Chapter 94 Aid

After entering November, even though the Rulson Kingdom is located in the south of the Sains Continent, the weather will inevitably become colder.

The cold wind blowing from the north, mixed with the sea breeze, added a biting chill, making the people nestled in the corner of the port of Nixi city shiver involuntarily.

Roddick walked out of a shop door, glanced at a few ragged people huddled in the corner across the street, couldn't help shaking his head, and sighed.

"Did the blockade of the Candela Empire have such a serious impact on the Luerxun Kingdom? There are even more beggars in Nixi City than usual."

His companion, Sco, glanced at those people, smiled, curled his lips, and looked disdainful.

"It's just lazy people. Although the job opportunities in the Kingdom of Rulson are far less than those in the Kingdom of Lampari and the Duchy of Standing, they are much better than before, right? Not to mention, just our new pilots The chamber of commerce has opened more than a dozen factories in Luerxun Kingdom, if these people are not lazy, how could they not find a job."

"That's not necessarily the case." Roddick obviously disagreed with Scott's view. "After the Rulson Kingdom was blocked by the Candela Empire and other countries, the domestic products could not be sold. I heard from people in the Kulaka City in our chamber of commerce that there are now many magic machines in the Rulson Kingdom. Many chambers of commerce, factories, and other chambers of commerce have also been closed. Therefore, there are much fewer job opportunities in the Rulson Kingdom than before, and it cannot be said that they cannot find jobs because they are lazy."

"Isn't it because of laziness?" Scott still looked disdainful. "The recruitment notice posted by our Chamber of Commerce at the port has been posted for more than a week, right? As a result, we haven't recruited 500 people yet. You say these guys are not lazy? Then why don't they come to apply?"

"This... After all, this job has to be far away from home, and even from the continent of Sainz. It may not be possible to go home once a year. It is understandable for them not to go..."

"Cut. They are hypocritical people from the Rulson Kingdom. A bunch of people from our Lampari Kingdom and the Standing Principality have all gone. These days, as long as you can earn gold coins, it doesn't matter where you are? If you have money , then you can do whatever you want.”

Sco slobbered, his expression was full of contempt, and he didn't lower his voice at all, as if he was not afraid that what he said would be heard by the surrounding people of the Rulson Kingdom.

Roddick shook his head with a wry smile, knowing that he would never be able to beat this companion. I didn't bother to argue with him anymore.

But deep down in his heart he somewhat agreed with what Scott said.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce publicly recruited a large number of employees in the Luerson Kingdom this time, and also gave 500 workers to open up the island base on the endless sea. It was originally because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Luerson Kingdom signed an aid agreement. Be part of it.

But unexpectedly, these Rulson people are not very enthusiastic about these job opportunities. They would rather live like beggars in the relatively warm Nissi Port than apply for the jobs offered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

If it was Roddick a few years ago, he might have agreed with their reluctance to leave their hometown.

But since joining the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet, Roddick has followed the transport fleet to travel north and south in the past few years, even as far as the southeastern corner of the mainland thousands of kilometers away. The experience is not the same as before, and I have long since lost the idea of ​​having to stay in my hometown for the rest of my life. On the contrary, I am very willing to go out and see more.

And as Sko said, as long as he can earn gold coins, that person is the same everywhere.

After another glance at the people nestled in the opposite corner, Roddick shook his head, turned around and prepared to leave.

Just two steps away, a person suddenly appeared beside them, blocking their way.

The two were taken aback by him. Scott glanced at him and found that the man was dressed in rags, his hair was disheveled, and his face was dirty. He couldn't help muttering, then took out two silver coins from his pocket and threw them past.

"Here, take it and buy two steamed buns to eat, don't get in the way here."

The man froze for a moment, then waved his hands, grinned and asked, "Both of you, you just said... Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is recruiting workers?"

Both of them were taken aback, Scott glanced at him up and down, and nodded.

"Yes. Isn't there a big recruitment notice posted at the port, didn't you see it?"

The man scratched his head embarrassingly: "This... I haven't read a book, I don't know how to read..."

Sco and Roddick were startled again, and then Sco clapped his hands vigorously.

"So that's the case! No wonder! Let me just say, these guys shouldn't be so stupid. They don't know how to read, so of course they can't read the recruitment notice." Excitedly asked: "Do you want to join our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

The man nodded blankly: "Yes. I heard that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will give you very good treatment..."

"Of course, if the treatment of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not good, then no chamber of commerce in the entire mainland will dare to say it is not good. Let's go, I will take you there!"

Sco turned around and was about to stride towards the port, but Roddick pulled his arm and pulled him aside.

"Hey, Scott, Director Aldrich purposely put up notices to recruit some people who can at least read and write, so that it will be easier to train. This person is illiterate, why are you dragging him over?"

Scott gave Roddick a white look: "This is Director Aldrich's wishful thinking. Not to mention the Rulson Kingdom, even in the Duchy of Standing, there are only a small number of literate people. How could we recruit so many people?" Literate people. If this delay continues, the plan will be affected. If the adult asks, who will be responsible? I will see Director Aldridge in a while, and I will talk to him about it , don’t be too brain-dead.”

Roddick rolled his eyes and felt that what Scott said was reasonable, so he let go of him and stopped persuading him.

So the two brought the man to the port of Nissi, and met Director Aldridge at the office set up by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce next to the port.

Hearing what Scott said, Aldridge, who was the director of the Third Fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet, thought about it for a while, and felt that it made sense, and he no longer insisted on his previous plan.

After some brief tests on the middle-aged man named Baird brought by the two of them, Director Aldrich announced with a wave of his hand that he had become a temporary worker of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The so-called temporary worker is also because he did not meet the compromise arrangement that Director Aldrich initially requested.

According to the temporary worker agreement, Baird only enjoys 80% of the full salary, and there is a two-month probationary period. Only after meeting the conditions will he become a full-time employee of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and enjoy all the benefits.

Baird didn't think too much about it. He wandered all the way from his hometown in the north-central part of the Rulson Kingdom. The recent days have been very miserable. Now it would be nice to have a place where he can get enough to eat. How could it be? To be picky.

Now that the precedent of Baird was set, Director Aldridge no longer insisted on the previous idea, and slightly relaxed some conditions and restrictions.

In the next three days, with the help of the City Lord's Mansion of Nixi City, Director Aldrich easily recruited 500 temporary workers from the large number of refugees who flocked to Nixi City.

When all 500 people were recruited, the city lord of Nixi City was looking forward to asking Director Aldrich if he needed to recruit more workers, because the recent influx of refugees in Nixi City was too weak, which made him, the city lord, feel a lot of pressure.

If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can help him solve this problem, it will be a great favor to him.

Director Aldrich did not give him a clear answer, but told him that if all goes well, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may recruit a large number of workers to overseas development bases, and then they will have the opportunity to come to Nixi City again to recruit.

After everything was settled, the Third Fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Transport Fleet, which had been docked in Nixi City for more than ten days, left Nixi City.

Among them, three large cargo magic ships were carrying more than 10,000 tons of iron ore to the Principality of Standing, and the other two carried the workers recruited this time and a large amount of base construction materials. Surrounded by frigates, they sailed towards the east sea area of ​​Nissi Port.

This time, five large cargo magic ships from the Third Fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce came to the Principality of Standing. The first task was to transport the large amount of supplies prepared by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to assist the Luerson Kingdom to the Luerson Kingdom, and to complete the previous aid agreement. first part.

The second task is to bring back a large amount of mineral resources obtained from the Rulson Kingdom.

In fact, seriously, this is also part of the aid agreement.

According to the content of this agreement, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will provide assistance to the Luerson Kingdom in all aspects to help them tide over the difficulties. At the same time, it will cooperate with the Luerson Kingdom to continue to strengthen investment in the Luerson Kingdom and improve Lu The current situation within the Kingdom of Wilson.

The price paid by the Luerxun Kingdom is to fully open the kingdom's mineral resource market to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, allowing the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to purchase various minerals at will.

If it weren't for this situation, King Trutz would never have agreed to such a condition.

However, the internal situation of the Luerxun Kingdom is now grim, and various natural disasters have been encountered one after another. The domestic situation is extremely unstable. He has no choice but to turn to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for help.

The last mission of the Third Fleet is to continue to develop the islands in the southern waters of the Endless Sea.

According to the preliminary plan, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will develop seventeen islands located in the southern waters of the Lurson Kingdom and the southern seas of the Candela Empire, and establish corresponding bases and magic signal towers on these islands to ensure smooth communication. This sea area is completely in their own hands.

This time, the 500 workers and a large amount of supplies carried on the two large cargo magic ships of the Third Fleet can only meet the needs of five islands. As for the follow-up, it depends on the initial development situation.

However, just after leaving Nissi Port and traveling less than 300 kilometers to the east of the Endless Sea, the Third Fleet ran into trouble. (To be continued..)
