"I really didn't expect that in this era when the masses generally don't have enough to eat, there are still people who feel that the work is too hard and would rather starve?

...... Phew, I'm probably not sympathetic to the people, isn't it? But the unsympathetic nobles are much heavier than a month's work in my place? Why didn't they complain?"

Luo Ming was a little puzzled, but Grant replied directly: "There may be complaints, but it is useless. After all, those people are driven by whips, basically they are not paid, and the slightest passive sabotage can be killed.

You don't want to be like that, do you?"

"I have less than 500 people in total, and it hurts to hurt even one of them, so naturally I won't do this now...... However, when I have more people in the future, I will not be so tolerant anymore.

Hmph, it seems that it will be necessary to come up with the Committee for the Elimination of Slackness, and those who don't want to work will go home and rest—I won't do anything to such people, but those who decide to work even though they know it's hard will not want to give up halfway, and have to pay the labor worthy of that wage!"

Luo Ming smiled "gently", and then passed the order to give everyone a day and a half off, and some people who had been suspended from work due to the onset of winter simply took two and a half days off.

If the snow continues to fall, then the holiday will be longer.

Of course, he will not take a few days or even a dozen days of vacation in one go, unless someone applies for a long vacation for special reasons, he must insert a day or two of work between holidays.

Although he didn't study hard in his previous life, and spent a lot of time practicing martial arts, he was also a normal person who went to elementary and junior high school and entered a serious university, and his understanding of the long vacation was much stronger than that of people in this era.

Students who usually stay in school have formed a habit of listening to lectures, writing homework, and reviewing and previewing every day - even students who are cheating and cheating know the importance of these things, and most of the time even if they don't write homework, they will habitually borrow someone else's homework to copy.

But if you take a five-day long vacation, even the good students on weekdays will become burnout, and those who occasionally cheat and cheat on weekdays will simply play until the last night before starting to make up their homework.

Not to mention the winter and summer vacations of one or two months, it is undeniable that some people can still insist on studying hard at this time, but most students will be infected by the cheerful and relaxed atmosphere of the holiday, and every day they will either collapse on the bed and lie down, or sit in front of the computer desk unknowingly, or go out to play in the mountains and rivers, and accidentally miss the start of school - Luo Ming knows such a living treasure.

Thanks to the guy named Zheng Xian, he looks like a good student and a good young man on weekdays, wearing glasses and polite but insisting on exercising, and he was very popular among girls for a while, but he actually mislooked at the start of school.

Not only that, but this guy didn't confirm the second time during the whole holiday, which means that he didn't regard the start of school as a major event worth noting at all, so he didn't come late until a week after the start of school.

People who are often regarded as good student representatives on weekdays will slack off like this because of the long vacation, and Luo Ming doesn't expect this group of guys under his command to last long during the vacation.

You must know that no matter how the education of the Celestial Empire is criticized, one of the most valuable points is to teach people to abide by the rules and develop good habits from an early age. It can be said that although they are students, their discipline is already stronger than that of the soldiers trained by Luo Ming during this period - after all, the discipline of soldiers seems to be rigorous, and it can only be maintained by strict military law.

These followers may be capable, but more than half of them are not as disciplined as normal Celestial Empire middle school students.

Before the holiday, Luo Ming still asked Dakang to hand in a relatively simple summary of the work process, and then gave him a vacation.

Of the more than a hundred slaves, Lormin had already emancipated a quarter of them and registered them as serfs—though in his opinion there was little difference between the two. But the slaves seemed to think that this was the difference between outsiders and their own.

It is also true that the serfs had a relatively fixed plot of land to be responsible for, and if they did their job well, no one would do anything to them in general. Moreover, the group of serfs contains many families that are likely to have followed the lord for several generations or even dozens of generations, and they have been slaves for generations, not to mention loyalty, at least they are more relieved to use, and when the lord is in a good mood, the lord will eat meat and give them a mouthful of soup to drink.

Slaves, on the other hand, were driven to work without a fixed position, and after doing this work they might be driven to another job, and no one would recognize them for their efforts, and if they were a little lazy, they would be beaten, and even one or two slaves would be killed casually, and other slaves would take their place.

It's like the difference between a cow and a pig in a domestic animal - although the cow is occasionally slaughtered for meat, the cow can cultivate the land and plays an important role in the agricultural society, and the guy who is not usually a loser will not slaughter the cow - unless the cow is dying of old age.

Pigs cannot plough the land, and who knows when the owner is hungry can pull them to slaughter, and that afternoon they can make dishes, and the excess meat will be made into bacon, sausages, or sold to food merchants.

Ariana selected four female ** subordinates and personally taught them how to be an assistant priest. One of the more than 100 slaves happened to have the talent to become a priest, but Ariana also accepted Luo Ming's opinion and did not directly point out the matter-

Luo Ming said: "If you suddenly push all the good things to one person, that person will be excited for a while, and then the enthusiasm will cool down, and there is only one gratitude."

And if you free her slave today, tell her in a few days that she has potential, test her for a few days, and declare her barely qualified in a week of her trepidation, out of kindness, you will reap three points of gratitude, and your loyalty will be greatly increased. ”

It looks like this guy really hasn't worked in a management position before...... Luo Ming couldn't help but sneer, although he only managed a few junior brothers and sisters when he was on Earth, but he had read "The Monarch's Theory" out of interest, and taking out the theory in it and saying a few words casually could make Aya's eyes shine, it seems that this guy's management experience must be less than his own, and if he doesn't do it, it will be zero at all.

Luo Ming himself also personally selected the most "motivated" of the slaves, or the slave named Martin who accepted the reality and tried to express his loyalty to himself, so that he directly became a tenant.

By the way, this guy boldly made a request to Luo Ming, saying that he wanted to join the army, and proposed that as long as he was well fed, he didn't need military salaries, and asked Luo Ming to accept him.
