The ships on the dock were still waiting to unload the goods, but there were still other teams of workers queuing up and off the large ships in line according to the rules and carrying the goods on the ship.

Then clean the ship warehouse and start loading iron ore.

Several boatmen were biting cigars and leaning against the ship's side with wine bottles. The uniforms on them represented their identity as the Ming crew and their unique nobility.

"Although it's a carrot, it's always bad if you break the rules." A boatman said with emotion.

"Don't talk about these things. There are naturally rules for docks on the docks, so there are naturally some people who will take care of them. Our job is to manage our own ships well, and the quantity of five ships of ore per month. One ship will be rewarded, and then it is also to make a living!" An elderly man was teaching a lesson to several young people.

The young man in charge raised his hands high: "Let's go to work, and the hole in the sail will be repaired today!"

"Okay!" the remaining young men responded loudly.

It was just a radish! The older boatman shook his head slightly, thinking that when he was young, someone was hung up and beaten for a handful of rice, all because he was too poor.

Finally, a real person in charge came to the dock.

The Li family of Korea wearing a clean linen cotton coat and a sheepskin jacket. The one wearing a standard uniform, short clothes and trousers, scarfs, woolen coats, and copper badges on their chests were the managers of the Ming Dynasty, and they were at the level of officials.

In the Ming Dynasty, such a level was not even considered an official, but was just a clerk in the yamen.

But here, his level is equivalent to the salary and treatment of a sixth-rank official in the Ming Dynasty. He also has four Ming officials, dozens of Goryeo officials, and thousands of dock workers on the dock.

"Oh..." He sighed softly. The manager said, "Rules are rules, he has been punished. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. This time, I have been very kind enough to keep him working here. There are some things that the official has received, which is announced only on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, and now it is a matter of being announced."

Since Goryeo's guards have become evil people, they naturally come out to be good people.

"You have done a good job, and the rules are rules. You will remember the merits." First, he praised the guards. Then the manager stood on a wooden box: "I received the document and the New Year is about to be celebrated. There are more than 100,000 people working hard for a year in Maoshan, so the superiors are preparing to send New Year's rewards. Originally, this was announced by the General General of Maoshan himself, but the dock is still a little far from Maoshan, so I will announce it in advance!"

At this moment, labor teams on the dock are being summoned.

"You have also seen that today there are a lot of food, meat and fresh vegetables shipped. This has to be transported, and it will be transported every day. How many of these things are there? You can see it in your eyes. If you let me eat it, I guess my grandson will not be able to finish it until old age, so this is the New Year reward, and the New Year reward for you."

The dock became quiet in an instant.

I have never heard of such things as giving out New Year’s rewards.

In Li's Goryeo, the workshops are basically owned by the government, and a few private workshops are also run by powerful people. It would be nice to be able to work in. Overtime and labor protection did not exist in Li's Goryeo. No one has ever heard of the word "Year-One" in Li's Goryeo.

"I have already written to the General Secretary and requested that the annual reward be paid in advance. I guess there will be a reply tomorrow. So I will do my best today. After the teams are making arrangements for work tomorrow morning, we will gather here. Let's break up now!"

What is the New Year’s Reward? It’s not clear at all. Does it mean these fresh vegetables, meat, or other things?

After the commander gave the order, he turned around and walked back, and said to the Goryeo managers beside him: "You have to work harder and check the work records of each team over the past year. There will naturally be a difference between those who do well and those who do poorly. Fortunately, there must be a statement there, and the person who is today is exempted from favor."

Forgiveness, it means not to remember the demerits and not to be included in the work points of each team.

Several Goryeo managers responded quickly and said that they had written it down and would definitely do it before tomorrow morning.

The manager took out an envelope from his sleeve: "This is a reward for you. Let's tell those team members that they will also have a single annual reward. Go and do it!"

"Thank you!" The Goryeo took the envelope and saluted and greeted each other.

Back at his office, a casual man sitting in the first seat nodded with satisfaction after listening to his report: "I did a good job, and the annual reward should have started from the dock. You have one of your rewards here and one of your family. Haisi will not be stingy with anyone who does things with sincerity."

"Thank you, sir!" The five officials in charge of the dock in the Ming Dynasty thanked each other.

"There is another thing. I heard that you have raised a Korean woman here to work as an outdoor room?"

"Please punish the elders, and the younger ones will solve this matter immediately!" The manager was a little nervous. After all, he needed someone to take care of himself for many years.

The person sitting in the head was Maoshan General. He was originally a retired commander in the Nanjing Metropolitan Division and a third-rank military officer. He retired because of his leg injury. He had no way to go to the battlefield again and could not go to sea. So he was sent here to be the chief of Maoshan Iron Mine. He was responsible for managing all the affairs of all sizes and big things here, which was equivalent to a governor's official.

"Obviously, you don't know where you were wrong?"

"Please give me advice, the smaller ones will definitely correct it!" As an official, he is not qualified to call himself a subordinate. This is the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, he can only call himself a young man with a third-rank military officer.

"You are from Maoshan Mine, from the Ming Dynasty, and from Haisi. The outer room you raise is wearing a coarse Korean cloth, and his family only got a few stones of rice this year. In my eyes, your behavior will make the Korean people think that you are just a poor minor official who was sent here. In my eyes, you have lost my face, also lost Lord Bai, and even more lost the face of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, that is also your woman, you have lost the face of a man."

What kind of theory is this? This little official never thought that he was wrong here.

A thick stack of silver notes was slapped on the table, all of which were 100 pieces, and one hundred pieces in bundles.

"You five, you know what to do. Remember, there must be maids in the outdoor room, and you kid remember to make up a good reason, how have you made that woman poor in the past six months?"

"I would say this. I am an official from the Ming Dynasty. I have to report the concubines when I am taking them. Because I have not reported them, I dare not make a big move. I have already given instructions so I naturally want to make her live a better life."

"Very good!" The general nodded with satisfaction, and then stood up: "From the head of the chief in the future, you remember that our faces in the Ming Dynasty are the faces of the Ming Dynasty, and losing them is also the faces of the Ming Dynasty. If there are such stupid things, you can come and go there!" After saying that, the general in Maoshan swayed his sleeves and left with great strides.

When I went out, naturally a guard brought the horse and went to the mining area.

The five young officials all breathed a sigh of relief. The officials here were more glorious than those in many places in the Ming Dynasty, and they earned more. The ore production in Maoshan was the top priority, but they worked hard, but they thought that the various educations they had dared not be proud of.

The silver bill was divided, and each person had two hundred taels.

Although the level is different, the five of them are all the same, and as the manager here, there is no courage to get one more.

In the afternoon of that day, in a village south of the pier, several Goryeo porters carried several big baskets and followed the dock manager into a family. This was the Goryeo woman's mother's home. Because the Chinese New Year was coming soon, there were too many things on the dock, and the dock manager lived in the workplace every day, so the woman asked the woman to go home and stay for a few days first.

Although it did not give much benefit to the family, his daughter served the nobles from the Ming Dynasty, and the family was naturally extremely high in the village.

After entering the house, the dock manager sat at the top.

Even if he has a reputation, he is still a concubine. So he can't call him father-in-law or something else, at least in the Ming Dynasty, it is this ceremony. Of course, in the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for anyone to marry his daughter to a concubine who is lower than his status.

Several porters put down the things and each gave a small silver coin.

There are three types of silver coins in the Ming Dynasty, one is a standard silver coins of one or two, one is a half tael, and the other is a one-coin.

This small silver coin is equivalent to one hundred cents, which is his reward to these porters.

After thanking each other for a lot of thanks, several porters retreated and left the door.

"The Ming Dynasty always tells rules in everything, and it is very troublesome to do things that are not in line with the rules. Since I follow me, I always have a name. If I don't have a name, I will be punished if I don't have a name. Now I have a name. I always need some New Year's goods for the New Year at home. This is some of my wishes."

The woman was not old and looked pretty.

For the largest official on the dock, she felt a great sense of awe in her heart, and she fell back aside after pouring the water.

The dock manager opened the baskets: "Save these things at home, and you will have another preparation. This is a thermos. Put it in hot water to keep it cool all day long. Be careful not to fall. This is at least thirty-five taels of silver in Hanyang City."

Who has heard of this thing in the north?

But it was said that it was worth thirty-five taels of silver in the capital of Goryeo, and the young girl was so scared that she didn't dare to take it.

"There is only one piece of silk, and I originally wanted to get two pieces. But I had to give New Year's rewards before the New Year, so I always had to give some rewards to those teams. This time, the four white linens also made some new clothes at home..."

There are many gifts, and fresh cabbage is definitely not something that Koreans can imagine in winter.

Korean kimchi originated from the Three Kingdoms era in China and later changed several times. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that there were peppers and evolved into the current kimchi.
