September of the third year of Longqing.

The golden wind blew across Danluo Island, and before he knew it, he dyed various trees such as maple trees, camphor trees and other trees on Hannah Mountain into rich colors of golden, light yellow and dark green intertwined.

The oranges all over the mountains are red, the cattle, sheep and horses are fat, and the crops are ripe. Danluo Island has reached the most pleasant harvest season.

The Li Dynasty servants and the wandering people on the island also had a rare smile on their faces. Although all the harvest had nothing to do with them, at this time, the men would always let them have enough food. Not only could they have enough coarse grain rice dumplings, but they could even see ground fish in brown rice porridge, and occasionally some smoked horse meat.

This year, the men made it even more unforgettable, allowing them to eat cold noodles and soy sauce soup, which is a top delicacy that they can’t even eat during the Chinese New Year.

It is said that because the adults of the Celestial Empire rented two places on the island to build port warehouses and other things. Not only did they pay a lot of rent, they also purchased a large amount of supplies from the men on the island, making them all rich.

This guess should be more reliable, because standing on the southern foot of Mount Hanna, you can see the long and newly emerging wall.

Many people grazing on the mountain witnessed the whole 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, which is only 400 feet in radius, it took more than a year for the people of the county to repair it under the leadership of craftsmen.

This ten-mile-long city wall was already in front of them after only more than a month. It was much higher than the county wall next to it.

They originally thought that Dajing County was the third largest city in the world except for Jeju Mucheng and the royal capital. They have always been very proud of it.

Now, against the backdrop of the high walls, the great county town suddenly became cramped and obscene, which made them very sad.

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

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

But while they were proud, they also wanted to go inside the wall to see what the people of the Celestial Empire were doing. What a lucky and honorable thing that would be to be selected to work for the people of the Celestial Empire like those lucky people.

In fact, their freedom was only imprisoned by the men of Li Dynasty. The three gates on the long wall were open during the day, and the guards did not stop any islanders from entering. Moreover, the notice board next to the door was clearly posted, and everyone was welcome to come here to do business, work and settle down legally.

Oh, by the way, the name here is now called "Xinggang City".

~~

Xingang City within the long wall is not related to the prosperity, and can only be said to be a busy construction site.

There are more than 10,000 workers working hard in the entire city of Xingang.

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

In this regard, Zhao Hao's employee rank system has played a huge role. Thousands of temporary workers have been promised when registering. As long as they perform well, they can become regular when the project in Xingang City is completed. Once they become regular, they can enjoy the benefits, medical insurance, annual qualification promotion and other superior conditions of formal employees, so they naturally have to work hard.

As the team leader, the formal employees who are the captains dare not be careless at all, for fear of making mistakes and being demoted or even expelled.

In this era of unsecured birth, old age, sickness and death, the sense of security provided by Jiangnan Group to its employees is enough to make them willing to give everything for it.

~~

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

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

The title of "Overseas Employee" sounds very fashionable, but both salary and welfare benefits are much lower than temporary workers from the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, they had to hand over 70% of their income to the Li Dynasty's official master. But these officials, slaves and miserables were already extremely content.

Many people who have been officials and servants for generations have never had their own income when they grew up. When they worked for a month and received a stack of small silver vouchers from the Lord of the Celestial Empire, they didn't know how to spend it.

The Ming employees who were responsible for managing these overseas hires were stunned. For the first time, they knew that there were really people in this world who didn’t know how the money was spent.

In fact, these employees from the Heavenly Dynasty were fussing. Even if overseas employees had never eaten pork or saw pigs running, they just couldn't accept that piece of paper could be used as money.

Even in the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty, there are people in the countryside who do not recognize silver bills. If they give copper coins to these overseas workers, do you think they know how to spend them?

The employees of the Ming Dynasty told these poor Li Chao people that they could use these silver notes to buy things in shops in Xingang City or eat in restaurants...

However, Jiangnan Bank has not been opened on the island yet, so it cannot be exchanged into silver for the time being.

Fortunately, although Xingang City is still a large construction site and the streets and municipalities are under construction, there are nearly 10,000 workers in the city who are definitely high-income Ming Dynasty workers in the city. Naturally, it attracted many merchants of the Li Dynasty, opening restaurants, shops, bathhouses, casinos, kilns, etc. here...

However, the casino was cleaned up shortly after it was opened. Mr. Zhao specifically instructed that the city of Xingang would crack down on bets and bets. Not only should the public bets be banned, the underground casino was also the target of severe crackdown by the Xingang Police Station.

This Xingang City is a place where the Li Dynasty’s law cannot control. The City Council Arbitration Tribunal can directly sentence you to death...

~~

After hearing what the adults of the Celestial Empire did, the Li Dynasty workers still did not dare to set foot in the shops opened by the people of the dynasty.

Because elsewhere, the shops opened by the Li Dynasty people were forbidden from entering, and they were not sure whether the men of this dynasty recognized such small pieces of paper.

So they rushed to the canteen of Jiangnan Group, because in addition to free meals, they also sold some fruits, meat, wine, etc.

When they timidly handed the silver coupons in their hands to the Tianchao saleswoman behind the counter, the saleswoman did not accept the money and asked them what they wanted to buy?

The hired workers were stunned, not that they couldn't understand Chinese at all.

In fact, half of them were exiled in the early days of the Yuan Dynasty and the country, and their daily lives were naturally spoken by Han people. Moreover, most of the officials and slaves were senior officials of the Li Dynasty. Even if they were in their generation, they could not study Chinese in class. But after hearing and hearing, they could at least speak Chinese.

"What can I buy?" They really haven't bought anything.

"You can buy as long as you have enough money." The saleswoman pointed to the label on the shelf behind her and said: "A roast chicken is twenty cents, a pound of sauce beef thirty cents, a pound of pork head meat thirty cents, a pound of beef thirty cents, a pound of beef thirty cents, a pound of beef thirty cents, a pound of pig's large intestine is fifteen cents..."

In addition, there are various seafood, which are very cheap because they are all cooked nearby.

As for wine, the rice wine shipped from the Ming Dynasty is expensive, and the local rice wine is cheap... But in short, they are all within reasonable prices. This is originally intended to improve the food of employees, not to make money. It is naturally good and cheap, and it is very affordable. It can basically be sold out every day.

Although the Li Chao hired workers didn't have much money and only had two or three hundred yuan, they could buy more than a dozen roast chickens or thirty smoked fish, which was enough for them to improve their originally very hard life at home.

When they handed out silver coupons tremblingly, they were in exchange for roast chicken, smoked fish, and rice wine that were unlikely to be eaten during the Chinese New Year before, Li Chao's employees were all in their dreams.

It was not until someone pinched himself hard and cried out that they realized that they were not dreaming. They hurriedly kept the remaining silver notes carefully, and then put the food they bought in their arms, and ran back to the county town to enjoy with their families.

~~

At night, in the village outside Dajing County, there were a little light like beans in the low thatched hut.

A hired wife and two children surrounded the roast chicken he bought, and were stunned for a long time.

"Eat, why are you doing when you stand there?" The hired worker called the car bead touched the heads of his sons and said, "This is what your grandfather said about roast chicken."

"I saw them eating when Jiang Jie's head of the family." His wife also said with a shocked look: "I looked around for a while, wanting to let Jiang Jie's head and feet be brought back for the children to taste."

As she said this, she said with a grudge: "Ai Xi, the food his family ate was cleaner than that of a dog!"

"Haha, don't envy him anymore, we'll eat some of them." Che Zhuzi was so proud that he pulled two chicken legs to his twin sons Che Zhan and Che Zhen and said, "Remember that this is what my dad earns for you!"

"Well! Thank you dad!" Looking at the admiring eyes of the two sons, Che Zhuzi felt that she was too awesome.

There are very few officials and slaves who can marry, let alone have children and eat roast chicken. I am simply the number one official slave in the universe... Oh no, I am now a hired worker in the Heavenly Kingdom, Huhahaha!

Che Zhuzi thought happily, and the captain told them that when they become overseas employees in the future, their salary will increase to 1,000 yuan per month. Moreover, their share with the government will also become 550 yuan. This means that they can earn 500 yuan per month.

If they can keep working hard for the company, they will even have the opportunity to become a regular employee of the Ming Dynasty and become a member of the Jiangnan Group in the future. At that time, they can completely get rid of the status of the official slave of the Li Dynasty and become part of the Supreme People's Republic of China.
Chapter completed!
