Magic Industry Empire - 1239. Chapter 1239
The motorcycle racer did not speak, but his eyes revealed obvious dissatisfaction.
The faces of the young racing clan next to them and even their relatives also showed some obvious disapproval, and they obviously felt that Xu Yi’s question was a bit fussy.
Even the young couple who was nearly killed by Xu Yi was shocked. It seemed that Xu Yi would be so angry because of them.
Xu Yi sighed in his heart.
Although Sainz Continent has undergone a huge transformation because of his arrival, it has now developed a powerful and complete magic industry industry. In terms of living technology alone, it has even caught up with the earth’s level in many aspects.
But because of this, only the material has changed, but people’s spiritual concepts have not changed much.
Although slaves have been completely abandoned in various countries on the current Sainz continent, there are still extremely serious concepts of respect and inferiority.
Nobles are nobles, and common people are common people.
In the minds of almost everyone, nobles are much more noble than commoners, and their status is completely different.
These young men and women are obviously just ordinary children of common people, and the motorcycle racing clan who nearly killed them is a traditional noble family in Bangta City. The father standing next to him now has the title of Viscount, even himself. Also because he was positioned as the heir to the family early, he had a baronial title.
Therefore, in the minds of everyone present except Xu Yi, the identities of the two sides are different. Even if the civilian men and women are really killed, it is not a big deal in their minds.
If it weren’t for Xu Yi, I’m afraid they don’t even need to pay for it.
What made Xu Yi feel even more sad was that the young commoner couple thought so too.
“Chairman Xu, he is also unintentional. He certainly doesn’t want to bump into people, right.” Earl Vigor quickly eased the atmosphere and said with a smile: “Fortunately, you have appeared on Chairman Xu and saved their lives. , So… you don’t need to be too harsh, right?”
“Excuse me?” Xu Yi snorted coldly, glanced at the motorcycle racer with a cold face, turned his head and said to Vig Amber: “I am not an official of your Lampari Kingdom, and I don’t even belong to the Lampari Kingdom at all, so What you decide to do with this matter is your business, it has nothing to do with me, and I can’t control it. But in this matter, I can control the things related to our new flying business association.”
Earl Vigor hurriedly continued: “Chairman Xu, please make it clear.”
Xu Yi pointed at the unconvinced motorcycle racing clan, and suddenly asked, “Do you have a driver’s license?”
Everyone was stunned and looked at the racing clan together.
The face of the motorcycle racer changed slightly, and he hesitated to answer.
The parents standing beside him suddenly became anxious.
“President Xu is asking you something, please answer quickly!”
The motorcycle racer hesitated, opened his mouth, and just said the word “I”, but Xu Yi coldly interrupted it.
“Don’t try to lie. Anyone who has officially passed the driver’s license has a record. I can find it at any time.”
The face of the racing clan changed drastically this time, and after a while, he bowed his head slumped.
“I do not have……”
Everyone around was shocked.
“Very well, then you are driving without a license. And because you drive at a super-high speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour on city streets at night, you have violated many driving license regulations. According to the regulations, I can now drive. It is judged that you will not be eligible to apply for a driver’s license for life, let alone continue to drive a magic locomotive. Do you have any objections?”
Unlike the faces of several motorcyclists who changed drastically, such as a mourning test, a group of relatives breathed a sigh of relief.
If Xu Yi’s punishment was just that, it would be too minor.
If you don’t have a driver’s license, you can’t. Who says you can’t continue driving without a driver’s license?
As long as it is not unlucky enough to be caught by Xu Yi again, then with the status of their families, driving without a license in Bangta City is not a big deal at all.
Xu Yi couldn’t see the thoughts in the minds of these guys. He snorted and pointed to the young couple and said: “In addition, you almost killed them just now, although my presence made them safe, but Necessary compensation is still needed.”
The parents of the motorcycle racing clan didn’t understand Xu Yi’s meaning, and they hurriedly moved to the young couple with an enthusiastic appearance.
The young couple never thought that there would be a Viscount-sama so low-pitched towards a commoner like himself, and for a while, he was a little overwhelmed. In the end, Xu Yi motioned to Earl Vigean to come forward and drafted a compensation amount of three thousand gold coins.
Three thousand gold coins can be said to be a large sum for this young civilian couple, but for an aristocratic family who can afford to drive the latest magic sports car, of course it is not a big deal.
So when the two sides negotiated and finally got Xu Yi’s approval, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The appearance of Xu Yi made everyone think that this matter would be a big deal, but they did not expect that the problem would be solved in the end with a trivial amount of three thousand gold coins, which was far beyond their expectations.
But when they were gratefully preparing to leave, Xu Yi suddenly issued a warning.
“Don’t try to retaliate privately, I will let someone follow up on this. If something happens to them afterwards, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Xu Yi’s cold words surprised everyone. The parents of the motorcycle racer quickly assured Xu Yi that they would never go to trouble the young couple in private in the future. Xu Yi just let it go. They go.
After everyone had left, calm was restored in the hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Earl Vigean looked at Xu Yi, who took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and wondered what he was thinking.
Although he did not have the opportunity to have close contact and cooperation with Xu Yi many times like the previous Bangta City Lords, but through various aspects of intelligence, Xu Ye has never been a particularly good talker.
You know, even if the Candela Empire offended him, it paid a heavy price for it.
And now these ignorant boys directly ran into him, and even two boys yelled at him, but in the end he only gave such a painless punishment, which is really puzzling.
“Earl Vigean.” Xu Yi said suddenly.
Count Vigean was taken aback, and quickly calmed his mind, and said with a smile: “President Xu, do you have any more orders?”
“I heard that there were two worker riots in Bangta City last month?” Xu Yi asked.
Count Vigyan was shocked, thought for a while, nodded and replied: “Yes. Where did you know the news, President Xu?”
“What is the reason for the riot?” Xu Yi did not answer the question.
“This…that is, the workers are not satisfied with their wages, so they chose a collective strike, and then clashed with the factory. It would be too much to say that it was a riot.”
“Then how did you deal with it in the end?”
Earl Vigean frowned slightly, wondering why Xu Yi suddenly asked these questions.
But he knew very well that since Xu Yi asked about these things, he must have learned a lot about it, and it is meaningless to conceal things. I caught it, but I didn’t do anything else.”
“Really? But how did I hear that the leading workers died in prison?” Xu Yi’s tone suddenly became gloomy.
Earl Vigor was shocked, how did Xu Yi even know this?
“This… the worker leaders started fighting in the prison, fighting with each other to death…”
At this time, Earl Vigean could only tell the answer that he had thrown to the newspaper before.
“Really? You also reported this to Queen Severini?” Xu Yi asked again.
“It is indeed reported that way.”
“How did the queen respond?”
“Your Majesty hopes that I can maintain order in Bangta City. I don’t want to see similar incidents happen again.”
“That’s it…” Xu Yi nodded and fell silent again.
Count Vigan looked at Xu Yi nervously, wondering why he suddenly asked these questions.
When facing Xu Yi, he was even more nervous than facing Her Majesty Queen Sevigny.
Because he knows very well that Her Majesty the Queen still needs him to manage Bangta City. As long as he doesn’t make any serious mistakes, for the sake of his family, Her Majesty will not take him any way.
But Xu in front of him is different.
As long as Xu Yi was willing, he could give an order in one sentence to destroy most of the current magic industry in Bangta City through the New Flying Merchants Association.
And if the magic industry is destroyed, Bangta City is not much different from being destroyed. Naturally, he, the city lord, can only be destroyed along with it.
Others may not do this kind of thankless, and it can even be said that both sides will hurt, but Xu Yi has always been evaluated as a madman by many people. There have been countless crazy ideas and practices. No one can be sure whether he will do it or not. This kind of thing.
After a while, Xu Yi spoke again.
“Earl Vigian, you just said that the workers were not satisfied with their wages, so they chose to strike collectively. Then I would like to ask how low the wages in Bonta are now, that would allow the workers to choose to strike. Or even a direct conflict with the factory?”
Count Vigan immediately said with a serious face: “According to the instructions of Her Majesty the Queen, and in accordance with the regulations of the Kingdom Council, Bangta City made a minimum salary last year based on the actual situation. No matter what type of work, the minimum wage must not be lower every month. At eight gold coins. I think… no chamber of commerce in Bangta would violate this rule.”
“Oh?” There was a hint of sarcasm in the smile on Xu Yi’s face.
Eight gold coins per month are not a high income for Bangta City, where prices have soared and living standards have continued to improve over the years, but it can indeed maintain an ordinary family’s daily life.
If the workers in Bangta City can get such wages, it would be incomprehensible to choose to strike or even directly conflict with the factory.
But Xu also knows very well that the capitalists on Sainz Continent will not be fundamentally different from those on the earth, and they are even more cruel than the capitalists on the earth.
It is said that it is a minimum of eight gold coins per month, which is just a number that stays on the surface.
In fact, according to the information obtained by Xu Yi, many chambers of commerce and factories in Bangta City now deduct under various names. In the end, the actual wages of the workers are less than half of the agreed wages, far less than eight. gold.
Moreover, the working hours of many chambers of commerce factories have increased significantly, and the intensity has also increased, making many workers feel overwhelmed.
That is to say, it was only under this situation that it led to two successive worker riots in Bangta City.
As the Lord of Bonta City, Earl Vigyan cannot be aware of these circumstances, but he obviously has a deep connection with the nobles and merchants in Bonta City, so naturally he will not get these things out.
“Earl Vigor, I’ll give you a piece of advice.” Xu Yi said, slowly getting up.
Count Vigyan stood up, wondering in his heart.
“Chairman Xu, please make it clear.”
“Don’t underestimate the power of the working class. In addition, I will also convey my words to Her Majesty the Queen for me.”
After leaving these words, Xu Yi left the city lord’s mansion straight away, leaving Count Vigan there in a daze.
