After entering November, even though the Luersun Kingdom is located in the south of Sainz continent, the weather will inevitably become colder.
The cold wind blew from the north, mixed with the sea breeze, and 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 and glanced at a few ragged people huddled in the corner across the street. He couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.
"Has the Kendra Empire's blockade had such a serious impact on the Luersun Kingdom? There are even more beggars than usual here in Nixi City."
The companion Sco on the side glanced at those people, chuckled, curled his lips, and looked disdainful.
"They're just lazy people. Although the job opportunities in the Luersun Kingdom are far less than those in our Lampali Kingdom and Standing Principality, they are much better than before, right? Not to mention anything else, just our new flight The Chamber of Commerce has opened more than a dozen factories in the Luersun Kingdom. If these people were not lazy, how could they not find a job? "
"That's not necessarily the case." Roddick obviously disagreed with Sco's view. "After the Luersun Kingdom was blocked by the Candela Empire and other countries, none of the domestic products can be sold. I heard from people in our chamber of commerce in Kuraka City that many magic machines are now closed in the Luersun Kingdom. Many chambers of commerce, factories, and other chambers of commerce have also been closed. Therefore, there are far fewer job opportunities in the Luersun Kingdom than before. It cannot be said that they cannot find jobs because they are lazy. "
"Isn't it because of laziness?" Sco still looked disdainful. "Our chamber of commerce's recruitment notice has been posted at the port for more than a week, right? It turns out that it hasn't recruited five hundred people yet. You said these guys are not lazy? Then why don't they come to apply?"
"This... After all, this job requires me to be far away from my hometown, and even far away from the continent of Sainz. I may not be able to go back home once a year. It is understandable that they are unwilling to go..."
"Exactly. The people from the Luersun Kingdom are just hypocritical. A lot of us from the Lampali Kingdom and the Standing Principality have gone. These days, as long as you can earn gold coins, it's not the same everywhere. With money, , that’s not to say you can do whatever you want.”
Scoo's words were drooling, his expression was full of contempt, and he did not lower his voice at all. It seemed that he was not afraid that what he said would be heard by the people in the Luersun Kingdom around him.
Roddick smiled bitterly and shook his head, knowing that he could never defeat this companion. I didn't bother to argue with him anymore.
But deep down, he somewhat agreed with what Sco said.
This time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce openly recruited a large number of employees in the Luersun Kingdom, and also gave a quota of 500 workers to develop island bases on the endless sea. This was originally because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Luersun Kingdom signed an aid agreement. It's part of it.
However, unexpectedly, these Luersun people were not very enthusiastic about these job opportunities. They would rather stay like beggars in the relatively warm Nisi Port than apply for the jobs offered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
If it were Roddick a few years ago, he might have agreed with their reluctance to leave their hometown.
But since joining the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet, Roddick has followed the transport fleet all over the country in the past few years, even as far as the southeastern corner of the mainland thousands of kilometers away. My experience is different from the past, and I no longer have the thought of staying in my hometown for the rest of my life. On the contrary, I am very willing to go out and experience more.
And as Sco said, as long as he can earn gold coins, that person will be the same wherever he is.
After taking another look at the people nestled in the opposite corner, Roddick shook his head and turned to leave.
After taking only two steps, a person suddenly appeared next to them and blocked their way.
The two of them were startled by him. Sco glanced at him and found that the man's clothes were in tatters, his hair was disheveled, and his face was dirty. He couldn't help but muttered, then took out two silver coins from his arms and threw them away. passed.
"Here, take it and buy two steamed buns to eat. Don't block the road here."
The man was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, grinned, and asked: "You two, you just said... that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is recruiting workers?"
Both of them were startled. Sco looked 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 in embarrassment: "Well... I haven't read a book and I don't know how to read..."
Sco and Roddick were startled again, and then Sco clapped his hands vigorously.
"So that's it! 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." After finishing speaking, Scoo pulled the man and said, He asked excitedly: "Do you want to join our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
The man nodded blankly: "Yes. I heard that the treatment given by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is very good..."
"Of course, if the treatment of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not good, then no chamber of commerce in the entire continent would dare to say bad things. Come on, I'll take you there!"
Sco turned around and was about to stride towards the port, but Roddick grabbed his arm and pulled him aside.
"Hey, Sco, Director Aldrich deliberately posted the notice just to recruit some people who can at least be literate, so that it will be easier to train. This person can't read, why are you dragging him over?"
Sco rolled his eyes at Roddick: "This is Director Aldrich's overestimation. Let alone the Kingdom of Luersen, even in the Principality of Standing, there are only a handful of literate people. How can we recruit so many people?" Literate people. If this delay continues, the plan will be affected. If the president asks, who will bear the responsibility? I will talk to Director Aldrich about this later. , Don’t be too rigid.”
Roddick rolled his eyes and felt that what Sco said was reasonable, so he let go of him and stopped trying to persuade him.
So the two took the man to Nisi Port and met Director Aldrich at the office set up by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce next to the port.
After hearing what Sco said, Aldrich, who was the director of the third fleet of the New Aviation Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet, thought about it briefly and felt that it made sense, and he no longer insisted on his previous plan.
After doing some brief tests on the middle-aged man named Baird they brought, Director Aldrich announced with a wave of his hand that he had become a temporary employee of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
The so-called temporary worker can be regarded as a compromise arrangement because he did not meet the initial request of Director Aldrich.
According to the temporary labor agreement, Baird only enjoys 80% of the full salary and has a two-month probationary period. Only after meeting the conditions will he become a regular employee of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce and enjoy all benefits.
Baird didn't think so much. He wandered all the way from his hometown in the north-central part of the Luersun Kingdom. His life has been very miserable recently. Now it would be great to have a place where he can eat well. How could this happen? Go picky.
Now that Baird had set a precedent, Director Aldrich no longer insisted on his previous ideas and slightly relaxed some of the conditions.
Within the next three days, Director Aldrich, with the help of the Lord's Palace of Nixi City, easily recruited 500 temporary workers from the large number of refugees who came to Nixi City.
When all 500 people were recruited, the city owner of Nixi City also asked Director Aldrich if he needed to recruit more workers with great anticipation, because the recent influx of refugees in Nixi City was too weak, which put him, the city owner, under a lot of pressure.
If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can help him solve this problem, it will be a big help to him.
Director Aldrich did not give him a clear answer, but just told him that if everything goes well, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may recruit a large number of workers who will go to overseas development bases, and then they will have the opportunity to come to Nixi City again for recruitment.
After everything was settled, the third fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet, which had been docked in Nixi City for more than ten days, left Nixi City.
Three of the large cargo magic ships sailed towards the Principality of Standing carrying more than 10,000 tons of iron ore. The other two carried the workers recruited this time and a large amount of base construction materials. On the ten ships Surrounded by frigates, they sailed towards the eastern waters of Nissi Port.
This time, five large cargo magic ships of the Third Fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Transport Fleet came to the Principality of Standing. Their first task was to transport a large amount of materials prepared by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to assist the Kingdom of Lursun to the Kingdom of Lursun to complete the previous aid agreement. first part.
The second task is to load up the large amount of mineral resources obtained from the Luersun Kingdom and bring them back.
In fact, seriously speaking, 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 Kingdom of Luxun in all aspects to help them tide over the difficulties. At the same time, it will also cooperate with the Kingdom of Luxun to continue to strengthen investment in the Kingdom of Luxun and improve the Kingdom of Luxun. The current situation within the Wilson Kingdom.
The price paid by the Luersun Kingdom was 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 were not for this situation, King Trutz would never have agreed to such conditions.
However, the current internal situation in the Luersun Kingdom was severe, and various natural disasters happened one after another. The domestic situation was extremely unstable. He had no choice but to seek help from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
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 in the southern waters of the Luersun Kingdom and the southern waters of the Candela Empire, and establish corresponding bases and magic signal towers on these islands to ensure smooth communication and This sea area is completely in your own hands.
This time, the 500 workers and a large amount of materials 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 will depend on the initial development situation.
However, just after leaving Nissi Port and traveling less than three hundred kilometers to the east of the Endless Sea, the Third Fleet ran into trouble. (To be continued...)
