"Everyone, I have seen your hard work over the past month. This month's production efficiency is very high..."

Ji Lin paused and continued to read, from daily output to monthly output, and from time to time he also interspersed some encouragement to the fishermen and recognition of their work.

This kind of rhetoric from the present is very useful in facing these ignorant slave fishermen.

Many fishermen stared with wide eyes and became uneasy, not knowing where to put their hands and feet.

What's more, Ji Lin really recognized the effectiveness of their work with true feelings.

And transparently disclosed their production performance and completed the rewards he promised to them.

You are not a very good person. If you are good at things, you will not like to deal with the military. Even this speech was revised after Chongshan and You compared it countless times.

After the routine lecture, Ji Lin began to point out specific fishermen's groups according to the list.

It's better to let Ji Lin do this kind of thing. After all, it will be more ceremonial for the leaders to be present. Xu Shan stood aside and watched his leaders work.

In fact, not only the list, Ji Lin also asked Xu Shan to make a long wooden board in this residential area to record the monthly performance. It is obviously not realistic to record it every day for them to see, but it is more than enough to record the monthly output of eight fishermen's groups.

Such wooden boards have not yet been popularized in the agricultural areas of the leaders, because they involve quite a lot of management issues. Instead, this time they will be piloted in the fishery area first.

After all, the work in the agricultural area is not as intuitive as that in the fishery. It is not until the harvest that we know whether the work is done well or not.

Each agricultural group is responsible for cultivating different fields.

But these fishermen can't understand it. This board seems to be playing the lute to a cow.

But Ji Lin did it, and he felt at ease.

Being honest with each other can always solve most problems.

Moreover, education is always a popular thing.

The selected fishermen with outstanding work ability walked one by one to the temporary wooden platform. They were more cramped than the fishermen who were praised in the audience, like embarrassed children holding candies, with nowhere to put their hands and feet, not knowing whether this was what they deserved.

Although the fishermen in the audience showed some envy, the efforts of these working groups were also seen by them, and any one of them could go to the clerk to see the results of their work this month.

Ji Lin suddenly felt a little relieved when he saw their appearance, because other people would also show such a flustered expression when they were praised.

Honest and simple.

This is also good.

"What's your name?"

Ji Lin walked up to the first young man, holding two slave contracts in his hand. These slave contracts had names, but no photos of them.

Although the slave contract would make you feel severe pain to make you sure that this person is a slave.

There is no need to do this in this situation.

Seeing the supreme ruler of the territory up close, the young fisherman immediately tensed up his body, jumped very fast, and blurted out his name quickly, as if it would burn his mouth if he didn't say it.

"Eric! Lord, my name is Eric!"

The leader smiled and signaled that you don't need to be so nervous, you are not a devil who eats meat. Then he examined the pile of slave contracts in front of him, and found the slave contract and handed it to you.

"Big..."

The young fisherman seemed a little bit unbelievable. He got the slave document like this. An indescribable sense of joy emerged from his heart and rushed straight to his brain.

The young fisherman confirmed several times that the name written on the document was his own.

He wanted to shout out in ecstasy, wanting to show everyone that he had gotten rid of his slave status. Relying on his hard work, he followed the old fisherman to observe the sea day and night for a month to see which sea area would have more abundant fish.

He studied countless times how to cast the net and pull the net to get more fish, striving to get fish every time he cast the net.

Seeing that Eric had torn the paper in his hand, he completely changed from a slave to a free man. After the excitement, he was at a loss. What did he want to do...?

Ji Lin smiled and replied to him:

"Congratulations, you are now officially a member of Linyang City, you are free."

You can move freely outside of working hours, but you still have to work!

So, he returned the slave identity documents to the fishermen one by one, watching some of them tear them into pieces in their hands, and some tore them and threw them into the brazier provided for them to destroy the documents.

In any case, they have become free men from slaves who have no choice.

They can leave this fishing area freely and go to other places in the area.

"After you become a formal resident of the territory through hard work, you will have the opportunity to learn, and we will arrange for you to move to new and better houses. Of course, sometimes you may need to share your experience with others, or guide some novice fishermen to start work."

Ji Lin looked at the fishermen and explained to them all the benefits of becoming a resident of the territory again. They were given housing and had their own private space, instead of being squeezed into a large bunk bed. They had the opportunity to receive education, and those who performed well could choose to study in higher education, or they could freely choose to try slightly technical jobs such as blacksmiths and tailors.

Unlike the previous passing by, everyone was listening attentively at this time.

"But because of the current needs of the territory, you still need to continue fishing."

The fishermen who had become free people did not hate their jobs.

"Okay, there is no work today. This is an extra reward for your hard work this month."

A large bucket of cold sugarcane juice, which was slightly diluted with water. The fishermen had never seen this special drink, but after taking a sip, they immediately liked this high-sugar drink with the fragrance of herbs.

No one would hate sugar!

Although the territory's current 100% tax rate planned economic model has greatly improved the utilization rate of resources and manpower, allowing the territory's resources to be fully invested in production, it is still a little lacking in rewards, so I can only deal with it first.

————

Ji Lin considered quite a few plans to make people feel more at home in the territory.

This is one of them.

The termination of the slave contract is the simplest step in this plan.

And how to give people the identity of territory residents is the most important thing.

The original territory residents have a minimum guarantee of loyalty because of the system guarantee. Unless you do too much, they will not rise up and want to overthrow you. Although there was really a leader in the previous life who did not take the territory's mouth seriously, and then suffered the same treatment as Louis.

In order to prevent these fishing village residents from forming groups and strengthen their sense of belonging to the territory, Ji Lin planned to force them to become residents and live together with the original residents of the territory. Ji Lin always maintained a cautious attitude towards the safety of these outsiders, and the habit from the officers made Ji Lin pay more attention to the issue of stability.

Slowly assimilate this group of people, so each time Ji Lin planned to extract a few from these slave fishermen to become free people, and then live together with the free people of the territory.

Four people, three people, one person, and two people were extracted.

Four fishermen formed a group.

These two people will be diverted to a house and live with eight of the same residents.

Assimilate a batch a month, a batch of people, until these four people are slowly assimilated into the territory in terms of culture... This is a big project that will take four months, three years and four months.

But fortunately, this subtle assimilation can not only stimulate the enthusiasm of these fishermen, but also provide a stable population for the territory.

There is plenty of time.
