Chapter 374: Jinshan Town
Everyone is on duty for a week, in fact, there is not much work to be done, nothing more than to patrol all places, do not appear that the strong unite to oppress the weak, put the production order in order, continue to dig Australian gold, and order those gangsters who have been exiled here to cultivate their own farms.
Of course, you can do it without farming, anyway, the elders won't pay for your food, and if you want to be a scoundrel, you can't pretend to be pitiful.
Of course, there are also some people who immediately put their minds on enslaving others, and soon they are divided into high and low according to their original occupations, and in the same way as later generations, they throw the local scum outside, that is, bring misery to foreigners.
For the elders, since these people are their slaves, they are not allowed to have nobles among the slaves, and all kinds of natural creatures in this part of Australia, whether it is all kinds of animals that are completely unsuspecting to humans, or fertile land, are enough to feed the population.
After the initial painful period, this small town located in the location of Sydney in the later generations has begun to take shape, named Jinshan Town, which is also very appropriate, it should become the administrative office of the Australian Province for management, as long as the sea traffic is opened up in the future, from the cruise ship south of Shanghai to Australia, you can guide the small traders who gradually move from feudalism to imperialism to learn how to go to the world.
Zhang Liang took a day to understand the situation, and gradually got on the right track, in general, compared to his daily work on the spaceship, a week in Australia is good, there is a lack of large beasts in the wild here, of course, there are many pythons, but the modern dormitory he uses alone is specially careful about this situation.
In general, the exiles who accepted their fate did a good job, the bad situation stimulated their hard-working national characteristics, and through the expulsion of dangerous natives, they were also united, and the history itself was also those British exiles turned herdsmen, and in this time and space, the exiles under the rule of the elders were more organized, systematic, and backed by medicine and new weapons, which was naturally more effective.
The biggest mistake of the British in history is to introduce rabbits into Australia, resulting in a rabbit disaster, a large number of rabbits in Australia infinitely reproduced, everywhere the grass eats into a desert, the ground is burrowed, causing soil erosion, but the elders are not so stupid, for the alien species to guard strictly, in addition to the introduction of sheep breeding, it is relatively reduced the introduction of alien species.
Of course, Zhang Liang also found that the Australian kangaroo meat, which was originally touted by micro-business and petty bourgeoisie, is claimed to be nutritious, and the meat sold by foreign adults who are countless times more noble than the meat in your country turns out to be so fishy that even these exiles are frowning at this, and they must cover the meat with a lot of condiments before they can eat it. (Don't believe the words of those Australian micro-businesses, they are all liars!) Kangaroo meat is hard to eat and die! )
Of course, as the first exiles to Australia, they all have to participate in labor, that is, the slaughter of kangaroos, kangaroos, in Australia almost as many as a million, more than the local indigenous population, it can be said that thousands of people can not be killed, but the quality of the fur is good, so here is still formed a small industrial chain, a certain amount of fur is handed over every month, you can exchange for rations, and after accumulating some money, you can go to the manager of the town to register, reclaim the wasteland, and the elders provide free breeding sheep, Basically, production and sales are still very prosperous, and now only the sea route between Jinshan Town and Shanghai is just needed to officially open for business.
Of course, there are still problems.
"I'm going home!"
"I don't work!"
"The Elders treat the scholars so poorly, we don't accept it!"
As newcomers to exile, they were of course also assigned jobs.
As mentioned before, although Jinshan Town is a penal colony, it is still under the personal management of the elders, and their top-level design is still good, and the exiles who are sent every week will be arranged to do some manual labor to earn money rations and funds, and when they accumulate to a certain extent, they can survive on their own, and they can go to reclaim wasteland, and they can raise sheep when they farm.
A hundred acres of land per person is already considered good, and there were originally lazy bones among them, but after a few hungry meals and a few whips, they immediately became diligent.
However, for these three talents, asking them to carry, clean, and inventory the work of these basic laborers is simply insulting, and they see that no one cares about them, and they feel that no one dares to provoke them, so they make even more trouble.
Zhang Liang frowned, there are no idlers here, all of them have to work hard to get paid, or they will drive the natives to get bonuses, it is impossible to be lazy, but these shows are indeed excessive, he originally watched the population gradually increase, and when these shows grew up, appoint an assistant or something, fortunately, the system is working well, under the pressure of survival, everyone works hard, and the resources in Australia are rich enough, and even those kangaroos, koalas, are easy to deal with animals.
Even the beggars on the streets of the original imperial capital are working hard, as for the gangsters and liars, it is even more honest, in this kind of situation where the outside are all terrible tribal natives, if you don't want to work, rely on your mouth, that is a delusional desire to let others feed you.
But he still doesn't care too much, Australia is summer at this time, it is the hottest time, but it is almost the New Year, although it is an exile, but in order to maintain the centripetal force, he still has to celebrate, at least the mutton is enough to rub a meal, he is busy with the future New Year's preparations, and other trivial matters, after the future exile period, although the people who have laid down a piece of wealth in Australia can go home freely, but presumably they can't let go of the fertile land cultivated here, which is also one of the purposes of the elders, Barefoot is naturally not afraid of wearing shoes, but I put shoes on you, or well-known brand-name leather shoes, I am always satisfied.
Therefore, no one cared, at the beginning, after being brought to Australia, there were quite a few people who either openly confronted or secretly sabotaged their work, but with such a small number of people, the elders who mastered the force naturally destroyed them casually, for them, rewarding those who worked diligently and bravely exterminated the natives was definitely better than rewarding those who did not work and knelt down and licked the natives.
The three scholars were originally wearing torn cotton jackets and shabby long shirts, but at this time, because of the heat, they were half-pulled, and the T-shirts that were given to them to be convenient for work and wear, were served by the barbarians who they considered insulting, and naturally they refused to give in, but when it was hot, they couldn't, so they could only hang on their bodies in embarrassment.
They made trouble for a long time, refused to do the work assigned to them, came to the town's office to shout grievances, but no one cared about it, and they made trouble for a long time, but after being driven off the spaceship, after getting a meal, they were assigned to work, of course, the newcomers, it is impossible for them to do any important work.
Fan Jin was asked to help skin the dead kangaroo, Wu Jin was asked to go to the kitchen to help make a fire, and Li Jin was asked to sweep the floor.
Such a demand, of course, could not be agreed, and the two sides were deadlocked.
Fan Jin is the oldest, he is nearly forty years old, he just got off the boat and ate some fishy and cold meat, the meat is very suspicious, Fan Jin is an old talent, twenty years without lifting, but he has long been unwavering, he really can't stay in his hometown this time, his father-in-law Hu butcher has seen him up and down unpleasantly, and I heard that the imperial capital recruitment, ruthlessly sold the old hen in the family, and begged his father-in-law to give him some plate entanglement, the father-in-law looked at him even more unpleasantly, but it was just a little money, where is enough for the travel expenses, and when he arrived in the imperial capital, It's too late for anything, I didn't get into Enko, and I don't have the face to go back.
After Fan Jin became the imperial capital, he met Kong Yiji, this guy pleaded with him to sacrifice his life to fight, even if it didn't work, who dared to risk the world's disapproval and offend Shilin, but at this time, Fan Jin looked up to the sky and sighed, remembering the words of selling piglets for unknown reasons, he was only afraid that Kong Yiji was selling piglets, he should have thought that the person who called himself the Kong family in Qufu was so down-and-out, naturally he was talking about it without a doubt, and it was a sad sigh, he didn't know where he was, and he didn't understand why it was winter. But when I got here, it was like a summer place, and the kangaroo was something that was unheard of.
Although it is said that you can go home after five years, if you are willing to plough the land, you can divide the land, and the business is also prosperous when you work and do small business, but Fan Jin is also at a loss, among the three Xiucai who were sold piglets to Australia, he has a low status, and he has been bullied by the Hu butcher on weekdays, and he is already very patient, and he wanted to agree, but he was protested by the other two.
But no one cares, the real thorn has long been tamed, those who remain are diligent people, the three of them waited for a long time, but there was no response, the time was already noon, but the smell of meat wafted in the distance, it turned out that in Australia, the meat is not fresh, the kangaroos that can be seen everywhere can hardly be killed, and there are flocks of sheep everywhere, but there are few small dishes.
These people in Australia are basically gangsters, liars, beggars, in short, the marginal population, how many people have eaten and seen, naturally they will not like this kind of meat, but meat is always meat, in the early stage of the need is food and clothing, kangaroo meat is definitely the most reliable source of meat.
As soon as he felt this, Fan Jin was even more hungry, although his father-in-law was a butcher, but he was pitiful and saw that he had really never eaten meat, even with this fishy smell, he looked left and right, knowing that no one was paying attention to him, and suddenly said: "Two, it is better to stay as a useful body, in order to advance backwards, I can't wait to enter the eyes of the court officials, and I was sent to this barren land by mistake, but it is a pity that it is really difficult for my family to see each other again, but I still have to stay as a useful body." ”
Wu Jin suddenly laughed a few times and said: "What's the future, don't you understand, although these people open an Enke, they are very hostile to us and other scholars, and they don't care about the Four Books and Five Classics we are waiting for, even if we boast of being full of economy, no, we are just the most inferior among the scholars, but they don't pay attention to it at all, and it is not how they think about those so-called talents." ”
Fan Jin smiled reluctantly and said: "I still care about this, I can only take one step at a time, this place is not as good as my hometown, I am afraid that I have to rely on working here to survive, hoping to find an opportunity to return to my hometown in a few years, what else can I do." ”
Li Jin said leisurely at this time: "You didn't see it, but I just saw the plan in the Nazhi Office, this is called Jinshan Town, but people are already called Jinshan Mansion, five years later, I am afraid that there will be more and more people here, and it will completely take root in people." ”
Fan Jin hesitated a little and said: "Isn't this a country for people to say goodbye to their parents, separated from their flesh and blood, and not allowed to return to their hometowns, how can this work." ”
Li Jin said: "You see, the people here are all in the Celestial Empire and have no permanent birth, if it is really here for five years and there is land, how many people do you say are willing to go back?" A hundred acres of land. ”
Fan Jin said: "In the end, it is my hometown. ”
Wu Jin said: "A few of us are exiles who were sent to the Western Regions in ancient times, how can we really be allowed to go back, as soon as I think that even if I die, I will die in a foreign land, I ......"
Fan Jin gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go, let's deal with this meal first, I'll go and ask for a consultation, even if the imperial court wants to open a government and set up a county here, don't you need someone to deal with the documents." ”
Fan Jin ran to the canteen in the distance, where the food was simple, steamed buns with kangaroo meat, there were people who specially cooked the food waiting to receive it, and now they are also a semi-communist way of living, kangaroo meat was initially snatched up, but later found that this kind of kangaroo is too much to eat, and it is difficult to eat to the end, so it is barely enough to satisfy hunger.
Fan Jin begged for a while, and the master of the house stretched out his hand, took him a few steamed buns, a few pieces of meat, wrapped them in a local kind of leaves, and brought them back.
Since Fan went in, he didn't lose their face, so he could naturally eat it slowly, in the final analysis, the world and the earth were the biggest, and the people who could have been in their hometown for a while suddenly faced a group full of malice around them, and the three of them naturally joined together.
Fan Jin's heart is the best, but after eating, he no longer cries, but begs for a report, wants to meet Zhang Liang, and wants to fight for a job that suits him.
However, at this time, Zhang Liang was vague and said: "In other words, now there is a problem of male and female style, oh no, it is also a problem of male and female style." ”
He looked at a few spies who nodded and bowed to him to tell him, and they were not spies, but a few guys who usually secretly received a consolation gift in the administrative center and made a small report if there was anything.
"Yes, Elder, a few of them are ...... at night"
It's time to come, Zhang Liang doesn't seem surprised.
