"I don't welcome him!" Heinz's face was pale, completely revealing the unhappiness in his heart.
"Xu Yi, when you agreed to this fellow coming, why didn't you tell me?
Don't you know that in order to make the Magic Rice Cooker, we are working hard every day. I'm so busy every day, but you're stuffing in this kind of delicate young master from a noble family, do you still want us to work properly? "
Xu Yi looked at Baron Hannas who had a curious look on his face as he ran around the workshop like a cat and he couldn't help saying, "It can't be, right?
Didn't I say that you don't need to care about him, just treat him as if he doesn't exist.
You don't need to treat him as a noble young master, anyway he said that we don't need to be polite to him. "
"It's easy for you to say!"
Heinz angrily said, "No matter what, he is still a noble young master from Anvilmar City and based on what you said, he must be from a large noble family.
There are so many production magic machines and parts in this workshop, if something happens to him or he's even injured, how can our factory continue operating?
Even if nothing happens to him, just by standing here, he will affect our normal work!
Look, he's even harassing our workers ….. My god!
He actually wants to control the Magic Thread Rolling Machine! "
Xu Yi and Heinz quickly ran over and pulled back Baron Hannas who was eager to try.
"This ….. Ke, Baron Hannas, you can look around the workshop, but I think you should forget about operating it yourself, right?"
Xu Yi had received enough hints from Viscount Leslie, so he knew that Baron Hannas' background wasn't small, so he tried to be as kind as possible to him.
"There is a bit of danger in operating this production magic machine. If you haven't been trained and want to operate it, it's very likely that you'll be injured.
Look, this head can flatten an iron nail, so I think that it shouldn't be hard to break your fingers or even your arm, right? "
Baron Hannas was a bit surprised, "It can't be, right?
I think that these workers are quite easy to operate. "
"That's because they're already skilled workers.
You have to know, when these production magic machines were first brought in, the workers in charge of operating them were all injured. One of them even had his arm broken. "
After saying this, Xu Yi desperately signaled to the workers beside the Magic Thread Rolling Machine with his eyes.
The workers understood and hurriedly chimed in.
"Right, right, right, that kid Tucci's arm still can't use it."
"That's right, this thing is very dangerous. I almost got caught in it last time and if I didn't react fast enough, I might have lost my arm."
"Right, this magic machine isn't something that can be casually played with, people who aren't familiar with it might be injured."
… …
Hearing the frightening words of the workers, Baron Hannas hesitated for a moment. He could only sigh and give up helplessly.
"Alright then, I won't operate it myself. I'll just watch you guys operate it."
Xu Yi and Heinz let out a sigh of relief, but they saw Baron Hannas take out a small book and a pen, recording something in front of the two of them.
"There is a bit of danger in operating the production magic machines, there are even workers who have been injured."
Xu Yi looked at the record in the book and his face twitched.
He never thought that the things he casually made up to fool him would be recorded by him.
It was a good thing that there wasn't a workers' union in the Sines right now, otherwise just based on this record, his workshop would have to close down.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi suddenly thought of something. Although he paid attention to the workers' welfare, the safety measures and compensation weren't perfect enough.
The workers in the workshop hadn't had any accidents yet, so this hidden danger hadn't been exposed. But once something happened, if there weren't proper measures, there would be a problem.
The only workers in the workshop before were Viscount Leslie's slaves, but now that they had recruited a hundred normal workers, they had to pay attention to this problem.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi explained everything to Heinz in front of Baron Hannas.
Seeing Baron Hannas record everything in the little book, Xu Yi couldn't help revealing a faint smile.
This Baron Hannas was recording these things, it was clear that he would bring them back for Lewis to see.
If these things could catch Lewis' interest or even importance, it would be helpful to Xu Yi's future plans.
After visiting the household magic machine workshop, Xu Yi followed Baron Hannas to the production magic machine workshop.
Seeing that the workshop was filled with dwarves, Baron Hannas was very surprised.
Since the race wars thousands of years ago, there were fewer and fewer races in human society.
Even in the Lampari Kingdom's capital, Anvilmar City, there were only a few dwarves, not to mention a hundred dwarves at once.
Baron Hannas couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart as he grabbed the leader Camby to ask all kinds of questions. Only these questions weren't related to the production magic machines, rather they were related to the daily lives of the dwarves.
Seeing Baron Hannas excitedly asking questions, Xu Yi couldn't help shaking his head as he was certain in his heart.
If this Baron Hannas was placed on earth, the most suitable job for him would be paparazzi.
Thinking of paparazzi, Xu Yi suddenly had an idea.
He remembered that a month ago, he had asked Heinz if there were any newspapers in Banta City. The answer he received was that there were only bulletins from the City Lord's Manor and there weren't any proper newspapers.
Now that he saw Baron Hannas acting like a paparazzi, Xu Yi couldn't help thinking of the tabloids on earth. Then he suddenly thought that since there weren't any newspapers in this world, why didn't he just create one himself?
On earth, before the internet appeared, newspapers were the key tools that controlled the mouths of the people. If one could control newspapers, it was equal to controlling public opinion and could even guide the hearts of the people to a certain extent.
If Xu Yi could make a newspaper now, it would definitely create a stir in the world.
Of course, in the Sines where class was still very important, trying to control the hearts of the people was seeking death. But this didn't stop him from obtaining other benefits through newspapers, for example, advertising … …
Thinking of this, Xu Yi's helpless eyes looking at Baron Hannas instantly changed.
###
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed, and it was officially the tenth month of autumn.
Most of the green leaves on the trees had been dyed golden yellow, and the people on the streets had gradually begun to put on long gowns. The cool breeze brought by the flowing air had also begun to carry a trace of coolness. As for the summer heat, it had long disappeared.
This day was a normal day for Banta City, but early in the morning, the people of the city felt that something was off.
"Newspapers are being sold!
Newspapers are being sold!
The new « Banta Times »!
Inside and outside the city, all the big and small news are in the « Banta Times »! "
A little boy who was around eleven or twelve years old was walking down the street while shouting this slogan.
Hearing his slogan, the people on the street all stopped and looked at the little boy with curious gazes.
"Hey, kid, what is the « Banta Times »?
What big and small news?
What does it do? "A large man who was closest to the little boy asked in a low voice.
The little boy wasn't nervous at all. He took out several sheets of newspaper from the cloth bag in front of his chest with a smile and handed it over.
"Look, this is the « Banta Times ». There are many things that happen in and outside Banta City recorded in it, are you interested in buying a copy to take a look?
It's very cheap, it only costs one silver coin per copy. "
"Let me take a look first before I decide if I want to buy it or not." The large man was prepared to grab it, but the little boy nimbly dodged it.
"This customer, the most important thing about this newspaper is the things recorded in it. If you finish reading it, I won't be able to sell it to you.
How about it?
As long as it costs one silver coin, you can read it as you wish. "
The burly man glared at the little boy, but under the watchful eyes of the people around him, he could only obediently take out a silver coin and toss it to the little boy. Then, he put on an arrogant expression and flipped open the newspaper to read.
Compared to the villages outside Banta City, the people of Banta City had a higher degree of education. This large man looked very vulgar, but he was still literate. When he opened the newspaper, he loudly read it.
"Front page headline, farmer support plan, good!
In the past few days, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce who had developed the small Magic Harvester and the small Magic Plowing Machine had announced that they would be starting a plan to support the normal farmers in Banta City. They wanted to help the normal farmers finish farming faster and after a month of experimentation, this plan had already achieved initial success.
The three villages outside Banta City including Ireland Village were the first test sites for this plan, so the farmers there have already enjoyed the benefits of this plan.
Regarding this plan, Banta City's City Lord Sean Samo, Lord Count Sean Samo has called it a good plan for the citizens and praised New Flyer for being a company with a conscience ….. "
Hearing the large man read this, the surrounding people began to discuss this.
"I've also heard of this farmer support plan, I have a relative who lives in Ireland Village. I've heard that there was a fellow in their village who rented a small Magic Plowing Machine from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and used three days to plough all the soil in Ireland Village. Moreover, he earned over four gold coins in three days with this thing."
"How did he earn that much?"
"It's very simple, he used the small Magic Plowing Machine to help people plough and he earned two silver coins per mu.
Ireland Village has over two hundred mu of farmland and it was all taken by him, so how much do you think he earned? "
"The people of Ireland Village all had him plough the soil, why didn't they do it themselves?"
"Are you stupid? If they plough the soil themselves, how long would it take to plough a mu of land?
They would be half dead from exhaustion.
If they had him help, it wouldn't even take ten minutes to plough a mu of land and it would only cost two silver coins, so why wouldn't they do it?
Can't they use the time and energy they save to do something else? "
"That's right ….. I've heard that the Lord City Lord has decided to fix the roads and New Flyer is hiring workers, so they are hiring workers all over the place. If they have the time to do this, they can earn more than two silver coins."
"That's right … …"
… …
Hearing the discussions of the surrounding people, the large man became even more proud and read even more energetically.
However, there were many people who didn't want to wait for him to keep reading. They came in front of the little boy and gave him a silver coin before picking up a copy to read.
After a while, the newspaper in front of the little boy's chest was snatched clean and there were many people who didn't get a copy at all.
Seeing everyone's disappointed expressions, the little boy put down his hand that was counting the silver coins and shouted with a smile, "There will be « Banta Times » delivered every day, so if everyone wants to buy it, please come early!"
