Early the next morning, the miners who had collapsed in the mines rushed back one after another. At the same time, under Domei's introduction, all the citizens of Cabrina City met Suojia, and reminded Domei that the island
There isn't much food left. If Domei doesn't set off quickly to transport food and daily necessities back, people may starve to death.
Hearing the words of the city representative, Suojia smiled slightly and signaled Domei to retreat. Then... Suojia smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone should know that the six-winged phoenix angel is my subordinate, Suojia, so...
...From now on, their mission has become my mission, and I have become the one you need to be loyal to, which means that from now on, I am your city lord!"
Hearing Suojia's words, everyone couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then... the old man stood up again last time and said respectfully: "Dear Sir, we don't ask for much now, as long as you can guarantee our lives,
And guarantee our future life, then we will recognize you as the city lord."
With a slight smile, Suojia nodded and said: "Since I want to be your city lord, of course I will take care of you. Now I want to know, as a city citizen, what are your requirements?"
After hearing Suojia's words, the old man hesitated for a moment, and then said decisively: "Our requirements are not high. In the event of a disaster, the first thing we need is material support. Secondly... we hope that you can effectively protect our safety."
, we will no longer lose our lives due to pirate attacks, and finally... I hope our treatment can remain the same as before!"
Frowning slightly, Suojia said: "I believe there is no problem with your first request. You have also seen that we now have 177 super giant Camus-class sailing ships, and there are also 50 Ka
The Miao-class sailing ship is waiting for us to pick it up at the shipyard, so... there is absolutely no problem with the transportation of supplies. Even if you have ten times more people, we will never be unable to supply it!"
"Oh!" Hearing Suojia's words, all the city residents couldn't help but cheered. Just as Suojia said, the sailing ships like clouds had blocked the outside of the harbor. Such a powerful city lord was a historical figure.
What is surprising is that there has never been a city lord with such a large fleet in history, not even close to half of its level.
Seeing the cheering expressions of the citizens, Suojia smiled and nodded, and then continued: "As for ensuring your safety, there is no need to worry about this. If even this cannot be guaranteed, then this city lord is simply
Waste! Although I can't come up with specific measures now, I have the determination and the ability to do everything well!"
"Oh!" After hearing Suojia's words, all the city residents cheered again. That's what happened. Suojia's words did not make everyone doubt. In this world, as long as you have money, you can do anything.
If you are willing to spend money, someone will naturally be willing to help you defend the city!
After cheering for a long time, Suojia stretched out his hands slightly to signal everyone to calm down, then frowned and said: "What I need to ask now is the third request, because I don't know, what was your previous treatment like?
"
After hearing what Suojia said, the representative of the city residents, the old man, said: "In the past, our city lord stipulated that we could receive a fixed salary every day. In the past, our daily salary was 10 quotients.
Used to maintain our daily life, I don’t know..."
"Ten Shang!" Suojia was stunned, and looked at the surrounding city residents in shock. What can you do with this money? If it is ten Shang, in addition to buying some food, daily necessities, clothing and other things, there is no other way.
It's impossible to save much money. You know, the sailors on the Suojia ship are paid 100 yuan a day, which is three to four thousand yuan a month.
Seeing Suojia's stunned expression, all the city residents couldn't help but grimace, thinking that Suojia had too much, but under the current situation, it was no longer up to them to decide whether to have more or less. Everyone knew that,
If Suojia stops flirting, then they will all starve to death collectively!
While thinking, the old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "This... Lord Suojia, if you think it's too much, I think... we can maintain our lives with eight merchants for one day, but if it's less, we
At once……"
"Stop!" With a wry smile, Suojia said: "You have misunderstood. I don't think you ask for too much. On the contrary, I think it is too little. If you only receive so much in a day, it seems that you can barely make ends meet.
Do you have enough food and clothing?"
"This..." Hesitantly looked at Suojia for a long time, and the old man said bitterly: "Indeed, as the city lord said, if we pay 10 business a day, we can barely maintain our lives, but... this is our life, after all
… Mining is the most humble job in the world, and we don’t ask for much. As long as we can maintain food and clothing and feed our family, that’s enough.”
Hearing the old man's words, Suojia pondered. He could immediately raise the miners' wages to 100 quotient per day. But in this way, although everyone would be grateful, the gratitude would pass quickly. This is how people are, no matter it is
Once you accept something, you will get used to it over time, think that it is what you deserve, and forget to be grateful.
There has always been only one way for everyone to remember these kindnesses, and that is bonuses, which are given out every month. For these extra wealth, everyone will naturally be grateful, and they will be grateful every month. Of course...
...The amount of the bonus must be changed. Sometimes it is ridiculously large, sometimes it is pitifully small, so that everyone is always full of expectations for the city lord. This is the kingly way!
Secondly, in addition to bonuses, there are benefits. These are intangible rewards, but they are closer to everyone’s hearts. Welfare comes in many forms, and may be expensive or cheap, but no matter how much or how little, it can have a strong impact.
It gathers everyone's sense of belonging and allows everyone to automatically unite around Suojia.
While thinking, Suojia said decisively: "Okay, 300 quotients per month, right? I agreed to this request, but... in addition to the 300 quotients per month, I will award each of you based on your work performance.
Bonus, if you do good work you will be rewarded, if you do bad work you will get no points at all!”
"Ah!" The old man opened his mouth in shock, and said tremblingly: "City Lord! 300 merchants per month are indispensable. If we don't have this money, we will really starve to death!"
With a wry smile, Suojia shook his head and said: "You still don't understand what I mean. Bonuses and wages are calculated separately. No matter how good your work performance is, your wages will definitely be paid. 300 quotient per month is definitely not a penny.
Only the bonuses change, the more you work, the more you get, the less you work, the less you get, and if you don’t work, you get nothing!”
"Wow!" After hearing Suojia's words, all the city residents couldn't help but scream in horror. This is equivalent to saying that in addition to the basic salary, everyone will get an extra income, and everyone believes that Suojia will not be stingy.
If he is stingy, he does not need to set up this bonus at all. Otherwise, if he sets it up and does not pay it out, he will only shoot himself in the foot!
Seeing everyone's horrified look, Suojia smiled and continued: "In order to make everyone feel at ease to work, everyone will also receive a welfare income every month, maybe a bag of rice, maybe a basket of vegetables, or
It's a piece of fabric. In short... I will try my best to use welfare to make everyone worry-free about food and clothing. However, I hope everyone will pay attention to the fact that the amount of welfare is also linked to everyone's hard work! As the same saying goes, the more you work, the more you will get.
If you work less, you will get less; if you don’t work, there will be nothing!”
Hearing Suojia's three major policies, all the city residents couldn't help but cheer. With the new city owner, they not only retained the basic salary of the ten merchants, but also an unknown amount of bonuses and benefits. This kind of treatment had never been heard before.
Never heard of it.
Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Suojia continued: "And I promise that as long as you work in our city for 30 years, even if you don't work in the future, you will receive a salary from the company equivalent to your total salary for 30 years.
The money, and...our city is responsible for taking care of your food, clothing, housing, and transportation for the rest of your life, so that you can spend your old age peacefully!"
Facing Suo Jia's ground-breaking proposal, everyone couldn't help but froze. No one spoke, they just looked at Suo Jia blankly. With so many benefits, everyone no longer knew how to express it.
Looking at everyone's horrified expressions, Suojia couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. In fact, such a big city cannot be built by Suojia and his team alone. The key is to rely on everyone to build it themselves. You know
, Suojia and others have no time to stay here, they still have to continue exploring the great trade route.
There is no absolute loyalty in this world. The so-called loyalty is because the stakes for betrayal are too low. Therefore... if you want everyone to be truly loyal, you must tie everyone's interests with Suojia's interests. In addition,
There is no other way, interests are always the best bond!
(Your one click warms my entire coding life. Log in to read literature together and support genuine literature) All the goods were unloaded from the ship. Because they knew the situation here, the 177 large sailing ships were loaded with
Food, clothing, daily necessities, etc., after all...if you bring other things, they won't be sold here.
However, Suojia has not directly distributed it to everyone for free. In Suojia's mind, tasks and things in this world cannot be obtained for free. If you want to get something, you must give something, even if it is love.
Therefore, Suojia moved food, clothing, and daily necessities into the renovated warehouses, filling hundreds of warehouses. Then he selected some sailors with trading experience from the ship to temporarily serve as exchange managers.
boss.
Of course, for now, the city residents have no money, but Suojia gave each person a one-time settlement fee of 1,000 merchants as a meeting gift. At the same time... he also thanked everyone for supporting him to take over as the city leader.
This sum of 14 million was spent. To run a city well, the amount of money required is extremely exaggerated!
Most people only see how much Suojia earns, but in fact, the monthly salary of more than 20,000 crew members on 177 ships has reached nearly 100 million. This is the main reason why no one dares to build such a large fleet.
.
But next, Suojia didn't have much time to waste here, so he parted ways with Xiang Yunjie again, drove the Suojia speedboat alone, transported a batch of precious metals to the Thunder Pirates, and stopped by the Mercenary Association in a nearby city.
, issued hundreds of protection tasks in a row, and the targets of protection were all the newly built Suojia City!
As hundreds of protection tasks were issued, another 100 million merchants went out. Although this was just a small sum of money to Suojia, Suojia felt the difficulty of the task. Although he now has 8 trillion, you must know
, every month, the part that needs to be paid is 100 million crew wages, 100 million city residents' wages and bonuses, 100 million mercenary group fees, and 10 billion city tax guarantees. Once you sit on the throne of the lord of Suojia City,
As for the throne, he must submit a guaranteed tax of 10 billion to the Commercial Road Exchange every month, and after future transactions occur, the tax will continue to increase, reaching an exaggerated level of 100 billion a month at the highest!
Although Suojia has a lot of money on hand, this money is limited. Take gems as an example. After two more ships, there will be no more gems for him in a short period of time. For a long time, he will not have any more.
You may make money from gems again, but you still have to spend more on these expenses as usual, and you will spend more!
With the help of Suojia's speedboat, Suojia quickly rushed back to the Thunder Pirates headquarters and unloaded the steel from the ship. Although this was still far from what the Thunder Pirates needed, it was enough to exchange for a batch of agate.
You must know that although the Thunder Speedboat is fast, the cargo it carries is very small, almost negligible. It relies entirely on Suojia, Mia, and Nico's thirty space rings to carry the cargo.
After handing over the steel, Suojia loaded agate on the pirate island, found a port to dump it out, then turned the ship around and headed directly towards Duofei, filled it with gems, and rushed towards Suojia City again.
After selling the gems along the way, Suojia's total assets finally exceeded the 10 trillion mark, reaching the terrifying height of 1.12 trillion!
However, Suojia was not satisfied. He returned to Suojia City, the original city of Cabrina. Suojia once again loaded up a ship of precious metals, and then divided the other fleet into two.
Led by Xiang Yunjie and Nicomia, one group was led by Domei's collaborative partners, respectively responsible for delivering supplies to Suojia City. One group set off immediately and went to the shipyard to collect the remaining 50 Camus-class sailing ships.
Then rush directly to Thunder Pirate Island to sell free agate there.
Under the leadership of Xiang Yun, Roger, Nico, and Mia, the fleet bypassed the Triangle of Terror and picked up 50 Camus-class sailing ships. After increasing the number of ships in the fleet to 120, they went straight to the pirates.
A month later, when they arrived at the pirate island, Suojia had already used his speed to gather all the steel needed by the Thunder Pirates!
The female pirate leader did not break her promise and allowed Xiang Yun and others to fill 120 ships of agate and leave. At the same time, Suojia had already driven a speedboat back to Suojia City and started infrastructure construction. At this moment... Suojia's general manager
Funds reached 15 trillion!
When he returned to Suojia City again, the place had completely changed. As soon as he arrived near the dock, Suojia frowned. The debris floating on the seaside, especially the beach stained red with blood, told Suojia that something must have happened here recently.
An extremely brutal battle!
While thinking, Suojia approached the dock, stepped off the boat, and ordered the staff on the dock to lift his speedboat to the shore. He must not lose this priceless speedboat. This is something that cannot be copied.
Suojia bought the shipbuilding materials from an entire city outside the great trade route and gathered them together.
Entering Suojia City, the once deserted streets were now full of shaking figures, but... these guys were all wearing battle armor. Although the armor was relatively tattered, they were obviously mercenaries.
Suojia frowned slightly. He didn't want his city to be filled with these gangster-like mercenaries wandering around. This would do too much damage to the city's image. But since mercenaries are used to help defend, these are inevitable. Look.
Come on...he still needs to build his own armed force!
While he was thinking about it, a group of mercenaries, led by a red-faced man, walked over from the opposite side. Judging from the badge on the chest of the red-faced man, this should be the leader of a mercenary group!
Sure enough, after successfully intercepting Suojia, the other party revealed his identity. The red-faced man and the man behind him turned out to be mercenaries hired by Suojia to protect Suojia City.
Head of the group.
Without giving Suojia a chance to speak, the other party directly said: "City Lord Suojia, your first phase of the mission has expired. As for the guardianship mission for the next month, I think... we can't take it unless you can
Double the funding, and then double the garrison strength, otherwise, we will not accept such a mission!"
He frowned slightly and looked at the united leader of the mercenary group opposite, Suojia.
