Qin Xiao arranged all this personally. He wanted to know exactly all the news about Xu Mo.
…
Toyosu.
this day.
Yang Da and his men were routinely inquiring about information on the street.
The street suddenly became lively.
Go over and ask.
"Have you heard that the government has started to recruit workers. It is based on the identity list registered before."
"That's great, when does it start?"
"Where's the job notice? I didn't see it."
"Yes, if we really want to recruit workers, we will definitely put up a notice."
Everyone was talking about it, not sure whether it was true or false.
"This is absolutely true. Someone above me got the news in advance from the government, and the government even let it out."
"Then is there any useful information? For example, do you know how much the wages are?"
"Haha, this is it..."
In the middle of his words, the man looked like he was hesitating to speak. He was so angry that everyone itched their hands and wanted to beat him up.
It's so appetizing.
There are also people who are discussing it themselves.
"It's definitely not much higher."
"In a poor place like Fengzhou, if you can earn two to three hundred cash a month, it's pretty good."
"Yeah, stop dreaming, pie will not fall from the sky."
"How can the government be so kind and give so much money to the people for free?"
"Not necessarily!"
"Master Xu said, let the common people make a fortune first."
"It seems reasonable."
People discussed it for a while, but still had no clue. So, they all looked at the guy with someone on top.
"Tell me, have you found out how much wages the government pays?"
"Speak quickly! Otherwise I'm going to beat you up!"
"How much exactly?"
Everyone's anxious eyes were about to burst out with fire.
The man said slowly: "An ordinary worker earns two taels of silver a month."
"But what I do is hard physical work, and it's outside the city. I do it for five hours a day."
Hearing this, the crowd burst into excitement.
The noise got even louder.
"No way? Five hours a day, two taels of silver a month?! Isn't this treatment too good?"
Five hours is ten hours.
In ancient times, ordinary people would get up early and stay busy late at night.
But I can barely make two taels of silver a month.
This is much better than working on your own farm.
I think of ways to make money by myself and work twelve hours a day.
For ordinary people, this recruitment news from the government is like pie in the sky.
Hey, I'm not done yet! "
"Two taels of silver still means you don't have any skills. The wages of ordinary small workers, such as carpenters, bricklayers, stonemasons, and blacksmiths. Those with some technical content will only get higher wages."
"It's unclear how much each type of work costs, but it's definitely higher than ordinary ones, with a base of three to four taels of silver."
boom!
Everyone was extremely happy, so why not start the pot?
Craftsmen can also get a monthly salary of three to four taels, which is something that has never happened before.
Someone said with tears in their eyes: "If it is true, Mr. Xu is really a good person!"
"Yes, Mr. Xu keeps his word, and the people finally have a good life!"
"It must be true. After all, I haven't seen the notice yet."
Many people remain dubious.
But the man who revealed the news was unhappy and shouted:
"What are you talking about? How could what I revealed not be true?"
"That's what I heard from a relative who also works in the yamen."
"In the future, many factories will be built in Fengzhou, such as iron smelting plants, cement plants, etc."
Many people have never heard of these new terms for "factories".
Someone asked him: "Is this what your relatives heard?"
The man said loudly and triumphantly:
"You guys really have never seen the world. When our Lord Xu was in Chong County, we built many factories like this."
"Many of the people who come here are wealthy businessmen from Chong County. They came here with Mr. Xu. It's definitely true."
Everyone was happy and exclaimed: "Ordinary workers only have two taels of silver, and skilled workers have more than three taels. How much money does it cost to have so many common people!"
"Yeah, do you have that much money?"
"Don't say it with a clear conscience, but then you can't afford the money."
The man snorted with disdain.
"If you say you haven't seen the world, that means you haven't seen the world. You unscrupulous people, does Mr. Xu need to lie to you?"
"You don't have to wait long. It is estimated that there will be a notice posted outside the government office in a while."
"Tomorrow, some factories will probably start recruiting workers."
These words still make people feel uneasy.
But by noon, breaking news came from the city.
The notice was posted.
Recruiting workers, large-scale recruitment, ordinary small workers are paid two taels of silver a month, and skilled workers are based on level, starting with three taels of silver.
Exactly what that person said.
There was no need to wait until tomorrow. Within an hour, as expected, someone in the east of the city started recruiting workers to prepare for the factory that was about to be built.
Now, there are government notices and recruitment news. They are absolutely true and cannot be fake.
The recruitment content is relatively simple, basically manual labor, moving bricks and tiles, running errands and other physical tasks.
now.
The people of Fengzhou finally believed that they could make a lot of money.
The whole city was shocked.
People were running excitedly on the streets. Some hurried home and called for people at home who could work, while others hurried to the factory to sign up.
The entire Fengzhou Prefecture was in full swing.
All ten rooms were empty, and everyone ran out.
It’s a rare time in Toyosu when you can make money anywhere.
No one is willing to miss it.
No one wants to make more money.
Even Yang Da sneaked in with people from the Imperial City Department and wanted to go work.
It's almost catching up with the income of their Imperial City Division, why don't they hurry up?
But by the time Yang Da and the others arrived at the factory gate, it was already so crowded that they couldn't even squeeze in.
Many anxious people ran to the government gate again, crying and crying.
"Sir, please give me a spot!"
"We are a family of seven, and we haven't even grabbed a single spot. How can we survive?"
"And our family can endure any hardship. One person can bear the burden of two, so give it a chance!"
Seeing this situation.
The Imperial City Secretaries all believed that such a high monthly salary was absolutely real.
But the cries of the people could not make the government open the door.
After a long time, a few arrogant officials came out.
Putting his hands on his waist, he looked at the crowd and cursed: "You bunch of unruly people, why are you crying?"
"It's just one factory that has just come out now. There will be more in the future. What's the rush?"
"Stop making a fuss and leave."
