Chapter 40 Delivering on Promises
Seeing that the captives present all had different expressions, Li Chengji also stopped talking. He beckoned Li Dali to go back to his residence and get some dinars.
This was to fulfill the original promise, and it was also to make the captives believe that he had no jokes.
After waiting like this for a while, Li Dali came with a tray in his hand and with great difficulty.
Li Chengji let him decisively lift the red cloth in front of everyone. The golden dinar is also instantly generous and brilliant.
The eyes of the captives present suddenly straightened. Because in the country of Gur, most of them are slaves who are destined to be sloppy. The reason why he joined the army was also the arrangement of the slave owners.
Even civilians with relatively high status have a very hard time. Without his own land, he could only work for the landlord all day long. At harvest time every year, there is only a little surplus to barely make ends meet.
Now all of a sudden, seeing so many dinars makes them all think they are dreaming. It wasn't until I pinched myself twice that I dared to be sure that this was true.
So the whole audience couldn't help but be restless and moved.
Li Chengji looked at it, and asked Li Dali to take the tray to him. In the sunlight, the dinars emitted a dazzling golden light.
The restless captives seem to have seen enough. He stared at the dinar until his eyes were sour and unbearable under the bright light. I had to lower my head. But it wasn't long before their fiery gaze returned to the dinar.
Kalwan, who was crowded in the middle of the crowd, saw that Lee Seungji had not said anything further. He puffed up his chest and asked with some disbelief: "Young master, are these dinars really given to us?" ”。 He didn't know whether Li Chengji deliberately took it out to make them covetous, or if he really fulfilled his promise to distribute monthly stipends.
If it was the latter, then he would only be shocked by Li Chengji.
Because he really couldn't understand why Li Chengji gave them so many benefits.
After all, they were all slaves who had been taken captive to the Ming Dynasty and had a low status. The whole life is also Li Chengji's. To use an inappropriate analogy, they are cats and dogs. No matter how Li Chengji wields, they can only wag their tails and beg for mercy.
Therefore, the distribution of monthly salaries to slaves is really a strange thing that he has never heard of since he grew up.
Li Chengji knew that he was incredulous, and he also knew that the captives present did not take his previous promise to heart.
Even though he healed the sores of his captives, he waited for them to eat and drink. It is also difficult to convince these people of themselves.
In the end, what he did was too contrary to common sense and too incompatible with the world.
But he didn't want to change!
Because in his heart, he could not yet treat them as livestock. Nor can they be at ease, so that they are called like cattle and sheep.
Of course, that's just one of them! More importantly, he wants to use his money to buy horse bones to create public opinion momentum for himself. Although I can't see the effect yet, I may be able to use it in the future.
He nodded and responded: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." Although I am in the year of dancing spoons, as a man, I can freely spill water when I say it.
And the things that were promised to you should be fulfilled. ”。
As Kalwan listened, he suddenly had a delusion. It didn't seem to be a thirteen-year-old child standing in front of him. It was the most noble and supreme sultan in the country of Ghur. The words that come out are as convincing as the Lord.
The resentment caused by the road closure has slowly dissipated.
If Li Chengji knew that Kalwan was angry with him because of this, he would definitely vent his bitterness.
After all, he didn't know anything about the road closure. To blame him for nothing is to suffer a calamity of no reason.
It's a pity that at the moment, he doesn't know Kalwan's mind, so he has no chance to explain.
At this moment, the prisoners in the audience listened to Li Dali's translation of Persian, and immediately shouted excitedly. Some were too excited, and they put their hands on their chests and bowed to Li Chengji with a respectful expression.
Affected by this, the other captives also rushed to express their gratitude.
Seeing this, Li Chengji's expression did not change. Only let Li Dali distribute the dinars. At the same time, he said loudly: "Today I will only give you one dinar!"
Because I still have deep doubts about your worth. ”。
The captives below immediately took off their shirts and showed off their stout physiques. So that Li Chengji can recognize their strength.
But whether kung fu works or not, you can only know if you compare.
Therefore, Li Chengji immediately announced that seven days later, an internal competition would be held. And especially remind that the entire competition will be divided into three sessions according to the different times.
Like seven days later, it's the first one. Of the nearly two hundred, only twenty were eligible to become personal guards and receive five dinars.
The rest of the people can only wait for the second match. The interval is half a year. The quota will be relaxed to 40. The dinar received during the period shall be changed to one for three months.
If it does not pass, it will have to wait. The interval will be up to one year, but there is no quota for the number of places.
However, the basic energy of the body must meet the minimum conditions. The dinars received during this period were also extended to one for six months.
Such a big gap made the captives' expressions nervous. looked at the companions who got along day and night, and there was also a little bit of unkindness.
Lee Seung-ji is very satisfied with their performance! Because then he would have plenty of time to raise enough dinars. Your own credibility can also be guaranteed.
At the same time, within the captives, a competitive relationship was formed. So that they can neither hold together and be self-contained. I don't dare to slack off on my hands and feet and fool myself.
This is of great benefit to the improvement of the physical fitness of the captives.
But the most important thing is to let these captives understand who their masters are. Invisibly, it strengthens their sense of identity.
To increase the intensity of the thrill! Li Chengji also distributed five dinars to Li Dali and others in front of everyone. And told the captives that this was the way to become a personal guard.
This move can make Li Dali and others cry. They all knelt on the ground, only knowing that they were kowtowing desperately and couldn't speak.
It was also that they never thought that Li Chengji would give them five dinars. Even if they secretly hoped that the captives would receive a dinar, they could not believe that this would come to pass.
It wasn't until they held the glittering dinar that they felt that this was not a dream. can only use the form of kowtow to express their gratitude.
This made the captives who had obtained a dinar also red-eyed. secretly swore that he would win the title of personal guard in seven days.
(Thank you for the tip, and thank you for the recommendation of Heavenly Asura, Earth Ruthless, and Handsome Blzw.) Originally, I wanted to come to the third watch, but these days are busy, so the update speed can't be improved. When I'm free, I'll make up for it. )
