In May, it has been half a month since Donald took over the Talos family's estate.

Summer has not yet arrived, and the hot weather has already loomed into some signs.

The sun shines on the once slums, and now the residential areas are as hot as the ambient temperature.

A simple shed was erected on the right side of the dilapidated block, and seven or eight long tables and a few chairs were brought in, and the heads of several construction teams in Renas went to this station, and a recruitment office was established.

"The Senge construction team needs 15 strong laborers, and the daily wage is 5 pence!"

"We need professional masons for 10 pence a day, and apprentices for 7 pence a day for two meals a day!"

"Fawson Street needs a few people to help demolish the abandoned house, with a daily wage of 6p and all-inclusive meals!"

......

The person in charge of each construction team was shouting hard, and a wooden sign with treatment was erected in front of the table, for fear that people would not hear clearly.

The people of the slums have never seen this kind of battle, you must know that in the past, although Renas also often built construction, but it was generally concentrated in the rich area, which courtyard will be expanded today, which villa will be renovated tomorrow, this kind of project does not need too many people, the salary is very high, but the rich people are all particular about people, even if they ask the construction team to be professional workers, where to get them.

"This gentleman, are you going to work in another city?"

Some people thought that the nearby city needed helpers, after all, the daily wage for this kind of hard work was usually only 3 pence, and you had to bring your own food.

"Of course not, haven't you read the recent Renas Daily, we're all going to be blessed!"

The person in charge of the Senge construction team held the table with both hands and shouted to the people gathered around him,

"Our mayor, Lord Taros, because he was guided by the black-robed sage, is determined to rest and recuperate Rainus and build residential buildings and various public facilities for you for free!"

"How is this possible if the government wants to build us houses? ”

The credibility of the city government of Renas is really worrying in the eyes of these civilians, and many people not only do not believe it when they hear this, but also think that this is another new round of land enclosure by the government.

"It's clearly written in the newspapers, and what I just got from the government...... The project task that was paid for at the bidding meeting is that the street you are standing on now will start construction in three days, and there will be not only residential buildings, but also all kinds of shops......

The strong man in the brown vest stood on the table, waving the construction plan in his hand, and didn't care whether others could see it or not, just shouted loudly,

"If anyone doesn't believe it, go and look at the west of the city, where there are a few blocks where construction has started, and we all have a deadline for completion...... Forget it, I can't tell you guys, I repeat, I need 15 strong laborers here, working 9 hours a day, including lunch breaks, 5p a day, meals, good work and bonuses, is anyone coming?"

Having said that, the next thing is simple, the people of Renas now lack the opportunity to make money, this kind of food is also paid a high salary, as long as you have the strength to do the work, who wants to miss it?

But that's it, the construction team still hasn't recruited enough people, not because the people don't come, but because the construction team needs too many people!

The first phase of the project proposed by the municipality of Renas at the first round of tenders launched a week ago covered almost a third of the city, and according to those who have been there, as long as the bidding is successful, the project funds will be allocated on the spot, and a few boxes of gold pounds will be placed on the stage!

However, because there were too few engineering teams in the city at that time, only half of them were commissioned in the end, so the government decided to hold another bidding meeting three days later.

Anyone with a little foresight knows that engaging in engineering must be profitable, so in just three days, a large number of construction teams have emerged in the city of Renas, and the Senge construction team is one of them.

If the construction team wants to work, people must be indispensable, so a large number of unemployed vagrants who were not cared about a week ago immediately became sweet.

As soon as the construction team only recruits strong laborers, as long as it is a man in the back, some strength is required, there is no way, there is really not enough manpower, after all, they have signed a contract with the government, and it must be completed within a certain period of time, otherwise even if it is a breach of contract, they will have to pay liquidated damages, and they will go to prison if it is serious.

You must know that in this era, there is no such thing as running away with money, because the boss behind these projects is the mayor who has been in the limelight recently, and he is a nobleman among the nobles, and whoever cheats him and is caught will not be interrogated, and will be sent directly to the gallows.

And in a black car outside of the recruitment boom on the street, Donald looked at the situation outside, and said with a faint smile on his face: "The best way to stabilize the hearts and minds of the people in Renas City is not to distribute goods to the people, but to help those who have been doing nothing all day long find a job that is enough to make them physically and mentally exhausted but earn a satisfying salary!"

The people at the bottom really don't ask for much, and a job that can support their whole family and have some comfort is enough to calm their hearts, which is one of the reasons why Donald is so eager to promote the first phase of the city construction project in the past half a month.

Squinting his eyes, feeling the power of faith growing in his mind, the smile on Donald's face became more and more intense, and he seemed to have been quite effective from the dual propaganda of the government and the people in recent times.

Although it will be quite some time before turning Renus into a Wailing Forest-like place, this is certainly a good start.

"Your decision is truly impressive: to transform the existing neighborhood and turn the scattered residential buildings into a unified residential building, which will not only facilitate the management and minimize the cost of building public facilities, but also free up large tracts of land for the construction of factories and commercial shops, and turn those originally worthless plots of land into commercial plots for which the major chambers of commerce are vying for...... This method not only solves the employment problem in the short term, reassures the hearts of the people, but also saves government costs and avoids financial crisis, and at the same time attracts the Chamber of Commerce, so that they can see the business opportunities and take the initiative to help you build Renas, and in the end, we may also be able to get a lot of income by leasing the land in the prime location, and the city government will not only not lose money, but will kill multiple birds with one stone!"

Huxley was now completely convinced of the new master's business methods, using some of the funds from the family warehouses that had been destroyed before as start-up capital, and every step that followed was to use the power of the outside world to develop Renas while taking care of almost all walks of life, so that most people were profitable.

"I have to correct one of your mistakes, not that you may be able to get a lot of profits, but inevitably! I can tell you clearly, as long as 30% of the vacated land can be developed in the short term, we will make a lot of money!"

What was the most profitable society in Donald's previous life? Aside from the methods written in the criminal law, real estate is definitely the best in the first echelon!

Now he Donald is the mayor of Renas City, except for the rich area, nearly 70% of the land in the entire slum is in his name, if he can't even think of this method, he can be said to have lived for decades in vain in his previous life.

"How is the progress of the revision of the "Factory Law", I remember that I mentioned this matter to you half a month ago, and for the time being, I only said that I wanted a rough prototype, and there has been no response yet?"

The "Factory Law" was enacted by Donald specifically to regulate the factories in the city of Rainas, and in order to seek faster development and conform to the wave of industrial revolution that has gradually emerged throughout the Lane Empire, the chaos in the industrial side of Rainas must be rectified.

Donald is not one of those conservative capitalists who still waits and sees what he wants to take step by step, for him who has seen steel giants and armed robots in Dmingham, the industrial revolution of this era is obviously more advanced and special, and he must integrate into it as soon as possible.

"The general statute has been amended, and in fact we are now facing not internal resistance, but pressure from the other capitalists and nobles of Renas, who will not sit idly by and watch the enactment of the Factory Law, although we are trying to make the industry of Renas develop faster, but in their eyes it is development at their expense...... And that's exactly what happened. ”

The municipality of Renas had been too indulgent of these capitalists and aristocrats in the past, allowing them to taste enough of the exploitation of the people, and the use of child labor, working systems that far exceeded normal working hours, and other shady methods were simply at their fingertips.

It turns out that these guys may be sluggish in other things, but they are clearer than anyone else when it comes to profiting themselves.

"It's 3 o'clock, go home first...... How far have they got?"

Donald rolled up the window and looked at Huxley, who was in the driver's seat, and asked.

"The latest information shows that several capitalists in the city have been in close contact with Viscount Adrien recently, and several other families that used to work with you seem to have moved on to something. ”

Recently, a series of changes in Renas City, these people are all watching, the Taros family quietly swallowed all the property of those families, coupled with the unsparing promotion of the black-robed sage through government channels, which undoubtedly touched the sensitive nerves of these families.

Even in the high society of Renus, there are rumors that this black-robed sage is actually a good play directed and acted by Sewit Talos in order to rob the families of their property.

They didn't dare to confront the Taros family head-on, so they naturally had to find other ways to protect their own interests.

"These people are a problem, they have been busy sorting out the affairs of Renas City lately, and they have forgotten about their existence...... You have to find a chance to reason with them. ”

Donald is not worried about this alliance of interests, since it is the interests that have brought them to the end, they will also make them part ways.
