Working Prophet

Chapter 655 Greenfield No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant

With factories and equipment, workers are also needed. Fortunately, Li Yu and Ilea brought back many people from the capital.

There is no shortage of people in Luye now, so the Luye No. 1 Steel Factory, jointly established by Shuangxiujiao and the Arias family, quickly recruited the first batch of 400 employees.

In addition to enjoying basic weekend breaks, those who join the steel factory also receive a generous salary. Those who have worked as a blacksmith before can also get double the salary as long as they pass the interview.

In addition, the steel factory is responsible for lunch at noon and has a one-hour lunch break... These work benefits are very novel to the indigenous people on the Bratis continent.

What was equally novel were the dwarves in the mine.

After being captured, they were all prepared to be executed. After all, this time they were wronged first and secretly united with the savages in the Dragon's Back Mountains to launch an attack on the Western Territory and killed Marquis Cullen.

However, the female lord just killed their commander-in-chief, but let the others go. She even lenient the dwarf prince Oli and allowed him to write a letter to the dwarf king to raise ransom.

Although the amount is a bit larger.

In the end, after some bargaining, the two parties settled the deal for 70,000 gold lions. After that, the dwarf king also wanted to redeem the 10,000 dwarves who were captured.

As a result, Miss Rabbit opened her mouth and quoted one million, but there was nothing more to say.

Actually, based on the general market price on the Bratis continent, it would be great if a warrior without noble status could be worth one or two golden lions. After all, their families couldn't come up with more money.

The reason why the female lord gave such an outrageous price was actually to show that she did not want to send these people back to the other side of the Dragon's Back Mountains.

Of course, the dwarf king Helei also heard the meaning behind this, so he had a tacit understanding and did not ask any more questions.

As for Ollie, this guy is quite talented. He was forced by the female lord and used all kinds of tricks to persuade Herre to hand over the ransom.

First, in the letter, he dug up what happened to Herley when he was a child and played the emotional card, and then pretended to be pitiful, saying that if Herley didn't pay, he would be killed by those imperial people soon, and his body would be hung on the city gate. Scorned.

But what really moved Herre was the sentence at the end of the letter. Ollie said that he knew how the dwarves were defeated this time.

And this happened to be what Herre wanted to know the most.

You must know that until the night attack that night, almost all the news coming from the front was good news.

The imperial army was trapped and died in the Gravel Valley as planned, and then reinforcements were attracted, and they were about to be wiped out in one fell swoop.

He Lei was still a little regretful at the time. The second imperial army had too few people, only 5,000 people came, but he didn't expect that it was these 5,000 people who finally defeated the nearly 30,000 army of the Dwarf Kingdom abruptly.

When the news came back to the capital, Haley couldn't believe his ears. He was shocked and angry, and at the same time secretly remembered the name Ilea.

The next step is to find a way to figure out where the failure occurred this time.

Although some remnants escaped after all the hardships, they were completely scared out of their wits. The scene described by Hurley sounds like a myth, which is really unbelievable.

With the death of the army's commander Jerome, Ollie, as a surviving officer and a member of the royal family, should have relatively high credibility and reference value.

This was the real reason why the dwarf king Herre was finally willing to pay. What he bought for the 70,000 gold lions was actually a loser.

It's a pity that his simple wish is destined to fail, because his uncle still doesn't know how his side was defeated until now.

But at least Ollie's life was saved.

Miss Rabbit was still very reputable. After receiving the money, she immediately hired a few savages to take him back to the other side of the mountain.

He even thoughtfully packed some green field specialty carrots as souvenirs for the dwarf prince.

In addition, I also took some of the white paper and linen produced by the Shuangxiu Church, and told Ollie to show it to the Dwarf King. If you need it in the future, you can come and order it.

The dwarf prince looked like a goods anchor when he returned.

As a result, Ollie distributed these things to the accompanying savages on the way, and when he was about to cross the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, the dwarf prince asked two savages to beat him severely with a whip.

As if that wasn't enough, he gritted his teeth and broke one of his legs before limping back.

Ollie can return to his hometown as a prince, but other dwarves are not as lucky as him and can only move bricks in the mine.

But after moving for a while, they felt something was wrong.

Why does it seem like this day is not bad?

Although mining every day is very hard, there is also a lot of time for rest, and every five days I can get two more days off.

As prisoners, the food was definitely not good, but it was still edible. The female lord did not deprive them of food or abuse them.

As for the income... there is none, but Li Yu persuaded Ilea to give the dwarves some extra sweeteners.

One of the most popular is a small thing called a twilight roll.

You can exchange for a glass of wine if you save enough seven coins. Of course, it’s inferior, but it’s better than nothing. For the dwarves who are addicted to alcohol, the happiest thing now is to sit under the open-air wine shed and drink beautifully. One cup.

In order to save up enough wine coupons as soon as possible, they worked a lot harder.

And it's strange to say that when some dwarves proposed not to rest on Saturdays and Sundays in order to drink more, they were rejected by the steward of the mine.

The man said that this is the site of the weekend religion, and that Saturdays are kind, and people are not allowed to continue working on weekends.

Some dwarves, especially those from poor families, remembered their tragic experience of working day and night on the other side, farming, and then being drafted into the army to fight, but in the end they didn't make much money.

With such a comparison, it seems that being captured is not a bad thing.

So when the Hughes of the Shuangxiu Church come to preach again next time, the resistance of the dwarves seems not to be so great.

In addition, in the previous battle, they had also witnessed the divine power of Saturday with their own eyes, and witnessed the miracles performed by the prophets of the Shuangxiu Sect.

Some dwarves who were not firm enough in their faith began to waver, and probably on the twelfth day after the monks came to the mine to preach, some dwarves finally became willing to become Saturday believers.

Although this was just an example, it was a good start. Later, more dwarves changed their beliefs and came to express their hope to join the Shuangxiu Cult.
