Chapter-67: use labor to reform them and become a good person
"Miss Wendy, we are family. If you have any good ideas, you must tell us."
"Yes, yes, Miss Wendy, you are very smart, witty and decisive, and you have the demeanor of a great general. I, Zeref, admire you very much. If anyone dares to bully you, I will be the first to say no."
"Miss Wendy, I am your most sincere friend and I am willing to help you at all costs." Lord Jeff felt that his subordinates were unreliable and had betrayed him one by one. Look, they were all praising Wendy Lark.
However, he was more attentive than anyone else. He peeled a few peanuts himself and handed them over. "Miss Wendy, if you have any ideas, please tell us and we will discuss it together. I believe that Miss Wendy's wisdom is unmatched."
He treats anyone who can bring him benefits as a treasure, and there is nothing wrong with that. Wendy Lark took the peanuts nonchalantly but didn't eat them.
"Right now, Master Jeff is worried that doing business will delay the trip. So, what if we have a horse-drawn carriage or a mule-drawn carriage to travel quickly?" Deputy Captain Luke was moved.
"You mean, buy them a carriage or a mule cart? That won't work. They don't deserve it, and it's not in accordance with the rules."
"Carriages are too expensive. How many carriages are needed for more than 300 people? We don't have that much money."
This is a bad idea and doesn't seem like something that a smart person would come up with. Wendy Lark sighed.
The generation gap between her and them was as wide as the Pacific Ocean. "Let them take out a loan to buy it themselves. You don't have to spend a penny."
Deputy Captain Luke smiled at her interest and said. "What? I didn't understand, Miss Wendy, please speak slowly and in detail. We are rough people and our brains are not very smart."
If a smart person had climbed up earlier, he would not have become a low-level escort guards, escorting exiled criminals thousands of miles for a little money. Wendy Lark was quite satisfied with his attitude. "That's right. Lend them money to buy a car first..."
An officer couldn't help but interrupt, "Borrow money? How can they pay it back?" Wendy Lark rolled her eyes. "Can you let me finish what I'm saying?" The others all glared at their companions.
Why are you butting in? Can your brain compare to Miss Wendy's? The officer touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have interrupted you." Wendy Lark's status is no longer the same.
She has a certain say and has won the respect of officials, but she is still some distance away from her goal. "You buy the car and make them sign a pledge to pay it off in installments. With the car, we can travel quickly.
When we come across a busy town, we can stop for a few days, sell some soap, and make some money and leave. This way, there will always be new markets and new consumers, and we will never have to worry about sales." Fire and move to another place.
"The most important thing is that it won't delay your journey." Everyone was shocked. How could this be possible? It sounds reliable and quite beneficial to them, so let's do it! Mr. Jeff was more sober and asked directly, "So they pay back the money? Do they pay their wages?"
Wendy Lark said with a smile, "Just pay a little. It's piecework. The more you do, the more you earn. You can make money based on your ability. This will fully mobilize everyone's enthusiasm."
"Of course, we won't let them sit comfortably in the carriage and do nothing. After all, they are all exiles. They need to endure hardships and punishment so that we can report to the higher ups and avoid any criticism."
She said righteously, "I suggest labor reform." Mr. Jeff was stunned. "Why?"
"Use labor to reform them, so that they can clearly realize their mistakes, reflect on them, and become good people who are loyal to the King and patriotic again."
"Women can use their expertise to do some needlework. As for men, they can copy books and do handicrafts. We can take a share of the money they earn. In a word, we cannot have an idle person. If he is idle, he will cause trouble."
Mr. Jeff was stunned and thought. (What a guy! What a guy! Making others work and earn money, under the guise of labor reform, is a powerful and high-sounding reason. What's even better is that this plan kills several birds with one stone and is beneficial to both parties.)
The officials can get a share of the profits and are not afraid of being reported for not doing their job properly. The exiles no longer had to endure the wind and rain, or walk, and they no longer had to work so hard, which reduced casualties.
Not only that, they can also make money in an honest way and pave the way for their future life at the border. The subordinates applauded, "This is a great idea, Boss, let's do it." They can make a fortune from it.
"Miss Wendy, I always thought women were good at nothing but crying. It was you who made me realize that women can also be as resourceful as you. You are truly amazing."
"Miss Wendy, you are really a female Goddess. You can actually come up with such an idea." Wendy Lark asked curiously, "What's so difficult about this? Just think about it and you will know it."
Officers: ...Speechless….
(I can't afford to offend you. I can't afford to offend you. Don't ever offend Miss Wendy Lark. It won't take her a minute to deal with you, and you may not even notice when you've suffered a loss.) They all thought in their hearts.
