The train roared as it drove through the Patagonian plateau, and all the desolate land could be seen outside the window.
Compared to the richness of the Pampas, Patagonia is desolate. This desolate land consists of vast semi-arid grasslands and deserts.
However, although it is desolate, there are a lot of treasures buried in this land - the largest iron mine, coal mine and copper mine in South China are located on this land.
Dozens of mines stand on this vast and sparsely populated wasteland, and it is those mines that support Nanhua's industrial development.
After driving for a day and a night, the empty train finally drove into a mine surrounded by barbed wire. When the train entered, the conductor on the car could see the slogan on the gate - "Work brings freedom."
!
On the sentry tower between the barbed wire fences, guards holding rifles were always looking at the inside of the mine with vigilance. The mine was full of black, black coal, and black people—even white people. After entering the coal mine, they
He will also become "black" when he comes out.
"All!"
With the sound of the whistle, soon the mine was filled with people and it was very lively. The miners who came out of the mine tunnel all looked exhausted.
Although they were exhausted, they still couldn't help but look up at the sky when they walked out. It seemed that for them, sunlight was an extremely rare treasure, but for those who had worked in the mine for twelve hours, sunlight was
It is indeed precious.
Many of them even stretched out their hands to feel the sunshine.
"Increase the quota by 10%!"
Standing in the office, Song Kejie stared at the prisoners who were feeling the sunshine and said.
"What the court needs now is coal. Increasing production will help the development of industry and commerce and ease market demand. We also have to play our role. However, if we increase production by 10%, they will definitely complain. We must fully mobilize them
positivity…”
After thinking about it, Song Kejie said.
"Our policy is to treat illnesses and save people. As long as they complete the transformation here, as it says on the door - "Labor leads to freedom." As long as they are willing to accept transformation and get rid of the problems they have, they will definitely be able to achieve success in the future.
It’s free!”
“What the manager said is true!”
Standing behind the manager, Ding Peng flattered him.
"Speaking of which, it means that the court is lenient. If it were left in the Qing Dynasty, rebellious officials and traitors like them would have to be executed one by one and the nine tribes would be killed. But our Ming Dynasty is lenient! It means that they themselves were killed.
Locked up, locked up, and not decapitated, what’s the purpose? Isn’t it just to treat illnesses and save people?”
Ding Peng couldn't understand the magnanimity of the Ming Dynasty. Of course he couldn't understand it. After these people worked in the mines for a few years, they would be sent to Africa and settle down in the African colonies. But Ding Peng heard that
My classmates said that in the China-Africa Company and the Guinea Company, when these people went there, they were very powerful. Not only could they live a happy life, but they would even be given wives.
Even here in the Ming Dynasty, there are not necessarily officials who provide wives. Ordinary immigrants who want to get wives can only hire maids, such as Japanese girls, Annan girls, Nanyang women, etc. That's it.
You have to pay for it!
But what about these people?
When they arrived in Africa, there were local women to take care of their daily lives. Whether it was these white-skinned pigs or black pearls, they were all without propriety, integrity, and lack of education. They took care of them, so they hooked up and got together.
There's a bed.
In recent years, there have been many more milk-and-coffee children in Africa. But it is precisely because of this that they can live there with peace of mind.
In fact, my wife is still hot on the kang, where can I not live?
"Your Majesty is kind and righteous!"
Song Kejie sighed.
"Who can be as benevolent and righteous as your Majesty in the past and present? Alas, it's a pity that these people don't know what is good or bad, and they don't know how to be grateful for your kindness. But this is also our responsibility. God will give great responsibilities to these people, and they must
They have to work hard on their minds and muscles first. Without such transformation, how can they understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts?"
Looking at the train entering the mine, Song Kejie specifically warned.
"Here comes another group of people. Although they are "disappeared people", they cannot disappear from us. You need to strengthen management, not only to let them complete production tasks according to quality and quantity, but also to ensure their safety.
, you know, after all, even they are very precious labor force!"
labor force!
For the Ming Dynasty, every labor force is extremely precious. There is no way. After all, the Ming Dynasty only has a population of more than 8 million. Even if 3 million of them are Europeans or Europeans of mixed race, so what?
They are also part of the empire and a good labor force. Of course, they must give full play to their role. Even those involved in the rebellion are mainly focused on transformation.
massacre?
That kind of thing that only barbarians did must have been done by Europeans. How could the Ming Dynasty... the mighty dynasty do such a thing?
Not to mention that they don’t know how to do such things, even slaves - Ming Dynasty will not use slaves. Even when the mines require a large number of laborers, they will not use slaves like Americans and Brazilians, such barbaric things.
Of course I won’t do it,
As a civilized country, faced with the actual demand for a large number of laborers in the North Sea, the Immigration Department did not consider getting any slaves, but directly sent telegrams to the Central African Company and the New Guinea Company.
"In order to meet the production needs of the mine, the company must complete the hiring of 300,000 prime-age laborers aged 16-36 in the next two years..."
As Minister of the Colonial Ministry, Chen Wenqiang, when he asked his secretary to draft the recruitment documents, he took a special look at the "labor contract" he had just drafted.
"The contracting party must do all specified labor for any master holding this contract within 10 years starting from the date of arrival without illness or eight days after the illness is cured, 12 hours a day, Sunday off...the master every day
The workers must be given 200 grams of meat and 1,500 grams of sweet potatoes as rations. The advance payment for the ship space and other expenses for the workers will be deducted from the initial wages."
After reviewing the labor contract, Chen Wenqiang couldn't help but sigh that Westerners really put a lot of thought into the "labor contract".
This is what he directly translated based on the "labor contract" signed by Westerners and Chinese workers. Advanced experience must be learned!
"Send this contract to both companies and tell them that they must follow the contract. Everyone must sign a Chinese version of the contract. They must sign or fingerprint it, do you understand?"
This is a standard contract labor employment method. Chinese workers will sign a similar contract before going overseas. Correspondingly, there is an English or Spanish version of the contract signed by the employer's agent.
"What about their wages?"
The secretary looked at the contents of the contract and found that the salary clause was blank, so he asked casually.
"Let's refer to the local standards. The "salary" of each worker per month is... 1 yuan, which should be about the same!"
Since they are overseas workers, they must refer to local standards, and food and accommodation are also included! Not only that, they will also be given clothes.
This salary is not low anymore!
For a moment, Chen Wenqiang felt that he was too kind, actually offering those people such high wages.
In fact, they don't need wages at all, just a few more mouthfuls of food or some wine every month.
But there is no other way. The Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty after all, not those countries in Europe that don’t know what etiquette and shame are.
Since they are hired laborers, they will definitely be paid. The Ming Dynasty will never treat others badly, let alone treat indentured laborers as slaves like the Europeans did. Just like they did to Chinese workers in the past, they exploited them in every possible way and never took any money.
Chinese workers are human beings.
Of course, Daming would definitely not do this.
