Blessed by abundance, be a Terran curse

Although Huang Cao's moral standards are generally high most of the time, when faced with some decisions that require him to make trade-offs... he will occasionally drop to the lowest point and treat everyone except his relatives as tools that he can manipulate.

"Leave the investigation to me. I will give them justice, if there is any justice at all..."

Kal'tsit, who was one of the links between Huangcao and Kazdel, arrived at the fertilizer factory the next morning.

And thanks to someone's permission, she can freely enter and exit various workshops in the factory.

But after searching for a whole day and asking the workers on the assembly line, she didn't find anything wrong.

In the end, Kal'tsit had to use money to pave the way. As expected, there must be brave men under a large sum of money.

"Actually, these guys originally worked in warehouse management, but were transferred to the assembly line after being caught stealing fertilizer."

"But these more than ten people were not content to stay put on the assembly line and continued to steal fertilizer, filling several large bags every day without worrying about burning their skin."

Kelsey asked doubtfully, "But why doesn't Your Highness know these things?"

"Your Highness certainly doesn't know, because the management is all from the aristocratic lords of Victoria. They naturally won't tell Your Highness about their actions."

Kal'tsit, having obtained a clue, left the production workshop, but the truth of the matter was definitely not that simple.

This cat knows his way around yellow grass, and this guy certainly isn't going to put these people to death over some fertilizer.

As mentioned above, although Huangcao sometimes has no bottom line, most of the time he is too lazy to care about these trivial matters.

No matter how much these people steal, they cannot affect the normal development of the factory.

Although the factory's daily fertilizer loss is relatively small, it is not something that these dozen people can steal.

So the problem can only occur during the period when these people work as warehouse managers.

After a busy day, Master Kai felt that he didn't want to play this boring game of house anymore, so he decided to call Huang Cao.

With this guy's intelligence, even if he really has some conspiracy, it is not something that His Highness and I can find out.

If it were really that easy to discover, Victoria's Aslan wouldn't have been left with only one bloodline so quickly.

There were no telephone lines in Kazdel. The only places with telephones besides the Garden of Eden were Banshee Valley and the fertilizer plant office.

With her identity as Mr. Huang's personal maid, Kal'tsit easily got the phone.

Late at night, Huang Cao was about to go to sleep with Huafalin in his arms, but the phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.

When I picked up the phone, I found that it was Kal'tsit on the other end of the line.

"Kai Cat, are you calling me so late at night to tell me a story to put me to sleep?"

"I'm very sorry, sir, I have to put my story on hold. Actually, I'm disturbing you so late at night. You wanted to ask me something..."

Kal'tsit poured out all the clues she had collected today and the questions she wanted to ask, then held the phone and waited quietly for the other party's answer.

After about two minutes, Huang Cao said to the phone:

"In the final analysis, the culprit who caused these bastards to lose their lives was actually Theresa. Who was responsible for her poor selection of people?"

Chapter 144: You must pay the price for employing people poorly.

Upon hearing this, Kal'tsit's expression instantly became serious.

After all, His Highness is not really that wise and brave, and he may make small mistakes occasionally.

But the face that needs to be maintained still needs to be maintained.

"So, what on earth did these dozen or so people do to make you so cruel as to deal with them all?"

Kal'tsit asked Huang Cao on the other end of the phone.

Huang Cao: "Originally, I didn't intend to hand over the management of the warehouse to Theresa, but since you've been my slave, I'm willing to hand over the management of the fertilizer factory's warehouse to you. It can be considered as adding a few more positions that pay the bills."

"Damn, it turns out these guys are dishonest. Stealing my fertilizer is one thing, after all, they can't possibly steal everything from the entire warehouse. I was willing to turn a blind eye for your sake, but these guys actually got their hands on my medicine, and that crossed my bottom line."

"Theresa probably hasn't told you about that. I originally planned to open a hospital here, and she thought it was a good idea, so she's been negotiating with my men."

Why did she want to set up a hospital? Of course, Lamaren wanted to bring some benefits to her compatriots, at least to provide some young children with a place to see a doctor.

This will not hinder Huangcao's plans for Kazdel, and he can even use this opportunity to increase his influence in certain areas.

So, being a good man, he naturally agreed.

It’s a pity that after discovering what these people were doing secretly, this hospital could no longer be opened.

Huang Cao doesn't want his hospital to be destroyed by Theresa. If an unprofessional person manages such a professional matter, there will really be problems.

"These people stole the raw materials I was going to use to make anesthetics for the hospital, intending to extract addictive drugs that would cause people to lose their minds. Although they were unsuccessful, after all, I had already removed the genes that secreted the addictive chemical components of these raw materials at the seed stage."

This is also the advantage of Fengzao Technology, which can directly remove certain unnecessary chemicals during the planting process.

So the thief Sarkaz who stole the raw materials from the fertilizer factory warehouse was not aware of this.

With the current level of chemical refining, anesthetics and analgesics in many countries contain some addictive ingredients to a greater or lesser extent.

Therefore, these more than ten scumbags set their sights on the raw materials used to make anesthetics, yellow grass.

These people have evil hearts from the beginning. They are not only bad but also stupid.

When they captured these people, the Warriors of Plenty also found various simple chemical refining equipment in the rooms of these Sarkaz.

Of course, since there are no addictive substances in the raw materials, these guys can't extract anything.

So, under Huang Cao's instruction, the Fengcao Warriors shot all these thieves and bad guys with no moral bottom line on the spot, and destroyed all the refining tools.

But I forgot to explain it to Theresa later.

This is also the reason why Huang Cao is not very willing to let Theresa's people overly participate in the management of the fertilizer factory.

Providing a job managing the warehouse was already a great favor to me, but I didn't expect that there would be problems in this link.

Kazdel is truly worthy of being a talented person in such a beautiful place. He can always come up with something special for Mr. Huang.

Huang Cao couldn't understand how these Sarkaz, who hadn't even read a book for a few days, knew the techniques of chemical refining.

Faced with Mr. Huang's questions, Kal'tsit didn't know what to say.

This is actually related to this cat. She was the commander-in-chief when the multinational coalition invaded Kazdel.

Due to the poor management level, a large-scale medicine warehouse was attacked by a group of mercenaries of unknown origin during the war.

This resulted in countless tons of medicines being lost, including painkillers and anesthetics.

If nothing unexpected happens, these drugs should have been scattered into the mercenary black market in various forms.

Although the country of Sarkaz lacks educated people, it has never lacked various kinds of hard work, not to mention the various strange Originium skills. Who knows what some bastards will figure out.

"The vast majority of Sarkaz are mercenaries. We can't expect them to have high moral standards."

Kal'tsit was speechless now. She couldn't possibly speak for these scumbags.

She also had to sigh that Huang Cao did a good job. These people deserved to die, and keeping them alive would only ruin His Highness's reputation.

In Kal'tsit's heart, Huangcao has his own persistence in certain things and has a bottom line in these aspects.

There were many times when he could have used even more immoral means to conquer a region or even a country, but he did not do so.

"So let that pink-haired Theresa carefully screen her subordinates. Don't tell me that after all this time, Kazdel doesn't even have a basic interpersonal relationship review department."

Kal'tsit didn't answer. Currently, Kazdel really didn't have a mechanism for reviewing interpersonal relationships.

We don't even know the exact population of our country.

Let’s put it this way, Kazdel’s population data was compiled by Victoria and other countries before the war.

Even the data we are using now is from decades ago.

As for employment, most mercenaries in chemical plants do simple and physically demanding work, with no entry requirements.

So naturally someone pushed the brother and sister in, since Boss Huang was there to take care of it.

This brother and sister are very good at solving the employment rate problem.

However, since this matter has been mentioned, Huang Cao will not let Theresa get away with it comfortably.

Do you really think I'm a pushover?

He had almost forgotten about this matter, but when Kal'tsit reminded him, he suddenly remembered that the employees in the factory were stealing fertilizer.

Do you really think these are the only people who stole things? And what about the raw materials that were stolen from me?

So just as Kal'tsit was about to hang up the phone, Huang Cao suddenly said:

"Don't hang up so quickly. I think Kazdel must compensate me for the losses I incurred on these people."

"Excuse me, Mr. Huang, how much is the loss of your factory?"

Huang Cao mentally counted all the employees in the factory except his own people.

It was discovered that during the decades of operation of the fertilizer factory, the value of the products stolen by these Sarkaz had reached 30,000 gold coins, including some office supplies and precious raw materials.

After all, according to the agreement with the cat, Huangcao is only responsible for sales and operations.

If the production of fertilizers was not sufficiently intelligent and fully automated, it would be unknown whether these Sarkaz, who graduated from prenatal education, could produce usable fertilizers.

"If you count the thefts from these ten people, the loss to my factory is over 40,000 gold coins!"

This number was undoubtedly too high, a full ten thousand higher, and Huang Cao also wanted to teach Theresa a lesson.

Kal'tsit was stunned after hearing this number, and immediately wanted to wonder if this was to settle the accounts.

But when Huang Cao said he could provide evidence, she had to believe it.

So he could only convey this news to Theresa, and then the pink-haired boy felt like the sky was falling and almost fainted from fright.

I originally wanted to ask for an explanation, but why was I the one who had to pay the money in the end?

Is this script a bit weird?

As the ruler of a country, if you cannot teach your subordinates well, don't blame others for teaching them a lesson for you. Of course, you must also pay the price for your mistakes.

145

Chapter 145 Your Highness, don’t embarrass yourself in front of Master Huang!

"Kelsey, I know you're the best and have great skills. Can you pay the fine later?"

Theresa sat on the bed in a duck-like posture, begging pitifully for mercy from the woman in front of her.

Forty thousand gold coins is not a small amount. The share that Huangcao's fertilizer factory gives to this pink-haired cat is only thirty thousand every year.

Based on the gold price before the time travel, the annual income is approximately close to 200 million.

This compensation amounted to nearly 300 million in cash, which was not something Theresa could not afford.

The fertilizer factory has been open for decades, and has provided the country with an income of about 300,000 gold coins on the surface alone.

Since there is no need for large-scale war preparations now, the money was used to make a significant comeback.

It also provides the country with more liquid funds.

It can be said that the share from the fertilizer plant single-handedly supports the entire finances of Kazdel.

Nearly half of the brother and sister's income comes from the share of the fertilizer factory. It has declined in recent years, but only to 45%.

As for the remaining income of about 60,000, it naturally came from tributes from the major royal courts and the sale of national resources.

That’s right, so far, the only taxes that this pink-haired brother and sister can collect are those around the capital.

It’s not that we can’t collect money from other places, but the main reason is that the people in other places are poor and their lives are already difficult. If we collect more money, I’m afraid they will really have no way to survive.

So, Theresa was really reluctant to accept the 40,000 gold coin penalty. It meant she would lose a whole year's income...

"I know Your Highness is particularly reluctant to let him go, but you can't let that noble lord be taken advantage of.

The fact that they came here with good intentions to help alleviate poverty is already a sign of great kindness. Even if their intentions are not entirely pure, at least they have changed the face of this country."

Kal'tsit was also helpless. Huang Cao had already said this much, and no matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't just turn a blind eye.

"Your Highness, if that noble lord coveted my beauty, I would offer my body to you without hesitation to redeem your loss. Unfortunately, this is impossible."

"The fault this time lies with us. Let's replace the people in the factory next month. They can't stay here any longer. If this drags on for decades, the compensation won't just be a few tens of thousands of gold coins."

Theresa breathed a sigh of relief. How could she not understand this? The next second after learning the truth, she was ready to pay the money.

But even if you are prepared, you will still feel heartache.
