Chapter 238 Rumors
Chapter 238 Rumor
No matter how undercurrents the ruling class in the City of Holy Light has been surging, it has not changed the lives of those miners at the bottom.
Mines, bars, kennels!
These three places are the main places for miners to live, especially those who come to hunt for gold alone.
Bragging and fucking at bars, plus picking up girls is the only fun in their lives.
The only impact of the turmoil in the upper level of the City of Holy Light has on them is that they have added one more chat topic.
"I heard that after the Archbishop went, the nobles and men made a fuss. The fighting outside the city last night was not heard all night. I heard from my friend who had just returned from outside that the earth was soaked red!" A short man with a well-informed man said to his companion in a mysterious way.
"Oh, it's really a cold world. Not long after the Archbishop died, the nobles began to kill each other. If the Archbishop knew about it, he would have to be angry to death!" Another bearded man sighed with a sigh. In fact, there was no sadness on his face. He might have been gloating about the death of the golden robe priest.
The golden robe sacrifice was not a kind Lord. The taxes he stipulated were quite strict, which directly affected the income of miners. These lower-level personnel were not long-term people. They only care about things that were actually related to their interests.
"Hey, in the final analysis, it's not because of money. Dogs bite dogs, it's best to bite them all to death, but it's best!" A sloppy man joined the discussion with a glass of inferior tan beer, but his remarks were a little bit extreme, scaring everyone's gesture of silence.
"I want to die! Say this kind of thing, be careful of those black referees who visited privately to invite you to the cell for tea!"
"Drinking tea, I think I'm drinking chili water!"
"Poppy, you don't want to live anymore. We want to live two more years. If you say this again, don't blame us for reporting you to the referee!"
"Don't worry, how could those noble adults run into such dirty places and squeeze together with us little people?"
"That's true!"
"Even if this is the case, we can't say anything randomly. We want to live two more years!"
"Okay! OK! I'm wrong, I'm wrong! I'll take back my previous words!" The sloppy man could not resist the accusations of his companions and took back his previous words.
"Have you heard that? Those nobles will launch the parliament that had been dissolved many years ago in three days, and re-elect the new city lord of the Holy Light City through the parliament! You guys say, who is more likely to be elected?"
"Master of Heijin City! Legend has it that Heijin City is rich in oil. As long as the money is willing to be spent, those greedy nobles will not vote for him all the votes!"
"Is there any magic crystal city rich in Black Gold City? I heard that Magic Crystal City has just discovered a magic crystal mine with a richer storage capacity. The magic crystal produced is more high-quality than the current one. It is recruiting people to be developed! Any high-end product will be produced, and those mage masters will snatch the scalp. I'm afraid it's not much worse than Black Gold City! More importantly, the development prospect is longer."
"What you said is true, but don't forget that the Lord of Magic Crystal City does not seem to care about this, and I'm afraid I won't invest too much energy in this matter at that time."
"I think the Lord of Baiyin City is more promising..."
"I think the Lord of Casero City is better..."
"The Lord of Anran City is also good..."
"The Lord of Sophie City is also more promising..."
"Hey, everyone is simple. This is not a business. You can clearly mark the price. If this is the case, you don't need to hold a parliament!" The short man who first caused this topic curled his lips disdainfully and said with disapproval, "It seems that you have missed one?"
"who?"
"The initiator of this parliament, His Excellency Faren, the Bishop of the Red Robe!"
"Biography of the Red Robe? Feiren? That mouse Bishop Feiren? Haha..."
As soon as the name came out, it immediately attracted everyone's laughter. It was not that the reputation of the Red Robe Bishop was not very good. On the contrary, Feiron's name was quite famous in the City of Holy Light, but it was all negative. Who doesn't know about the sycoon?
"Don't believe it, I'm internal news. He is the last follower before the Archbishop's fall. The Bishop personally entrusted the Holy Light City to him to manage. Now most of the knights in the Holy Light Paladin have announced their allegiance to him."
"Hmph, no need to say these useless ones, who knows what conspiracies these nobles are playing? How did the Archbishop say these words? Who knows? Could it be that you still want to dig out the Archbishop and ask?"
Everyone was obviously interested in whether the sycophant Bishop was the heir of the famous saying of Holy Light City, and it was not as worthy of attention as the ale in his hand.
"Hmph, if it's all this, it's not a top secret news! It is said that Lord Feilun is preparing to work on the reform of the Holy Light City. As long as he becomes the lord of the Holy Light City, he will increase the original ore price by 10 percentage points."
"Increase the purchase price of raw ore by 10? Hiss... It's really a big deal, is it really fake?"
Hearing this, the miners took a breath. If the remarks above were just gossips of those in power, then this matter no longer has anything to do with them, because it is related to the purchase price of the original ore!
The Minerals of City of Holy Light are taken in a rather primitive way of taking.
The overall mineral deposit belongs to Shengguang City, and the miners are collective employees of Shengguang City. However, they adopt a piece-based production model. The raw ore taken from the mine cave is sold to Shengguang City at a certain price. It is strictly forbidden to bring the raw ore to privately sell it. Then the raw ore will be processed and purified and melted into qualified minerals for sale.
In other words, the more raw ore a miner collects in a day, the higher the purity, the higher the income, and vice versa, it is a very fair thing.
Of course, this model is limited to those own miners. As for the prisoners and slaves exiled from the main plane, all their income belongs to the City of Holy Light. It is already merciful to be able to give them a full meal!
But don’t expect the purchase price of the original ore to be high. Everything here belongs to those nobles. How much they want to earn if they absent from work depends entirely on their mood!
The increase in the purchase price of the raw ore by 10 means that the income they earn every day will increase by 10 directly. It is considered a considerable amount of money to be placed on the head of any miner.
"Brave, right? You can't hear it wrong! It's not growing, but decreasing!" Soon the short man's remarks were questioned loudly.
This is not surprising. They have only heard of the reduction in the purchase price of raw ore and have never heard of an increase.
"You heard it right, it was to increase, it was to increase 10. This was personally guaranteed by the Red-robed Bishop Fairun to our miners' union Chairman Alsa. One of my relatives was on duty at Lord Alsa's house and heard it with his own ears! And Lord Feiron's request was just that Lord the Chairman could vote for him in the parliament! Not only that, I also heard that Lord Feiron also promised that those slave miners would no longer have no profit and would also receive part of the reward, but they could only draw 10% from the purchase price of the original mine. Moreover, the slave miners worked in the City of Holy Light for twenty years, and as long as they performed well, they could spend a small amount of money to buy themselves freely and become our own miners like us. Lord Feiron said that the Lord of Light is kind, and all sins can be redeemed, and he will give those sinners a chance to come back on behalf of the Lord!"
"Mr. Feren!"
"We support Lord Feren's election!"
"It is worthy of being a respected red robe priest! No wonder Lord Faren was able to let the Archbishop look at him differently!"
"The revitalization of the Holy Light City is hoped!"
Because the voice of his speech increased unconsciously, the people in the entire bar were attracted. At this moment, it was a surging. This incident involved too many people's interests, almost covering everyone in the entire Holy Light City. Even if they were not miners themselves, 80% of them were absent from work.
Everyone had forgotten the previous ridicule and ridicule of the Red Rou Bishop, but instead felt that it was the Red Rou Bishop's own personality.
The feeling of attention made the short man particularly enjoy it. With the paralysis of alcohol, he spitted out his hearsays, "Mr. Feiron's grand plan is not just that. It is said that Master Feiron is also preparing to establish a miner's pension foundation. As long as he joins this foundation, the miners who die in the mine disaster will receive a considerable death penalty from the City of Holy Light. Even if his family is not in City of Holy Light, as long as you can fill out the place where your relatives are and the beneficiaries of the pension during your lifetime, the foundation will send a special person to the hands of your relatives and your inheritance to the hands of your relatives! And don't worry that the City of Holy Light will commit favoritism, because the foundation will be open to all miners at that time, and all miners will be the supervisors of the foundation."
boom!
The entire bar was almost overturned by huge sounds. If the previous plan was directly related to the miners' personal interests, then the next plan would be cross-age!
Miners are a high-risk industry. They work underground and may even trap themselves. Every year, thousands of people in the Holy Light City die in mine disasters, and many people cannot even find their bodies.
Even though we know this, there are still countless people who have been actively joining this industry. Why?
Is it just a trend of interest?
If you don’t even have a life, what’s the use of asking for more money?
Everything is just the word "family", but when many people die, it is not just themselves. The entire family they support will be doomed. In this backward world, there is no perfect guarantee system.
This miner's pension foundation is undoubtedly to solve the worries of those miners. It is unprecedented. Those greedy nobles want to squeeze out all the wealth in the miners' hands, so how can they be willing to take out the money in their pockets and stick them to the untouchables in their eyes?
