Three hundred apprentices of the mages entered the Coastal Workshop to alleviate the growing shortage of labor, albeit only to do some light work within their means, but to free the craftsmen from trivial tasks and devote more time to key projects. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Lu Bin has no guilt in squeezing the labor of the apprentices, grabbing their surplus value, and in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the children, he clearly marks the price of each job, and even settles the salary of one day every day.

These part-time wizard apprentices, their lives are in Lu Bin's hands, and they don't have many complaints about the not heavy work at all. After all, they all came from civilian families, and at a very young age they had to go into factories to earn money to buy black bread mixed with wood chips and expensive to die to feed themselves.

Compared to their previous experiences, these children had a pleasant time in the Dark Castle, and even those with ulterior motives who were prepared to endure enough hardships to gain access to the wizarding cultivation system did not complain about the harsh abuse they had suffered.

A blessing elixir that can only be purchased for a hundred gold coins seems to be a distant and unreachable target, but after a day's work, the accumulated salary is not a small amount.

The largest production order of the Coastal Works is the bed, which has been modified according to Lu Bin's request, and the single bed that could originally accommodate one person can now easily lie down for two people.

The apprentices learned from the master that the beds were prepared for their new school building and would be used at night, so they took even greater care to modify them. The rough sawn surface of the bedpost has also been carefully polished by the apprentices, and the wooden planks laid on it will also be actively adjusted to ensure that there will be no uneven discomfort.

In fact, Lu Bin only needs to snap his fingers to do these heavy and heavy jobs that don't have much technical content, but he wants to make the wizard apprentices more engaged and completely integrate into the wizarding academy, so he adopts a slightly cumbersome and roundabout strategy.

Lunch time was approaching, and Lu Bin's Transfiguration teacher, Raven Snipe, gathered people according to the list, in order to save time, and let them prepare a fragrant lunch for everyone.

For children who suffer from chronic hunger and cold, the broth and bread are enough to fill their stomachs and meet their daily needs, at least to recuperate their thin bodies before they can do heavy work.

The first lesson of the morning was to select the right people to specialize in the restaurant, including seven teenagers from a suspected aristocratic family, who made bread by natural fermentation, which was the best work, far more than the others.

originally planned to show his abilities in front of His Excellency Aberdeen, the wizard, but unfortunately Lu Bin didn't value these, so he swept the young man who was not rich or noble into the cooking class, and dealt with the stove and iron pot every day, and his hands, feet, and face would inevitably be stained with gray and black bituminous coal marks.

No one took the lead in the rebellion, for those who resisted were turned into stones and inlaid in the walls, and the owner of the castle did not hesitate to kill, nor was he burdened with death or blood, confirming the contract at the time of enrollment - the apprentice was not responsible for life or death.

The freshness of the apprentices did not fade, and after a simple but adequate lunch, they took a short break before entering the coastal workshop and taking up a new job of weaving fishing nets.

Children who have relevant experience can easily learn and get started, and make it as quickly as possible. This scene fell into Lu Bin's eyes, and he immediately gathered these apprentices, gave them new positions, and taught others how to weave.

The dark castle of the coastal area has a unique geographical advantage. In line with the concept of relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea, Lu Bin is ready to seek the source of meat and food from the vast and boundless sea, so all kinds of fishing nets are indispensable.

Lu Bin will spend magic to improve the quality of fishing nets with a high degree of completion, become more tenacious, and not easily torn by the fins, and even give these fishing tools a unique spirituality, throwing them into the sea, and the activated fishing nets will catch fish on their own.

Soon, word spread. The commercial agents of the local aristocracy of Dean City valued the effect of the revitalization of fishing nets on the fishing and aquaculture industries, and vigorously promoted cooperation.

Lu Bin didn't think about it for too long, and after doubling the cost of the low-cost and cost-free activated fishing nets, adding the apprentices' remuneration, and adding the cost of school building renovation, and then raising the price tenfold, he happily sold 20 pieces. These include a net with an area of nearly 30 square meters, a wire net to catch sharks in the North Sea, and a special treatment at the intersection of the warp and weft lines, which will tighten the net rope the moment it touches its prey, just like a snake.

The fishing guild of Dean City, after receiving the activated fishing net, rushed to the sea as fast as possible, and set sail to the place where the migratory fish of the sea must pass. Not surprisingly, even without experienced veteran fishermen, the commercial fishing boat, which was full of novices, still piled up their catch in the bilge and had to return home early.

The Dark Castle became famous, and even changed the impression of many people that "Aberdeen" was a wizard of the Accession Sect. The aristocratic circles of the upper class of Dean City, with a relatively tolerant attitude, are ready to cooperate for a long time - they all see an unimaginable return on their investment in the wizarding academy in the revitalization of fishnets.

With the support of the commoners and the acquiescence of the nobles, the foundation of the Dark Castle was firm and unshakable. It didn't take long for the Wizarding Academy to start staking and building its own business organization.

"A mine with a lot of reserves should be able to meet the daily consumption of coastal workshops. Although I have a hole card to provide a steady stream of resources, it is not convincing in terms of plausibility and provenance. In addition, ore resources such as coal and iron are closely related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and no one in the aristocracy who holds real power will let the wizarding academy break away from the existing business circle. ”

Lu Bin spread out the map made by the dark wizard Snapple and found the nearest mine to the coastal area, which belonged to the family property of the minor nobleman Baron Talion, and produced ore worth more than five hundred gold pounds every year.

"This small wealth is attractive enough, but compared with the annuity fixed manor, it is a bit tasteless and discarded. I want to occupy this mine, what are your good ideas?"

Snapple and Cameron looked at each other, both trying to keep their mouths shut. The cunning "Crow" strikes first, his little evil spell is very hidden, and he has mastered the skill of silent spell casting, which makes the "puppeteer" speechless on the spot.

Cameron, who was ready to wait for an opportunity to fight back, found that the two continued to fight openly and secretly, and the consequences of angering His Royal Highness Aberdeen would be a lose-lose situation, so he wisely kept his hole cards and let Snapple steal the limelight.

"A curse on the owner of the mine, Baron Talion? I have to say, it's a good idea, but it seems to violate a long-standing tacit agreement that going on a nobleman would break the rules of the game. The castle, which has just been recognized and has gained a foothold, cannot withstand violent upheaval. Crucially, I'm not ready for an all-out war with the nobles!"

Lu Bin shook his head lightly and vetoed the suggestion of the dark wizard Snip, the previous words were nothing, the important thing was the last sentence, which completely exposed the true intentions of the wizard "Aberdeen".

At this time, the puppeteer Cameron has lifted the little evil curse "silence" on his own, reflected on Snipe's mistakes, remembered the dirty things between the nobles, and unhurriedly made a plan that did not conform to the wizard's way of acting, but fully embodied the "aristocratic" style.

"Contact Baron Talion, take his youngest son as his godson, and then use poison or a dagger in the dark, kill the baron, and secretly seize the property of the Talion family in the name of guardianship. Cameron, you gave me a great idea that was very practical. It's up to you!"

Snippe's face was ugly like a dead man, and the intrigues he had despised had turned out to be Cameron, who seemed to be a friend and foe. Seeing that the other party was reused and became the head of the wizarding academy's external contacts, the "crow", a well-known "crow" in the dark wizard world, had a complicated mood that only he himself could understand.
