At least before this, Jun had never seen such a detailed and fair contract in Tower City, she only knew that the nobles would be more restrained when hiring Tower people, but the vagrants were usually treated as slaves by them, and it was a blessing to be able to eat enough, let alone those rewards and promises......

In particular, Sikong Ember and Li Li very solemnly put their handprints on the bottom of the contract, which means that they must abide by the above rules.

Obviously, Li Li could directly ask them to help mine ore for free, but he still insisted on drawing up such a contract...... Thinking of this, June's eyes gradually became enveloped in a layer of mist.

She looked at the Ember who had drafted these treaties with some nervousness, and for a moment, Juan seemed to understand why the believers always had tears in their eyes when they looked up at the Statue of Light.

With the help of Yao Tan, Zhu En carefully pressed his own handprints on each of the three contracts.

After getting this contract, Jun looked at Sikong Ember with great reverence in his eyes.

"Your Excellency, may I ask why you drew up such a contract? Most of this seems to be to protect the interests of our village, and it is not beneficial to you compared to the traditional Tacheng contract......"

Sikong Ember touched his white beard, and his eyes seemed to be looking in an unknown direction through the roof of the straw shed.

Then he spoke with a serious expression, and said something that no one in the room understood—

"We can't let those turtle capitalists continue to bring bad social atmosphere in the wizarding world!"

Chapter 38: Careless

June's village used to have no name, but because it was backed by the Vasco Mountains, it was called the Vasco Mountain Village.

In the entire village, only Zhu En and the old village chief could read and write, so it was naturally these two people who signed on behalf of the villagers.

The muscles on the old village's face trembled for a long time after reading this contract, and in the end, his expression turned out to be the same as that of Zhu En, and he didn't say anything for a long time, looking at Sikong Ash's eyes as if he was looking at a god for a while, and like a fool for a while.

Sikong Ember didn't mind, waved his hand at the old village chief, and motioned for him to read these contracts to the villagers who were building the wall outside: "You go and ask who is willing to come to mine first, and tell me the specific number of people." ”

The old village chief went to share the good news with the villagers with a flushed face, and when he went out, he stumbled because he was too excited.

Everyone was excited, except for Li Li.

Because she thought of a key question - there are people in the veins, there are miners, but where do the wages for the miners come from?

I don't know why, when I think of this, Li Li's back is slightly cold, and I always feel that I am going to encounter misfortune.

When she was in the Heavenly Sword Sect before, when the sect was short of money, she had to go to the mining cave......

Thinking of the tragic past, Li Li silently exited the warehouse and left the field of vision of Sikong Ash.

Inside the warehouse.

The wooden table and chair that Wells had just taken out had not yet been recovered, and there was even an extra chair on the opposite side, and a soft cushion was also laid on the chair, and a few delicate snacks were placed on the table at some point, if Li Li was still there, he would definitely be able to recognize that this was the half of the plate that Wells had quietly fed to his young master just now.

The personable treasurer very carefully carried Sikong Ember to the upholstered chair, then sat down opposite him, and pushed the snack towards Sikong Ember again.

"Your Excellency...... Can it be called that? Wells asked politely.

Sikong Ember replied lightly: "It's okay to be casual, the name is just a code." ”

This sentence made Wells sit up a little more correct, and after politely introducing the basic information to each other, he suddenly threw out a question: "Your Excellency, what do you think the future path of the Thorn Rose family should be?" ”

“……”

Sikong Ember was silent for a moment, how did he know how the Thorn Rose family was! The last time I heard this strange family name was on the day Collins first arrived in Heavenly Sword Village, and the only thing he knew was that this family was a mine boss! Wells was sure he knew what was going on!

After a while, Sikong Ember slowly raised his eyelids, summoned Yao Tan, and muttered in his ear.

Yao Tan was also confused, and translated it according to what Sikong Shen wanted to say: "He said that there was once a great man who taught him some truths, and he is willing to convey these proverbs to you, and I hope you can understand your own path from these words." ”

And so it was!

Wells knew that he was no ordinary vagrant just by looking at Sikong Ember's extraordinary temperament and the terms of the contract on the parchment, and the elegant and noble accent of the other party also revealed his mysterious origins, and his severed legs seemed to hide many thrilling stories...... Such a person does not have a profound background, Wells absolutely does not believe it!

He stood up first and bowed deeply to Sikong Ember: "On behalf of the Thorn Rose family, I would like to send my sincerest thanks to you and that great man. ”

Yao Tan cleared his throat, "The great man once said that everything that people struggle for is related to their interests. ”

Wells found himself a little confused about the meaning of the words, so he quickly pulled out a pamphlet and cautiously wrote it down first.

Sikong Ember muttered in Yao Tan's ear for a while.

Yao Tan opened his mouth to convey: "Besides, regret the past, it is better to fight for the future." ”

"And where there are no obligations, there are no rights."

"The great man also said......"

These seemingly simple words made Wells's expression gradually solemn, and he could understand the literal meaning of each sentence, but inexplicably, Wells tasted something deeper in these seemingly straightforward words.

He vaguely realized that this was beyond the existing concepts in Tacheng, but he couldn't understand it thoroughly for a while, so he could only carefully write down every word, preparing to study the hidden meaning of these words later.

After saying these few words, Sikong Ember stopped talking, leaving Wells to put away the contract and the small notebook as if he had found a treasure.

Soon, though, he pulled out a new roll of parchment.

Sikong Ember was a little big, and he was worried that the treasurer would pestering him to ask him professional questions such as what kind of mine should be mined by Thorn Rose.

God knows, he is only very good at mining and is very good at exploiting the potential of good miners (such as a certain senior sister Li who does not want to be named).

Unexpectedly, Wells just gracefully handed over the parchment and said sincerely: "I want to sign an employment contract with you, what do you think?" ”

Ember: "??? ”

……

By the time Li Li returned to the warehouse, Wells had already left with Collins, and Yao Tan and the old village chief had also carried Juan out to bask in the sun.

There are only two sword cultivators left in the warehouse.

So Li Li worriedly asked about the miners' wages, and by the way, he was alert: "I'm busy cultivating, don't you want me to go to the magic stone mine to dig!" ”

The next moment, she saw a disdainful but quite smug smile on the corner of her senior brother's mouth.

"Just a few magic stones, I don't need to make my junior sister tired to earn it, didn't Collins say that when our Heavenly Sword Sect can enter the top hundred, we will sponsor an additional magic stone vein in the name of the Thorn Rose Family?"

Li Li reminded with a wooden face; "However, we haven't even completed the assessment task for the establishment of the academy, let alone a hundred in advance. Where were the wages and bonuses raised before that? ”

If you want to become a regular academy and participate in the ranking competition, you must first complete the assessment task of hunting five high-level demonic beasts, but unfortunately Li Li has only encountered the stone monster so far, and she also wants to kill the remaining four high-level demonic beasts quickly, but she has not encountered the second high-level demonic beast for a while. After thinking about it, I can only blame the people in the Wallace Magic Academy for not being strong enough to attract a high-level magical beast, and look at how strong Melissa from the East Tower Comprehensive Academy next door is, she can make two magical beasts die for her at once.

"It's just a philosopher's stone, it's too simple."

Sikong Ember raised his wrist and handed a roll of parchment to Li Li, looking like an understatement: "I have just been hired by the Thorn Rose family as an advisor, every time Wells comes to me to consult a question, he will pay me a thousand magic stones, I have earned a thousand just now, you can go to Wells to receive it later." ”

Li Li took the parchment and didn't look at it, but asked curiously: "So what questions did Wells ask you for?" ”

Sikong Ember coughed lightly: "Look at it yourself, it's all written on it." ”

After writing this contract with great effort, Wells handed it directly to Sikong Ash, who was embarrassed to say that he couldn't recognize the words, and after understanding that the other party would give a generous reward if he only needed to consult questions, he quickly asked Yao Tan to sign it on his behalf.

Li Li, who is also illiterate: "......"

In the end, there was still no choice but to ask for help from the professional translator Yao Tan.

After Yao Tan came in, he picked up the parchment and turned it into an emotionless reading machine-

“…… The range of advisory questions includes, but is not limited to, finances, miner scheduling, talent selection, hair maintenance tips, body shape management, postpartum care of sows...... Well? ”

The parchment was really long enough, and Yao Tan's tongue was dry when he read it, and Sikong Ash's face turned blue when he heard it.

Good guy, the old guy named Wells is ready to use him as Baidu!

*

In the evening, the village chief of Mount Wasco came back with a red face to report the results.

"All the young people in the village are willing to sign up to become miners!"

In fact, it is not only young people who are willing to become miners, but also seven-year-old children and seventy-year-olds who want to join the ranks, not because they are well paid, but simply because they want to repay the kindness of saving lives.

However, the village chief did not count these people, and these villagers who lacked physical strength could help carry the waste stones out when the time came, or bring water and food to other miners, they must do what they should do, but their people in the Vasco Mountains owe people's lives, and they can't go to collect money anymore.

In any case, the nomadic villages are often uniformly rationed with supplies and coins, and there is no need to worry about the old people and children going hungry after doing their work, so it is good to give them some of the remuneration from the young people.

Sikong Ember didn't know what to discuss with Yao Tan, so he could only Li Li to explain to the village chief.

Fortunately, although she is not usually smart, she has a good brain in terms of money and fighting.

"Let's first calculate the price of miners in the regular ore veins of Tacheng, the daily reward for each person is ten silver coins, and at least one hundred complete waste rocks need to be excavated every day, and one silver coin will be reduced for every ten less pieces of waste rock dug up, and an additional silver coin will be rewarded for every ten more waste rocks dug up, is there a problem?"

The old village chief shook his head quickly: "No problem!" ”

This is too generous for the nomad, you know, most of the items bought and sold by the nomad are calculated according to the copper coins!

The old village chief also worked in the mine when he was young, and he was much luckier than Zhu En, and it was known as the most rewarding serious mine in Tacheng.

The wages there were only eight silver coins a day, and a hundred complete magic stones were to be mined, but if you didn't dig so much, you wouldn't get a single silver coin, and if you dig too much, you will get a reward: you can scoop an extra spoonful of paste from the cook at night.

Moreover, the Magic Stone Vein is often frequented by deadly robbers and thieves, and these losses need to be borne by miners like them.

As for digging up the rubble, then there is no need to worry at all, which robber has a bad brain to grab a pile of useless stones......

In fact, until now, the villagers have suspected that Li Li's real purpose is to preserve the self-esteem of the villagers of Vasco Mountain Village by hiring mining in addition to taking care of them.

They silently kept this gratitude in their hearts.

After talking about the completion money, the following questions become much simpler.

"The grain in our village is expected to be fully mature in a few days, and the food will be sent over at that time, so it's okay to drink the Bigu potion of Yao Tan first during this time, right?"

The village chief's tongue suddenly began to recall the terrible smell frantically, but he still nodded busily: "No problem, in fact, our village has its own food stock!" ”

"Yours and June will be in charge of the mines in the Vasco Mountains, and there's another bigger cave in the nearby Oudaiizo Mountains." Speaking of this, Li Li paused and frowned slightly.

The villagers of Tianjian Village have to stay in the village to build houses and grow vegetables and medicines, no one else can separate and mine except Goss, and the spirit stone mine in the Vasco Mountains also needs to be excavated by the villagers here, and now it seems that there is no way to mine the mines in the Oudayizo Mountains for the time being......

At this time, June, who had been lying on the side, suddenly spoke: "There are still a few villages around, why don't you ask the village chief if they are willing to go to the Goudaiizo Mountains to mine?" ”

The old village chief naturally had no objection to this, and he couldn't wait to help Li Li and them now, so the next day the sky showed a little light, so he put on his best set of clothes early, and went to the next village with high spirits and the morning dew all over the ground.

The sun was bright and dark, and it was not until the sunset was completely hidden among the mountains that the old village chief returned with a hobbling step.

After he saw Li Li, the expression on his face was embarrassed and ashamed, and a lot of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"What's wrong?"

The old village chief sighed and said guiltily: "I went to the two villages I know most well today, and we used to exchange food with them in the Vasco Mountain Village...... But as soon as I asked them if they wanted to mine, they kicked me out, and I said that I could earn ten silver coins a day by mining, and they said that I was sent by those damn black mine owners in Tacheng to cheat people. ”

Actually, I don't blame the villagers.
