At this point, Downing paused, then pointed at Pascal and continued: "If you complete the task for three consecutive years and never make mistakes, then you can become a supervisor like Pascal, and from then on you can get rid of heavy labor and engage in supervision.
management work, and there will be a significant improvement in food, living and other benefits."
If Tangning had just said this in vain, then the black slaves below would not believe it. But now that there is a ready-made example like Pascal, when the black slaves see that his clothes are much more decent and neat than other black slaves,
, with a rosy face that represents plenty of food and the majesty of giving orders at all times, they feel that what their new master says should be credible.
In fact, this was one of Tangning's reasons for quickly promoting several puppet army leaders. People are like this. As long as they can see an opportunity to change their lives, they will give up the idea of resistance, even if the opportunity is very slim. This is like the ancient imperial examination.
Although poor people all know that the possibility of children from poor families passing the Jinshi examination is very slim, as long as there is such a hope, they will be much more stable.
In fact, Tangning originally planned to tell these black slaves, "As long as you work hard for twenty years, I will give you freedom!" He believed that if he said this, these black slaves would be even more excited, but he also knew that
This kind of thing must never be said, because once he says it, the other slave owners will have to tear themselves into pieces.
And this in itself was deceiving the black slaves, because the "Civil War" would break out in three years and slavery would be completely abolished, so all the promises Tangning made at this time were meaningless.
However, even if they are free, it does not mean that the life of the black slaves will be easier in the future, because the capitalists in the north sometimes exploit the workers even more cruelly than the slave owners in the south...
After the excitement of the black slaves calmed down a little, Tangning said: "Okay, now Pascal will read and explain the rules and regulations of the manor to everyone. Everyone must pay attention. If you violate any of them,
, then you will be punished, and the time to obtain rewards will be extended accordingly."
After speaking, Tangning walked off the stage, and Pascal explained the "Downing Manor slave code" to the black slaves below: "Support the master, abide by the scope and discipline prescribed by the master. Obey the supervisor's management, receive education, participate in labor, and work seriously."
Return to the country. Love the plantation, love the master, love the collective..."
Tang Ning has always been very proud of her hand, because since the implementation of this code, the black slaves on the plantation have become much easier to manage. In fact, in Tang Ning's view, many black slaves are not dishonest, but
It's because they really don't know what they can and cannot do. After all, their original living environment and code of conduct are completely different from here. They don't feel that they have done wrong in many things, so when they suffer because of these things
If you are beaten by a supervisor, you will feel dissatisfied, leading to the accumulation of negative emotions and even rebellion and escape.
And Tang Ning has now simply stipulated in detail everything that can and cannot be done, so that the black slaves will know why they made the mistake, and everything will become easier to manage, even
Tang Ning now feels that she has too many thugs under her command. You must know that the wages of these guys are quite high.
These black slaves were managed and trained by Pascal, Mike and the supervisors and thugs, but the three little girls she had just bought could not be handed over to them, so Tangning had to train them herself. Tangning first asked the slaves in her room to
The two little girls taught the three newcomers the rules of the house and American English that they can use in daily life.
It was three days later that Tangning called the two mixed-race girls to her side. She tried her best to show a friendly face and said to them, "Caroline, Isabel, how have you been living here these days? Are you still getting used to it?
?”
Caroline, who was 1.7 meters tall, was obviously a little bolder than Isabel. She nodded and replied: "My life is very good. I have never slept on such a soft bed, and I have never tried to eat enough for three days in a row."
." Isabel on the side also nodded repeatedly, obviously Caroline spoke her mind.
After listening to Caroline's words, Tangning nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to ask, "Do you still want to go back to your hometown?"
Caroline and Isabel shook their heads repeatedly and said, "I don't want to go back. It's much better here than at home." At this point, Caroline suddenly seemed to think of something and said with some sadness: "The only regret is that I won't be able to go back anymore."
I can't see my mother anymore." But then she added randomly: "But when I left, Mr. Sheffield gave my mother a large amount of money, which I think will be enough for her future life, so she doesn't have to do those humiliating things.
Come to make money."
"As long as you do your job well and serve me comfortably, it's not impossible for Sheffield to pick up your mother next time." Tangning waved her hand and said cheerfully.
Caroline's eyes lit up and she asked in disbelief: "Boss, are you telling the truth? Are you really willing to take my mother over and live a good life?"
PS: I was indeed inspired and influenced by Aoyama when I wrote this book, but it is definitely different from his direction. At least the mistakes he made will not be repeated again, and I have already told him about it, so we are relatively familiar with him.
