Chapter 831 Wood Elf Work Plan
Xiao Li obviously didn't finish his words. Since the Wood Elves had not formally surrendered to their Great Zhou, no matter how friendly they were, it was impossible for them to be completely open to the Wood Elves.
"But since you are not official citizens of our Great Zhou, most jobs are not open to you."
"Besides that, you cannot freely move between the cities in our Great Zhou. You can only stay in Green Forest City for now."
"If you want to go to other cities, you must apply in advance. You can only go after your application is approved. I hope you can understand this situation."
Locke basically understood the requests made by Xiao Li, or the Great Zhou party, and even felt that they were justified.
Not to mention that these conditions did not seem harsh to him.
But at this moment, Locke still had some doubts in his mind.
"Xiao Li, we have to apply in advance to go to other cities, and we can only go there after the application is approved. Didn't we have the ability to go to other cities before? Why can't we do that now?"
Faced with questions, Xiao Li also showed great patience.
"It's like this. The reason why you were able to travel to other cities at will was because I accompanied you throughout the journey. I was specifically responsible for receiving your purchases within our Great Zhou, and this was also a clause in our previous agreement."
"But if you want to work and earn money in our Great Zhou, I definitely can't follow you all the time, right?"
Locke was a little confused just now, but after Xiao Li said this, he quickly understood.
“So what specific jobs can we get?”
Zhou Xu had undoubtedly made arrangements for this.
Considering the talents of the elves, there are actually many important jobs that require mental strength and are suitable for them.
But! Before the Wood Elves officially joined their Great Zhou, this kind of work was basically not open to them.
"Green Forest City is a big city that produces timber. You should have seen the large forest outside the city. At present, there are probably two jobs that can be arranged for you. One is to join the logging team of Green Forest City and do logging work, and the other is to join the nearby timber processing factory and do timber processing work."
Locke nodded without saying anything, and motioned Xiao Li to continue.
"As for salary, it is calculated based on the workload each month. Simply put, you get paid based on how much work you do."
"Oh, by the way, these two jobs basically require some physical fitness. If your physical fitness is too poor, I'm afraid your workload will not be increased, and your income will not be much. The same is true if you are not diligent. I have to remind you of this first."
"In addition, the logging team is required to gather at 6:30 in the morning, and the timber processing plant is required to gather at 7 o'clock in the morning."
Locke didn't think there was anything wrong with this gathering time.
After all, if the hunting team in their village wants to hunt, they have to set out before dawn. Comparatively speaking, this time is not early.
However, no matter how fast they moved from the Wood Elf Village to Green Forest City, even with a horse-drawn carriage, it would still take two hours. That means four hours for the round trip.
The logging team gathered at 6:30 in the morning, so they had to set out at 4:30 in the morning, and they also needed a carriage.
This seems somewhat unrealistic to Locke.
At this time, he quickly raised this issue.
Xiao Li heard this and immediately smiled and said...
"Please rest assured, Chief Locke, we have also made arrangements for this issue and have provided you with two preferential treatments."
"One benefit is to provide staff dormitories with eight people in a room. Wood elves who want to work in Green Forest City can live there directly. This way, they don't have to travel back and forth for four hours every day. Of course, if you want a better dormitory, you have to pay to rent it yourself."
"Another benefit is that with the work ID, you can buy specific employee meals at a discounted price in the employee cafeteria during specific time periods, twice a day, in the morning and evening."
The two preferential treatments proposed by Xiao Li basically solved all of Locke's worries.
The only thing that concerned him was that, judging from the current situation, once they went to work in Da Zhou, their clansmen would have to live there.
But if you think about it rationally, it seems normal.
After all, if you want to work and make money in the Great Zhou, you have to live there, right? Otherwise, you have to commute two hours every day? This is unrealistic, not to mention that you may not be able to get a carriage. You can't get there in two hours on foot.
"Okay, I understand."
Locke nodded.
"Then how many people can we arrange to work there?"
"Any amount is fine."
Xiao Li gave the answer with a smile.
"You should be familiar with the population of our Great Zhou. The population of your village is at most two or three hundred wood elves. Even if all of them go, we can still arrange for them to come. Please rest assured about this."
Hearing this, Locke suddenly realized that he had asked a stupid question.
Indeed, compared with the population of Da Zhou, the population of their village is nothing. Thinking back to when he first arrived in Da Zhou City, he was completely frightened by the exaggerated flow of people.
It’s hard to imagine that so many people live there.
After thanking Xiao Li again for his help, Locke said he still had to discuss it with the tribesmen.
After hearing this, Xiao Li did not stay any longer and quickly got up and said goodbye.
As soon as Xiao Li left, Locke gathered the tribesmen together to discuss this matter.
The wood elves were not very enthusiastic about working in sawmills and wood processing plants, but when they heard that they could live in Green Forest City, they became excited.
Although in their opinion, life in Green Forest City is not as good as that in West Mountain City, it is still more interesting than staying in the village and daydreaming.
Thinking of this, the hands of the wood elves in front of them immediately raised.
Looking at the hands raised in front of him, Locke had reason to suspect that these guys were not aware of the key issue here at all.
"You little brats! Get it straight first. You are going to Da Zhou to work and earn money this time, not just to eat, drink and have fun like before!"
Having said that, Locke thought for a moment and quickly mentioned the previous purchase in Green Forest City.
"Just like when we went to Green Forest City for procurement, you have to work, and more work. At the same time, you can't go wherever you want like you did when you went for procurement. Once you start working, you have to follow the arrangements of your work unit in Da Zhou."
Listening to Locke's words, the wood elves all looked disapproving.
They had indeed spent a lot of effort in the previous purchase, but there would be a next time, and they would go anyway! Although it was he who took the initiative to bring up the idea of working and making money in Da Zhou, now looking at the raised hands in front of him, Locke felt a little uncomfortable.
At this rate, if they allowed these brats to sign up, wouldn't all the wood elves in their village be gone? Although it didn't seem to make much difference whether these brats were in the village or not, Locke just felt uncomfortable at the moment, so he simply emphasized...
"This job requires physical fitness. This time, we will select 50 people with good physical fitness and give it a try."
Update is here, thanks to book friend '深蓝幻月' for the reward.
