Chapter 1,256 The First Bank Head
After showing a few pictures, Lin ordered: "Uzov, just use these drafts, and you can help find someone to perfect and estimate them. As long as the price is not too outrageous, just issue the contract and let people start the work. The building body and pillars, use I estimate that the cost of the reinforced concrete structure can be saved a lot. However, those sculptures may need to be customized. The cement molds are rough blanks at most, and they need to be constructed on site, so they may not be cheaper than professional stone carvers. "
Uzov patted his chest and said, "Sir, don't worry. As long as it's not a magic material, there's a limit to the price. As for sculptures, the guild has nothing but the most craftsmen. You don't have to worry about the cost. Everyone is happy with the guild's internal projects." I'm happy to do it. If we didn't have a minimum salary requirement, I'm afraid everyone would be willing to pay the price."
The projects contracted by the guild are all public constructions that everyone can see and use, which makes it the best stage for craftsmen to compete in their skills. If you do it too badly, you may be ridiculed for the rest of your life. More importantly, these projects have high ratings in the guild, making them very attractive to craftsmen who want to improve their own ratings. That's why Uzov said this.
In these days in Midi, there is no equation between public works and shoddy projects.
However, Mai Ershan, who had been watching the discussion between the two men and was not very able to intervene, asked someone after seeing the outcome of the discussion. Said: "Sir, if you come back to me this time, I won't be listening to the chat between you two."
"I came back to tell you that I hope you will be the first person in charge of this new bank."
Although the words were meant to be inquiring, in fact, for Mai Ershan, when a person of Lin's status spoke, it was equivalent to a decision. Unless there is a really good reason or an unexpected situation changes something. But the dark elf was still curious and asked: "Me? Why me? Sir."
"Just like building this first bank, I don't want too many people and too many opinions to interfere. Of course, I also want to choose someone who can be trusted and can control the situation. If this person can't do anything, If you understand my thoughts and mess around, even if you don't mess up the matter, just add some trouble to the bank's promotion, I may be beaten by the goddess of gold coins, and the twenty-five high-ranking officials including your majesty. Looking for trouble. So, you are the best choice."
Key points: trust and ability to hold the position.
Mai Erxi playfully rubbed one of the seven commandments on her hand, the cyan horse, and said with a half-smile: "Trust? Sir, do you really trust me? Although I claim to be a slave, I am considered a follower in the eyes of outsiders. But Compared to others, I'm still far behind. At least between ordinary magicians and their followers, communication is often used to confirm the master-slave relationship between the two parties. I have never experienced it once. How about we enhance the trust relationship tonight? ?”
Uzov, who was sitting next to him, shuddered just listening to it. The relationship between a magician and his followers is not only between people of the opposite sex, but sometimes even people of the same sex and race. When Merchant chose him as a follower to be present, mentioning this incident not only disgusted the magician, but also disgusted him.
Lin looked helpless in the face of the provocation. The wrestling between the world trees behind the elves made someone have to hold a bowl of water to himself without anyone touching it. The ancient Fasnas took advantage of the opportunity and caused trouble, which already made him feel the pressure. If something unexplainable happens, the consequences will be endless.
So someone can only avoid sensitive topics and say: "Isn't this giving you a seven-ring ring? This means that as long as you are in danger, I will definitely help. Isn't this kind of trust enough? And didn't I say, Among the conditions, there is also such a thing as "holding the place", and there are no talents around me who can do this."
"Well, your three apprentices?" Meyer asked tentatively.
"Stop it, you don't know the virtues of those three magic apprentices who haven't even grown hair yet. Don't talk about trying to control the situation. Don't be suppressed by a group of rough guys. I should be laughing. ”
Well, that seems to be true. Meyer asked again: "What about Freya?"
"Silver-bearded dwarves are pretty good at playing tricks. Just rely on their thorough knowledge to deal with people. Don't be betrayed and happily thank others."
So true. Meyer unconsciously turned his eyes to Uzov who was sitting beside him. It gave a certain human being a chill.
Seeing this, Lin smiled and said: "The burden on Uzov is already heavy enough. The technical guild will be lucky if it can be managed well. If I add another burden to him, wouldn't I be too inhumane?"
Uzov Gantia seemed to have good grades, but he was not worth mentioning in the eyes of Maier. This is taking the power of the technical guild into their hands. They don't know what they can do, and it will arouse the wariness of the magician, so the dark elves have not thought about this.
With the same idea, the magician is also surrounded by Ezio. Well, that's an age when you're still playing with bugs.
That crippled old black dragon can handle some weaklings just fine. In the eyes of a truly powerful person, it is just a pile of materials prefixed with 'Dragon Clan'. Not to mention that this old black dragon spent his daily life either sleeping or bragging about the past, killing a few knights on a given day and eating a few brave men on a given day. It's just that those naughty kids like Ezio liked to hear it and took it seriously.
Thinking of the last one, Melson couldn't help but mention that one person. "So, where is Lady Fen? Or is it her taciturn little follower?"
"They. Do you think if you let them come out to calm things down, there will be people left alive in the end?"
Alas, it is. Maier sighed heartily.
In this way, I am really the best choice to be with this magician. In fact, Melson had no intention of refusing from the beginning, she just teased the magician. Now that all options have been exhausted, the Dark Elf took the matter of course and said, "Since Sir feels that I am the most suitable candidate, and my Lord has also asked me to do my best to fulfill Sir's request, then I will accept this task." It's just that I'm alone, so I can't handle such a big stall. Do you want to continue borrowing people from the Technology Guild?" A pair of beautiful eyes glanced to the side.
Uzov could not count how many times he felt frightened. But when it came to the issue of borrowing people, the powerful president shook his head like a wavy drum and pleaded: "Sister, without you, it's enough for me to have a headache. You still have to take care of me from my side." If you poach people and leave, the guild won’t open the skylight tomorrow.”
Although the Technology Guild has Lin's support behind it, and many paperwork has been made into forms similar to those in the forum, making it easier to fill in, access, and record, many things still require people to contact and arrange them. As a unit has to cope with the volume of a large city, the Technical Guild has become a busier place than the Magician's Guild, the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary Guild.
Therefore, Uzov's plea was not without reason. Mai Ershu is considered a general, and it will be a headache without her. Nowadays, the affairs of the guild are quite complex, and it is not that easy to train a qualified clerk. If there were just one less group of people, and there would be no need for other families or organizations to plot against him, Uzov would want to hang himself.
However, Mai Ershu's request cannot be ignored, but in someone's plan, it is not difficult to solve it. Lin said directly: "Go to His Majesty Fasnas to ask for someone. See if you have anyone trustworthy in the tribe and bring them out. His Majesty the other World Trees can also communicate with them and ask them to send some people. Help. Even if you don’t need much in the early stage, you will still need it later.”
"Well, so many people are needed? Is there any arrangement?" The keen Maier asked, realizing that there should be a follow-up to the magician's arrangement.
Lin didn't show off and explained: "Didn't I say that we want to promote the bank to the whole country? But it is not necessarily possible that the local lords or families can understand our ideas, or think it is necessary to invest in some relatively remote small businesses." Place. These vacancies will be filled by the elves. First, it is easier for the elves to win the goodwill of humans; secondly, with His Majesty the World Tree as your backer, your safety is relatively guaranteed. So the first bank in the Holy City , and may also include training tasks. In addition to finding a reasonable work process as a model in practice. The elves who have completed the training will also be sent to various places to develop the bank's business. You can just keep a few experienced people around, and others Once they get started, let them go out and develop.”
"That's the plan." Mailhao had no doubt about World Tree's support for the magician in front of him.
It could be said that as long as it was a request he made, Melson didn't think there would be any hesitation among the majesties behind her. This level of trust would make even the elves who have served the World Tree jealous for generations.
They didn't get to the position just by flattering others, but they really helped Yggdrasil to get where they are today. And the help is beyond the power of the elves.
As for whether the elves are willing to cooperate, this is not a problem. For all the wood elf tribes under the care of the World Tree, what is the most precious thing for the elves? Answer: The opportunity to leave the tribe and travel outside. No matter what the cost of this opportunity, even the possibility of being captured as a slave by some humans with ill intentions, still made the elves sharpen their heads and dig in.
It's not that life in the tribe is scarce. The elves live a hot life, so everyone wants to escape from that environment. exactly the opposite.
The environment under the care of the World Tree is quite prosperous, coupled with a regular life bound by the precepts. It can be said that as long as the wood elf grows to the age where his talent is confirmed, except for the day of death that cannot be predicted, how he (or she) will spend his or her life has been clearly planned, and there will be no Accident.
But life always needs some excitement. Life outside the tribe is not only chaotic, disorderly, and unpredictable, but may also be life-threatening. Some wood elves will become addicted to this kind of life, while others will become more determined to stay in the tribe and live a prosperous and stable life. Regardless of the type, wood elves cherish and value the opportunity to travel outside.
Even though the living environment of the dark elf tribe is different from that of the ordinary wood elf tribe, under the competitive strategy of the ancient Fasnas that is very different from other world trees, there is definitely a lot of internal stimulation and life threats. But the dark elves also value the opportunity to travel, because for them, it is more like an opportunity to relax. Instead of worrying about whether your lover will cut off your head while sleeping.
