The Sandy River flows eastward from the Forest of Falling Rain. When it passes through the Principality of Mirando, it is renamed the Mirando River. However, it flows eastward for another 700 kilometers and passes through the not particularly wide land of the Principality of Mirando. After that, he entered another principality - the Principality of Norton. ⊙Ding⊙dian⊙小⊙ said,
Since this river only traveled less than 50 kilometers in the Principality of Norton, it would flow into a clear and wide lake. Therefore, it was not renamed Norton River by the Norton people, but it still maintained the name Mirando River. name.
However, after it was poured into the lake named Mingjing Lake by the locals, and then led out from the lake and extended to the northeast as a river that was more than twice as wide, it completely changed its appearance and became Norton. The largest and most important river in the principality - the Amphail River.
According to legend, more than 3,000 years ago, Anfil, the most famous female warrior among humans, was bathing in Mingjing Lake, but she encountered a strong man from the elves. The two started a fierce battle on Mingjing Lake, and finally opened Mingjing Lake. A huge gap was opened, and the lake water poured out, forming a river.
So later generations named this river Amphier River.
In the junction area where the Amphail River flows out of Mirror Lake, not far from the lake, there is a small town called Noxus Town.
Because it is close to Mirror Lake, it is not far from the borders of the Principality of Mirando and the Kingdom of Luersun, and it is backed by the Mirror and Amphail Rivers. At the same time, the most important road in the Principality of Norton passes through the town. , so the size of Noxus Town is much larger than other towns in the Principality of Norton, and is even comparable to some cities.
And whether you are starting from the Principality of Mirando or the Kingdom of Luersun, if you want to go to the Candela Empire. All must pass through here. So the town of Noxus is bustling all year round.
Thanks to these travelers passing by. The life of the people in the town is also much better than that in other places in the Principality of Norton. When facing compatriots from other places in the principality, and even people from the Principality of Mirando and the Kingdom of Luersun, they feel more or less happy. They all seem a bit superior.
However, in the past two months, the sense of superiority in the hearts of the residents of Noxus has disappeared.
The reason is simple. A group of people appeared in front of them whose lives were obviously much better than theirs.
It would be fine if these people were wealthy aristocratic businessmen, but these people were obviously ordinary people. Compared with their status, there is no dignity at all.
Among these people, Father Mavor, who lives in an elite tavern at the entrance to Noxus Town, is one of them.
Seeing three young strong men covered in dust and dirt, whose bodies and faces were so dirty that it was almost impossible to see their true colors, walked into the tavern together. Father Mavor did not even try to drive these three guys out who looked like beggars. Instead of thinking, he put on an eager smile and greeted the three of them.
"Hey, are you guys off work?"
The three strong men glanced around the tavern and chose an empty table to sit down. One of them patted the table and shouted loudly: "Dad Mavol. As usual, bring two kilograms of wine first."
"Okay. Coming right away."
Father Mavor responded, and quickly packed two kilograms of the best wine in the store, then held two plates of cooked beef and smiled.
After putting the food and wine away, Father Mavor asked smoothly: "What? You don't have to work in the afternoon? Are you here to drink at noon?"
The three strong men laughed together, and the strong man who spoke just now waved his hand: "It is said that some important person's convoy will pass through the road today. The supervisor said that road construction should be suspended and that the big person should make way first and wait for the big person to pass by. , we’ll start working again tomorrow.”
"That's it..." Father Mavol nodded, a little curious. "I don't know who this big shot is, but just to let him pass, he made your Amuli Chamber of Commerce stop working. It's such a shame."
"I heard that he is a big shot in the Kandra Empire. He came from the Luersun Kingdom and plans to return to the Kandra Empire. I don't know who he is specifically."
"From the Candela Empire? That's really a big shot. No wonder..."
Father Mavor murmured and turned back to the counter.
Just after cleaning up, a few more black shadows flashed past the door, and several strong men who were also dirty poured in.
Seeing these strong men walking in with the same clothes as the three strong men just now, Dad Mavor immediately stepped forward with a smile and greeted them.
These workers of the Armley Chamber of Commerce are generous with their money, and they never cause trouble because they are drunk. It can be said that they are the most popular guests in all the pubs and restaurants in the town.
Although they always look a little dusty due to the construction of roads, as long as the gold coins they take out are genuine, it will not prevent Father Mavor from giving them the most genuine and warm smile.
But in his spare time, Father Mavor would always mutter to himself.
I don’t know where this Armli Chamber of Commerce comes from. Why does it give such good treatment to its workers
Father Mavor once took the time to go to the road construction site to observe, and found that most of the work done by these workers was simple physical work. In addition to the work he could not understand, they occasionally operated some equipment that he had no idea what to do. Qi Weiguai's machine doesn't seem to be difficult at all.
Moreover, the working hours of these workers are very fixed, from 8 am to 12 noon every day, from 2 pm to 6 pm, and they have a fixed day off every week.
This kind of work seems to be extremely easy for Dad Mavor.
But the Armley Chamber of Commerce offered surprising salaries to these workers.
From the figures undoubtedly revealed by a drunken worker, it can be known that the lowest handyman at this Armli Chamber of Commerce road construction site can earn more than fifteen gold coins every month.
At a slightly more advanced level, skilled workers who need to operate those large-scale engineering magic machines can even earn an astonishing income of more than twenty, or even close to thirty gold coins every month.
You know, Father Mavor has been running this tavern in the small town of Noxus for many years, getting up early and working late every day. Hardly ever taking a break. Throughout the year, the income is only between 300 and 400 gold coins.
And these workers do such an easy job. The annual income is not much less than him.
As for the townspeople in ordinary Noxus towns, they are several times stronger.
Therefore, in the more than a month since the Armley Chamber of Commerce built the road outside the town of Noxus, many young people in the town have become interested and want to join the Armley Chamber of Commerce.
It was a pity that the Amri Chamber of Commerce came all the way from the Lampali Kingdom, which was thousands of kilometers away. According to regulations, they could not recruit people from the Norton Principality as workers at will, so they rejected everyone's job applications.
However, it is said that the mayor is currently actively applying to the principal's senior officials to approve the Armli Chamber of Commerce to recruit workers locally in the Norton Principality.
And it is said that the road built by the Amri Chamber of Commerce in the Norton Principality will run through the entire principality and eventually even penetrate into the Kandra Empire. The entire project lasts for one and a half years, which means that they will stay in the Norton Principality for a year and a half, so it is very likely that the Principality will eventually reach an agreement with the Armley Chamber of Commerce to allow it to recruit local workers.
Thinking of this, Father Mavol's heart moved. He came to the table where the three strong men were sitting, sat down on the empty chair, and smiled at the three of them: "Well... I have something to ask you about."
The three of them often come to this tavern to drink, and they are already very familiar with Father Mavol. They nodded when they heard this.
"Say. What's the matter?"
Father Mavor thought for a moment and considered his words. Asked: "These jobs you do...are there any requirements?"
"Request?" The three of them looked at each other and shrugged. "There are no requirements, just have strength and stamina. Of course, different types of work are different. The three of us are different. I am mainly responsible for mixing concrete. I just need to grasp the proportion of materials and operate the magic concrete mixer well. The two of them They are all responsible for paving the road, so they need to be able to operate the magic vibrator and smooth the road, which requires a bit of experience and technology. "
"Oh... Then what can a new person do if he joins your chamber of commerce?" Father Mavor asked again.
The man glanced at Father Mavor and said with a smile: "What? Father Mavor, do you have any relatives who want to come and work with us?"
Father Mavor chuckled: "A nephew of mine who lives far away is interested, do you think it's okay?"
The three of them shook their heads: "We have nothing to say about this. We have to ask the supervisor. However, I heard that the supervisor mentioned that the Chamber of Commerce has not yet reached an agreement with your Norton Principality. If you want to recruit local workers, it will probably have to wait for a while. It’s time.”
"That's it..."
Father Mavor lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned back to the counter and cut a plate of cooked beef again, brought it over and placed it on the table for three people. He said with a smile: "Then if there is any news, please help me pay attention to it. Let me know in time so I can tell my nephew."
The three of them looked at the cooked beef on the table, which was obviously much larger than a normal plate, and laughed.
"Don't worry, we will tell you any news in time."
One of them paused, but suddenly thought of something, and said: "Dad Mavor, actually you can tell your nephew that there is no need to be in such a hurry, and there is no need to come to our Amli Chamber of Commerce. Our construction site Although he earns a lot of money, the work is very dirty and tiring, and it is not a particularly good job, so he may not be used to it.”
"That's much better than sitting around at home or farming all day long." Dad Mavor said with a smile. "Young people, what are you afraid of when you are dirty and tired?"
"This is true. But when I left the Lampali Kingdom before, I heard that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce seemed to be coming to your Norton Principality to invest soon. Your Noxus town is in this position, and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce I won’t let you go. When the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce comes, you won’t have to worry about work.”
"New Flying Chamber of Commerce?" Father Mavol frowned and thought for a while. "I really want to hear a lot of people mention the name of this chamber of commerce. What? Is this Xinfei Chamber of Commerce very powerful? Why does it invest in us so that people here don't have to worry about work?"
"Awesome? Haha, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is more than just awesome!" The man looked proud, as if he was bragging about himself. "Let me tell you, as long as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing to invest in one or two factories in your town, I can guarantee that your entire town will be completely changed. I know that the Principality of Mirando is closest to Ampreis, our Kingdom of Lampali. Ampton Town? It’s because Xinfei Chamber of Commerce invested there, and now this town is about to become Ampleton City!”
"Really?" Daddy Mavor was doubtful.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce, how can it be so powerful? (To be continued...)
