I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 802, Jewel Island
Tianzhu, Sinhala Island!
Since Yan Liang led an army to conquer Sinhala Island three years ago, the frontier of Dagan Sea has been stretched thousands of miles.This is a great thing for all the sea merchants who run the Tianzhu waterway. With a large navy to wipe out the endless Tianzhu pirates, their safety has become more guaranteed.

But Yan Liang and the others had a pleasant surprise. A soldier thought they had discovered a gem mine on this island. Soon after hearing the news, a large number of maritime merchants came to buy gems. Yan Liang and the others also had a huge source of income.

After the sea merchants knew that there were gemstone mines on the island, they also brought a large amount of materials and Yan Liang for them to trade. With these sea merchants providing logistics materials, Yan Liang Island carried out infrastructure construction, stone piers, giant lighthouses, With the construction of infrastructure and military facilities such as Wubao roads, Dagan's power in Tianzhu has grown rapidly, and at the same time he also renamed the island to Jewel Island!
"Quickly dig!" Xiao Lang waved the whip and shouted, "Hurry up!"

The long whip is sounded from time to time, warning these Tianzhu miners not to be lazy!
The mining area is the most important place in the entire gem island. After Yan Liang discovered the gem mine, he captured a large number of Tianzhu people on the island to mine, and the sea merchants often brought young and strong labor from Tianzhu to ensure the safety of the gem mine. Yield!
It's just that the Tianzhu people are too sneaky and cunning. If there are not enough supervisors and supervision, the production capacity of the gemstone mine will not increase at all.

However, Yan Liang also knew that his behavior was a bit of a taboo against big officials, so he asked the sea merchants to find a way to get a group of big officials who wanted to make a fortune to work here as supervisors.

Xiao Lang was originally the son of a commoner in Yangzhou. His family has more than a hundred acres of land, so he doesn't have to worry about food and drink. Moreover, he has been in elementary school for several years because of the promotion of compulsory education.But he was not smart enough to go to middle school, and his family was not enough to let him go to middle school at his own expense, so his father wanted him to come back to inherit the family business and become a farmer.

But Xiao Lang, who has gained some insight, does not want to live the same life as his father. He longs for wealth, likes to listen to overseas stories, and wants to live in a city with better living conditions, but there are limited jobs in the city, like him It is difficult to find a job in such a situation.

Originally, he had given up his mind and planned to follow his father's instructions to take a loan from the imperial court to cultivate wasteland, and to be a farmer for the rest of his life.

But he didn't expect that there were marine merchants in the city, and he wanted to recruit some people to do things in Tianzhu. He heard that he could earn 10 yuan a year, so he decisively signed a five-year contract, and then he was dragged by the marine merchants to Jewel Island to become a Overseer is gone.

He is supervising the Tianzhu people of these mines. These Tianzhu people are extremely lazy. As long as they don't see them for a while, they must be lazy, so that he has to keep scanning the four directions to supervise the Tianzhu people!And the Tianzhu people can only slow down their movements to be lazy under the whip, but they dare not stop!

"Brother Xiao, get off work!" A man younger than Xiao Lang shouted!

Xiao Lang replied: "Understood!"

Then a group of people came to take Xiao Lang's class!
On the way, Xiao Lang approached the young man just now and said: "Little Lazy, there is a new task from above, and they want us to train a group of Tianzhu people who can speak dry words as the team leaders at the grassroots level! I remember that you seem to have learned Tianzhu dialect and they There is no barrier to communication, you can give it a try!"

Xiaolan shook his head and said, "Don't do it, I'm already tired enough to supervise the work every day, and I have to teach these idiots how to talk, it's too tiring!"

Xiaolan is the youngest of this group of people. He was only 14 years old when he first arrived here. Through communication, everyone knew that Xiaolan used to be a Han Chinese, and he was from a wealthy family. Later, his family was beaten by the ruling party to Nanzhong. , the family was also defeated, and then he was fooled by the sea merchant for some reason, and boarded a boat to Tianzhu to come to this jewel island.

Here in Tianzhu, there is no distinction between Han people and dry people, everyone is their own, and he is the youngest, and everyone takes good care of him because of his poor background.

It may be that he is fast at elementary school at his age, or it may be that he has a high cultural quality. After coming to Jewel Island, he quickly learned Tianzhu dialect, and this is why Xiao Lang told him the news. He also wanted to teach Tianzhu People, but he can't speak Tianzhu dialect at all!
When Xiao Lang heard him quit, he said angrily: "As mentioned above, you can get 1000 yuan for teaching one person, and 100 yuan for teaching 10 Tianzhu people to speak Chinese. This is almost a year's salary. You know that The money in Dahan is enough for a family to work hard for several years!"

But Xiaolan smiled and said: "But on Jewel Island, it is at most one year's salary, and it may not even cost a year!"

There are almost no gems on Gem Island. Food, cloth, and tools all need to be transported by sea. This makes the prices on Gem Island several times more expensive than Daqian, and some are even more than ten times more!
But he asked strangely: "What does General Yan Liang want to do? What do you want to teach the people of Tianzhu Chinese?"

Xiao Lang said: "It seems that General Yan Liang wants to do a lot of infrastructure construction on Baoshi Island, and the number of supervisors needs to increase." Then he sighed: "But the general doesn't want to add too many dry people, after all, we are too expensive!"

There are more than 6000 soldiers and Han people in charge of logistics on Gem Island, and these years have cost more than 1 million in salary every month, which is more than one billion a year!

Baoshi Island is too remote, and the salary is not high, so no one is willing to come here. At the beginning, the salary set by Yan Liang was that everyone can earn 10 yuan here. Such a high price attracts people to work here, but the person in charge of logistics can earn [-] yuan a year. Earning [-] yuan, what does Yan Liang's soldiers think?
Yan Liang had no choice but to report to the imperial court to increase the subsidy of his subordinates, and the Jidu imperial court considered that there were gemstone mines on the island, and the place was indeed remote, so they wanted to increase the treatment of soldiers.

So he promised to subsidize the soldiers with the proceeds of gems, so the 5000 soldiers under Yan Liang became the soldiers with the highest salary in the entire Dagan. Even though Yan Liang owns a gemstone mine, he still spends a lot of time picking and searching. If he wants to do a lot of infrastructure construction, he must find a way to get some cheap Tianzhu supervisors!

Then Xiao Lang persuaded: "If you can make more money, make as much money as possible, and then find a way to go back to Dagan. You don't want to live with a wild place like Jewel Island for the rest of your life!"

Although there is a lot of money here, it is still a wild place in a foreign land for Xiao Lang. He has always had the idea of ​​going back to work. Every day he said that he would spend the last month here, but every month he saw his five-figure salary. Savings, but also reluctant to work with such a high salary.

Here he is a noble cadre, a middle-level cadre in charge of more than 100 workers, but when he returned to Dagan, he was just a farmer's son, with only a few hundred yuan of income every month, or going to the government office to divide 100 mu The land, in the future, faces the loess and the back faces the sky.

As soon as he thought of this, he sighed, and then became determined. If he wanted to make more money here, he had better become a millionaire directly, so that even if he went back to Dagan, he could directly move to the city. Live in the city and become a city dweller.
