While the Phoenix Kingdom is making a new round of industrial deployment, the overseas lords are a little stuck.
Because there is a severe shortage of labor in the Phoenix Kingdom, many small business owners who do not want to pay exorbitant wages began to recruit people from abroad, and thus employment agencies were created.
It’s not that the owners of large businesses are more enlightened. It’s just that as the factory gets bigger, it will inevitably require many senior technicians and middle managers to solve various problems. When calculated, the salary expenses will be higher than the average salary.
Small businesses generally have less than 20 people and cannot produce products with particularly high technical content. Without technical content, there will be no excess profits. Of course, wages must be carefully considered.
The kingdom prohibits human trafficking, and beheading is a serious crime, but it doesn't matter. Overseas recruitment does not involve the sale of people. They only provide salary information and work location, and people will naturally flock to the kingdom.
Most civilians outside the country are not living a good life, and most civilians in nearby areas have heard rumors about work in the kingdom. However, many people find it difficult to take the first step out of fear of unknown life.
Employment agencies help them take this step.
The new employment agencies have not yet learned the trick of eating both ends, and their work is mainly based on enterprises.
Take the Kingfisher Firm in Green City as an example. Small businesses come to them to pay a handling fee. For example, if they want ten people, they pay 20 yuan first. They wait for the firm to attract people from abroad to report to the company, and then confirm that the difference is sufficient. The final payment is usually 10 yuan per person. The firm won't care if you work while studying at the Refugee Agency or whatever. You can train or designate types of talents in advance, but you'll have to pay extra.
The fee is very cheap, but it cannot support the huge demand.
The Kingfisher Office has only eight people, but there are thousands of people registered in Eucalyptus who have not yet processed the commissions.
It would certainly not attract the attention of overseas lords if the firm only attracts people to find jobs, but the gap between domestic and foreign lifestyles has widened. As long as the people come here, more than half will bring their families and settle down within a few months.
By the way, the Kingfisher Agency was built by Clotier, the first mixed-race person to escape from the main world. After the world gate in Talon Town was blocked, she washed her hands in a golden basin and stopped going to recruit big companies overseas. Opened this office.
Originally, the agency only did things like helping people keep tabs on their wives and husbands. The employment agency was started later.
After Green City was incorporated into the Kingdom, there was a labor shortage due to the population siphon effect of the Wind Valley Industrial Zone.
Green City is still in the period of being an agent of the original lord, and it is not yet able to understand the industrial form of Wind Valley. Even if it can understand it, the industrial layout cannot be completed in one or two years. According to Green City's plan, the main tasks in recent years are Dredging the channels of the Emerald River.
The water flow of the Emerald River is relatively turbulent and shallow. It needs to be transformed into a navigable river with a certain water depth and a gentler flow rate. In the early stage, various river operations have greater safety risks. In order to reduce manpower losses, all operations on the river need blessings. Protective spells, or fighting spirit, are limited by the number of mages and cannot be used by too many people.
In addition, Green City's main industry is pottery, but its scale is limited.
It is precisely because of the flaws in Green City's industry and the decline in sunshine and average temperature brought about by the big collision that the agriculture is also in recession, that people started to leave soon after the literacy education started.
As time went by, a labor gap appeared. Later, Green City planned to build an artificial lake to develop fisheries. The gap suddenly expanded to a very strange level. Many pottery workshops were closed to dig and move soil.
Of course, digging soil is a little more tiring than pottery making, and it will affect pottery making. The main reason is that the green pottery industry is not very competitive, and the quality cannot be compared to the production areas in Pangxun City, which is close to the Luna River. There are other cities in the east that also make pottery. Therefore, the profits of pottery are very low, including the pottery workshop owners, they can barely make ends meet in Hukou.
The artificial lake excavation project is officially allocated, and will be paid based on half of the first-stage minimum wage (daily wage of 0.8 yuan). With such a wage, one person can support a family. If there are two laborers in the family, it is obviously more profitable to dig the soil.
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"
Also stimulated by this, Clotier suddenly realized that it was a good business to recruit people from other places for the foremen.
After doing a little research, I found that the work demand in Green City is not small. The hardening of urban roads and inter-city highways, urban sewage treatment systems, and the construction of artificial lakes. These construction tasks may be enough for ten thousand people, and Green City can last for ten years. There will be more job opportunities once the railway opens on the north side of the river.
The focus is still on Wind Valley. The Wind Valley Industrial Zone is gradually maturing and requires countless laborers with certain skills or knowledge. No matter how many laborers there are in Green City, they will continue to flow to Wind Valley. In this way, labor intermediaries will It can be a long-term project and worth doing.
If someone eats crabs, others will follow suit.
Green City now has more than a dozen offices, large and small, with an average monthly labor force of about 3,000.
With these 3,000 laborers, about 1,200 families will choose to move in with their whole families.
There are only 1,200 families in the majority, because many of them are family members. For example, if there are three children in the family, they may work together for fear of being cheated.
There are 1,200 families, and based on the family structure outside the kingdom, the average number of people can reach 6,000, and may even exceed 8,000.
With such intensity of population mobility, it is impossible to pretend to be blind even if you want to.
The city most seriously affected by Green's behavior was Elta City. When the border was still in Red Rock City and they planned to build a railway to the outside world, it was the only city in the surrounding area that could barely be included in the options together with Blackwater City.
The population size of Elte City is similar to that of Blackwater City, both around 50,000 people. Because detailed surveys cannot be done outside the country, there may be certain errors.
She is located in the upper reaches of the Emerald River, but the hydrological environment is much better than that of the Emerald River. A small river and dozens of streams developed in the mountainous area converge into a lake. The water flowing out of the lake is called the Emerald River.
This medium-sized lake of nearly two square kilometers provides a basis for survival for tens of thousands of people.
In terms of the average productivity level in the penal colony, Elte City has a relatively complex division of labor. The main exported commodities are various kinds of cloth, while fish and animal husbandry are only sufficient for local digestion.
In the past two years, the lords of Elte City had been troubled by the refugees coming from the east. The intermediaries in Green City were still having fun when they first started their business, but within a few months things went wrong.
The Phoenix Kingdom is like a black hole. No amount of labor can satisfy its appetite. In just a few months, it has drained the refugee population dry. It has even caused a continuous increase in the price of local labor in Elte City!
The lord couldn't sit still and decided to declare war!
He was about to send out the whole army to fight, but his subordinates tried their best to persuade him to stop.
The war is said to be about money, but in fact it is about people and productivity.
Money is nothing to talk about. Due to the influence of the iron trade, many Elte folk workshops already use Phoenix coins to calculate prices.
People, the Phoenix King has jurisdiction over Phoenix City, South Town, Xincheng, Hongshi, Fenggu, Green, Intersection, Dongshan Road and West Intersection (the east and west sides of Intersection City). If a businessman goes in and takes a look, the estimated number of people will not be less than Three hundred thousand.
Productivity... it's better not to mention it. Of course, the level of the lord of Elte City's subordinates is not high enough to realize the difference between productivity and industrial scissors.
But even based on the population alone, this battle is absolutely unwinnable. The proportion of high-level mages produced by others is much lower. Such a large population can guarantee several five-ring combat talents.
The Green City is not too far from Erte. The fact that this small broken city can be maintained next to Erte shows that Erte's military strength is not that high. As a comparison, within fifty kilometers around Blackwater City, there is no one with a population of less than 30,000, because the city is so small that it is easy to be beaten to death.
"Don't fight? Should I imitate the green waste and join the Phoenix King when the business can no longer continue?"
...It's actually pretty good.
Of course, the person in charge didn’t dare to say this: “Didn’t Blackwater City endure it? We endured it too. I’ve inquired and found out that the Phoenix King has only attacked Red Rock City and Junction City. Both of them were beaten for those who took the initiative to cause trouble.”
