Seeing Luo Linna staring at him with an unclear look, Luo Lin quietly moved back. These days, magicians are equivalent to scientists. They can kill people with a small blade. I have heard that they have done this kind of thing.
.
Luolina gave Lorraine a roll of her eyes and said, "Huh, I won't eat you."
Adele chuckled and said, "It's impossible to explain."
Then Catherine and Hilmeria both looked at Lorena with half-smiling eyes.
An embarrassed expression appeared on Luolina's face, but it disappeared in an instant, and she glared back at them unceremoniously.
Seeing these girls staring like cockfighting cocks, Lorraine laughed dumbly and said: "When General Larry wrote to me and complained that the prisoners of war ate too much, I had already thought of it. These orcs eat my food and drink it."
Mine, you still live in mine, I have to recover some costs, right? There is a lack of manpower to develop the land in the south, but I have a large number of prisoners of war in my hands, so naturally I will target them."
Then Lorraine smiled and shook his head and said: "You won't believe that many orcs have gained weight after living in prisoner-of-war camps for two months. Isn't this a big joke? If word gets out, I'll probably be given a Governor Kaizi.
title."
Catherine asked: "How are you going to use it? If they all come out to work for us, that would be great, but with so many nobles looking at it, it will definitely arouse criticism."
The prisoners of war were all captured by the Naian Army and the Eastern Army. All these are the contributions of the soldiers and civilians of Naian Province and the Eastern Provinces. The issue of the treatment of these prisoners of war is still being discussed in Naian Province. So many orcs were released again and again.
No, Lorraine and the others can't do that kind of thing of killing all the prisoners, not to mention the war is over.
Someone once suggested that all the prisoners of war should be sent to the quarry, but the quarry there could not use so many people, because one thing followed another, and Lorraine did not concentrate on dealing with them.
General Larry, who is dealing with these things, is having a headache.
Anyway, they were idle. As the governor of a province, it was just a matter of words for Lorraine to drag these prisoners of war to his own land to do some private work.
However, there is a shortage of manpower for land development. Lorraine's actions will inevitably attract people's attention, and private criticism is inevitable.
Lorraine said: "Don't worry, I have thought about it a long time ago. Our soldiers worked hard to capture these prisoners of war. When they invaded us, we not only spared their lives, but also gave them delicious food."
After such a long time, these orcs will become a disaster again if they are released to the grassland, so I decided to let them undergo labor reform."
Leo's eyes lit up, he rubbed his fat little chin and said, "There is a way. The boss will tell me clearly how to reform it."
Catherine and the others knew at a glance that this man was leaking bad news again.
Lorraine said: "There are rules in war. Those who are captured can pay a ransom to redeem themselves."
Catherine said: "Then there must be someone willing to ransom. If you are a noble, you have to pay for it yourself. If you are a soldier, the country has to pay for it. But who will pay the ransom for these orcs?"
Lorraine said: "They themselves. My method is to let them work for money, and convert it into cash according to their workload. If it is enough to pay their ransom, then they will be free."
Adele thought for a while and said: "If you do this, wouldn't those orcs become de facto slaves again? We just fought the slave trade some time ago."
Lorraine shook his head and said: "This is different. Slaves have slave owners, and they will be slaves all their lives. The people who need to be compensated for these prisoners of war work are all the people in Nai'an Province, and as long as they do enough, they will eventually be
Be released. As long as the money is spent on the people of Nai'an, no one will dare to gossip."
Leo said: "Tell me, what should we do?"
Lorraine said: "Rent."
"Rent?" Everyone looked at Lorraine in confusion.
Lorraine said: "First of all, I will establish a labor market under the supervision of the government. After registration, these captives will be listed in the labor market. Anyone who wants it can go to the government and pay different wages according to different jobs.
By employing these prisoners of war, a small part of the wages of the prisoners of war will be kept to ensure their livelihood, and the rest will be turned over to the government to pay for people's livelihood projects, such as education, road construction, and rebuilding of villages and towns outside the city.
We can hire five to six thousand orcs and only need to pay a small amount of wages to build these manors.
These orcs are invaders of the empire and have sworn hatred with the people of Nai'an. If anyone dares to gossip about what I do, he should first ask the people of Nai'an if they agree."
Catherine said "hmm" and said: "For these prisoners of war who have no one to ransom, this is indeed a good idea."
Leo looked at Lorraine with admiration and said, "Yes, our people are in charge of this labor market, making these prisoners of war work for us, and blocking everyone's mouths."
He paused for a moment, suddenly woke up, and shouted loudly: "This...isn't this the old method used in Maple Leaf Danlin? At that time, I spent more than a dozen gold coins to get them to pile up a big pile.
Snow Mountain. Those bastards, no matter how much I negotiate, they won’t give in. They make me so angry. But..."
As soon as he changed his voice, he couldn't help but said with a yearning look on his face: "But when I played 'Ride', it was really fun~"
Leo suddenly got excited, jumped on a chair, pulled out a piece of paper, held a pen in his hand, and said: "Boss, after this battle, how many prisoners of war have we captured in total?"
Lorraine said: "All told, there are more than 22,000 orcs in total."
Leo took a pen and scratched on the paper, and said: Boss, what is the ransom we set for these orcs?"
Lorraine shrugged and looked at Catherine, who said: "Soldiers range from fifty to one hundred gold coins. The higher the rank of the officer, the higher the ransom."
Lorraine said: "Then let's tentatively settle on fifty gold coins."
"That's it," Leo said: "If we follow our group's minimum wage standard, these prisoners of war only need to work for five years. If we calculate it based on the income of tenant farmers, it would be ten years."
Lorraine said: "It's almost the same. It's not good if the time is too short or too long. Between five and ten years is just right."
Leo said: "After all, we have an income of millions. Boss, let's talk about it, can our group hire these people? I have long wanted to expand the salt field, but I can't find enough workers."
Lorraine said: "Of course, but the food and lodging of these prisoners and the food and lodging of the guards must be paid by the employer."
Leo wrote as he spoke, "The employer will pay for food and accommodation."
Lorraine said: "If the prisoner dies or becomes disabled during working hours, the employer will bear full responsibility and pay double the compensation."
"That's one hundred gold coins," Leo stopped writing and said, "Boss, you are too cruel."
Lorraine spread his hands and said: "You also know the situation in the quarry. Depending on the high point, these prisoners may not survive more than three years. I can still use them if I keep them."
"But what about those who are sick?" Leo rolled his eyes and said slyly, "They will also pay for the medical expenses. By the way, why don't we also establish a system where medical treatment is not separated? If you want to see a doctor, you can just
You have to eat the flowers I bloom. When the time comes, even a straw stick will sell for a sky-high price. You will trick them to death~!"
"You should be more virtuous~!" Catherine glared, put her hand on Leo's ear, and said, "Just write it like this."
"Oh~!" Leo suddenly calmed down and obeyed obediently.
On the table in the lounge of a Lorraine family, the later infamous "Nai'an Prisoner of War Management Regulations (Interim)" gradually took shape in Leo's hands.
War has always been a high-risk sport.
Its main task is to grab money, stuff, territory, and women. Or it is to prevent others from grabbing its money, stuff, territory, and women.
Therefore, as long as the cost can be afforded, war is also a high-return business.
This is what American devils are like. Before World War II, they were just little boys who followed countries like Britain and France to carry things.
Even the British and French looked down on him as a cannon fodder with a knife to chop people. They didn't let him come until they were really short of manpower.
It was at this time that Pan Daxing, the first five-star general in the history of the United States, nicknamed "General Hammer", took his subordinates to help the British and French fight in groups, and stabbed people with knives.
It was because he argued hard to get rid of the American army and serve as a slave to the bosses, which greatly enhanced the self-esteem and pride of the American people, and made many American people burst into tears of excitement - we finally survived.
When you stand out, you no longer have to engage in lowly jobs like watching shows and collecting loan sharks. Instead, you can use your film knife to go out and kill people~!
That's why...Pan Daxing became the first double bonus in the history of the United States - a five-star general.
Before World War II, when the United States was mentioned...
When the old imperialist countries were sitting together playing cards and having fun, they saw their little friends from the United States coming over to join in the fun with shy faces. Everyone turned their mouths and pretended not to know the poor relative in the countryside.
After World War II, the United States, which was originally an inconspicuous little brother, suddenly rose to the position of leader.
The former Great Britain and France are also known as old imperialist powers, but they all have to look at their faces. And from time to time, they have to be like a little daughter-in-law and suffer from his anger.
Why?
Because of these people, they won the Second World War and successfully developed their own complete industrial system by taking advantage of their geographical advantages during the war.
Nothing else but money~!
And in order to retaliate for the days when it had no money and was always looked down upon by others, it bullied this person and attacked that person all day long. It has never been honest in these years.
That is to say, when I was in North Korea, after being held down and severely punished, I stayed honest for two days. But after a few days, this idiot's scars were healed and he forgot about the pain. He was like a toad, jumping around the world, disgusting people everywhere.
.
Because in the war with the orcs, Lord Lorraine led the army, fought bloody battles, and achieved a decisive victory.
During that war, the Ruman Empire also seized large areas of land in the south.
Lord Lorraine, as the chief executive of Naian Province, immediately sold land aggressively.
You must know that Lord Lorraine is the governor, this is just his official position, it does not mean that all those lands belong to him.
It's like being the general manager of a company. No matter how awesome you are, you are just a wage earner. No matter how good you are at your job, you can only get a dead salary.
Even if there is some kind of year-end bonus with dividends, but no matter what, the directors and chairmen do not earn as much as those directors who do nothing all day long and are idle but own the company's equity.
But there are no other ways.
For example, they took advantage of the opportunity to commit corruption, collected kickbacks, overreported public accounts, extorted bribes, etc. They even claimed to be dismantling the supreme model of "empty-handedness" in the party circles, that is, "management buyout".
Since the chairman of the Ruman Empire is the uncle of Lord Lorraine's girlfriend. If Lorraine plays with his management buyout, although Catherine has no good feelings for the uncle who wants to marry her casually, but once Lorraine
If Lin does this, he will definitely take good care of the Lorraine horse, candles, whips and so on.
And what’s so good about being an emperor?
It’s not just about having money to spend and having a beautiful girlfriend. Do you have the opportunity to enjoy life?
Lord Lorraine already has these things.
For him, it means becoming an emperor, so what?
Not to mention others, let’s take Kangxi, the Tatar who wanted to become a bastard and live another three to five hundred years.
That guy is known as the 'Holy Ancestor', and was even called the 'Kang-Qian Dynasty' by a bunch of brick-and-mortar experts. He lived long enough, and it is said that he was several places high in the ranking list of Chinese emperors.
You're in charge.
Is he awesome enough?
But it’s not like I’m so busy all day long that I’m even more tired than a dog.
Today I was worried about Ao Bai. Ao Shaobao had too much power. In the end, he found a reason to kill such a loyal minister who had followed his family from outside the pass to inside the pass, fought bloody battles, and was loyal to everyone.
I was worried about Wu Sangui tomorrow, so I had to prepare for a fight with him. Then he almost didn’t fight.
The day after tomorrow, there will be a flood somewhere. I need to visit the victims and mobilize supplies to provide relief.
The Rakshasa gang in the north of the day after tomorrow was dishonest and had crossed the line. They wanted to mobilize their trusted general, Chaoji Shuanghuahongguan. Mr. Wei Xiaobao and Wei Gong went over and had a fight with them.
The day after tomorrow, Galdan came to ask for a kiss again. He wanted to marry off his most beloved daughter and marry her to Renren.
Here, I felt like my heart was cut, my heart was bleeding with pain, I gritted my teeth and married off my beloved daughter, with a large dowry.
In a few days, I will cheat again and have a fight with my son-in-law. I will kill Galdan with my own hands again and let my daughter sing "The Little Widow Goes to the Grave".
The day after tomorrow, everything is fine. It’s easy to rest for two days and enjoy life, right?
It turned out that he was not dead yet, and his sons were quarreling again to become emperor~!
The boss wants to be the prince.
The second child became the prince, but he became restless and self-reliant.
It wouldn't be a big deal if that bastard had close contact with the wives of his subordinates.
Even if he went to visit the red light district, he could go deep into the grassroots and experience life. He would just turn a blind eye and not take it seriously.
But that bastard actually seduced his wife and engaged in incest. He cuckolded the majestic Saint Ancestor. Who can tolerate such a strong taste?
The fourth child is a talented person, but he is also cruel and vicious. He is like a rattlesnake. If he is allowed to be the leader, none of the sons he has given birth to with such difficulty will probably be able to win. They will all be killed by him.
It's absolutely killing me.
Lao Ba is a prodigal. In order to have a good reputation, he spends his own money all day long, even embezzling money from the national treasury, to bribe those officials.
Isn't this...isn't this short-sighted?
If you give him your family property, that bastard will lose it all in three days.
Laojiu,
old ten,
Old Thirteen,
fourteen……
Not to mention these little brats, none of them are angry~!
For the sake of the throne, these little bastards formed gangs and fought endlessly all day long, using all kinds of vicious tactics, hoping to beat each other to death.
The conscience of heaven and earth, they are all brothers~!
It's a shame that the old guy Kangxi is so big-hearted that he doesn't take these heart-breaking things to heart. If it were any other person, he would have been tortured crazy by these things, and at the very least he would suffer from mental illness...
For example, why did all those emperors become psychopathic in the end? Xia Jie, Shang Zhou, Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Ming of Tang, Emperor Taizu of Song, etc., may sound very majestic, but some of them are not psychopathic or schizophrenic. Not all of them are caused by these things.
Tossing?
As a result, everyone had no way to vent their mental disorders, so they had no choice but to imitate Xia Jie and Shang Zhou and play a game of fire and wine.
Then there was Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, who were so happy about their achievements that they killed people and shed thousands of miles of blood. Only then did they feel happy.
Further down, that's Tang Xuanzong. Xuan, this word is not a good word. In layman's terms, it means, 'Yah, it's really unreliable, I won't take the title anymore.', robbing one's own son.
Wife Yang Xiaohuan.
Or Song Taizu, that is, he was a little better, but not long after he became the leader, that was the "Candlelight Ax Shadow" incident. In the end, he was killed by his own brother.
How many of these emperors achieved good results in the end?
Let’s not talk about anything else. If we put all the bosses and bosses who are called emperors in China together, half of them have not lived past the age of fifty.
What's more, being an emperor and marrying a wife is not only a happy thing, but more importantly, a political task. It does not mean that you can marry whomever you want.
First of all, you have to pass the political test. Look at whether your family history is clean and whether you have ever been a traitor.
The second is to look at morality, whether it is virtuous and virtuous, and whether it is stable or not.
The third is to see whether the body is healthy, whether the butt is big, and whether it is possible to give birth.
…
The last item is to see whether the person is beautiful or not.
And it’s not about being beautiful, it’s about being unattractive.
If it's too beautiful, you can't ask for it. Because there is the example of Su Daji in front of you. You definitely can't ask for a vixen whose beauty is a disaster, so as not to confuse the emperor and make him ignore the government affairs, which will cause disaster for the country and the people.
.
Just think about it~!
If you pick these conditions one by one, what else will be left?
