The hot days are still continuing, and in a blink of an eye it has arrived mid-August.

On this day, several workshops of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were filled with joy, and almost everyone's face was filled with smiles from the inside.

As for the reason? It’s very simple, because today is the day to pay.

According to the rules set by Xu Yi when he founded the factory, the fifteenth day of each month is a fixed payday. This time, the factory has just been established for a month, and it is the first time that the salary is paid seriously. It is naturally particularly formal and even more grand.

Sebas arrived at the factory early and handed over his financial status last month to Xu Yi and Haiyince for a look.

Xu Yi has always believed that he would not doubt the employer and would not doubt him. He only scanned the financial statements briefly and did not care much about it. However, Heince carefully reviewed it from beginning to end several times, and almost any number must be verified in Sebass before he could be let go.

Xu Yi was a little helpless about Haiyince's behavior, but he did not object to it.

As the third largest shareholder in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce after him and Viscount Leslie, Heince has enough qualifications and reasons to do so. Moreover, with him supervising and inspecting him for him, Xu Yi saved a lot of energy.

The nervous and excited morning passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was noon. All the employees in the two production workshops gathered together and began to line up to get their own salary one by one.

The first one to step forward was the dwarf Cambi.

As the workshop director of the Magic Machine Tool Production Research Workshop, Camby's salary is of course more than other dwarves, and is about the same level as Heinze, and is tentatively set to be twenty gold coins per month.

The next step forward is Alex.

As Heinzer's assistant, Alex's salary is ten gold coins, which is slightly more than that of ordinary workers.

Then there are other dwarves except Cambi.

Aside from the dwarves who were affected by trivial matters or illness, each of the remaining dwarves received a full monthly salary of eight gold coins.

When they opened the purse handed over by Sebas and found that there were eight gold coins inside, the dwarves were all smiling, and some dwarves even danced on the spot with excitement.

As Master Lanu lamented, the dwarves' lives are very difficult at present. Although these dwarves were not hungry when they lived in the tribe, they were very poor except for fine wine because they could be brewed and enjoyed by themselves.

After coming to this factory to start working, not only did the factory handle their food and accommodation, so that they did not have to worry about their lives at all, but now they can get a full eight gold coins every month!

Although eight gold coins are not particularly large, they can buy a lot of urgently needed supplies. If they take them back to the tribe, it will be enough to make their parents, wife and children's lives better.

Thinking of the happy smiling faces of their family after getting those things, these straight dwarves were filled with happiness.

Thinking about the fact that this kind of life can only be enjoyed after joining this factory, the dwarves' eyes when they look at Xu Yi are even more grateful and respectful.

Compared with the dwarves, the students hired from Baron Riktor Magic Academy have paid a little lower salary, only five to six gold coins.

The reason for this salary is that they are still students, so their daily working hours are limited, which is naturally not as good as the dwarfs who work in the magic machine workshop every day.

Second, because their work is simply to draw magic circles. Although it is related to magic, it is just a simple repetitive work. The technical content is not high, and naturally the salary is not much higher.

Xu Yi was initially worried that these students would feel unbalanced when they saw that other people’s salary was higher than themselves, but after getting the salary, they all showed extremely happy appearances without any dissatisfaction.

Even Oulin, a kid from an aristocratic family, smiled with his salary of only six gold coins, as if it was not six gold coins, but six hundred gold coins.

Xu Yi thought about it and couldn't help laughing.

In fact, the students' reaction was correct. After all, they were just students who were still studying in the college. Being able to get a salary through their own labor was enough to surprise them.

What's more, five or six gold coins are actually quite a lot for them. You should know that the tuition fee for Baron Riktor Magic Academy in one semester is only twenty-five gold coins.

This means that as long as they persist, these students can even rely entirely on their own efforts to bear the tuition fees.

For most of these students who are still children from ordinary or even poor families, it will reduce the burden on their families. I believe that their parents will be very satisfied with this after they find out.

After paying the salary to the students, there were actually some workers who did not pay the salary, that was the one hundred slaves.

However, the salary payment of these hundred slaves really troubled Xu Yi for a while.

According to general principles, since these slaves have worked in factories, they should be paid for their own salary. However, slaves are slaves after all. Even if Xu Yi is unwilling to accept this fact, he has to admit that slaves have no status on the Continent of Sines. Under normal circumstances, no one would agree to pay slaves too.

The more important reason is that the current ownership of these slaves is still in the hands of Viscount Leslie, and Xu Yi is just borrowing it.

Even if Xu Yi gave them salary, he should have to pay Viscount Leslie. As for whether Viscount Leslie is willing to send it to these slaves, it depends on whether he is happy.

So Xu Yi and Heinze discussed for a long time in front of Sebass, and finally decided not to give the slaves money, but instead to issue welfare subsidies.

Given that it is still in the hot summer, Xu Yi distributed a second-generation variable speed magic fan to each slave, and each person also issued a garment coupon from the Metagen tailor shop in Bonta City. With this garment coupon, these slaves can customize a set of clothes at the Metagen tailor shop, with a total price of no more than one gold coin.

In addition, there are some meat fruits and some messy daily necessities.

If all the welfare subsidies are added up, they are worth about four gold coins.

According to Xu Yi's actual idea, the value of the work of these slaves should have a monthly salary of at least six gold coins, so the welfare subsidy should be more, but this idea was stopped by Heince.

No matter what, these slaves still belong to Viscount Leslie. If Xu Yi gave them too many benefits, Viscount Leslie would inevitably have some special thoughts in his mind.

Even if it is just these very simple welfare subsidies in Xu Yi's opinion, it is actually quite a taboo thing.

These slaves watched the dwarves and the students receive their salaries. Although they were very envious, they knew that as their slaves, it was impossible to get paid like them. So they just watched honestly without any expression.

In fact, they are already very satisfied with their current life.

Since they came to this factory, they will not only not be scolded or beaten again every day, but also enjoy three sumptuous meals normally, and they don’t even need to worry about being hungry.

Although there are work to be done every day, these tasks are much simpler and easier than the heavy work under Viscount Leslie.

What's more, the work time is only eight hours a day, and there is no extra work left to them.

Even when Xu Yi asked them to help last time because of the lack of manpower in the road construction, each slave sent an extra pound of meat as compensation.

It can be said that the current life was only dreamed of when these slaves dreamed before, and they never thought that they could live such a comfortable and comfortable life one day.

If possible, they really want Viscount Leslie to sell himself to Xu Yi.

Following this master's name is probably the best destination in the hearts of every slave.

So when Sebas announced that these slaves would come up to receive welfare subsidies, the slaves were all stunned.

Welfare subsidy? What is that? Is it for us?

It was not until Sebas raised his voice and repeated it and called a slave's name that the slaves confirmed that they had heard it correctly.

The named slave came to Sebas tremblingly, and Heinzer smiled and stuffed a magic fan, clothes coupon, and other welfare subsidies into his hands.

The slave stared at the thing in his hand for a while, and suddenly opened his mouth and burst into laughter. However, his eyes couldn't help but leave two lines of tears, sobbing, and for a moment he didn't know how to express it.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh slightly.

This damn slavery should have been eliminated sooner.

After finally distributing the welfare subsidies for one hundred slaves, Xu Yi announced loudly that the holiday was scheduled to be held this afternoon, which immediately caused another thunderous excitement.

Now that the salary is in hand, no matter the dwarves or the students present, who were not there, wanted to go out to show off, of course, they were a little unbearable.

Xu Yi announced the holiday at this time, and he was simply aiming at their itchy spots and instantly had a huge prestige in their minds.

Seeing dozens of students rushing out cheering, even Olin was caught in it without any exception, Xu Yi couldn't help laughing.

This situation reminded him of the crazy days when he was in college and ran outside the school with the classmates in the dormitory.

Looking back, the dwarves also retreated in groups, leaving only the slaves who seemed to be at a loss. Xu Yi pondered for a moment and pulled Heince to a corner.

"Hiinze, start recruiting workers."
