Chapter 175 Civil Servants and Progressive White Slaves

Jilong Mountain in the north of Yizhou Island, the Jinguashi mining area, is the place where Zheng Kezang, King of Yanping in the Ming Dynasty, personally wielded a pickaxe in the newspaper.

At 5:30 in the morning, Lin Xiaocong, the administrator of Jinguashi Mining Area, got up, washed up, and started a busy day of work.

This gold mine was supposed to be discovered only in the reign of Emperor Guangxu, but Zheng Kezang, who loves spoilers, dug it out first!

Lin Xiaocong, he is a noble civil servant of the royal palace. He receives a salary of three taels of silver every month, plus a performance bonus at the end of the year, which is very comfortable.

Some people may say that this civil servant is very comfortable, and his treatment is almost the same as that of the Guardsmen who have been through life and death.

That would be a big mistake.

With Zheng Kezang's continuous victories in foreign wars, the monthly salary of ordinary soldiers in the Guards has increased to six taels of silver, and three meals a day are served with meat!

More importantly, soldiers of the Guards will be allocated fertile land in Yizhou Island and Luzon based on their merits.

The income from this field is no less than the monthly salary!

Coupled with all kinds of benefits, I can earn nearly one hundred taels a year.

Basically, as long as you directly enter the ranks of the Guards, you will never be able to escape the honors and honors of your life.

Zheng Kezang's first civil service examination took the subjects of ideological morality and law.

"Mr. Lin, it's time to have breakfast!"

But after all, my job does not require hard training every day, eating and sleeping in the open air, and there is no risk of sudden death in battle. It is very suitable for a Buddhist young man like Lin Xiaocong.

Fortunately, Leon had no record of killing Chinese people, otherwise he would have been shot long ago.

But this does not mean that Chinese is more difficult to learn, it just means that the way of learning is different.

Unexpectedly, nothing was caught, and Manila was captured by the Guards.

Although this income level is only about half of the average annual income of one hundred silver dollars for the Guards.

This person is none other than Leon, the supervisor of the white slave miners in the Jinguashi mining area.

This makes the logic of learning Chinese and learning other languages ​​different.

After being able to speak, he was not satisfied. He also studied Chinese characters in depth. Now, Leon can fluently read newspapers written in vernacular like "Dongning Daily"!

Lin Xiaocong couldn't help but shake his head while washing up. He didn't expect that when he was a child, he was so poor that he actually regarded Luying's brother-in-law as a boss.

The languages ​​that are truly difficult to learn in this world are often indigenous and retain the original language of various morphemes. They are by no means advanced languages ​​like English and Chinese with simplified morphemes.

Thanks to the war and my family being separated, I was able to come to the paradise Yizhou Island.

Lin Xiaocong is a refugee from Chaozhou Prefecture in Guangdong Province. He remembers that his brother-in-law served as a soldier in Guangdong Green Camp and had to eat food, which was said to be one tael of silver a month.

Lin Xiaocong doesn’t have much education, but he also knows whose food he eats!

As the saying goes, gold always shines.

Of course, Lin Xiaocong had no pursuits. He was originally just a worker in a textile factory. He only had this opportunity thanks to his active participation in literacy classes and his ability to recognize a lot of words.

Many people have a misunderstanding that Chinese is the most difficult language in the world for foreigners.

Upon closer inspection, he turned out to be a Spaniard speaking fluent Chinese.

But in fact, from time to time, I have to pay filial piety to my superiors, and there are various deductions. If I can really get it, I'm afraid it will be good to have ten taels in a year.

When King Yanping regains Guangdong, he must apply to be a civil servant in Guangdong and return home in glory!

I will make my own insignificant contribution to the cause of King Yanping's revival of the Ming Dynasty, and pray that such a good king as Zheng Kezang will live a long life!

Leon, a Spaniard, also has a good talent for languages. It only took him half a year to speak Chinese, which is Fujian dialect with a good accent.

Come as you say!

At this time, a man wearing a black sweatshirt and red hair ran over panting.

He felt that his parents and sister would definitely be able to see each other again, but that was not necessarily the case for Luying's brother-in-law.

I don’t know if I will see my family again in the future. If they know that I have a future now, they will definitely be very happy!

In addition, his position is far from home, so not many people signed up!

The law is a little more difficult, but daily newspapers are occasionally available!

Leon is the second son of a poor Spanish nobleman. He came to Manila to pursue wealth.

"It's really funny. I work as a dog for the Tatars and earn less than ten taels of silver a year. I don't know why I'm so arrogant!"

Therefore, Wang Yangcai, the Guanzhen of the Third Guards Town, is really strong and can actually be proficient in the language of the indigenous people of Yizhou Island!

The writing of most countries in the world is phonetic writing, while Chinese characters are ideographic writing.

Due to his outstanding language talent, Leon's destiny changed.

The first time he took the exam, no one understood the routine of the questions, so he was able to stand out!

Although he survived, he was directly turned into a white slave and was escorted to Yizhou Island to mine.

One issue of "Dongning Daily" specially published Leon, a civilized and progressive white slave, and greatly encouraged him, saying that if every white slave could learn from Leon, he would be able to escape from slavery sooner or later!

In order to let all the white slaves learn from him, Zheng Kezang canceled Leon's slave status with a wave of his hand and made him work as a supervisor for the white slaves in the mining area!

Sure enough, the most important thing in taking the public examination is to choose a position. You must choose a position with a talented person. No, Lin Xiaocong came to the shore.

Lin Xiaocong was the one who ate the first wave of crabs.

Since Lin Xiaocong, a civil servant, came, he had one more job, which was to deliver breakfast to Lin Xiaocong.

It’s time to find a good brother-in-law for my sister!

For the ideological and moral subject, as long as you read Dongning Daily regularly, you are guaranteed to get high scores.

Coupled with the year-end performance bonus, Lin Xiaocong predicts that his annual income this year will reach more than 40 taels of silver.

That's it. When my brother-in-law saw me, he still turned his nostrils upward. When I was a child, the biggest impression I had on him was his two big nostrils.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaocong slapped his cheek hard, cheered up, and decided to work hard and energetically today.

Don't underestimate this job. His master Lin has a small appetite and doesn't eat much. As long as Leon is diligent and eats desserts, he will often be rewarded with half a steamed bun or something.

It seems like we need to hook up with the guardsmen as soon as possible and look for them!

However, all this can only be realized if the king attacks Guangdong as soon as possible.

In fact, Chinese is not that difficult to learn, especially getting started.

Lin Xiaocong had full confidence in the Guards, and estimated that his arrogant brother-in-law would probably be dealt with by the Guards.

While eating, the two of them came to the mine.

Lin Xiaocong came over briefly to take a look at the work of the white slaves.

It was already six o'clock in the morning when they arrived, and these white slaves had already been working for an hour!

Snap!

Leon raised his whip and whipped a tall Dutchman hard, drawing a deep bloody mark.

Leon said in his smooth Chinese: "You are a cunning Lowcountry Dutchman. Even the donkeys in the production team dare not be as lazy as you!"
