Chapter 781 Communication and Guidance, Hiring the Sosa Ministry

When he arrived near the immigration base, the leader of Sosa saw that there were so many Ming people, and suddenly became scared. He turned his head and ran back with his tribe.

Yang Shang took the risk to stop him, and another gesture made him stop.

Then he sent someone back and asked the Ming people to evacuate from the partially reclaimed half of the fields.

Then Yang Shang started his performance.

He took the leader of Sousa to pick up the stones, tree roots and other debris in the fields that affected the farming, and signaled the leader of Sousa to work with him.

The meaning is simple. The leader of Sousa didn't understand why he did this, but he happily started to "play" with him.

After working for a while, Yang Shang signaled that other young men from Sosa tribes would come over to do this.

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

Hundreds of local young and strong people came out to mobilize. Although they were inefficient, they quickly cleaned up the stones, tree roots, etc. in the field, which was about ten acres.

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

Although the leader of Sousa still did not know why the wise man played with soil and stones here, he was happy to obtain sweet white sand and beautiful soft fur through this incident.

"Say Sa!"

He shouted, and then he took a hundred local young men and strong men to another field and started to work.

Not far away, Zhu Huiyan and the left and right chiefs watched this scene with interest.

After looking at it for a while, Yu Zan couldn't help but frown and said, "Is it a bit too much to clean up a piece of debris in the land and give a small can of sugar and three-foot cloth?"

Although the production of white sugar and cloth in the Ming Dynasty is quite high, it is impossible to make such a small jar of sugar and three-foot cloth.

Moreover, the local people's human resources seemed to be cheaper than the Ming Dynasty, so he questioned it.

Zhu Zhixi smiled and said, "The transaction has just begun now, and the main thing is to gain the trust of the natives and arouse their interest.

Afterwards, we might be able to use a meal to make them do the work for a day. Or, with a dagger, the leader of the Sosa tribe, exchanged ten people for a month to do the work for us.

Anyway, they don’t know what is high and what is low. It’s not easy for us to hire them at a low price?"

Yu Zan didn't say anything, but he was a little disgusted with Zhu Zhixi's method of using the ignorance of the natives to deceive him. He felt that it was better to hire natives at a lower but reasonable price from the beginning to avoid future troubles.

Zhu Huiyan, who was standing by, said at this time: "Today's affairs can only be considered as a test. Later, we can formulate more reasonable employment rules and prices. Only in this way can the cooperation between the two parties last for a long time and facilitate us to become natives in the future."

"The prince is kind-hearted, thoughtful, and has a long-term vision. This is naturally a good thing." Zhu Zhixi praised Zhu Huiyan with affirmative comments when he heard this, and then asked: "But the prince thinks, what do these natives need the most?

Sugar and cloth?”

Zhu Huiyan frowned slightly and began to ponder, not saying anything for a moment.

Zhu Zhixi also said: "According to the information reported by the personal army, the natives here should make a living by hunting.

In other words, they mainly rely on hunting kangaroos to obtain meat, and then women collect wild fruits, wild vegetables, etc. as supplements.

The natives recruited by Commander Yang today are already young and strong among the natives, but most of them are short and thin. It can be seen that they usually have difficulty eating enough, and they may even have no meals after eating the last meal and cannot fill their stomachs.

Although white sugar is precious, it cannot 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 keep their bodies warm.

Therefore, subordinates believe that what these natives need most is actually a stable three meals a day, or even two meals a day, for them, may be their dreams.

If the prince doesn’t believe it, wait until the natives finish their work, let their subordinates try it out.”

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

Zhu Zhixi smiled and bowed, "I must do this well."

···

After cleaning up five large fields in a row, Sosa and the young and strong tribe he brought were so tired.

This is because of the irritation of sugar bowls and cloth, otherwise they would not want to do it if they had cleaned two or three pieces of the field.

"Say Sa!"

Seeing Yang Shang walking towards another field and obviously going to continue working, the leader of Sosa hurriedly shouted and grabbed him.

Yang Shang turned around and looked at the gesture of the leader Sousa, pointing to the obviously westward sun in the middle, and knew that these natives wanted to return to the tribe.

Although the Sousa tribe is only five or six miles away from the immigration base, the natives need to walk for an hour or two. When they walk back, it is probably going to be dark.

Yang Shang then said, "Captain Sousa, why don't you leave after dinner?"

When you speak, you don’t forget to express yourself with your hands and feet.

After he finished expressing it, a scent of fragrance came, making Sosa and the young tribe couldn't help but move their noses one by one, sucking the fragrance straight, and looking at the source of the fragrance.

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

After coming over, Zhu Zhixi smiled and said, "Commander Yang, tell these native friends that we will invite them to dinner."

Yang Shang smiled and said, "I am just thinking this."

Then Yang Shang and the leader of Sousa said that the big iron buckets were for them to eat.

The leader of Sosa was so happy that he immediately took the tribe's green and strong man to rush towards the place where the iron barrel was.

Yang Shang was startled and hurriedly led people to stop them. Then he took some time to make the leader of Sosa understand that he had to queue up for dinner.

Of course, perhaps what the leader of Sousa understands is that people with ability to eat and those with status eat first.

So he drank the tribe's young and strong man, and he followed Yang Shang to a big iron bucket first.

When he looked inside, it was a piece of food he had never seen before - a white piece of flowers, with oil stars and meat granules, and wild vegetable leaves, which were fragrant.

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

So, this time the leader of Sousa is really eye-opening.

He secretly decided that he would exchange these people for such a big iron bucket, so that they could make such fragrant food.

Then the leader of Sousa was worried - how to eat this fragrant food? Do you hold it with your hands like drinking water?

Thinking of this, he was really ready to put his hand into the big iron bucket.

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

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

The leader of Sosa opened his mouth several times and really learned strange pronunciation.

"Play? Chopsticks?"

"Yes, bowls, chopsticks, for eating."

As he said that, Yang Shang served a bowl of kangaroo meat porridge, demonstrated that he took a bite and handed it over.

The leader of Sosa's eyes lit up and understood in seconds.

He can't learn to take chopsticks for a while, let alone use them, but it's easy to drink porridge with a bowl.

The meat porridge was no longer hot when carried over, so he held it and whispered it into his mouth.

Gulugulu~

He actually dried a large bowl of meat porridge that was neither thick nor thin in one breath!

He breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he had lived for so long and had never felt so good before. He was more happy than when he was with a woman!

Then he wanted to take the bowl and directly slam it into the iron bucket and serve another bowl. Yang Shang quickly helped him and served a bowl in a spoon.

After drinking the second bowl, the leader of Sosa wanted to drink it again, but his stomach was already bloated and he couldn't drink it anymore - although he was the leader of the tribe, he usually had no chance of eating completely, so his stomach was not too big

.

Afterwards, Yang Shang and his men sacked their strength before they let the other members of the Sosa tribe 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: "Master Yang, you told these native friends that we are willing to hire them to work for two meals a day, and ask them if they are willing. Well, every meal is like this meal.

almost."

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

But looking at the expressions of the Sousa tribe, I was obviously more satisfied with the meat porridge I drank just now.

So he conveyed Zhu Zhixi's words.

The leader of Sosa understood it and nodded quickly, and shouted happily: "Say Sa!"

The young and strong natives also shouted happily, "Say!"

Yang Shang felt that it would be a bit cheap to hire these natives to do a day of work for two meals. The most important thing is that these natives are the main force in hunting in the tribe. If they all come to work, no one will hunt, and the tribe is old and weak.

Women and children are afraid they will go hungry.

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

Zhu Zhixi knew why Yang Shang proposed this as soon as he heard it, and smiled and said, "What Commander Yang said is that Zhu missed it. Then let's give each person a big meat dumpling every day."

The reason why it is meat dumplings, not steamed buns or mixed grain dumplings is because he knows that in the next half year, before the first batch of grain harvest, King Hui will be more valuable than meat.

Second update.

Good night ~
