NFBE Chapter 1553 Dock Workers
Chapter 1553 Dock Workers
Spent a day in Sucre.
Lyon found that the city had completely changed and the people there were full of hope.
Compared with the past, people today are full of fighting spirit.
Many elves returned to Sucruz in order to receive better treatment.
The development of the Elf Empire is underway.
Whether it was Dayan or anyone else, the development of the Elf Empire had never stopped.
When the Queen was still alive, she had already started developing the forest.
The current development is somewhat different from the previous development.
Lyon is more focused on steady development.
The Queen's development was a bit hasty at first.
This resulted in many things not being handled cleanly.
A lot of resources are wasted.
After all, how can one succeed if one wants both speed and quality?
This is just a dream!
Later, Leon took over the Elf Empire and began to put it on the right track.
The Elf Empire began to embark on a development path that puts quality first.
It doesn't matter if it's slow, what's important is to leave something for future generations.
If you can't leave anything for future generations, then you're doomed.
But the elves are planning to sacrifice everything for development, which is simply outrageous.
Leon arrived at the port of Sucruz.
Because according to the reports of the accompanying personnel.
There are at least 10 dock workers at the port of Soucrus.
Yes, you heard it right, a full 10 people.
Of course, not all of these dock workers serve the shipping industry.
A considerable number of them are workers serving the dock workers.
The dock is not only a gathering place for the poor, but also a gathering place for people with lofty ideals.
Although there are no poor people in Dayan now.
But now most people call it a hard job.
There are no such things as poor people in Dayan, only lazy people.
People in Dayan don’t need to spend money on studying or seeing a doctor.
The money in the hands of ordinary people is enough to make them sweat.
But ordinary people have no place to spend their money!
Where do you think it can be spent?
Perhaps the only place to spend money is to travel abroad.
But now it is no longer called going abroad.
At most it is called cross-provincial.
How much does it cost to travel across provinces?
With the completion of the great cause of unification and after the surrounding areas have experienced a year or two of development, prices in various places have stabilized.
Although there may be some differences between countries.
But overall the prices are similar.
For example, one copper coin can buy two loaves of bread in the local area.
You can also buy two loaves of bread in the Holy Empire.
Maybe it will be a little more expensive in some remote areas.
But the local handmade bread is cheaper than this bread.
So overall the price difference is not that big.
And the salary difference is actually not that big.
Factories are opened all over the world.
Moreover, these factories are basically state-controlled.
Workers everywhere receive essentially the same wages.
Lyon does not change wages due to regional differences.
Because this will only make the differences bigger and even stimulate confrontation.
Many people don't actually ask for much.
Having enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear and a house to live in are enough to satisfy all their needs.
After disguising himself, Leon captured a dock worker.
"Brother, I came from the north and want to find a job here to make a living. Do you have any recommendations?"
Lyon looked at the dock in front of him, and the worker spoke.
The dock worker had just finished work and was covered in sweat. He became a little impatient when he saw Leon asking questions. Just as he was about to drive Leon away, he saw the cigarette Leon handed him.
The dock worker looked at Lyon, then looked at the cigarette that Lyon handed him and smiled.
"My dear brother, you have asked the right person!
I am a person who is known to everyone here!"
The workers came up and started arguing straight away.
The corners of Lyon's mouth twitched when he heard this, but he did not expose the worker in front of him.
Instead, he quietly listened to the performance of the workers in front of him.
“Making a living in Sukruz is actually very easy, as long as you are willing to endure hardships.
Dock worker is the most unskilled job.
Those large containers are lifted by machines, and we dock workers only need to move small pieces of cargo.
A worker like me at the port can earn 8 silver coins a month by working 5 hours a day.
There is also housing subsidy. The dock will provide housing, but if you don't live there, they will give you another half a silver coin.
This is 5 and a half silver coins. If you are a Dayan person, you can get another half silver coin subsidy.
Because the pace of unification is so fast now, although many people have obtained the citizenship of Dayan, they do not actually enjoy medical insurance.
But we dock workers get half a hidden medical insurance subsidy every month.
This money is equivalent to paying it to the hospital. If you get sick, the accumulated medical assistance will help you offset the expenses you have to pay.
Of course, if it’s not enough, I will definitely need to make up for it, but with a subsidy of 6 silver coins a year, if you can produce dozens of soldiers a year, then I have nothing to say..."
Listen to the words of the workers in front of you.
Lyon was silent.
The worker took the cigarette and wanted to take out the lighter from his pocket, but found that the lighter was missing. He then looked at Leon. Leon also reacted and took out the lighter to light the cigarette for the worker in front of him.
The worker looked satisfied after taking a few puffs.
"So, with 5 silver coins a month, you can still live well?"
Leon spoke up.
"Of course! 5 silver coins not only provide me with enough food and drink, but I can also save 20 silver coins every month. In the past six months of my work, I have saved more than silver coins.
I plan to save some money and go back to get married! I’ll start a small business in my hometown and spend the rest of my life there.”
The dock workers' eyes are full of longing for the future.
After hearing this, Leon smiled with satisfaction.
Although the salary of 5 silver coins is not much, it is already very little even for this kind of physical strength pot.
But there is no way, the Elf Empire’s treasury only has this much money.
At Nanxun Port, a dock worker does the same amount of work as a worker at Sucruz Port.
But their salary can reach 8~12 silver coins.
This is because there is sufficient capital in Dayan.
But the Elf Empire is different.
I don’t have much money myself and I have to rely on subsidies from Lyon.
It’s pretty good to be able to live like this.
Seeing Leon lighting a cigarette for the worker, the nearby intelligence agents and guards were all dumbfounded.
Wow, he asked the leader to light his cigarette. This is something I’ve never seen before!
Logically, the Intelligence Bureau should have filmed this scene, but they didn't dare to.
However, Yun Qingchi saw this scene and then decisively took out his camera to record it.
This is the first time Leon has smiled in these days!
Yun Qingchi was drinking tea leisurely in the tea shop nearby.
Many people looked over because Yun Qingchi was so beautiful.
But they saw several men in black standing beside Yun Qingchi.
They all wilted in an instant.
They still know which vote is more important...
The dock worker never imagined that the man in front of him was actually the leader he respected most.
As Lyon finished asking his questions, he handed the pack of cigarettes in his pocket to the worker.
Leon actually doesn't smoke, and this pack of cigarettes was borrowed from a comrade in the Intelligence Bureau.
Mainly because Leon had a sudden urge this morning and wanted to go to the dock, so he stole a pack of cigarettes from the intelligence agent.
Agent: Feed me peanuts!
(Good night)
