Chapter 833 The more I think about it, the angrier I
get Some of the wood elves who came to Green Forest City to work, fought hard and slowly adapted to life here.
But there were also some people who couldn't stand the high-intensity physical labor and ran back.
After all, the situation of the wood elves is different from that of the grassland elves. The entire village of the grassland elves was destroyed, and then they surrendered to the Great Zhou. They had no way out, and if they wanted to survive in the Great Zhou, they had to adapt.
But the wood elves are different, they still have their own village.
Of course, there were only a few wood elves who completely abandoned their pride and ran back in disgrace. Among the fifty wood elves, there were only three of them.
But the interesting thing is that after they ran back to the village and stayed there for a while, they wanted to go back to Green Forest City to work...
After all, I have lived in the city. If there is a choice, who would want to stay in a backward village with nothing? "Chief Locke, this matter of yours is very difficult for me to handle."
Inside the Da Zhou Posthouse outside the Basin Forest, Xiao Li looked at Locke with a headache.
Faced with this situation, Locke felt embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"It was those three brats who were at fault this time. I've already taught them a lesson. Can you give them another chance?"
"Excuse me, Chief Locke, arranging your people to work and earn money in our Great Zhou was already a special case. The three of them left their posts without permission and ran back to the village. This is a complete breach of contract and has also affected the relevant work arrangements."
"You should be held liable for breach of contract. At the same time, this practice has also greatly affected your credibility. We did not pursue it because of the friendship between the two parties."
At this point, Xiao Li's tone was already somewhat speechless.
"Under such circumstances, are we going to let them go back to work? That would simply be trampling on the laws of our Great Zhou. How would the Great Zhou workers who are doing the same job feel about this? How would we explain this matter?"
Although Xiao Li's tone was not harsh at this time, Locke on the opposite side was sweating profusely after hearing it.
In the final analysis, it was because they were indeed wrong this time, which made Locke, who brought up this matter, have no confidence at all.
They of the Great Zhou Dynasty did hope to allow the wood elves to come and work and live among them, and then further assimilate them.
Under this premise, they did show a higher level of tolerance towards the wood elves who came to work.
Otherwise, according to their work efficiency, they should have packed up and left long ago, leaving the beds in the dormitory vacant so that they could recruit more efficient workers.
But being inclusive does not mean that they have no bottom line and allow those wood elves to come and go freely.
If this is true, then do they still need the rules of the Great Zhou? Who will abide by them in the future? Wiping his sweat, Locke suppressed his shame and looked at Xiao Li with sincerity in his eyes.
"I'm really sorry about this, please give me a chance to make amends."
The work of assimilating the wood elves still has to continue, and the rules of their Great Zhou must be maintained, but they obviously don't intend to go to extremes.
In this way, facing this situation, Xiao Li thought about it and then said...
“It can be treated as a breach of contract.”
"How to deal with it specifically?"
When he heard there was a solution, Locke immediately started asking.
"Pay the penalty, and then let the three of them review and apologize in public. As long as they are forgiven by their respective units, they can continue to work there."
"What is the amount of the penalty?"
"One hundred silver coins per person."
Locke breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this number.
If it's three hundred silver coins, they can still afford it.
Looking at Locke's expression, Xiao Li couldn't help but remind him again.
"Patriarch Locke, I have to remind you that this is not just a matter of three hundred silver coins. The actions of the three of them this time have affected your integrity. It doesn't mean that after paying the penalty and publicly reviewing and apologizing, this matter can be regarded as nothing happened."
At this point, Xiao Li paused.
"If the three of them make mistakes again after they return to work, then Your Majesty will probably reconsider letting the wood elves come to work in our Great Zhou. Do you understand?"
It was not difficult for Locke to understand this matter.
It's like when one of their own brats does something shameful outside, it affects the reputation of their entire clan.
This time, the integrity of their clan was affected. Locke was getting angrier and angrier. After talking to Xiao Li, he returned to the village and caught the three evildoers and beat them up! Previously, he just gave them a verbal lesson, but this time he took direct action.
The screams like a pig being slaughtered startled the other wood elves in the village and they all gathered together.
The three wood elves were seen, now bruised and swollen, being rolled up into the air by the vines. There were two thick vines on the side, whipping them left and right, making them scream and howl. It was very lively.
After dealing with them, Locke looked at the tribesmen who had basically gathered together and told the whole story with a stern face.
The tribesmen who understood the situation now all frowned. They suddenly lost their sympathy for the three guys and felt that they deserved it. How could they do such a shameful thing?
In the end, these three guys paid compensation, apologized, reviewed their mistakes, and were sent back to the factory.
By the way, Locke selected another hundred tribesmen to send to Green Forest City to work and earn money, and repeatedly reminded them to behave well.
Wanting to restore the tribe's image was only one of the reasons. Another reason was that Locke discovered that after sending the first batch of wood elves to work in Green Forest City, the internal expenses in their village had dropped significantly.
Simply put, the more wood elves that go out to work, the lower their internal expenses will be, and the longer the remaining silver coins can be used.
This made Locke feel like he had grasped the trick, so he quickly increased his strength and started to operate.
The Great Zhou was naturally very happy about this and accepted as many as came.
By the time Zhou Xu learned about this matter, everything had already been handled. He then wrote a summary report, briefly reporting the specific situation.
This made Zhou Xu very satisfied. It was good that things could be done well and he didn't have to worry about it.
During this period, logistical troops carrying supplies out of Xishan City were heading towards Anling City where the war had broken out in an orderly manner.
At this moment, a "boom" sound suddenly came from the distance, accompanied by the blowing of yellow sand all over the sky. A group of Centaurs wearing leather armor and with a sturdy posture appeared in the dust! "Aren't the Centaurs of our Great Zhou stationed in Feiyan City? Why are they coming here?"
"No, there is no military flag of our Great Zhou, so this is not our Great Zhou army!"
"Fuck! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"
