Magic Industry Empire - 736. Chapter 736

(Really? Chapter 90 is here^-^)

————————

After sailing into the southern waters of the Candela Empire for about four hours, the convoy stopped near an island with an area of about five or six square kilometers.

There are no mineral resources on this small island, and there are no other resources worth mentioning. It was originally not within the original goal of the frigate.

However, just two months ago, Xu Yi changed the maritime strategy of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, intending to build an island chain on the endless sea, linking all the islands with resources, and completely bringing them under control, so there is nothing like this. Resources, but islands whose terrain and area are suitable for establishing a base are also included in the scope of investigation.

There are countless islands like this in the vast waters south of the Candela Empire, and it is of course impossible to build bases on all the islands.

Through various investigations and comparisons, Xu Yi finally determined this and two islands about one hundred kilometers away and two hundred kilometers away as the first construction target based on Leslie’s report.

Although the escort fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has actually been extremely active in the southern waters of the Candela Empire, in a strict sense, the establishment of bases on these three islands is truly regarded as the New Flying Chamber of Commerce formally entering the waters of the Candela Empire.

Although all countries on this continent do not have a very clear concept of their own seas, after all, the shortest straight line distance from the coastline of the Candela Empire is only a mere less than 100 kilometers, which can actually be regarded as within the control of the Candela Empire’s navy.

The New Flying Chamber of Commerce did not inform the Candela Empire, and established bases on these three islands. What kind of reaction the Candela Empire will make is really unpredictable.

After the escort fleet stopped near the island, it did not do nothing. Instead, it put down dozens of small magic assault boats, carrying hundreds of sailors, and transported some of the construction materials purchased from Port Nissi to the island first, and were on the coast. A simple settlement was built on the side.

About two hours later, before this simple settlement was fully erected, a huge magic ship swiftly approaching in the west waters, gleaming with silver light in the sun.

Rice led the escort fleet to greet him, and on the “Tuoyuan” large-scale cargo magic ship, which was completed only last month, saw Neval, the head of the transport fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

The two did not exchange much greetings. They simply handed over the work, then put down all the small magic assault boats at the same time, and transported the large number of personnel and subsequent building materials that came with the “Tuoyuan” to the island.

This group of personnel is not only the personnel of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but also includes a large number of construction and engineering personnel from the Amli Chamber of Commerce.

The sole purpose of these people here is to first build a port on this island.

Only when the port is built first can the subsequent materials be delivered to the island more conveniently and quickly, which facilitates the construction of the entire island base.

Similar to the construction of island bases, seven have been completed in the southern waters of the Ruelson Kingdom, so there is no need for Neval and Leslie to do any command. Whether it is the entourage of the Amli Chamber of Commerce or the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, they all act. Started the initial construction very skillfully.

A row of simple houses was quickly built on the coast almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then the first batch of construction workers from the Amli Chamber of Commerce entered with living supplies.

According to the plan, starting from tomorrow, they will spend a minimum of three months on the island until the initial construction of the port and island base is successfully built, and then enter the next stage according to the specific situation.

Having spent so long on an originally uninhabited island, and the work intensity is still not low every day, the living environment is naturally extremely harsh.

However, neither the construction workers of the Amli Chamber of Commerce nor the personnel sent by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had any grievances on their faces. Instead, they all smiled and showed enthusiasm and enthusiasm.

Working here is a bit hard, but I can get a basic salary of at least 30 gold coins every month.

And because of the rush to work, there are more overtime, and if you add overtime, you can even get as much as fifty gold coins a month.

This alone is a lot of money, not to mention that, in addition to this, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has also issued various and numerous subsidies.

For example, because the weather in the southern waters is always very hot, a high temperature subsidy worth three gold coins will be given every month.

At the same time, because of the poor living conditions and high work intensity here, nutrition subsidies worth hardware coins will be given every month.

Coupled with some messy subsidies, if converted into money every month, this part is at least more than ten gold coins.

Under such amazing conditions, no matter how hard the work is, what is it?

“Hey, Nivar, you see, this is the advantage of being rich.” Leslie looked at the busy workers on the island and shrugged to Nevar next to him. “As long as enough money is given, I think they are willing to let these workers sell their lives to the Chamber of Commerce.”

“It’s not difficult to buy life with money.” Nivar glanced at Leslie. “On the island of Kallaska five years ago, you could buy a life on the island as long as you came up with ten gold coins.”

Leslie glanced at Nivar, speechless.

He knew that Nivar was born on the island of Kallaska. He also knew that the island of Kallaska was formerly known as the island of pirates. The island was full of desperadoes. It is indeed not unusual to buy a life for ten gold coins.

But now listening to Nivar personally say this sentence, it still feels very weird.

“If it weren’t for President Xu and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to change the life on the island, the current Kallaska Island would not be any different from before.” Nervar suddenly sighed, feeling quite authentic. “In fact, not to mention the island of Kallaska five years ago. Even now, you can easily buy a life if you take ten gold coins to other countries on this continent.”

Leslie was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Staying in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for a long time will always give him the illusion that the lives of the people around him have become very good, everyone is comfortable with food and clothing, and the world is much better than before.

But in fact, in addition to the places affected by the New Flying Business Association, even in the surrounding countries, there are still some places where people can’t even solve the most basic food and clothing problems.

As for the entire Sainz continent? There are countless places where countless people are still suffering from hunger and suffering.

Before Leslie had persuaded Xu Yi to not need to work so hard, but also to learn to enjoy and enjoy, Xu Yi shook his head and refused.

Leslie felt that Xu Yi was simply a workaholic and didn’t know how to enjoy life at all.

After chatting with Neval these few words, I suddenly discovered that the reason why Xu Yi is a workaholic is probably because his goal in his heart is too ambitious.

He worked so hard, hoping that everyone on this continent can enjoy a better life as soon as possible…

Thinking of this, Leslie couldn’t help passing a trace of shame.

In his more than 35 years of life, this was the first time he felt ashamed.

“In fact, I once persuaded the president, we can buy some slaves from other countries and let the slaves do these tasks, so that we can save a lot of money. Now this base really needs to be built, at least It also costs 300,000 gold coins. And if you use all slaves, you can save tens of thousands of gold coins just by salary.” Nievar said again.

“He couldn’t agree.” Leslie shook his head. “What Xu Yi hates most is the existence of slaves. He has told me many times that if he has enough money, he must buy all the slaves on this continent and restore their freedom. You are now Come and tell him to buy slaves, it’s weird if he doesn’t scold you.”

“Well… Although the president did not directly scold me, I can see that he is very angry, so I will never tell him about it again.” Nevar nodded. “But Master Leslie, I have been thinking about a question…”

“what is the problem?”

“Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not use slaves as workers. This is no problem, but if other chambers of commerce use slaves as workers in the future, the cost of their trial workers will be much lower than ours. Then their things can be sold much cheaper than us. .Now because the quality and performance of our chambers of commerce are much better than those of other chambers of commerce, this is no problem. But in the future…If the quality and performance of other chambers of commerce are not bad, then our chamber of commerce may face it. Big problem…”

Leslie was taken aback, as if he had met Nivar for the first time, and scanned him up and down.

“How did you come up with this problem?”

“When I was in Port Nissi, I met the president of a Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce in the Ruelson Kingdom. His Chamber of Commerce hired and bought some slaves to work as workers, and once boasted in front of me. I’ve been thinking about this problem, and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s serious. Master Leslie, you have a very good relationship with the president. Can you remind him to pay attention?”

Leslie frowned, thought about it, and shook his head slowly.

“I’m afraid it’s useless. Xu is a man who insists on his principles. I remember that when the New Flying Business Association was just established, I sent him a group of slaves to work in his factory. He treated these slaves at the time. The attitude shown is different from that of others. I think if it were not for his lack of strength at the time, I am afraid that he would buy all the slaves from me at that time, and then restore their freedom.”

This was the first time Nivar heard about the creation of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. He couldn’t help but stare at Leslie intently, for fear of missing a word.

“Then you see now, the entire New Flying Merchants Association is going up and down, and all the employees together are even close to 100,000 people, but there is not even one slave among them. Even the two slave maids around him have been restored by him. Free status. Even he is still pushing a bill in the Principality of Stantin, intending to abolish slaves in the Principality of Stantin. Do you think… is it possible for him to accept hired slaves as workers?”

Nevar pondered for a moment, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“Then what should I do? If the president refuses to use slaves, our chamber of commerce will definitely be at a disadvantage against other chambers of commerce in this regard. How can we solve this problem?”

Leslie paused, then burst into laughter, patted Nivar’s shoulder vigorously and said: “Okay, you can think of this question, can’t Xu Yi still think of it? The two of us are discussing here for a long time, worrying about it for a long time. , Maybe Xu Yi already has a solution in his mind. I have known this guy for six years, and I have never seen him really stumped by any problem. So let’s not worry about it here. ”

Neval tilted his head for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

“That’s right. If the president needs us to worry about it, we just need to trust him and do what he says.”
