Chapter 518 519 ShepherdsAnother corner of the world, compared to the terrifying hell of Shackburn, is rich and prosperous, people It can be completely described as living and working in peace and contentment. Of course, any place other than Shake could be called paradise.
Although, a year ago, it was not Alanhill's dominion, but now production has resumed and many places are thriving.
In the bright and spacious room, luxurious translucent curtains hang on both sides of the windows, and the style of carved beams and paintings is the latest trend, known as the Imperial Family Baroque fashion. The reason is that the emperor suddenly had a thought to decorate a side hall of the Imperial Palace in this style, and then it immediately became popular in the aristocratic circle.
As the saying goes, since the emperor suddenly liked this style, the people below immediately began to imitate this style of decoration, and he did not mean to be stingy with money at all.
Especially in these remote places, the houses bought by the nobles have not had time to decorate, so it is naturally more convenient to change the style.
"It's all human! We should save our fellow sufferers!" A man dressed in Serris' traditional dress, which Emperor Your Majesty has recently enjoyed so much, played with the ring on his finger, stroking it like a pigeon's egg The size of the gem, said solemnly vowed.
His words drew the approval of a group of fat-headed men who nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, we should save these poor lambs, who let Are we kind-hearted shepherds?"
As Alanhill expanded, so did industry. In order to survive, many companies are constantly shifting their factories to seek lower production costs.
Because these factories are not very high-end industrial technology, they can only increase their competitiveness by continuously reducing their production costs.
The most important way for them to reduce production costs is to find ways to move their factories to the newly occupied area of Alanhill, and use the cheap labor costs there to reduce the cost of their products.
Thus, what these factories like most are the so-called "lambs" that are third-class citizens, and even captives who surrender, for which they call themselves shepherds.
After all, under the laws of Alanhill, third-class citizens, as well as those in the newly occupied areas, cannot enjoy some basic legal rights. These people are easily exploited, and are actually happy to be exploited.
Although these factories are very inhuman, in these newly occupied areas, even their inhuman practices are still a good news for everyone to live.
Even if it's just a supply of mustard greens and cheap bread to the peasants who have no food, the region can be completely stabilized.
The local civilians who have received these benefits can immediately go to work in the factory, receive some simple training, and start working beside the machine tool.
Anyway, these cheap flesh and blood factories are only engaged in the production of some inferior commodities, such as cheap screws, cheap door hinges, and some small parts.
In short, give these people a machine tool, and then let them produce day and night, and they can get a lot of profits.
And the people here will feel very happy for a long time after they get food and drink. After all, these people have not yet felt how terrifying the benefits of Alanhill are. Will not understand what the difference between Heaven and Earth is.
When these people realize that they are being exploited, these factories have also been replaced by large factories that will be built later, and they will continue to expand to the border areas and continue to build those uncivilized areas.
The senior management of Alanhill also has an attractive spectacle for this kind of exploitation, because this kind of exploitation is of absolute benefit to them.
On the one hand, the construction of such a small flesh and blood factory can cultivate the industrial awareness of the local civilians and save the training time of real industrial talents.
At the same time, these factories can also let the local people get used to the way of working overtime, and can also let them learn some Alanhill people's way of life before they officially become Alanhill people.
On the other hand, such flesh and blood factories can also improve the level of local infrastructure. First of all, they have to lay various lines and arrange power plants - and these are all strictly required by the senior management of Alanhill.
At least, after the power station is phased out and replaced, these high-standard pipelines will remain and become the legacy of the subsequent large-scale factories, which will speed up the subsequent construction.
Therefore, even though the upper echelons knew that these so-called shepherds had bad tactics and were indeed unscrupulous and exploited the civilians in the newly occupied areas, they still pretended to be deaf and did not deal with these people on a large scale.
However, as Alanhill became more and more powerful, these shepherds kept improving the "lamb" treatment in the newly occupied areas, and they had to start using ordinary bread instead of black bread, with Better ham, to replace the original Bude mustard.
Although Bude mustard is very famous in many Magic Empires, but the largest consumer group, Alanhill's military purchases, has actually decreased a lot.
Because sales were affected, the stock of Bude City's Bude Mustard Group Co., Ltd. fell slightly in a row, which also triggered analysis by many Economics analysts.
An Economics expert from the southern part of the Holy Demon Emperor thinks that this economy is a concrete manifestation of the collapse of the Alanhill economy. He thinks that the Alanhill people gave up the Budd mustard as a side dish for instant noodles because of lower incomes, which have Can't afford it.
However, this remark was quickly ridiculed by the inner circle of Alanhill ruling circles, because no one would think that they could not afford Bude mustard, even the poorest first-class citizens of Alanhill, at this moment It is comparable to the standard of living of ordinary small nobles in the past.
They enjoy a more efficient and advanced medical system, many advanced medical equipment, and more professional doctors.
At the same time, the core area also enjoys a higher level of education. Children in these areas can get a good education, including kindergarten, preschool education, as well as elementary, middle, and high schools. Colleges require exams and admission rates Also higher than residents of other areas.
What's more terrifying is that because of the knowledge magic ball, almost all the civilians here have a skill, they are all engaged in very high-level jobs, and many people earn a lot of money because of this.
Because the Alanhill empire values industry, and there are many thriving industries that can continue to invest, Alanhill's tertiary industry is actually not developed. On the contrary, many emerging industries such as tourism can only be regarded as general. scale.
Because the above attaches great importance to higher-level industries, most businessmen are also willing to invest in the real industry. Although the real estate and the stock market are also prosperous, they are still in a state of containment. .
"The message sent by the people above is to let us improve the happiness of some civilians in the southern region. This is a task assigned by our backers above. If anyone does not do well, that is. I can't get along with everyone's wealth..." The man who was playing with his huge gemstone ring opened his mouth and said the purpose of the meeting at this time.
The faces of several men immediately turned ugly, and an enchanting woman complained in a snarky voice: "How come it has improved again? Is there a way to survive?"
She relied on the wealth accumulated by the aristocrats who cheated on her, and then she became a so-called shepherd. In the past two years, she made a lot of money, and gradually used her nepotism Lady.
Everyone who knew her gave her a bit of a thin face. After all, no one wanted to have a grudge against a woman. This woman who is more Black Widow than poisonous spider is not too old, but she has been widowed all the time, but she has raised quite a few pretty boys.
"Since you don't want to live anymore, then I'll fulfill you." The man in the lead sneered and said, "Anyway, you know our rules, once the backer gets angry, it's important that someone come out to back it up. This is a black pot."
He looked towards the woman's pretty face as he spoke, snorted: "Don't think that everyone is greedy for your skin, something really happened, someone who can protect you Not much."
In the opinion of this leader, as long as it is not the so-called backer who slept with the woman behind him, he can ignore it.
Of course, if the most terrifying women in this empire are the nobles of the Imperial Family... but the probability of provoking these celestial troops and generals is very small, so the one behind him Backers can be regarded as high-level people who can talk about it within the empire.
Hearing the threat from the first person, the woman's face was obviously unhappy for a moment. But then, she remembered the bed friend who used her own way to squeeze the workers because she was disobedient.
The man who had spent a lot of money to have sex with her never appeared again after a meeting similar to today was held half a year ago.
She still remembered that when the other party was leaving, she arrogantly said that she also had a backer. If it wasn't for the purpose of hooking up with this man's backer, she would not have offered a pillow seat to have any intersection with the fat man. But obviously from the results, this man's backing is not very effective.
Therefore, this exquisite woman put away her face, squeezed out a smile, and compromised: "I know! I know! You are a great god, but I am so nervous that this little girl is scared. She's ugly."
As she said that, she also leaned over, preparing to sell some of her looks to please the man in the lead.
Showing a satisfied smile, he opened his mouth and warned: "I have always been the most fair in doing things. If everyone is obedient, they will make money... If someone is disobedient, the consequences will be their own. Let's..."
