To say it is simple is to say simple, but the scale of this concubine is really unreasonable." He walked to Liaoyuan Hao Factory, which was full of people. The flames were soaring into the sky, and both copper and iron castings were very busy. The scale of the casting was already quite impressive, just There are dozens of copper and iron cannons in the open space of a factory, large and small, long and short, which dazzles Huang Tianyu.

The artillery casting in the foundry is basically still the traditional clay mold casting method, but the casting level is quite sophisticated. However, according to Huang Yayu's opinion, these cannons are still old-style artillery. They are either tiger crouching cannons or Franco machine cannons. The largest ones are just general cannons, and there is no legendary Western red barbarian cannon.

"There are a lot of foundry workers here, and the pay is surprisingly low." Huang Tianyu said loudly in the room, "I asked. As long as the master who leads the work can get one, two, two, a month, the average worker If you don't work for a day and you don't have food for a day, it's so depriving you that you can't even afford a wife. Life is very hard. It's not difficult to recruit workers with the treatment we give."

“What about the potters you’re recruiting?”

Liu San is not a member of the Work Energy Committee, but he is the person in charge of this business trip, so as usual, all matters must be discussed with him before they can be handled.

"It's even worse." Huang Tianyu's face was heavy. "To tell you the truth, it was the first time today that I really saw a mass grave. Not far from a big kiln, there were piles of corpses and bones at the bottom of the pit. If there is no one to punish the workers, they will be thrown directly into the pit. In the half hour I was there, several corpses were thrown in. The appearance of the living people is not very good, each one is similar to the living imp in hell. , all covered in black. I heard that many workers are unemployed. If we want to recruit workers, it will only be easier than foundry workers."

"Just start recruiting people." Liu San said, "But we are unfamiliar with the place and have no name here, so it is not easy to do it. If the government is provoked and asked why we are recruiting workers, what should we say? "

"It's probably not possible to put up a recruitment sign, but you can contact them privately." Huang Tianyu said, "Let's talk to one or two workers first. Then let them contact people who are willing to go to Lingao. The first group should not be too many, just a dozen or so. Then they left. After they get a taste of the benefits, they will be sent back to recruit workers privately."

"Okay, let's do it like this." Liu San took out a fifty-tael note from his arms, "I'll make a trip tomorrow." Yang Run opened the door. Cash in all your money so you can pay for your settlement. Each worker who is willing to go will be given two taels of silver as settling-in allowance. Don’t forget to ask them to put their fingerprints on the deed! "As he spoke, he opened a decorative box that he carried with him to hold important documents and took out a stack of printed documents.

"Qiwei has a branch of an escort agency in Foshan." Liu San said, "Once you have gathered all the people, bring them to the branch in batches to join them. Someone will naturally arrange for them to leave. This is a token." He said Huang Tianyu was given another toothpick.

The two are having a secret discussion. Just hearing a murmur of humiliation outside, Chen Tong ran in and reported: "Master Liu, there is a beggar who insists on seeing you."

"A beggar?" Liu San frowned and thought for a moment. He must be the young beggar he treated today. "Just give him a few hundred dollars and let him go."

"I gave it, but he didn't want it." Chen Tong said, "This man said that you had saved his life and wanted to see you in person and kowtow to you."

"Okay, just call him in." Liu San nodded helplessly. Sometimes doing good can easily lead to trouble.

After a while, a young strong man strode in. Sure enough, the person he had treated in the afternoon had only been missing for a few hours. The person had returned to normal and was walking with a powerful look, quite like a warrior.

When he saw Liu San, he bowed his head and said, "Huang Ande, thank you Doctor Liu for saving your life!"

"No need to be polite, no need to be polite. Please get up." Liu San had no choice but to hold hands, thinking that he had to take a bath before going to sleep tonight. This man gave off an unknown smell of mixed gas.

Huang Ande stood up. He has a pair of Mongolian eyes, high cheekbones, and a straight nose. They look very different from the locals.

His eyes are not big but they look bright and lively. Judging from his demeanor, he does not look like a professional beggar who is used to flattering and begging on the street, nor does he look timid like ordinary country people. I couldn't help but feel a little good about him, so I immediately asked Chen Tong to take care of him, take 500 yuan and give him a bottle of "Avoiding Plague Powder"

Er, no, I can't. "Huang Ande shook his head repeatedly. The young man came here specifically to kowtow to his benefactor and express his gratitude. The guy at the drug store said that if the benefactor hadn't saved his life on the spot, he would have confessed."

"Saving lives and healing the wounded is the duty of doctors of my generation. There is no need to mention those who are kind or not." Liu San made a sincere look and did not mention that he saved people for advertising, "You are now I’m penniless. It’s the hot summer season again, so I’d better have a spare.”

Huang Ande didn't answer either. He bowed deeply again, turned around and walked out.

Liu San noticed that the muscles in his arms were strong and there were some scars on Nong Chuhui. He felt moved and hurriedly stopped him and asked, "May I ask this brother Huang, what do you do for a living? Why are you so depressed?"

"I used to work in the foundry here," Huang Ande said gruffly, "but I don't have any skills. I just worked hard to earn a living. The foreman thought I ate too much and had a bad temper, so he fired me a few days ago.

He is a foundry worker, so this is a ready-made one. Liu San and Huang Tianyu looked at each other, and both had similar thoughts. Let's take him in. The young man is strong and has some casting experience. If he takes him back and trains him well, he should be a good worker. It's really not possible. This body can be used as a soldier. The 7-meter soldier source is still very rare nowadays.

Huang Tianyu said: "Brother Huang, I have an estate in Qiongzhou Prefecture, and we happen to be short of manpower. Since Brother Huang has nowhere to go, why not just go to Qiongzhou with us."

"Going to Qiongzhou?" Huang Ande rolled his eyes and thought for a while, "No! I heard that this place is very itchy and tired. I probably won't survive if I go there.

The refusal was straightforward. Liu San smiled and said, "This business is jointly owned by Mr. Huang and I. What are you afraid of when I'm here? I guarantee you'll be fine."

Huang Ande hesitated and asked for a moment: "Can I eat meat?" Then he quickly added. "As long as you can eat it once in ten and a half months!" I'm not a greedy person. "

"Liu San replied simply. Nowadays, the food standard for heavy manual workers in the New Army and the Ministry of Industry is fish every day and meat every week. The quantity is not large, but the supply is absolutely guaranteed.

"Okay, I'll go with you!" Huang Ande nodded, knelt down and kowtowed. "Master!"

"Okay, there's no need to kowtow." Liu Sanjue was a rough and cute person, but unfortunately he was not a medical student. Otherwise, I would have to keep him by my side, "Just sign the paperwork."

"You want to sell yourself?" Huang Ande looked reluctant, "If you want to sell yourself, I won't go. I don't like to be a slave.

"It's not about selling yourself, it's about hiring someone with a contract. Don't you have to write a contract when you work as a long-term employee?"

"Sure!" He nodded.

At that moment, he pressed his fingerprint on the document. Liu San asked him if he had a family here to collect punishments and if he should take them with him. Or receive a settling-in allowance of two taels of silver.

"I'm just a bachelor here, so I don't have a family. I don't need any money. I can eat meat with my boss." Huang Ande grinned.

"Where are you from?

"Human shit?. Huang Ande scratched his scalp, the little one is not human shit."

"Where are you from?

"The younger one is from Shandong and has lived in Dengzhou for a long time." Huang Ande said, "I can't stay in Dengzhou anymore. I heard that a brother has been transferred to Guangdong, so I wanted to join him to make a living. Unexpectedly," at this point He suddenly shut up.

It seems that Huang Ande has something hidden. "Adjustment"? Considering his behavior and behavior, Liu San thought that he was probably a deserter from the army. Deserters are deserters, as long as they can work.

Liu San asked Chen Tong to take him to take a bath first, find a professional to trim it for him, and then help him choose two sets of clothes from the clothing store to change into. He also ordered Gao Di to take out his guest clothes and blow them in preparation for wearing them when he went to Lin Ming's family banquet tomorrow.

This day was Lin Ming's wife's twenty-eighth birthday. The whole house was in a festive mood. In particular, almost all of the local wealthy businessmen and scholars came to cheer. There was an endless stream of guests and friends who came to congratulate, making the entire Lin House lively and lively.

The Lin family was neither a businessman nor a scholar, yet everyone valued him so much. He was flattered in every possible way because he was a trial member of the local Jinyiwei Hundred Household Office. It is also equivalent to the second in command. The leader, Liu Baihu, was old and fatuous. Apart from going to the office every month to collect a small amount of money, he had not asked about the specific affairs of the Baihu Office. According to modern theory, Lin Ming was the executive leader of the Baihu Office.

After lunch, Lin Ming sent away the morning's greeting guests and ordered people to place fruits and pastries in the inner courtyard. Please invite all your friends and relatives to enjoy the play together in the courtyard.

Kunqu opera is being performed on a makeshift stage in the courtyard. The guest is Zhang Qiao, a famous Kunqu opera actor from Nanhai County, who is good at dressing up and singing. Everyone was fascinated.

Sitting on the main seat below was Mrs. Lin, the protagonist of this mutual banquet. In Foshan, Mrs. Lin's appearance has always been the subject of discussion among locals. She has a high nose and deep eyes. The head is slightly curly. The eyes are also brown. It looks very similar to the Persian Orchid. And this Mrs. Lin is a descendant of the Semu people. Her ancestors have been serving in the Jinyiwei for generations, holding middle and lower-level positions such as school captain, small flag, and general flag. He is a good match for the Lin family.

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, people with lustful eyes are not allowed to marry each other, so after three hundred years of mixed blood, they are no different from ordinary Han people. It is rare to see a woman with extremely lustful looks like Mrs. Lin. This is why Lin Baihu The most proud thing is that I got married even though I was one year older. Everyone thinks that Lin Baihu has a very unique taste. , if you want to know what happened, please log in to 61, there are more chapters, support the author, and support genuine reading! ~!
