While the Beast King and his old witch doctor were discussing whether the orcs should find their own way forward, in the far southern region of Ellandhill, outside an office on the outskirts of a mechanized mine, a group of orcs were discussing around a leader.
What are you wearing?
The man in the middle is Famarus, the orc general sent by the Beast King to investigate the Elanthir Empire. He is not wearing his heavy armor at this moment, and the clothes he wears are very Elanthir style.
The weather in Elanthir is actually not too warm anymore, but these orcs are still wearing clothes that are not too thick. Their clothes are supported by tendons and flesh, and each of them looks stronger than the other.
One of the orcs was wearing a red coat and looked very happy. He had a pair of big bare feet, and his light green skin reflected his sharp edges and strength in the sun.
He said angrily to another orc officer next to his leader, Famarus: "I said, can they willingly give us what they agreed to?"
"I don't know, in our territory before, they were very trustworthy. They gave as many poems as they said they would give." The orc officer's mouth leaked a little when he spoke, so his enunciation was very unclear.
Another equally strong orc drank water from a huge kettle while teasing the wound on the mouth of the officer who spoke: "When will you change your accent? That's called food, not poetry."
"My teeth were knocked out by a two-winged demon during the Second Demon War, and my words leaked. What can I do?" The orc officer was very proud of the wound on his mouth, and proudly showed off.
The orcs really regard the scars on their bodies as medals. Orcs with scars all over their bodies are very popular among the women of the orc tribe.
Many tribes have this kind of glorious tradition. Warriors with scars all over their bodies and who have returned from hundreds of battles have the right to give priority to women in the tribe, and can even give priority to other people's women.
"If they don't give it to us, we will get it ourselves!" After showing off his scars, the officer glanced at Famarus, waved his fist and said fiercely.
If his Langya Bang, which was filled with iron pieces, was still with him, he felt that even if he could defeat 100 humans, it would be more than enough.
"I think these humans are quite good." Famarus finally spoke, stopping his subordinates who were walking around irritably and speaking more and more unscrupulously.
"They gave us quite a lot of daily necessities. Even if they don't give us wages, if we take away these ironware and other daily necessities, we can improve our living standards at home." After he finished speaking, he reached out and held out the talking man next to him.
The leaky-mouthed officer pressed himself back onto the wooden stool.
The orcs who come to work in Eiland Hill are generally treated very well. Many orcs are directly hired as bodyguards, following the boss as a front, and some enter factories or mines to work hard to make money.
When they first entered Ellandhill, they were all dressed in rags. As a result, the factories and mines provided work clothes that could be customized according to the orcs' body shape, which made it a lot more convenient for the orcs.
Those orcs who acted as bodyguards were more comfortable, they wore better clothes, and they lived happily by enjoying the good food and drinking with the boss.
In order to inspect Eiland Hill, Famarus naturally chose relatively harsh conditions. He worked in this mine and signed a labor contract.
After that, he received his own special water cup and basin, and was assigned to a dormitory together with many brothers. He worked here as a porter for a whole month, and was able to eat two very good working meals every day.
It's really good. You can eat meat once every two days, the daily steamed buns and bread are enough, the vegetables are also abundant, and the pickles are plentiful - in the orc territory, there is no such good treatment.
This alone made him feel very satisfied. If the orcs could live such a life without war or death, Famarus felt there was nothing wrong with it.
Just as he was thinking wildly, an orc in the distance saw the boss who hired them: "Well, their people are here, and they may find various street corners to deduct our wages."
They opened a passage and allowed the two humans to walk to the door of the building behind them.
One of these two humans was wearing official clothes, and the other was wearing decent aristocratic clothes. They looked businesslike. The man in aristocratic clothes turned around at the door and briefly introduced: "Gentlemen! This is the Imperial Taxpayer.
Mr. Lewis from the bureau, he will be responsible for supervising me and paying you this month’s salary..."
"Okay, gentlemen of the orc tribe, you come in five by five, and I will pay this month's salary based on the contract and your performance." He walked into the room, and the tax official named Lewis also followed.
Went in.
Soon, the first group of five orcs sat across from the noble man's desk. There was a long stool there, which was specially made for paying wages.
According to the size of the orcs, everything in this room is a bit small, but it can be used. Everyone is crowded on the stools, like primary school students in class, looking at the nobles behind the table opposite and the tax collector on the side.
"Your taxes are reported directly by the company. This has been stated in the contract with you before. You also expressed no objection at the time. Right?" The tax officer turned on the small camera he brought and pointed it at several orcs.
The miner asked while taking pictures.
"Yes, orcs never lie. We agreed to pay 7% tax." Several orcs nodded and answered the tax officer's question.
Elanshir will not deliberately obstruct the employment of other races, but there are many rigid legal requirements.
For example, the employment relationship must be consensual, and the purchase and sale of slaves of other races is prohibited. Sending tax officers to conduct regular inspections and supervision of the employment relationship is also a means to ensure the interests of both parties.
"Then there is no problem. The insurance is voluntary and you gave it up, so your salary has been increased by 10%... Sign the mine salary payment file and you can start receiving your salary." The noble businessman, the boss of the mine, said
He rubbed his hands and smiled like a fly.
These orcs are very capable and have much fewer living requirements than humans. He likes to hire such workers, which can save a lot of operating costs.
