Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, seven days passed. A long aqueduct appeared on the earth. The rolling Nile water continued to flow along the aqueduct toward the desert area. Wherever it passed, Egyptians on both sides of the Taiwan Strait couldn't help but cheered.
In this ancient land, water means everything. Whether it is life or irrigation, water resources are extremely precious here.
¡°Dang~dang~¡±
The early morning sun lit up the eastern sky, turning it red.
Amidst the ringing of bells, more than 20,000 workers got up smoothly and orderly, washed themselves, had a good meal, and were about to get ready to go to work.
There was a supervisor on horseback, holding a tin trumpet in his hand and shouting loudly as he walked: "Everyone gather, everyone gather~"
"What are we gathering for?"
Sirif, like all the workers, was very surprised. What did the Ming people want to do? Today was a little different from usual. Instead of going to work directly, they were asked to assemble first.
"There are so many things to do, maybe there is something to arrange."
Alia didn¡¯t pay too much attention. In seven days, he had become accustomed to the life here.
The people of Ming Dynasty treat them very well. They eat well every meal, and their daily schedule is very regular. No one bullies or oppresses them. Life like this is really comfortable. Although the daily work is also very tiring, it is Very fulfilling.
Soon, a team of 20,000 people quickly gathered on a flat ground. A platform was set up here, and a Ming Dynasty man wearing a crimson robe sat on it.
Through the contacts in the past few days, Alya knew that these people were all officials of the Ming Dynasty, with very distinguished status. They were surrounded by local Egyptian nobles, officials, and lords.
"Quiet~"
Soon, a local stood on the stage, holding a tin trumpet in his hand and shouting loudly.
As his words fell, the more than 20,000 people in the audience immediately became quiet, and everyone looked towards the stage.
Tong Yuan spoke to the officials sent by Kansu II and came to the stage with a smile on his face.
Next to him, there are iron speakers arranged to ensure that Tong Yuan¡¯s voice is clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present.
¡°Thank you to His Majesty the Great Sultan of Egypt for supporting my work~¡±
¡°I would also like to thank Sir Mohammed for his cooperation and strong support for my work~¡±
¡°Of course, I would also like to thank the Egyptian workers present for their hard work and efforts.¡±
"In the past week, with the efforts of everyone, we have successfully built 20 miles of diversion canals. This is the result of the joint efforts of all of us."
Tong Yuan¡¯s voice was very loud, but the Egyptians below could not understand it. However, every time Tong Yuan finished speaking, a translator immediately translated Tong Yuan¡¯s words loudly to the Egyptians present.
Hearing Tong Yuan¡¯s words, many Egyptians in the audience couldn¡¯t help but feel slightly excited.
This Ming Dynasty man speaks very nicely.
It was also the first time that they heard someone with a distinguished status express gratitude to them.
This surprised many Egyptian workers.
In this era, status is very important. Nobles are nobles, and common people are common people. The order of superiority and inferiority, and the distinction between high and low, are not only the case in the Ming Dynasty, but even more so here.
The Mamluk Kingdom has ruled here for more than two hundred years. The system of noble lords has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they have become accustomed to the aloof attitude of the noble lords.
However, today, the distinguished Ming official in front of them expressed his gratitude to them. Coupled with what they had seen, seen and felt these days, many people were moved to tears.
The people of Ming Dynasty are really good to them.
"After seven days of hard work~"
¡°We have also seen many people who work very hard and work 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 first followed Liu Jin, when building cement roads in Beijing and Tianjin, this trick was tried and tested. It rewarded those who worked hard and punished those who were lazy and slippery. This was natural. There was no need to supervise or urge the workers when working. Everyone You will work harder.
After hearing what Tong Yuan said on the stage, the followingThinking of this, Alya trembled with excitement. As she walked down, her whole person felt a little unsteady, excited, nervous, and excited. It was a feeling that she had never experienced before. At the same time, her whole heart was full of hope for the future. of hope and light.
People whose names were read continued to come up to the stage to receive their awards. For the first time, more than thirty people received promotions and awards. When these people returned to the crowd, the people around them could not help but be extremely excited. , looking at the silver dollars in their hands, their eyes shone even more.
"Some people work actively and hard, but there are also some people who have enough to eat every day. Not only do they not work hard, they are lazy and idle, and they even collude with the township party to dominate here and bully other kind-hearted workers~ "
After the reward was completed, Tong Yuan changed the subject and immediately began the punishment phase.
"Waleed, he is lazy and skiing every day, sleeping in tents, colluding with fellow villagers, bullying co-workers, not lining up for meals, and not taking things seriously~"
¡°Now, we will officially expel him and hand him over to the Egyptian authorities for disposal!¡±
As Tong Yuan finished speaking, the Walid man was quickly picked out and sent directly to the Egyptian officials. The Egyptian officials didn't even bother to look at it and just had them killed.
"The construction of the canal is related to the cooperation between His Majesty the Great Sultan and the Ming Empire. Anyone who cheats and does not work seriously is betraying the great Sultan, and the only fate for betrayers is death!"
The Egyptian officials¡¯ voices were very loud and clearly reached every corner of the room.
Many Egyptian workers couldn't help but tremble. Compared with the Ming Dynasty people, these Egyptian nobles, lords, officials, etc. were the ones that scared them. Coupled with the headless corpse lying next to them, none of these people present Everyone knows clearly what they dare to do next. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
