Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 781 Communication and Guidance, Hiring the Sosa Department

When he arrived near the immigrant base, the leader of Sosa saw so many Ming people, he was frightened all of a sudden, turned his head and ran back with the tribe's young and strong.

Yang Shang risked to stop him, and made another gesture to make him stop.

Then send people back and ask the Ming people to evacuate from the partially reclaimed fields.

Then Yang Shang started his performance.

He took the leader of Sosa to pick up the stones, roots and other sundries in the field that affect farming, and motioned to the leader of Sosa to work with him.

The meaning is simple. Leader Sosa didn't understand why he did this, but he happily "played" along with it.

After working for a while, Yang Shang signaled to other young men from the Sosa tribe to come and do this.

The leader of Sosa was actually very curious about what these strangely dressed but nice-looking fur people were going to do, so he asked the young and strong of the tribe to come down and follow suit.

Hundreds of natives mobilized young and strong. Although the efficiency was low, they quickly cleared away the stones and tree roots in the field of about ten mu.

At this time, Yang Shang handed a small pot of sugar and three-foot cloth to Sosa, and signaled them to go to another field to do the same work.

Although the leader of Sosa still doesn't know why the Ming people play with mud and stones here, he is very happy to get sweet white sand and beautiful soft fur through this matter.

"Say it!"

With a yell, he led a hundred young natives and ran to another field to work happily.

Not far away, Zhu Huiyan and Zuo Changshi watched this scene with interest.

After watching for a while, Yu Zan couldn't help frowning and said, "Isn't it too much to just give a small pot of sugar and a three-foot cloth for cleaning up the debris on a piece of land?"

Although the production of white sugar and cloth in Daming is quite high now, it is impossible to earn a small pot of sugar and three feet of cloth so easily.

And the manpower of the natives is that it seems that Zan should be cheaper than that of Daming, so he questioned it.

Zhu Zhixi said with a smile: "The transaction has just begun, the first thing is to gain the trust of the natives and arouse their interest.

Later, we might be able to give them a day's work with one meal.Or, with a dagger, we can get ten men to work for us for a month with the leader of the Sosa tribe.

Anyway, they don't know what is of high value and what is of low value. Is it not easy for us to hire them at a low price? "

Yu Zan didn't speak any more, but he was somewhat repulsed by Zhu Zhixi's way of using the natives' ignorance to deceive him. He felt that it would be better to hire the natives at a lower but reasonable price from the beginning to avoid future troubles.

Zhu Huiyan on the side said at this time: "Today's matter can only be regarded as an experiment. Later, we can formulate more reasonable employment rules and prices, so that the cooperation between the two parties can be long-term, and it will be convenient for us to naturalize the natives in the future."

"My son is kind-hearted, thoughtful, and has a long-term vision. This is naturally a good thing." Zhu Zhixi first praised Zhu Huiyan affirmatively, and then asked: "But what do these natives need most? Really. Sugar and cloth?"

Zhu Huiyan frowned slightly and began to think, without speaking for a while.

Zhu Zhixi said again: "According to the information reported by the pro-military, the natives here should make a living by hunting.

That is to say, they mainly obtained meat by hunting kangaroos, etc., and the women collected wild fruits and vegetables as supplements.

The natives recruited by Commander Yang today are young and strong among the natives, but most of them are short and thin. We can see that they usually have a hard time getting enough to eat, and they may even eat their last meal without eating.

Sugar is precious, but it can't fill their stomachs; although cloth is more comfortable, clean and beautiful than their fur, they can't even make clothes, and the fur is enough for them to wrap their bodies and keep warm.

Therefore, the subordinates believe that what these natives need most is actually three meals a day, and even two meals a day may be a dream for them.

If the son doesn't believe it, let his subordinates try it after the native has finished his work. "

Zhu Huiyan had actually accepted what Zhu Zhixi said, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I will leave this matter to Zuo Changshi."

Zhu Zhixi smiled and cupped his hands, "This subordinate must handle this matter well."

···
After clearing five large fields in a row, Sosa and the young men of the tribe he brought were exhausted.

This is still due to the stimulation of sugar bowls and cloth, otherwise they would not want to do it for fear of clearing two or three fields.

"Say it!"

Seeing Yang Shang walking towards another field, obviously wanting to continue working, the leader of Sosa hurriedly yelled and stopped him.

Yang Shang turned around and saw the gesture of the leader of Sosa, which was still pointing towards the sun which was clearly westward, so he knew that these natives wanted to return to the tribe.

Although the Sosa Department is only five or six miles away from the immigration base, the natives still need to walk for an hour or two. When they walk back, it is estimated that it will be dark soon.

Yang Shang then said: "Chief Sosa, why don't you leave after dinner?"

Don't forget to dance and express while speaking.

When he finished expressing, a burst of fragrance just came, which made Sosa and the young men of the tribe couldn't help moving their noses, inhaling the fragrance directly, and looking at the source of the fragrance.

Impressively, it was Zhu Zhixi who came with a group of people, carrying several large iron buckets and carrying several wooden bowls and chopsticks.

After coming over, Zhu Zhixi said with a smile: "Commander Yang, tell these local friends, let's treat them to dinner."

Yang Shang smiled and said, "That's exactly what I mean."

Immediately Yang Shang told the leader of Sosa that those big iron buckets were all for them to eat.

The leader of Sosa was overjoyed when he heard that, and immediately rushed towards the big iron bucket with the young and strong of the tribe.

Yang Shang was taken aback, and hurriedly led someone to stop them.Then it took a lot of effort to let the leader of Sosa understand that he had to queue up for dinner.

Of course, perhaps the leader of Sosa understands that those who have the ability and status to eat eat first.

So he drank the young men of the tribe, and followed Yang Shang to a big iron bucket.

When he looked inside, he saw food that he had never seen before—a piece of white flowers, with oily stars, meat grains, and leaves of wild vegetables floating in it, and it was fragrant.

There is not even a decent container in their tribe. They basically eat barbecue and drink raw water.

So, this time the leader of Sosa was really an eye-opener.

He secretly decided that no matter what he said, he would exchange these people for such a big iron bucket, so that they could also make this kind of delicious food.

Then the leader of Sosa became worried-how can I eat this delicious food?Do you hold it with your hands like drinking water?
Thinking of it this way, he was really going to put his hand into the big iron bucket.

Yang Shang hurriedly stopped him, handed over a pair of wooden bowls and chopsticks, and said, "Use this, bowl, chopsticks!"

He held the bowl in his left hand and the chopsticks in his right, explaining repeatedly.

Leader Sosa opened his mouth a few times, and he really learned the strange pronunciation.

"Play? Chopsticks?"

"Yes, bowls, chopsticks, for eating."

As he spoke, Yang Shang filled a bowl of kangaroo porridge, took a mouthful of it, and handed it over.

Leader Sosa's eyes lit up and he understood in seconds.

He can't learn to hold chopsticks, let alone use them, but it's easy to eat porridge from a bowl.

The meat porridge was no longer hot when he brought it over, so he slapped it into his mouth while holding it.

Goooooooo~
He actually dried up a large bowl of meat porridge that was neither thick nor thin in one breath!
He let out a sigh of relief, he just felt that he had lived for so long, and he had never felt so happy before, even better than when he was with a woman!

Immediately, he wanted to take the bowl and pour it directly into the iron bucket, and fill another bowl.Yang Shang quickly helped him and filled a bowl with a spoon.

After drinking the second bowl, the leader of Sosa wanted to drink more, but his stomach was already swollen and he couldn't drink any more. Although he is the leader of the tribe, there are not many chances of being completely full, so the stomach is not too big .

Afterwards, Yang Shang led the people to waste a lot of energy before letting the other people in Sosa's department divide into several teams and each drank a bowl of meat porridge.

Every native showed a satisfied expression, half lying on the ground, not wanting to leave.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhixi smiled and said to Yang Shang: "Commander Yang, tell these local friends that we are willing to hire them to work with two meals a day, and ask them if they are willing. Well, every meal is the same as this meal." almost."

Of course Yang Shang knew that the value of these two meals was nothing compared to the five small jars of sugar and the cloth he gave today.

But looking at the expressions of everyone in Sosa's department, they were obviously more satisfied with the meat porridge they had just had.

So he conveyed Zhu Zhixi's words.

The leader of Sosa was ecstatic after hearing it, nodded hurriedly, and shouted happily: "Say it!"

A group of young and strong natives also shouted happily, "Say it!"

However, Yang Shang felt that it would be a bit cheap to hire these natives for a day's work for two meals. The most important thing is that these natives are the main force of hunting in the tribe. Women and children are afraid that they will starve.

Thinking of this, he said to Zhu Zhixi: "Zhu Changshi, I want these natives to work for us with peace of mind. I'm afraid that before leaving every day, I will bring them some dry food to help the elderly, weak, women and children."

Zhu Zhixi knew why Yang Shang made such a proposal as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "What Commander Yang said is that Zhu made an omission. Then give each person a big meat dumpling every day."

The reason why it was meat dumpling instead of steamed corn bread or miscellaneous grain dumpling was because he knew that in the next half a year, before the first batch of grain was harvested, decent grain from King Hui's collar would be more valuable than meat.

　Second more.

　　Good night~
