Transporting airships was not only a high-income job, but also a highly technical one—especially airships that had not yet been fitted with their full power sources. They could only float through the air like balloons, dragged along as they moved. To understand just how dangerous this was, one only had to look at the employment fee Henrietta had offered:
Eight hundred thousand Witch Gold after tax.
Even if Jiang Han paid the witches following her the full middle-class wage and the witchlings the full lower-middle-class wage, it would only come to nearly one hundred and sixty thousand. Even if the cats were paid the full lower-middle-class wage, Cat Doyastin's troops would only require one hundred and fifty thousand Witch Gold.
Adding all sorts of expenses along the way, it would probably only cost fifty or sixty thousand at most.
If she could take on this big job, Jiang Han's profits on the Anse Battlefield would rise dramatically. She could even use the money to buy better materials and build wonders! Besides, giant cats, witches, and witchlings did not need to be paid a [full] month's wage; they essentially earned the equivalent of two weeks' pay.
With witches' efficiency, even work of this scale could be completed in two days if they were bold enough. Earning in two days what they normally made in fourteen was highly tempting.
But this time, Jiang Han decided to pay the full amount!
It was not because Jiang Han had such a good conscience, nor because she was so kind-hearted. It was because she felt that without a substantial financial reward for this job, a great many problems would likely arise.
In truth, even an airship shrunk as much as possible with magic was still as enormous as a skyscraper laid flat on its side.
