Rebirth of the Viking King

After the lively "marriage" ended, Duke Bernard led his men to leave Hanshui Village.

In the afternoon of the same day, Loki counted the troops and set off for Foggy Duck Town. In the past few days, nearly a thousand people have been crowded into the narrow Hanshui Village. This narrow fishing village is almost overcrowded.

He urgently needed to transport the excess population to Foggy Duck Town, and at the same time take a look at his territory for himself.

Duke Bernard is a clever man. At the wedding, he made it clear that the city belonged to his daughter Yuna. So Yuna is also in the team. Since early this morning, she has been complaining about the dilapidation here and the shabbyness of Hanshui Village.

Loki, who couldn't afford to offend this living Buddha for the time being, was thinking of sending her to the Blackstone Castle in Mistduck Town as soon as possible, lest he lose control of his anger one day and chop her to death by mistake.

Walking on the official road, the breath of early spring is already rushing towards you. The temperature on the peninsula rose to around 10 degrees. After the sun rises, it melts the ice and snow accumulated on the mountain peaks, and the river is filled with broken ice that fell from the upper reaches.

New shoots are growing vigorously on the branches of shrubs that have been dry for several months. As for the various animals in the vast forest, they are also walking out of their nests due to hunger.

Two days later, the group arrived at Wuya Town among the mountains.

This is the first time Loki has set foot on the land of Mistduck Town. After arriving in this town, he discovered that Wuya Town was not much bigger than Hanshui Village. With Blackstone Castle as the center, there are about a hundred households inside and outside the city, and the entire town can accommodate about 600 people.

Blackstone Castle is a stone castle with an area of ​​about 2,000 square meters. From a pure appearance point of view, it is indeed much more luxurious than the wooden castle in Hanshui Village. The stone used to build this castle came from black stone quarried in the mountains not far away. This stone contains a large amount of iron and nickel minerals, so it presents a jet black color similar to meteorites.

It was still very cold in the castle in early spring. While walking there, Loki discovered that when the Blood Dove Town cavalry invaded Foggy Duck Town, they had destroyed most of the furniture and looted all the valuables in the castle.

But Miss Yuna didn't mind.

"Anyway, they are all tattered toys that country bumpkins are used to. Even if these things are placed here intact, I will throw them all away and replace them with the latest models from the Eastern Tang Dynasty. As long as this castle is mine Enough."

"As for you, country bumpkin! You can't step into this castle without my message, you know! The gold and silver in my dowry is enough for me to spend my whole life, and you don't want to buy me with gold and silver to let me serve you! "

"Haha, I understand. Don't worry, you won't see me!" Loki giggled. This "widowed marriage" originally made him very satisfied. When he heard that this eldest lady didn't even spend his own money, he really wanted to sing a sacred praise to God.

This is really a "little angel" sent by God!

Following Miss Yuna into Blackstone Castle were more than 20 chefs, 50 "bodyguards", more than 30 maids, 20 horses and two housekeepers. Loki can actually feel that my eldest lady is not very popular with Duke Bernard. However, for such an unpopular figure in the family, she still married like this.

A provincial duke among the Vikings was truly wealthy.

After settling the "lady", Loki no longer cares about him. What he really cares about are the two pillar industries of Wuya Town. Logging base, and oil mill. These two economic buildings are the most important assets he gained this time.

At this time, Hanshui Village was full of Duke Bernard’s spies. If you want to go out to sea to plunder, there must be the Duke's spy on the ship, and this requires paying a large amount of tax to this respected "father-in-law".

But originating from the peninsula, all production income within its own territory belongs to itself. You don’t have to give even a penny to anyone else.

In his eyes, the logging base and oil refinery in Wuya Town were two treasure troves.

After going to England once and experiencing a brutal battle, Loki understood a truth: if you run away, you will pay back sooner or later.

In this world, you are never allowed to chop others, but others are not allowed to chop you. Powerful countries entrenched on various continents, powerful warriors of different skin colors are killing them endlessly. Not every raid is guaranteed to bring back stable profits.

It is common for a group of pirates to break down and lose all their money. At this time, the production facilities within the village are fault tolerance and the guarantee for surviving the cruel winter.

The logging base is located in the mountains, about an hour's walk from Wuya Town.

Rough and strong men like the Vikings all know the truth that "rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests." The tall coniferous forests around the villages and towns are all old trees that are more than a hundred years old, and the wood used for felling is in the mountains.

The Gonk family has ruled Wuya Town for 10 years. They have divided 20 forest areas and cut down one forest every year, with a cycle of 20 years. Because the growth cycle of coniferous trees is about 20 years.

As for why this method of logging is adopted?

This is not because the Viking pirates in the 8th century AD understood sustainable development, but because the Slavic slaves could not cut down the centuries-old or even thousand-year-old trees deeper in the mountains.

Only these "young trees" with a growth cycle of about 20 years can be easily cut and loaded onto trucks by Slavic loggers. The diameter of the wood is generally around 50-80 centimeters, which is also in line with the daily construction needs of the Vikings.

In addition to logging, another production method in Wuya Town is to collect pine oil rolling off the trees, boil it at low temperature to evaporate the water vapor in the pine oil, and then mix it with oil from the underground of the "Long's Breath Plateau" in a certain proportion. , made into fuel that can be easily ignited.

The oil workshop is also outside the village, because boiling this stuff produces a strong smell.

Lao Gonker gave full play to the true meaning of the four words "depending on the mountain and eating the mountain". Relying on a lumberyard, an oil refinery and more than a hundred Slavic slave workers, he eventually trained 200 professional Viking warriors.

Although Wuya Town's industry is not on the table compared to the seaside salt farm of "Blood Pigeon Town", it is much better than Hanshui Village, which can only rely on pickled herring.

Fuel and wood were necessities for the Vikings, especially wood. Vikings built ships and houses, all of which relied on wood.

There are nearly 500 Slavic men and women stationed in Foggy Duck Town this time. In other words, all the Slavic slaves in Hanshui Village and Duke Bernard’s gift to Loki are here.

After settling in, Loki called everyone to the square in front of Blackstone Castle and held the first meeting of the new leader of Foggy Duck Town.

"I know you used to work under the whip of the Gonk family, but today I want to change that!"

"First of all, from this moment on, you will no longer work for the lord. Instead, you will work for yourself, your wife, and your children to have a better life!"

“I declare the following law.”

1. All workers participating in the work establishment will receive "three insurances and one fund"!

Three insurances, the first is pension insurance!

Workers who join the "Wuya Town Production Brigade" with more than 30 years of service can receive a pension insurance! This insurance means that in 30 years, when you are over 50 years old, you can still get a stable income even if you lie at home every day without going to work!

Hearing this sentence, all the workers present were in an uproar. For Slavic slave laborers, losing the ability to work often meant losing all value. In this case, they only have a dead end.

They have never even heard of this benefit called pension insurance.

The second insurance is called unemployment insurance!

If a worker in the factory suffers any work-related injury and loses the ability to work, the "Wuya Town Production Brigade" will provide you with medical services, and will still give you a stable income even after you lose the ability to work!

The third level of insurance is called medical education insurance!

All current employees of the "Wuya Town Production Brigade", themselves and their families, will have unconditional access to education and medical services! No matter how many wives or children you have, the whole family will benefit!

The last “one fund” is called housing provident fund.

Well, you don't understand this word now, it doesn't matter, listen to me and explain it to you carefully.

From now on, the house you live in can be purchased from the "Wuya Town Production Brigade" in your own hands! After you buy a house, you will always own the property and the land where the house is located!

As long as the property rights are in hand, your descendants and descendants of your descendants will always have the right to live in this house. No one has the right to take your private property away from you.

As long as you join the "Wuya Town Production Brigade", in addition to the fixed income every month, you will also receive an additional "housing and land provident fund" that can only be used to purchase houses or land!

This amount of money will help you buy your own property faster and settle down as soon as possible. As for the worker brothers who have already bought houses, new farmland and forest farms will be opened up in Wuya Town! In addition to houses, you can also use this money to buy your own land.

These farmlands and forest farms will also belong to your descendants forever!
