Chapter 273 Let’s sign a labor contract.
More than a year ago in Tacoma County, people came and went, selling silver and making gold.
Sea trade, land transportation! The wealth brought benefits everyone.
But why did it become like this?
In fact, every businessman and every civilian has an idea in mind.
The death of the Tacoma man in battle was somewhat suspicious.
This is also a doubt in the minds of many people.
It's just that... they can't twist the general trend, and they can't change the general trend.
Now that Tacoma's new owner has arrived, many people are on the streets and behind the windows of their homes, watching the silver armor guns whizzing past, and they are all trembling with fear.
They didn't know what the new lord's character was like or what his conduct was like.
But at least it left an impression on them.
The new lord is very strong and he is the type that they cannot resist.
I hope he's not the kind of lord who messes around.
With this idea in mind, many people repaired doors and windows while hiding weapons to prevent gray orcs from snatching them into their homes.
It didn't take long for them to watch in amazement. Those silver-armored warriors rushed up to beat the gray orcs who were robbing them, and then escorted them to the prison in batches.
In just one night, the entire Tacoma County became much quieter.
At first, people thought that the gray orcs would be released soon, but after several days, the gray orcs were locked in the prison, and soon the prison could no longer hold it.
Then people watched in surprise as large groups of gray orcs, under the control of a few silver-armored warriors, cut wood and opened up wasteland outside the city.
Such a scene reminds all normal people in Tacoma County of the good old days.
They immediately took a liking to the new lord.
This fucking person is a normal person.
After a few days, the gray orcs built a temporary prison by themselves, and the gray orcs who were still wandering on the streets would be taken away directly by the silver-armored warriors and imprisoned in the newly built prison.
Soon, Tacoma County was completely quiet.
It was so quiet that everyone was a little unaccustomed to it.
When Mr. Bayi returned home with a hoe on his shoulders, two maids came up to him and patted his body gently.
"There are no manpower." Mr. Bayi slumped down on his soft chair helplessly: "Only eight people work on the more than one hundred acres of land at home. How long will it take to finish it?"
His old wife came from the side. He came over and said, "Master, this is not an option. The three children at home can't hold on any longer."
"Alas!" Mr. Bayi sighed, "Then where can we go? I heard it's in the south. Louisian County is recruiting free people. As long as you go there, they will give away fields. I just don’t know how much.”
“Then we have to give up the fields here?”
Mr. Bayi smiled bitterly: “The fields can’t be taken away. If we want to leave, I have no choice but to give up. But now the price of the land is very low, less than one-third of what it was before. I feel heartbroken when I sell it."
"I feel heartbroken too." The old wife sighed.
Now they can neither leave nor stay. I feel very depressed.
Just when the two of them were worried, the maid came in in a panic and said: "Sir, there is an elder outside who wants to see you."
The elder?
Mr. Bayi was a little curious. When he walked to the door and took a look, his heart trembled.
There was a silver-armored warrior standing outside. He had taken off his helmet and was holding it with one hand.
"Is this Mr. Bayi?" the silver-armored warrior asked.
Bayi nodded repeatedly.
"Before two o'clock in the afternoon, please go to the city central square to participate in the special talent market exchange meeting held by our master."
What the hell is this?
This was Master Bai's first reaction.
Every word sounds understandable, but when connected together it feels weird.
Then he asked instinctively: "Can you not go?"
The silver-armored warrior just smiled and left.
Although the other party was not fierce at all, Master Yi still felt the coldness on his neck.
He immediately went home, washed and dressed up, and when the time came, he went out on his little donkey.
It was very quiet along the way. After all, there were fewer people in the city now, so there was nothing we could do. But when he was about to reach the central square, Bayi saw a few acquaintances walking in that direction.
Everyone greeted each other and walked together.
Master Bai asked: "Do you know what the new lord is doing?"
Everyone shook their heads.
When we arrived at the central square, we found that there were already many people waiting there. They were all acquaintances and well-known gentry in the city.
It's not about slaughtering the fat sheep.
Everyone was a little scared.
At this time, a high platform has been built in the center of the square, and several silver-armored warriors are patrolling nearby.
While waiting uneasily, they saw batches of gray orcs being escorted from the west and placed behind the high platform.
Soon, another knight team arrived, led by a young man wearing black clothes.
He is very handsome and has a great temperament, which makes people fall in love with him at first sight.
Master Bai suddenly thought of his two unmarried daughters, but then he shook his head and sighed.
They don't deserve it.
The handsome young man came to the square, dismounted his horse, and walked to the high platform.
The whole square fell silent.
The gray orcs behind were still chirping and humming, but after being whipped by the silver-armored warrior, they all became quiet.
The young man's eyes slowly swept across the square.
Everyone below felt goosebumps on their bodies. They felt like they were facing a lion.
"Good afternoon, everyone."
"I am the new lord of Tacoma, Hardy."
"Recently, we found that there are many gray orcs in Tacoma County who don't have enough to eat and don't have enough clothes to wear. They make a lot of noise on the streets. Things."
Hearing this, the gentry all had strange expressions.
The young man on the stage continued to talk.
"As the lord of France, I am very kind and can't see them working so hard and pitifully. So I decided to find new job opportunities for them." "
With the consent of all the gray orcs, I decided to Let’s shoulder the burden of finding new employers for them.”
The faces of the gentry all turned ugly.
Hire gray orcs as workers and servants?
Forced mission?
What a joke.
The house will be lost.
No one from the north could do such a disgusting thing.
The young man seemed to see the ugly faces of everyone, but he did not stop and continued talking.
"I will replace them with labor contracts at a suitable price. Now the labor contracts will be issued to everyone. Let's take a look."
After hearing this, many silver-armored warriors came over and handed out pieces of parchment . Stuffed over.
The gentry are not interested, they don't want to hire a group of uncles to go home.
Moreover, they felt even more bored with this young lord.
What the hell.
Recklessly.
But they didn't dare to show it on the surface, so they had to accept the contract politely.
At first they were just pretending to look at it, but then, one person's expression turned into surprise.
Others also noticed something was wrong. They snatched the contract form from their companions and read it carefully for a while. They also looked happy.
One hundred years of employment?
Just make sure you don't kill maliciously?
To care for them like your own farming tools?
middle!
