Chapter 54

Rogers, covered in blood, proudly reported his achievements to Donne: "Lord! A total of 580 miners in Brussels iron mine have been assembled!"

"I know, but what's the matter with these bodies?"

"Baron duvier's supervisor and mine guard have all been killed!"

Rogers said angrily, "they are the bottom borers. They don't regret to help Rex exploit the workers!"

"Well... What's the matter with this man?"

Donne pointed to the half dead miner next to Rogers and looked at Rogers' attitude. I'm afraid he wasn't his companion.

"This man..."

Rogers said angrily, "I regard him as a brother, but he betrayed me!"

"Spare my life! Rogers! I know I'm wrong! I shouldn't have told Lord durum! Spare me!"

The man desperately begged for mercy and only wanted to live.

"Spare you? If the Lord didn't bring someone to save me, now I've seen death, I'll spare you? Who will spare me?"

Rogers snapped, "today I'll let everyone know what happens to traitors in front of them!"

Rogers cut off the man's head with a sword, held his head high and shouted, "in the future, if there are more traitors in the Brussels iron mine, Martin will be an example!"

The miners cheered loudly. Some older and frail miners saw the sky again. They knelt on the ground and burst into tears, excited to see the sun again.

Baron duvier didn't care about the lives of these miners. He squeezed them like slaves. When he entered the mine, he couldn't think of it. He ate and lived in the mine. If he didn't dig enough every day, he would be beaten and tortured. Many people were almost dying and were carried out by his workmates.

Donne frowned slightly and said to Elsa, "feed the weak and injured miners some water. “

Elsa knew that Donne meant water mixed with the blood of the goddess, so she immediately arranged it, and soon the guard began to feed water one by one.

After drinking the water mixed with the blood of the goddess, these people's physical strength recovered rapidly, and their injuries healed quickly. They were excited and exclaimed miracles one by one.

"This is not a miracle!"

Elsa shouted, "this is the goddess's blood given by the merciful Lord. Thanks to the Lord, you can be saved and free. You should thank the Lord!"

It's a gift from the Lord!?

"Long live your Lord!"

"Long live your Lord!"

"Long live your Lord!"

Cheers came and went. Just one face to face, Donne had completely conquered them and became the well deserved Lord Ellington in their hearts.

Donne stepped forward, pressed his hand, and the surroundings immediately quieted down.

"Today, Baron duvier's running dogs have been killed, and the Brussels iron mine has returned to Ellington's arms. This will be Ellington's sacred territory, and no one can occupy it!"

Donne's voice came into everyone's ears. He glanced around: "you've suffered all these years!"

With a cry of bitterness, endless melancholy surged into my heart. How many people once entered the mine, separated from their families forever and never met again? How many people left their lives here?

The miners sobbed in a low voice.

"First of all, I'd like to announce some news."

"From today on, the miners serving in the Brussels iron mine will be regarded as my employees. As long as they dig up ten kilograms of ore every day, they can get a gold coin salary every month. Twenty kilograms a day, two gold coins a month, thirty kilograms, three gold coins a month. More work, more pay, less work, less gain. If they don't dig up ten kilograms of ore every day, they will only pay There is a base salary of ten silver coins. "

"Kilogram is the new weight unit I set up. You will soon know how to measure it."

If Fiona is here, it is estimated that she will complain that Donne spends money indiscriminately. These people are residents of Ellington. Serving for the Lord is free, which is also one of the costs of living here. Obviously, there is no need to spend money, but Donne is spending money indiscriminately again

"Ten kilograms of ore a day? One gold coin a month!? did I hear you right!? I'm afraid this kilogram is not light!"

"What the LORD said is true!"

"Oh, my God! We can get paid!"

The crying miners were stunned. Their faces were still full of tears, but they couldn't help showing a surprise smile. Their expression was very strange.

"This is only the base salary. In addition, each of you can get a share of a copper coin for each kilogram of ore dug up. The share is counted every day and settled at the end of the month."

"The gods are above! Mining here can get a share in addition to salary!?"

"One kilogram of ore can be divided into one copper coin. Digging 30 kilograms a day is 30 copper coins and 900 a month. The God of light can earn nine more silver coins in addition to three gold coins!"

"Merciful Lord! How can I praise you! You must be the son of God!"

"Those who serve in the mine can also get two days of leave every month. These two days of leave can be at their own disposal. They can apply to Rogers at that time, but the leave must be approved without affecting the normal work of the mine."

"For employees who are injured at work, the expenses of treatment will be directly borne by the Lord's office. Employees with excellent performance can also get paid holidays. If you want to get better treatment, work hard for me. I never treat my employees badly."

With just a few policies, Donne suddenly turned the job of the mine from a hard job that one can't avoid into a beautiful job. You know, they had no income from mining here before - according to the imperial law, they should get some basic wages, but no Lord would do it.

"However, in addition to these, there is a new rule. From today on, the mine will no longer use personnel under the age of 18 and over the age of 50. These people can end their service and return to Ellington. Ellington will start new construction soon. Believe me, there will be places where you can play your value."

Donne paused and continued, "in addition, in view of durum's cruel behavior, I will give you all three days off from today. In these three days, you can go back to Ellington and have a good rest. After three days, Rogers will lead you back to the mine to continue working."

"From now on, Rogers is the new manager of the Brussels iron mine."

Donne finished in one breath and cheered immediately. He was excited by his generosity and kindness. The three-day holiday may be nothing to others, but it is very important to them.

There are too many people here who haven't seen their families for too long. They all want to go home and have a look, but they were embarrassed to speak before.

But I didn't expect the Lord to consider it directly for them.

Lord, it's so kind!

The miners could not help but swear in their hearts that they must work hard after the holiday and strive to earn more gold coins to go home.

Looking at the excited crowd, Donne felt strange. Although he knew that the mining industry made money by squeezing these people's labor force, he was still cruel.

In fact, he wants to set his salary higher, but only 100 gold coins can be bought directly for a ton of iron ore. if the salary is too high, the mine will completely lose its meaning, so now the price is very appropriate.

A man is ruthless. He digs 30 kilograms a day and 900 kilograms a month. Almost a meal, but he only needs to pay three gold coins and nine silver coins. The profit difference is really amazing.

No wonder Baron duvier dared to rob this iron mine at the risk of universal condemnation.

"Now, everyone tidy up and escort these soldiers home."

At Dunn's command, the men immediately got busy, took off the shackles from the miners, tied up duvier's soldiers, and drove on like ducks.

On the way back, they also cleaned the road according to Donne's requirements. After all, this road will be an important channel for transporting iron ore to Ellington in the future. It must be spacious and flat enough.

By the time they cleared the way back to Ellington, it was already midnight.

"Who?"

As soon as he approached Ellington, the sentry had issued a warning.

"Aaron, it's me, Elsa!"

"Ah! It's the Lord and captain Elsa. They're back - eh!?"

The sentry exclaimed, "Lord, those soldiers..."

"Don't worry, it's a soldier. Open the door."

Donne looked at the simple fence and gate and couldn't help shaking his head. The fence would defend against wild animals. It was of no use to people.

Let the guard send the soldiers to prison. After demobilizing the miners, Donne returned to the Lord's house.

Fearing that it would affect other people's sleep, Donne quickly returned to his room.

"Hoo, you can finally have a rest."

Donne was too lazy to wash his face. He threw himself on the bed as soon as he took off his clothes, and then Donne was stunned.

The body is soft, and you can feel a continuous warm feeling in your hands.

"Ah!?"

A exclamation made Donne dumbfounded: "Tina!?"

"Lord, Lord!"

Tina blushed and said in panic, "yes, I'm sorry! I, I waited for you too late and fell asleep accidentally!"

No, no, no, the point is, why are you in my bed!?

Before Donne could speak, Tina said flustered, "Lord, dinner is cold. I'll heat it up for you!"

With that, Tina, who was guilty, was going to slip away.

"Wait!"

Donne suddenly stopped her.

Tina froze there, her heart pounding wildly.

What does your Lord want to say?

What would he do?

Is it

Donne smiled and said, "I won't have dinner. Go straight back and have a rest."

"Oh, oh, okay, okay!"

Stammering Tina covered her face and ran away.

Donne lay back in bed, and there was a smell of women around him, which relaxed his nerves involuntarily.

"Tina... It's really inexplicable. Don't you have a bed?"

Donne shook his head and fell asleep=== PS: it's a good habit to finish reading the voting collection. It's everyone's responsibility to support genuine reading~
