Chapter 34 The Powerful Xinfei Chamber of Commerce
The Sandy River flows eastward from the Rainfall Forest. When passing through the Principality of Mirando, it is renamed the Mirando River. However, it flows 700 kilometers eastward and passes through the not-so-large territory of the Principality of Mirando. After that, he entered another principality—the Principality of Norton. ⊙Apex⊙point⊙novel⊙say,
Since this river has only traveled less than 50 kilometers in the Norton Principality, it will flow into a clear and wide lake, so it was not renamed the Norton River by the Norton people, but still maintained the Mirando River. name.
It's just that after being injected into the lake named Mingjing Lake by the locals, and then drawn out from the lake, extending to the northeast a wider river that is more than twice as wide, it completely changed its appearance and became Norton. The largest and most important river in the Principality - the Amphier River.
According to legend, more than 3,000 years ago, Anfeier, the most famous female warrior among human beings, took a bath in Mingjing Lake, but she ran into a strong elf. The two fought fiercely on Mingjing Lake, and finally opened Mingjing Lake. A huge gap was opened, and the lake poured out, forming a river.
So later generations named the river Anfeier River.
At the junction where the Amphir River flows out from Mirror Lake, not far from the lake, there is a small town called Noxus Town.
Due to its proximity to Mirror Lake, it is also not far from the borders of the Duchy of Mirando and the Kingdom of Rulson, and it is backed by the Mirror and the Amphire River, and the most important road in the Principality of Norton passes through the town. , so the scale of Noxus Town is much larger than other small towns in the Principality of Norton, and it is not even worse than some cities.
And no matter if you start from the Principality of Mirando or the Kingdom of Rulson, if you want to go to the Candela Empire. All must pass through here. So Noxus town is very lively all year round.
Thanks to these passing travelers. The life of the people in the town is also much better than other parts of the Norton Principality. When facing compatriots from other places in the Principality, or even people from the Principality of Mirando and the Kingdom of Rulson, they feel more or less worried. All seem superior.
However, in the past two months, the sense of superiority in the hearts of the townspeople in Noxus has disappeared.
The reason is simply that before them there appeared a group of people who obviously had a much better life than they did.
It would be fine if these people were wealthy aristocratic merchants, but these people are obviously ordinary people. Compared with their status, there is no dignity at all.
Among these people, Papa Marvol in the elite tavern at the entrance of Noxus Town is one of them.
Seeing three young and strong men covered in dust, whose bodies and faces were so dirty that they could hardly see their true colors, they walked into the tavern together. Father Marvol didn't drive these three beggar-like guys out at all. Thoughts, instead he piled up an eager smile and greeted the three of them.
"Hey, are you off work?"
The three strong men glanced at the tavern, and chose an empty table to sit down. One of them patted the table and shouted loudly: "Father Marwall, as usual, serve two catties of wine first."
"Okay. Come right away."
Papa Marwal responded, and swiftly filled two catties of the best wine in the store, and then held two plates of cooked beef, and broke it with a smile.
After putting away the food and drinks, Marwall's father asked casually: "What? Don't you have to go to work in the afternoon? Come to drink at noon?"
The three strong men laughed together, and the strong man who spoke just now waved his hand: "It is said that there will be some big man's convoy passing the road today, and the supervisor said that the road construction will be suspended, and we will make way for the big man first, and wait for the big man to pass by." , and start working again tomorrow.”
"That's it..." Papa Marwall nodded, a little curious. "I don't know who this big shot is, but just to let him pass, you have shut down the Amley Chamber of Commerce. It's a big face."
"I heard that he is a big shot from the Candela Empire. He came from the Luerxun Kingdom and plans to go back to the Candela Empire. As for who it is, I don't know."
"From the Candela Empire? That's really a big shot, no wonder..."
Papa Marwall muttered and turned back to the counter.
Just after tidying up, several black shadows flashed past the door, and several strong men with the same dirty bodies rushed in.
Seeing these burly men with the same clothes as the three burly men coming in, Papa Marvol immediately stepped forward with a smile and greeted them.
The workers of the Amley Chamber of Commerce were generous, and they never made troubles because they were drunk. They could be said to be the most welcome guests of all the taverns and restaurants in the town.
Although they always looked a little dusty due to road construction, as long as the gold coins they took out were genuine, it would not prevent Papa Marvol from sending them the most sincere and warm smiles.
But in his spare time, Papa Marwall would always mutter to himself.
The Amrit Chamber of Commerce doesn't know what it is, why does it give such good treatment to the workers under its name?
Father Marwall once took time to observe the road construction site, and found that most of the work these workers did was simple physical work, except for the work he did not understand, and occasionally operated some equipment that he did not know what to do. Outside of the weird machine, it doesn't seem to be difficult.
Moreover, the working hours of these workers are very fixed, from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon every day, from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, and there is a fixed day off every week.
Such a job, in the eyes of Marwall's father, is already extremely easy.
However, the Amrit Chamber of Commerce offered these workers surprising salaries.
From figures no doubt confided by a drunken worker, the lowest handyman on this road-building site of the Amley Chamber of Commerce earned more than fifteen ducats a month.
And a little more advanced skilled workers who need to operate those large-scale engineering magic machinery can even earn an astonishing income of more than 20, or even close to 30 gold coins every month.
You know, Papa Marvol has been running this tavern in the small town of Noxus for many years, getting up early and working late every day. Almost never rests. The income ranges from 300 to 400 gold coins throughout the year.
And these workers do such an easy job. The annual income is not much less than him.
As for the townspeople in ordinary Noxus towns, they are several times stronger.
Therefore, in the more than a month since the Amly Chamber of Commerce built the road outside the town of Noxus, many young people in the town have moved their minds and wanted to join the Amly Chamber of Commerce.
It's a pity that the Amrit Chamber of Commerce came all the way from the kingdom of Lampali, thousands of kilometers away. According to the regulations, it is not allowed to recruit the people of the Principality of Norton as workers at will, so everyone's job application was rejected.
However, it is said that the mayor is currently actively applying to the principality's high-level officials to approve the Amley Chamber of Commerce to recruit workers locally in the Norton Principality.
And it is said that the road built by the Amrit Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Norton will run through the entire Principality, and eventually even go deep into the Candela Empire. The entire project period lasts for one and a half years, which means that they will stay in the Principality of Norton for one and a half years, so it is very likely that an agreement will be reached between the Principality and the Amley Chamber of Commerce to allow it to recruit local workers.
Thinking of this, Papa Marwall's heart moved, he came to the table of the three strong men before, sat down on the empty chair, and smiled at the three of them: "Well... I want to ask you about something. "
The three of them often come to this tavern to drink, and they are very familiar with Papa Marwall, so they nodded upon hearing this.
"Say. What's the matter?"
Papa Marwall thought for a while, and carefully considered his words. Asked: "These jobs you do...do you have any requirements?"
"Request?" The three looked at each other and shrugged. "There is no requirement, as long as you have strength and physical strength. Of course, different types of work are different. The three of us are different. I am mainly responsible for mixing concrete. It is enough to grasp the proportion of materials and operate the magic concrete mixer. The two of them They are all responsible for paving the road, so they must be able to operate the magic vibrating machine and smooth the road, which requires a little experience and technology."
"Oh...then what can a newcomer do if he enters your chamber of commerce?" Papa Marvol asked again.
The man glanced at Papa Marwall, and said with a smile: "What? Papa Marvol, do you have any relatives who want to work here?"
Marwall's father chuckled: "My nephew from afar is interested, do you think it's okay?"
The three of them shook their heads in unison: "We don't care about this, we have to ask the supervisor. However, I heard from the supervisor that the chamber of commerce has not yet reached an agreement with your Norton Principality. If you want to recruit local workers, you may have to wait for a while It's time."
"That's it..."
Father Marwal lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned to the counter and cut a plate of cooked beef again, brought it over and put it on the three-person table, and said with a smile: "Then if there is any news, I would like to ask the three of you to keep an eye on it for me. Notify me in time, so I can tell my nephew."
The three of them looked at the cooked beef on the table, which was obviously much more abundant than the normal plate, and laughed.
"Don't worry, we will tell you as soon as we have news."
One of them paused for a moment, but suddenly thought of something, and said, "Father Marwall, you can actually tell your nephew, don't be in such a hurry, and don't have to come to our Amley Chamber of Commerce. Our construction site Although he earns a lot of money online, the work is dirty and tiring, and it is not a particularly good job, so he may not be used to it."
"That's much better than him being idle at home all day, or farming." Father Marwall laughed. "Young people, what are you afraid of being dirty and tired?"
"That's a good thing to say. But when I left the Kingdom of Lampari, I heard people say that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce seems to be coming to your Norton Principality to invest soon. Your Noxus town is in this position, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce I will definitely not let it go. When the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce comes, you will not have to worry about work."
"Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?" Father Marwall frowned and thought about it. "I really want to hear the name of this Chamber of Commerce mentioned by many people. What? Is this Xinfei Chamber of Commerce very powerful? Why does he invest in us, so that our people don't have to worry about work?"
"Amazing? Haha, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is more than just amazing!" The man looked smug, as if he was bragging about himself. "I tell you, as long as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing to invest in one or two factories in your town, I can guarantee that your whole town will be completely transformed. Knowing that the Duchy of Mirando is the closest to our Kingdom of Lampari, Amplis Is it the small town of Ampliton? It is because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce went there to invest, and now this small town is about to become the city of Ampliton!"
"Really?" Papa Marwall was dubious.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is nothing more than a chamber of commerce, how could it be so powerful? (To be continued..)
