Chapter 94 Workers' Riot

The motorcycle racer didn't speak, but his eyes showed obvious dissatisfaction.

The young motorcycle racers and their relatives next to him also showed some obvious disapproval on their faces, obviously thinking that Xu Yi's problem was a bit of a big deal.

Even the young couple mentioned by Xu Yi who were almost killed by the collision looked stunned, as if he didn't expect Xu Yi to be so angry because of them.

Xu Yi sighed inwardly.

Although the Sainz continent has undergone tremendous changes due to his arrival, it has now developed a powerful and complete magic industry. In terms of the level of living technology alone, it has even caught up with the earth's level in many aspects.

But because of this, only the matter has changed, and people's spiritual concepts have not changed much.

In the various countries on the Continent of Sainz, although slaves have been completely abandoned, there are still extremely serious concepts of dignity and inferiority.

Nobles are nobles, and commoners are commoners.

In the minds of almost everyone, nobles are much more noble than commoners, and their status is completely different.

These young men and women are obviously just a pair of ordinary commoner children, but the biker who almost killed them is a traditional aristocratic family in the city of Bangta. Now the father standing next to him has the title of Viscount, and even himself Also because he was positioned as the heir of the family early, he has a baron title.

Therefore, in the minds of everyone here except Xu Yi, the identities of the two parties are very different. Even if ordinary men and women are really killed, it is not a big deal in their minds.

If Xu Yi hadn't happened to meet them, I'm afraid they wouldn't even need to pay.

What makes Xu Yi feel even more sad is that the young common people probably think so in their hearts.

"President Xu, he is also unintentional, he certainly doesn't want to bump into people, right?" Earl Vigian hurriedly eased the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you, President Xu, have appeared and saved their lives. , so... don't be too harsh, right?"

"Hard to blame?" Xu Yi snorted coldly, and gave the biker a cold look. Turning to Vig Amber, he said, "I'm not an official of your Lampari Kingdom, and I don't even belong to the Lampari Kingdom at all, so what you decide to do with this matter is your business, and it has nothing to do with me. I can't control it either." But in this matter, I can control the place related to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

Earl Vigian hurriedly continued: "President Xu please make it clear."

Xu Yi pointed at the unconvinced motorcyclist, and suddenly asked, "Do you have a driver's license?"

Everyone was taken aback, and they all looked at the biker.

The face of the motorcycle racer changed slightly. He hesitated and refused to answer.

The parents standing beside him suddenly panicked.

"President Xu is asking you something, answer quickly!"

The biker hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth, and just said "I", but was interrupted coldly by Xu Yi.

"Don't try to lie. Anyone who has officially taken a driver's license has a record, and I can look it up at any time."

The expression of the motorcycle racer changed drastically this time, and it took a while before he lowered his head slumped.

"I don't……"

Everyone around was shocked.

"Very well, then you are driving without a license. And because you drive at a super high speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour on the city streets at night, you have already violated many regulations related to your driver's license. According to the regulations, I can now It is judged that you will not be eligible to apply for a driver's license in the future, let alone continue to drive a magic motorcycle, do you have any objections?"

Unlike the expressions of several motorcycle racers, who were like mourning and examination approval, a group of relatives breathed a sigh of relief.

If Xu Yi's punishment was just that, it would be too slight.

If you don't have a driver's license, you don't have it. Who said that you can't continue to drive without a driver's license?

As long as they are not unlucky enough to be caught by Xu Yi again, then with the status of their families, driving without a license in Bangta City is not a big deal at all.

Xu Yi couldn't see what was going on in these guys' minds, so he snorted coldly. Pointing to the young couple again, he said: "Besides, you almost killed them just now. Although they were safe because of my appearance, necessary compensation is still needed."

The parents of the racer didn't understand Xu Yi's meaning. He quickly moved to the side of the young couple with an enthusiastic look.

The young couple never thought that a viscount would be so submissive to a commoner like him, and they were at a loss for a while. In the end, Xu Yi signaled Earl Vigan to come forward and proposed a compensation amount of 3,000 gold coins.

Three thousand gold coins is a lot for this young commoner couple, but for an aristocratic family who can afford the latest magic sports car. Of course it's nothing.

So when the two sides reached an agreement and finally got Xu Yi's approval, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The appearance of Xu Yi made everyone think that this matter would be a big mess, but they didn't expect that the problem was solved with only three thousand gold coins in the end, which was really beyond their expectations.

It's just that when they were about to say goodbye with gratitude, Xu Yi suddenly issued a warning.

"Don't try to get revenge in private, I'll have someone follow up on this. If something happens to them afterwards, don't blame me for being rude."

Xu Yi's cold words surprised everyone. The parents of the biker quickly assured Xu Yi that they would never trouble the young couple in private, so Xu Yi let it go. they go.

After everyone left, calm returned to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Count Vigian looked at Xu Yi, who took a sip of tea and closed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

Although he didn't have many chances to get in close contact with and cooperate with Xu Yi like the previous leaders of Bangta City, but according to all kinds of information, Xu Yike has never been a particularly easy-to-talk person.

You know, even if the Candela Empire offended him, they paid a heavy price for it.

But now these ignorant boys directly ran into him, and even two boys yelled at him, but he only gave such a mild punishment in the end, which is really puzzling.

"Earl Vigan." Xu Yi said suddenly.

Earl Vigan was taken aback, quickly calmed down, and said with a smile, "President Xu, do you have any orders?"

"I heard that two worker riots broke out in Bangta City last month?" Xu Yi asked.

Earl Vigan was shocked and thought about it. He nodded and replied, "Yes. President Xu, where did you get the news from?"

"What is the reason for the riot?" Xu Yi asked rhetorically without answering.

"This... means that the workers were dissatisfied with their wages, so they chose a collective strike, and then clashed with the factory. It would be too much to call it a riot."

"Then how did you deal with it in the end?"

Earl Vigan frowned slightly. I don't understand why Xu Yi suddenly asked these questions.

But he knew very well that since Xu Yi asked about these things, he must have known a lot about him, and it was meaningless to conceal things, so he replied: "Our city lord's mansion only gave some workers who took the lead in making troubles to us." Grab it. Nothing else to do."

"Really? But how did I hear that the leading workers died in prison?" Xu Yi's tone suddenly became cold.

Earl Vigan was shocked, how did Xu Yi even know this?

"This...the leaders of the workers had internal strife in the prison, and they fought each other to death..."

At this time, Earl Vigan could only say the answer he had thrown to the newspaper before.

"Really? You reported it to Queen Seweigny in the same way?" Xu Yi asked again.

"That's how it was reported."

"How did the Queen respond?"

"Your Majesty hopes that I can maintain the order in Bangta City, and I don't want to see similar incidents happen again."

"That's right..." Xu Yi nodded and fell silent again.

Earl Vigan looked at Xu Yi anxiously, wondering why he suddenly asked these questions.

When facing Xu Yi, he was even more nervous than facing Her Majesty Queen Seweney.

Because he knows very well that Her Majesty still needs him to manage Bangta City, as long as he doesn't make any big mistakes. For the sake of his family, Her Majesty the Queen will not do anything to him.

But Xu Yi in front of him was different.

As long as Xu Yi is willing, he can order in one sentence to destroy most of the current magic industry in Bangta City through the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

And if the magic industry is destroyed, Bangta city is not much different from being destroyed, so naturally he, the city owner, can only be destroyed along with it.

Others may not do such a thankless thing, and it can even be said that it will hurt both sides, but Xu Yi has always been evaluated by many people as a lunatic. He has had countless crazy ideas and practices, and no one can be sure whether he will do it. this kind of thing.

After a while. Xu Yi then spoke again.

"Earl Vigan, just now you said that the workers are not satisfied with their wages, so they choose to strike collectively, then I would like to ask. How low is the general wages in Banta City now, so that the workers choose to strike Or even a direct conflict with the factory?"

Earl Vigian immediately said seriously: "According to the instructions of Her Majesty the Queen, and according to the regulations of the Kingdom Council, Banta City made a minimum wage regulation last year based on the actual situation, regardless of the type of work. The monthly minimum wage must not be low. Eight gold coins. I don't think... any chamber of commerce in Bangta City will violate this rule."

"Oh?" There was a hint of sarcasm in the smile on Xu Yi's face.

Eight gold coins per month is not considered a high income for Bangta City, where prices have been soaring and living standards have been improving these years, but it can indeed maintain an ordinary family's daily life.

If the workers in Bangta City can get such wages, it is simply incomprehensible to choose to go on strike, or even directly conflict with the factory.

But Xu Yi knew very well that there was no fundamental difference between the capitalists on the Sainz continent and those on the earth, and they were even more ruthless than those on the earth.

It is said that the minimum of eight gold coins per month is just a number on the surface.

In fact, according to the information obtained by Xu Yi, there are now many chambers of commerce and factories in Bangta City that will deduct various names. In the end, the actual wages that the workers get are even less than half of the agreed wages, which is far lower than the eight yuan. gold.

Moreover, the working hours of many chambers of commerce and factories have increased significantly, and the intensity has also increased, making many workers feel overwhelmed.

It was also under such circumstances that led to two successive worker riots in Bangta City.

As the lord of Banta City, it is impossible for Earl Vigian to be unaware of these situations, but he obviously has a deep connection with the nobles and big businessmen in Banta City, so naturally he will not reveal these things.

"Earl Vigan, I have a piece of advice for you." Xu Yi slowly got up while talking.

Earl Vigan stood up, feeling puzzled.

"President Xu, please clarify."

"Don't underestimate the power of the working class. Also, pass my words on to Her Majesty the Queen for me."

After leaving these words, Xu Yi left the City Lord's Mansion straight away, leaving Earl Vigan there in a daze. (~^~)
