Chapter 5 Show the Scene to the Lord of the City
When Sakci walked into the Cantona Chamber of Commerce's office in the village of Koror, he immediately caused a burst of laughter.
"Hey, Father Sarkozy, why are you still carrying a shovel? Are you still planning to go to the fields to farm?"
"That's right, haven't you always hated the new city lord? Have you changed your mind now and want to hear what he said and go back to farming again?"
"Father Sakeqi, you are not being kind. We have all agreed that no one will pay attention to that idiot city lord. Are you trying to betray us?"
"Betrayal!" Father Sakci leaned the shovel on his shoulders against the wall beside the door, and snorted heavily: "Even if I die, I won't listen to that scumbag city lord! If it were Satsuma When the Count comes back when the city lord calls on us to go back to farming, I might consider it again."
"What's there to think about?" a young man in his thirties said loudly: "Don't talk about Earl Stark, even if Earl Summer comes back to be the city lord, I will not consider going back to farming. Farming is so It's hard work, I still can't make any money, why should I go back and suffer this crime."
"That's not what I said." A middle-aged man in his fifties shook his head and said, "It's absolutely impossible to eat without food, so no matter what, someone has to farm the fields, and I can't say that Earl Stark is completely wrong. already."
"Bah! It's not easy to want food?" Father Sakeqi said disdainfully: "With the help of the farmland magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the past two years, our farming is much easier than before, and we can cook several acres or even a dozen by ourselves. There is no problem with acres of fields. Why do you have to tie us all in the fields? I think this Earl Stark made it clear that he did this deliberately against the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Chairman Xu for his political achievements. ."
There was a sudden coughing sound in the room, Cantona stood up from the other end of the table and waved to Father Sakci. Signal him to sit down.
"Okay, since Father Sakechi is here, let's officially start the meeting." Cantona glanced at the faces of a dozen people around the table, and saw that everyone was looking at him. Pretend to be listening intently. Nodding his head, he continued: "I think everyone should have understood the purpose of this meeting today. Because of the order of the City Lord's Mansion. Our Cantona Chamber of Commerce must now return the farmland that was previously sub-leased from you to you. , now I want to ask your opinion."
"If you have any questions, I won't agree." The young man in his thirties waved his hand: "I will hand over the fields to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce to plant. Not only do we not have to pay rent to the City Lord's Mansion every year. Will I get the rent from your chamber of commerce, and I’ll get these fields back after I’m full, and then run to the fields with exhaustion?”
"Yes, I don't agree either."
"I don't do it either. How can you not dare to make money and live easily and find fault for yourself?"
"That is, the guys in the City Lord's Mansion have no brains, we can't have no brains, can we?"
...
The people around clung to it. After a while, a consensus was reached, that is, all expressed their opposition.
Cantona nodded, then shook his head again, and sighed: "I also understand everyone's thoughts. I also agree with your opinions. But everyone must understand that the order of the City Lord's Mansion is an order, and we only have the part to implement it. So now this farmland must be returned to you by our Chamber of Commerce, otherwise, the City Lord's Mansion will definitely find trouble with our Chamber of Commerce. You also know that even a large chamber of commerce such as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can't bear the pressure of the City Lord's Mansion. How can a small chamber of commerce like our Cantona Chamber of Commerce go against the City Lord's Mansion? I hope everyone can understand my difficulties."
"Then according to what you said, we have to take these farmlands back, and then leave the work that we are doing well now and run back to farm again?" The young man in his thirties said indignantly: " The guys in the City Lord's Mansion are sick! We ordinary peasants have just had a good life for less than two years, and they want to destroy them. These noble gentlemen, can't we see that our commoners are living well?"
"Hey, you can't talk nonsense. Now that the bastards in the City Lord's Mansion, you can't blame all the nobles. At least the former Earl of Satsuma is still very considerate of us. Besides, President Xu heard that Now he is also a Viscount of the Kingdom, so he is considered a nobleman." Another farmer from the village of Mexico said immediately.
"That's true... but there are too few noble men like Earl Satsuma and President Xu after all." The young man said with emotion.
"Okay, this is all nonsense." Father Sakci waved his hand, interrupting the emotion of the two, and turned to Cantona and said, "President Cantona, you are dedicated to us today. People were recruited as representatives, not to specifically notify this kind of mess, right?"
Cantona smiled and said, "Father Sakci is right. That's right, I called you here today to come up with an appropriate solution, which not only allows everyone to do what they thought before, but also Let the City Lord's Mansion not come to trouble us."
Sakci glanced at Cantona and snorted: "Okay, looking at you like this, it's obvious that you've already had an idea. It's just that, why do you hide your unhappiness here."
"Okay!" Cantona clapped his hands hard. "Father Sakci is right. We are all acquaintances, so I won't beat around the bush. Yes, I thought of a solution, and now I just want to see if everyone agrees."
"Cantona, just say, as long as you don't let me go back to farming, anything is fine!" the young man in his thirties said loudly.
"Yes, as long as I can guarantee my current job, everything is easy to do."
"That's it, Cantona, just say it."
...
"Okay, then I'll just say it directly." Cantona nodded and said sternly: "My idea is that on the surface, our Cantona Chamber of Commerce will return all the farmland to everyone, but in fact, in terms of specific operations Well, let's do it according to what we discussed before."
"Oh? How to do it specifically?" Sakichi asked curiously.
"Specifically, the farmland is nominally returned to you, but the Cantona Chamber of Commerce is still responsible for the farming. As for the harvest and rent, it is also done according to our previous agreement. In fact, it is also It's just a name change."
"That is to say. Are we cooperating with your Cantona Chamber of Commerce to show the City Lord's Mansion?" Sakeqi asked.
"It's acting... It's generally good, but in fact we have no problem with the procedure." Cantona said with a smile: "Because we have already returned the farmland to you in name, and now you are willing to come to find it. Our Cantona Chamber of Commerce is farming for you. I don't think the city owner will send someone to take you back to the fields and force you to farm?"
"Does he dare?" Sakeqi raised his brows and glared, "These guys have already cost my son his job. Wouldn't they want to kill our whole family? Believe it or not, I'm going to fight for them?"
"That's right. Our own fields. I can find anyone I want to help me cultivate, as long as it doesn't violate the laws of the kingdom. What can the City Lord's Mansion do to us? Cantona, this is a good idea, and I support it."
"I also support it. Since we can't fight against the esteemed Lord of the City, let's obey him. As for how to do it...he can't control it. Anyway, we just need to pay enough rent every year."
"Okay, this method is good. Cantona, tell us how we should play this scene?"
...
"Don't worry everyone, come, take a look at this new agreement I prepared in advance, and then consider signing it if there is no problem." Cantona waved his hand. A silent young girl behind her held a stack of contract documents and distributed them to the crowd.
Sakci took the contract document and just glanced at it, then threw it on the table, then winked at Cantona and walked out the door.
After a while. Cantona followed, came to Sarkozy and asked with a whisper: "Father Sarkozy, is there any problem? If you have any requirements on the contract, you can say whatever you want."
"I don't care about the contract, I trust you." Father Sakci shook his head, looked left and right, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "This... Cantona, you can often see President Xu, right? ?"
"President Xu?" Cantona shook his head: "How can I see such a big man often. Do you have anything to do with him?"
"It's not a big deal..." Father Sakeqi was surprisingly a little squeamish, hesitating for a while before continuing: "Cantona, you know, my son, the kid from Querick who took the Sandier Chamber of Commerce I lost my job. I haven't worked at home for more than half a month. I look very anxious. Now I just want to... I want to ask President Xu for mercy through you, and see if I can let him give my son a job. A chance to get a job in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. It doesn't matter what the salary is, as long as he has work to do. Do you think it will work?"
Cantona looked at the look of anticipation on Sakeqi's face and smiled bitterly: "Father Sakeqi, it's not that I don't want to help you, but that I don't have such a good relationship with President Xu. You should also know that , Now the job of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is very popular in our Bangta City. If President Xu is willing to agree, then everyone in Bangta City will probably go to him. Do you think... Can I help you get it? ?"
Seeing that Cantona didn't agree, Sakechi sighed deeply: "Actually, I also know that the new flight merchants will not be so easy to enter. This kid Queric failed to seize the opportunity to enter before, and now it is only more difficult. Alas. , it's all to blame for that damn Count Stark, who is doing something to suppress business and promote agriculture. His head was kicked by a donkey. Now, a lot of people in Bonta City lost their jobs because of this bullshit policy, and he doesn't care at all. It will take care of the lives of us people."
Cantona looked at Sakeqi strangely, thought for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Father Sakeqi, to be honest, although many chambers of commerce in the city have moved away, there are many fewer jobs in the city. Opportunity. But the "Bangta Daily" did not say that now the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has moved to Luoyu Valley, and many other chambers of commerce in the city have also moved there. As a result, many jobs in Luoyu Valley need manpower. Why don't you let Kui Rick to try?"
"He just didn't want to leave Bangta City too far, so he didn't go to the Falling Rain Valley with the Sandier Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, he wouldn't lose this job." Father Sakechi sighed again. "But staying in the current Bangta City, how can it be so easy to find a job? Not to mention earning more than ten gold coins a month..."
"Earn more than ten gold coins a month?" Cantona frowned, and suddenly his eyes widened: "Yes, I suddenly remembered. When the Chamber of Commerce and President Xu met, he once said that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had I'm going to open something new in the city for a while, and I'm going to recruit a few smart people who can talk... By the way, they're called product promoters. I remember Querick's brain is very smart, you might as well let him try try?"
Sakichi's eyes lit up immediately: "Really? Is there really a job in Bangta City?"
"Really, President Xu told me personally. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not openly recruited yet. You ask Querick to go to Luoyu Valley and ask, if President Xu likes it, maybe it will be hired in advance. What?" Sakci affirmed.
"That's great! I'll go home now and tell that kid Queric to get him to the nearest bus and carriage to Falling Rain Valley, the sooner the better!" Just go.
"Hey, Father Sakci, you haven't got your shovel yet, and you haven't signed the contract yet!"
"It's fine to throw the shovel. As for the contract, you can fill in my name. I agree anyway."
Sakeqi's voice flew far away, but people had already stepped out of the distance.
