Eight Hundred and Thirty-Four, as Much as You Can Get

"You really voluntarily gave up your pension insurance?" The tax official looked at the burly orcs again and asked.

"We can't work in Alan Hill all the time, so we voluntarily gave up our pension insurance..." Famarus nodded, admitting his choice.

They are orcs, the bravest fighters of the Beast Emperor, so they don't need to lie, their integrity is their greatest glory.

"Then I don't have any doubts." Tax officer Louis nodded, then sat in his seat and supervised the payment of wages on site.

Two 50 gold coin denominations were placed in the palm of an orc's thick and thick hand, which looked a bit thin.

One hundred gold coins a month seems to be quite a lot, but you must know that mining is very dangerous. The minimum wage standard for mining workers in the Alan Hill Empire is 100 gold coins per month.

In more remote areas, there may be illegal mines employing workers lower than this wage standard, but that is illegal and cannot appear in regular mines.

Nowadays, in the Higgs area, the salary standard of many mines has reached the terrifying level of 700 gold a month, and that is the real high salary.

"Take your salary! Boy! There is everything you want in the nearby cities! Everything has its own price, doesn't it?" Stuffing two 100 gold coin notes into the palm of Famarus, The human noble said with a smile.

This strong orc is the leader of these orcs, and he works really hard, so he deserves more gold coins, which is his well-deserved reward.

The cocoon on the palm of Famarus's hand, which was worn out from holding the long sword all year round, looked so ugly, but the gold coin printed with the profile of the emperor of the Alan Hill Empire and the eagle emblem blocked everything.

Red banknotes look much better than red blood, and even sometimes, the gold coins are covered with blood-red liquid.

"Why do you give me twice the salary?" Famarus asked in a simple and honest voice, holding the banknotes in his palm tightly.

"This is what you deserve." The noble businessman said casually. This is the last salary he will pay today. The orcs here can get 200 gold coins at most, and at least 100 gold coins. Everyone will be very happy. happy.

In this month alone, the mine has to pay the miners more than 300,000 gold coins, which is hundreds of thousands of times compared to the annual tax of 1,000 gold coins in Seris.

That year, Serris City could hardly afford to pay the "annual fee",

In Ireland today, whether to issue banknotes with a denomination of 1,000 gold coins has been put on the agenda for discussion.

Famarus walked out of the room with the money in his hand, seeing those orcs with the same smiles on their faces, he felt that the weather was not so cold anymore.

He felt the sun shining on his back, and a warmth flowed through his whole body. He felt that standing in the sun, his whole body was full of strength.

This is a power called respect, not because he is strong or fierce, but because he has paid his own labor, he should be rewarded with sufficient materials.

It’s just that he didn’t know that, in fact, he was still tricked a little bit. If he had persisted, he would have been able to make his clansmen and himself pay more.

In Alan Hill now, manpower is needed everywhere, and there are jobs waiting for people to work everywhere.

...

On the flagship of the Sky Fleet flying the royal flag of the Alan Hill Empire, a staff officer is reporting the information he has just gathered to His Majesty the Emperor himself: "According to the intelligence personnel and the satellite's reconnaissance report...the troops of the Eternal Empire are being frequently mobilized .”

"The opponent's three best-equipped divisions are gathering towards the capital, and the magicians are also gathering urgently." He said as he outlined the opponent's route on the electronic map.

"Obviously, they are preparing for war, and the target is us." Grand Duke Su Molai of Ironforge snorted and said in a low voice.

He didn't think it was a big deal. If war breaks out, he can once again show the strength of the dwarves, and his loyalty to Elanhill.

"Although they are gathering troops, they are doing it with a degree. They are trying their best to avoid our misjudgment, and they are very sophisticated." A staff officer glanced at Su Molai and continued to say to Chris.

"Yes, their troops are retreating and retreating. Rather than gathering troops for a decisive battle, they are retreating to avoid a battle." Another staff officer nodded and introduced their speculation.

According to the deduction of the General Staff, the Eternal Empire does not really want to go to war now. Therefore, during the introduction, the staff officer said very firmly: "They are trying to send us a message: we are defending ourselves, not really going to war."

"On the one hand, he proposed to negotiate with us, and on the other hand, he is actively gathering troops to put pressure on us... You are a veteran of politics." Seeing that Chris was interested, he added two sentences: "Probably not from the Eternal Empire." The emperor is dispatching troops, and they want us to know that if we go to war rashly, we may have to pay a certain price to win the war."

"What price do I have to pay for a battle of 100,000 people?" Chris asked a very practical question with a smile.

"Pfft...haha." A staff officer couldn't hold back, and almost spat out the hot tea he just drank. He wiped his mouth before continuing to laugh.

For the military headquarters of the Alan Hill Empire, the price to be paid for a battle of 100,000 or 200,000 people is really so small that it can be ignored.

Even with the Sky Fleet hovering in the sky of the Eternal Empire, the staff of the Alan Hill Empire are confident of winning the war against the Eternal Empire.

In their view, as long as their cannons fired at Calamix for an hour, the opponent would raise the white flag and surrender.

"However, it's good to talk to them, so that we may save a lot of effort." Chris weighed it, glanced at Andrea and said: "I won't go in person, Grand Duke Andrea, you On my behalf, lead the visiting group of Alan Hill to see what the friends of the Eternal Empire have planned."

Chris is not a fool, he will not give the opponent a chance to jump over the wall. If you often do dangerous things, you are either crazy or a fool.

"Negotiation?" Andrea glanced at Chris, then nodded and asked, "I'm fine... What is the bottom line of the empire?"

"As much as you can take!" Chris replied directly without thinking about it——

There is another update, you can watch it tomorrow morning.
