a very dark dark guard

Chapter 210 Internal Selection

It is impossible to take sick leave, but there is salary, weekends and weekends, three meals a day are free, and there is no place for consumption on the island, so all the money earned can be saved.The whole silver is not easy to distribute to them, and the copper plates are too much and too heavy. I hired gold craftsmen to make pure gold and pure silver into round shapes of the same size according to the number of grams.

One silver coin is a month's wages, one tael.

A gold coin is a year's wages and weighs more than one tael.

Salary can be received monthly or annually.

I still have a little understanding of where people will spend money when they have money in their pockets.

Therefore, the rules were established early on, and pornography, gambling, and drug entertainment are prohibited on Treasure Island.

Prisoners come to stay in prison, and sailors work here as service.

Although I will pay the prisoners and let them take vacations, I don't ask them to come to the entertainment city for vacation.

Work is still the main theme of their lives.

The salaries of the sailors are paid by Haixianbao, and those who are willing to send them home, the military camp will send the money back to their families on their behalf.

If you want to keep the account for yourself, you can get it together when you go back from Treasure Island.

Guard Jia is a natural gossip reporter, he goes deep into the masses when he comes, either sitting by a well with a group of women to wash clothes, or going fishing with people.

He also went through the pile of prisoners, and he also joined the bridge repair team of the navy.

I specially cooked honeysuckle fat sea water for him, and asked him to take it out. It was also the first time I saw someone talking, and my voice became hoarse.

The guard Xin Lai was specially appointed to be our nanny. Xiao Jiao originally wanted to come along, but the business of the inn was so booming that she was familiar with it, so she couldn't find someone to take her place.

She is my confidant, so the substitute must be someone I can trust.

However, everyone in the Devil's Cult who I can trust is so busy that they hit the back of their heads.

Cheng Feiguang was drawing manga in a hurry, and he had already suffered from hair loss.

Xiaojiao handed over the responsibility of 'assistant' to Xin, and told him to take good care of Yunzhou and me in daily life, and if he didn't need it in life, he should be a secretary at work.

I just need such a person by my side to help me with chores, such as the request for instructions handed up from below, which is a mess.

Although the people in charge of each department are literate and can write, there is no uniform writing standard. Some people write vertically, some write horizontally, and the writing is big and small. The paper used for writing notes is even more varied. Using bark and leaves, the most talented one used a clay tablet and carved words on it.

Every time I see the request slips piled up on the table, I feel like I am a primitive head teacher.

Guard Xin built a kitchen under the tree house, and only cooked breakfast and dinner for me every day, and we ate in the office area at noon.

He is in my office during the day, dealing with miscellaneous documents.

The person who handed over the note will hand it over to him directly. Anyone who wants to see me and talk to me can also make an appointment with him.

That gave me time to move around before I discovered a group of prisoners enslaving other prisoners.

There is no overseer watching, and the workload is fixed, so for some, he can get a day off just by forcing others to do his job.

Some pirates have done this before, and I found it and threw it into the wormhole.

The worm pit is an artificial "instrument of torture" made by me, which is similar to King Zhou's pot.

It’s just that if people throw it in, they won’t be bitten to death by insects. My healing energy will protect him, but it can’t stop the insects from biting him, crawling on him, trying to get into his nose, mouth and ears.

The people who were caught were in a trance for several days, and would wake up from nightmares at night.

Since then, no one has dared to force their own work for others to do.

The method they use is nothing more than coercion, but I have established a rule that private fighting is prohibited on the island, and fighting is not allowed, let alone unilateral beating.

The methods used by the prisoners were different. They gambled and gambled secretly, and those who lost a lot of money had to work for the winners.

I don't punish those who lose the bet. If they are willing to do double, triple or even quadruple the work, let them do it.

The winner is thrown into the beetle basin. The island is rich in bug resources, and there are as many bugs as you want, and you can dig a big nest.

No matter what kind, as long as it looks disgusting, I will dig it all up.

There is a completely different feeling between crawling with a bug and being submerged in a sea of ​​bugs.

I called other prisoners to watch and watch my execution with their own eyes.

They were told to go back to work after the work was over, but the screams of the tortured were accompanied by them until the evening when work was over.

The tortured people were bitten by insects and turned into rotten skin and corpses. They were covered in blood, and there was not a single inch of good flesh on their bodies.

But it just looks scary, and there is nothing inside.

But it's enough to look scary from the outside.

How dare the other prisoners gamble again, they think I am more terrifying than the prison boss of the black prison.

"As I said, I know what you do. Since you like to pursue excitement, you can just say it straight, and you don't have to use this method to lead me to punish you." The guard Xin helped me with a lot of chores, and I finally had time to come out and play ' up.

In the road construction area, I watched the prisoners work for a day.

Today was a special day, the first time the prisoners felt what it was like to have an overseer.

I also rarely sneak a day, just wandering around where they work, looking at this and that.

I don't talk about who is slow or who is wrong. I don't look like a supervisor, but I seem to be studying and observing them.

Obviously, this hurts them more than beating them or scolding them.

I think the punishment is fine, and there is no need to emphasize the issue of work attitude.

We are adults, and we know what to do.

As a result, I became the sword of Damocles on their heads, and everyone's nerves were tense.

If I get close to someone and stare at them, the clothes on the back of that person will be drenched with sweat in a short while.

"The head teacher's sense of death stare" can be understood by me.

Before finishing work, I specially called them to one place.

I stood on a big rock, holding a simple trumpet and asked:

"I am a person who likes to listen to the opinions of employees. Since you think of me so much, you want me to personally supervise your work. Then I will come here every day. What do you think? Raise your hands to vote, the minority obeys the majority, everyone can rest assured, I respect you wishes."

"Agree that I come every day, raise your hand."

There was no sound below, the prisoners looked left and right, or looked down at their feet, but no one raised their hands.

"It's weird, you've been doing things all day long and expecting me to come, why is no one raising their hands now?" I pretended to be confused, and the prisoners still pretended to be dead and refused to respond.

"Island owner, don't worry, we know that we made a mistake, and we must work hard in the future, and we will not dare to be lazy and play tricks and violate the island rules." A young man suddenly said.

I searched for the reputation, saw the familiar look, and thought about it, it turned out that it was the boy who rescued the fugitive with Ah Jing that day.

"You, come out." I waved at him.

The young man froze for a moment, and the prisoner next to him glared at him, blaming him in a low voice for his talkativeness and provocation.

The young man stepped forward bravely and stood at the front of the line.

"what's your name?"

"Lu Xiaoxia." The boy replied nervously.

"You are a sensible boy. I need a servant to run errands. Would you like to change my job?"

The boy was stunned again, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he heard.

"It's his blessing to be able to work for the island owner. He is willing, silly boy, are you silly? Nod your head." It was the old man who blamed him for his talkativeness.

The old man had no malice towards him, and all the blame was out of concern.

"Xiao Xia is willing to stand up for the island owner!" Lu Xiaoxia said without knowing where he heard the words.

As he said he wanted to kneel, I hurriedly stopped him. I have seen too many scenes of the dark guards and dead men kowtowing and kneeling when they saw their master.

What's more, I am a modern person inside, even if they are low-status prisoners, I can't get used to accepting such a big gift.

Lu Xiaoxia was taken away by me, and the old man who accepted the job invitation on his behalf felt relieved.

Lu Xiaoxia was not as bored as Ah Jing. He followed me all the way back to the office area, and on the way he gave a clear account of the eighteenth generation of his ancestors.

He was just fifteen years old this year, and he was sentenced to life without term. It was not because of his own crimes, but because of his family members' crimes.

He was originally the young master of an official family, but because his mother was a concubine and his wife was powerful, he was sent to be raised in Zhuangzi since he was a child, and was not allowed to receive formal education.

He learned to read and read with the old steward of the village, and lived a relatively happy life.

How could he imagine that his direct brother had offended Longyan in the court less than a year after he had been an official, and lost his head directly.

Homes were ransacked, female relatives were sold, and males were allotted and sent to jail.

Originally the old steward could leave, he was a hired worker, not a domestic slave, but he was worried about the young master who had grown up with him since he was a child, and he was an old man with nothing to worry about, so he went to jail with the young master.

He was worried that the young master would be bullied if he was thrown into the pile of prisoners.

"Island owner, can I... can I take Lao Xu with me? He is a good man and has never done anything bad!" Lu Xiaoxia plucked up his courage and made a request.

"I can have no wages and eat less." He increased the price in time, hoping that the conditions he offered would impress me.

There is no dedicated cleaning person in the office area, whoever is free will do the cleaning twice. It is not impossible to arrange a full-time cleaner.

"Eat less, how can you have the strength to work? I still need your salary? Tomorrow I will send someone to take him out, so let's go to the public area to do cleaning work."

"That's great! The island owner is such a kind person!" The boy's eyes lit up instantly. Although he was as thin as a stick, there was energy in his eyes.

It can be seen that he was a fair and innocent young man, but he must have suffered a lot in prison in the later days.

The skin foundation is good, and some scars are new injuries that have not been more than one or two years old, which is still different from people who have been exposed to the wind and sun since childhood, and have endured hardships.

"Don't set up a good person for me, don't forget the wormhole." I frightened him with a bluff.

"Then you are...a ruthless and kind person!"

"What describes this?"

"Hey hey~" Lu Xiaoxia scratched his head. He originally walked two meters away from me, but now he shortened it to one meter.

"Where's Brother Big Yu?" Lu Xiaoxia finished his joy, and asked as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Who? Ah Jing?"

"Yes, his name is too difficult to write, but Big Fish is easier to write and remember. I always call him Big Fish."

"He is making doors and windows, and everyone praises his craftsmanship."

"That's right, Brother Big Yu will practice for a few more years, even the emperor's palace, he can do it!"

"That's why I admire those who are capable and capable. As long as they have real skills and don't have bad intentions, I will promote them. What skills do you have?"

"Me? I know martial arts." Lu Xiaoxia said confidently.

"Oh?" If my face could smile, it would have cracked by now.

I didn't feel any internal force in him.

He is so thin, he doesn't look like a foreigner's kung fu.

"Look, I'll show you a few tricks." Lu Xiaoxia is the only one who can let go, regardless of whether he can do it or not, he really dares to make gestures.

The lower body is loose, the waist is weak, the arms are waving wildly, and the neck can be flashed by turning the head...

"Okay, okay, save your life and work, don't show off your talents."

"Island Master, you believe me. I only practice for a short time. The most important thing in martial arts is to accumulate and practice hard. I believe that one day, I, Lu Xiaoxia, will have the opportunity to be promoted from an errand servant to your bodyguard."

"Son, in this world, it's not just about practicing martial arts and becoming famous all the way. Why don't you try writing." Regarding martial arts, who has talent and who doesn't, I can tell at a glance. , has been filled to the end.

Even if I help him open up the meridians, plus his own hard work, after more than ten or twenty years, he will still be just a low-level martial artist.

"I... I haven't been to school." Lu Xiaoxia whispered with a slightly red face.

"Why is it difficult to go to school? The owner of this island has a lot of money, and loves to invest in the education industry. It's just building a few more rooms and hiring a few teachers."

"Really?" Lu Xiaoxia blushed at this moment, no longer out of inferiority complex, but joy and excitement.

"One word from the owner of this island, four horses are hard to follow."

"Then, can I go to school?"

"Unless you hate studying and just love working."

"I like reading!"

"Then read."

Lu Xiaoxia danced happily, it seemed that if he didn't know me well, he would still want to come up and give me a hug.

Like Ah Jing, this boy is full of positive energy.

He also said just now that his mother was a concubine, and within two years after he was sent to the manor to be raised, his mother became depressed and fell ill in the inner courtyard of the deep house, and passed away after another two years.

His father doesn't hurt, his mother is gone, and his wife hates him and sees him as a thorn in her side.

The family is obviously rich, but he is not allowed to go to school.

The wife of the main room was very happy that he turned into a wild child, and had no chance to compare with the legitimate son.

His brother, who had no affection for him, implicated him in jail. He didn't resent anyone, he only felt sorry for his mother who was suffering.

His grandfather was seriously ill, and spent all the money in the family on medical treatment.

His mother voluntarily entered the Lu Mansion as a concubine, just for the dowry of the two gold bars.

Mother's sacrifice only bought my grandfather's two years of life.

Her sad fate made Lu Xiaoxia burst into tears when she mentioned it.

It is really rare for this child to grow up in such a rough environment without growing crooked.

I reckon it has a lot to do with Lao Xu's teaching.

Such a person is not a white-eyed wolf, and I can rest assured that I will use it.

Since then, Lu Xiaoxia has become my mouthpiece. When I have new instructions, I write them down and give them to him, and send them to the construction sites.

And Lao Xu was picked up by me and arranged to be a cleaning uncle in the office area.

Then I found out that this is a gift.
