In the early morning of the second day, after Zhao Hu had breakfast, he went to the conference hall of the City Lord's Mansion to train the hundreds of people in the training class, and impart the knowledge of the administrative system of the Earth Federation to the hundreds of people in the training class, so that the hundreds of people in the training class became the first batch of students in the current administrative system of the Earth Federation, and the first batch of trained officials on Black Rock Island, so as to manage Black Rock Island well for Zhao Hu.

At the same time, Zhao Xin, Han Lei, He Zhiyong, Li Zhijie, and Cheng Zhiming began to implement the first phase of the plan to build the capital and build roads around Heiyan Island in the first phase of the plan.

The first condition for building the capital and cultivating the roads around Black Rock Island is that it is necessary to have a large number of laborers, as long as there is a large number of laborers, you can mine mines, polish stones, cut wood, level the land, and officially start building the capital and cultivating the roads around Black Rock Island.

Therefore, when Zhao Hu trained hundreds of people in the training class on the administrative system in the training class, Zhao Xin, Han Lei, He Zhiyong, Li Zhijie, and Cheng Zhiming began to carry out a large-scale recruitment operation in Xuanwu City.

There are hundreds of thousands of people in Xuanwu City, and the surrounding villages and towns have tens of millions of people, and human resources are very rich, so Zhao Xin, Han Lei, He Zhiyong, Li Zhijie, and Cheng Zhiming are ready to recruit three million laborers in Xuanwu City and the surrounding villages and towns, so as to cultivate the roads in the capital and the surrounding areas in the shortest possible time.

Recruiting three million laborers at once was a huge and complex siege that required a large number of men and materials. Zhao Hu took out some of the grain and gold coins stored in the underground rock warehouse of the half-plane desert and stored them in the warehouse of Xuanwu City, so in terms of materials, Xuanwu City was not short for the time being.

However, there were too few managers in Xuanwu City to meet the requirements of large-scale recruitment of laborers, so after Zhao Xin, Han Lei, He Zhiyong, Li Zhijie, and Cheng Zhiming discussed, it was decided to use soldiers in the army to assist in the recruitment of laborers, and after recruiting enough laborers, some managers were selected from among the laborers, so as to eliminate the problem of insufficient management personnel.

After the five people finished the discussion, the 100,000 troops in Xuanwu City were divided into small teams and scattered into the villages and towns near Xuanwu City, setting up recruitment points one by one to carry out recruitment work.

Dayoucheng is located a hundred miles southwest of Xuanwu City, and is an ordinary small city with a dense population and sparse arable land.

At this time, near the four city gates of Dayou City, four recruitment points were set up, and the people near the city gate involuntarily surrounded the recruitment points at the city gate.

"Da Mao, aren't you a soldier in Xuanwu City? How did you get to Dayou City? ”

A young man in a gray robe with yellow muscles walked to the recruitment point with a curious look on his face and said to a soldier at the recruitment point.

"It turned out to be a big cow! Brother Niu, that's the case, the lord is going to build the capital and build roads to all parts of Black Rock Island, but there is a shortage of manpower, so let's be soldiers for the time being, and recruit some laborers! ”

Hearing the words of the yellow-faced young man, a soldier at the recruitment point hurriedly said with a smile on his face.

"Recruitment? How's the treatment? Hearing the words of the soldiers at the recruitment point, Da Niu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked loudly.

"Brother Niu, let me tell you, our lord is very rich and generous, and all the laborers not only provide food and shelter, but also give a salary of one silver coin or twenty catties of grain every day. Brother Da Niu, your conditions are good, you are literate, you can serve as a labor leader, you can pay two silver coins a day, or receive fifty catties of grain, as long as you work for a few months, your family will have a year's food! Hearing the sound of the big cow's inquiry, the soldier said with a smile on his face.

"The treatment of laborers is so good, could it be that the lord is lying to us!" Hearing the soldier's words, Da Niu said with some hesitation, such good conditions and treatment made him, a person who had not been able to eat enough, feel incredible.

"Brother Niu, don't worry! Our lord is very wealthy, and he doesn't care about this little money! In order to dispel people like Brother Da Niu, our lord specially allows all laborers to receive a month's salary or a month's food first! Hearing Da Niu's words, the soldier did not get angry, but explained with a smile on his face.

"Such a good treatment, I signed up!" Hearing the soldier's words, Da Niu thought about the empty rice jar at home, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said loudly.

"Brother Da Niu, because you are the first to sign up and are literate, I can make you the leader of the laborers, manage a hundred ordinary laborers, two silver coins a day, or fifty catties of grain! Now, Brother Da Niu, you can receive a month's salary of sixty silver or a month's 1,500 catties of grain, do you want silver coins or grain! Hearing Da Niu's words, the soldier said with a smile on his face.

"I want food!" Hearing the soldier say that he could receive 1,500 catties of grain first, Da Niu's face showed an excited look, and he hurriedly said loudly.

"Okay, Brother Niu, come with me!" After registering the name of the bull, the soldier led the bull with a smile on his face to an open-air warehouse near the city gate.

"Brother Niu, this is a ticket for 1,500 catties of grain, if you hold this ticket, you can take 1,500 catties of grain away at any time! Take your time to get the food! I'm going to the recruiting station! After taking the bull to an open-air warehouse not far away and giving him a grain stamp of 1,500 catties, the soldier returned to the recruitment point.

Soon after, the big cow pushed a flatbed cart full of grain, came out of the open-air granary with a smile on his face, and walked in the direction of his home.

"Da Niu, you really received 1,500 catties of grain!" Seeing the big cow pushing a cart of grain out of the open-air granary, the people surrounding the city gate involuntarily surrounded it, and hurriedly asked loudly.

"Of course! Didn't you see the food in the car? Hearing everyone's inquiries, Da Niu said loudly with a smile on his face.

As soon as Da Niu's voice fell, the people who surrounded him immediately let out an exclamation, and quickly rushed towards the direction where the recruitment point was located, and shouted loudly: "I want to sign up!" I want to sign up! ”

"Line up, come one by one, we have no limit on recruiting workers this time, we will recruit as many people as possible, so don't squeeze, line up, come one by one!" Looking at the people who came up, the soldiers at the recruitment point immediately shouted loudly, and took the initiative to allocate some manpower to maintain order on the scene.

When the people of Dayou Town flocked to the recruitment points to sign up for labor, the recruitment points in Xuanwu City and other urban areas were also overcrowded, and a large number of people signed up for labor and received a large amount of food.

In order to recruit enough laborers, Zhao Xin, Han Lei, He Zhiyong, Li Zhijie, and Cheng Zhiming prepared a total of one million tons of grain and one million gold coins, which were scattered to various recruitment points, enough to pay the first month's wages or food for the workers at each recruitment point.

At the end of the first day, Zhao Xin, Han Lei, He Zhiyong, Li Zhijie, and Cheng Zhiming totaled 2 million laborers at each recruitment point, completing two-thirds of the scheduled plan, making a good start, making the five people happy, praising their subordinates, and guaranteeing that after the recruitment is over, a generous bonus will be given.

With the recruitment experience on the first day, the recruitment work on the second day and the third day was very smooth, recruiting 1 million and 500,000 laborers respectively, and the three days combined, a total of 3.5 million laborers were recruited.

Three and a half million laborers was a huge number, and it almost wiped out the elite men in the towns near Xuanwu City. The 3.5 million laborers need to consume a huge amount of materials every day, and if you want to manage these 3.5 million laborers well, you also need a large number of management personnel.

However, Zhao Xin, Han Lei, He Zhiyong, Li Zhijie, and Cheng Zhiming were prepared for a long time, and directly selected more than 30,000 foremen from among the laborers, and each foreman was responsible for managing 100 familiar laborers, so that the pressure of insufficient manpower was greatly reduced.

As soon as the 3.5 million laborers were recruited, 1 million of them were sent to the construction site of the capital to build the capital, while the other 2.5 million laborers were scattered to various places to cultivate the roads in various places.

3.5 million laborers is a huge number, 3.5 million people working together, it is also a very spectacular sight, from the air of Black Rock Island, you can see the center of the capital, dense crowds, crowded on a narrow line, waving the tools in their hands, carrying out a huge scale of road construction work.

Of course, most of the 3.5 million laborers have no education and can only do simple manual work, so among these huge numbers of workers are scattered a large number of professionals.

Under the guidance of these professionals, 3.5 million laborers carried out the construction of the capital and road construction work in an orderly manner, so that the area around the capital city has undergone tremendous changes every day, almost one day at a time, fully demonstrating the truth that there is great power in numbers.
