Chapter 113: Boosting Morale (1st Update)
Since Born returned to the alchemy workshop, the speed of the entire construction process has increased by two percent in an instant, and the workers are walking with the wind on the board carts designed by Bohn, all of them are full of energy as if they have taken stimulants.
Completely spontaneous and independent work, Gordon was amazed when he watched it on the side, this morale drive was a bit exaggerated, but this also made Gordon worry a lot, and the overseer was also a lot easier, just drink tea on the side.
"I can't imagine that Bohn really has a set of people." Uncle John, the chief knight, touched his chin and looked a little surprised, "No wonder the outside world says that the people of the Lehman Chamber of Commerce can't dig it, and the people here are like dwarves, they stink and can't dig it." ”
The so-called expert gatekeeper, he is not like Gordon, he has really led soldiers to fight, he can make a group of ordinary people so supportive, just a person hanging around here can bring such a high morale, even the military bigwigs may not have this ability.
He was very curious about how Born did it, looking at the people in the Lehman Chamber of Commerce, his eyes were full of excitement, and even the trace of fanaticism in his eyes made the knight chief a little frightened!
There may have been some places where the design requirements were a little unclear before, but now with the help of the gnomes, there is no need to worry about it at all, even if they don't understand, they will definitely understand if they ask the old dwarf ash furnace.
The old dwarf ashoven was not only a master builder, but also a polymath, and could translate it into words they understood just by looking at it.
And Bohn is also the first time to meet someone who can talk so openly, there is basically no language barrier and generation gap, what he says the old dwarf can basically understand, especially Bohn often pops out some strange words, even if the old dwarf does not react on the spot, he can understand it even if he thinks about it a little, and he doesn't need Bohn to explain more, in Bohn's words, it is very comfortable to talk to this old man.
This old man is not ordinary, but it is also true, how can a person with such knowledge be an ordinary dwarf, looking at the special attitude of other dwarfs towards the ash furnace, Bohn estimates that this old man has a high status in the dwarf clan.
As for how he became a slave Bohn, it is unknown, but at least Bohn did not treat him as a slave, and the treatment was directly mentioned to the same level as Lehman.
"At this rate, it is estimated that it will be completed the day after tomorrow." Lehman said that it would be good to finish it ahead of schedule, so that the magic plant could be planted quickly.
"Well, I'll leave the next minor minor corrections to the gnomes, I've already told the ash, and he'll know how to do it. Habervik has already synthesized the compartment glass, and it will be able to partition it this afternoon. ”
Born was satisfied that everything was going according to plan.
"Okay, understood!" Lehman nodded.
"By the way, it snowed last night, didn't it?"
Born asked.
"Yes, it was a little late last night."
Lehman replied.
"And where do these new gnomes live?"
"Uh... Stayed in the wooden house where the old man retired before the Lehman Chamber of Commerce. ”
"No, this year's winter may be extraordinarily long, isn't there a vacant land in front of the staff dormitory building, according to the standards of the dormitory building, one is being built, just to find something for the rest of the people, otherwise the weather will be stiff when it's cold, and after this winter, they and the people of the Lehman Chamber of Commerce will be a real family."
Born instructed, "There are still more materials, especially food, now there are a lot of people, there is a lot of food, don't be afraid of excess, stock up more, next year the military has a big move, the price of grain will rise a lot, when the time comes, you can resell it to some merchants, it is estimated that you can make a profit." ”
Lehman's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this, and he immediately thought of more than a dozen ways to hoard more military supplies and resell them to earn the difference, but Born's next words were like a basin of cold water directly pouring him cold.
"Don't touch the military supplies, step up the sale of the military supplies that have been hoarded before, and there may be large-scale requisition in the spring of next year, don't hurt the military."
In fact, it is no secret that there are nobles standing behind the Chamber of Commerce, and many merchants began to hoard military supplies a few months ago.
"Throw it now? Could it be early, lately, the price of consumables such as trauma medicine and feathers has risen rapidly, so why not wait for a few days? ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to start throwing materials, Lehman suddenly felt a little painful and said, how much did he lose this early.
"If you want to die, you can throw it later, it just hasn't reached the peak yet, there will be many families willing to take over, just go at the current price." Bohn said lightly, "Don't be too greedy, be content, remember to erase our information in the transaction, and don't let people find out that we are involved." ”
Lehman was shocked.
"Boss, you said that the military will carry out a purge this time?"
"No, it must be!"
Since the military first attacked the merchants, it will do this every twenty or thirty years, but after that, it hides a lot, and the back of the military can indeed make a lot of money, especially some people start to float after they become bigger, thinking of ways to pit the military's money in disguise, really the military is a fool, the military is raising pigs.
Hussein is notoriously poor, this time in order to build an alchemy workshop in the barracks, promised so many generous conditions, he must be going to kill pigs, I don't know how many merchants will be unlucky this time, but he can't be caught.
Seeing Bohn say this, Lehman knew that this matter must not have run away, the military system and the government system of Nether are completely separated, and even the rights of the military are even greater, and the nobles must have military merits to be knighted.
Therefore, many nobles will not become businessmen, they will find agents, which is also used as a buffer, and there are people who will top the tank if something happens.
Nether is a typical city-state system (see Mirijian), King Nether is only the ruler standing in the foreground, and the real manipulators are various aristocratic families led by the Abbot of Congenio.
Large cities such as Habrigi and Jernis can even make their own laws without violating the laws of Nether.
The kingdom Nether is just an elected ruler, and if you don't obey, you will be replaced in minutes.
As for the temple, it has not interfered with the power of human beings yet, and it is not like the crazy circle of people who engage in faith like in the later period.
The current priests are still very casual, although they will also highly respect their gods, but they will not do too much, at least there will not be a situation where the cow does not drink water and presses his head to brainwash wildly.
Most of the local gods of Nether are the earliest ancient gods, all of them are innate and divine and do not need the power of faith at all, and they are even stronger (elves and dwarf gods are considered foreign gods, and they are all second-generation gods of average strength, and they are still very obedient under the noses of several bigwigs).
Therefore, most of the gods nowadays are more salty, and faith is dispensable to them, and they generally only do things according to their own preferences, such as Nether was favored by Amanata during the founding period, and he will be blessed.
