Chapter 73: Exploration vein (1/2)
Perhaps because I witnessed the changes of the Norma tribe, the Monto patriarch and the two elders were full of hope for cooperation with Xu, so the whole negotiation... Oh no, it can be regarded as a normal negotiation.
It took only a short day, and Xu also negotiated with the Monto family to make almost all the details.
For the 100 dwarf craftsmen offered by the Angolan tribe, Xu also gave the same salary as the dwarves, which are eight gold coins per month.
However, in other welfare benefits, it is worse.
This is because the dwarves such as Camby have been working at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for more than two months. Now they are skilled skilled workers, and the dwarves of the Angolan tribe have just arrived, and naturally it is impossible to have the same treatment.
There is no opinion on the patriarch and the two elders. After all, it is enough for each tribe to get eight gold coins a month to satisfy them.
What's more, Xu also promised to set up a material laboratory in the Angolan tribe, not only to provide fixed research funding of one hundred gold coins per month, but also to study the same results and be finally adopted by the new Feishang Association. Therefore, the reward of five hundred gold coins was obtained.
For the long-lost Angolan tribe, whether it is the salary of eight gold coins per month that the people get to work at the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, or the five hundred gold coins that can be obtained after researching the results, it’s like a long drought. In general, let them only feel very satisfied, and how can they ask more requests at this time.
The dwarves were originally honest and straightforward. Now I feel that Xu has also raised these conditions, just to save them.
So the patriarch and the two elders said that they would also like to bring Xu to the Angolan tribe to be a guest.
Xu also could not stand their enthusiasm, and eventually they could only follow them, accompanied by the Sluka patriarch and Camby, to the Angolan tribe.
Probably because the population is twice as large as the Norma tribe, the dwarves of the Angolan tribe have a slightly better living condition than the previous Norma tribes, but they are also limited in strength and still only barely starve. stage.
However, compared with the current Norma tribe, it is a heaven and a ground.
After walking around the Angolan tribe, Xu also watched a dwarf boy grab the candy he brought with him and couldn’t help but ask the Sluka patriarch: ”I am very surprised, why do the dwarves The life will be so difficult? The dwarves are so hardworking, hard-working, and have strong forging skills. It is reasonable to say that this life should not be lived?”
The Sluka patriarch and the Monto patriarch look at each other and show a smile.
After a while, the sluka patriarch sighed: ”Mr. Xu, this question, in fact, should ask you humans.”
”Oh?” Xu also looked at the Shiluka patriarch curiously. ”why?”
“It’s very simple. Since the race war thousands of years ago, humans have won a great victory, and then all the good places on the entire Sainz continent have been seized. Whether we are dwarves or orcs, The gnomes and goblins and other races that have not been seen for a long time can only live on barren land and cannot get enough food at all. If you want to get food from human hands, you can only pay for it. High price. Xu Huichang, you are from Bangta City, I ask you, how much is a pound of wheat in Bangta City?”
Xu Yi took a moment and thought about it. He replied: ”If you remember correctly, the price should be 14 silver coins.”
”You see, you can buy a pound of silver coins!” The Stuka family snorted and filled with dissatisfaction. ”Do you know how much you have to sell us a pound of wheat?”
Xu also frowned, no need to ask, he knew that the price must be outrageous.
Sure enough, the sluka patriarch stretched out a thick finger.
”A whole gold coin! You can only buy a pound of wheat! Xu Huichang, do you know? Our dwarves have a much larger meal than your human beings. You can eat half a catty of wheat in one meal. That is, A gold coin is only enough for one of our dwarves to eat for a day!” Speaking of the latter, the tone of the sergeant Strauka has brought out a sigh of anger, and it is obvious that he has long been squandered by the high price of wheat sold by humans. ”Our dwarf's only hobby is wine, but brewing fine wine requires more wheat. In order to save the wheat that is not easily exchanged from human hands, our Norma tribe has long banned winemaking. Xu Huichang, you know I know, the last time you came to our tribe, or did I drink for the first time in two years?”
Xu also couldn't help but smile, thinking that for the dwarves who are addicted to alcohol, it is indeed a very painful thing to not drink for two years.
It is no wonder that Xu also promised that when the Camby would give the dwarf craftsmen the wine of the Saatchi Manor as a reward, the dwarf's enthusiasm for work was immediately high.
Thinking of this, Xu is somewhat strange.
”This is not right, the Sluka patriarch, as you said, what do you take to earn gold coins, or what to exchange for the food you need for life?”
“It’s very simple, change it with ore.” The sluka patriarch followed his finger to the high mountain outside the Angolan tribe. ”There are a lot of iron ore in the mountain, and the magic crystal mine. People think that this place is too far away, mining is not cost-effective, it has been left alone, so our dwarves rely on collecting these iron ore and magic crystals to sell to Humans exchange for food.”
