Chapter 307: Busy
Hearing that Edgar asked him to pay, Wang Yong asked Edgar suspiciously: "When you came, Phoebe and Shirley didn't allocate any funds to you or anything?"
Edgar shook his head and said, "I was in a hurry, and no one remembered it. ”
Wang Yong's face was full of astonishment, and then he said in frustration: "To tell you the truth, I don't have any money, only a few dozen silver coins." ”
Edgar saw that Wang Yong was speaking seriously, not like a joke, so he also looked at Wang Yong with a stunned face, he didn't expect that Wang Yong was such a big lord who had no money, and Edgar didn't know what to do.
After a while, Wang Yong said weakly: "After I go back, I will ask Shirley to transfer some funds to you, and you will have to go back to the base to get the money when you can't use it, right?" ”
Edgar said with a bitter face: "How can these refugees have so many gold coins? Besides, my local magistrate has just arrived here to borrow money from everywhere, and the reputation of the territory is not very good." ”
Wang Yong said depressedly: "Damn, what should I do? You can't let me kill people for a few gold coins." ”
Just when Wang Yong and Edgar were at a loss, Abraham said, "My lord, I think we might as well go and raid Zack's house, he should still have some gold coins there." ”
Wang Yong's eyes lit up, and he said with a wicked smile: "Lead the way." Abraham nodded, and strode into the fishing village, followed by Wang Yong. When Edgar saw the speed of the two, he was very self-aware and chose to stay and appease the laborers.
When Wang Yong and Abraham returned with their arms dangling, a group of laborers happened to be lining up with Edgar and a dozen militia members, listening to Edgar's speech.
Originally, there were still a few laborers who were already waiting impatiently, shouting for Edgar to pay their wages quickly, but when they saw Wang Yong coming, they all turned into wilted eggplants, hiding in the crowd and not daring to say a word.
Wang Yong's deterrent effect of cutting off the heads of Zack's guards in public was quite large, and those who saw it with their own eyes were all afraid and afraid of Wang Yong.
Wang Yong gave Edgar a scissorhands, indicating that the gold coins were in hand. Although Edgar didn't understand the meaning of scissorhands, he could tell from Wang Yong's expression what the result of the raid was. Edgar stopped ordering speeches that he himself felt unaware. Walked to Wang Yong's side.
Wang Yong took out a cloth bag and handed it to Edgar and said, "There are a hundred gold coins here, just use it as your liquidity." Also, in the future, it is important to pay attention to the fact that some things may not necessarily develop according to common sense or convention, so before deciding to do something, you should think about the remedies and remedies after the mistakes, and you can't do it like today. If it weren't for Zack's bastard and a few bucks, we'd be in a big mess. Edgar's face turned red when Wang Yong said it, and he kept nodding his head yes.
Wang Yong didn't blame Edgar either, he just talked about things, and what he said to Edgar was also a reminder to himself. Think twice before you make any decision, plan before you act.
Wang Yong didn't care about the next payment, although all the money handed over to Edgar was gold coins, and Wang Yong felt that there was no need to participate in such a trivial matter as silver coins and sending them to each laborer.
Wang Yong motioned for Edgar to go back with the laborers, while he himself circled around the two big pits, frowning and calculating, always feeling that something was missing.
After a while, Wang Yong remembered. The pit also needs to be leveled and reinforced with cement. Wang Yong slapped himself hard. Just now, he was shyly preaching to Edgar, and now he has made a similar mistake.
Wang Yong took a sneak look. Luckily Edgar had left, otherwise he would have been left home.
Abraham was told to come and find the finishing touches on the construction workers, and he was asked to find some people to help, and Wang Yong personally went to the warehouse and fetched a large amount of cement and steel bars, as well as a lot of high-quality river sand.
By the time Wang Yong had returned with enough materials, Abraham was already waiting with a large group of people next to the tank, pointing at the two large pits.
Wang Yong didn't explain much, called the construction workers, and said his request, and the workers understood what Wang Yong meant. It wasn't a difficult task for them, as the amount of work was relatively large compared to their manpower, but with the help of the dozens of militiamen brought by Abraham, it was not a problem.
Time passed little by little, and at noon, with everyone's efforts, one of the sewage tanks had been reinforced with reinforced concrete into a square cement tank, and on the south side of the cement tank, there was also a gap for the future connection pipeline.
Next, all the workers began to work on another large pit, and Wang Yong helped them drain the water in the cement, and at the same time took out an incredible number of crystals, and used space magic to spread the entire sewage tank.
Looking at the rapidly decreasing spar in the ring, Wang Yong felt a pain in his flesh, but there was no other way, because it was the most convenient and fast to use the spar to engrave the magic array, and the key was that it could withstand high temperatures.
Wang Yong was busy working on both sides alone, and after the magic array and formation were ready, Wang Yong first started the magic array and tried it to make sure that the magic array was working normally, and then covered the sewage pool, added a purification magic circle, and then according to the standards of the base sewage pool, let the workers build a cement cover for external protection on it, and finally Wang Yong went to lay a spar and magic array on another sewage tank.
In this way, by the time the two tanks were completed, it was almost midnight.
Wang Yong threw Abraham ten gold coins, asked him to divide them among the workers and those who helped, and asked him to transfer the use of the sewage tank and two intermediate fire attribute magic crystals to Edgar, and then ran to the Thunder Eagle who had been waiting for him, found the scout who controlled the Thunder Eagle, and hurriedly left the fishing village.
Wang Yong left in a hurry, and Edgar, who hurriedly finished his work, only saw Wang Yong's back from a distance.
Wang Yong really didn't want to see Edgar, because he had sworn that he would complete the construction of the sewage tank before noon, but he worked until midnight, and this person Wang Yong felt embarrassed in front of Edgar. Also, Wang Yong was really afraid that Edgar would find something to do for himself, so Wang Yong left in such a hurry.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when he returned to the asphalt Hu base, it was not yet dawn, and Wang Yong felt a little tired after not sleeping for several days, so he asked the patrolling soldiers to find an uninhabited villa for himself, and fell asleep on the bed.
Wang Yong is indeed very tired, from the time he set off to the fishing village to now, not only has he not rested for a few days, but he has also set up a magic array of a water tower and two sewage pools with his own strength, the consumption of spiritual power is quite huge, and Wang Yong's divine consciousness has not healed, such a toss, Wang Yong also feels that his divine consciousness is a little faintly painful.
When Wang Yong woke up, it was almost dinner time, Wang Yong stretched comfortably, walked into the bathroom, opened the water valve and tried it, and sure enough, the water was already on. After a simple wash, Wang Yong also went to the toilet, tried the effect of flushing the toilet, and then walked out of the villa with a satisfied expression, and asked the soldiers guarding the door to inform the various supervisors to go to the meeting hall.
After the senior management of the base arrived, everyone had a meeting while eating a still shabby dinner. The theme of this meeting is very simple, in addition to everyone reporting their work, Wang Yong also put on the table all kinds of omissions found during this trip to the fishing village, so that everyone can use them as a reference and take warning.
During the meeting, Daisy reported on the preliminary results of her negotiations with Miss Ruth of the Ramos Chamber of Commerce.
The Ramos Chamber of Commerce will open various shops in various well-established villages in the seaside province in the shortest possible time, and in the coastal city and other areas where the Acropolis is not completed, the Ramos Chamber of Commerce will also send a large number of mobile caravans to ensure the circulation and supply of goods and daily necessities in the territory, and the preferential treatment given to them by the territory is tax exemption for one year.
Daisy also mentioned that the Ramos Chamber of Commerce has shown great interest in cement and steel, and that they want to cooperate with the seaside province to produce it, and Daisy asked Wang Yong for his opinion.
Wang Yong's reply is that cement can cooperate with the Ramos Chamber of Commerce, but steel production technology will not cooperate with foreign countries in the near future. Wang Yong also proposed to buy all kinds of scrap iron at the price of ten silver coins per catty, as well as a large number of spars, no matter what the attributes.
After Daisy got Wang Yong's reply, she talked about the next step in her negotiations with the Ramos Chamber of Commerce, and also mentioned that several small chambers of commerce came to inquire about doing business in the seaside province.
Wang Yong didn't understand this, so he waved his hand and let Daisy watch it herself. Finally, he also asked Daisy to form a trade caravan and go to neighboring countries such as the Eternal Empire and the Lawson Empire to buy spars, scrap iron and other materials.
After that, Steward Hal reported the reserves of various materials, which made Wang Yong feel a headache. Because construction began in various places, the consumption of materials has risen sharply, and the material warehouses have been basically emptied.
The materials produced by each production base every day are only enough to maintain daily consumption, and they are unable to reserve materials at all. This situation would only be alleviated if the cement plant on the side of West Asia started production and there were enough materials for steelmaking.
Shirley reported that because the territory has no income, and the current labor force is increasing, a large amount of capital is needed every day, plus the purchase of various materials, the territory has little money left, and if there is no large amount of expenditure, it can be maintained for about half a year. Shirley asked Wang Yong to seize the time to determine the tax standard and start collecting taxes as soon as possible to enrich the finances of the territory.
Wang Yong took the three tax plans handed by Shirley, and after only looking at them for a while, he felt that his head was as big as a fight, and looked at Shirley for help.
Shirley gave Wang Yong a blank look, gave Wang Yong an expression that she knew you would be, and then handed Wang Yong a tax plan, which was the result of Shirley and her subordinates combining the plans of the three Kennedy after deliberation.
After Wang Yong read it, he didn't understand it, but out of trust in Shirley, he decided to implement Shirley's plan, and agreed to Shirley's proposal to reward the three Kennedy. (To be continued.) )
