Transmigration of the bastard lord

Chapter 39 The fat baron who absconded with money

The existing management system requires the secretaries of each company to pay their salaries in person to avoid possible "salary demands" incidents in the future; after all, Fu Youguang is not so assured of the conduct of future "capitalists".

The two companies that have produced profits, of course, are earned by the Earl, the John Construction Company and the "Kaba Brothers Flame Company" of the goblins, and their income has always been paid directly.And now, the fat baron did not live up to Sieg Frandi's comment on him: "petty greed".In short, after the payment for the first phase of the project was delivered, the guy who got the "huge sum" ran back to Amp City with a bag of gold coins on the pretext of visiting his family.The two dispatch secretaries assigned to the construction company only found out about it after a day.

Fu Youguang couldn't laugh or cry, the money was actually not much, but it was enough for the fat baron to set up another construction team. His construction team was originally composed of half workers and half slaves.

The fat baron, who had entered the castle system full of joy, was suddenly dumbfounded after spending several days understanding the so-called "management rules" and "employee work regulations".Ask him, a pampered nobleman, to eat and live with those slaves, which he can't do in the first place.But when he realized that he actually wanted to pay the slaves he bought, he also set a minimum wage limit and asked the castle to send secretaries to pay the wages in person. This completely blocked the way for him to black out the wages of slaves. , the fat baron went berserk and quit.With the idea of ​​giving these belongings to the lord as a big deal, this guy ran away with the project money.

Fu Youguang, who squinted his dead eyes, finished reading the report handed in by the secretary, his mouth was so crooked that he couldn't turn his head back.Vivienne mentioned whether to cut off the wages of employees when distributing project funds, and the secretary will pay directly at the end of the month; but Fu Youguang did not agree after consideration.The castle itself took away the opportunity of salary payment, which allows the owner to win the favor of the employees, and also intervened in the management of other people's funds, which greatly affected the enthusiasm and initiative of the owner.Fu Youguang, who has experience in modern life, is very clear about what kind of situation will be caused by those in power who intervene too much in the internal management of the company.Although the current system is not perfect, he can't let go too much, but it is necessary to give appropriate incentives to the owners.

But now, after the absconding incident of Baron York John's donation, Fu Youguang found that he still had a big problem: he was too naive to see things.

People supervise the owner's industry, but they do not supervise the owner itself; due to various reasons, they have not really cared about the economic interests of the owner and the castle system.In his previous cognition, this construction team of more than 40 people would think that this is an industry that cannot be discarded; but in this world where labor is cheap and even human life is cheap, what is needed to form such an "industry" The expenditure is far from reaching the level that can force a nobleman to sweat and participate in labor.

In short, Fu Youguang hoped to use future income and possible glory to bind this somewhat enterprising baron who was born in John's family; but the fat baron did not accept his "good intentions".York John, who refused to go to work every day like a slave, was evaluated by Seager as a guy with "insignificant greed and arrogance", and fled with a small anger at being insulted to the noble reputation.

One of the two secretaries is standing in the room now, and this lovely young lady who looks very young has a guilty look on her face: "It's my job mistake, Mr. Earl. Mr. John always finds one or another excuse not to Ken showed up at the construction site and we were so neglectful of him...I...I'm sorry..."

Miss Secretary's hair is a bit disheveled, her skin is tanned, her eyes are black and bloodshot.This is a woman who is working hard, and no one can blame her hard.Even Ms. Nina, who has always been fierce, comforted her in a low voice: "Don't blame yourself dear, it was the pig who gave up his job. He doesn't have the right to make a lady like you cry for him."

Hearing Ms. Nina's unscrupulous evaluation of a nobleman, Mr. Davis, who was sitting next to the earl, almost exploded.Of course, he also despises such a lord who is only a baron, but it is really shameless and uneducated for a lady to speak evil words in front of her husband!

Davis was burning with rage, but the pain was too painful to express.The savage creature currently occupying the earl's body cannot be expected to discipline the earl's wives and concubines... Or rather, this guy is the culprit for indulging these women!

Vivienne obviously didn't want to see Miss Secretary being accused, so she quickly changed the subject and said to Fu Youguang very seriously: "My lord, John only took away his two guards, and the other workers We've all been left behind. Now the workers are panicking, they've come to me in the morning - they want to stay here and work."

"I know what you're worried about, Vivienne. Don't worry, the John Construction Company still exists, and the employees will continue to work." Fu Youguang pretended to be changed naturally, "We need a The consensus is that it was York John who gave up his job, only he himself gave up his job, but his family may not be as short-sighted as him."

Vivienne frowned suspiciously, and she was often slower in developments that were not planned; but Nina understood, and answered with a smile: "We understand, Lord Earl. The construction company will resume work as usual."

Fu Youguang glanced at Nina appreciatively, the combination of these two ladies is indeed very good.One is more impatient but responsive, and the other is slower but steady; although there are disputes from time to time, they are still good working partners.

After leaving the ladies' office building, Fu Youguang, who had figured out the key points, walked with ease, and talked with Sig in his heart: "That fat man skips work every day, and I am also annoyed by the constant reports of condemnation against him. Just run away, it's not a bad thing. Find a time to go to the city and go to their house to change to a more obedient person in charge."

"Oh, are you going to show off your power?" Seeger said indifferently.

"It's really not fun to talk to a smart person like you, won't you agree with me and ask me 'why'?" Fu Youguang educated Sig, "A guy like you who can't chat must have no friends, right? .”

"Idiot. Why don't you pretend to be panicked and ask me what to do, I will teach you how to do it slowly after despising your IQ, how about it?"

"..."

"It's just a superficial trick to scare chickens and monkeys. You deliberately mentioned it because you want me to appear on the stage for a while." Sig Frandi said lazily, "It's a little trick at the house level. I don't know. You can only think of this now, what are you proud of?"

"...You are right. After all, you are a master. Just like our current situation, you can't do practical things, and you can't pretend to force me. Reasonable distribution, work is not tiring." Fu Youguang rolled his eyes in return.

"..."

Well, if they weren't trapped in the same body, these two guys are destined to not be able to play happily together.

After the lunch break, Fu Youguang "escorted" Mr. Bingley, who seemed to be about to cry at any time, back to the breeding facility, while the dark-faced Mr. Davis also got into the brick room where the magic circle was set up.

At the post-dinner meeting that day, Fu Youguang asked Vivienne to inform Ren and Steven Simon to have an afternoon free two days later to accompany the Earl into Amp City.In the next two days, he ran between the breeding facility and the lake. On the one hand, he had to watch Mr. Bingley not give him a chance to be lazy, and on the other hand, he was urging Davis to describe the progress of the magic circle.After all, the warm and breathable magic circle in the duck house is imminent.

To the southwest of the farm, there is a small lake that forms a three-point line with the farm and the forest. During the spring plowing, the water outlet connected to the river has been dug wide.After the first batch of cement came out, except for the office building dedicated to the ladies, the rest of the weight was used here.Now the cement-built water outlet looks like a miniature dam, and three layers of fine wire mesh are erected where the water flows to prevent the loss of fish.

Immediately after the completion of the construction of the miniature dam, a large number of fish fry were put in. These days, someone has been responsible for rafting on it and throwing in the collected chicken and duck droppings.When the ducks are officially stocked in the lake, there is no need to be so troublesome.

Mr. Davis finished drawing the magic circle in the breeding facility, and when he walked out of the brick house with weak legs, 2000 fluffy ducklings were also delivered.Under the hard-working lobbying of the liaison officer Borg, the Hunter Association patiently introduced the species from the southern orc kingdom, and hatched this batch of prairie ducks that are said to have originated from the Eastern Continent.

The one who transported the ducks back was the holy knight Steven Simon, who hadn’t been seen for a long time. This shrewd guy found that everyone around him was entrusted with heavy responsibilities, and the guy Bentley was so miserable that he was stared at by the earl to raise bugs. Tactfully chose to be transparent.If it hadn't been for the Earl calling him back this time, he would have been stuck in Ampu City for eternity.

Fu Youguang rubbed his hands excitedly to welcome these little creatures, and moved the cages containing ducklings to the duck house with the staff of the breeding company by himself.Seeing this, the conscious Daniel also followed up to help.Steven Simon, who was wearing a shining armor and holding his helmet in one hand and holding on to the hilt of his sword in the other, wanted to stand a little further away and pretend not to see it; but the second concubine who was escorting him also jumped out of the car excitedly. When he got out of the cage, he couldn't stretch himself any longer.

After placing the 2000 ducklings, Fu Youguang and the second concubine happily talked about the duck breeding plan, while Steven Simon next to him wanted to cry for the armored duck SHI.

Well, it is Mr. Davis who is more difficult than him.He stayed up all night to complete the drawing of the magic circle in three days. He had just taken a shower and was about to sleep when he was called to the duck room...

Fu Youguang's schedule was so tight that only Steven, who had a little bit of a cleanliness, was allowed to change his armor, and then he took him and Ren who came back on purpose, and drove a carriage brought out from the castle by the concubines. , Headed to Anpu City for dignitaries.

Of course, it was Ren who drove the car, and a holy knight with a special status could not do things that were "disgraceful".Although Fu Youguang didn't see such bullshit in his eyes; but Steven was too smart, and he would never dangle in front of his eyes when something happened, and he had no chance to entrust him with "heavy tasks".

In order to show off his "privilege", now Fu Youguang is wearing those layers of silk clothes that have not been touched since he was brought out of the castle.This thing is terribly cumbersome. After getting on the car, I just sit in the seat and don't want to move.No wonder that guy Seager is always lazy, wearing something like this for more than 20 years, no one's personality can't be lively.

Now the road from the farm to Amp City is wide and smooth. Although it is not as good as the asphalt road, this kind of big car can still run.The interior decoration of the carriage was as ostentatious as its appearance, and the degree of magnificence was not inferior to that of the living room in the castle.Fu Youguang sat on a large sofa with armrests, with a crystal liquid lamp on top of his head, and handmade carpets under his feet; totem paintings of the orc kingdom were hung on the carriage, purple tassel curtains hung down to the floor, and the coral decorations beside the curtains were slightly exposed. with light.On the round table in front of him was a bottle of wine and a crystal wine glass, and the other crystal wine glass was held by a sad Steven.

Seeing Steven Simon on the opposite sofa with a melancholy face after just moving some duck cages, the corners of Fu Youguang's mouth twitched.This guy can't be left alone anymore. Fu Youguang doesn't like to see this kind of lazy so-called aristocrat.

For the safety of the Earl, Vivienne suggested that Davis be brought along.But considering the progress of the magic circle in the duck room, Fu Youguang refused.Now there is a third-tier warrior, a third-tier walker, and a holy knight; with the standing force of Anpu City, I am afraid that no one can attack the earl successfully.

"...my life is not as good as a few ducks." Sig Frandi said quietly.

"To some extent... Well, in order not to destroy our friendship, I don't suggest you get to the bottom of it." Fu Youguang said tactfully.

Before the road was built, it took at least an afternoon to go back and forth from the farm to Amp City, but now it takes at most an hour and a half one way.Fu Youguang, who seemed to have been silent all the time, complained to each other for a while in his heart, and then shifted the battle line and discussed side by side for a while about the development and utilization of the holy knight Steven Simon; sounded.

Seriously speaking, Fu Youguang has been here for almost three months, and he hasn't really come into contact with ordinary people in this world.The side is either a serf or a subordinate, or the criminal who came to sell his wife and children.All the information about the current situation of the people in this world comes from the cold words on newspapers and documents. Hearing the vaguely human voice, Fu Youguang couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up and walked to the car window and opened the curtains.

Daniel, who was in the corner of the carriage, moved to the Earl's side in an instant, staring out of the carriage with his eyes bare.If there is an attack from the car window, he can instantly knock down the Earl.

Sure enough, there were pedestrians on the road.On both sides of the road, scattered people walked, most of them were farmers holding farm tools or carrying bags, and there were also citizens riding wildebeest or vendors pushing small carts.They screamed when they saw the luxury cart pulled by the two red lion monsters from afar, and then immediately retreated to the edge of the road, waiting anxiously for the carriage to pass by.

During the speeding past, it was enough for Fu Youguang to see clearly the faces that were similar but slightly different.The expressions of most people are numb, that kind of indifferent, as if their own lives are no longer important.Fu Youguang had seen this expression in old photos of the Republic of China, and he had seen it on the faces of the serfs when he first came to the farm.

In addition to a lot of numbness, there is also a small amount of yearning, envy, and fear.These slightly animated expressions come from townspeople or vendors who at least have shoes on and clothes that are much cleaner.

Fu Youguang stood by the car window and watched for a while, then sat back on his seat with a wooden face.

The earl seemed to be in a bad mood, and Steven Simon had no time to hurt himself.This outstanding magic stick showed a warm and honest smile, and his expression was full of compassion and piety: "Dear Earl, do you still like the current grand occasion of this avenue? People in nearby villages and towns would rather take a longer detour now." Come to choose this road to enter the city, I think it won't be long before there will be bards singing about your good deeds of road construction..."

"It's just that this road is not easy to walk." Fu Youguang interrupted Steven's flattery, and said calmly and dumbly, "If they could at least wear shoes, they wouldn't have to take a detour."
