The last 2000 yuan

The content in the brochure can be accepted by normal people. Reasonable rules and regulations are not only constraints, but also protection for oneself.Moreover, the magician made it clear that he did not want slaves, nor would he allow slaves to appear in his territory or buy and sell slaves. They were only hired workers at first, and those who had passed the test could apply to become the official citizens of Changsheng Territory.

There are a few bums who steal and play tricks and won't say that they want to leave at this time. The only people they can bully are honest people, and they are shit outside.It's better to stay and hang out with everyone, maybe you can take advantage of it.

So without waiting until the next day, everyone expressed their desire to stay and work for the whole year.

Seeing that these people were willing to stay, I signed a five-year employment contract with them on the spot all year round. Children and elderly people who cannot work are counted as family members, and orphans and orphans are counted separately.However, among the 500 people, there are some children under the age of ten, and there are less than ten elderly people over the age of 45.

All the year round, they have never said anything to their own people. Seeing that these people have signed the contract, they immediately took out not only the magic bread, but also some other magic foods that are beneficial to the body. potion.In addition, I brought out some cloth, sewing scissors, and asked men and women who can mend to make some underwear and simple coats.

Now that the weather is getting hotter, there is no need for too complicated clothes, so I simply took out simple shorts and vest styles all the year round, and asked everyone to follow suit.For those who can't make clothes, arrange them to collect weeds to weave straw sandals.The work of weaving straw sandals is known to most cooks, and there is no need to teach them.

In order to avoid so many people getting together to do things in a mess, everyone is asked to sign up voluntarily all year round, excluding the old and young who cannot work, and [-] small captains, eight big captains, one general manager and A vice-president.

Coincidentally, the eight captains plus the chief and deputy managers were all the ones who raised their hands and said they were willing to drive the car.

However, these people dared to stand up when the situation was unclear at that time, and their courage and insight surpassed the ordinary people. After distributing food, it is better to choose them than to choose others.

There are men, women and children, and the team leader is basically voluntary.However, the position setting is not fixed. If the team members have opinions about it, they will also be replaced after they respond to the above.

The post of manager has been assigned to Tie Yunyi all the year round, and he himself is willing.

The post of deputy manager was taken by the oldest old man.The old man was originally the head of a vegetable village, and more than 200 of the nearly 500 vegetable villagers were from that village. The team of [-] people is composed of about two vegetable villages plus some scattered vegetable people.

The old man has no desire to seize power, he is a very calm person, but he is also very bloody.His son, daughter, and daughter-in-law all died while fighting against the slave hunters, and now there is only one little granddaughter left. Along the way, he not only took good care of his little granddaughter, but also protected many other orphans in the same village who had lost their parents.

All the year round, he was chosen as the deputy chief because of his good heart and knowledge, and his prestige among the villagers.

"In the past few days, you should take care of your health first, and there is no need to worry about other things. Buping and I have a relatively secret territory, but I still need to make some arrangements to prevent you from being discovered. Although I am not afraid of someone coming to the door, there is one more thing It's better to have one less thing, I think you also want to live a long and safe life." All the year round, he said to everyone.

All the vegetables were grateful in their hearts, and kept shouting in their hearts that they had met a kind person.

"Since you are my own people, I don't have to hide it from you. I am not peaceful. I am a partner. There are still many vegetable people in our territory, but they live on Qinglong Island, which is not on this mainland. It is far away from here. In the future, when you become If we become our official citizens, we will have the opportunity to go there.” Throughout the year, some city images of Qinglong Island have been specially released with crystal balls.

When all the vegetable people saw the clean, tidy, luxurious and sturdy huge city in their eyes, they couldn't help but marvel.Looking at the people living inside, they are all vegetable humans, but these vegetable humans are very different from them. Not only do they wear decent clothes, they walk with their heads held high, and the most important thing is that many of them have smiles on their faces. , everyone seems to be fed and clothed, there are many shops on the road, and children are running happily in the city in cute and neat clothes.

This is the paradise of the vegetable race, right?Many vegetable people think so in their hearts.

Even in their dreams, they couldn't dream that they could live such a good life.Thinking that they will have the opportunity to live in this city in the future, each of them is very excited.

The deputy manager and others, who were still worried about the future, heard that the vegetable warrior was the magician's partner, and that the two of them jointly owned such a large city composed entirely of vegetable people. They also let go of half of their worries and started Looking forward to the future.

On this day, Perennial and Buping are still continuing to collect soil, water sources, and plants, etc., so as to arrange the part of the ring space that is more like a real wilderness.

In the evening, he gathered everyone all year round and announced: "I have set up a magic circle to go to my territory, and I will send everyone in later. Before going in, there is one thing that must be explained. Because the whole world is now arresting the vegetable people. , in order to prevent you from being discovered, I can only find the most remote place in my territory. It is still a wilderness with nothing. The fields and houses need to be cultivated and built by everyone after entering. The only advantage is that There are no beasts or outsiders there, so you can live in peace there."

The vegetable people were first disappointed and then pleasantly surprised. Even if there is nothing in the wilderness, as long as it is safe and able to cultivate, they will soon be able to build a new home.

"In addition, in order to prevent everyone from being discovered, I set up several magic circles in that territory, including a magic circle that prohibits the air. This magic circle can prevent people from being spied on, and it can also prevent people from being attacked from the air. The bad thing is that everyone will not be able to see the sun, moon and other astrology, and you need my permission to leave that land."

Everyone said it was okay.

Only Tie Yunyi specifically asked: "Sir, how big is your territory? Is it on the Wanshan Continent?"

"Well, it will probably allow you to run for three days and still not finish." Perennial answered vaguely.

Hearing that the site is so big, everyone is more at ease.Tie Yunyi no longer has any problems. He used to worry that being confined to a small place would be like going to jail, but now he heard that the place is so big, so it's okay to be isolated from the world.

After finishing the prelude all the year round, I started to talk about the key points: "Some people like farming, some people may prefer to do manual work, and some people just like adventure or fighting. I just plan to set up a mobile business. People who don't want to farm can be in the business. Work, those who want to become warriors can sign up for the business guard team. At that time, I will build a teleportation magic circle in the mobile business, so that it will be convenient for you to run back and forth between the business and the territory."

Tie Yunyi and the others were overjoyed. They thought they would be locked up in the perennial territory. Although this is good and safe, they always feel depressed and uneasy when they are locked up. Now I heard that they have other options, and they can come and go Freely, there is no longer any worries.

Perennial also revealed some words: "I set up a mobile business, in addition to wanting to make money, if I meet dishonest people who can't survive on the way, I will accept what I can until I can no longer afford it. And you are just me and I hope you can lay a good foundation for the first batch of people you meet after you come out to practice, so as to help those who come later.”

After hearing this, the crowd of vegetables no longer had any doubts.They believe that they love their houses and black people all the year round, but Tie Buping just can't bear to encounter such a catastrophe for his family members.

It has been announced throughout the year that Tie Buping will be responsible for all matters concerning the firm and the territory, while he is only responsible for technical and financial matters.

Out of some bad taste, everyone called Tie Buping the president all the year round, but he was still the lord.

Buping didn't know the meaning of the president, and thought it meant to rule over everything, so he didn't have any objections.

After everything was laid out, he pretended to open the tent and arranged a magic circle inside. He pointed at the magic circle with a magic wand and recited a spell. The magic circle shone with light and a circular light hole appeared.

"Okay, now everyone queues up to enter this light hole, and passing through is the territory village I prepared for you."

Everyone lined up to step into the light hole with excitement and a little bit of anxiety about the unfamiliar area and anticipation for the future, actually entering the perennial ring space.

In the space, Tie Buping had already guarded it in advance.

The people who came in looked around, because they had explained in advance, and they were not surprised or flustered when they saw that there was no sun in the sky.

The altitude of 300 meters basically does not produce a sense of depression, and people who are not careful can't even see any difference from the outside world, at most they can't see the sky.

Everyone came in, Tie Yunyi came in at the end and Perennial one after the other.

All the year round, he said some words of encouragement to everyone, asking them to rest in tents here first, and after two days he will prepare bricks and tiles for everyone to build a house.

The deputy manager took the initiative to come forward and said that it is not good for everyone to have nothing to do, and it would not take so many people to make clothes and weave straw sandals. He asked if there were any seeds all year round, and he planned to lead people to reclaim the fields tomorrow.

He readily agrees all the year round, he likes this kind of people with a positive attitude towards life.

"I have divided the fields for you. This piece of land is still fertile. I will give you advice on what to plant. The field will be contracted in the future, with a period of five years. The contractor only needs to pay me a fixed contract fee every year. All the output in the field is owned by the contractor. You don’t have to worry about the extra food, fruits and vegetables not being sold, the business will buy it.” Perennial said some preliminary arrangements.

The deputy manager asked with some concern: "Is this contract the same as that of a tenant? How much contract fee do we have to pay?"

"Tenants accept double exploitation. They have to pay taxes to the lord or the king, and they have to rent to the landlord. But the contract only needs to pay one fee, and I can guarantee that the contract fee is much cheaper than farming any of the lord's fields. , the contracting fee of one mu of land is only two silver coins a year, and it will remain unchanged for five years. If you want to continue the contract after five years, you can renew the contract. In addition, those who are good at cultivating the land can apply for official citizenship. There will be many benefits, such as the contract fee is only one silver coin per mu of land a year or even less, and I will tell you in detail about this later."

All the vegetables immediately started discussing.

The contract fee of two silver coins a year for one mu of land sounds extremely favorable.Although farming can't make much money, but based on the calculation of planting rye, one mu of land deducts all inputs, excluding labor costs, and can fall to an average of six silver coins a year. After deducting the contract fee of two silver coins, I can still keep four silver coins.It is equivalent to paying [-]% of the tax, and the net loss is nearly [-]%.

You must know that in the outside world, the general lords collect [-]% of the land tax. If they are tenants, they not only have to pay [-]% of the tax, but also have to give [-]% to the landlord. In the end, they can only fall to [-]%.

Even if the year's harvest is not good, the loss of two silver coins can still be paid, unless there are successive years of disasters, or the family has no savings at all.

No matter how you calculate it, it is much more cost-effective than their original farming.

Perennial seemed to know what they were thinking, and added: "Because of your identity as a vegetable farmer, the food and vegetables you grow can't be sold at a price, and you have to pay more taxes instead. But here, I will Collect your excess food, vegetables, melons and fruits according to the average market price, so that your annual income will increase by at least [-]% compared to the original."

All the dishes were happy, and if they calculated it this way, their final annual income would be not only [-]%, but maybe [-]% or even more. At the moment, they felt that this condition was so generous that they would doubt the magician's intentions.The people above are so nice, but it also makes the people below panic, always afraid of some kind of trap.

I sympathize with these people all the year round. The conditions he gave are really not too generous. I can only say that they are normal. It's just that the vegetables are living too hard, so they feel unbelievable.

"The workers are paid according to the average wage outside. The monthly payment is paid every month. If you do a good job, you will get a bonus at the end of the year. The same is true for guards. If a guard is injured or suffers battle damage, the firm will bear all his medical expenses. Subsidies will be given to him, disability will support him for life, if he dies unfortunately, he will be buried and sacrificed every year, and if he has family members and descendants, compensation will be given to his family according to his designation before his death."

One meal per year, "This is just the treatment of ordinary workers and guards. If you become a formal citizen, you will have other generous benefits, such as free housing, wage increases, directional training, martial arts guidance, helping to stimulate fighting spirit, regular supply of medicine, and helping to train future generations, take care of their families, etc.”

Everyone was moved when they heard it.

Tie Yunyi took a step forward and asked loudly: "We understand the land contract, but what about the house? Is it rented?"

Perennial nodded: "I provide the bricks and tiles and other materials for building the houses. Those who build the houses are paid on a daily basis. After the houses are built, they will live in according to the family. Each family has a suite. The size of the house is different, and the renting fee is different. The minimum is fifty copper coins a year, and the maximum is five silver coins a year. If you have no money, you can count it as an arrears, and deduct it from your future income on a monthly or annual basis. Seeing that you are the first batch, your interest is not included. Five Years later, if you successfully apply to become a formal resident, the house can be donated as a resident’s property, but the rental fees for the first five years must be settled.”

The old vice-manager licked his lips, and asked slightly excitedly: "That is, we can live in it first, and pay the rent slowly later."

"That's right."

Everyone was excited again. The minimum rent of [-] copper coins a year is still a brick and tile house, and they can live in it first and pay later. Where can they find such a good thing?

"Then we have living expenses and food before we have output, are you also providing it, or is it in the form of a loan?"

"You don't have to worry about living expenses. People who make clothes and sandals have wages, and people who build houses also have wages. The wages can be exchanged for food and daily necessities. The food, drink and daily necessities before building the house are all given to you. Yes, you don’t need to pay extra. After the house is built and before the land is produced, those who don’t work and have no wages can borrow a sum of living expenses from me first, and then repay it slowly like rent. But for those who don’t People who work, I will try to provide jobs."

"What about orphans, widowed old people, and people who have no ability to work?" Tie Yunyi asked again.

Perennial answered very simply: "Orphans, widowed elderly, and disabled persons who have no one to support them are considered as official citizens of my Changsheng Territory from today onwards, and are raised by the territory. However, if someone deceives me, it is obvious that they have Ability to work, or their own children do not admit it, then after the situation is investigated, those who are serious will be expelled."

Tie Yunyi, the deputy manager and others asked several questions one after another and answered them one by one all the year round.

That night, all the dishes stayed in the ring space with excitement and anticipation.

Tie Yunyi is handed over to Tie Yunyi for one day's water and tents all the year round, and let him be responsible for the distribution and management.

Because of the management staff, the order is much better than yesterday, and some sneaky people dare not openly make trouble to take advantage of it.

Perennial and Tie Buping left the ring space, and Xuanhuang stayed behind. In the future, several of their contracted beasts will take turns staying in the ring space temporarily, as a supervision and deterrent, and also to prevent some people from having bad thoughts.

When Tie Buping came out, he said, "Will you suffer too much?"

Perennial smiled and said: "Do you think when I did a bad deal?"

Tie Buping recalled it carefully, it seems that he had never done it, that is, Changshengling and Qinglongdao, although Changnian invested a lot at the beginning, he also gained something later.It's just that the construction of the two places is extremely costly, so they earn more and spend more.

He held his hand all the year round, sat down on a big rock, looked at the crescent moon that just came out of the sky, and said: "If the capital is small, then you can only make small troubles, and take your time on a small scale. If the capital is large, the early stage The investment can be bigger. Now I seem to invest a lot in those people, such as housing, I must be at a loss, but we need people now, and when we have people, we need them to be loyal. If we only care about ourselves, these Naturally, there is no need to think about it. The whole family will not be hungry if the two of them are full, but now we want to build a new country and save more vegetables. In this way, we need someone to help us produce food, make tools, produce materials, create wealth, and stabilize the rear. We also need to train some fighters."

Tie Buping understood: "You are exchanging benefits for their loyalty."

The little milk dragon woke up at some point, lying on Tie Buping's shoulders and listening carefully with wide eyes.

"Yes, I want them to know that without me, they will never be able to live such a good life outside. In order to continue to live such a life, they have to work hard if they don't want to. There is an old saying that goes from being frugal to being extravagant. It is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. After they have tasted what a good life is and what happiness is, are they still willing to live a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs? When they want to go back to the old life, they will hold back not struggling, not Resist?"

Nian Nian laughed again and said: "And if you want a horse to run fast, you must feed the horse more grass. A person's potential is infinite. If you use one silver coin to buy his labor, he will pay at most two silver coins." The labor of silver coins. But if you use one gold coin to buy his labor, he may pay the labor of two gold coins. For example, if I don’t invest in Xuanhuang and the others, it’s not good for them, and they will treat us like this Loyalty, will you be so capable?"

Little milk dragon: "Aww!" The perennial father is right!

Perennial Le, holding the little milk dragon in his arms.

Tie Buping turned his mind a few times, thinking of his attitude towards Crewe, maybe he should also try to get along with Crewe and treat him better?

Crewe's allegiance to him now is more for the sake of the future Lord of Darkness than for him.It's not in his favor.

Crewe didn't know that his happiness was coming, he was secretly sad in the dark, since His Majesty had the little dragon cub and the snake, he didn't care about him more and more, Crewe was sad!

That night, Perennial and Buping only rested for half the night, and set off for Wanshou City before dawn.

The two used magic to hurry on their way, much faster, and arrived outside the City of Beasts just after dawn.

The two of them changed their appearances and entered the lower city of the City of Beasts with the little lizard painted purple—the color he requested to paint.

The lower city is located near the port.

This area is relatively dirty and messy, with a large flow of people and complex composition, and few wealthy households settle here.

The suppliers of building materials such as bricks and tiles that the two have been looking for all year round are also located near the port, and they are all big merchants.

There are many shops here, and behind the shops are large warehouses, all of which are close to the port, so it is more convenient to transport goods.

After inquiring all the year round, I found a shop with a moderate price and good quality bricks and tiles, and ordered a large number of bricks and tiles from them.

The store owner heard that there were big customers coming, so he hurried out, and even intentionally or unintentionally asked them what they bought so many bricks and tiles for.

"I am a magic apprentice in the Department of Architecture. My teacher is designing his castle for a lord, and the construction of several villages in that lord's territory is entrusted to me. Unfortunately, the materials near the lord's territory are not very good. I heard that the building materials here are good, so I came here specially. I want a large quantity, when will you supply it to me? If it takes a long time, I will go to another house." arrogant.It's just that the little purple lizard on his head is a bit funny, like wearing a weird hat.

When the shop owner heard the words, he quickly put on a smile: "Don't worry, we have stock here, and we have as much as you want, so you don't need to go to other places on purpose. I guarantee that all the goods will be delivered to you before evening, or you have The designated warehouse, we can send it to you."

The owner of the shop kept yelling at the staff again and again, offering tea and snacks, and inviting them to sit in the living room all year round.

"Just send it to you. I have space to store tools. I don't need you to send them. I will take them away." Perennial said proudly, and said that he still needs to look at some materials, such as sewer pipes, formed sewage tanks and Hardware and the like.

The shop owner heard that he had enough space to store tools all the year round, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and said cautiously: "We don't have a specific sewer pipe here, and the sewer generally just digs a ditch leading to the sea. If you are particular about it, dig a tunnel, a tunnel." Ditches have to be dug in the middle, and bricks are pasted on all sides, so that it can also be used as an escape route.”

I have been thinking about the sewer design of Qinglong Island and Changshengling for many years. There are tunnels dug there, and ditches are dug in the tunnels.

Originally, he didn't want to make the ring space so complicated. He wanted to remove the people inside in a few years, so he wanted to make the village's sewage facilities simpler.But thinking about it now, maybe laying a solid foundation is not a bad thing at all. Who knows how long this world will be in chaos?

But in this way, he had to arrange several large decontamination ponds for the living area and production area in the ring space, decompose the dirty water and return it to the ground, and after heavy filtration, it would become clean water and enter the river.

Just build it.

He happened to have the village map that his school seniors drew for him when he drew the design of Qinglong Island, so he could use it.

To build a sewer system, more load-bearing stone pillars, girder materials, masonry, sand, adhesives, waterproofing agents and other materials need to be purchased all year round.

And there is already a kind of volcanic ash cement here, which is said to be researched by the alpine dwarves. The quality is very good and the price is reasonable.

Considering that the vegetable people's construction ability is average, they don't expect to build tall buildings all the year round, so they prepare to build small two-story buildings for every household, so that the foundation that needs to be dug does not need to be very deep, and the requirements for the beams are not high.

In order to save time, all the building materials are simply ordered here all the year round.

When the store owner saw such a large order, his mouth was about to smile crookedly, and he said it was out of stock.Without knowing it, I ran out all the year round to transfer goods with bosses I knew from other families.

It is also common to transfer goods from other places here. As long as the quality is the same, the buyer will not say anything, which can save the buyer trouble.

After placing the order all the year round, he wandered the streets with him all year round, looking for a cheap and high-quality fuel.

Haian Star also has coal, and the reserves are not small, but because it looks dark and is relatively dirty to handle, it belongs to the fuel used by civilians and poor people in the abandoned continent.

Magicians dislike coal very much, preferring flint, which looks like red crystal.

This kind of flint contains a very strong fire-type magical power, and it can be used as fuel after being excited. Moreover, if a standard flint the size of a thumb is used for cooking alone, it can be used by a large family for more than five years, and it is very durable.Of course, the price is also very good looking.

"Is that the fuel you want to buy?" Tie Buping pointed to a goblin shop.

Turning around with the little milk dragon on his head all the year round, I saw dozens of boxes outside the store, all of which were open, filled with various groceries, and there were signs written in the common language on the boxes , among which there are words such as fuel.

"Let's go and have a look."
