"Now I need to recruit a thousand workers. A family of up to five people will be provided with food and accommodation. They can come and go freely. The monthly salary is 500 yuan. If you are interested, please sign up on the spot!"
On the other side, faced with Liang Xiao’s recruitment, the refugees on site rushed to sign up.
The empress issued an edict to arrange work-for-relief work for them, and of course they were grateful.
But Liang Xiao, a kind man who usually gives them extra meals, now offers conditions that are close to those of ordinary workers in the capital!
Beijing is the center of the country, and local wages are of course slightly higher than those in other places. However, ordinary workers can only provide food and accommodation for one person at most. The monthly salary is more than one tael, and the employer does not cover food and accommodation for the worker's family at all.
"Master Hou is indeed thoughtful!" Bai Qin, who was accompanying him, was even more impressed by Liang Xiao.
Recently, some people are inciting local workers in the capital to accuse Liang Xiao of favoring one over the other, giving former refugees good jobs and better treatment than locals, but it's just not as easy to spread as newspapers.
Others encouraged winery and sugar mill workers to leave Liang Xiao, but they were scolded by Liang Xiao's workers.
In comparison today, workers in the capital are actually treated slightly better than refugees.
Through newspaper propaganda, people also learned that the first workers sacrificed their personal freedom in exchange for better treatment than local workers.
Furthermore, his master decided to provide relief through work, but it was still a bit troublesome to arrange the work for more than 2,000 households. Liang Xiao was recruiting workers today and helped her again.
Today, Liang Xiao not only recruited workers for himself, won the favor of these new workers, but also appeased the unbalanced local workers, and also reduced the pressure on the court, killing three birds with one stone!
"It's just that you chose to do such a thing today when the exchange meeting begins... As expected of you, Lord Marquis!"
"Lao Bai, actually I specifically chose the day when today's exchange meeting will begin." Liang Xiao said meaningfully.
Bai Qin looked confused: "You actually have deeper considerations?"
Liang Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'll leave this to you, I'll go back and take a look!"
At the exchange meeting, everyone was whispering to each other and talking endlessly about Liang Xiao.
"I'm right. Without him, this meeting will inevitably be half as good. I wish I could see him at this time." Xing Feng smiled helplessly.
Li Xinwen, who was on the side, looked at Xing Feng more and more strangely, and even considered whether he should remind his best friend to pay attention after returning to China.
Her princess best friend is infatuated with Xing Feng.
Was her sworn sister still abandoned by Liang Xiaoshi?
"Could it be that people with broken sleeves are attracted to each other? Oh my god..."
Xing Hai couldn't help but ask: "Master Hou, wouldn't this exchange meeting be meaningless without him?"
"Sure enough, even his cronies began to doubt..." Li Xinwen squinted her eyes slightly and began to think in her heart.
Xing Feng sighed: "Of course not, but if some words are said by him, this exchange meeting will have real value, otherwise it will be just an impromptu friendship that anyone can do. Da Zhou and Da Chu have always been in short supply What a talented man and a beautiful woman lacks is a backbone like him that cares about the world and can plead for the people. I want all the literati in Dachu to understand this, but from my point of view, these words are just big and useless."
"That's it! The young Marquis knows that there are some things he shouldn't say, so he can only take advantage of Marquis Lanling's situation."
Li Xinwen's eyes changed.
She seemed to have really misunderstood.
But why was he so sure that Liang Xiao had the world in his heart and prayed for the people?
Just because he treats the refugees well?
When she thought that Liang Xiao and Xing Feng did not have the kind of relationship she thought, Li Xinwen felt ashamed and suddenly felt a trace of regret that her expectations had failed...
“Mr.
The girl who led the question was Ye Hongxue, the first of the four beauties of Hengjiang River in Da Chu.
More and more talented women echoed: "We all want to meet Marquis Lanling~"
The eyes of Tuoba Jun and others, who were still high-spirited at first, were almost bloodshot!
This person is not at the scene, but he is still the center of the topic? ?
Mu Qinxue saw this, feeling both happy and worried at the same time.
She still knows her one-sided fiancé relatively well.
He must be doing something right now!
It's just that he is the person Xing Feng specially invited...
Duanmu Yuncheng smiled and said: "Mr.
All eyes were focused on Xing Feng.
Xing Feng said without thinking: "This meeting has already made it clear that communication is free and as long as etiquette is followed, there is no need to be too restrained. There is no such thing as being late or absent. On the contrary, if everyone is cautious and cautious, Xing will only feel deeply guilty."
Xing Feng's decent response left Duanmu Yuncheng speechless.
Among the crowd, Jian Canglang sat alone at a table drinking, while Gongsun Yue leaned against the next table.
The brother and sister also looked puzzled.
Xing Feng already gave Liang Xiao a lot of face.
But Liang Xiao is now famous, and so many talented people and beauties come here to see him, so it is really inappropriate to be absent.
Soon, Gongsun Yue's eyes were attracted to Mu Qinxue in the corner.
If Mu Qinxue felt something, she also turned her head and looked at her.
They both noticed each other just now, but they didn't make contact.
"Is this Mu Qinxue preventing me from seducing Liang Xiao?"
"This Gongsun Yue, dares to steal my man?"
When the two strange women made eye contact, sparks of hatred burst out inexplicably.
Just a look at each other, full of hostility and a sense of crisis.
This woman is difficult to deal with...
This is how they rated each other.
Duanmu Yuncheng glanced at Xing Feng resentfully and said no more.
He could see that Xing Feng seemed to really want to protect Liang Xiao, which showed that Tuoba Jun and the others had made a good analysis, and Xing Feng and Liang Xiao might have made a secret deal.
Maybe, Xing Feng, Duan Yunyi, and Zhuge Hui have also reached some kind of consensus.
"Calm down, don't mess up your position because of Liang Xiao, the people I arranged will move immediately." Tuoba Jun said with a smile.
Duanmu Yuncheng nodded silently.
The Duanmu family has already reached an agreement with these families. They will take the lead in dealing with Liang Xiao, and the other families will give their full support. If they can eat Liang Xiao's human blood steamed buns in the future, the Duanmu family will take the lion's share.
The only people at the scene who were really worried about Liang Xiao were Zhuge Cheng, Qin Baili and others who were silently drinking tea in the corner.
The Zhuge family has a very strict family tradition, and he also knows that it is somewhat inappropriate for Liang Xiao to be absent like this. After all, he is still in charge, his official position is not low, and he can set an example.
If even Liang Xiao did not attend this meeting...
Qin Baili and others had the same worries.
At this moment, a sneer sounded from the scene.
"I just received news that the Marquis of Lanling, Liang Xiao, just went to the refugee camp to recruit refugees as workers!"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
"Liang Xiao didn't attend the exchange meeting and went to that kind of place to recruit workers?"
"Liang Xiao, how can you be so rude to me? What kind of official is Ge Shizhong in your Zhou Dynasty? If Ge Shizhong doesn't come to participate, is it necessary for others to come?"
Duanmu Yuncheng and others cast admiring glances at Tuoba Jun.
The people he arranged finally started to influence the public opinion, and people from Dachu's side also helped to point out the key points.
Just as Xing Feng was about to speak, a clear voice came from the distance, detonating the scene.
"You are all looking for me? Do you want to discuss business?"
“Talk about business??”
