With factories and equipment, workers are also needed. Fortunately, Li Yu and Yin Leiya brought back many people from the previous visit to the capital.
There is no shortage of population 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 a basic weekend break when joining a steel factory, the salary is also very good. 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 surprising were the dwarves in the mine.
After being captured, they were all prepared to be executed. After all, this time they were the ones who made the mistake and secretly united with the savages in the Dragon Ridge Mountains to launch an attack on the Western Territory and killed Marquis Cullen.
However, the female lord only killed their commander, but spared the others. She even spared the dwarf prince Ollie and allowed him to write 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.
In fact, it would be great if, according to the general market price on the Bratis continent, warriors without noble status could be worth one or two golden lions. After all, their families could not raise 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 Crest Mountains.
Of course, the Dwarf King Here 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 cornered by the female lord and used all kinds of tricks in order to persuade Herre to hand over the ransom.
First, he found out what happened to Herei when he was a child in the letter to play the emotional card. Then he pretended to be pitiful, saying that if Herei didn't pay, he would soon be killed by the imperial people 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 Harley wanted to know 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.
Herre was still a little regretful at the time. The second imperial army had too few people. Only 5,000 people came. However, he did not expect that these 5,000 people would actually defeat the nearly 30,000 troops of the Dwarf Kingdom.
When the news came back to the royal capital, He Lei couldn't believe his ears. He was shocked and angry, and at the same time, he secretly wrote down the name Yin Leiya.
The next step is to find a way to figure out where the failure occurred this time.
Although some remnant soldiers later escaped after all the hardships, they were completely frightened out of their courage. The scene Here described sounded like a myth and legend, which was really hard to believe.
With the army's commander, Jerome, dead, Ollie, as a surviving officer and a member of the royal family, should have relatively high credibility and reference value for his words.
This was the real reason why Dwarf King Here 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 white paper and linen produced by Shuangxiujiao, and told Ollie to show them to the dwarf king. If necessary in the future, he can come and place an order.
The dwarf prince looked like a delivery anchor when he returned.
As a result, Ollie took all these things and distributed them to the accompanying savages on the way, and when he was about to cross the Dragon Crest Mountains, the dwarf prince asked two savages to give him a severe whipping.
Then, as if he wasn't satisfied enough, he gritted his teeth, broke one of his legs, and then limped back.
Ollie can return to his hometown as a prince, but other dwarves are not as lucky as him, and they 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 to rest, and every five days you can have another two days of rest.
As prisoners, the food was certainly 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 Yin Leya to give some extra sweeteners to the dwarves.
One of the most popular is a small thing called a wine roll.
If you save seven coins, you can exchange for a glass of wine. Of course it's just 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 tent and have something delicious.
One cup.
In order to save up enough wine coupons as soon as possible, they worked a lot harder.
And strangely enough, when some dwarves proposed not to rest on Saturdays and Sundays in order to drink more, they were actually refused by the mine manager.
The man said that this is the territory of weekends, and 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.
Comparing it like this, it seems that being captured is not such a bad thing.
So the next time the monks came back to preach, the resistance of the dwarves seemed not to be that great.
In addition, in the previous battle, they had witnessed the power of Saturday with their own eyes, and witnessed the miracles performed by the prophet of Shuangxiu Sect.
Some dwarves who were not strong enough in their faith began to waver, and it was probably on the twelfth day after the monks came to the mine to preach that some dwarves were finally 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 Shuangqiu Cult.
