Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 130 Stimulating Their Talents
Adrian couldn't help but sigh when he said this.

For a small border lord like him, he originally had no chance to participate in the game of power in the center of the kingdom, but the royal descendants ran to the western forest and involved this guy with almost zero political sensitivity.

It feels dangerous!
See, this attack by the Frost Giants is a warning.

As long as the imposter, ugh, as long as the queen is still in the western forest, he can't stay out of it. Ugumantai's subordinates, the Knights of the Temple of the Holy See of Light, will definitely come in the future, and there will be more and more, until the queen falls or Ugumantai falls.

"I want to move! I really want to move!" Adrian held his head and shouted, "I really want to move."

"Don't even think about it!" Zhang Jingyi patted his shoulder armor. "Commoners can move whenever they want, but you are a lord. You have to stay where your fiefdom is. You don't have the freedom of commoners."

Adrian: “…”

Heartbroken!
"Work hard on construction and make more money. If you have more money, you might have some say in the government." Zhang Jingyi: "If you spend some money, maybe you can get promoted?"

Adrian perked up: "Hey? Mr. Zhang makes sense!"

At this time, the Knights Temple had already walked far away, the werewolves who had been hiding came out, and the hidden sleds were also pushed out.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "Okay, we should continue to study the problem of stone excavation. I don't live here all the time, so I can't manage the workers. It's not a good idea for me to do this job. How about Mr. Adrian do it?"

Adrian: “I do?”

Zhang Jingyi nodded and said, "You set up a 'quarry', you pay the workers to dig the stones, and I only pay to buy the stones from you. In this way, you can make money, and I can save the trouble of management, isn't it wonderful?"

Adrian thought about it carefully: This is a good way! I can make a lot of money from it.

The border was poor, and he, as a lord, couldn't make much money. If he could make some money in this way, it would be great.

The only thing he was worried about was that if he spent money to hire workers to dig out the stones, but Zhang Jingyi didn't come to collect the stones, wouldn't he be at a loss?
Just as he was thinking about this, he saw Zhang Jingyi take out a can of pepper from the sled, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Here, I'll pay the 100,000 kilograms of stone in advance."

Adrian opened the jar and smelled the fragrant pepper powder. He was delighted: A jar full of pepper powder, my God! This is like a jar full of gold.

You actually used so much gold to buy 100,000 kilograms of stone?
Is he crazy?

No, no, no, he is definitely not crazy! A crazy person wouldn't be that rich.

I must be stupid! I can't understand the value of these stones.

But why bother to understand?

As long as I feel I’ve made a profit, that’s enough!

Adrian stretched out his hand and shook hands tightly with Zhang Jingyi: "Mr. Zhang, I have opened the quarry. I will accept the can of pepper powder you paid in advance. When you come to haul the stones in a few days, I promise that I will give you more and not less."

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "Don't treat the workers harshly anymore. Pay them the full wages they deserve."

Adrian chuckled: "The townspeople are very idle in the winter, and it's not easy to make some money. I just give them a little money and they will work hard."

Zhang Jingyi: "If you think like this, the efficiency of the quarry will definitely not improve, and you will not be able to make money."

Adrian: “?” Zhang Jingyi said: “Have you forgotten the human race’s talent [selfishness]? When making money for yourself, the work efficiency is +100%, and when making money for others, the work efficiency is -50%. If you just give them a little money and send them off, then that means you are making money for others, and the workers will be lazy.”

Adrian: "Huh? What should I do then?"

Zhang Jingyi smiled: "You have to make them feel that they are making money for themselves. I recommend that you implement a 'piece-rate wage' system."

Adrian: “???”

Zhang Jingyi said: "Pay wages according to the amount of beautiful stones dug. Those who dig more will be paid more, and those who dig less will be paid less... You can put a few large baskets at the entrance of the quarry, and the workers can put the stones they dig into the baskets every day. Every time a basket is full, they will be paid. They will feel that I am making money for myself by digging stones. The more I dig, the more I earn. I will try to fill more baskets. In this way, the [Self-interest] talent will stimulate a positive effect."

Adrian suddenly woke up: "Shit! Mr. Zhang, you are a genius."

Only then did he understand why Zhang Jingyi could easily take out a can of pepper powder and take out the magic treasure "Eternal Fire" weighing hundreds of thousands of kilograms. He was indeed an extremely smart person. Only smart people can make a lot of money. Any idea could make his mind go wild.

I seem to be getting rich. Adrian thought: Although I am not smart, I seem to have clung to the thighs of smart people.

Okay, work hard to make money and use the money to buy a title!

Try to leave this broken border as soon as possible!
Adrian hurried to recruit workers. Winter was indeed a good season for recruiting workers.

In a short time, nearly 200 workers were recruited.

He announced the wage payment rule to the workers: "The more you dig, the more you earn." As soon as he finished speaking, the workers rushed out of the town and headed for the Stone Mountain...

After all, the workers used to live in a semi-slave and semi-feudal society.

Suddenly, I heard about "piece-rate wages", and my imagination went wild. My self-interest talent was aroused on the spot, and we rushed forward faster than each other.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "Okay, I should go too. See you next time we trade."

Adrian: "You are welcome to come and trade again next time... To be honest, the food sent by the wolves is really a great help. Without your help, it would not be easy for us to survive this winter."

"Help each other!" Zhang Jingyi: "Doing business is about helping each other."

The sled team set off...

Zhang Jingyi led the wolves and drove deep into the forest.

Adrian cheered himself up and quickly went to refine the operating procedures of his "quarry".

At the same time, Glass was leading the Knights Templar towards the Sunshine City in the east.

He played with the hard plastic and aluminum cases in his hands, frowning as he said, "I always feel that Adrian is not telling the truth. He must have seen the battle between the frost giants and the enemy. He also knows what these strange things are, but he refuses to say."

The knight next to him whispered, "Catch him and force him to confess?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Glass: "Although he is inconspicuous and just a marginal lord, he has the title of baron and is considered to be Ugumantai's man. A while ago, he was desperately helping Ugumantai to hunt down the impostor. If we arrest a baron for no reason and force a confession, it will only cause Ugumantai's displeasure. Although Ugumantai and the Holy See have a cooperative relationship, they are also wary of each other's power."
