Outside the city, in Xinglonggang, there are several tables and large pots, and the tempting fragrance is floating in the air.
Yang Fan sat upright on the Taishi chair.
Below, there was a dense mass of 50,000 to 60,000 refugees. They were all dressed in ragged clothes and had dark skin, and they came with their young and old in tow.
Xinghe Iron Works just released the news of recruiting people, and the refugees within a dozen miles nearby rushed to tell each other and came quickly.
Looking at these hungry people, Yang Fan felt very unbearable, but he knew that although he still had less than 200 million in the bank, he could not help so many people.
Without meat, fat, or non-staple food, a person would have to eat at least one kilogram of grain a day. There are currently nearly 100,000 refugees living near Zunhua. Fifty tons of grain are eaten in a day.
Indian rice is the cheapest, costing 5,000 yuan per ton. 250,000 will be eaten in one day. 25 million will be gone in one hundred days. It really can't last long, and there must be a low-cost way to solve the problem of feeding these people.
So Yang Fan came up with the idea of collecting kitchen waste. The imperial capital is a metropolis with a population of more than 30 million. The food waste generated in a day is enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people.
Not only is there no cost, but the hotel also has to pay Yang Fan for shipping and garbage disposal fees. The government also provides per-ton subsidies. And Yang Fan brought the garbage here without any cost to dispose of it. This money is all net profit. This is the path to sustainable development.
And these kitchen wastes contain a lot of meat and fat, which are most lacking in this era. Yang Fan already has further plans to separate the grease in garbage treatment plants and then use the grease to make soap.
Another no-cost purchase. The large sales volume and huge profits of a daily necessity such as soap can definitely create a chemical giant.
Yang Fan plans to let Monkey continue to expand its market share. After all, other companies cannot compete with Yang Fan.
Zhao Fu used a rolled-up loudspeaker to shout: "For the first batch, recruit three thousand regiments to train soldiers. Food and accommodation are included. The monthly salary is one hundred pure copper coins. You can spend it as two hundred coins."
boom! The crowd went wild. This is a salary of two denarii a month. Those who work in the city are just like this.
But being a soldier requires hard work. People here don't know how to survive this winter.
I still don’t know if I can survive until spring next year, so I might as well give it a try and see. If you can't find a job, you will definitely starve to death, and your whole family will starve to death. You won't necessarily die if you fight.
I originally wanted to come to Zunhua to find some work. But looking at it now, the city gate can't be entered, and the hope is very slim. Now that there is such a good job, who wouldn’t want to go?
"You must have a family, and those who don't have any are not allowed. Xinghe Tuanlian provides accommodation, and you can bring your family to live with you." Zhao Fu shouted.
This is what Zhao Fu and Yang Fan proposed. The army must be loyal, and loyalty does not come from the sky. In the early stage, family members must be used as hostages.
The whole day was spent interviewing the training soldiers. The selection of soldiers mainly depends on age, and those over thirty are not accepted. Secondly, look at the body. You should be tall and strong. Those who cannot have diseases, poor eyesight, or those who cannot see clearly at night will also be eliminated later. Finally, look at the personality. Look for someone who is honest and has a fear of the government. We don’t want any slick people, market people, or rogues.
The selection is still very strict. This is only the first round of preliminary selection. It is planned to audition 10,000 people. Those who are not selected after that can be selected as miners instead. Those who fail to be selected as miners can go to the 100-household site on the rocky beach to pick up stones and dig fortifications. No wages but taking care of food.
The severe drought continued this year, and all the seedlings were withered. Zhao Shuigan's family could not afford to pay taxes and miscellaneous donations, so they were imprisoned. The family had to sell their land to get him out.
Without the land, the family had to flee. Try your luck in Zunhua. But there are too many refugees here, the city gate does not allow entry, and the iron factory outside has stopped recruiting people for a long time. If he couldn't find a job, he would have no choice but to work as a tracker.
Everyone knows that no one can survive five years as a tracker. Without enough food, cold river water, and naked body stretching, it is only a matter of time before the body collapses.
The father and mother were starving to death, and the children were also starving, their eyes dull, and they were dying. His wife was also so hungry that she could hardly walk. The only piece of bran cake she had was forced into his arms, and the family still expected him to find a job.
Today he heard that a group training was being recruited here. He didn't care whether he would go to war or not, so he quickly brought his whole family to try his luck.
When he heard that there were two hundred dollars a month, he almost felt that he had heard wrong. Two pieces of silver are enough to feed a family.
"Hey, that big guy, why are you in a daze? It's your turn."
Zhao Shuigen ran over quickly: "Master, master, my name is Zhao Shuigen, I have a lot of strength."
Bang, a stone lock was thrown at his feet. Zhao Shuigan picked it up without hesitation and lifted it about ten times.
Yang Fan was delighted. If he could lift this stone lock, he could join the team training. This guy was so thin that he could lift it more than a dozen times.
"I can't tell. You're so thin, but you're quite strong. Is it because the legendary bones are all meat?"
Haha, the servants around burst into laughter.
Zhao Shuigen also smiled carefully, "Master, I haven't eaten for two days. If I'm full, I can lift hundreds of times."
"Hey, let's see what you can do. Stand here. You passed. Do you have a family?" Zhao Fu scolded with a smile.
"Yes, yes, parents, my wife and I have a son and a daughter." Zhao Shuigan replied quickly.
Take your family members there to get tableware, and then go there to get food.
Zhao Fu pointed toward the leeward side of the mountain. A row of large pots are cooking porridge, and the aroma wafts in the wind.
A wooden belt was thrown to Zhao Shuigan. It was obviously freshly made and smelled of wood shavings. It has his name written on it.
Zhao Shuigen took three steps and two steps at a time and ran back in a hurry, even falling over in excitement.
"Dad, Mom, I found something wrong, Master Yang accepted me."
The family cried with joy and hugged each other.
"Stop crying, come and have dinner with me, my boss will take care of the food."
The family supported each other and walked to the big pot in the back mountain. Immediately a servant came over to organize the queue. The whole family was given a stainless steel rice bowl.
"Son, what is this made of? Why is it so bright? You can even spot people."
"Mom, I don't know either. This owner is really a kind person for giving out such good tableware."
Finally, their family arrived in line. A pair of children stared at the big pot and ate with their fingers.
A servant picked up a spoon and filled a bowl for everyone. Although it was very hot, no one found it too hot, and they all devoured it.
"This porridge actually contains oil. It's so fragrant. I haven't had oil or water in it for several years."
"There's also salt in it."
Zhao Shuigen and his family found a place under a big tree, sat on the ground, blew the porridge with a spoon to cool it down, and fed it to my mother's mouth bit by bit. Now it was time to eat. The air that she had been holding in her mouth was gone, and she suddenly felt His eyes were dark.
I'm so hungry that I can't even see.
After they finished eating, someone came over and took them to the dock to board the boat.
These regiment members and their families will build a camp on the land in the slag mountain that Dongshan Mine sold to Yang Fan. Also responsible for guarding the mine.
