Warhammer: Starting with Industrial Revolution

Chapter 135: We can't just make empty promises; we have to give people something in return.

Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

With intense training, a scientifically balanced diet, and sufficient rest, the fighting ability of these ten teenagers has grown significantly.

Of course, the effects of various enhancement potions also played a significant role.

Luo Ning gave them a monthly leave to visit their families.

Of course, his children had been promoted to Ronning's personal guard, and their families no longer had to work as miners and slaves.

As the saying goes, a father's status rises with his son's. Although they still live in the Lower Nest District, their lives have undergone earth-shattering changes.

The same was true for the girls' families when Hana first returned home accompanied by Ronin.

Seeing that her parents were no longer haggard and destitute, and that her grandfather, who was seriously ill and on the verge of death, had received proper medical treatment.

Hana's gaze toward Ronin was filled with nothing but gratitude and dependence.

The changes here extend far beyond these families.

Since Ronin initiated reforms in the mining area, the nobles and former slave owners were initially skeptical of it all.

Although they obeyed Luo Ning's plan and did not cause trouble, they temporarily believed in the policies and preferential treatment that Luo Ning had promised them.

But in essence, they are mostly in a state of indifference and observation.

However, the tangible changes experienced by the working class forced these conservative nobles to bow their heads and admit that their previous management methods were indeed outdated and backward.

These workers living at the bottom of society are extremely easy to satisfy. As long as they are not whipped every day for trivial matters, they are grateful. As long as they receive food rations in a timely manner, they are extremely content.

These were things they deserved, but it wasn't until Luo Ning personally intervened that the workers here received the treatment they were entitled to.

The fact that the workers could complete tasks beyond their initial targets with their own hands and receive extra rewards was an unbelievable change for them, giving these former slaves of laborers a profound and transformative motivation to work.

As for the foremen and supervisors, Luo Ning made a point of taking time to talk to them as much as possible.

With improved treatment and the implementation of new regulations, these managers, who were used to mistreating miners, were initially very uncomfortable.

But seeing that Luo Ning always kept his word and was fair in rewarding and punishing, they gradually curbed their hostility and their behavior changed completely.

As for interplanetary trade, it has undergone a complete transformation in the past two months.

Led by Lillian, Daphne, and Jasmine, and with the help of the girls led by Hanna that Ronin arranged for them, they have completely taken over the nobles' business channels.

On the surface, it is said that the girls are merely assistants to the nobles, managing the resources in their hands and greatly reducing their workload.

In reality, the knowledge the three girls learned from Milley was more than enough to deal with these old guys.

In a short period of time, the nobles had completely sidelined them, and the nobles had firmly taken control of the planet's trade.

As for the production workshop, it had long been controlled by the mechanical priests under Victor's command.

Those nobles might disregard the governor's office and dare to challenge the army, yet they held a deep-seated reverence for the Mechanicus.

Victor, on the other hand, handed over the takeover and supervision of the factory entirely to Father Lucizer, who would lead the mechanical priests on the planet to control the operation of the entire planet's factories.

Father Lucizer was precisely the type of mechanical church priest that those noble gentlemen feared most:

He's almost always in the factory, always expressionless. No matter what you talk to him about, he acts like a robot. But if anything involves the factory, he'll shut you down with an incredibly cold attitude.

No matter how noble you were in the past, you are no different in front of him, and he shows no mercy whatsoever.

Over time, the nobles no longer dared to come knocking on their door and invite trouble.

Since they receive more dividends now than before and have fewer worries, they simply lie back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

The development of the Greenskin Hunters Guild completely slapped all the nobles in the face.

Ronin treated the registered hunters of the Hunter Guild far better than the middle-level factory workers.

The nobles asserted that the establishment of the Hunter's Guild would inevitably become a malignant tumor on the planet, completely crippling the production capacity of the mines and factories.

Luo Ning simply laughed it off and ignored it.

After the Hunter's Guild was officially established, and the first batch of registered hunters actually went deep into the mines to bring back the heads of the green-skinned monsters, and used their hunter points to exchange for a large amount of food, a huge number of workers joined the ranks of hunting green-skinned monsters in the mines.

In an instant, countless workers left their posts and joined the hunt, and everything unfolded just as the nobles had predicted.

However, what happened next completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

After the weak and feeble green-skinned boys were slaughtered by the swarming workers, the enemies deep in the mine were no longer something that the workers could easily deal with.

Soon, the workers who had suffered heavy casualties woke up.

The Hunter's Guild is never an easy way to make money; it's a truly high-risk profession, only suitable for desperate, ruthless individuals willing to risk their lives.

After realizing the reality, many workers returned to the mine factory, leaving only the most elite and strongest workers, who formed their own crusades and continued to live a life of constant danger.

Even so, the depths of the mine are still inhabited by a large number of green-skinned monsters that are difficult for ordinary people to defeat.

However, the intelligence sent back by the hunters has created a complete map of the underground mines for the hive, with all the strongholds of the powerful aliens precisely marked.

The once intricate and perilous underground world has finally become clear and transparent.

Today, Luo Ning led his ten personal guards into the mine for the first time, beginning their first real combat experience.

"How are you feeling? Are you nervous?"

Standing in front of the mine, Luo Ning looked at the group of fine young men before him. They were all completely different now, each one a top-notch expert.

Based on each of their characteristics, Luo Ning selected their respective fighting styles and customized weapons.

Although still somewhat immature, they have already begun to take the shape of an elite team.

"Master, do you think we can do it?"

Finch was more muscular than before, and his face carried a terrifyingly stern expression, but in front of Ronin, he was still that shy and honest boy.

Luo Ning never intended to erase their nature.

In his view, the empire's methods of suppressing emotions and brainwashing and domesticating were fundamentally wrong.

Everyone should have their own personality and weaknesses; that's what makes a living person.

What he wanted was never a soulless killing machine.

Luo Ning patted Finch on the shoulder, his smile gentle yet confident: "Whether it works or not, we'll find out once we go in and try. But I believe you will not let me down."
