Chapter 148: Preparing for Recruitment

After some deliberation, the cement workshop was so happily settled. According to the knowledge of cement plant construction in Zhao Yuan's mind, some links were replaced by manual labor, which required Zhao Yuan to design a new set of processes according to the actual situation.

In the end, the cement workshop with a total investment of 10,000 copper coins was determined, which was funded by Wan Yunjun, Zhang Xucong, Wang Pinxuan, Ran Yanbo, and Zhao Yuan.

"We're going back tomorrow, and it's up to you, Brother Atom, to do this." Things are settled, Zhang Xucong said with a smile.

"Okay, the cement workshop may take a long time to generate revenue, and I will let the second brother inform you when it is produced, and if you are free at that time, you can come and take a look." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.

From Wan Yunjun taking Zhao Yuan to see Zhang Xucong and the three of them, several people's names towards Zhao Yuan changed quite quickly from ignoring them at the beginning, to directly calling them by name later, and then to the current Atomic Brothers.

Now that there is a soap business and the construction of a cement workshop that is about to begin, the security team that Zhao Yuan has been thinking about can also be realized, and the manpower is recruited from the refugee team, which was confirmed when several people discussed.

After drawing up the documents and confirming the relationship between rights and responsibilities, several people signed their names on it, pressed their handprints, and it was already dark for a while.

Although the county town imposed a curfew at night, this had no effect on Zhang Xucong and the others, and they boarded the carriage and rushed to the place where they lived.

Wan Yunjun's wife Zhan Qiaoyun and her party also returned for a while, and Zhao Yuan chatted with Wan Yunjun alone for a while, holding a sign to deal with the inspection of the curfew soldiers, and took Shao Meng to carry the lantern and walked towards the place where he lived.

"Master, will you go back directly?" Walking out of Wan Yunjun's house, Shao Meng asked.

"Why don't you go back, what, you still want to go to the Xiangyuan." Zhao Yuan quipped.

"How so." Shao Meng shook his head and said.

……

Wan Yunjun's house in the small courtyard was quite close, and there were no soldiers on the road.

Back in the small courtyard, Meng Ying and Luoluo were still sitting in the hall waiting for Zhao Yuan, and Yao Yuan and his wife had already gone to sleep with Xiaoya.

"Brother Yuan, I'm back." Meng Ying stood up and said.

"Well, wash up and sleep, we'll have to stay here for two days." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.

"Uncle, why didn't we see the two elder brothers, Changyan and Changsong?" Luoluo was originally dozing off, and asked when she saw Zhao Yuan coming back.

"They don't have a holiday." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Oh."

After some washing, go back to your room to rest.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yuan summoned Shao Meng and Guo Du to Wan Yunjun's house to meet the stewards sent by Zhang Xucong to help Zhao Yuan prepare for the cement workshop, and walked out of the city.

Wan Yunjun was going to see off Zhang Xucong and the two business representatives from outside Shudi today, so he didn't follow Zhao Yuan to the outside of the city.

"Boss Zhao, my young master has explained, and this matter is all arranged by you." Zhang San, the steward sent by Zhang Xucong, said after handing over the cement shares negotiated by Zhao Yuan and several people last night to Zhao Yuan.

"So do we." Wang Pinxuan and the person sent by Ran Yanbo also said, and handed the money ticket to Zhao Yuan.

"In this way, put this money here first, and when we straighten things out, we will hire an account office." Zhao Yuan said with a smile and counted the money tickets in person.

Several of them may have been explained by their respective young masters, and they seem to be getting along quite well at the moment.

The steward sent by Wan Yunjun was Wan Quan, and he also handed over a stack of money tickets to Zhao Yuan.

According to the agreement, most of this money will be exchanged for grain, and grain will be mainly purchased from the grain stores of 10,000 families.

The funds are in place, and the next thing is to see Zhao Yuan's actions.

A group of eight people rode in a horse-drawn carriage towards the outside of the city, and soon arrived at the place where the refugees were temporarily staying.

Zhao Yuan asked Shao Meng and Guo Du to go to the shanty area built by the refugees to gather the refugees and start recruiting workers.

"Have you heard, the ten thousand families in the city are going to recruit a group of workers from us, will you go?" Shao Meng and Guo both walked around among the refugees, and the news of recruitment spread.

"It's great, but it's a pity that Hanzi is injured, and I don't know if I can recruit him."

"yes, it's really not a coincidence, but I hope I can recruit it."

"Didn't that little brother say it, as long as you can work, you don't want to be lazy."

"It's good, I said that I would gather in front of the porridge shed of ten thousand families, and you all have to go."

"Of course."

…………

In the refugee camp, the heavy atmosphere was suddenly broken by the message transmitted by Shao Meng and Guo Du, and an aura called hope spread throughout the refugee camp, although everyone did not know what work needed to be done.

"Master, it's spread all over the place, at first we went to say that we didn't believe it, and then we said that Wanjia wanted to recruit people, and they were very excited." Shao Meng and Guo Du returned to the porridge shed and said to Zhao Yuan.

"It seems that here, the name of Wanjia is really useful." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Steward, have I prepared all the pen and paper I prepared?" Zhao Yuan turned his head and said to Wanquan.

"Ready, it's all here." Wanquan nodded and said.

During this time, Wanjia soup porridge also has some understanding of the number of people in the refugee camp, but the specific number is not clear, and now Zhao Yuan wants to recruit workers from the refugee camp, so he must have a certain understanding of everyone, especially some of these special talents, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, stonemasons, etc.

"By the way, when did the soup kitchen start in the porridge shed?" Zhao Yuan asked a small steward of the porridge shed again.

"Two meals a day, and the first meal starts when you have to do it." The little steward said.

"In this way, today's soup porridge is a little earlier, and the porridge must be thick and not poured in, and the money needed will come from me." Zhao Yuan said.

"Originally, we had to boil 200 catties of grain for a meal, but if we want to achieve what you said, Master Zhao, then we need 400 catties of grain." The little steward said.

"It's okay, just boil it according to four hundred catties." Zhao Yuan waved his hand and said.

Since the situation in Shu has become tense, the price of grain in the city has risen by more than 10%, and it was originally about 30 wen iron money to buy a catty, but now it costs almost 35 wen, and the increase in other grains is also about the same as wheat.

Now the soup soup kitchen is mainly to enable the refugees to live, and when the recruitment of workers is good, they will start to work, and they will definitely not have much physical strength to work just by drinking porridge, and it seems that the expenditure on food will be a large amount.

The refugees came to the outside of the porridge shed one after another, and Zhao Yuan asked Shao Meng, Guo Du and some of the guys in the porridge shed to start maintaining order outside, ready to tell everyone about the work.

"Master, there are a lot of people." On a small platform built temporarily, Guo Du said to Zhao Yuan.

"It's all here." Zhao Yuan looked at the refugees with yellow faces and thin muscles, nodded with a heavy heart and said, I hope that from today onwards, they can get out of the current situation.

"Stewards, let's get started." Zhao Yuan said hello to a few stewards and prepared to start explaining the recruitment to the refugees.

"Okay, Boss Zhao, we're all ready." On both sides of the small table, several stewards set up tables and stools, prepared paper and pencils, and recorded the situation of the refugees, including their names, places of origin, and what they would do.
