Late December.

Due to the bursting of the sea dam, the land originally used to build the factory was partially destroyed, and many buildings were washed away by the sea. Therefore, if you want to start construction again, you will have to wait until next year.

And as the season deepens, it is already the cold winter season, and the workers' enthusiasm for work has declined. On the construction site, only scattered workers are still working. However, considering that this season is not suitable for construction, so, come

The number of workers here is only a quarter of the original number, and the daily working hours are also reduced to half of the original number.

Dazna is one of those who continues to stick to his job.

As a worker leader, on the one hand, he must set an example. On the other hand, the salary given by the employer has not been reduced. Even if the working hours are only half of the original, he can still get the same salary as usual. This is for some people who are not afraid of the severe cold.

For workers, this is the best thing.

Since they can only do hard work, they naturally have no reason to refuse.

"I didn't expect so few people to come."

The worker Kiki found Dazna during his break and said to him.

Dazna took a sip of hot water and looked at the frost-covered earth and sky. Since the country of Waves is filled with fog all year round, in winter, the water mist will turn into extremely cold frost. Even people with strong physiques will feel biting.

of chill.

"There is no way to continue working at this time, either for people who are in good health or for people who are in urgent need of money. But compared to these, if the body is frozen, it will not be worth the gain. Not everyone likes to be here

Come out to work when the time comes."

Dazna said.

Winter in the Country of Waves is notoriously cold. As a native of the Country of Waves, although I am used to such coldness, I dare not say that I can ignore such coldness.

If you stay in such an environment for too long, you can easily freeze your body.

Every year, we hear news of people dying of cold outside. They are homeless wanderers. They have no clothing to keep out the cold and no place to live, so they are naturally prone to die in such a cold season.

"That's right. If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't open the pot at home, I wouldn't want to go out to work in such a cold weather."

Kitch exhaled a white cold breath from his mouth and rubbed his hands vigorously. His hands were red and already a little swollen from the cold.

"Is your hand okay?"

"It's okay. When I continue to work later, I'll feel better after soaking in hot water. It won't hinder my work in the afternoon."

Although he can be lazy in a symbolic way, the employer has already given him so much money, and if he is still lazy here, he will always feel a bit sorry for the salary given by the employer.

No matter how much money the employer pays, he will contribute as much as he can. This is the rule that Kitchen has set for himself.

"That's good. If it doesn't work, go back and rest..."

Dazna paused in his words, and a voice came from beside him, interrupting the communication between him and Kiki.

"Dazna, someone is looking for you."

one worker yelled.

"Um?"

Dazna looked in the direction pointed by the worker and saw a middle-aged man in official uniform. He was sure that the man was not from Yiji's place. He had never seen this man at Yiji's place.

who is it?

Generally speaking, no one would come to a place like this to look for him.

"Pay attention, the other party has a family crest on his body."

Kiki narrowed his eyes.

"Family crest?"

Dazna took a look at the middle-aged man and saw that the family crest that represented his identity was indeed embroidered on his clothes.

"That is the family emblem of a daimyo family, and he is a daimyo."

The Country of Waves, like other countries, attaches great importance to bloodline inheritance.

Especially the upper-class famous families and other nobles, large and small, all have exclusive family crests belonging to their own families.

This family emblem represents the status of the nobility.

Among them, the one with the noblest bloodline is the great master of the Land of Waves.

As a native of the Country of Waves, Kitchi had naturally seen the family crests of famous families.

It's just that they have never been in contact with such a noble blood person. After all, there is a serious level gap between the upper class and the lower class. As the bottom class, they are not qualified to meet such a noble blood person.

Although Kiki doesn't understand why the blood of daimyo and nobles is noble, let alone where their noble blood is reflected.

It is not a ninja clan with blood inheritance limits. It has a mysterious blood inheritance limit, which can be passed on to future generations more intuitively.

Dazna also reacted and his expression became solemn.

At this time, if people from Daming Mansion came to find him, nothing good would happen.

Even though the country was so poor, the people above did not reduce the taxes. It can be said that heavy taxes are also an important reason for the poverty of the country of Waves.

Once this group of people comes here, nothing good will happen.

"Stop factory construction?"

A temporary office in the factory is equipped with a heater, and the air is filled with warmth. Compared with the cold outside, it is a completely different world.

However, being in such an environment, Dazna did not feel any warmth, but a cold feeling in his heart.

He looked at Kado sitting in the office chair.

Judging from his appearance, he is a sinister and cunning man.

All in all, he doesn't look like a good person, and he looks very intimidating.

Kado wiped his sunglasses with a tissue, revealing his fierce little eyes. After putting them on again, the fierceness was reduced a lot, but the sharp eyes behind the sunglasses still made Dazna feel a little restrained.

Unlike Yiji, even if Kado makes an indifferent move, it is difficult for people to communicate with him naturally and cordially.

He regretfully said to Dazuna: "Although I'm sorry, this is already an established fact. This is a decision made by the Daming Palace of the Kingdom of Waves. They suspect that the factory established here by the Kingdom of Demons is to produce illegal products.

militarized weapons, so we plan to intervene in the investigation. Although we have given an explanation, we are guests after all, so we have no choice but to let the officials from the Country of Waves come over to investigate."

"So, the famous envoy who came here during the day..."

Dazna thought of the famous envoy who came here to see him during the lunch break. He kept asking about various things in the factory with a very arrogant attitude, as if he was born superior to others.

This made Dazna very unhappy, but considering the difference in status between the two parties, Dazna only explained what he knew to the Daimyo envoy.

I just didn't expect that I would soon get the bad news that the factory had stopped construction.

If the factory cannot continue to be built, then these thousands of workers will be unemployed.

Although it is not impossible to live, it will return to its original shape. As for improving life, it is wishful thinking.

"They are investigators. There will be other officials coming later to visit and investigate. With those people, we from the Ghost Kingdom will send people over to negotiate."

“What are the workers going to do?”

"Because the incident happened suddenly and was an uncontrollable accident, all work here will be stopped during the official investigation of the Kingdom of Waves. So..."

Kado’s meaning is self-evident.

It is a foregone conclusion that workers will be unemployed.

"How long do they need to investigate?"

"If it's quick, it can be solved in ten days and a half. If it's slow, we won't know. Judging from the attitude of the Daming Palace of the Land of Waves, they won't let go and can only waste time here."

In other words, we cannot rule out the possibility that the Damingfu of Wave Country will continue to delay.

If it continues to be delayed like this, it may even take half a year or a year.

This news is undoubtedly very frustrating for Dazna.

After finally getting the job, it was suspended due to some unreasonable things, which made Dazna find it hard to accept.

But what if you don’t accept it?

Just look at the envoys from the famous family who came during the day, and you will know that they will not explain anything to civilians like them.

And they are used to it, so they don't need explanations from above, they just need to follow the rules honestly.

There is no need to resist or expect, just live your own life.

As long as we can still live, there is still hope. There is no need to provoke the rich and powerful. It is impossible to make them unable to live.

If that's the case, they can only protest and vent their dissatisfaction.

As if seeing Dazna's worries, Kado said: "Actually, you don't need to worry. Although the factory has been suspended due to some things, the workers' cooperative can still provide you with some assistance to help you get through this period.

In winter, we will step up negotiations with the Daming Prefecture of the Country of Waves to ask them to lift the restrictions."

"It can only be the."

Dazna sighed, wanting to go home and drink immediately to vent his unhappiness.

The crusade against pirates failed, resulting in the deaths of many young people, and now the largest workers in the country of Waves are to be collectively unemployed. Can't this group of powerful people do something useful?
