I Have a Dragon Island - Chapter 163

[Chapter 163 A Silver Coin]

The construction task of Fengming Town has started for several days.

The first batch of craftsmen who participated in the project had a drastic change in their attitude, from trying to fish in troubled waters at the beginning to becoming sincere.

When they saw the first batch of ore and those strange building resources, they were already shocked.

From then on, everyone was amazed and worked even harder.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

On this day, a group of craftsmen arrived at the office in the east of Fengming Town early.

At this moment, a group of people looked at each other, and all of them noticed the expectation and uneasiness in each other’s eyes.

After all, for others, today is just the beginning of a new month, but for them, it is the day to get paid!

“Do you think the Baron will not pay us?”

An old man looked around and continued to whisper.

“Look, there are about 20 of us here, that’s about 1,600 copper coins!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone showed a worried look.

It’s not that the new baron can’t afford the salary, but because each person’s salary is actually higher than that of a normal craftsman.

At this time, a middle-aged man waved his hand and said with a smile: “I say, what are you worried about? The Baron will spend more than just those copper coins just to build so many construction resources. Just like Tommy said, you are judging others by your own standards!”

Hearing the middle-aged man’s joke, everyone smiled at each other but were not angry.

“Kurt is right. The Baron can afford such a small amount of copper coins!”

Everyone felt relieved.

Their wait did not last long.

Supported by a group of Fengming guards, Yu Bu set out from his own manor and finally arrived at the construction office in the east of Fengming Town.

When he looked up, everyone was looking at him eagerly.

Yu Bu then coughed lightly and said with a smile: “Thank you for your hard work over the past month.”

A group of people hurriedly shook their heads, and some even bowed with a stern face.

“Your Excellency the Baron has worked hard. We are all rough men, and it won’t hurt to do some hard work.”

Yu Bu nodded without saying much.

He saw through these people’s true thoughts at a glance, so he stopped wasting time and just winked at Tommy behind him.

The latter’s expression straightened up, and he quickly took out a small bag and walked towards a group of craftsmen.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

How can such a small bag hold more than 1,000 copper coins?

The craftsmen were secretly dissatisfied but did not dare to show it, though a hint of worry appeared in their eyes.

Seeing this, Tommy sneered in his heart, but did not point it out.

He walked straight up to the middle-aged craftsman named Kurt.

“Uncle Kurt, this is yours.”

As he spoke, he took out a coin and handed it to the other party.

“Well… this is a… silver coin!” Kurt was stunned at first, and then shocked.

A group of people were also stunned.

When Tommy saw this scene, he first looked back at Yu Bu, and after receiving the latter’s signal, he stood directly on a big rock.

Seeing this, everyone shut their mouths.

“You must be wondering why Kurt, as a bricklayer, should have received 80 copper coins, but I directly gave him a silver coin.”

Seeing everyone’s puzzled looks, Tommy said proudly: “The Baron said that this is extra pay for you!”
