Converted to currency, it's just his reduced profit of four hundred pounds of fine salt.

This small amount is nothing to him.

But for Master Lynn, he can gain a workforce of a hundred people!

With a hundred laborers, Master Lynn can have them produce more weapons and armor.

He can also have them engage in planting, yielding more food.

Furthermore, he can train them as soldiers to guard the security of the territory...

Holland's eyebrows suddenly raised.

Upon hearing this, he already understood Boer's intention.

Holland did not say anything else, responded briefly, and withdrew.

A short while later.

At the entrance of the chamber, Holland and his personnel erected an employment booth.

Two passing townsmen looked at the large word 'Employment' written on the linen cloth and approached curiously.

"Sir, are you recruiting workers for the chamber?"

Holland looked up at the reasonably robust middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Hiring for any position!"

"Farmers, craftsmen, clerks, stewards, and even some soldiers!"

Listening to Holland's words, the eyebrows of the two townsmen raised, piquing their interest further.

"Hiring so many?"

"Isn't this for the chamber?"

"What's the pay?"

Holland patiently explained, "It's consistent with the current market hiring rates."

"For a farmer, one penny a day, craftsmen are determined based on their ability, either two pence or three pence."

The initially intrigued two townsmen suddenly lost interest.

"Sir, don't you know? Food prices have gone up!"

"Yeah, the hiring rates are still the same as before, who would want to go?"

"Working hard all day, yet can't afford even a pound of barley?"

Holland remained unfazed, explaining calmly.

"The pences you earn every day... that's extra pay, the lord hiring you provides meals and accommodation!"

Upon hearing Boer's words.

The two townsmen who were about to leave halted their footsteps.

They widened their eyes, staring at Holland.

"Sir... you... no, you're saying that in addition to meals and housing, there's still daily wages?"

Holland nodded, "Yes."

"Three meals a day, including meat in the food, the residence is newly constructed red brick and gray tile houses."

"The lord will provide furniture, sheets, and clothing..."

Although Holland had never seen it with his own eyes, through Boer's continuous descriptions, he could recite it fluently.

Upon hearing this.

The hearts of the two townsmen began to pound faster.

Even without Holland mentioning the subsequent items, merely having meals, housing, a place to live, and wages.

Was enough to tempt them.

The robust middle-aged man took a step forward, standing firmly in front of Holland.

"Sir, my name is Nelson Fletcher, I've just completed a labor contract with Theodore Manor Lord, I am now free."

"I want to go to the place you mentioned and work!"

Holland nodded, "Certainly, Mr. Nelson."

"You can come to the chamber entrance to gather before starting work tomorrow morning."

"We will have someone take you to the territory where you'll work!"

Nelson Fletcher nodded heavily, "Thank you, sir."

Holland responded.

As for whether Nelson Fletcher would show up at the chamber entrance tomorrow morning.

He did not need to worry at all.

The employment agreements in Morgan Town are built fundamentally on verbal agreements.

Through face-to-face interactions, the work details, pay, work duration, and other terms are agreed upon.

These verbal agreements often rely on the reputation of both parties and local traditions.

Reputation is their sole capital for finding work and surviving.

The crucial point is that the vast majority of townsmen in the small town are illiterate, rarely needing written contracts.

Watching his companion establish the employment agreement with the silk-clad nobleman in front of them, the man beside him was also eager.

However.

He still cautiously asked, "Sir, are you just recruiting on behalf of other lords?"

"In other words, the person making the final hiring decision isn't you?"

Holland didn't hide anything and replied, "Yes, not me hiring."

"But the wages after employment will be distributed by our Chamber of Commerce President Boer Hansen!"

Upon hearing Boer Hansen's name.

The questioning townsman no longer had any doubts.

"Since Master Boer guarantees it, there's nothing to worry about."

"Sir, I also want to join the employment, and I want to sign up my brother and uncle together."

"Do you think that's possible?"

Holland smiled, "Of course, this hiring has few restrictions."

"As long as they're capable of working, even women, there's no issue."

The two townsmen, upon hearing this, were even more surprised.

"Sir, you mean, we can bring our wives along?"

"Though they aren't physically as strong as us, they can still work, and can cook meals!"

Holland nodded, "Certainly, gentlemen."

Standing on the second-floor corridor, Boer naturally saw the entire employment process unfold.

He looked down at Holland and the others and said, "Not just your wives, your children can also come along."

Upon hearing this sudden statement, Holland and the two townsmen looked up.
