I have millions of wage earners - Chapter 996
c978 Long Shao’s Village
From the conversation here, Flynn could tell that probably because of his own reasons, the treatment of this old-fashioned feudal manor had been improved a lot.
In the past, the farm workers in the manor lived and ate in the manor and received very low wages.
Although the salary is not high now, it has been somewhat improved.
In addition, even though the treatment in the manor has improved a lot, a large number of people still choose to leave the manor and go to the outside world, to the city that has been modernized by Flynn.
In the past, the peasant workers in these manors, although they were not slaves of the feudal lords, were largely dependent on the lords.
If they encounter a stronger lord, their personal freedom will also be restricted.
But now, it’s different.
The general environment has changed, and even powerful lords are increasingly afraid to restrict the freedom of their people.
Because once discovered, they will definitely be punished by the law.
Sure enough, even a completely closed feudal manor cannot remain unchanged in this era.
Flynn was generally quite satisfied with the situation inside the manor.
It is true that there are still many backward places, but profound changes have indeed taken place.
Flynn planned to tell the Senate after he returned that the next step would be to crack down on these feudal closed manors.
This will naturally infringe on the interests of some old-school feudal lords – but the resistance should not be too great.
After all, even if Flynn does not pass an executive order, we can still see that these feudal manors are already on the road to disintegration.
Letting the Senate issue an order would only add a handful of firewood to the fire.
After leaving the feudal manor, Flynn went to a nearby mine.
It’s said to be a mine, but it’s actually just a small clay pit.
This kind of industry is also the target of Flynn’s support and promotion – industrial upgrading!
The small industry near Super City is because it is close to the core area where Flynn rules.
So most of them are relatively formal.
Flynn also wanted to know whether there would be some bullying of workers in small mines like this that are relatively remote and have no one to control them.
Then Flynn actually saw it!
During lunch time in the mine, Flynn heard some workers complaining about better treatment elsewhere and thinking about changing jobs.
Originally this was nothing.
Because according to Flynn’s visual inspection – this clay mine is indeed relatively poor. The working environment is poor, the food is poor, and the work intensity is high. Basically, he works more than 14 hours a day.
Such a bad mine, if the treatment is not good, it will naturally not attract any workers.
The workers here are highly mobile, so it is normal for their thoughts to be agitated.
When he saw this, Flynn thought it was normal.
After all, it is normal for such a remote small mine to be a little rubbish. If this remote small mine can be compared with the regular factories and mines near Super City, then it will be abnormal!
But what makes Flynn angry is that there is actually a player giving lectures here.
Moreover, they all said very speechless things.
“You have to thank your boss for giving you the job opportunity, otherwise you would all starve to death!”
“Before complaining, don’t think about what you got, think about whether the contribution you made is worth your reward?”
“If you don’t work overtime and I don’t work overtime, who will build our Iron Hill Kingdom!”
“You only work 14 hours a day and you complain all the time. Do you know that we brave men work 24 hours a day?”
“With your current level, you still want to resign? Haha, you will definitely be sucked to death if you go to Super City!”
“If you don’t work hard, how can our mines develop? Are we inherently inferior?”
“Strivers! Don’t be lonely!”
Flynn was speechless after hearing this. What the hell is this?
Are they the players specially invited to act as trustees?
Flynn wished he could give this guy permission on the spot.
But after thinking about it, Flynn felt that he couldn’t do this, otherwise he would really become a decadent feudal lord.
Remember, this is how the Bourbon dynasty died.
So Flynn shook his head and quietly left the mine where the boss specially invited brave men to come and give speeches.
Flynn recorded in a small notebook that he planned to let the Council of Elders publicize it after he returned.
While traveling and inspecting remote areas in the country, Flynn soon arrived at the northern border of the Iron Hill Kingdom.
Beyond the border is a paradise for brave men to take risks and fight.
Although it is not yet 100% safe outside the border, due to the efforts of the brave men to kill monsters, the safety factor of the border areas of Iron Hill Kingdom has been greatly improved.
I believe that after a while, the monsters within close range outside the border will be completely cleared away.
By that time, the northern border of Iron Hill Kingdom will expand again.
Here, Flynn saw several border villages, all of which were undergoing construction in full swing.
The fiefdom village that dragged Master Long was right here.
It no longer matters what the village once was called.
But now, Mr. Long was dragged into the village and changed its name to Longteng Village.
As a poor border village, a poor-to-poor place with a population of less than 200 people, it was no wonder that it was named Longteng Village.
It was a good thing that Flynn didn’t avoid taboos. Otherwise, the name Longteng Village alone would have been enough to show the rebellion of Master Long and send him to death row.
Longteng Village used to be really crowded.
But now, it can be said that a shotgun is replaced by a cannon.
After a new brave man became the lord, several hired NPCs also came to Longteng Village, which brought great convenience to the development of the village.
And more importantly, Longteng Village, which is close to the border, now has a safe development environment.
In the past, the villagers could only hide near the village in the ravine and barely survive.
But now, after the surrounding environment is safe, the villagers have gone up the mountains and rivers to open up wasteland and cut trees, increasing the cultivated land area of the entire village more than ten times!
There is more land available, food production is higher, and there is more space for agricultural activities such as cutting firewood, hunting, and fishing.
With more space, various products have become richer, and the development is led by the NPC brought by Mr. Kuangzhao.
After one operation, Longteng Village really took off like a giant dragon taking off.
It’s not just that.
In the eyes of many traditional lords, border villages were a huge disadvantage, with less money and more trouble.
But since the Age of Braves, being located on the border is no longer a disadvantage, but has become a location advantage.
Of course, it cannot be said that villages in border areas are better than villages in inland areas.
But at least, the border villages have their own advantages – that is, it is convenient for the braves to fight monsters.
Especially villages on the northern border like Longteng Village, because they are located on the edge of the human world, are relatively close to the territory where wild monsters are distributed.
