Then Ruichi turned his head and said to Ariel, "President Ariel, you really can''t do this. You see, after we get the design drawing of the element machine from you, we will also open the textile factory. I will never let my workers work for less than ten hours. They must work for sixteen hours. "


    Ariel was stunned, smiled and said, "sixteen hours? Viscount Ritchie, I''m afraid I can''t do it in sixteen hours? Do workers always need time to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, study and rest? "


    For Ariel''s remarks, viscount Ruichi seemed to hear something strange, but stared at Ariel: "study? Why study? What can workers learn? I''ve seen your textile factory. They just need to get the raw materials on the machine according to the fixed method. What else to learn? "


    Ariel''s mouth twitched.


    Reich didn''t realize it, but turned to Norris nearby and said, "I don''t like President Ariel. I can use vampires, so sixteen hours is my limit. I will let my workers work sixteen hours a day and then adopt the piece work system. In other words, I don''t pay wages, but how much I pay them for how much they finish. Lord Norris, this is my inspiration from my fishing industry. After all, how many fish my siren queen can catch determines how much income I can get from that fish. "


    Norris smiled, nodded and said, "yes, why didn''t I think of that? Piece work system, this is good! Alas, the idiot Lord of Tianhe City used to pay the farmers and slaughterers, but if they pay, they do more and less. They have no passion for work! Sure enough, we still have to adopt the piece work system. If we do more, we can get more money. If we do less, I won''t give money. Only in this way can they have the enthusiasm to work and make money! Yes, the piece work system. I''ll change their salary calculation method when I go back. "


    When Viscount Ritchie saw that his proposal had been accepted, he turned his head proudly, looked at Ariel and said, "President Ariel, I think you should also change your strategy. Those hired workers, you also adopt the piecework system. Otherwise, you see, recently, there are few raw materials and the factory doesn''t open much time. You still have to pay so much salary. Isn''t it a big loss? Also, since it''s a guild, members of the guild just let them get a commission on their tasks. I heard you paid your members, too? In that case... "


    With that, viscount Reich glanced at Brad standing next to him. Thinking that the soldier was usually silly, he simply smiled and said——


    "You should be careful. You are undoubtedly ''sucking blood'' by your employees and guild members ~ ~ ~ Although you have found a group of vampires, don''t be sucked dry by those vampires at that time. That''s the worst situation. If you fail one day and are compared by our two textile factories, don''t regret it. "


    Ariel smiled and said, "you want too much? They''re just my employees. That won''t happen. "


    Ruichi saw that Ariel still didn''t care much, and immediately said with a little help: "many problems must be paid attention to at the beginning, but don''t wait until the last thing gets out of control. It''s too late."


    Norris over there also said with a trace of concern: "President Ariel, I know you may have some sympathy for those workers. But you must also know that your current status is completely different from those employees and members of your guild. "


    "You are no longer a civilian, but an aristocrat. It can even be said to be a non official member of the royal family. Even if you need to keep your image as close to the people as possible and fight with the lower class, that doesn''t mean you still have to do so in the future. You must consider your identity and keep a certain distance from them. Otherwise, you will lose your identity. "


    Ariel was a little impatient, but now it''s not easy to attack directly. She can only put down her knife and fork, take out her pocket watch, look at the time, and said, "thank you for your care. I''ll pay attention. Ah, unconsciously, it''s so late now. Sorry, I have some work to do in the evening. Please allow me to excuse me now. "


    Then Ariel picked up her napkin, wiped her mouth, smiled at the two viscounts, and then left with Brad saying goodbye.


    As Ariel walked out of the door, Ritchie and Norris glanced at each other again. Ruichi shook his head helplessly, while Norris snorted softly, as if disgusted by something.


    "You say, did the Baroness start to lose her mind after she became an aristocrat?"


    Norris cut a steak into his mouth, chewed it twice, and said——


    "In my impression, she is a woman who can come up with any idea to make money. But now she has done so many absurd things. "


    Ruichi nodded with a little worry on his face and said, "I think so too... When she was just a guild president in the past, it really gave people a very strong sense of oppression... But now she is a mistress, but she seems a little afraid of head and tail."


    Norris snorted, "you know what? She even arranged activities for those hired workers during their breaks! She also organized the vampires who boarded us to play cards, play balls, chat and sing! I don''t know where she got so much time? Shouldn''t we spend all our time trying to make money? "


    Seeing that Norris was getting more and more angry, Reich quickly raised his hand and said, "well, well, you should also consider the identity of others now. Although he is obviously a guild president, he is now the mistress of the royal family. To put it bluntly, the reason why she paid so much to those employees was simply to preach the greatness of the royal family. Don''t you think you can understand? "


    Norris licked the gravy at the corner of his mouth, nodded, clenched his teeth and said, "of course I understand, of course I understand... She is willing to pay those hired workers such a high salary and give them such a long rest. I really can''t think of anything other than giving the royal family a long face. But, Lord Reich, just because she wants to be a gentle woman doesn''t mean we have to follow her. "


    Ruichi smiled and said, "don''t worry! Of course I can''t really be like her. I''ve spent money, so my workers must work hard for me in the future. By the way, the dumping method she just mentioned... This method is very good. When our production materials come up later, shall we go and have a look? "


    Norris immediately opened his eyes to Ritchie''s proposal! He nodded vigorously, ate up the steak in front of him, picked up his napkin, wiped his mouth, smiled and said, "OK! That''s it! I really don''t understand that woman. She has such a convenient and fast way to make money. She still wants to make money by producing clothes well? We can''t be as stupid as her. Mr. Ruichi, the two of us will take charge of the goods trade in the whole border province. I believe we can make a lot of money in the future! "


    Then Ritchie smiled.


    Similarly, Norris smiled.


    The two Viscount smiled incomparably brightly, as if they had found their close friends in life. They laughed so freely and comfortably


    As for Ariel on the other side, she returned to the guild and can only breathe out a long breath now.


    Forget it, it''s no use thinking so much now. Let''s do what we can do first.


    Ariel took out the account books and work logs from behind the counter and began to look through them. Brad, on the other side, went upstairs to find Bafei when he saw that he had returned to the guild.


    After a while, the crisp tower began to bring out the food from the kitchen. Look, it''s completely dark outside. When everyone comes back, you can start to have dinner.


    But at this time


    Touch -!


    Suddenly, the guild gate was pushed open!


    Ariel, Brad, Britta, coco and Margo who were still in the guild all leaned out from behind their rooms or tables and looked in the direction of the guild gate.


    But it wasn''t some troublemaker who rushed in, it was dak.


    "No... no!"


    However, dak''s expression now doesn''t look like something good will happen.


    "President! Things... Bad! Something''s wrong! "


    It was the first time Ariel saw this crazy soldier. Now she would become so flustered. She was stunned. While other guild members came downstairs, she also got up from the sofa, immediately went to the door and said, "what''s the matter? What happened? "


    Dak bit his teeth, pointed to the outside of the guild and said nervously, "president! Cheese and I went to catch the thief. As a result... Things got big! Oh, I can''t understand now. Hurry up! We said as we walked! "


    Catch a thief?


    Ariel was slightly stunned, but looking at dak''s expression now, she knew it was not time to ask in detail. Then she nodded immediately and followed dak out of the guild gate.


    "What''s going on?"


    At the same time, Napa jumped off the guild roof and landed firmly on Ariel''s hat.


    Ariel looked back and watched the other members lock the guild gate with their backhands, followed dak to the old city of Pelican city and said, "I don''t know what happened. As we walked, we said, dak, don''t worry. What''s going on? Is the cheese hurt? "


    The members of mermaid song hurried on their way. Hearing the possibility that cheese might be injured, everyone else couldn''t help but be nervous.


    You know, in Pelican City, it can hurt cheese and make dak, a crazy soldier, run back out of breath... How strong is that?!


    While running, dak shook his head, frowned and said, "no, it''s not that the cheese is hurt! Well, let me start from the beginning. Let''s hurry! They should have caught the thief in the central square. Let''s hurry up! "


    In the process of running towards the central square, dak finally told the whole story——


    "The thing is, when you were meeting with the mayor of cheese yesterday evening, a citizen came to our mermaid song for help."


    "They are a farmer. They said that one of the poultry raised in their yard was suddenly missing last night. That there was a thief in Pelican city. "


    Napa lay on Ariel''s head, patted Ariel''s forehead gently with the meat pad and said, "it''s not surprising that there are about 1500 residents in Pelican city. It''s not surprising that there are one or two thieves."


    Dak waved his hand and ran for two steps. Then he looked back and saw that the other members of the mermaid song obviously couldn''t keep up with him, so he had to stop for a while.


    When Ariel followed, he continued, "I was the one who received the farmer at that time. I don''t think it''s a big deal. Besides, now the only armed force in Pelican city is our mermaid song. Our mermaid song also has this responsibility to take on the security force in the city. And a thief, I think things should not be big, so I didn''t tell you. "


    Ariel nodded, "what happened later?"


    Dak breathed out, continued to run and said, "because it was the report I received last evening, I went to inspect the peasant household where the theft occurred last night. As a result, nothing happened all night. Then, today. "


    "Today, cheese asked me why I went out last night, and I told him about the thief. He was very interested, so he said he would patrol with me today to see if he could catch the thief. "


    "When it was dark today, I thought I would go around the city before dinner, and then continue patrolling after dinner. So I set out with cheese. "


    "But I never thought... The thief was so bold. The genius was just dark and the streets were full of pedestrians. The guy jumped out again and attacked the farmer. As a result, it was hit by me and cheese. "


    Ariel asked, "is the thief strong? The other party escaped? "


    But the question just blurted out, Ariel suddenly felt a change in the air.


    It turned out that she didn''t think too much. Because when she looked around, she saw that the people around her now looked up and looked at the roofs of those houses with horror!


    All the members of the guild now raised their heads and watched those ghosts cross the whole street and quickly rush towards the central square not far away.


    Seeing these shadows, Ariel immediately had a vague premonition in her heart. She couldn''t care to listen to dak''s report. She immediately shouted, "Brad, take me away!"


    After that, she turned and raised her feet, and Brad immediately stretched out his palm, took up his president, and rushed towards the central square with the people.


    After arriving at the central square, Ariel immediately understood why dak was so flustered now.


    Now, the whole central square seems to be forcibly cut apart by some powerful force, and the people gathered here are naturally divided into two factions.


    On the one hand, there are ordinary citizens living in Pelican city. Among these people, there are Butian tailors, small spirits owners, and even the mayor of round cheese.


    On the other side... There are those... Blood families who continue to gather.


    Obviously, it is from the human side of the square that the two sides now show such a clear sense of separation.


    A blood clan


    A vampire with bright red eyes is now tied back by his hands and heavily pressed on the ground by the palm of cheese. But while the blood clan was suppressed, his face was full of disdain, yelled and cursed loudly in languages that human beings could not understand.


    So what happened here... I believe it''s obvious.


    (blood language) let go of Jowell


    The blood clan gathered here, their faces obviously with anger and tension. Now, the sun has completely set. Under the light of the element lamp in the central square, nearly 70 or 80 blood families gathered here all opened their hands, exposed their fangs and showed full ferocity. Some of them even lay on the ground as if they were at the residence of the moon god, posing as an attack anytime and anywhere.


    When Ariel arrived, she happened to see Simon standing in front of the blood families with a simple spear made of wood in his hand, reaching out and pointing to the cheese over there——


    (blood language) cheese! Let go of Jowell! He is your fellow countryman in the village! Are you betraying your countrymen again? "


    Facing the reprimand of Simon, the current head of the hunter village, cheese''s eyes flickered obviously. His teeth clenched, his tusks exposed, and the bright red in his pupils not only symbolized his strength, but also showed some hesitation.


    The blood clan named Jowell, who was suppressed by him, kept shouting and scolding: "(blood clan language) let me go! You human dog! Lost dog! Cheese! You don''t help your compatriots, but also help those human beings to hold me down? Are you still not a member of the noble night family? You mean dog! "


    Cheese''s eyes flickered a little anger, but after this anger, it was mixed with a little hesitation. In the face of Jowell''s provocation and scolding, he can only burst out: "(blood language) shut up! I''m just catching a thief! You stole something, that''s all! "
