Section 501 Take a break
There are two pots at home, which is a good wish of Bai Hui, and it will take a lot of time to realize it.
Empress Dowager Xuan opened her mouth to comfort Bai Hui: "Things can't be rushed, they have to come step by step." ”
"Ministers need iron."
"The Qin State also needs iron." After the Empress Dowager Xuan finished speaking, she personally poured a glass of wine for Bai Hui: "Bai Hui, this palace is out for vacation, but it is not to accompany you to be busy with complicated official business, immediately find a few interesting places for this palace, if it is not interesting, don't blame this palace for being unhappy." ”
Empress Dowager Xuan didn't really need to play, she just didn't want Bai Hui to put too much pressure on herself.
"The Queen Mother's ......"
Bai Hui wanted to say something, but Empress Dowager Xuan's tone became stern: "Immediately find an interesting thing for this palace to make this palace happy." ”
"Okay." Bai Hui had to agree.
After seeing Bai Hui's agreement, Empress Dowager Xuan said again: "You go and order, let the steel mill rest for three days, you must rest for three days." Slaves are also human beings, and everyone in the world says that my Great Qin is the Qin of tigers and wolves, but compared with Qi, Chu and other countries, Qin has never killed slaves. ”
"Yes!"
Even if Bai Hui agreed, Empress Dowager Xuan still urged again: "Now, call someone to come in and give orders." ”
"Yes!" After Bai Hui nodded for the second time, he shook the bell beside him.
An entourage entered, and Bai Hui instructed: "Passing on the king's order, the steel mill is forced to rest for three days, the slaves have meat for three days, and the excellent slave workers are selected to reward hemp, meat, and porcelain." Then he ordered the port to prepare to go to sea, and asked the two kings of Han and Wei to make sure that their daughters were on board, and they accompanied the queen mother to play. ”
"No!"
After the entourage gave the order, Bai Hui was ready to explain to the Empress Dowager Xuan where he was about to go.
Who would have thought, but Empress Dowager Xuan got up and prepared to leave, and at the same time said to Bai Hui: "This palace is not interested in listening, this palace must see it with your own eyes, it must be interesting, at least so that this palace will not feel boring within a month." ”
"Yes, Queen Mother."
Empress Dowager Xuan gently patted Bai Hui on the shoulder twice: "Take a good rest." After finishing speaking, Empress Dowager Xuan left.
On the side of Fugang Iron Workshop, Bai Hui's order arrived.
The slaves who were building the wall were still working, and soldiers entered and demanded that everyone stop working.
After a Japanese slave was robbed of his shovel by a Qin soldier, the Japanese slave worker looked at Qin Jun in horror, and then sat on the ground crying like a child.
"What's going on?" The soldiers of the Qin army were stunned.
The language barrier, Qin Jun didn't understand why this slave worker was crying so sadly.
Qin Jun, who was promoted to a slave of the Chen Kingdom, came to the Qin army, although he was not very proficient in the Japanese language, but after asking, he could basically figure it out.
"Brother, what's wrong with him." Qin Jun's words of slavery made the hearts of the slave soldiers of Chenguo warm.
Chenguo slave soldier, when he was just caught before, he was cautious all day long, for fear that his life would be lost if he was not careful. Later, I joined the Qin Army training camp, it was really bitter to death, and being beaten and scolded was almost a daily thing.
After he really joined the Qin army, he always felt inferior.
Even if the rest of the Qin army has not been bullied, he has always been like a small sufferer.
Because I know some Japanese language, I was transferred from the Chenguo Peninsula to Fukugang, and it has only been three days since I came.
A brother, this slave soldier of Chenguo actually cried too.
The soldiers of the Qin army were even more confused, and said in their hearts What is the matter, is this place poisonous, and they cried one after another.
Wiping away his tears, the slave soldier of Chenguo said: "He just said that he was afraid. Fear of being pulled and eaten. ”
"Eat, eat !!" The whole Qin soldier was not good.
Look at the slave laborer sitting on the ground and shaking.
The slave soldiers of Chenguo hurriedly explained in detail: "Many tribes in this place are headed by women, and there will be frequent fights with other tribes, and those who are captured are slaves, and slaves usually work, but when there is not enough food, there are also things that kill slaves and eat them." ”
The soldiers of the Qin army were speechless.
After staring at the slave laborer for a while, he said, "Dahejun has an order to force him to rest for three days. Each slave who worked in the steel mill was rewarded, and the chief steward of the steel mill set the rules according to the decree of the great river. Each slave worker was given a set of linen, a pair of shoes, and five pounds of fish and meat......"
According to Bai Hui's statement, the officials of the steel mill made some reductions within a controllable range according to the number of rewards given by Bai Hui.
Too much of a reward is not conducive to the future management of the steel mill.
What's more, at the moment, the steel mill is just being built, and a small reward is conducive to boosting morale.
Of course, on the side of the craftsmen of the Qin State, the rewards are not light, at least a whole horse of linen cloth, and a sheep.
Sheep is a valuable meat in Wajima.
Because there are not many large herbivores on the island, sheep need to be transported from Feiyi, and the reward for sheep is a heavy reward.
After figuring it out, many of the Japanese slave laborers began to cry with their heads in their hands.
"What's going on?" The soldiers of the Qin army threw the token in their hands to the slave soldiers of the Chen Kingdom: "I'll leave it to you here, let them line up to receive the reward, and whoever makes trouble will be beaten." ”
"I, can I?" The slave soldiers of the Chen Kingdom felt that the token was like a soldering iron.
Having a token means that there is a petty officer with small authority, and at least fifty people are eligible to receive the token.
"Just say you can do it." The soldiers of the Qin army didn't want to listen to these people crying, so they ignored the slave soldiers of the Chen Kingdom anymore, turned around and left.
The slave soldiers of the Chen Kingdom felt that their waists were much straighter, and they watched the soldiers of the Qin Army walk away, holding the token tightly with their hands and shouting: "Everyone assembles ......"
The next day, before Bai Hui boarded the ship, a scribe handed over a document to Bai Hui.
"Dahe-kun, the lower officials think that this document is very important, please give instructions to Dahe-jun before getting on the boat."
"Okay."
Since it is official business, and it is also an urgent official business, Bai Hui will not slack off.
After opening the official document, he listened to the scribe explain: "Dahejun, this is the result of a recent investigation, plus last night, a slave soldier of the Chen Kingdom talked to at least fifty Japanese slave workers, collected a lot of information about the previous life of the Japanese slave, and the lower official sorted out his report. ”
"Yes." Bai Hui nodded and continued to look through the paperwork.
The scribe continued, "According to the report of the slave soldier in the kingdom of Chen, the Japanese slaves were divided into three categories. The first category is clan women, and most of the Washima tribes are currently ruled by women, and have not yet formed a kingdom. Only a few tribes are held by men, and the farther away from Fukugang, the fewer tribes are held by men. ”
"Yes." Bai Hui could understand that this era of Washima was still transitioning from the Jomon period to the Yayoi period.
The Jomon period was the era of matrilineal clans, and it was normal for women to be in power.
The clan women referred to by the scribes were women with power and young women who were qualified to inherit high positions.
The scribe added: "These clan girls are a bit arrogant. ”
"Arrogance?" Bai Hui asked rhetorically and smiled.
"The lower officials know their mistakes." The scribe also laughed, and said arrogantly in front of Qin Dahejun, they also had to have this qualification.
