"I'm not an adult, I'm just an electrician, responsible for installing lights and sockets in your village." He pointed to the socket box on the wall and explained: "Don't call me "adult" or let others hear you.
You’re going to laugh at me.”
He was a civilian in Fengjiang, and he went to work every day to repair electrical facilities and the like. Now he was on a business trip, and he had a lot of field work allowance, and his life was very comfortable.
But he is really far away from the so-called adults: above him there is the team leader, and above him there is the captain, the captain... The person in charge of the captain is called the director of the electrical company, and then there is the deputy
Director, Director.
In his opinion, the director of the Electric Power Bureau was old enough, but he knew that his director would not even be able to get a seat in the front row when the Fengjiang City Government held meetings.
Those sitting on the rostrum are probably the ones who are qualified to be called adults, right? However, it was not popular in the Tang Dynasty to call them adults, and they were all addressed directly to their positions.
For example, they are called mayor, district chief, etc. There are factory directors in factories, and section chiefs on railway sections. In short, few people are called adults. This title makes the electrician in front of me very uncomfortable.
"Also, those orcs and goblins who are building roads outside are slaves. They dare not make trouble. If they dare to leave the station at night, they are absconding, which is a big deal." After explaining that he was not an adult,
The electrician continued to talk to the woman.
He was very familiar with those orcs. Two or three years ago, orc labor slaves helped with the power line construction in Fengjiang.
These workers are very timid. They dare not speak loudly to humans and respond to all human requests. There are even many orc catwomen who follow these labor teams and do some service work... to make money from humans.
To be honest, compared to serving orcs, humans make a lot of money. The orc catgirls, who are already pretty, can easily get rewards from the foreman or other humans in the camp.
There is no way, these people rarely go home, and they also have needs in this regard. Anyway, the cat lady comes with her own "reproductive isolation", and they pay for it with peace of mind.
Of course, there are very few cat ladies in such poor places, and they have figured out the rules and know where the easiest place to make money is.
Generally, these cat girls will be concentrated on the fringes of the core areas of the Tang Empire. There are many jobs there, many opportunities to make money, and many people who have never seen the world. If you go further out, you will be too poor to spend money, and if you go further in, the economy will be too developed for men.
We no longer pursue this kind of pastime very much.
There are various clubs and gambling dens there, and the dishes in any restaurant are more expensive than the money these cat-eared girls sell themselves for. They don't dare to go to such a scary place to find trouble.
"Don't worry, it's no problem." The electrician was very sure that the orcs and goblins camping in tents outside were very safe, so he comforted the woman.
Although he didn't know what the rules of these people were, he had come into contact with these goblin orcs, and they were indeed "inferior".
That is the real submissiveness. Only when these orcs call him "sir" can he really accept it calmly: during construction, any request he makes will be nodded and agreed, and he will not even dare to refuse...
In fact, the electricians didn't know that the Tang Empire's strict management of these slave laborers who might cause social security and stability was terrifying.
It was impossible for Tang Mo to be humane or charitable towards these orcs and goblins. Apart from providing them with sufficient food and giving them some extra supplies, he had never shown mercy to these coolies.
According to the management methods that have been used since the Mirage Bear era, workers who leave the team will be punished as absconding and will be killed without mercy! If a worker absconds, a team of workers will be killed together; if a worker commits a crime, he will be repaid a hundred times.
To put it bluntly, it means killing, killing ten times and a hundred times! So the slaves have learned to supervise each other. If anyone has any bad ideas, the workers will kill them themselves: after all, workers are killed and injured in internal fighting and miss the work schedule.
The offender shall be punished with twenty whippings and a hundred days' labor.
Under such a harsh system, all workers are in danger, so of course it is impossible to cause any problems. Just kidding, if they work honestly, in ten years they will be able to go to the island to enjoy themselves. What idiot would look for it?
trouble?
What's more, even if it kills a lot of people, the Tang Empire can still accept almost unlimited slaves from the Orc Empire, so individual workers are extremely cheap. The loss? Non-existent.
Therefore, on both sides of the road at the entrance of the village, under the newly compacted roadbed, in tents, the orcs were sharing their food.
The lunch box contained the aroma of instant noodles ingredients, and in his hand was a ham sausage with the red plastic skin torn open - although the food of the orcs was not good, it was definitely not bad either.
They ate very happily, because tomorrow they will connect the road to the camp where the troops are stationed. Once they get there, the adults of the army will provide them with hot meals.
It is something more delicious than instant noodles. If you are lucky, you can even eat pork or beef. There is warm soup and fluffy and glutinous rice...it is so delicious!
Thinking about those things will make the orcs start drooling. Humans are so good to them. They give them food and clothing. If they do well, they can be promoted to small bosses. They are fair, just and open. It is simply better than
The Orc Empire is a hundred times better.
How could they cause trouble in a place like this? Just kidding... On such a good day, you wouldn't even change the position of the priest in the orc village, right?
In fact, they are afraid of those humans in their bones. Because the manager of the entire orc labor team is a human. As long as he gives an order, countless orc heads will fall to the ground.
The blood of the orcs who cannot resist the temptation to rebel will be sprinkled all over the roads, their heads will be piled into hills, and their corpses will be refined into fertilizer... Their souls... will be damned forever! This is not what people in the Tang Dynasty said,
It was said by their orc high priests, high shamans and big bosses. Before they came, these people would repeatedly give instructions and use the most vicious curses to intimidate the orcs who were going to work as laborers in the Tang Dynasty.
If the food hadn't been so good, if they hadn't gotten a lot of rest, if the clothes hadn't been so comfortable... I'm afraid these orcs really thought they were here to do hard labor.
But after coming to the Tang Empire, they discovered that apart from being inferior to others, they only needed to work to survive. This kind of treatment was not something they could enjoy in the Orc Empire.
Therefore...slaves will be slaves, and workers will be workers...it doesn't matter.
