Nuo Yue didn't expect that the city lord would ask such a direct question. When others saw that she was disabled, they would avoid mentioning it.Now, all her nervousness and other emotions are gone, only a strong sense of loss.
Gaba's expression changed slightly behind her, she pursed her lips and looked at the city lord, could it be that disabled people really can't find a job?Does even the city lord despise Nuo Yue?
HAD could see the expressions of both of them, and said calmly, "The job of the editor-in-chief is to approve the manuscripts of articles, and he must also be able to write articles himself."
HAD's words brought Nuo Yue to her senses, as long as she didn't just let her go, it meant there was hope.
"Can you write articles? Or a letter from home." HAD said indifferently. His requirements are not high, and it doesn't matter if the articles are good. This can be learned, and he can also teach.But if you don't know how to write family letters, you really don't have the foundation at all. Don't even think about the position of editor-in-chief.
"I know a little bit about articles." Nuo Yue replied cautiously, she learned it from her mother.
"Oh?" HAD raised his eyebrows, looked at Nuo Yue in surprise, reached out and pushed the white paper and pen on the table, and said slowly, "Write an article."
"Ah?" Nuo Yue stared blankly at the blank paper and pen in front of her, really a little confused now.
"Just write about the difference between Sheba City and other cities." HAD gave a simple topic.
"Yes." Nuo Yue pursed her lips, and after thinking for a while, she picked up a pen and started to write. The topic was very simple, and she could think of many things to write.
During Nuo Yue's writing process, Mina lowered her head and whispered in HAD's ear, and her blue eyes glanced at Gaba from time to time. She was reporting on the candidate for the guard, and Gaba was the one she liked.
HAD nodded calmly. The big girl in front of her was the candidate that Mina was looking for, which was unexpected, and her younger sister is now applying for the editor-in-chief job, which is really interesting.
Ten minutes later, when Nuo Yue finished writing a full page and was about to write the second page, HAD called her to stop.
"Okay, that's enough for the time being." HAD waved his hand, reached out to pull out the paper full of words, and looked at it seriously.
Nuo Yue was nervous, her little hands trembled slightly, her brown eyes were fixed on HAD's expression, as if she wanted to read something.
Gaba was also very nervous, knowing that this was a test, she put her hands on Nuo Yue's shoulders, and gently kneaded to calm her sister's nervousness.
"Nuoyue, I'll give you two choices now." HAD spent a few minutes reading it, and said calmly, "One, your article is not good enough to be the editor-in-chief, learn from me for a while How to write articles, but you can only get one-third of your salary, and when you are truly independent, you will be given one silver coin per month."
Before the two could respond, HAD continued, "Secondly, you can refuse."
"I'll choose the first one." Nuo Yue shouted without thinking. This was really a surprise. She thought that the city lord would be rejected, but she didn't expect to be able to learn from the city lord.
Gaba opened her mouth and looked at the Santo in astonishment. She didn't expect this reversal. She thought that the Santo would dislike her sister as a disabled person, so she found an excuse to refuse.
After all, people with disabilities, no matter what they do, are inherently inferior, especially in terms of mobility, which is basically zero, and being rejected by others is also expected by Gaba and Nuo Yue.
"Then you start to go to work tomorrow, and I will teach you some basic things." HAD glanced at the smiling Xiongerniang.
"Yes." Nuo Yue happily replied that she had found a job.
"My lord, are you here to work? Or go to work in the castle?" Gaba asked cautiously.
"Come directly to the newspaper office tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day when the first issue of the newspaper will be released." HAD said lightly.
"Understood." Gaba nodded affirmatively. She decided to quit her job in the weaving workshop and use it to carry Nuo Yue on the trip, so that she wouldn't bother others, and her younger sister could take care of her.
"My lord, I, I am a disabled person. Why did you choose me? After all, there are so many..." Nuo Yue asked softly, her brown eyes flashed nervously, her little hands were tightly clenched, she wanted to know and agree, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight.
"Nuoyue, what are you talking about?" Gaba shouted eagerly. This question is a bit too offensive. How the Lord City Lord chooses is his consideration.
HAD waved his hand to signal Gaba not to get excited, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "The value of a person is not only reflected in the feet, and you don't have feet, but the value displayed is better than many healthy people."
What he said was the truth. In this short article, he could see many things. Compared with the people queuing outside to try their luck, Nuo Yue's ability beat those people by a few blocks.
HAD didn't find it strange at all. The Beastkin survived, and those who didn't get caught as slaves had some skills.Most of the people in Sheba City apply for the job, and some businessmen who come to Sheba City to do business are unlikely to apply.Most of the Beastkin who dared to apply for the job were once nobles, and only nobles would receive higher education.
"My value is better than others?" Nuo Yue opened her mouth slightly, looking at the City Lord in disbelief.
"Brain." HAD waved his hand with the article, and said calmly, "A wise person, even if she can't move her whole body, I will still apply for her."
"Understood." Nuo Yue nodded earnestly, the city lord had taken a fancy to her wisdom.
"Go." HAD waved his hand. Today's recruitment has been completed. With Nuo Yue's ability, he only needs to teach for a while and he can become a hands-off shopkeeper.
"Yes." Gaba quickly replied, lowered her body and carried Nuo Yue on her back and walked outside.
"Gag!"
Jiaba carried Nuoyue on her back to the outer avenue, and the two of them felt very relaxed. They didn't expect that the disabled would really find a job.
"Sister, the City Master is really different." Nuo Yue said softly.
"Yes, the Lord of the City is a very noble person." Gaba's brown eyes were twinkling, like a star-chaser girl.
Chapter 0500 orphans selling newspapers.
In the early morning, around six o'clock, the sky was only getting brighter, and there were about children gathered outside the newspaper office, including boys, girls, and Beastkin children.
"Phew...it's so cold!"
A childish voice sounded, and a human girl was bouncing around, her thin clothes couldn't keep out the cold.
"Ale, did we come too early?" A boy trembling, shouted to another red-haired boy, "It's not six o'clock yet, is it?"
"The night watchman doesn't seem to have knocked on the six o'clock clock yet, but it's probably coming soon." A Le is a boy about 1.4 meters tall, with red hair that stands out the most.
Ale glanced at the companions around him, and said in a deep voice, "It's better to come early, the city lord gave us such an opportunity, and it will never be wrong to be early."
Last night, they were notified that the city lord had work for them. No, they came outside the newspaper office and waited before the sun was fully up.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Three patrolmen came out of the security department, holding a gong in their hands, and knocked six times as they walked, which meant that it was six o'clock in the morning.
"Ale, look, those patrolmen are so cool." The boy shouted with bright eyes.
"Yeah, it's cool." A Le stared blankly at the backs of those patrolmen, holding his little hands tightly. He must become a patrolman.
"Ale, I remember that last time you were rescued by the patrolman named Axe?" the boy sighed.
"Well, it's Captain Axe." Ale nodded. Last time he was bullied, Captain Ax happened to pass by, so he sent the man to the Security Division. After that man came out, he didn't dare to bully again. him.
"Ale, you said that the city lord asked us to come, what kind of work is he giving us?" the boy looked forward to, "Did you let us join the army?"
"Don't think about it, with our age and physique, we can't even pass the first test." Ale rolled his eyes and said, in the eyes of ordinary people, especially orphans, joining the army is the best way out.
"That's all I said, Ale, you are too strict..."
"..."
When the time came to 06:30, the sound of horseshoes could be heard in the distance of the street, and soon a carriage appeared outside the newspaper office, causing twenty children to retreat quickly, looking expectantly at the door of the carriage.
"Ta Tata..."
Sink drove the carriage to a stop in front of the newspaper office, glanced coldly at the children around him, jumped off the carriage and prepared the ladder, and shouted to the carriage, "My lord, the newspaper office is here."
"Gag!"
The carriage door was pushed open, and HAD came out, followed by Mina.He frowned and looked at the children under his eyes, and sighed in his heart, the children of the poor have already taken charge of their families, let alone the orphans.
"Let's all go in." HAD waved his hands and shouted, and entered the newspaper office under the protection of Maoer Niang.
The children were only allowed to enter the newspaper office after the Wolf Warriors team searched.After they entered the newspaper office, they were taken into a room, which was the office of the editor-in-chief of the future newspaper office.
"Dong dong dong..." HAD tapped his fingers on the table and quietly looked at the orphans in front of him. These twenty children were all orphans, and most of them were around twelve or thirteen years old.
"..." The orphans all lowered their heads, and some of them had trembling feet. They didn't dare to look up at the city lord, even if the city lord was the object of their admiration.
"You all raise your heads, I won't eat you." HAD smiled gently, but there is no need to play the majesty of the city lord to the child.
The gentle voice made the children relax a little. They all raised their heads, took a peek at the city lord, and then looked away immediately, with their eyes wandering.
HAD looked at the twenty orphans in front of him. The clothes on their bodies were very tattered, they were bent over, and their lips were pale with cold.
"Mina..." HAD beckoned for the cat-eared lady to come closer, pinched her cat-eared lady and muttered a few words.
"Okay, okay." Mina blushed slightly, and walked out of the office with a little sloppy footsteps. The cat ears were still too sensitive.
"I asked you to come today because I have a job for you." HAD said with a serious face. Some of the parents of these orphans died of starvation, and some died of illness.
Ale was the first to shout respectfully, "Please, Lord City Lord, give me instructions."
"Work is to sell this thing." HAD stared at the red-haired boy with black eyes for a second, picked up the newspaper on the table, and said, "This thing is called a newspaper, and each copy sells for two steel coins. For every copy you sell, you can get a steel coin."
After the voice fell, the orphans breathed heavily, all staring at the newspaper.
The corner of HAD's mouth twitched slightly. This time he asked the printing department to print 250 copies of the newspaper, and the cost price was just controlled at two newspapers for one steel coin, that is, he only earned steel coins for selling copies of the newspaper.
The more newspapers there are, the more they earn. Of course, newspapers definitely don't make that little money by selling newspapers. The main way to make money is advertising.
The printing of copies of the newspaper is the first market test to see how many people will buy the newspaper, and if the sales are good, it will be printed again.
"My lord, how do you sell it?" A Le asked cautiously.
"It's like this..." HAD picked up a newspaper and explained.
After more than ten minutes, the twenty orphans seemed to know but did not know, trying to digest what HAD explained.
"Gag!"
The door of the office was pushed open, and the cat-eared lady came in with a big bag of steamed buns, and placed it in front of twenty orphans.
"Eat, let's start making preparations when you're full." HAD propped his chin with one hand, waved his hand and said, "I will report to the society to prepare breakfast for you in the future."
70 newspapers per day, distributed equally to orphans, can earn more than copper coins a month, which can fully support them.
"Thank you, Lord City Master." Ale shouted first, before stepping forward to get a steamed bun.
"Thank you, Lord City Master." The orphans followed suit.
Some orphans were eating steamed buns, their eyes were red. They were all orphans, and their daily task was to struggle to survive. If it wasn't for the help from the city lord, they would have starved to death long ago.
"Work hard, learn to read and write after earning money, that's the only way out." HAD said seriously, as if he saw his former self in the orphans.
"Yes." The orphans shouted in unison, and some children had already choked up.
The world has never treated them with tenderness. Today, one person is enough to wash away thousands of eyes.
Chapter 0501 The first issue of the alien edition of the newspaper.
"Hey, fat, hurry up, hurry up and line up to buy buns, you won't be in time for work later."
"Huhahuha...don't worry, it's still early, it's only early seven o'clock."
"You stupid, don't you have to wait in line to buy buns? Or do you want to chip in to eat pizza?"
"Huh? You can have pizza, this time I will give you an extra steel coin."
"Okay, I'll pay you four steel coins. When I save up enough coins, I'll bring my family over for a double-meat pizza."
"Then I've already brought my family to eat..."
"..."
In the early morning, around 07:30, it is the peak time for going to work for breakfast, and the bun shop business is the most popular, and most people buy steamed buns.
At this time, the newspaper office opened, and twenty orphan newspaper sellers ran out. Each of them had a linen bag hanging on them. There were four characters on the linen bag: "Sheba City News". newspaper.
"Ale, I'm going to the community over there." The boy waved and shouted, and immediately ran away. A newspaper could make him a steel coin, and he wished to sell more.
"Be careful." A Le stepped on his feet and shouted. He turned and walked to the pizza shop. The consumption power of the people there is relatively large, and several people have already gone to the steamed stuffed bun shop with a lot of traffic.
"Sell, sell the newspaper, sell the newspaper. A newspaper costs two steel coins, which contains articles written by the city lord, as well as recruitment information. The current housing price is copper coins per square meter, and there are still seven houses in the Tai'an community. Available for sale..."
Ale faltered from the beginning to yelling fluently at the end, holding a newspaper in his hand and yelling loudly.
Within a few minutes, there were people shouting and selling newspapers everywhere in Sheba City.
"Lizao, are you alright? Get out now, you'll be late for work later." Ryan stood at the door and shouted helplessly, "If you're late, you won't be able to eat pizza in time."
"Hurry up, hurry up." Lisa's perfunctory voice came from the room, and she ran out after a while.
"Are you wearing perfume again?" Ryan sniffed his nose and smelled it, no wonder he was procrastinating.
"I put on perfume once every three days? Did you forget?" Lizao narrowed her eyes, and stretched her fat hands towards Ryan's waist.
"Let's go, there's not enough time." Ryan was shocked, turned around and went out quickly, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, who would remember such a thing as putting on perfume.
"Ta Tata..."
Li Zao rolled her eyes, closed the door and chased after her.
Ryan and Lizao walked towards the main avenue, when they heard the voice of selling newspapers, which made Lizao very curious.
"Lian, what are those shouters selling?" Lizao asked curiously.
"A newspaper seller." Ryan replied casually. He had received the news in advance, but he didn't know what a newspaper was.
"What is a newspaper?" Lizao blinked her eyes.
"I don't know either. It's a new business created by the city lord. Just buy a share and see if you can find out." Ryan shook his head and said, he got the news in advance and asked the patrolmen to ignore the yelling of the newspaper sellers.
"Okay, then buy a copy." Lizao nodded quickly, beckoning to the red-haired boy who just passed by, "That newspaper seller, get a newspaper."
"Okay, come right away." After hearing this, A Le immediately rushed over, handed over the newspaper in his hand, and said, "Ms. Lizao, one newspaper and two steel coins."
As the wife of Deputy Director Ryan, Lizao is also very famous in Sheba City, and most people know her.
"Here, two steel coins." Li Zao squeezed two steel coins from her pocket and put them in Ale's palm, then took the newspaper out of curiosity, and opened it to read.
This is a piece of paper measuring centimeters by centimeters. There are four large black characters 'Sheba City News' at the top of the newspaper, and the whole paper is divided into four sections: political news, announcements, interesting talks, and business announcements .
Political news refers to the big and small things that happened in Sheba City.Announcements are orders issued by HAD, recruiting personnel, etc.Funny talk, just some market jokes and the like.Advertisement, that is, merchant advertisements, etc.
"Huh? Ryan, Ryan." Li Zao quickly pulled Ryan's sleeve, pointed to the political news in the newspaper, and said in surprise, "Look at the political news, the city lord will build a bridge on the Youshui River, how is this possible what?"
"I'm watching." Ryan frowned and stared at the newspaper, and shook his head after a while, "Building a bridge on the Youshui River, this...maybe, it will probably be successful."
The Youshui River is so wide, and a bridge is built on it. This is undoubtedly Tianfangyetan.But he also thought of the many miraculous abilities of the city lord, and he was not sure if he could succeed.
"Have some common sense, how is this possible." Li Zao rolled her eyes, and walked into the pizzeria with a newspaper.
"Uh..." Ryan scratched his cheeks, and hurriedly stepped into the pizzeria. When he entered, he saw several people, all of whom were reading newspapers.
"A double-meat pizza." Lizao ordered a pizza and immediately read the newspaper.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter stepped back.
"Lian, look here." Li Zao leaned over when Ryan sat down, pointed to the fun talk page and said, "Look here, Miss Annie actually has more than 300 lollipops, and many of them are limited editions. And the most expensive ones cost ten silver coins each, which is too unbelievable."
"Uh..." Ryan was stunned, looked at it seriously, and said helplessly, "It may not be true, this is all marked as an interesting talk, maybe it was written for fun."
"Is that so?" Li Zao frowned, shook her head and said, "Next time I meet Miss Annie, I'll ask if it's true."
"Don't ask, you will be greedy if you ask." Ryan said helplessly.
"Huh? The commercial notices here cost five hundred copper coins for one publication, and it's only for one day, and the value will increase with the sales volume of the newspaper."
Li Zao completely ignored Ryan's words, and asked in surprise, "Will any businessman be willing to publish in the newspaper?"
"Who knows, if I were a businessman who just came to Sheba City, maybe I would give it a try." Ryan sighed, marriage is really a man's purgatory.
He really admired the city lord, even if such a magical thing as a newspaper was produced, the news would definitely circulate quickly.Maybe the government decree will be issued tonight, and the entire Sheba City will know it tomorrow morning.
Chapter 0502 business is difficult.
"Ugh..."
Tori sighed, his business has been getting worse and worse recently, if this continues, his whole family will go to the northwest wind.
His business is clothing business. Fewer and fewer people come to him to buy clothes. He has lowered the price several times, and he can't lower it anymore, otherwise he will lose money.
"Tori, go out for a walk, you have been at home for three days." Tori's wife persuaded, "Maybe there will be inspiration outside?"
"If you don't go, you'll have to spend coins when you go out. I'd better stay at home." Tori shook his head. He looked at his son in his wife's arms. He couldn't spend money extravagantly, otherwise his son would have no money to study in the future.
He reckoned that if the business didn't pick up in a few months, it would have to close, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to pay the rent of the shop.If you don't worry about it now, do you want to go back to find your father in the future?He can't afford to lose this man.
"Why don't you go to Mr. Solo, maybe he can do something." Tori's wife couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw that her husband had lost weight.
"Mr. Solo? He's living a good life now, and he doesn't care about business anymore." Tori shook his head. He guessed that he had overpriced his clothes before, scaring away many civilians.
Even if he has lowered the price now, the common people don't know, how can they come to his store to buy clothes?Do you want him to go to the roadside to yell?He can't afford to lose this person.
