Chapter 128: Paying Village Fees
At the entrance of the Global Village, Yun Qimu sat on the branch of the Danmu tree, picking fruits and waiting for people.
Originally, Wu Xingyu's caravan was supposed to set off two days ago, but Yun Qimu was later added to the caravan, and matters in the Global Village had not been arranged yet, so they kept delaying it until today. The vegetables and fruits in the greenhouse were watered with plant culture solution this morning, so it was time to harvest the second crop.
Yun Qimu still let Yun Xiaoyu do this task. Today is the sixth day. The previous time for hiring the Tengu people was five days, but now it has exceeded the time limit. Yun Qimu gave some spirit coins and asked Yun Xiaoyu to recruit temporary workers by himself.
Little Yun Xiaoyu was very smart. He knew that the taxes in the task hall still belonged to his sister, so he took the spirit coins to the task hall and posted a recruitment notice.
It became the second task in the task list. The first one was of course the long-term task of purchasing food ingredients issued by Mrs. Song Wu.
As for the matter at the textile factory, Yun Qimu also talked to Hua Lan and several other key members who had performed particularly well in the past five days. She would give a raise to those who were willing to stay, and those who were not willing could just leave.
As a result, all ten people were willing to stay and continue working. After all, the textile factory was full of women, with Cook being the only man. Compared with men, they were afraid of danger and had no adventurous spirit. Staying here and continuing to work was the safest option.
In addition to them, there were other women in the village who also came to ask about joining the textile factory.
However, Yun Qimu did not charge any extra people, as ten people were enough now.
After some thought and investigation of Hualan, Yun Qimu decided to promote her to the director of the textile factory, so that Xiao Zhuzhu could be relieved of her minor management duties.
She had asked, and the children still liked to follow Yun Xiaoyu to train and fight monsters. They wanted to become stronger and were not willing to stay in the textile factory at all.
Yun Qimu did not detain them. He paid them their wages and let them go.
Anyway, there is Haru, the nanny, and Yun Xiaoyu has Yun's father by her side. The Tang family father and son are also very caring towards the children. As long as they don't leave the village, there is very little danger.
As for why Yun Qimu was free to climb trees and pick fruits here, it was naturally for those eight tourists.
The five-day tour had expired yesterday, but because it was too late, Yun Qimu allowed them to stay in the Global Village for another night and leave this morning.
Look, Yun Qimu was kind enough to come and see them off early in the morning.
Seeing Lai San, Jason and others coming out together, Yun Qimu jumped down from the tree and stood at the village gate and smiled at them kindly.
But Lai Sansan was so shocked by her laughter that his legs went limp and he almost fell to his knees.
Could it be that this female devil doesn't want to let them go and wants to keep them as slaves?
He has traveled around the global village in the past few days and learned about the slaves' trilogy of blood and tears. After his miserable life, Lai San is really scared to death.
Jason and the other two, who had been forced to do labor with slaves, were even more afraid. Being a slave was really uncomfortable, and they didn't want to be one again.
Jason looked at Yun Qimu warily. The excitement he had felt when he saw Hou Qi's distorted face now turned into fear of Yun Qimu.
As long as they are in the global village and in her territory, they will never be able to be their own masters.
Yun Qimu knew what they were thinking. A smile still hung on her beautiful face as she called out to them cordially, "Aren't you leaving the village yet? You want to stay here, right? I don't object, but you're still a little short of what it takes to be a proper villager."
Lai Sanba shuddered and shook his head like a rattle. "No, no, no, let's go out. We're getting ready to go out now."
Then eight people came running over, trying to rush out directly.
But Yun Qimu turned around and blocked the entrance of the village.
"etc--"
Lai San's pupils shrank and he slammed on the brakes nervously.
After hesitating for a long time, Jason chose to stop in silence, wanting to hear what she had to say.
Yun Qimu stood there in a white cotton-padded jacket, her pretty face buried in a warm scarf. Her exposed black eyes were bright and her smile was as beautiful as a flower. "Don't be in a hurry to leave. Listen to me first. We have a rule for tourists leaving the Global Village. If you want to take anything produced here with you, you have to pay for it."
Jason was stunned. "What about the potions we bought from the pharmacy workshop with our spirit coins?"
Yun Qimu calmly replied, "You also have to pay the village fee."
Jason's face twisted, and his voice rose. "But we've already paid the spirit coins."
Yun Qimu looked at him strangely. "Any goods shipped out of the interstellar world must also pay additional taxes. Isn't it reasonable for us to charge a village exit fee?"
Jason, the star pirate who had never paid taxes before, had nothing to say, but the situation was more powerful than him, so he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, how much tax do you want to collect?"
Yun Qimu smiled with satisfaction. "Not much. We'll just double the original price. For example, the big red medicine from the pharmacy workshop costs 40 spirit coins. If you want to take it out of the Global Village, you'll have to pay 80 spirit coins."
"What—" Jason's eyes widened and he roared fiercely, "You might as well go rob people. You're even more cruel than us space pirates."
Yun Qimu's smile faded, and he curled his lips in displeasure. "This is our regular fee. It's up to you whether you want it or not. I'm not forcing you to accept it. The products we produce in Global Village are all good things, and they are priceless outside. If you don't want to accept it, just leave what you got from Global Village and you can leave."
Yun Qimu grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and ate them while saying, "I'll give you a minute to think about it. I'm very busy, so make a decision quickly."
Lai San's face was full of confusion. He had been lucky in the past five days. When he came out of the mission hall that day, he encountered a snow fish that hit him.
He took some effort to kill the snow fish and then got a brass treasure chest containing a snow fish meat, three spirit coins, and a dagger.
These things just solved his urgent needs. Three spirit coins were for accommodation, and the snow fish meat filled his stomach.
The next day he climbed out of the cabin refreshed and continued looking for monsters.
He didn't dare to go on an adventure into the mountains, so he just wandered around the village like the Tengu people. He was lucky and gained a lot.
What satisfied him most was that a defensive jade pendant was found in one of the brass treasure chests. This was a good thing to save his life, so he immediately decided to keep it for himself, and would not give it to the patriarch even if he asked for it.
But now.
I don’t know how many spirit coins it will take to take it out?
Also, are the spirit coins considered to be produced by the Global Village?
Thinking of this, he asked cautiously.
Yun Qimu opened his eyes wide and asked in shock, "Of course it counts. Are there any spirit coins outside of the Global Village?"
Good night, good night~
