Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1171, carrot and stick

Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, seven days passed. A long aqueduct appeared on the ground, and the rolling Nile River continued to flow along the aqueduct towards the desert area. Wherever it passed, The Egyptians on both sides of the strait couldn't help cheering and jumping up.

In this ancient land, water means everything, whether it is life or irrigation, water resources are extremely precious here.

"Clang~clang~"

The morning sun lit up the eastern sky, and it was red.

Amidst the ringing of bells, more than [-] laborers woke up smoothly and orderly, washed up, and their sister had a full meal, just as they were about to go to work.

There was an overseer riding a horse, holding a tin horn in his hand, and shouting loudly as he walked: "Everyone gathers, everyone gathers~"

"What is this set for?"

Shreve, like all the workers, felt very surprised. What was this Daming man going to do? Today was a little different from usual. Instead of going to work directly, he asked them to gather first.

"What to do with so much, maybe there is something to arrange."

Aliya didn't pay much attention to it. In seven days, he was used to life here.

The people of Daming treat them very well, they eat enough every meal, and their daily work and rest are very regular, and no one oppresses them, oppressing them, such a life is really comfortable, although the daily work is also very tiring, but it is Very fulfilling.

Soon, a team of [-] people quickly gathered at a flat place, where a platform was set up, and a Ming man in a crimson robe sat on it.

Through these few days of contact, Alia knew that these people were officials of the Ming Dynasty, and their status was very distinguished. They were surrounded by local nobles, officials, and lords in Egypt.

"Quiet~"

Soon, a local person stood on the stage, shouting loudly with a tin horn in his hand.

After his words fell, the more than [-] people in the audience immediately became quiet, and everyone looked at the stage.

Tong Yuan talked to the officials sent by Kansu II, and came to the stage with a smile on his face.

Beside him, there is already a set of iron speakers, which can ensure that Tong Yuan's voice can be clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present.

"Thanks to His Majesty the Great Sultan of Egypt for supporting my work~"

"I also thank Lord Mohammad for his cooperation and strong support in my work~"

"Of course, I would also like to thank the Egyptian laborers present for their hard work and hard work."

"In the past week, with the efforts of everyone, we have successfully built the diversion canal for [-] miles. This is the result of the joint efforts of all of us."

Tong Yuan's voice was very loud, but the Egyptians below couldn't understand it, but whenever Tong Yuan finished speaking, an interpreter immediately translated Tong Yuan's words loudly to the Egyptians present.

Hearing Tong Yuan's words, many Egyptians in the audience couldn't help being slightly excited.

This Daming man speaks nicely.

It was also the first time they heard someone with a dignified status express their gratitude to them.

This surprised many Egyptian workers.

In this era, status and status are very important things. Nobles are nobles, and commoners are commoners. The distinction between high and low is not only true in Ming Dynasty, but even more so here.

The Mamluk Kingdom has ruled here for more than two hundred years, and the system of noble lords has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they have also become accustomed to the superior posture of noble lords.

However, today, the honorable Ming official in front of him expressed his gratitude to them. Coupled with what they saw, saw, and felt these days, many people were moved to the point of crying.

Daming people are really kind to them.

"After seven days of hard work~"

"We also saw a lot of people who worked very hard and worked hard."

"Today, here, we want to reward those who work hard and work hard."

Tong Yuan looked at the dark crowd below, and he was quite proficient in this trick.

When I followed Liu Jin and built the Beijing-Tianjin cement road, this trick was tried and tested. I rewarded those who worked hard and punished those who were lazy and slippery. Work will become harder.

Hearing Tong Yuan's words on the stage, the more than [-] Egyptian laborers below couldn't help talking for a while.

"Is there really a reward?"

Shreve couldn't help but slightly widened his eyes, a little unbelievable, originally thought that the Ming people were lying to them, but he didn't expect that there was really a reward.

"I said before, Daming people don't lie."

Alia emphasized again very definitely.

"I'm thinking of those who want to save face, please come to the front."

"Ramadan worked very hard and worked very hard. Now he has been promoted to be the team leader. He is paid two taels of silver per month. He can live in a separate tent and have meals with the supervisor. This time, he will be rewarded with one tael of silver as a token of appreciation." award!"

As the translator translated Tong Yuan's words, a group of people in the huge team below couldn't help but exclaimed, and soon, a person appeared a little scared and walked onto the stage.

"This is your reward~ Work hard!"

Tong Yuan smiled and put a silver dollar in Ramadan's hand.

"Thank you, thank you sir, thank you sir!"

Ramadan looked at the gleaming silver dollar of Ming Dynasty in his hand, and couldn't help but tremble with excitement. He couldn't help kneeling down and kowtowed continuously.

This is the silver dollar of the Ming Dynasty, and he knows that the silver dollar of the Ming people is a solid currency in Egypt, because the silver content in it is very high, and the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite, and it is very valuable.

Don't look at just this small piece, but you can buy a lot of things. This small piece of silver dollar is enough for Ramadan's family to eat for several months.

"Well, get up and work hard, we Daming people will not treat you badly."

Tong Yuan smiled and nodded.

It's just a silver dollar, which is insignificant at all. It only takes a small reward to make these Egyptians work hard for themselves. This kind of business is very cost-effective.

"Alia, hard-working, hard-working, hard-working, now promoted to team leader, monthly salary of [-] taels of silver, can live in a separate tent, can eat with the supervisor, this time a silver dollar is awarded as a reward!"

Soon, as Tong Yuan called out names one by one, rewarded people came to the stage one by one.

At this time, as the translator translated Tong Yuan's words again, Alia couldn't help being slightly taken aback, as if struck by lightning.

He didn't expect that he would also be able to get the reward, and he was lucky enough to be on stage to receive his own reward under the attention of everyone.

"My lord~ You have been rewarded, Alia!"

Beside Alia, Thrive couldn't help but look at Alia in shock, with an expression of disbelief in satisfaction.

"Oh~"

"He actually got a reward."

Similarly, other familiar people around Alia also opened their mouths wide and exclaimed at the same time.

"Alia, come forward to receive the reward!"

The interpreter shouted again.

Alia, who was slightly dazed, was pushed by Shreve, and immediately came to the stage excitedly.

Alia respectfully knelt down to Tong Yuan, and she was very excited.

"This is your reward, do it well!"

Tong Yuan put a silver dollar into Alia's hand with a smile on his face.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir, thank you sir!"

Alia kowtowed excitedly, and the silver dollar in her hand seemed to be as heavy as Mount Tai.

This was the first time he had received so much money. He had worked as a porter at the dock and knew very well the great purchasing power of this Ming silver dollar. A small silver dollar was enough to buy enough food for their family for several months.

Of course, at this moment, he felt that the most important thing was that he, a small commoner, was able to receive the advent in front of more than [-] people. He was so nervous that he couldn't speak, and he was so nervous that he didn't know what to do .

Fortunately, someone in front took the lead, so he followed suit, kneeling down with great respect, and constantly expressing his thanks.

A silver dollar in his hand is nothing, he will be the team leader from now on, he can eat with the supervisor, or live in his own tent, and he can get two silver dollars as a reward every month.

Thinking of this, Aliya trembled even more excitedly.

Two silver dollars a month, this is an income that was unimaginable before.

This kind of income is enough to easily support his family, and he can save a lot of money. He can even buy some land and re-own his own land.

Thinking of this, Aliya trembled with excitement. When she walked down, she felt a little unsteady, excited, nervous, and excited, a feeling she had never experienced before. At the same time, her heart was full of hope for the future. Hope and light.

One by one, the people whose names were read continued to come to the stage to receive their rewards. For the first time, more than [-] people were promoted and rewarded. When these people returned to the crowd, the people around couldn't help being excited , Looking at the silver dollars in their hands, their eyes shone even more.

"Some people work hard, but there are also some people who eat enough to eat every day. Not only do they not work hard, they are lazy and slippery, and they even collude with the township party to dominate here and bully other kind-hearted workers~ "

After the reward was over, Tong Yuan changed the subject and immediately began the punishment phase.

"Waleed, being lazy every day, sleeping in tents, colluding with fellow villagers, bullying co-workers, not queuing for meals, not serious about things~"

"Now, officially expelled and handed over to the Egyptian government for disposal!"

Following Tong Yuan's words, the Walid was soon found out and sent directly to the Egyptian officials. The Egyptian officials didn't even bother to look at it, so they were killed directly.

"The construction of the canal is related to the cooperation between His Majesty the Great Sultan and the Ming Empire. Anyone who steals, cheats, or does not work seriously is a betrayal of the Great Sultan, and the only end for betrayers is death!"

The voice of the Egyptian officials was very loud and clearly transmitted to every corner present.

Many Egyptian laborers couldn't help shivering immediately. Compared with the Ming people, these Egyptian nobles, lords and officials were the ones who made them most afraid. In addition to the headless corpse lying next to them, all of these people present Everyone knew exactly what to do next.

　My son has been discharged from the hospital, and will resume normal updates tomorrow~
