Chapter 210: Internal Selection

It is impossible to take sick leave, but there is a salary, two days off, three meals a day are free, and there is no place on the island to consume, so you can save all the money you earn. It was difficult for them to divide the whole silver, and there were too many copper plates and too heavy, so I hired goldsmiths to make the pure gold and silver into a uniform size circle by grams.

A silver coin is a month's wages, one or two.

A gold coin is a year's salary, weighing more than one tael.

Wages can be paid on a monthly or annual basis.

When people have money in their pockets, I still have a little understanding of where they will spend it.

Therefore, a rule was established early on that Treasure Island prohibits pornography, gambling, and drug entertainment.

The prisoners came to continue to be in prison, and the sailors worked here as a service.

I'm going to pay the prisoners and give them vacations, but I'm not going to ask them to come to the casino.

Work is still the main theme of their lives.

The salaries of the seamen are paid by the castle of Haixian, and if they are willing to send it home, the barracks will send the money back to their homes on their behalf.

If you want to get the bookkeeping yourself, go back from Treasure Island to get it together.

Guard Jia was a natural gossip reporter, and when he came, he went deep into the masses, either sitting at a well with a group of women to wash clothes, or going out to sea with people to fish.

He also drilled through the prisoners' piles, and he also joined the bridge repair team of the sailors.

I specially boiled honeysuckle fat seawater for him and told him to take it out, and it was the first time I saw someone talking, and my voice was hoarse.

The guard Xinlai was specially designed to be a nanny for us, and Xiaojiao wanted to come along, but the inn's business was so hot that she was familiar with it again, and she couldn't find anyone to replace her for a while.

She's a close confidant of mine, so the person on the shift has to be someone I can trust.

However, all the people I trust in the Demon Cult are so busy that they hit the back of their heads.

Cheng Feiguang is urgently drawing comics, and he has already boiled to the point of hair loss.

Xiaojiao handed over the responsibility of 'assistant' to the guard Xin, and told him to take good care of me and Yunzhou's daily life, and if I don't need it in life, then be a good secretary at work.

I need someone around me to help me with chores, such as the request slip handed down below, and it's a mess.

Although the principals of each department are literate and can write, there is no unified writing standard, some people write vertically, some people write horizontally, the characters are written in large and small sizes, and the paper used to write the strips is even more varied, and some people use bark and leaves, and the most talented one uses a clay tablet and engraves words on it.

Every time I see the instructions piled up on the table, I feel like I'm being a primitive homeroom teacher.

Guard Xin built a kitchen under the treehouse, and only cooked me breakfast and dinner every day, and we ate in the office area at noon.

During the day he was in my office, working on miscellaneous paperwork.

The one who handed over the slip was handed over directly to him, and anyone who wanted to see me or talk to me made an appointment with him.

This gave me time to move around, and then I discovered that there was a group of prisoners enslaving other prisoners.

There is no supervisor to watch, and the workload is fixed, so for some people, as long as they force others to do their work, they can rest every day.

Some pirates have done this before, and I found out and threw them into a worm pit.

The worm pit is a man-made 'torture instrument', similar to the pot of the King of the Ring.

It's just that a person throws it in, and he won't be bitten to death by the worm, and my healing breath will protect him, but it won't stop the worm from biting him and crawling on him, trying to get into his nose, mouth, and ears.

The person who was fished up was in a trance for several days, and would wake up from nightmares at night.

Since then, no one has dared to stuff their own work to others.

The method they use is nothing more than coercion by force, but I have made a rule that private fights are forbidden on the island, and no fights are allowed, let alone unilateral beatings.

The methods used by the prisoners are different, they secretly gamble and gamble, and those who lose all their money have to work for the winner.

I don't punish those who lose the gamble, they are willing to do double, triple, or even quadruple the work, and they do it.

The winner is thrown into the pot, the island is rich in insect resources, as many as you want, dig a big nest.

It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it looks disgusting, I'll dig it all up.

Having a bug crawling on your body is completely different from drowning in a sea of bugs.

I called the other prisoners to watch and watch my execution.

When they were done, they were told to go back to work, but the screams of the torturers stayed with them until the end of the evening.

The tortured people were bitten by insects and turned into rotten skin and dead bodies, covered in blood, and could not find an inch of good flesh on their bodies.

But it's just scary to look at, and there's nothing going on inside.

But it's enough to look scary from the outside.

The other prisoners dare to gamble again, they think I am more terrible than the head of the black prison.

"As I said, I know what you do, and since you like to pursue thrills, you can say it bluntly, you don't have to lure me to punish you in this way." Guard Xin helped me with a lot of chores, and I finally had time to come out and 'play'.

In the area where the road was built, I watched the prisoners work for a day.

Today is a special day, the first time the inmates feel what it's like to have an overseer.

I rarely have a day to spare, just wander around where they work, look at this, look at that.

I don't speak to anyone who is slow or wrong, not like an overseer, but like studying and observing them.

Obviously, this makes them more uncomfortable than hitting them and scolding them.

I think that the punishment is also punished, and there is no need to emphasize the issue of work attitude.

Everyone is an adult, and what to do is clear.

As a result, I became the sword of Damocles over their heads, and each of them had their nerves tense.

If I got close enough to look at someone, the clothes on the back of the man would be soaked with sweat in a few moments.

'The homeroom teacher's death gaze' was kind of understood by me.

Before I finished work, I called them to a place.

I stood on a large rock, held a simple bullhorn and asked:

"I'm a person who loves to listen to employees, and since you think so much about me, and want me to personally supervise your work, what do you think about me coming over every day in the future? Vote by show of hands, the minority obeys the majority, and you can rest assured that I respect your wishes. ”

"Agree with me coming every day, raise your hand."

There was silence below, and the prisoners looked left and right, or looked down at their feet, but not one of them raised their hands.

"Strange, you've been doing things all day long, looking forward to me coming, why hasn't anyone raised their hands now?" I pretended to be confused, but the prisoners still pretended to be dead and refused to give a response.

"Don't worry, the owner of the island, we know that we are wrong, we must work hard in the future, and we don't dare to be lazy and slippery and violate the rules of the island." A teenager suddenly spoke.

I looked for prestige, looked familiar, and thought about it, it turned out to be the boy who rescued the fugitive with Ah Whale that day.

"You, come out." I beckoned to him.

The young man was stunned, and the prisoner next to him glared at him, whispering to blame him for talking too much and provoking the pot.

The boy stepped forward and stood at the front of the line.

"What's your name?"

"Lu Xiaoxiao." The boy replied apprehensively.

"You're a sensible kid, I need an errand boy, would you like to change jobs?"

The boy was stunned again, his eyes widening in disbelief what he had heard.

"It's a blessing for him to be able to serve the island owner, and he is willing, silly boy, happy and stupid? Quickly nod your head. "It's still the old man who blames him for talking too much.

The old man has no ill will towards him, and all the blame is out of concern.

"Little shrimp is willing to saddle the front and back for the island owner!" Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know where he heard the words, so he said them outside.

Saying that he was going to kneel, I hurriedly stopped him, and the picture of the secret guard and the dead man kowtowing and kneeling when they saw their master, I have seen too much from the memory of the original body, and I am still not used to accepting other people's kneeling thanks.

Besides, I'm a modern person at heart, and even if they are lowly prisoners, I can't get used to receiving such a gift.

Lu Xiaoxiao was taken away by me, and the old man who accepted the job offer on his behalf was relieved.

Lu Xiaoxiao is not as boring as Ah Whale, he followed me all the way back to the office area, and on the way, he explained all the details of his ancestors for eighteen generations.

He was just fifteen this year, and he was sentenced to life, not because he himself committed a crime, but because of his family's crimes, he sat down with him.

He was originally the young master of the official family, but because his mother was a concubine and the wife of the main room was powerful, he was sent to Zhuangzi to raise him since he was a child, and he was not allowed to receive formal education.

He followed the old steward of the village to read and write, and he lived quite freely.

Which Cheng thought that his brother-in-law had been an official for less than a year, so he angered Long Yan in the court and lost his head directly.

The house was raided, the female dependents were sold, and the men were given and the imprisoned were imprisoned.

Originally, the old steward could leave, he was a hired laborer, not a house slave, but he couldn't rest assured that the little young master who had grown up since he was a child, he was an old man, and he had nothing to worry about, so he went to prison with the little master.

He was worried that the young master was young and would inevitably be bullied if he threw himself into the prisoner pile.

"Owner, I... Can I bring Lao Xu with me? He's a good guy and has never done anything bad! Lu Xiaoxiao plucked up the courage and made a request.

"I don't need to pay and eat less." He stepped up in time, hoping that the conditions he offered would impress me.

There is no special cleaning person in the office area, who is free to sweep twice, and it is not impossible to arrange a full-time cleaner.

"If you eat less, how can you have the strength to work? Am I still missing you this wage? Tomorrow I will send someone to take him out, and I will go to the official area to do the cleaning work. ”

"Great! The owner of the island is such a nice man! The young man's eyes lit up instantly, and although he was as thin as a hemp stick, there was spirit in his eyes.

It can be seen that he was a white little boy, but in the later days, he should have suffered a lot in prison.

The skin foundation is good, and some of the scars are new injuries that have not been more than one or two years old, which is still different from people who have been exposed to the sun and suffered from hardships.

"Don't set up a kind person for me, don't forget the worm pit." I scared him with a bluff.

"Then what are you...... A ruthless man! ”

"How do you describe this?"

"Hey, hey~" Lu Xiaoxiao scratched his head, he originally opened a distance of two meters from me when he walked, but now it has been shortened to one meter.

"Where's Big Fish?" Lu Xiaoxiao was happy, and suddenly asked as if he remembered something.

"Who? A whale? ”

"Yes, his name is too difficult to write, or Big Fish is easy to write and remember, I always call him Big Fish."

"He's making doors and windows, and everyone praises them."

"That is, if Brother Dayu practices for a few more years, it will be the emperor's palace, and he can also cultivate!"

"So I appreciate people who have the ability and ability, as long as they have real ability and don't have bad intentions, I will be promoted. What are you capable of? ”

"Me? I know martial arts. Lu Xiaoxiao said confidently.

"Oh?" If my face would have laughed, it's laughing now.

I didn't feel any internal force in him.

He is thin like this, and he doesn't look like a foreigner who practices kung fu.

"Look, I'll play a few tricks for you." Lu Xiaoxiao is expensive in a let go, don't care if it's true or not, he really dares to compare.

The lower plate is loose, the waist is weak, the arms are waving wildly, and the neck can be flashed when you twist your head......

"Okay, okay, keep your little life and work, don't show your talent."

"Owner, you believe me, I just have a short time to practice, the most important thing in martial arts is accumulation, study hard, I believe that one day, I, Lu Xiaoxiao, will have the opportunity to be promoted from an errand boy to your bodyguard."

"Child, there are more than just martial arts in the world that can be successful and famous, why don't you try to follow the literature." Regarding the practice of martial arts, who has talent and who does not, I can see at a glance that this child was born weak, and it is not easy to make up for it the day after tomorrow, and it has been made up to the end.

Even if I help him open up the meridians, plus his own efforts, after ten or twenty years, he is only a last-class martial artist.

"I... I didn't go to school. Lu Xiaoxiao's face was slightly red, and he whispered.

"What's so hard about going to school? The owner of the island is stupid and has a lot of money, and he loves to invest in the education industry the most, but he just builds a few more rooms and invites a few teaching gentlemen. ”

"Really?" Lu Xiaoxiao's blushing at this time was no longer out of inferiority, but joy and excitement.

"The owner of the island said that the horse is difficult to chase."

"Then I—Can I go to the academy?"

"Unless you hate studying and just work."

"I love to read!"

"Then read."

Lu Xiaoxiao danced happily, it seemed that if he wasn't familiar with me, he would still want to come up and hug me.

This young man, like Ah Whale, is a person full of positive energy.

He also said just now that his mother was a concubine, and within two years of being sent to the village to be raised, his mother fell ill in the inner courtyard of the deep house, and after another two years, the person was gone.

Dad doesn't hurt, mom is gone, and Mrs. Zhengfu hates him and sees him as a thorn in her side.

The family had money, but they didn't allow him to go to school.

Mrs. Masamuro was happy that he was a wild child, and she didn't have a chance to compare with her sister-in-law.

The brother-in-law who has no family affection for him, but he is in prison, he does not resent anyone, but only feels sad and regretful for his mother.

His grandfather was seriously ill and spent all the family's money for treatment.

His mother volunteered to be a concubine in the Lu Mansion for the bride price of the two gold bars.

The mother's sacrifice was only exchanged for two years of my grandfather's life.

Her sad fate made Lu Xiaoxiao teary-eyed when she mentioned it.

It is really rare for this child to grow up in such a rugged environment, but he did not grow crooked.

I guess it has a lot to do with Lao Xu's teachings.

Such a person is not a white-eyed wolf, and I can rest assured that I use it.

Since then, Lu Xiaoxiao has become my microphone, and when I have new instructions, I write them down and give them to him, and transmit them to various construction sites.

And Lao Xu was picked up by me and arranged to be a cleaning uncle in the office area.

Then I found out that this is a condescension.
