Developments in the camp intensified.

Another month passed, and Jenkins began to abuse his power more and more.

As a new bourgeoisie that has mastered the means of production, he began unprecedented, unrestricted and unscrupulous exploitation of the working class.

First, workers are forced to work.

He thought very smart about this. He had already gained the acquiescence of the nobles, so who else in the camp could he not afford to offend next?

It's very simple. The superintendent is Lu En himself.

How to please Lu En? Of course, it is to complete the construction of the entire barracks.

Yes, he has stepped in and replaced the work of those managers, and now these managers must also rely on him for food and water.

Lu En had foreseen this scene a long time ago. This was what he should have done. Whose dogs were these managers originally?

They are the dogs of the aristocratic class.

What is the difference between the aristocracy and the current Jenkins?

The answer is that there is no difference at all. They are all the class that has mastered the means of production. These managers are born as petty bourgeoisie. They have management skills, but they do not have their own means of production and laborers.

But because most of the jobs they are engaged in are managing the most basic working class, they are naturally inclined to the upper class of society in terms of camp, and their basic position is inclined to the bourgeoisie.

So they can easily become lackeys. They used to be the lackeys of the nobles, but now the masters of production tools in the camp are actually the technician class, so they have become Jenkins' dogs.

The campground...seems to be back to normal.

The workers returned to their previous lives, and Jenkins did not take back their masks. After all, the boss personally arranged to distribute them, and he did not dare to take them.

Under his arrangement, workers gradually went into production, but not all of them were for the construction of the water plant.

Most of the workers... mined the private property of the nobles on Jenkins' head.

He was very smart. He asked half of the workers to do normal aquatic mining work and the other half to do profit-making. He privately got in touch with a nobleman. There is a specialty mineral in hell called Bitie.

It is named after that miserable green color that makes one's scalp numb. It is thinner and stronger than ordinary steel. Although it does not reach an extraordinary level, it is indeed worth the money as a piece of equipment for a normal standing army. The demon army in hell is basically

They are all standard Bi-Tie equipment.

Therefore, after he got on the line with the noble, the other party paid for the purchase of the blue iron, and he used drinking water and a certain amount of wages to bribe those workers and let them be responsible for digging the blue iron ore.

Later, he used it for public and private purposes, using the alchemy furnace originally used to refine the framework of the water plant to refine jade iron.

Of course, it is not cost-effective to mine Bi Iron on a large scale. Although this thing is indeed very useful, it is in hell after all. This is not a high-value product like Hell Ice, and it is not worth spending the price of the portal to do this.

The real value is that the noble has a unique alchemy formula, which seems to require refined jade iron as a base for refining, so the two parties hit it off and enriched themselves in public.

Everything is peaceful.

The camp is now quite quiet and diligent. It is different from the lazy atmosphere before. The familiar whips of the workers are back, and the managers are also familiar with what they used to do in the past.

Things like the two-hour work day.

In the view of these managers, with masks, the treatment is good enough, and of course they need to be returned to other places! The masks themselves can prevent them from being suffocated by dust, so of course the per capita working hours must be increased, otherwise

Wouldn’t it be a huge loss?

Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, and with Jenkins' acquiescence, the work became increasingly arduous.

Lu En still looked at it like this for half a month.

For half a month, he and Kara stayed on the top of the mountain, neither showing up nor sending messages.

At this time, even the nobles were a little bit murmuring.

These noble ladies don't know why the King of Monsters hasn't appeared for three months in a row! Three months is a very long time for them.

They ignored it for three months. They originally wanted to deliberately ignore it, use other people's hands to make the camp a mess, and then delay the progress, so as to report to the superiors and let the big shots from above deal with the king of monsters.

But now they are wondering, does the King of Monsters think they are easy to bully, so he just ignored them after giving them a meal? In this case, wouldn't it be nice for them to take action now and regain control of the situation immediately?

But is that really what happened?

Who can be sure?

No one dares. They are all paralyzed and dare not take action easily. If they take over now and the King of Monsters comes back and slightly provokes the workers' emotions, the camp will definitely turn into a pile of ruins. Then they will be fully responsible.

That's right, because they took over without permission, did not learn their lesson after being reprimanded, and continued to interfere. Instead, the progress of the project was greatly extended. They must bear all the blame and may lose their inheritance rights.

So pretending not to care is the best choice. They use Jenkins to secretly control the situation, making profits for their family or private individuals while allowing things to continue to develop. Anyway, they don't interfere, they just don't stick to the pot.

The abacus of the aristocratic children was rattling, but unfortunately, Lu En didn't care at all. As long as these aristocratic children did not interfere, no matter what they did, it would be within Lu En's plan.

What if they intervened?

Then they should die.

But now is not the time. Lu En can clearly see that although these workers have escaped from extreme laziness, they have only returned to the status quo. They can still accept the status quo.

Even... they are happy to accept the status quo, and they don't think there is anything wrong with this. From birth to now, they have always thought that this is how work is done.

They are not unable to live, and have no motivation to resist. Let them fight for the hope of the future, and they would rather choose to live in the present.

So still have to wait.

On the other side, Jenkins became more and more swollen, and he began to be a little dissatisfied with the status quo.

It is true that the current situation is that the nobles use him to make money, but the benefits he gets are only the water and the filial piety of the workers. Because of the substantial increase in working hours, the casinos are basically closed, and there is no free time.

, of course no one comes to gamble.

But in this way, the majority of Bitie's profit was basically made by the nobles. Although he didn't know how much the price was lowered, Jenkins understood that he could get 5% because the other party had shown kindness, and it was very likely that he only got one.

A little bit of oil residue, a fraction.

He has to find a way to earn some money on his own.

How to earn it?

Aren’t we only working for twelve hours now? What will happen if we work for one more hour? It’s just from nine in the morning to nine in the evening, plus one hour, till ten. Is there any problem?

There is no problem at all. Anyway, they have to brag and spank for a while before going to bed. There is no day and night change in hell. One extra hour is added every day. The craftsmanship is all their own, perfect!

So, this is how it was implemented.

The workers got an extra hour of working time.

It’s only an hour, it’s nothing~.

Jenkins' private wealth began to grow as he launched a new business.

After intense work, the workers were now beginning to get tired and sick, so he contacted the doctors in the technician class to start with medical treatment.

Anyone who needs treatment should follow the normal diagnosis and treatment, take the medicine normally, and then send the bill later.

What? Don’t you give me money for medical treatment? How shameless? If you have the ability, you won’t treat me!

Don’t have money? It’s easy, just go to the management office and make an order——

The managers that Jenkins had previously won over came into play at this time. They could directly transfer the "life money" paid by the empire to the workers to Jenkins, allowing his gold coins to continue to grow.

At the same time, those doctors who were willing to help received large sums of money, while those who were unwilling to do such immoral things were collectively boycotted.

Some doctors want to show their kindness and are willing to treat patients for free.

But soon, their kindness was destroyed by the influx of workers. They examined hundreds of patients every day, and most of them came with the intention of taking advantage. They would rush over at the slightest illness or injury, for fear of causing serious problems.

Was charged money.

This led to fewer and fewer doctors who were willing to be kind, and eventually they disappeared quickly, and all patients had to pay a lot of money to see Jenkins.

Originally, their work was extremely hard, and they were prone to injuries, especially injuries. They often suffered serious injuries if they were not careful in the mines. Now this kind of medical monopoly has caused a large amount of their hard-earned wages to be eroded.

Jenkins devours.

After monopolizing the means of production, they then monopolized medical care.

Days like this went on for another half a year.

Half a year has passed.

The first dead person appears.

Because he had not slept for a long time, the worker fell down in the mine and hit his head on a sharp stone.

Jenkins seemed to see something. When everyone else felt sad, Jenkins stood up.

He stood in front of everyone and cried to them sadly, saying that he had lost a good brother.

He said that they were actually the same, they were all brothers who would live together in hell for ten years, but everyone had misunderstood him before.

He said that if he wanted to send the body of the deceased home, he was willing to contribute a sum of money, and everyone could donate freely and anonymously, but he only hoped that the brothers who worked together could return to their hometown.

He spoke affectionately, and then took out a large amount of money, which accounted for two-thirds of the cost of opening the portal, and promised that he would pay this much if anything like this happens in the future.

Many people's impression of him has changed.

Then, he began to collect donations and prepare for his return home, saying that the extra money would be returned intact to the family members of the deceased.

Then came a bunch of operations, and money started to flow, just like... Lu En had seen before.

The workers began to think that Jenkins was a man of conscience and that he might be trustworthy.
To be continued...
