Early the next morning, Rand continued his investigation.

However, his target this time was the factory workers, who had previously conducted an investigation in the factories of his own industry, but he was not very satisfied with the investigation, and some of the worker representatives who were called seemed to be suppressing something, and some followed the manager to pat him on the back, and took his questioning as an opportunity to curry favor with the small boss.

The results of the investigation in their own factory came to the conclusion that although the workers worked hard, they could still get by, which is not quite the same as what Nick and others revealed, in their mouths, the workers entering the factory are like throwing fruit into a juicing container, and there is not even the residue left.

Whether the Jimenez family is more special, or is it actually the general case, it is Nick and others who tell a lie, and Rand decides to investigate other factories and come to a more reliable conclusion.

However, having the experience of going to his own factory, he went to investigate this time and disguised himself as a reporter, claiming to have come to interview an injured worker.

Then, after he pretended not to find the imaginary worker, he naturally wanted to talk to someone.

However, he immediately found out that it was different from his own factory, first of all, he couldn't enter the workshop of the factory at all, he could only go around outside, and he could only name any worker he wanted to find, and the entrances and exits of those workshops had powerful orc security guards, and he was not allowed to visit casually, and it was impossible to imagine that he was as comfortable as when he visited his own factory before.

Rand wandered outside unwillingly, hoping to find a way.

At this moment, someone clashed with the security guard of the factory, and he seemed to want to get out. But he was stopped by several orc security guards. He was then easily pushed to the ground. It's about to take a full beating.

Rand realized that the opportunity had come, and he strode forward and rebuked him in righteous words: "What do you want to do? Does this factory still restrict the personal freedom of others? If so, I will definitely publish it in the newspaper." ”

Among the several orc security guards, there are Peaks, two Wolfe-like, and one is from the Kawu clan, but Wolf's bloodline is pure, so I don't know. After these orc races joined Asturias, they intermarried with the Terrans, especially Wolf and Rhine, the young of them are actually very popular with women of other races, including Terran women are also easy to be infatuated with them, the two members of Guns and Roses, Dagu and Vader, are examples, if Flesh and Bone can conceive the children of idols, they will feel very honored, even if the child's father does not admit it or does not remember, there is no shortage of female fans who took the initiative to give birth.

But such children often do not do well when they grow up. Maybe one of these orc security guards is like this.

Of course, this is not what Rand cares about. Now he just wants to stop the worker who wants to get out of the workshop from being beaten, and then he can take the opportunity to establish a friendship.

"Stop. A voice that was not high stopped the impulse of these security guards in time, Rand saw a real Fawkes, this is one of the very few orcs who can enter the top management of the enterprise, Fawkes is more suitable for managers than Munk, Munk people are also very smart, in the early interaction between the human race and the orcs, the Munk people showed their communication skills and no less than the wisdom of the human race, but compared to Fox, the Munk people have a natural weakness in character, they are slippery, they are easy to lose their breath, lack of patience, in the past hundred years of social development, the Munk people's status in the orc tribes is rising, but most of the successful people are engaged in pure business, like to resellEven if there are those engaged in manufacturing, most of them are small and medium-sized industrialists, who lack the courage to do great things, and in the implementation of long-term plans, it is easy to see long-term benefits, and lose opportunities for quick success.

Fawkes is different, there are still a few big business owners in Fawkes who can be named in Asturias, one or two of them are no less wealthy than the Jimenez family, a miraculous rise of the rich family, and they still have a long history and reputation in Fawkes, and even the kingdom recognizes them as a famous family among the orcs, which is not comparable to the Jimenez family for the time being.

Putting aside these few most successful examples, the Fox are the most popular and hired managers among the orcs in all trades, and their integration in Asturias is not as good as Munk, Rhine, and Wolf on the surface, but in reality it is not like that, just relatively low-key, and the number is not as good as the three tribes, but the ratio can be seen.

In addition to the old people who still remain in the West Beast Plains and choose to become priests for life, many Fawkes either established various companies and enterprises that were connected to the kingdom's economy, and they quickly learned some things about the Terrans, including management and exploitation, or went to the inland cities to join the factories and companies of Asturias.

And as many as 70 percent of these Fox people are middle-level or above managers in the company, which alone may show that Fox is not only deeply integrated, but also quite successful.

Therefore, in many factories, Fox is often an accountant, if not a manager-type middle manager.

And the Fox in front of him, dressed like a gentleman, can dress like this in the factory, it is estimated that at least the position of manager, no wonder as soon as he spoke, several security guards immediately stopped.

"This gentleman, who are you? I think you misunderstood, how can we arbitrarily restrict the personal freedom of others, this is not allowed by the kingdom, but the laws of the kingdom will also protect the rights and interests of the factory, this person did not finish today's work, he wanted to go out, this violated the contract he agreed, he stopped working alone, but our production line stopped stopping for half an hour. Manager Fox began to speak softly, and then became more and more harsh.

"I'm a journalist......." Rand newspaper said his fake identity, and after saying this identity, Manager Fox's small eyes narrowed and became wary.

However, before the two could fight again, they were interrupted by the worker.

"So what, I've decided to quit, I'm quitting, it's okay. The worker who had almost been beaten got up from the ground and shouted.

"Very well, then you are now dismissed, but according to the contract between us. You didn't finish your job today. So you won't get a penny of your salary today. Manager Fox said viciously. Then he said to the security guards, "Alright, don't let him come in again." ”

He said to Rand in a slightly slower tone: "Mr. Reporter, I think you have nothing to say about this kind of treatment." ”

Manager Fox took the two security guards and walked into the workshop.

The worker grinned, raised his fist and danced behind the manager's back, whispering, "Don't be complacent, you have to know how good we are." ”

Rand accompanied the worker out of the factory gates. Then he found a remote corner and stopped, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hello, my name is Rand, can you talk?"

"Of course, my name is Adolf, thank you for speaking for me. The worker sat down casually in the shade of a tree, took out a pack of two or three cigarette cases from his pocket, took one from it and handed it to Rand, and when he was refused, he put it in his mouth.

"You almost got beaten just now, what's going on?" Rand asked casually.

"Are you really a journalist?" the worker remembered who Rand claimed to be.

"Taloid reporters only. I was going to come over and cover the news of a worker's injury, but I found out that I got the wrong place. Rand said.

"What's the point of such news. What factory doesn't happen every day?" Adolf shook his head.

"So, can you tell me about your work, you just said that workers are often injured, maybe I can publish an article to talk about you. ”

Adolf glanced at Rand, probably for the sake of him having helped him just now, and nodded, "Well, what do you want to know?"

Seeing that he had finally opened his mouth, Rand perked up and hurriedly asked some questions he wanted to investigate.

Then he learned from this Adolphus that he did not see a lot during the inspection of his own factory, for example, in the factory of St. Quentin, the work intensity is very large, generally maintained at more than 12 hours, even child labor is no exception, not the 10-hour system said by the manager of Rand's own factory, and there are no rest days, as long as the specified time is not on duty, the money will be deducted, if there is no good person to take the post, resulting in the shutdown of the whole line as the manager of Fox just said, then the worker's wages for that day must be gone, and he may be required to compensate for the loss, if he can't compensate, then he will suffer and be thrown into prison again。

Fortunately there was Rand today, otherwise Adolf might have ended up like this. The intensity of the work in this factory is far from the rhythm of Rand's visit to his own factory, in Adolf's words, his job is the action of tightening a part of the screw in the production line, which he often unconsciously does at home after work, and sometimes even dreams of doing this action.

The use of child labor is also relatively common, children as young as 12 years old may enter the factory, although the law stipulates that children under the age of 14 are not allowed to be employed, but every factory owner who wants to make money will more or less ignore it, secretly hire some, because child labor needs to pay the least wage, but their labor intensity can reach 80% of adults.

At such high intensity, even if accidents and lack of safety protection are not taken into account, workers will have physical problems.

As for the place where the workers live and live, it is slightly better than what Rand saw in Nick, because the workers are not unemployed after all, and many of them often come from a background away from home, and they are the only ones who need to support themselves for the time being, so people like Adolphus dare to say that they will stop doing it if they don't do it, and they can smoke cheap cigarettes every day.

But in Adolf's description, the living conditions of these workers are still unsatisfactory, and Rand's current rented residence for his lover, Lady Sarah, and her daughter, is a paradise.

The workers usually live in compounds or basements, and the eight or nine members of the Binick family live in illegal buildings built of improvised wood, less than twenty square meters, and the per capita living area is much better, and there are tens of thousands of such compounds or basements in San Quentin, narrow, dark, damp, full of filthy discards, smelling urine and urine at any time, and basically no sewers.

These places are full of disease, poverty, and high crime rates, and although the settlements seem to be in a similar situation, there are always scoundrels and drunkards who will try to take advantage of others. There are also thieves and prostitutes, the latter of whom can do business in such places, most of them are old and decrepit, and in the middle of the night they will stand at the corner of the street to pull the late workers, the cheapest of which can be snapped for only two silver coins, but it is likely that she will infect people with a disease.

Lady Sarah returned from the shipwreck and lived in such a compound at first, but fortunately Rand found her in time, and then the ambiguous relationship between the two saved the mother and daughter.

Rand was shocked and did not forget to record in time, when he found that his handwriting speed could not keep up with Adolf's speech, he simply connected directly to the Arcane Skynet, and then directly converted what he heard there on the private page he paid.

Adolf kept saying that he also mentioned himself.

It turns out that his ancestors are from Yugudral, and his grandfather used to have a ranch of his own, but it was destroyed by the tide of Warcraft and there is nothing left, and his father once tried to rebuild the family business, and after the Warcraft was almost destroyed, he found a new wasteland and opened up a dairy farm.

However, when the family business gradually recovered, the price of milk fell sharply, and in order to maintain the future milk price, they had to throw away the milk that could not be sold, and even slaughtered some cows, but even this still did not survive.

As a result, Adolf went from being the son of a small dairy farmer to a worker, and Yugudral's position in the Suzerain's membership system with Asturias as the core was slightly special, because the Warcraft tide brought by Purgatory interrupted the complete conquest of Yugudral, which was not like Fadell, and there were semi-independent native native kingdoms, but most of them adopted a cooperative attitude towards foreign invaders.

The Asturias workers are probably not as much native as the outsiders combined, and the Fadel, Black Rock Dwarves, Yogudral, Farusion, and a number of other colonial or semi-colonial workers who have been conquered or are being conquered have been hired to work in the factories here.

When they came to Saint-Quentin or other cities, they were shocked by the prosperity and sophistication of these places, but as Adolf lamented, "they are all very good, but they do not belong to us." “

They usually come in groups, working during the day and living in the compounds and basements at night, but they are not citizens of Asturias, or the native Asturians who are not citizens of the same way as they are, are much better off because at least the Asturians are free to move or move.

Once they lose their jobs and walk out of their permanent residence and are found to have no birth records, the consequences are unpredictable, and they may be sent back to their original places, but before that, they have to work hard in a prison factory for a year, because they need to pay for the transmission fee to send them back.

"We produce bread, but we can't even afford bread, we build locomotives, but we don't ride freely. The world is so ridiculous. Adolf said indignantly, as if he wanted to say something, but he endured it again and again.

Then he asked again if Rand was really a journalist, and after receiving the same reply, he said decisively: "Then let me tell you one thing, if you are prepared to report it, you may be promoted for it, and we can get help." “

"What's the matter?" Rand felt that the trip had been very rewarding.

"We are ready for a general strike, we have to fight for our rights, and we have been secretly linked for about half a month, and the agreed time is tomorrow. Adolf whispered, "If you can, you'll interview us tomorrow, and that's good for everyone." (To be continued.) )
