This work shed was originally used to house indigenous miners, but as a large number of wooden houses were built in the camp, these work sheds gradually became idle at first. Currently, three work sheds have been converted into warehouses.
This shed was actually intended to be used as a warehouse, but the last batch of miners moved here just a few days ago, and it is close to the canteen of the mine.
The aboriginal mine manager originally wanted to transform this place into a canteen so that meals would not be affected by wind and rain.
There are already long wooden chairs placed in the work shed. These wooden chairs are made from logs in the forest area and are directly broken with saws.
Divide it into two halves, with the flat surface facing up, and fix the base slightly. The wider one becomes a table, and the narrower one becomes a long stool.
There may be little else in Invercargill, except for the fact that timber is everywhere in the mountains and plains.
Sitting on a long stool, businessman Malacom introduced to Suldak that the manager of the business group brought back bulk commodities from the city of San Carlos this time, mainly hoping that this big customer could select a few goods.
However, in addition to the set of magic pattern structures, Surdak only left some bed crossbows and catapults. These weapons are also very expensive in the Green Empire, especially the magic bed crossbows, which are not as good as the magic pattern structures.
How much cheaper.
Although he made some money during this beast wave, as a self-made lord, he needs to use every gold coin where it is most needed.
Malacom sat next to Surdak, and even after a lot of effort, he could not persuade Surdak to buy the items he highly recommended, such as trays with heating functions that could be nailed to any wall.
A faucet that automatically flows out of water, a magic mattress that automatically shakes slowly...
He even suspected that the reason why there was such a shortage of magic patterns in the Green Empire was because these magicians were not doing their jobs all day long.
"Lord Surdak, except for women, old people and children, there are almost no people in our tribe. All the strong laborers either ran to the mine or joined your army. Fortunately, there are no monsters in the hilly areas now, otherwise
A small group of maned beasts can flatten my tribe." The leader of the Dakuni tribe walked in from outside the work shed and complained to Surdak.
At first, he strongly opposed the clan members in the tribe joining the lord's private army. Unfortunately, the situation in the Invercargill Forest suddenly changed and all the lords accepted the rule of Lord Surdak. He could only adapt to the situation, otherwise Daku
The Ni tribe also needs to migrate to Anyar Swamp.
"I know, don't worry! I will handle this matter!"
Surdak sat on a bench at the front and comforted the old patriarch.
The indigenous women outside the work shed brought in some warm water soaked in mint leaves, and a little lemon was added to the water, which tasted pretty good.
Other indigenous chiefs entered the work shed one after another, and everyone discussed the incident in Aboriginal languages in low voices. There were a large number of young indigenous people surrounding the work shed.
Almost all the indigenous chiefs in Invercargill Forest gathered here. The young indigenous people at the mine could not remain indifferent. Everyone was crowded outside the work shed. The Aboriginal mine manager stood outside the work shed and organized the young indigenous people to sit on the ground.
Come out and ask everyone to calm down.
The open space outside the work shed was almost full of young indigenous people.
After the thirty-seven indigenous chiefs gathered, Suldak stood up from the bench, supported the table with both hands, tapped the table gently, and said:
"Dear clan leaders, I know it is not easy for you to come to the mining camp despite your busy schedule. At the same time, I would like to thank you for your continued support of the Invercargill Territory. Now the mine is basically able to operate normally, and the miners here are basically able to operate normally.
They are all young people from various tribes. Every one of them is very outstanding. They work almost hard in the mine without complaining. They have never complained to me. The place they live in is poor, the food is poor, and the salary is low.
, less time to rest..."
"When I came to the mine, I have been working hard and without complaint. Here, I want to make it clear to all the tribal young people that they have overturned my superficial understanding of tribal people."
When Surdak said these words, the workshop immediately became silent, and all the indigenous chiefs were listening carefully to Surdak's speech.
The eyes of the natives who had mastered the imperial language suddenly brightened when they heard Lord Suldak's affirmation of the young people in the tribe.
Surdak knocked on the table hard and said loudly:
"However, due to the limited scale of the mine itself, you should have seen that I only customized three sets of refining furnaces. The amount of copper ore these furnaces can consume every day is fixed, which means that even if I have more miners, the actual amount of copper ore that I can consume is fixed.
There is no way to smelt the mined copper ore into copper ingots."
"The upper limit for recruiting miners in this copper mine is 2,500. Once these numbers are exceeded, the copper mine will actually have no need for them..."
"So please ask the tribal chiefs to restrain the young people in the tribe a little. In fact, I hope that each tribe can develop a rotation list. Of course I hope that the young people of the tribe can come to work in the mine, but now the scale of the mine is limited, so it is necessary
Tribe leaders are here to impose restrictions. I think that the number of young people from each tribe who come to work in the mine should not exceed sixty. If any tribe is willing to have too many young people come to the mine, then we can also implement a shift system...
…”
After hearing what Surdak said, the tribal chiefs who had originally planned to complain to Surdak immediately expressed the hope that Surdak could relax the number of miners.
Surdak waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, and then continued:
"As for the army in the territory, I actually hope to have a complete recruitment system. It can't be like the current situation where everyone wants to come to serve in the army, and I don't want this enthusiasm to be extinguished.
People are willing to join the army. My army now has almost more than 2,000 people. It can be more, even 3,000 people. If it is more, I am afraid it will not work. The weapons and equipment cannot keep up. A series of other benefits and benefits may not be able to keep up.
Not on."
"Then when divided among each tribe, there are actually only about sixty people. I hope that each tribe leader can control this number. I hope that the number of young people from each tribe joining the army every year will be less than half of the number!
"
"I understand that if all the young people in the tribe leave, it will hinder the development of the tribe itself."
"So I hope that the recruitment of soldiers should be orderly and planned."
Hearing that Surdak did not intend to keep all the young people in the tribe in the army, the indigenous tribe leaders who were originally a little worried felt relieved at this moment.
Then they wanted to complain to Surdak, but Surdak said directly:
"I know that there has just been a beast tide here, and this forest needs to recuperate. Now that there are fewer beasts, hunting may not be enough. Life in each tribe may be a little difficult, but you have everything in this forest.
A large area of land is a wealth in itself, and each tribe can try to engage in animal husbandry..."
"Malacom is a big businessman in Wilkes City. I invited him here this time to discuss with everyone that he can buy a batch of yellow sheep on my behalf."
Surdak turned to look at the businessman Malacom.
Malacom, who was sitting aside, immediately understood and coughed, and then said to the chiefs of these indigenous tribes:
"Each tribe will raise a few for the time being, uh... about a thousand. The birth rate of yellow sheep is very high. A ewe basically gives birth to two babies every three years. If more than half of the sheep flock is ewes,
, the quantity will double in three years..."
These indigenous chiefs almost clasped their fingers below before they realized that it was really...
He immediately agreed with Suldak's proposal. Thinking that he would soon have a large group of yellow sheep, he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
Some tribal leaders even lamented in Aboriginal language: "If I had known that raising sheep could be so profitable...who would still be hunting!"
In fact, Surdak wanted to remind them that hunting monsters was actually more profitable.
But after thinking about it, I still swallowed this sentence back in my stomach...
