On the eighteenth day of the winter lunar month, everything will go well.
I have to admire our ancestors. In those days when technology was underdeveloped and writing was not popular, they were able to write such an excellent work - the Old Emperor's Calendar. Moreover, many things were fulfilled in reality. It can be seen that geniuses are great in any era. some.
What Lao Huangli said is right. Today is indeed a good weather. The winter snow of the past few days has stopped. The warm sun is rising in the sky. The snow on the roofs and roads has already melted a lot. Also because of the winter snow, the whole The world seemed to have been washed and made brand new.
These days are a good day, and there are many people who are moving, opening businesses, and marrying their daughters. Wang Busheng and Zhang Jinghui’s snack shop also chose today to recruit workers. The news was released three days ago. The conditions are very average and do not meet the male protagonist’s advantage of being generous. The monthly salary One hundred taels, including room and board, three meals a day, seven days of paid holidays during the Chinese New Year, a contract signed, and monthly wages. Although the salary is not very high, there are no weekends, and there are no benefits such as five insurances and one fund, but before dawn, the door of the snack workshop is crowded with people, all of whom have come to apply for jobs, some of whom are under age. Children, there are also gray-haired old people. The difficulty of life always makes people unable to control themselves. How many people live in a way that they hate, and how many people do jobs they don’t like, just for survival.
Although the monthly salary of one hundred taels is not very high, the wage level in Songjiang Prefecture is considered reasonable. The snack factory recruits long-term workers, unlike other workshops, most of them are short-term workers, three to five days, ten days and eight days, and many Wages will not be paid immediately, and some may even be delayed for three to five years or even not paid at all.
The large number of people who came to apply was not only because of the contract and guaranteed safety, but also because of the current business situation of the Ming Empire.
Attack the local tyrants and divide the land. This is a slogan that every rebel will put forward in order to win over the people. Although Zhu Xiluo has no culture in chanting scriptures in the temple every day, he still knows such slogans. Zhu Xiluo is still a trustworthy person. The Ming Empire To establish the establishment, Zhu Xiluo really attacked some local tycoons and allocated some land. However, you must know that most of the land is in the hands of those powerful and powerful families. They not only have land in their hands, but also people. Strength, and Zhu Xiluo still depends on these people to govern the world, and he will conquer the world immediately, but he cannot rule the world immediately. If Zhu Xiluo wants to sit firmly on the throne of the emperor, he will naturally have to rely on these people, and because he was beaten There are only a few local tyrants. There are more wolves than meat. There are too many people without land, so naturally there will be less land in the hands of the people.
When the Ming Empire was first established, there was no stability without farmers, no business, and no wealth. Business had not been favored by the rulers since ancient times. In addition, disasters had occurred frequently in recent years. The people who dug in the fields every day could not rely on the only land they had. In order to make a living, many people were forced to sell their land. In order to have a meal for their family, they sold themselves to the landlords and became their tenants. As time went by, the land returned to the hands of the landlords. It was nothing more than from the hands of the Wang gentry. In the hands of a wealthy gentleman named Li.
This is winter, and animals hibernate in winter. This is especially true for businesses in Songjiang Prefecture. It is also the hibernation period. Many shops are closed and workshops have stopped production. This is another reason why there are so many people here today.
Of course, Wang Busui didn't need to do anything about recruiting workers, but it was necessary to be present. After all, the workshop also had its own part. Wang Bushit, who was suffering from constipation, had dark circles under his eyes. Those who didn't know thought that Wang Bushit had done something shameful all night and his face was sluggish and listless. He got up early and ate some breakfast, got on the carriage sent by Zhang Jinghui, and headed towards the snack workshop. Drive away.
There were no sanitation workers in the Ming Empire. After all, there was no free lunch or workers who were not paid.
It is better to save a little. Diligence and frugality are the fine traditions of our Chinese nation. Moreover, our people are a hard-working nation and a nation full of hope for the future. Many shop fronts have been cleaned long ago, and the snow has been swept away. Pile, some store owners probably have a childlike innocence and pile the snow into a snowman, but it looks like this, okay, it’s best not to pass by here at night, it can scare you to death.
The carriage swayed along the way, and Wang Busheng, who was already suffering from constipation, was even more upset and agitated, missing the feeling of being in a state of constant decline in his previous life.
The driver of the old Zhang family was also an experienced driver. He drove the car very steadily and did not brake suddenly or speed up suddenly. Therefore, Wang Bushi did not suffer from the embarrassing situation of vomiting and diarrhea.
About an hour later, the carriage slowly stopped, and someone outside called out, "The prince has arrived."
He touched his stiff waist. Riding in a car was not an easy task. Wang Busui slowly got out of the car. Zhang Jinghui was already waiting. When he saw Zhang Jinghui, Wang Bushu hurriedly put down his hand touching his waist. He was afraid of Zhang Jinghui. Misunderstanding, usually touching the waist means pregnancy, and kidney deficiency. Although Wang Busheng is a time traveler, Wang Busheng still cannot get pregnant and have children, but kidney deficiency is very understandable.
"I thought you weren't coming." Zhang Jinghui took a few steps forward, smiling from the bottom of her heart.
Wang Bushit wanted to hold Zhang Jinghui's hand, but she cleverly avoided it. After all, there were other people present, and Zhang Jinghui didn't want others to know something. "Be honest, someone is here," Zhang Jinghui reminded in a low voice.
Wang Bushi smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself."
Then he replied, "Natural will come, this is our future."
Whether you like it or not, or are willing to admit it, the foundation of any good life cannot be separated from abundant material guarantees. Without money, beautiful love will be like a garden in the sky or a castle in a dream. Love is not everything in life. Survival is.
The corners of Zhang Jinghui's lips turned up, she gave Wang Budie a blank look, and then said, "Lian Chunqiao is still busy outside, let's go over and take a look."
The two of them walked side by side, they were a good couple, a talented man and a beautiful woman. Of course, if Wang Busheng touched his buttocks from time to time, this scene would be more beautiful.
The recruitment site was set up in front of the workshop, with three or five tables. The people who came to apply for jobs were queuing up at the back. There was no one who jumped in the queue, and there was no one who didn't queue up. It can be seen that the ancient people who didn't have much culture were better than twenty-one people. There are many educated intellectuals in the 20th century who have studied for more than ten years. Quality is something we are born with. Maybe those unruly people have not had the gene for quality for generations.
As the chief steward, Lian Chunqiao has also been busy. There are more than a dozen civil servants responsible for registering there.
"Name"
"When I return home, my name will be Liu Laoshi."
"age"
"I am thirty-eight this year"
"You are thirty-eight, tell the truth, otherwise I won't use you"
"Yes, yes, sir, I am seventeen this year, and I will be eighteen in three hundred and two days. Lord, just accept me. Look at me, I have strength," the young man named Liu Laoshi said. You have to take off your clothes to show off your figure.
The clerk decisively interrupted, "Okay, okay, don't take it off. It's such a cold day, be careful of catching a cold. I'll remember your information first. It's my lady's business whether to accept you or not."
"Thank you, thank you." Liu Laoshi left cheerfully. He accidentally stepped on the snow and fell down, then he got up and jumped up and down again.
Things change with the heart, situations are created by the heart, and troubles are all born in the heart. People with a broad heart never think about so much, just have a job.
"Old Wu, should we apply for the job? We have three meals a day and a hundred taels of silver a month." In a corner not far away, three people were squatting. From the look on their faces, it could be seen that one of them was in his forties. Years old, the other male and female are relatively young. His face was covered with dirt and his cheeks were sunken. It looked like the result of long-term malnutrition. To be more precise, he was hungry. The clothes on his body were no longer distinguishable from the previous color and were in tatters. It was probably because the clothes were too thin and filled with a lot of straw. If Wang Bushit could look at the three of them at this time, of course Wang Bushit would not be able to recognize them. After all, In just a few months, the three of them have changed so much. The weight loss effect is very gratifying. No need to show off, these three people are Wang Busheng's former leaders, Lao Wu Xiaohong and Xiao Ming.
Since they were imprisoned in Songjiang Prefecture, Wang Busheng has been abandoned by the members of the White Lotus Sect, and the situation of Lao Wu and others who were rescued by his colleagues is not much better. Because Li pretended to plead guilty, in order to rescue them, Elder Yin It can be said that he vomited blood and spent all the savings in the church. When it comes to repaying debts, even though everyone is a member of the White Lotus Sect, the debt still needs to be settled clearly. Therefore, Lao Wu and other members of the White Lotus Sect branch met with tragedy. Elder Yin sent them to a black coal kiln and dug for three months. Coal, due to some accidents, several congregants were sacrificed, and some who couldn't bear the suffering sneaked away, going back and forth. In the end, there were only three people left in the Songjiang Prefecture branch of the White Lotus Sect, and the three leaders of the White Lotus Sect were old Wu, Xiaohong and Xiaoming.
When heaven is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, he must first struggle with his will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, and eat his body on an empty stomach. Naturally, he is forced to work in the black coal mine. This is also a necessary experience. As the elders of the White Lotus Sect, they deeply understand Knowing this truth, although they are a little bit tired, a little sore, and a little hungry, they are not afraid of being shattered into pieces. They want to leave their innocence in the world. Their love for the White Lotus Sect is the most true.
After everyone's hard work day and night, the debt was finally paid off, and the three of them were free. They continued to fight for Wu Sheng Lao Mu's career and radiate their last light and heat.
It was Xiao Ming who suggested applying for a job. He was really hungry, maybe because he was young and inexperienced. Every time he asked for food, Old Wu always asked for more than him. I heard that the two of them could get more by pretending to be miserable, so they tried it. , the result is unsatisfactory, there are too many beggars using this trick, kind people have long been numb and unmoved, and Xiaohong, as a woman, will also be compassionate and generous. In short, Xiaoming has the least income, and is hungry The worst.
"No." Old Wu picked his teeth with a grass root. The steamed cake just now was a bit hard and it was filling his teeth. He just heard Old Wu continue to say, "Master Xiao Ming, there is a British man standing behind this workshop. We are members of the White Lotus Sect." , how can you work for the imperial wolf, even if you beat him to death?"
"But we are at the end of our rope," Xiaohong also helped. The life of begging was really difficult. There were several times when other beggars took advantage of her when she slept at night. If she hadn't had some skills, she would have had a gynecological diagnosis long ago. She died of illness and couldn't eat well every day, nor could she sleep well. This made Xiaohong very worried. Premature aging is something that every woman doesn't want to happen to her.
"Don't worry, the Infernal Mother will protect us. Difficulties are only temporary. We must firmly believe that a world full of love will definitely come with our persistence." As expected of a senior believer, Lao Wu is so obsessed with the White Lotus Sect. , "Read it to me, I believe in myself, I can do it, I'm not hungry."
“I believe in myself, I can do it, I’m not hungry”
"Yes, that's it, Oye."
"Why are you making such a fuss? Get out of here. It will delay my application. Be careful of your life." A strong man with scars on his face walked over. Pushing past Lao Wu and the other three, they strode past.
Seeing the scarred man walking away, Xiao Ming whispered, "Isn't this the bandit leader of Jiming Mountain, Liao Shiwen?"
"That's right, it's him. He robbed me a few years ago and took away all my eighteen taels of silver." Thinking of the past, Old Wu was miserable.
"Why did he come to apply for the job?" Xiao Hong is also very curious.
"Maybe the banditry industry in the Ming Empire is also in recession."
