Hey~hey~"

In a forest outside Ryukyu Castle, the eight members of Liu Mingqi's team were divided into four groups, shouting trumpets and pulling huge saws to cut down trees.

Ryukyu Island is covered with lush trees, and the primeval forests are rich in timber that was needed for the construction of Ryukyu Castle.

Yang Dalang and Yang Ergou are from the same village, so naturally the two of them are also in a group, pulling the saw with great effort to cut down a cedar tree with a diameter of one foot.

"What's the matter with you kid?"

Yang Dalang pulled, pulled, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly looked at Yang Ergou, and found that he was absent-minded at this time, and he didn't use much force at all.

"Why are you working so hard?"

"The two of us have already knocked down more than 20 trees, and the other groups are still a few short of us, and it's really tiring to partner with you, so I know how to work with my head bored, and I don't know how to be lazy."

"Look at the others, who's like you, everybody is lazy."

Yang Ergou wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat down and said directly.

"Lazy?"

"It's good to eat and drink here, and you don't have a good time to live in, and you actually want to be lazy?"

As soon as Yang Dalang heard it, he couldn't help but say.

Yang Dalang firmly remembered the advice of his parents, since he went out to do things, he had to do things well, learn his skills well, crop people, there is nothing else, this body strength must be willing, don't think about stealing and playing tricks, be honest, be a man and do things in your own right.

So after coming here, Yang Dalang is always the most active and serious in doing things, and he is also the fastest to learn a lot of things, and in just 20 days, he has also been praised many times by captain Liu Mingqi.

"What's wrong with being lazy?"

"Who is not lazy, everyone is lazy, that is, you, like a cow, know that working hard will tire you to death sooner or later."

Yang Ergou said disapprerovingly, he is a more slippery person, and he is not very serious about doing things, so he naturally feels that everyone is lazy like him.

"Whatever you want, anyway, when I come out to do things, I always have to have a way of doing things, there is good food and drink here, there is good housing, there is a good life, and there is money to take, if such a good errand is not cherished, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life."

Yang Dalang silently pulled up the saw alone, isn't it just tired and bitter, young people can sleep for one night, not to mention, now that they are full of food here, and there is meat to eat, how can they be worthy of not working hard.

"Cut~"

Yang Ergou didn't care, sat and wiped his sweat, his eyes looked at the surrounding mountains and forests, there were many teams in the surrounding mountains and forests that were logging, and from time to time there were big trees falling, and at the same time, there were teams coming here to transport wood.

He remembered very well that when he first came here, the forest was very dense, with so many tall trees that there was not even a road.

But now, the tall trees here have long been cut down, and people come and go, and naturally there are roads one after another.

Looking down the hill along the road, you can already see a section of the wall of a city, which is three feet high, and is all made of cement and rock.

In just over 20 days, from scratch, the city wall has been built for a large part, and in the places where it has not been built, a high fence has been erected with logs to serve as a temporary city wall.

Beyond the castle walls, you can see that buildings have been built in Ryukyu Castle, all of which are made of reinforced concrete, and each building has at least three floors, and even five floors high.

At this time, these buildings were only newly built, and they did not have time to be decorated, and they looked far less beautiful than traditional brick and wood houses.

But Yang Ergou likes this kind of house very much, because this kind of house is not afraid of wind and rain, and it is a pleasure to install glass windows, and when it rains, it is a pleasure to watch the pouring rain outside in the house.

You must know that when I was in my hometown before, whenever it rained, it was the most uncomfortable time, because it was raining heavily outside, and Yang Ergou had to rain lightly at home, and it was wet and very muddy everywhere.

But this is different, living in a reinforced concrete house, no matter how heavy the rain outside, it will not be drenched in the house, and you can enjoy the scenery outside when it rains through the glass windows.

In addition, the main roads in Ryukyu Castle have been paved with cement, and a complete sewer and sewage system has been built, so there will be no stagnant water and muddy places at all, and before he knows it, he actually likes it a little, and he also began to like it here.

When he came, he just thought that he would work here, have food to eat, and have silver to take, and when he had earned enough money, he would return to his village, build a house, and marry a wife.

But in just over 20 days, he felt that he had become accustomed to life here, although he was really tired from working here, every day was very tiring, picking sand, moving stones, mixing mortar, cutting wood, carrying wood, unloading ships, etc., every day from getting up, except for the time to eat, basically had to be busy from morning to evening, tired and half dead.

Although there are a lot of rules here, this is not allowed, that is not allowed, everything must be done according to the rules, although the words of the people in charge here are official, and many times he can't understand them, which makes him a little unhappy.

But he was sure he liked it.

Not only because you can eat enough food here, and there are vegetables and meat at every meal, but also because everything here is clean, life is very comfortable and convenient, and compared with before, I feel that the whole person has been reborn.

He often wondered if he would be able to stay in the village if he was called back to the village now, and when he thought about it, he suddenly felt that he would definitely not be able to stay.

Thinking of this, and then looking at Yang Dalang, who was working hard to cut trees, he also silently picked up the saw again and started to cut down trees with Yang Dalang.

"Boom~"

Soon, another tree was sawn down.

"It's twenty-five today, and in eight days we'll just be doing it for a month, and I don't know if there will really be a tael of silver a month."

Cutting down a tree, Yang Ergou's slippery personality rose again, and after thinking about it, he asked Yang Dalang.

"There will definitely be, just one or two pieces of silver, and you don't look at how much silver has been invested here, and it will be your salary?"

Yang Dalang said with a smile.

"I'll just say this, and I've never had any silver."

Yang Ergou smiled and said.

"Let's come and gather, let's come and gather~"

At this time, the voice of the captain Liu Mingqi came, and when Yang Ergou heard it, he quickly threw down the saw in his hand and flew towards Liu Mingqi.

Yang Dalang saw it, he also smiled and shook his head, looking at the time, it was almost time for lunch, and it was estimated that everyone was ready to go back for lunch, so he also put away the saw, machete and other tools.

"Everyone put away their things and get ready to go back to dinner."

"Come to the rules, when we go back, eight of us in the team will carry four pieces of wood back."

"In addition, everyone will gather on the playground after eating, and there is something to announce here."

Liu Mingqi looked at the members of his team and said with a smile on his face.

In just more than 20 days of getting along, he has already figured out the situation of the seven people in the team, the hardest-working, the most serious, and the most active is Yang Dalang, the most accident is Wang Laosan, and the most favorite is a strict dog...

He has seen all these in his eyes, and he has also remembered them, and he has also reported them to the above, and there will be a major change in the afternoon, which is enough to make these people clearly know that hard work will always pay off.

"Let's go back to dinner~"

Hearing Liu Mingqi's words, Yang Ergou immediately cheered, and almost spread his legs and ran down the mountain.

Like the rest of the team, eight members of Liu Mingqi's team carried four logs back to Ryukyu Castle from the mountain, and everyone who was already hungry flocked to the cafeteria.

Wash your hands and face, then pour cold boiled water into it, and then go to the queue for a beautiful and full meal.

After eating, there is still a period of rest for everyone, and the time is about half an hour, which can be used for a nap, or you can take a walk around, move, and move appropriately.

Generally, this time is the happiest time for everyone, because this time is their own free time, and the people they know are in groups, getting together to chat and brag, which greatly relieves the fatigue caused by heavy work.

Soon, the time for the break passed.

"Bell~Bell~"

With the sound of bells, everyone walked towards the cement playground under the leadership of their respective team leaders, and thousands of people gathered on the playground, patting the queue, and looking at the past, there was a sea of people.

"Gather everyone together today and have a simple meeting, which is also to summarize the work of the past 20 days or so, to reward individuals who work hard and study seriously and to perform well, and to punish those who steal and cheat and cause trouble."

On the podium of the playground, Li Yuanshan, who is now the head of Ryukyu City, held a list in his hand and said loudly to the iron horn, and the voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone on the playground.

"Let's praise the outstanding team first~"

"The 23rd squad, captain Wei Yan, has overfulfilled the task twenty-three times, the most one, overfulfilled twice the workload, after research, captain Wei Yan was promoted to one level, rewarded with ten silver dollars, and each member of the team was rewarded with two silver dollars."

"The 59th squad, captain Duan Zhiming, has overfulfilled the task twenty-one times, at most once, and overfulfilled twice the workload, after research, the captain Duan Zhiming will be upgraded by one level, and ten silver dollars will be rewarded, and each member of the team will be rewarded with two silver dollars."

“……”

"The 232nd squad, captain Liu Mingqi, has overfulfilled the task eleven times, at most 1.5 times the workload of the task at one time, and after research, it was decided to reward the captain Liu Mingqi with five silver dollars, and reward each team member with one silver dollar."

As Li Yuanshan read one item at a time, Yang Dalang, Yang Ergou, Deng Miao, Wang Laosan and others suddenly widened their eyes, no one expected that there would be a reward for this hard work, and some of the teams in front of them would be rewarded with two silver dollars.

They have also seen the silver dollar now, and they also know that this silver dollar is one or two silver, which means that they are also working here, and others have already received two silver dollars in advance.

But soon, the seven members of their junior brother couldn't help but cheer happily, because their team was also rated as an excellent team, and the captain Liu Mingqi rewarded five silver dollars, and each of them could get a silver dollar reward.

"~"

"I knew that there was a reward for working hard, so I worked hard."

Yang Ergou couldn't help but say.

"It's just you, you're the laziest person in the whole team, but fortunately you still used some strength, otherwise it's still unknown whether our team can win the award."

After Liu Mingqi heard it, he couldn't help but laugh and said.

"Haha~"

When the others heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.

Soon, Liu Mingqi came to the stage on behalf of his team to receive the reward.

"Come, come, a silver dollar for one person~"

Back in his own team, Liu Mingqi also sent a silver dollar to everyone in his team.

"Haha~ I finally have silver~"

Yang Ergou got the silver dollar, couldn't help but bite on it, and then kissed it happily, the whole person was very happy, and he had already earned a tael of silver before he had worked for a month.

Yang Dalang held the silver dollar in his hand tightly, and the whole person was also full of emotion, he was worried about this and that before he came, he knew that he was really lucky.

Not only did I earn the money in my hands here, but more importantly, I also learned a lot of things and greatly increased my knowledge, which could not be bought with silver.

Of course, for him now, the silver dollar in his hand is also very precious, and he is already imagining in his mind the scene of returning to the village in the future.

"The following is a commendation for outstanding individuals~"

After praising the outstanding team, Li Yuanshan took out another list and began to read it out.

"Lin Xiaoyu ~ performed positively during work, worked hard, studied hard, strictly abided by the rules and regulations of Ryukyu City life, performed well, decided, promoted to squad leader, rewarded with 2 silver dollars, and the next month rang for 3 silver dollars."

Li Yuanshan just read out the first name, and the thousands of people below couldn't help but blush.

In the same way, after working here for more than 20 days, others were promoted, promoted to team leader, and there were 3 silver dollars every month in the future, but he was still a member of the team, and he only had 1 silver dollar.

However, the people who know Lin Xiaoyu have nothing to say, this Lin Xiaoyu is indeed very hard-working, very hard-working, and he learns things very quickly, and he can quickly get started with a simple teaching of anything, which can be said to be well deserved.

“……”

"Yang Dalang, during the work period, he performed positively, worked hard, studied hard, strictly abided by the rules and regulations of Ryukyu City life, performed well, decided, promoted to the captain of the team, rewarded with 2 silver dollars, and the next month rang for 3 silver dollars."

Soon, Yang Dalang's name was also read out, and after Yang Dalang heard it, the whole person was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that he could also be rated as an excellent individual, and he was promoted to the captain of the team, and there were 3 silver dollars in the next month.

The rest of the team, Yang Ergou, Wang Laosan, Deng Miao and others suddenly had red eyes, looked at Yang Dalang, thought about it and suddenly had nothing to say, Yang Dalang's performance was well deserved, there was nothing to say.

"I knew that I would work as hard as him~"

Wang Laosan couldn't help but say.

"In the same more than 20 days, Da Lang has been the captain of the team, and there will be 3 silver dollars in the future~"

Deng Miao couldn't help but say sourly.

As for Yang Ergou, he was the most uncomfortable at this time, he was also from the same village, he also worked together, worked here together, and for more than 20 days, he watched Yang Dalang appreciate.

He regretted it all over, regretting that he was cheating and lazy, and his mind was full of thoughts, if I worked as hard as he did, wouldn't I be able to become the captain of the team myself, and I would be able to get the moon ringing of 3 silver dollars in the future.

Then he didn't regret taking the medicine, he could only watch Yang Dalang, like other advanced individuals, standing on the podium and accepting everyone's reddened gaze.

"In more than 20 days, many excellent squads and individuals have emerged among us, and in the same way that in more than 20 days, we have also found a lot of cheating and tricks, opportunistic and unenterprising very few people."

"Now I'm here to report the criticism and make some punishments accordingly."

After praising the outstanding teams and individuals, the smile on Li Yuanshan's face was closed, and he also made a straight face, took out another list and began to read it out.

"Liao Xiaoming, during work, often cheated and cheated, deliberately absenteeism, disobeyed the leadership and management of the team leader, violated the rules and regulations of life in Ryukyu City many times, and repeatedly refused to change."

"After research, it has been decided that from today onwards, Liao Xiaoming will return to Quanzhou with the ship."

Li Yuanshan's words were very cold, the treatment here in Ryukyu City can be said to be very good, but in such a situation, there are still people who are cheating and cheating, deliberately absent from work, and do not obey the arrangement and management.

This kind of person used to be ruffians and hooligans, thorns and the like, so Ryukyu Castle here will not get used to these people, and will not keep these people anymore, so they will send each other back directly.

"Don't~Don't~"

"I will never dare again, I will never dare again, I am willing to obey the management, and I am willing to abide by the rules and regulations of Ryukyu City."

A voice of remorse suddenly sounded in the quiet playground, there was no doubt that it was obviously the person named Liao Xiaoming, as soon as he thought of being expelled from here, there was no way to continue to eat and drink here, and live comfortably, that Liao Xiaoming immediately screamed, and regretted it in his heart.

If he returns to Quanzhou and his home, where can he be like this here, where can he eat big fish and meat every day, have a full meal, and everyone still has a silver dollar to take.

"Take him away~"

Li Yuanshan didn't care about this, and gave a cold order, and immediately the two strong men entered the crowd, took this Liao Xiaoming out like a chicken, and threw him aside coldly.

"Don't~Don't~"

"I won't dare again, I won't dare again."

Liao Xiaoming sat on the ground paralyzed, crying bitterly, and kept kowtowing and begging to give him another chance, but no one paid attention to him at all.

When Yang Ergou saw Liao Xiaoming's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, glad that although he was lazy and cheating, at least he had not been absent from work, and he had always obeyed the captain's management and arrangement, otherwise he would be the same as this Liao Xiaoming.

If he is expelled back to Quanzhou, Yang Ergou will have the heart to die, and it is estimated that he will not be much better than this Liao Xiaoming.

"Su Laipi, during work, often cheated and cheated, deliberately absenteeism, disobeyed management and arrangements, did not abide by the rules and regulations of Ryukyu City, and even gathered fellow villagers to threaten the captain of the team, and his behavior was extremely bad."

"After research, it was decided that from today onwards, wages will be deducted, Su Laipi will be expelled, and Quanzhou will be repatriated with the ship."

Li Yuanshan's words were very cold, what Liu Jin hated most was this kind of fellow villagers and the like, so Li Yuanshan and the people who followed Liu Jin were the same, for this kind of person who gathered his fellow villagers to threaten the captain of the team, there was no need to tolerate it at all, not only to expel him, but also to pay him a penny.

"Why do you deduct my wages~Why deduct my wages~"

Li Yuanshan's words fell, and someone immediately shouted.

"Brothers, we are all from Quanzhou, let's unite together, kill these northerners, and rob all the silver here~"

The man named Su Laipi was also really bold, and when he heard the punishment for himself, he actually shouted loudly to his side, and shouted what to rob the silver here, which was really unbelievable.

Although he shouted loudly, no one around him responded, even his best friends, who hurried away from him at this time.

"Give me a hard hit on fifty boards, and I killed the ball~"

Hearing Su Laipi's words, Li Yuanshan's face suddenly turned cold, there was such a person who didn't have long eyes and no brains.

As Li Yuanshan's words fell, several strong men immediately walked over coldly.

When Su Laipi saw it, he was immediately half frightened to death, and while dodging, he also shouted: "Sai Lei Mu~ We are all from Quanzhou, are you all bad seeds?" ”

"Do you just watch your own people being killed?"

"If it's Quanzhou people, they will help, and everyone will kill these northerners together."

"Sai Lemu, the faces of the people of Quanzhou have made you lose their faces, and you still have the face to say that you are from Quanzhou?"

Someone next to him couldn't look at it, and slapped Su Laipi to the ground, and then crossed his legs and pressed them, and instantly subdued Su Laipi, obviously a practitioner.

"Yes, the faces of our Quanzhou people have made you lose their faces, you are embarrassed to say that you are from Quanzhou~"

"Sai Lemu, you Su Laipi is horizontal in the village, you don't know how thick the sky is when you go outside, is your brain pretending to be?"

"Sai Lemu, you call it again, believe it or not, I beat you to death, and I lost the face of our Quanzhou people."

The others also shouted, this Su Lai Pi is simply brainless.

Soon, several big men carried Su Lai Pi like a dead dog, and the sticks continued to beat, and soon Su Lai Pi was weak and could no longer shout a word.

With the example of Su Laipi, the next people whose names were read were much more honest, and they came out automatically one by one, extremely depressed, very depressed, and very remorseful.

Thousands of people have been recruited from Quanzhou, and the vast majority of them are doing their duty, doing things seriously, obeying management and arrangement, there are very few people like Liao Xiaoming and Su Laipi, only a few, and basically they are all in the same group as Su Laipi.

"That's it, all the good individuals stay, and the others follow their teams to continue their work."
