The drainage and irrigation project in the swamp could not be delayed, this must be rushed to time, Menes finished dealing with the affairs of the army, and rushed to the swamp again the next day to supervise the progress of the project.

Before entering the construction site, I heard the sound of swearing coming from the construction site.

"You damn pariah, smelly, dirty, and lazy, and you actually came over to talk to me about conditions, do you deserve it?

The sound of whipping and screaming of pain can be heard in the distance!

"Do a bunch of untouchables want to rebel? Don't go to work, look, sir, I'm a nobleman by nature, and I'm going to whip you bastards. ”

"Why did you hit my father?" cried a little child.

"Yes, why did you hit him?" the others shouted indignantly.

Menes frowned at the noise and quickened her pace.

When some people saw Menes coming, they immediately quieted down, and the people knelt on the ground to salute Menes, and Menes was very unaccustomed to this kind of big gift, but it didn't work, and everyone still did so.

Senid was a nobleman who didn't need to kneel down to Menes, standing in place with a whip, looking domineering, staring at the people viciously.

Menes saw the leader of the people kneeling on the ground, his face still bleeding, apparently whipped from the whip, and a boy of eleven or twelve years old next to him also knelt on the ground with his head bowed.

Menes waved his hand to get everyone up, and he stepped forward to help the leading miner up, but the man knelt on the ground and refused to get up, and said to Menes, "Untouchable, Winupher, bow down to Lord Menes, please listen to the untouchables!"

"Hey, you pariah, you dare to sue, you rebelled, who gave you the guts to speak?" Senid scolded.

Senid didn't wait for Menes to speak, and then rushed to say, "Dear Lord Menes, it's too dirty here, let's go to the camp and talk." ”

Menes squinted at Senid and said, "What's going on?"

"Hey, my lord, you don't know that these untouchables are lazy, they just start to do a little work and have to rest, they are going to rebel, they are really a bunch of untouchables, you don't have to worry about it, I'll teach them, a group of untouchables......"

Before Senid finished speaking, he was slapped heavily in the face, and the whole person spun around and fell to the ground, half of his face was swollen.

Senid covered his face in pain and looked at Menes in a daze!

All the people present looked at Menes in astonishment.

Menes pointed to Senid and said, "I don't want to hear the word untouchables anymore, they are all our villagers, we are all our co-workers, remember?"

Senid covered his face and didn't know what to say, they were a bunch of untouchables, that's their name, what's wrong with calling me that way for hundreds of years? Is it wrong for me to be a nobleman calling them untouchables? Is this the same wrong thing as a father yelling at his son?

What are these words, these are not the words of the aristocracy!

Senid struggled to get up from the ground in anger, and before he could refute, Menes snatched the whip from his hand, pointed at Senid and said, "Now speak well, and if I hear a disrespectful word from you again, I'll let Number 3 whip you with this whip." ”

Menes' brutal, crazy, and uneasy style of playing cards may not be too clear to ordinary people, but everyone in aristocratic circles remembers it deeply.

Senid didn't have the courage to challenge Menes, so he could only suppress his anger, pointing to Winuphor who was kneeling on the ground and said, "This is a cheap ...... , not this people, not workers, openly contradicting the aristocracy, instigating everyone to strike, not obeying the command, lazy. ”

"My lord, it's not like that, listen to me!" Winover, kneeling on the ground, waved his hand in denial.

"Get up and speak!"

Winover got up from the ground trembling and said, "My lord, we are not lazy, we have been working since the sun has not risen in the morning, and we have not been lazy at all until now, we are so tired that we want to take a rest, Lord Senid is not allowed, you look at such a heavy stone, you want us to transport it ourselves, how can we do it without a break? I will tell him that he will beat me." ”

Senid said angrily, "My lord, don't listen to this person's nonsense, this morning's work is very easy, it didn't take much effort, I also want to hurry up the construction period, so I didn't approve a break, this person took the lead in instigating everyone to strike!"

"How easy is the work of opening a mountain, my lord?" said Winover.

Menes beckoned to Senid and said, "Are you tired?"

"Don't be tired, sir! "Senid took the opportunity to make a fool of himself.

"Oh, well, you go and move the stones, and everyone is tired and rest first!" Menes said calmly.

"Huh?" Senid couldn't believe it, thinking he had misheard.

"That's what you just said, you need to hurry up the deadline, and you're not tired, so you go and do it. Menis said with a shrug.

"But...... But...... My lord, I am a nobleman, how can a nobleman do such a thing? I am a scribe, a foreman?" Senid argued.

Menes looked at Senid in disgust and said, "There are only co-workers here, no nobles, and you are no longer a foreman, you are now a minman." ”

"No. 3, take Senid to open the mountain and carry the stones, he is not tired and strong now!" Menes did not give Senid a chance to continue his defense.

When Senid saw No. 3 approaching slowly, he was so frightened that he ran up the hill, and No. 3 put the quarried stones on the skid, put a rope on Senid, and urged him to pull the stones.

The other folks couldn't help but laugh quietly when they saw this.

The eleven or twelve-year-old boy suddenly walked up to Menes and knelt down and said, "Dear Lord Menes, I am Didia, the son of Winnufer, and I have something important to report!"

Menes lifted the boy up and said, "Get up and say, the man has gold under his knees, don't kneel down at every turn, you say!"

"My lord, Lord Senid didn't just beat my father because of the rest, the main reason was that Lord Senid wanted to embezzle our rations, and my father found out, so he wanted to take revenge on us!"

And this kind of thing? Just a few days after the project started, they wanted to embezzle money? It was simply lawless, and the people's rations had to be embezzled?

It seems that no matter in that world, engineering projects are always good projects for corruption.

Menes yelled, "Number 3, look at Senid, he has nothing to eat today, and he can't stop working until the sun goes down and brings him to me." ”

No. 3 nodded in response from afar, and Lord Senid still wanted to cry, but was scared back by No. 3.

Menes looked at Winnufer and said, "Are you literate, how many years have you been a craftsman?"

Winnufo hurriedly replied, "My lord, untouchable...... Oh, no villagers have been learning language and writing in the temple since childhood, literate and able to write, and the ancestral family of craftsmen has been engaged in this industry for more than 20 years. ”

"Okay! From today onwards, you will be the foreman here, and if you have any problems, report them directly to me!"

"Huh?" Winover was taken aback!

"Don't be surprised, I don't have any nobles or nobles here, whoever has the ability will do it, whoever dares to be corrupt, abuse his power and don't do things well, I will not be merciful. ”

"You don't have to shirk, this job is not easy, I asked you to be the foreman to make you responsible, if you miss my deadline, you will also be punished, understand?" Menes said in an irrefutable tone.

"From today onwards, you will be paid according to the standard of the foreman, and you will add 5 points for today's work, and your son will add 10 points, a good boy with courage!" Menes praised.
