Chapter 839 Usurping the Country

On the Skybreaker, Testero, Tang En and others sat at a table, drinking tea while looking at the rapidly changing construction site below, chatting from time to time.

At this moment, Testero suddenly came up with an idea.

"Do you want them to join in building the city?"

Tang En put down his tea cup and looked at Testero in surprise: "Isn't this great now? Your people only need to wait a few days to move into the new city."

"No, that's not good at all."

Testero looked at Tang En very seriously: "The incident happened suddenly yesterday, so those people haven't reacted yet and can only accept the arrangement. But seven days is not long or short. If they have been doing nothing, There will be trouble soon."

Tang En smiled and said, "But if they have something to do, they will divert their attention and won't cause trouble."

"That's right, so I have to kill this spearhead before they cause chaos."

Testero added: “Not to mention, they get paid for their work and it’s great to be able to pledge part of our debt.”

What he is really worried about is that now all 1.2 million people are in the wild without the protection of city walls. If the followers of the Chaos Cult fish in troubled waters again and come over to cause destruction, no one will be able to defend them.

However, if everyone moves to the construction site, they will be protected by the elemental lords, and the threat of Chaos believers will not have to worry for the time being.

"The salary of 1.2 million people is not a small amount. Are you sure you want them to participate in construction work?"

Tang En looked at Testero meaningfully. He was only eager to solve the potential dangers now, but ignored the potential dangers in the future.

If these people really participate in the construction work, it will certainly deepen their bond with the city and give them more faith in protecting the city, but accepting the remuneration from the Datang Chamber of Commerce will mean that the entire Bulkesso Two hundred thousand people became employees of the Datang Chamber of Commerce during this period.

The most fearful thing about anything is the beginning. Once there is a precedent, there will be no psychological pressure when doing it again in the future.

This means that Tang En's Datang Chamber of Commerce will develop smoothly in the Renian Empire in the future. Even if they encounter trouble, they can easily find orcs to solve it - after all, they have worked for the Tang En Chamber of Commerce before. , it’s okay to help.

This was of course a good thing for Tang En, but he didn't believe that such a good thing would just happen to him.

"Of course."

Testero nodded without hesitation.

Now these 1.2 million people are really a headache. He can't take good care of them at all. If Tang En leaves them here, in less than a week, the Renne Empire will be in chaos because of these refugees. He can't bet on it. Even if he gets up, he can't afford to lose.

Compared with such serious consequences, leaving these people to the wealthy Tang En was Testero's only choice.

Leave it to Tang En. You don’t have to worry about them causing trouble, or being hungry, or worrying about their safety. Even the progress of city construction is more guaranteed, and since they also participated in the construction of the city, Therefore, I will definitely have a deep feeling for this city in the future, which is a good thing that can achieve multiple things with one stone.

"We need to discuss this matter, please wait."

Tang En stood up and went to Fiona, told her Testero's idea, and then asked: "This is a rare good thing, but I want to know if our liquidity can afford 1.2 million Orc salary?”

"You are overthinking, Your Majesty."

Fiona smiled and said: "Before coming here, I asked Coco and Vanilla, and also consulted the opinions of Meng Kahn and Ursa. The current salary in the Renian Empire is very low. Compared with coins, they are more Willing to pay in kind."

"Barter?"

"It doesn't count. Most of the rewards for their work are tangible things, such as wheat flour, bacon, cooking oil, etc., plus a small amount of currency."

"Because the economic vitality of the Renne Empire is not high, the country has accumulated a large amount of gold and silver currency left over from the previous dynasty. The amount is far greater than the economic strength of the Renne Empire. The Renne Empire is now in a state of inflation as you call it. These currencies Almost out of circulation, all accumulated there, the actual value of the currency is very low."

"The circulation value of those currencies is far less than that of our Illus gold coins, but currency is currency after all. The bosses of the Renne Empire all abide by an unspoken rule. When settling wages, they use part of the physical object and part of the currency to settle the salary. In this way, the squeezed currency on hand is slowly liquidated, and human merchants from other places are also happy to trade with these gold coins. As long as they return to the territory of the Ilrus Empire, they can find the royal family's recycling point to exchange them for Il. Make a fortune with Russ gold coins..."

Fiona spread her hands and said very innocently: "This is also the reason why those merchants travel to the Ren Empire twice a year. As long as they can come back smoothly, they can always make a fortune."

Tang En was speechless. Star Diamond Bank didn't get involved in this kind of business?

"...In other words, we can use canned fruit as wages?"

"That's right."

Fiona took out a notebook and flipped through a few pages before saying: "According to the current economic situation of the Ren Empire, an ordinary orc employee only needs to be given one Dal of meat and one Dal of flour a day - oh, Dal is the official unit of weight established by the Rennes Empire, which is about 1.5 kilograms. If converted into normal prices, two cans of fruit per person a day are more than enough as a salary."

Tang En burst out laughing. Speaking of which, he might be short of other things, but the only thing he was not short of now was canned fruit.

At this time, Fiona added: "Having said that, they have lost everything now, and they rely entirely on us for food, clothing, housing and transportation. If they are only given two cans as wages, they will never be able to eat enough, so it is better to work with them." Testero will discuss and use orc labor to replace the material assistance during this period."

"Oh? In other words, food during this period is no longer converted into debt. Are they providing labor to obtain food?"

"Is such that."

Fiona's eyes were bright: "If it works well, I think this short seven days will be enough for the style and treatment of our Datang Chamber of Commerce to penetrate into the hearts of every orc in Bulkesso. This will be enough for us in the future." All roads are paved for development.”

After Tang En thought about it for a moment, he nodded and said, "I think Testero will be happy to accept this condition."

After all, the debt currently on his head is not a small amount.

Fiona said decisively: "Then we will agree to him."

What they are doing now can be said to be a businessman's most dreamed thing. I am afraid it is also a peak state that all businessmen have not been able to reach. They are now supporting a country!

As long as the Datang Chamber of Commerce seizes the opportunity to do enough ideological work on those orcs in these short seven days to let them understand the goodness of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, after the city is built, although the city is called Xin Bulkesso, but I'm afraid it would be better to call it New Ellington...

Tang En, who is familiar with political books, knows the importance of grassroots work, and naturally knows how to maximize the use of grassroots power, so he said with a smile: "Maybe we can make further plans."

Fiona's eyes lit up: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Tang En waved his hand: "In the name of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, a loving rest stop is set up at a distance from the construction site to provide drinking water, food and medical assistance services to the orcs at any time. The rest stop provides a place to relax. Comic book - let Sanye and the printing house hurry up and make an Ellington promotional brochure, I want them to be brainwashed by our Ellington without knowing it!"

"At the same time, arrange the broadcast, build a temporary broadcast station on the Skybreaker, call Marlene, and ask her to broadcast here at a regular time every day. I don't think there is any need to say more about the content of the broadcast, right?"

Fiona rolled her beautiful eyes and said angrily: "Prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony?"

"That's right, but don't be so exposed!"

Tang En snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "We must educate and entertain them, so that they can look forward to the sound of the radio station every day. We must let these ignorant and backward orcs understand our Ellington's advanced culture, and we must deeply understand them." I am impressed, and after the city is built, we will continue to remember our goodness, let the great humanitarian light shine on New Bulkesso, and let the flag of Illus always fly in New Bulkesso!"

Fiona was too lazy to complain about Tang En's ambition. This guy clearly planned to take advantage of the crisis in the Renne Empire to drain the firepower and capture the opponent's base camp directly from the grassroots level.

If nothing else happens, I am afraid that Testero and the others will not discover the abnormality of the people until the city is built - their attitude towards human beings suddenly changes from indifference to friendliness or even closeness. For Testero, this change But it's hard to say whether please is a good thing or a bad thing.

After the two confirmed the plan, Fiona began to recalculate the matter of mobilizing supplies, and Tang En immediately went back and promised Testero.

"It's great to be able to use labor force to mortgage a certain amount of debt! I have no objection to the proposal in exchange for food!"

Not surprisingly, Testero immediately accepted Tang En's proposal. Although Sharptooth was a little confused, he, who was not very involved in politics, couldn't figure out what was going on.

Anyway, the orcs didn't endure hardship, but instead received job opportunities and food assistance. That's a good thing, right?

How could Testero, who had never experienced the people's struggle, understand Tang En's calculations? He was still happy that he could finally feel less stressed.

After Sharptooth is confirmed, he will return to the ruins in the north. Next, he will lead the refugees south. The distance of forty kilometers is only one day's journey for the naturally strong orcs. They can reach it probably at night. .

At that time, the central area of ​​​​New Bulcasso may have already taken shape.
