Chapter Twenty-Seven: Green Field No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant
With factories and equipment, workers are also needed, but fortunately, Wang Duzhi's luggage Yu and Ilea brought back a lot of people before.
There was no shortage of people in Evergreen, so the first steelworks of Wildfield, jointly established by Shuangxiu and the Arias family, quickly filled the first batch of 400 employees.
In addition to enjoying basic weekends and holidays, the salary is also very generous, and those who have worked as blacksmiths before can get double wages as long as they pass the interview.
In addition, the steel mill has a one-hour lunch break for lunch...... These jobs are a novelty for the natives of the continent of Bratis.
And the dwarves in the mines are also curious.
After being captured, they were ready to be executed, after all, this time they were the first to secretly unite with those savages in the Dragonspine Mountains to launch an attack on the western realm, and also killed the Marquis of Kulun.
However, the female lord only killed their commander, but spared the others, and even opened up to the dwarven prince Ollie, allowing him to write to the dwarven king to raise a ransom.
Although the amount is a little bigger.
In the end, after some bargaining, the two sides made a deal at the price of 70,000 golden lions, and then the dwarf king wanted to redeem the 10,000 dwarves who were captured together.
As a result, Miss Rabbit opened her mouth and quoted a million, and there was no follow-up.
In fact, according to the general market price on the continent of Bratis, it would be good if a warrior without noble status could be worth one or two golden lions, after all, their families would not be able to make up more money.
The reason why the female lord gave such an outrageous price was actually to express that she didn't want to send these people back to the other side of the Dragonspine Mountains.
Of course, the dwarf king Helei also heard the meaning behind this, so he didn't ask again with a tacit understanding.
As for Ollie, this guy is a talent, he was forced by the female lord to be in a hurry, and he used any trick to persuade Herre to hand over the ransom.
First, he played the emotional card by turning out the events of Here's childhood in the letter, and then pretended to be pitiful, saying that if Heray didn't pay for it, he would soon be killed by those imperial people, and his body would be hung on the city gate and spurned.
But what really struck Herre was the sentence at the end of the letter, where Ollie said he knew how the dwarves had been defeated this time.
And that happens to be what Hurley wants to know the most.
You know, until the night attack that night, almost all the good news came from the front.
The Imperial army was trapped in the Gravel Valley as planned, and then reinforcements were drawn in and threatened to be wiped out.
Hurley was still a little regretful at that time, the second imperial army was too few, only 5,000 people came, but he didn't expect that it was these 5,000 people, and finally defeated the nearly 30,000 army of the dwarf kingdom.
When the news reached the royal capital, Hurley couldn't believe his ears, he was shocked and angry, and secretly wrote down the name of Ilea.
Then it's a matter of figuring out where exactly this time were.
Although some of the remnants of the soldiers escaped after a lot of difficulty, they were completely frightened, and the scene described by Heret sounded like a myth and legend, and it was hard to believe.
In the case of the death of Jerome, the commander of the army, Ollie, as a surviving officer and a member of the royal family, should have a relatively high credibility and reference value.
This is the real reason why the dwarf king Helei is willing to pay in the end, and what he bought with the 70,000 golden lions is actually a losing one.
It's a pity that his simple wish is destined to fail, because his uncle still doesn't know how he was defeated.
But at least Ollie's life was saved.
Miss Rabbit was still very reputable, and as soon as she received the money, she hired a few wild men to send him back to the other side of the mountain.
even intimately helped the dwarf prince wrap some carrots that are special products of the green field as a souvenir.
In addition, he also took some white paper and linen produced by the Shuangxiu Sect, and told Ollie to take it to the dwarven king, and if he needed it in the future, he could come and order it.
When the whole dwarven prince goes back, he is like a streamer with goods.
Halfway through, he was given these things to the wild men who were with him, and when he was about to cross the Dragon's Back Mountains, the prince of the dwarves asked the two wild men to whip him severely.
After that, as if it wasn't enough, he gritted his teeth and broke one of his legs, and then limped back.
Ollie was able to return to his hometown as a prince, but the other dwarves did not have the good fortune of him, so they could only honestly move bricks in the mines.
But after moving for a while, they also felt a little wrong.
Why does it seem like a good day?
Although mining is hard every day, there is also a lot of time to rest, and every five days can be taken for two more days.
The food of the captives was certainly not good, but it was still good to swallow, and the female lord did not deduct and abuse them in the food.
As for income...... No, but Li Yu persuaded Ilea to give the dwarves some extra sweets.
One of the most popular is a small thing called a sake roll.
If you save up enough to get a glass of wine, of course, it's only inferior, but something is better than nothing, and for the dwarves who are addicted to alcohol, the happiest thing now is to sit under the open wine shed and have a beautiful drink.
In order to save enough to redeem the wine coupons as soon as possible, they worked a lot harder.
And it is strange to say that when some dwarves proposed not to rest on Saturdays and Sundays in order to drink more, they were rejected by the steward of the mine.
The man said that this was the territory of the Church of Weekends, and that Saturdays were merciful, and that people were not allowed to continue working on weekends.
Some dwarves, especially those from poor families, remembered the tragic experience of working day and night on the other side of the land, and then being brought in to join the army to fight, but in the end they did not make much money.
In this comparison, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to feel captured.
So the next time the Hughes of the Church came back to preach, the dwarves didn't seem so resistant.
In addition, in the previous battle, they had also witnessed the divine power of Saturday and witnessed the miracles performed by the prophets of the Shuangxiu Sect.
Some of the dwarves who were not strong enough in their faith began to waver, and it was probably the twelfth day after the Hughes came to the mines to preach that one of the dwarves finally became believers on Saturday.
Although this was an isolated case, it was a good start, and more dwarves came to me to express their desire to join the Church of Shuanghu.
