After finishing the meal, Cheng Zhijie felt his stomach and left with satisfaction.
Tang Ping found Li Guangbi.
The specifics of this matter still have to be left to him.
"Ping Guo Gong means that we need manpower to reclaim the wasteland in Luoyang. It is best if one or two people from a family can work, right?"
Tang Ping nodded, this was what Cheng Zhijie meant, and it contained the intention of leaving their family as hostages in Chang'an.
After all, this matter must be handled carefully, and it is always good to have an extra layer of insurance.
"But we still try to get everyone to sign up voluntarily first. I can guarantee that they will definitely earn more than if they went to the workshop area. Before each person sets off, I will first give out one thousand special zone coins, and then every month in the future, they will make more money according to where they are. If the situation is different, we will send special zone coins to their homes."
"This is a good thing, Duke Ping!" Li Guangbi patted his chest: "Once this is revealed, I'm afraid everyone will rush to sign up."
"Aren't they afraid of leaving home?" Tang Ping asked uncertainly.
"Hey, aren't you going to be away for more than half a year? It turns out that if someone goes with you to run a boat or do business, you may not be able to come back after a round trip for more than half a year."
"And it turns out that if I go there, it's hard to say whether I can make money. You, Mr. Pingguo, still give money to your family every month. I dare say everyone will rush to go!"
Li Guangbi knew the situation in the Special Administrative Region best. Hearing what he said made Tang Ping feel relieved.
"Okay, then you can call the representatives from each neighborhood and community to come over for a meeting and inform them of the matter. I just asked Lu Yi to go back to the store to print the registration form. If you want to sign up, just Fill out the form."
"Yes!" Li Guangbi agreed, and then called for a meeting.
I have to say that he is running this special zone really well now.
Within a short time, representatives from every neighborhood and neighborhood arrived.
Sure enough, as soon as Tang Ping finished speaking, many representatives asked Tang Ping if they could go. If so, they didn't have to be representatives of the community.
Isn’t it just to go to Luoyang to farm for half a year? Where is work not work? It just so happened that after working there for more than half a year, the workshop area in Chang'an had almost been expanded, and I could continue to work in the workshop area.
It’s all about living a good life, who doesn’t have Xiao Jiujiu in their heart?
When Tang Ping saw that everyone was really so enthusiastic, he raised his hand to calm everyone down and then said: "It's just that the things I planted this time need to be kept secret, so I won't be able to contact my family for more than half a year. But don't worry, I, Tang Ping, can guarantee that everyone will be quiet." The safety of a man from the past.”
"Ping Guo Gong, we believe you!"
"Yes, you are different from our former powerful people in Beiyan. Everyone can feel that you are really doing it for everyone's good!"
"Yes, you will definitely not lie to us. Only one person in my family can work in the workshop area. If I can go out and make money alone, my family's money will be enough for my children to study. It's not too late for us to thank you! "
Tang Ping never expected that the recruitment matter could be solved so easily.
The registration form was sent out, but Li Guangbi reported back the next day, saying that too many people had signed up. Later, in accordance with Tang Ping's request, a total of 15,000 people were recruited.
Tang Ping reported the matter to Cheng Zhijie, and Cheng Zhijie ran to Tang Ping's shop the same day after receiving the news.
"Boy Tang, you are really reliable in doing things!" He gave Tang Ping a thumbs up and said, "Without further delay, we will get people over tomorrow night."
"So urgent?"
"Go there early and don't worry. Tomorrow night, people from the special team will drive to your special zone to pick you up, and then send them directly to Luoyang. If you want to follow, I will call you some more cars and call you Lao Cui Lao Dudu. Drive and help drop off people.”
"Lu Guogong, you are so good at calculations!" Tang Ping was speechless for a while. The highway from Chang'an to Luoyang has been repaired long ago. When it gets dark at night, we will pick him up. He will probably be able to reach Luoyang the next night. After another day's driving, he will be there. I can get to the place.
"Hey, isn't it because there are not enough people who can drive now?"
The Tang Army is now specifically training drivers, but this cannot be accomplished overnight.
After all, this steam locomotive is different from modern cars and has a higher failure rate. In addition to being able to drive, drivers in the Tang Dynasty army also have to learn to repair cars, so the training time will naturally be long.
He agreed to go because he believed in Tang Ping, so Tang Ping naturally wanted to follow him and have a look.
Everything was agreed upon, and when it was getting dark the next night, a convoy drove into the special zone.
The selected people had all packed their things. In fact, there was not much to pack. Tang Ping promised that he would give everyone work clothes, and they would also take care of food and housing. In the past, they would just cultivate wasteland. .
So everyone carried a small baggage, said goodbye to their families, and boarded the steam locomotive that transported them.
During this time, there were many steam locomotives used to build houses and haul materials, so they were not afraid of this. It was just the first time to go out on a train, so they were inevitably a little excited.
The road from Chang'an to Luoyang was not very well built, at least it was not as good as modern county roads, but fortunately there were almost no other cars except them, so the drive was fairly smooth.
We arrived outside Luoyang City successfully the next night, but did not enter the city. The people in the city were chatty and troublesome.
We found a place outside the city to spend the night, and continued on the road the next day.
After driving for a long time, the steam locomotive could no longer move.
"Pingguo Gong, if we go twenty miles further, we will be at the right place, but the steam locomotive cannot be driven."
The road was not repaired, so Tang Ping's pickup truck would have no problem with its off-road performance, but these steam locomotives would probably fall apart.
These drivers all regard their cars as treasures, so they can only walk on their feet for the last part of the journey.
Tang Ping nodded to express his understanding. You can see two small hills on this side, and you can enter through one opening.
As long as the Tang army established outposts on the hills on both sides, it would be difficult to let outsiders in from a high position.
Tang Ping drove slowly ahead and finally arrived at the place where cotton was grown before dark.
To be honest, this place looks pretty good at first glance. There are a lot of bungalows built in a mess, and it is almost enough for a few people to live in one room.
But Tang Ping immediately became angry after reading it.
"Who is in charge here!"
