The private territory of His Highness Sevini is located in the northeastern province of the Kingdom of Lampari, and is closer to the eastern border of the Kingdom, about 700 kilometers away from the city of Bonta.

Being so far apart, and in order to clearly show his attitude, Sevini basically only cares about things outside the territory, so he naturally knows nothing about what happened in Bangta City.

However, on the first day of the New Year in 3784, Sevini was in the same mood as the people in Bonta City, and was not very good.

Starting about half a month before the New Year, some refugee-like people poured into her private territory from the west and northwest directions.

At the beginning, when he saw these ragged, skinny and extremely poor refugees, Sevini immediately asked his subordinates to shelter and make proper arrangements for them.

However, as time goes by, more and more refugees pouring into the territory are increasing.

Today, after a rough count, there have been more than 200 people entering the territory in this half month.

This surprised Sewini.

In recent years, with the large-scale promotion of the farmland magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Lampari Kingdom, grain production in various parts of the kingdom has increased significantly.

And because of the use of fertilizers, the grain produced in the kingdom every year has already been able to fully meet the needs of everyone in the kingdom, and even the excess grain can be sold to neighboring countries.

Logically speaking, even if there is a natural disaster, there should be enough food in the kingdom so that refugees will not appear.

What's more, the country in Lampari can be considered as good weather throughout the year, and no natural disasters have occurred at all.

But the refugees in front of him were ironic facts. So Sevini was very confused.

After worshiping the dead Lampari XIII on the first day of the New Year, Sevini thought of his father's advice to him during his lifetime. He couldn't help but come to the place where refugees were accommodated in the territory and found several refugees to ask.

After a brief inquiry, Sewini received an answer that she had completely unexpectedly.

These refugees did not flee because they had no food to eat, but to escape service.

"Service?" Sevini frowned slightly. "The kingdom has never had any forced service except for forced service. What are you running for?"

"No, no, Your Highness, you misunderstood." The answer was a middle-aged man who fled from the northwest province. He shook his head vigorously and said, "We are not trying to escape the service of the kingdom, but the service stipulated by the local lords and the lords' mansion."

Sewini was stunned: "The service stipulated by the Lord and the Lord's Mansion? What did they make you serve?"

"We just want to work in the factory. If we don't do it, we won't plant it or feed us." The middle-aged man sighed. "But if we go to the factory, we have to go every day as dawn and we can't come back when it's dark. I've been doing this every day. I have been working for several months and I can't stand it at all."

"Yes, the same is true for us. Sometimes we are asked to work all night, and then we only have to go back to sleep for a few hours before we have to work again. There are two people in our village who were exhausted last month." A thin person next to him was so thin that his eyes were deep. He should be young, but he looked like a man in his thirties or forties.

"Yes, yes. Many people were exhausted from us. We were afraid that we would be exhausted, so we found a chance to escape." This time, the one who echoed was a middle-aged woman. "Our whole family ran together this time, otherwise if we stayed, we would definitely be caught. If we continue working, our whole family might be exhausted."

Seeing the extremely haggard refugees around him echoing each other, Sevini was greatly surprised.

"What kind of work do you do when you catch them? You're so tired?"

"Just do some work in the factory, it seems like you are doing some magical machinery, right?"

"Yes, it's the magic machine. This damn magic machine, I dream about it every night when I have nightmares!"

"Well, what I made before seemed to be called a magic kettle? It seems to be like that. It's just such a simple thing, but it's not difficult to make, but I really can't stand it if I have to work there all day long."

"Oh, we're making magic air conditioners over there."

"We are making magic stoves..."

...

Listening to the refugees' comments, Sevini's face looked a little strange.

You heard right, these refugees were forcibly arrested by the noble lords and the local city lord's mansion to serve labor, but they actually asked them to make magic machinery in the magic machinery factory?

But in Sewini's impression, shouldn't the work of a magic machinery factory be very simple, and is it much easier than farming?

"Your Highness, you have never done that. I tell you that the work is simple and simple. But you have to repeat the same action all day long and do it thousands of times, which no one can stand. And you can only rest for a while during meals, and you will not stop at other times." A refugee explained to Sevini.

Sevini asked in surprise: "No way? Isn't it just working eight hours a day? Isn't it because I have to pay you overtime for more hours?"

"Overtime pay?" This time the refugees were all stunned. "What is overtime pay?"

Sevini was speechless. It seemed that these refugees had no idea of ​​overtime pay at all.

"What about the salary? You work for so long every day, you should give you a lot of salary, right? Are there twenty per month... Oh no, this is unlikely. Are there ten gold coins?"

"Ten gold coins?" A group of refugees all stared at Sevini at wide eyes, as if they had heard something incredible.

Seeing their expressions, Sevini immediately understood that he had said the wrong thing.

Perhaps for Bangta City, the monthly salary of ten gold coins may not be even enough for ordinary standards, but for other places in the Kingdom of Lampari, this is already a very high salary standard.

"Your Highness, for you, ten gold coins are definitely nothing. But we... have never seen ten gold coins in our life that much money is." A refugee couldn't help but say.

"Yes. I've seen gold coins once in my life. It was the one in our village who came to work in Bangta City to show me when he came back. He said that his work in Bangta City can get thirteen gold coins a month."

"So high? Then why don't you go to Bangta City too?"

"I originally planned to go, but my parents at home were old and I didn't dare to stay too far away."

"What about now? I remember you said on the way that your parents were beaten to death by the Lord before. You don't have this burden, right?"

A trace of gloom flashed across the young man's face, he lowered his head slightly, and sighed: "Now I can't do it even if I want to go. The person in our village said that after the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce left Bangta City, Bangta City was completely controlled by the ten chambers of commerce. He ran over and was caught by them and sent back to his original place."

Speaking of this, the young man suddenly raised his head and begged Sevini: "Your Highness, please pity us, don't send us back. If you go back, I will be beaten to death by the Lord of the Lord sooner or later!"

Sevini was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, the other refugees seemed to have reacted and begged to Sevini together.

"Your Highness, I heard that you are the most kind. Please forgive us for escaping from the territory! We just want to live a few more days."

"Yes. Your Highness, we don't really want to escape. We just don't want to be exhausted."

"Your Highness, please forgive us..."

...

With his eyes swept across his face full of desire around him, Sevini sighed softly, stood up, and told the officials beside him to take good care of the refugees and leave the temporary refugee center.

The refugees behind her were still begging, but she could only ignore them with a hard heart.

It was not that she was unwilling to agree to the requests of these refugees, but according to the answers of these refugees just now, they were obviously all people in the private territories of the nobles. According to the regulations of the noble parliament, even if she was the princess, she had no right to interfere in other aristocratic territories.

These refugees are the people of those nobles, so how to deal with them is the affairs of those lords.

Although she could temporarily accommodate them, she did not have the right to deal with them at will.

The only thing that can be done is to temporarily place them and pretend that they don’t know about this matter. It’s just a while to hide it.

If the lords of these refugees come to their doors, according to the rules of the nobles' parliament and the unwritten rules between the nobles, Sevini would not force them to stay.

Walking on a newly built road in the territory, which was not particularly spacious, Sevini thought about the conversation with the refugees just now, and his heart was filled with bitterness.

She thought that the food problem of the kingdom would be solved, even if the lives of the people of the kingdom were improved by half.

However, I didn't expect that the people of the kingdom would suffer such suffering now.

Although she didn't ask clearly just now, judging from the reactions of the refugees, when they forced their work in those magic machinery factories, they might not even have a salary.

Because they all call this service, and serving is naturally a voluntary work.

Thinking of this, Sevini couldn't help but smile bitterly.

When she saw Xu Yi personally formulated the work standards for workers in the New Air Chamber of Commerce, she also expressed her anger, thinking that Xu Yi was completely unnecessary.

Because she felt that since these workers were employed by the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, they should work according to the arrangements of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. There was no need to formulate so many additional rules for them to abide by, and they also limited working hours, which seemed so rigid.

At that time, Xu Yi commented on this and said that Sevini's idea represented the nobles' exploitation of the civilian class, and Sevini was not convinced.

Now it seems that Xu Yi is actually right.

The experiences of these refugees really perfectly reflect this.

Thinking that the work these refugees were doing was actually related to the production of magic machinery, Sewini felt very moved.

Although this also means that the magic industry has flourished in the Kingdom of Lampari, this is probably not the kind of development that Xu Yi hopes to see?

Thinking of this, Sevini suddenly felt a sense of resentment and strong longing for Xu Yi.

What are this guy who cruelly abandoned the Kingdom of Lampari and Bonta City doing on the first day of the New Year? How much do you know about the current situation of the Kingdom of Lampari? (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, the novel is better, updated and faster!
