Chapter 298 Draw a big pie
Zhang Jingyi thought to himself: Sure enough, things like nationalism and patriotism were not as popular in the Middle Ages as they were in my world.

Not to mention Europe, the same was true in the Middle Ages in Heaven.

Ordinary people have no idea about concepts like "fighting for the country". In most cases, they join the army to "protect their homes" or to make money.

It doesn't matter who pays the military pays and for whom you fight, whether you are good or evil or which country you are from.

This was a common practice in that era when education was underdeveloped.

Zhang Jingyi smiled: "Tsk! Then I have something to say. It doesn't matter where you make money. Since you joined the Desert Kingdom's army to earn military pay, why don't you stay with me and work for me in the future? You can also make money."

Lizardmen: "We are captives now. Last time you said we were still atonement."

Zhang Jingyi: "I mean after the gambling crime is completed."

Zhang Jingyi immediately used the most skilled empty-shell tricks used by his boss in his own world. When he was working as a handyman at Ningyang Technology Co., Ltd., he had heard department managers make empty-shell tricks many times. Now, he only needed to learn 10% of the manager's empty-shell tricks, and that would be enough.

Zhang Jingyi: "Lizardmen, I told you last time that you will be paid during the period of atonement."

The lizard people nodded. Of course they would not forget this. They remembered it very clearly. Zhang Jingyi said that 7% of the fruits of their labor would be used to atone their sins, and 3% would belong to them.

Zhang Jingyi said, "Look, being a captive here already earns you money. After you redeem your sins and become civilians, won't you earn more? I'm sure this income is much more than what you can earn as a soldier in the Desert Kingdom."

This seems to make sense.

The lizardmen began to whisper to each other. They didn't earn much as soldiers in the Desert Kingdom, because the Desert Kingdom was originally a poor country. Both the government and the civilians were extremely poor...

Workers in poor countries also have low incomes!

Zhang Jingyi: "After you redeem your sins, you can stay here and work for me to earn a lot of money. Moreover, if there is a war, you can put down your fishing nets and take up arms to fight. I guarantee that you will get more military pay than the Desert Kingdom."

Zhang Jingyi's big pie was drawn in a flash: "The income here is higher than yours in China, and the prices here are lower than yours. We will increase income and reduce expenditure at the same time. In the future, your life will be much better than it is now, and everyone will be able to live a prosperous life."

As he was talking, Zhang Jingyi took out a bottle of seafood soy sauce and said, "Look, this is a kind of spice. It's very expensive in your place, right?"

He casually picked up a shrimp, soaked it in soy sauce, and stuffed it into the hand of the lizard man in front of him: "Try it."

The lizard man took the shrimp, put it in his mouth, and the expression on his face suddenly became very interesting.

They were used to eating plain shrimps without any seasoning, but when they suddenly tasted shrimps dipped in seafood sauce, the taste was completely subversive.

"Everyone come and try it." Zhang Jingyi used a bottle of seafood soy sauce to dip the shrimps and let each of the lizardmen standing in the front try one.

Lizardmen: "Delicious, very delicious."

"What's the point of it being delicious? You couldn't afford it before." Zhang Jingyi said to the lizardmen: "You can work in the Desert Kingdom for your whole life and still not be able to afford this bottle of spice in my hand."

This is the truth!

The price of spices was sky-high, and ordinary people could only look up at them.

All the lizardmen turned green.

"But it will be different if you work for me." Zhang Jingyi changed the subject: "I can assure you that if you work for me, it won't be long before you can afford something like this." The boss finally put the finishing touches on his big plan.

The lizards perked up: "Really? We can really afford this?"

Zhang Jingyi: "Of course it's true! I value fairness the most. I will make sure that your labor is fairly paid, and you will be much richer than before. You haven't had much contact with me, so you may not believe me yet, but I will give you a small example, and you will be able to see my character..."

Having said that, Zhang Jingyi deliberately paused to let the lizards think for a few seconds.

Then he raised the empty soy sauce bottle in his hand and said, "Let me ask you, among all the noble lords you have seen before, is there any one who would give expensive spices to a group of captives for free?"

Lizardman: “!!!”

Yup!

Although the lizards were not as smart as humans, they had grasped the key point at this moment. They had never seen a master who treated captives well before! Not to mention a group of captured slaves, even if they were civilians, the noble masters would not give them expensive spices for free.

The Mr. Zhang in front of them was undoubtedly the most generous and magnanimous person they had ever seen in their lives.

I have never met such a good person before, and it may be difficult to meet another one in the future.

This is the noble person in the lizard’s life!
What is the most important thing in life? It is to meet a noble person, hold on to his thighs, and let him take you flying. Otherwise, you will never be able to change your fate.

The few lizardmen who were just thinking about escaping suddenly gave up the idea.

Where life is not life?

Since life here is better, I definitely don’t want to go back to the desert.

"Well, get to work."

Zhang Jingyi could feel that the emotions had been mobilized. This group of lizardmen would work hard to help him catch seafood. The wages of these workers were much lower than those of the fishermen in his own world. It was simply a profitable business.

Just fix it!

I saw a lizard man suddenly dived into the water. After a while, he floated up holding an abalone as big as a bowl. He took out a knife and cut off all the tentacles of the abalone, instantly turning it into an ordinary big abalone.

He even asked Zhang Jingyi foolishly, "Mr. Zhang, how much money can I get for digging such a big abalone?"

Zhang Jingyi: "10 copper coins! 6 of them will be used as war reparations to atone for your sins, and the remaining 4 will be yours to keep... When the war reparations are paid and you become a free man, I will give you all 10 copper coins."

The lizard man was delighted: "For such a small abalone, they actually paid me 10 copper coins. Oh my God! Oh my God!"

The lizardman next to him was also delighted: "If we catch a big abalone, won't we get a lot of money?"

The reward was far beyond their imagination.

It’s even bigger than the one Zhang Jingyi just drew. It’s like a giant pie in the face.

However, they didn't know that the abalone as big as a bowl had been exchanged for a large lump of gold in Zhang Jingyi's world.
