"

"All the places in the Lampari Kingdom?" the two patriarchs looked at each other and frowned. "It's a bit difficult, but it's not that it can't be done, it's just that it will take a little longer. ”

"How long will it take?" asked Xu Yi.

"If it's just exploring iron ore and magic crystal mines, our clansmen are all experienced, and if there are ten people in total, I think it will take less than half a year to complete. Patriarch Monto said. "But if you include other veins, it's hard to say......"

Xu Yi was overjoyed: "I can't use it for half a year? This is great! Very good, it's decided." Patriarch Sluka, Patriarch Monto, each of you has selected five dwarves from your clan who are the most experienced in prospecting for ore veins, and told them that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not only provide them with sufficient supplies, but also pay them a reward of one hundred gold coins each after the exploration is completed. ”

"A hundred gold coins, that's too much!" As soon as Xu Yi's voice fell, the two patriarchs waved their hands again and again. "It's just a trivial matter, and you don't need to be paid, let alone a hundred gold coins. ”

"The dwarven brothers have worked hard, and of course they need to be paid. ”

"That's a hundred gold coins...... too"

......

Just as the three of them were arguing, a dwarf from the Angolan tribe hurriedly came to the patriarch of Monto and said loudly: "Patriarch, the guest of the elven tribe is here again!"
