The Dictatorial Lords

Zhang Zhao smiled and said, "My lord, don't we have steam trucks now? Let's set the price according to one train. How about setting the purchase price of each train mineral at 5 gold coins? Take iron ore as an example. Minerals from trains, we process them into finished products and sell them for more than 80 gold coins. No matter how lazy these people are, can each person collect at least one train per day? This is much better than working as a temporary worker."

Locke nodded, Zhang Zhao was even better than him in this respect. In terms of these raw materials, even Hal can't compare. It can be regarded as calculating people. It works just as well for doing business.

"Then, exploration team, wait for your team members to come back and practice for a month. You have worked hard during this time."

"Yes, my lord, I thank you for your concern on behalf of the team members."

Locke and Zhang Zhao came to Locke's office and saw Sister Wei Na imitating the appearance of the old housekeeper in the office. Taking care of the flowers and plants, these are all taught by the old housekeeper. Although there are no beautiful flowers and plants in the Weigerut wilderness, it is still very nice to decorate the office with colorful flowers.

I saw Locke and Zhang Zhao coming in. The two sisters hurriedly saluted. Except for the tenderness in Locke's eyes, no matter how you look at it, she looks like a qualified little maid.

Who is Zhang Zhao? Of course I know these tricks. But it's better to pretend not to know about the city lord.

Locke sat on the sofa, and Zhang Zhao sat opposite. He told Wei Na, "Weina, I will ask Zhang Zhao to give you an announcement, and you will tell the people in Orz City. From now on, they will have something to do."

"Okay, my lord." Wei Na smiled softly.

Zhang Zhao ignored them, went straight to the office and picked up the pen. On the parchment, he wrote his allocation and pricing of the mine veins, as well as transportation matters, and of course, told people that the mine was guarded by a squad of knights.

If there is no protective force, these people may not be willing to go. After all, it is hundreds of kilometers away from Orz, who knows what will happen.

I saw that Zhang Zhao had finished writing. Wei Lian rang the big iron bell outside the office balcony of the City Lord's Mansion. When the bell rang, people would know that the City Lord's Mansion had something to announce. People who have nothing to do can go to the square to gather.

This big iron clock was made by Locke and Hal. Every time something is announced, someone is sent to call it, which seems a bit slow in efficiency. With this big iron clock, both manpower and material resources, as well as time, have been greatly reduced. This aspect is still very convenient.

The idle people in Aurz heard the sound of the iron bell, and they all knew that it was the city lord's mansion that was about to announce something. This is how they were called the last few times. are used to it.

Wait until Zhang Zhao handed over the written announcement to Wei Na. Looking out of the office. The square is almost full of people of all races.

Take the announcement written by Zhang Zhao. Wei Na walked downstairs quickly.

On the high platform, Wei Na smiled and said: "I believe everyone is a little curious. What is the reason for the city lord's mansion to call you this time? Here, what I want to tell you is that this event is a good thing for you. Yes The benefits that the city lord seeks for everyone, originally, this matter should be handed over to Minister Hal. You also know that the city lord rarely intervenes in commercial matters, for your welfare. This time the city lord has to shot."

The people below were confused. I have no idea what Wei Na is talking about. After talking for a long time, I didn't get to the point. Anyway, they knew one thing from the beginning to the end, and this time the city lord helped them obtain certain benefits.

So the following couldn't help asking: "Miss Wei Na, tell me quickly, what benefits did the Lord City Master gain for us this time?"

Wei Na didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "I believe everyone knows that the reason why we have so many merchants in Orz is that we have things that are not available outside. But do you know how these things come from? Yes, these things It’s a kind of mineral buried in the ground. It’s formed after we process it. Whether it’s iron ore or coal, it’s all this kind of thing.”

Hearing Wei Na tell such a secret, the people below are not calm. They never imagined that the coal and iron ore they are using now are underground.

If it is iron ore, they might know a little bit more. After all, these things belong to the nobles, and the production of iron ore is to find some stones. It's impossible for them to know.

But now they are told that the coal they often use is underground. They never thought of it.

Wei Na thought that the people below had already begun to struggle with how this thing was formed. So he said: "Don't worry about how these things are formed. You just need to know that this kind of thing is underground. Now that we in Orz have discovered a large vein of this kind, we need the help of people who have not yet worked stably. Development, this is also the benefit that the city lord has given you, how can you say it is a benefit? Now everyone knows about steam trucks, right? The price given by the city lord for this primitive mineral-train is 5 gold coins."

Wei Na just said that this mineral is worth 5 gold coins per train, and everyone became excited. They never thought that the city lord would buy such a thing for 5 gold coins per cart. No wonder Miss Wei Na said that the city lord helped everyone to obtain it. If it falls into the hands of Mr. Hal, then it must be done by the workers of the Ministry of Commerce, and it is their turn.

Seeing the excited people below, Wei Na said: "How is it? What do you think of the job that the city lord has won for everyone? I know that many people in Orz have no stable jobs, and they still have to support a family. Little, although the gold coins you get can maintain the expenses of the family, we are not the same as before. Orz is getting stronger and stronger, but your living standards should also be improved, and the city owner wants to do it for you Find a stable job."

After getting excited, the people below asked again: "Miss Wei Na, how many mine veins are there this time? You must know that there are at least 300,000 people in Auerz who don't have stable jobs. Can we let so many Has the person stabilized?" Then came the question. The excited people below also realized that if this mine can't support the work of so many people, will they lose the jobs they had so hard to get in the near future?

Wei Na smiled and said: "Please rest assured, the ore veins discovered by our exploration team this time are enough for hundreds of thousands of people to mine for many, many years. According to the estimation of the exploration team leader, this time the ore veins will allow you to work for decades. No problem."

The people below felt relieved after hearing Wei Na's words.

"Then, I have already told you about the matter. If you are willing to mine, please go to the Ministry of Commerce to grade it tomorrow. Oh. One more thing, this time the ore lode appeared in the southern region, hundreds of kilometers away from us in Auerz, as you all know It's no man's land. The environment is harsh. You have to be mentally prepared."

"Haha, Miss Wei Na, you don't need to worry at all. As long as we have a stable job, it doesn't matter if the environment is bad. I believe in the city owner. We can mine in shifts. There are a few young adults in my family."

Wei Na nodded and left the square.
