Chapter 76 2.34 The Establishment of the Wuya Town Production Brigade

After the lively "marriage", Duke Bernard led his men to leave Hanshui Village.

That afternoon, Loki counted the troops and set off for Wuya Town. In the past few days, nearly a thousand people have been crowded in the narrow Hanshui Village, and this narrow fishing village is about to burst.

He urgently needs to transport the excess population to Wuya Town and take a look at his territory in person.

Duke Bernard is a smart man. At the wedding, he clearly stated that the city belongs to his daughter Yuna. So Yuna is also in the team. Since early this morning, she has been complaining about the dilapidated and shabby Hanshui Village.

Loki, who can't afford to offend this living Buddha for the time being, is thinking about sending her to the Black Stone Castle in Wuya Town as soon as possible, so as not to lose control of his anger one day and accidentally kill her.

Walking on the official road, the breath of early spring has already hit us. The temperature on the peninsula has risen to about 10 degrees. After the sun rises, the ice and snow piled on the peaks melt, and broken ice falling from upstream floats on the river.

New buds are growing vigorously on the branches of the shrubs that have been dry for several months, and various animals in the vast forest have also walked out of their nests because of hunger.

Two days later, the group arrived at the Fog Duck Town in the mountains.

This was the first time Loki set foot on the land of Fog Duck Town. After arriving in this town, he found that Fog Duck Town was not much larger than Hanshui Village. The Black Stone Castle is the center here. There are about a hundred households inside and outside the city, and the entire town can accommodate about 600 people.

Black Stone Castle is a stone castle with a battlefield of about 2,000 square meters. From the appearance alone, it is indeed much more luxurious than the wooden castle in Hanshui Village. The stone used to build this castle comes from black stone mined from the mountains not far away. This stone contains a large amount of iron-nickel minerals, so it presents a black color similar to that of meteorites.

The castle in early spring is still very cold. Walking in it, Loki found that when the Blood Pigeon Town cavalry invaded Fog Duck Town, they had destroyed most of the furniture and looted all the valuables in the castle.

But Miss Yuna didn't mind.

"Anyway, they are all broken toys that country bumpkins are used to. Even if these things are intact and placed here, I will throw them all away and replace them with the latest models of the Eastern Tang Dynasty. As long as this castle is mine, it's fine."

"As for you, country bumpkin! You can't step into this castle without my message, you know! The gold and silver I brought as a dowry are enough for me to squander my whole life, and you can't even think of bribing me with gold and silver to make me serve you!"

"Haha, I understand, don't worry, you will never see me!" Loki laughed foolishly. This "widowed marriage" already made him very satisfied. When he heard that this lady didn't even spend her own money, he really wanted to sing a sacred praise to the sky.

This is really a "little angel" sent by God to himself!

Following Miss Yuna into the Black Stone Castle were more than 20 chefs, 50 "bodyguards", more than 30 maids, 20 horses and two butlers. Loki could actually feel that my eldest lady was not very favored by Duke Bernard, but even such an unpopular person in the family married in such a way.

A provincial duke among the Viking pirates was really rich enough to rival a country.

After settling this "lady", Loki no longer cared about him. What he really cared about were the two pillar industries of Fog Duck Town. The logging base and the oil mill. These two economic buildings were the most important assets he had gained this time.

At this time, Hanshui Village was full of Duke Bernard's spies. If you want to go out to sea to plunder, there must be spies of the Duke on the ship, and this requires paying a large amount of taxes to this respected "father-in-law".

But all the production income within the peninsula and his own territory is his own. He doesn't have to share a penny with others.

In his eyes, the logging base and the oil refinery in Fog Duck Town are two treasure pots.

After going to England once and experiencing a brutal battle, Loki understood a truth: if you run out, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.

In this world, it is not the case that you can only chop others, but not others. The powerful countries entrenched in various continents, and the powerful warriors of different skin colors are endless. Not every looting will definitely bring back stable income.

It is common for a group of pirates to lose everything. At this time, the production facilities inside the village are the fault tolerance rate and the guarantee to survive the cruel winter.

The logging base is located in the mountains, about an hour's walk from Fog Duck Town.

Even rough Viking strongmen know the truth that "rabbits don't eat grass near their nests." The tall coniferous forests around the village are all old trees over a hundred years old, and the wood used for felling is in the mountains.

The Gonk family has ruled Fog Duck Town for 10 years. They have divided 20 forest areas, cut down one area a year, and cycled every 20 years. Because the growth cycle of coniferous trees is about 20 years.

As for why this logging method is used?

This is not because the Vikings in the 8th century AD understood sustainable development, but because the Slavic slaves could not cut down the centuries-old or even thousand-year-old trees in the deeper mountains.

Only these "young trees" with a growth cycle of about 20 years can be easily cut and loaded by Slavic lumberjacks. The diameter of the wood is generally around 50-80 cm, which also meets the daily construction needs of the Vikings.

In addition to logging, another production method in Fog Duck Town is to collect pine oil that rolls down from trees, boil it at low temperature to evaporate the water vapor in the pine oil, and then mix it with oil from the underground of the "Dragon Breath Plateau" in a certain proportion to make fuel oil that can be easily ignited.

The fuel oil workshop is also outside the village, because boiling this thing will produce a strong odor.

Old Gongke fully demonstrated the true meaning of the four words "live on the mountain" and relied on a logging camp, an oil refinery and more than a hundred Slavic slaves to eventually train 200 professional Viking warriors.

Although the industry of Fog Duck Town is not as good as the coastal salt field of "Blood Pigeon Town", it is much better than Hanshui Village, which can only rely on pickled herring.

Fuel oil and wood are both necessities of life for Vikings, especially wood. Vikings can't build ships or houses without wood.

There are nearly 500 Slavic men and women in total who have settled in Fog Duck Town this time. In other words, all the Slavic slaves in Hanshui Village and those given to Loki by Duke Bernard are here.

After settling down, Loki called everyone to the square in front of Blackstone Castle and held the first meeting of the new leader of Fog Duck Town.

"I know you used to work under the whip of the Gonk family, but today I want to change that!"

"First of all, from this moment on, you will no longer work for the lord, but for yourself, your wife, and your children to have a better life!"

"So far, I declare the following laws."

1. All workers who participate in the work system will receive "three insurances and one fund"!

The first of the three insurances is pension insurance!

Workers who join the "Fog Duck Town Production Brigade" and have a full working age of 30 years can get a pension insurance! This insurance means that 30 years later, when you are over 50 years old, even if you lie at home every day and don't go to work, you can get a stable income!

Hearing this, all the workers present were shocked. For Slavic slaves, losing the ability to work often means losing all value. In this case, they have no choice but to die.

They have never seen or even heard of this benefit called pension insurance.

The second insurance is unemployment insurance!

If a regular worker in the factory loses his ability to work due to any work-related injury, the "Wu Ya Town Production Brigade" will provide you with medical services, and after you lose your ability to work, you will still receive a stable income!

The third insurance is called medical and educational insurance!

All regular staff of the "Wu Ya Town Production Brigade", themselves and their families, will have the opportunity to receive education and medical services unconditionally! No matter how many wives and children you have, as long as one person is on the payroll, the whole family will benefit!

The last "one fund" is called housing provident fund.

Uh, you don't understand this term now, it doesn't matter, listen to me carefully explain it to you.

From now on, the house you live in can be bought from the "Wu Ya Town Production Brigade" to your own hands! After buying the house, you will always have the property rights of this property and the land where the house is located!

As long as the property rights are in hand, your descendants and descendants of your descendants will always have the right to live in this house. No one has the right to take your private property back from you.

As long as you join the "Wuya Town Production Brigade", in addition to the fixed income every month, you will also receive an additional "housing and land provident fund" that can only be used to buy houses or land!

This money will help you buy your own property faster and settle down as soon as possible. As for the workers who have already bought houses, Wuya Town will also open up new farmland and forest farms! In addition to houses, you can also use this money to buy land that belongs only to you.

These farmlands and forest farms will also belong to your descendants forever!
