Chapter 546 The Foundation of the Rise of the Empire (Second Update, please subscribe)
The train roared on the Patagonian plateau, and the desolate land was all outside the window.

Compared to the richness of the Pampas, Patagonia is desolate, a desolate land made up of vast semi-arid steppes and deserts.

But despite the desolation here, there are a lot of treasures buried in this land-Nanhua's largest iron mine, coal mine and copper mine are all located on this land.

Dozens of mines stand on this sparsely populated wasteland, and it is those mines that support Nanhua's industrial development.

After a day and a night of driving, the empty train finally drove through a mine surrounded by barbed wire. When the train entered, the conductor on the train could see the slogan on the gate - "Work Brings Freedom" !
On the sentry tower between the barbed wire fences, the guards with rifles are always vigilantly looking inside the mine. The mine is full of black, black coal, and black people—even white people. After entering the coal mine, after they Also comes out as "black".

"beep!"

With the sound of the siren, soon the mine was full of people again, very lively.The miners who came out of the mine tunnel all looked exhausted.

Although they were exhausted, when they came out, they still couldn't help looking up at the sky. It seemed that sunshine was an extremely rare treasure for them, but for those who had worked in the mine for twelve hours, sunshine It is indeed precious.

Many of them even stretched out their hands to feel the sunshine.

"Increase quota by 10%!"

Standing in the office, Song Kejie stared at the prisoners who were feeling the sunshine and said.

"What the imperial court needs now is coal. Increased 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 The enthusiasm of..."

After thinking about it, Song Kejie said.

"Our policy is to cure diseases and save people. As long as they complete the transformation here, just like the saying on the gate-"Labor leads to freedom", as long as they are willing to accept the transformation and get rid of those problems on their bodies, they will definitely be able to get Free!"

“Exactly what the manager said!”

Standing behind the manager, Ding Peng flattered him.

"Speaking of it, it means that the imperial court is lenient. If it were placed in the Qing Dynasty, rebellious officials and thieves like them would have to kill all the families and kill the nine clans one by one. But our Daming, that is lenient! That is, they themselves were punished. Locked up, locked up, not beheaded, for what? Isn't it to cure diseases and save lives!"

Talking about Daming's generosity, Ding Peng couldn't understand it, of course he couldn't understand, these people will be sent to Africa after several years of hard labor in the mines, and they will settle down in the African colonies. The classmate said that in the China-Africa Company and the Guinea Company, these people passed by, and they were all doing their best. Not only could they live a peaceful life, they even gave them wives.

Even in Daming, it is not likely that the government will issue wives. Ordinary immigrants who want to marry can only hire maids, such as Japanese girls, Annan girls, and Nanyang women.That's a ticket!
But what about these people?
When they arrived in Africa, there would be local women to take care of their daily life. Whether it was these white pigs or black pearls, they were masters with no propriety, morality, integrity, and lack of education. Taking care of them, they hooked up and rolled together. bed.

In recent years, there have not been many children with milk and coffee in Africa.But because of this, they will live there with peace of mind.

In fact, my wife is still hot on the kang, where is not life?
"Your Majesty is benevolent!"

Song Kejie sighed.

"Throughout the ages, who can have the benevolence and righteousness of His Majesty? Hey, it's a pity that these people don't know good or bad, and they don't know. They are grateful for His Majesty's kindness. But this is also our responsibility. Toil their minds and muscles first, without such a transformation, how can they understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts."

Watching the train coming into the mine, Song Kejie specially warned.

"Here comes another group of people. Although they are "disappeared people", they cannot disappear here. 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 Daming, every labor force is extremely precious, there is no way, after all, Daming only has a population of more than [-] million people, even if [-] million of them are European or mixed European, so what?

They are also a part of the empire, and they are also a good labor force. Of course, they must give full play to their role. Even those involved in the rebellion mainly focus on transformation.

massacre?

The kind of things that barbarians do must be done by Europeans. Daming... the majestic dynasty, how could it be possible to do such a thing?

Don’t say that you can’t do this kind of thing, even slaves—Da Ming doesn’t know how to use slaves, even when the mines require a lot of labor, he doesn’t use slaves like the Americans and Brazilians, such barbaric things, Of course I won't do it,
As a civilized country, in the face of the actual demand of 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 employment of 30 16-36-year-old laborers in the next two years..."

Chen Wenqiang, the minister of the Colonial Department, took a special look at the "labor contract" that had just been drawn up when he ordered the secretary to draft the recruitment documents.

"The contracting party must do all the specified labor for any master who holds this contract within 8 years from the day when he arrives at the shore without disease or starts working 10 days after the disease is cured, 12 hours a day, with Sunday off... Laborers must be given 200 grams of meat and 1500 grams of sweet potatoes as rations. Expenses such as shipping accommodations paid in advance to laborers will be deducted from their previous wages.”

After examining the labor contract, Chen Wenqiang couldn't help sighing that Westerners really put a lot of thought into the "labor contract".

This is directly translated by him based on the "labor contract" signed by Westerners and Chinese workers. Advanced experience needs to be absorbed!
"Send this contract to the two companies together and tell them that they must follow the contract and sign a Chinese version of the contract with everyone. They must sign or press their fingerprints, you know?"

This is a standard contract labor employment method. Chinese workers will also sign a similar contract before going to sea. Correspondingly, there is an English or Spanish version contract signed by the employer's agent.

"And what about their wages?"

The secretary looked at the content of the contract and found that the salary clause was blank, so he asked casually.

"Refer to the local standard. The monthly "salary" of each worker is... 1 yuan, which should be about the same!"

Since they are overseas workers, they must refer to the local standards, and they are also provided with food and lodging!Not only that, but also give them clothes.

This salary is not low!
For a moment, Chen Wenqiang felt that he was too kind to pay those people such high wages.

In fact, for them, they don't need wages at all, just a few more grains or some wine every month.

But there is no way, Ming is Ming 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. Daming will never treat others badly, let alone regard contracted laborers as slaves like Europeans. Chinese workers are human beings.

Of course, Daming would never do that.
