Chapter 423: Excited Xue Lei (Please vote and subscribe)
Xue Lei was very excited, even a little bit wanted to cry (_)
He had joined the Han tribe for a long time. As early as the spring meeting more than a year ago, he was sold to the Han tribe by his own leader for the price of a bowl of white salt. To be honest, he did not regret it. The strength and wealth shown by the Han tribe at the spring meeting alone were enough to make many hungry people yearn for it, and he himself was no exception.
Later, after arriving at the Han tribe, facts proved that the Han tribe was indeed very rich. Although it was just a poor ghost compared to now, at least there was no shortage of food and clothing, and there were many livestock that could be used as labor and food reserves. With such conditions, he was already very satisfied.
When they first arrived at the Han tribe, the new tribesmen who were bought still lived in thatched houses. At that time, the location of Hanyang City was just a large bare flat land, and the first task accepted by this group of new people who were bought was to build houses.
When the leader personally led them to build the first brick house using various magical methods, he felt that he had found what he liked to do most, such as the horizontal and vertical laying out skills, the staggered and orderly arrangement of bricks, the number of layers of bricks to add for the ridge of the roof, how to arrange the tiles on the roof, and the most interesting and what he admired the leader the most, how to make a kang.
He learned all these techniques very seriously. Every time he finished his own work, he would rush to help others, just to master those skills more skillfully. Therefore, Xue Lei also became the leader of the first construction team led by himself.
However, after all the houses in Hanyang City were built, he couldn't get used to the days of farming every day. It happened that the new city construction was short of people, so he took the initiative to ask to be transferred to the new city to continue to lead the new team members to build.
Xue Lei seemed to like building houses very much. Whenever he saw the neat houses built by his tribesmen and the tribesmen who lived in them praised the benefits of the houses from time to time, he was always in a happy mood. He didn't know why, until a few days ago, he heard a word from the leader's mouth-a sense of accomplishment.
Hearing what the temporary city lord said about his deeds, he felt very excited. Although there were many people in the Han tribe, he felt that his contribution to the tribe was not ignored. The words of the acting city lord just now were the best proof. However, he was still surprised by the series of rewards that the acting city lord just said.
Although Xue Lei liked the sense of accomplishment brought by labor and longed for the recognition and attention of the tribe members, he always felt that he should work for the tribe and make contributions. Even if the leader would give him some rewards, he never thought that there would be so many. In other words, even if there was no reward, as long as the tribe members praised the house he built, if he could get two more words of praise from the leader, he would be very satisfied.
But now he felt that the leader valued him. His efforts were finally seen by the leader. The leader also rewarded him with so many things, which was a rare reward among all the tribe members. In the future, he must work harder for the leader and the Han tribe.
Hearing the fierce applause, the congratulations from the tribesmen around him, and the envious eyes from the tribesmen in front of him, Xue Lei took a deep breath, wiped the tears of excitement from the corners of his eyes, and strode to the high platform in the square.
"Chief, I..."
Looking at the smile of appreciation and encouragement from the leader in front of him, Xue Lei wanted to say something, but after holding it in for a long time, he couldn't say a word.
"Okay, no need to say, I know that you have done a good job. You have won the title of model worker through your own efforts. Keep working hard and your life will get better and better. Come, wear this big red flower and stand here to show it to the tribesmen. This is the honor you deserve.
Oh, by the way, is your family here? There are so many rewards that you may not be able to take them all by yourself."
Luo Chong tied the big red flower made of red cloth on Xue Lei's chest in advance, as if he was a new soldier about to board a train, and then patted his shoulder to encourage him.
"Yes, thank you, chief. I will work hard in the future and will not let these rewards from the chief go in vain." Xue Lei knelt on one knee excitedly on the stage, saluted Luo Chong respectfully, and then received his reward under the chief's encouraging eyes.
He picked up a lamb that had just been weaned not long ago, held it high up and showed it to the audience, and kept waving the cotton candy-like lamb in his hand to his family, scaring the lamb so much that it kept bleating. Baa
? ! Baa? What are you doing? ! Why are you lifting me up? ! o(≧口≦)o
Until the end, Xue Lei stood there for a long time before his family and neighbors, led by the soldiers, moved the rewards away. A long line of people, holding lambs and piglets, and some carrying looms and other large production tools, rushed to Xue Lei's house. The tribesmen looked at them with envy and gave them lemon-flavored blessings along the way. However, thinking that everyone would receive rewards in the later activities, they felt a little more balanced.
With the successful experience of the first award ceremony, the following process went much more smoothly. First, a member of the Jian clan from the Sharp Horn Tribe was named a model worker because he worked for three consecutive days and two nights to deliver antelopes during the birthing season; another member of the Chai clan was named a model worker because he worked the fastest and most efficiently in farming; there was also a member of the Hu clan from the Tiger Tribe because he was a blacksmith who made iron tools for everyone for months during the construction of the new city; there was also a kiln worker named Gu, a carpenter named Jing, and so on.
Anyway, as long as the clan clearly joined the Han tribe, basically one member would be selected, and the prizes given out would make everyone envious, but not everyone's prizes were the same. In addition to the livestock being basically the same, the remaining tools were mostly complementary.
For example, Xue Lei's family was rewarded with a loom, while Jian Ming's family was rewarded with an early generation of pedal spinning machines. The purpose of this was to allow them to complement each other. It would be unreasonable to give a full set to one family, and it would be useless to give them all the same. If we give one family the same, you can spin and I can weave, and this way they can be put to use.
These simple textile machines have been eliminated in Hanyang City. The public textile factories are all equipped with the more advanced generation of flying shuttle looms and multi-axis spinning machines. These replaced things are just for display, so it is better to give them to the clan members as rewards for private use, so that they can also play a role in production value.
After the award ceremony for the model workers was over, all the clan members began to eagerly enter the next activity time. After all, they heard that ordinary clan members like them could also get some small prizes.
