The wind outside is biting, but inside the foundry is still hot.

Because of the season and temperature, the workers in the foundry used to wear a set of overalls to resist the damage of the fire element when they worked, but now, although they still can't take off the overalls inside, the outer coat that isolates the heat can be taken off.

Uncharacteristically, the magic machinery in the foundry was not working, and the workers were sitting at their posts and talking.

Not because of the shortage of raw materials, not because of the crowd protesting, but because the 'manager' of the foundry has something to announce.

Although there has been gossip, it is still a question whether the gossip can be trusted, and in the sad wind collar, the gossip is basically not very accurate, because a lot of news will always be unexpected.

For example, when the lord came a year ago, they thought that the Sorrowful Wind Leader was not saved, but they didn't expect it to be better than when the old duke was in power, although they missed the old duke very much, but for the current lord, they also liked it tightly.

Now that the Sad Wind Leader is not only independent, it will build a country after the end of the kingdom's war, but everyone's life is better, and they have money in their pockets, so they naturally have confidence.

The 'Lady of Fortune' also came to an agreement with the maid that Wende City would become her new holy city...... Wait, wait, aren't there enough of these unexpected messages? Why hasn't there been a single gossip about this before?

In fact, not only the foundry, but also other factories had stopped their work at this time, waiting for the factory manager to announce the matter.

The factory manager had already told them about it before they got off work last night, and told them not to start work after work tomorrow morning, because they had something to announce.

Most of the people who work in the factory area are locals in Wende City, and everyone can usually get together to chat, and then last night someone suddenly mentioned this matter, and the others responded one after another, saying that they said the same thing in the factory.

That led to this morning's situation.

It involves all factories, maybe not all factories say one thing, but they always feel that this is one thing, and it will be a big deal!

With this expectation in mind, they got up early and took a public carriage to the factory, and after changing into their work clothes in the locker room, they returned to their posts and waited for the factory manager to appear.

"Huh, so early?"

The factory manager was a little surprised when he pushed the door in, and he found that many people were sitting in their chairs in a proper manner, and there was no other movement except to chat with each other.

With the information in one hand and the amplified speaker with the constant [Phonological Illusion] in the other, the factory manager stood in front of everyone.

"Ahem, audition, audition!"

After confirming that the energy of the elemental pool was properly supplied to the loudspeaker, the factory manager held the megaphone and said, "All back to their places, next I have something to announce!"

The sound of 'Si Si Soso' sounded, and after a while, the factory manager looked again, saw that everyone was seated back in their seats, and nodded.

The factory manager glanced down at the information, "Uh, the next thing I'm going to talk about is related to your salary......

This material was sent a few days ago, and even though the manager had read it many times, he still felt a little ...... Weird.

It's as if the whole world is about to change!

It's not that he feels strange, but because the maid master wants to do something, there has never been a thing that can't be done, and he believes that this time it will be the same, but this time it is really ...... It's so weird!

Contrary to what had been expected, his words did not cause much of a sensation among the workers, and although the workers did whisper among themselves, the situation was not as noisy as he had imagined.

After a pause, the factory manager pursed his lips and continued: "This is what the maid chief asked me to announce, and from next month, your monthly salary will be paid in 'gold and silver coins'—"

As he spoke, he glanced at the workers again, and found that only a few people were exclaiming, but still no one questioned.

"Instead, switch to a new type of currency - 'paper money', the 'paper money' named 'Tia' is a new type of currency that the Church of Fortune is about to issue, no longer the hard currency of 'gold and silver', it looks like 'a piece of paper', but with the mark unique to the Lady of Fortune, which can be used to buy all kinds of things......"

When the factory manager announced this event, which can be said to be a 'big deal', the workers did not react violently, because the factory manager said at the beginning, 'This is what the maid master asked him to announce', that is, this is the will of the maid master!

Although they don't really believe that 'a piece of paper' can be used to buy things, they haven't read a book, and the manager's explanations are dry, they don't understand well...... But!

That's what the maid said!

“...... Gold, silver, copper and other coins will not be canceled for the time being, you can use the above three types of 'coins' to exchange for paper money, you can also use paper money to exchange for 'coinage', but you need a sufficient reason, because the maid wants to use paper money instead of coinage in the Principality of Sorrow, so paper money will prevail in the future, and coinage will be gradually abolished......"

“...... A 'Tia' with a face value of 'ten' is temporarily equal to one copper coin, which means that in the future, when you buy some items worth less than one copper coin, you no longer need to use the cumbersome way of bartering, and you only need to spend 'Tia' to trade......"

“...... The Church of Fortune will not only issue paper money in the Principality of Sorrow, but also issue paper money throughout the continent, and the issuance of this currency will change the business form of the continent, and people's transactions will become more convenient, and 'Tia' can be used to trade everywhere in the mainland in the future......"

The factory manager read out the information as if it were a speech, and the workers did not understand much of what he said, but they finally understood that the maid was very kind to them, not only informed them of the matter in advance, but also asked the manager to explain to them the meaning, although they did not understand much.

After reading the materials dryly, more than an hour had passed, and the workers were already drowsy.

After reading it, the manager himself breathed a sigh of relief, and he himself felt a little uncomfortable when he read it like this.

"Well, one last thing!" added the manager, "and after that is said and done, you will be able to enjoy three and a half days of vacation from this afternoon until the day after tomorrow, and you will not need to return to work until three days later." ”

When it comes to 'holidays', all the workers are excited.

What does 'holiday' mean to them?

It means 'no money to make' for them!

And who were they before?

Most of the people who were able to work in the foundry were 'blacksmith apprentices' or people who did not have a regular job at all.

The real blacksmiths would not go into the factories to work, because they thought it was an insult to their craft, and the foundry workers were running around and working all day, and they might not be able to earn five silver coins a month, and minus the money used to buy food, they might not be able to save a few copper coins a month.

Although he can't starve to death, he can't make any money, this is the current situation of the whole Sloe Mendes!

Later, the old duke died of illness, and the lord and the maid came, and their lives gradually became richer, but the hardships they had endured made it difficult for them to accept the possibility of not making money for the next two days.

But before they could say anything, the manager was the first to shout: "Don't worry, stop and listen to me - the reason why you have to take three days off is because the machinery in the factory needs regular maintenance and inspection!

"Before we produced the hoarded goods about to be put on the market, before putting them into the market, it also takes time to count and count the goods, and the reason for stopping production is because it is enough at the moment, and before the statistical results come out, we only produce to make trouble for our brothers in other units, so we need to take a holiday. ”

Speaking of excitement, the manager waved his other hand, "What's more, the goods are about to be put on the market, which means that you can get a commission, although it is not much, but it is enough to make your next month's salary more than half!

"Long live the maid!"

The workers didn't figure out what was going on, they just cheered subconsciously.

After a while, they reacted, and then the real cheers erupted, and intensified—

"Long live the maid!"

"Long live the maid!"

"Long live the maid !!"
