Did you really voluntarily give up your pension insurance? The tax collector looked at the burly orcs again and asked.

"We couldn't work in Iran Hill all the time, so we voluntarily gave up our pension ......," Famalus nodded, admitting his choice.

They are orcs, the bravest warriors 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 Commissioner Louis nodded, then sat in his place, overseeing the payment of wages on the spot.

The two 50 gold bills were placed in the palm of an orc's thick hand, which looked a little small.

One hundred gold coins a month seems to be a lot, but you must know that mining this kind of work is very dangerous, and the Irlanhill Empire stipulates that the minimum wage for mine workers is 100 gold coins per month.

In more remote areas, there may be illegal pits employing workers below this rate, but that is illegal and unlikely to be found in regular mines.

Nowadays, in the Higgs region, the wage standard of many mines has reached the terrifying level of 700 gold a month, which is the real high salary.

"Take your salary! Lad! The nearby city has everything you could want! Everything has its own price, doesn't it? Shoving two 100 gold bills into the palm of Famarus' hand, the human nobleman said with a smile.

This strong orc is the leader of these orcs, and he does work very hard, so he deserves more gold, which is the reward he deserves.

The cocoon in the palm of Famarus's hand looked so ugly because of the long sword he had held for many years, but the gold coin with the side face of the Emperor of the Irlanhill Empire and the eagle emblem blocked everything.

Red banknotes are much more beautiful than red blood, and even sometimes gold coins are covered in blood-red liquid.

"Why are you giving me twice my salary?" Farmarus clenched the note in his palm and asked in a deep voice.

"You deserve it." The aristocratic merchant said very casually, this is the last salary he will pay today, and the orcs here have received a maximum of 200 gold coins, and a minimum of 100 gold coins, and everyone will be very happy.

In just this month, the mine had to pay more than 300,000 gold coins for the miners, which is hundreds or thousands of times more than the 1,000 gold coins per year in Seris.

That year, Seris City almost couldn't pay the "annual fee", and now in Iran Hill, whether to issue a 1,000 gold banknote has been put on the agenda for discussion.

Famalus walked out of the room with the money in his hand, and when he saw the orcs with the same smiles on their faces, he felt that the weather was not so cold.

He felt the sun on his back, and a warmth flowed through his body. He felt that he was standing in the sun, and his whole person was more powerful.

It is a force called respect, not because he is strong or because he is fierce, but because he deserves to be rewarded with sufficient material for his labor.

It's just that he didn't know, in fact, he was still a little pitted, if he insisted on it at that time, he could have made his own people and his own salary more.

Now Iran Hill, but everywhere needs manpower, and there are jobs and people waiting for people to take up their posts.

……

On the flagship of the Sky Fleet flying the royal flag of the Irlanhill Empire, a staff officer is reporting to His Majesty the Emperor himself the information he has just gathered: "According to the spy personnel and the satellite reconnaissance report...... The forces of the Eternal Empire are moving frequently. ”

"The three best-equipped divisions of the other side are assembling towards the capital, and the magicians are also urgently assembling." He said as he sketched the other party's route on the electronic map.

"Obviously, they're preparing for the fight, and we're the target." Ironforge Grand Duke Sumolai snorted and said angrily.

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

"Although they are gathering troops, they are doing it very moderately. They tried to avoid our miscalculations and were very sophisticated. One of the staff officers glanced at Sumolai and continued to Chris.

"Yes, their armies are retreating, not so much to gather forces for a decisive battle, but to retreat and avoid battle." The other staff officer nodded, explaining their speculation.

According to the staff's reasoning, the Eternal Empire doesn't really want to go to war right now. Therefore, when this staff officer introduced, he said very firmly: "They are trying to send a message to us: we are defending ourselves, not really going to war." ”

"On the one hand, they have offered to negotiate with us, and on the other hand, they are actively assembling troops to put pressure on us...... A veteran of politics. Seeing Chris's interest, he added two more sentences: "It is likely that it is not the emperor of the Eternal Empire who is sending troops, they want us to know that if we rush to war, we may have to pay a certain price to win the war." ”

"What kind of price do I need to pay for a 100,000-person level battle?" Chris smiled and asked a very practical question.

"Poof...... Ha ha. A staff officer couldn't hold back, and almost spit out the hot tea he had just drunk, and he wiped his mouth before continuing to laugh.

For the military department of the Irlanhill Empire, the price to be paid for a battle of 100,000 or 200,000 people is really negligible.

Even with the Sky Fleet hovering in the skies of the Eternal Empire, the staff officers of the Elanhill Empire were confident of winning this war against the Eternal Empire.

In their opinion, as long as their cannons opened fire on Karan Meeks for an hour, the other side would hoist a white flag and surrender.

"It's good to talk to them, though, so we might save a lot of effort." Chris weighed it, glanced at Andrea and said, "I won't go in person, Grand Duke Andrea, on my behalf, you will lead the delegation of Iran Hill to see what the friends of the Eternal Empire have planned." ”

Chris is not a fool, so he won't give the other party a chance to jump off the wall. If you do dangerous things often, you are either crazy or stupid.

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

"Take as much as you want!" Chris didn't even think about it, and replied directly.

There is also a watch, you can watch it tomorrow morning.
