Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    September of the third year of Longqing.

    The golden wind blows across Tamna Island, unconsciously dyeing the maple, camphor and other trees on Halla Mountain into rich colors of golden, light yellow and rich green.

    The oranges all over the mountains and fields are red, the cattle, sheep and horses are fattened, and the crops are ripe. Tamna Island has arrived at the most pleasant harvest season.

    The official slaves and exiles of the Li Dynasty on the island also had rare smiles on their faces.  Although all the gains have nothing to do with them, in this season, the masters will always let them have enough to eat.  Not only are the whole grain rice balls adequate, but you can even see minced fish meat in the brown rice porridge, and occasionally you can even eat a little smoked horse meat.

    This year, for the first time, the gentlemen were allowed to eat cold noodles and miso soup, which are top delicacies that cannot be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

    It is said that it is because the Chinese adults have rented two areas on the island to build port warehouses or something.  Not only did he pay a lot of rent, he also purchased various supplies in large quantities from the island's gentlemen, making them all rich.

    This guess should be more reliable, because standing at the southern foot of Halla Mountain and looking towards the seaside, you can see the new long wall.

    Many wanderers who graze cattle on the mountain have witnessed with their own eyes the entire process of the wall growing taller and longer every day.  It was a hundred times faster than when they built the county town!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When the Dajing County town with a radius of only 400 feet was rebuilt, it took the entire county's servants, under the leadership of craftsmen, more than a year to complete the repair.

    It only took more than a month for this ten-mile-long city wall to be laid before their eyes.  And it is much higher than the county city wall next to it.

    They originally thought that Dajeong County was the third largest city in the world after Jeju Muchong and the Royal Capital.  I've always been very proud of it.

    Now, against the backdrop of the high wall, the great county suddenly became cramped and insignificant, which made them very sad.

    But soon, they burst out with a stronger sense of pride because of the high wall.

    Although this great city wall was man-made by the Celestial Empire, our dynasty is the son of the Ming Dynasty, so this city wall is equivalent to ours!

    ¡°Besides being proud, they are also eager to go inside the wall and see what the Chinese people are doing.  How lucky and honored it would be to be selected to work for the people of China like those lucky ones.

    In fact, their freedom was only restricted by the men of the Li Dynasty.  The three gates on the long wall are all open during the day, and the guards do not prevent any islanders from entering.  Moreover, it is clearly posted on the notice board next to the doorway that everyone is welcome to do business, work and settle here legally.

    Oh, by the way, the name here is now ¡®Xingang City¡¯.

    ??~~

    Xingang City within the long wall has nothing to do with prosperity. It can only be said to be a busy construction site.

    Throughout Xingang City, more than 10,000 workers are working hard.

    The main force of construction is the engineering team transferred from Chongming Island by Jiangnan Group.  They have built cities and embankments, so they have rich experience.  And the most important thing is that it has been integrated into the Jiangnan Group's system, and its obedience and labor initiative are unparalleled.

    In this regard, Zhao Hao¡¯s employee ranking system has played a huge role.  Thousands of temporary workers were promised when they signed up that as long as they performed well, they could become regular workers when the Xingang City project was completed.  Once they become regular employees, they can enjoy the benefits of regular employees, such as medical insurance, seniority promotion and other advantages. Naturally, they have to work hard.

    The regular employees who serve as team leaders and captains do not dare to be careless at all, lest they make a mistake and be demoted or even fired.

    In this era where there is no guarantee of life, old age, illness or death, the sense of security that Jiangnan Group provides to its employees is enough to make them willing to sacrifice everything for it.

    ??~~

    In addition to the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, there were also two thousand official slaves and exiles from the Li Dynasty, who were sent to work for the Jiangnan Group as agreed.

    From the moment these people step into this long wall, they are overseas employees of Jiangnan Group.

    ¡°The name ¡®overseas workers¡¯ sounds very foreign, but both wages and benefits are much lower than those of temporary workers from Ming Dynasty.

    ¡°And they also had to hand over 70% of their income to the officials of the Li Dynasty.  But these official slaves and homeless people are already very satisfied.

    ¡°Many people who have been servants of officials for generations have never had an income of their own when they grew up.  When they worked for a month and received a stack of small silver coupons from Master Tianchao, they didn't know how to spend them.

    The employees of Daming who were responsible for managing these overseas employees were dumbfounded. They?The chicken is roasted.  I am simply the number one official slave in the universe Oh no, I am now a hired servant of the Heavenly Kingdom, hahahaha!

    Che Zhuzi thought with pleasure that the captain also told them that when they become regular overseas employees in the future, their salary will rise to one thousand cash per month.  And their split with the government will also become 50-50.  This means that they can earn 500 cash per month.

    If you can continue to work hard for the company, you may even have the opportunity to become a naturalized citizen of Ming Dynasty in the future and become a full-time employee of Jiangnan Group.  At that time, they can completely get rid of their status as official slaves of the Li Dynasty and become a part of the Celestial Kingdom.

    By then, the hard-earned wages will no longer have to be distributed to the men of the Li Dynasty Oh no, I will be the master of the Celestial Dynasty by then, and they will still be the masters of shit!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
