Chapter 237. Let's work, Dad!
Wang Hou is different from any warlord of this era! Others are three feet high in their own territory, and the poor can't live anymore, and they go to other people's territory to grab money, food, and women! ......, Wang Hou seems to rob women, but he is so rich in his own territory, looking at the "gold and silver mines", the population of development is not enough! The most important thing is to come here and rob people!
More than a dozen iron ore mines have been discovered in Taishan County, and this year, Rizhao Iron and Steel Plant will expand its production scale and need to recruit people!
Wang Hou planned to build a gallop road from Linzi to Rizhao City, so as to make better use of scissors to transport iron pots, iron bowls, iron cabinets, furniture, farm tools, and cotton coats of industrial products to Qidi, collect and scrape the old wealth of the landlords and stuffed the grain into the granary, and recruit people to build roads.
Now that the demand for cement has doubled, cement factories also need to recruit people.
That Wang Hou also wants to open the port of Qingdao, where the largest port shipbuilding center in the north will be built, and construction workers will also be needed there!
With the stimulation of Rizhao industry and commerce, the grain industry in Guangling County is also developing on a large scale this year, Chen Dengdu plans to open up wasteland, and he even needs people to work in Xuzhou, and there are so many job opportunities!
But the old bolt head took the family, and none of them went!
Under the blue-gray Linzi city wall, with a large family, squatting there with his sleeves shrunk, the old bolt still looked left and right in disbelief, muttering in disbelief.
"It's weird! The city of Linzi was stuffed back then, why is there no one this year? ”
It's not that there is no one, there are people who squat on the wall like him, but they are a group of lazy people, lazily shrinking there, eating and waiting for death is not willing to work, there are rich families in the city who come out to give a porridge and a steamed bun to mix, if not, they are hungry, and they would rather be hungry than find a job!
"Aweng, can there be anyone? As soon as they arrived, they were recruited! If you want me to say that the fat lady is very real, why don't we go along, aren't we afraid of working and making food is not good? ”
It's been squatting for a day, and the old man's misjudgment made the young people in the clan become suspicious, but listening to Ah Wu's words, the old bolt rolled his eyes angrily.
"What do you kid know? Three meals a day with fish? Give you back the cloth, dream! Those people are clearly cannibals, let's go with the past, maybe we will be deceived somewhere to slaughter the pot! You see that they are so fat, they all eat human flesh! There is not even a patch on the clothes on the body, and the clothes of the dead are also picked up and sealed with cloth! ”
Ah Wu is really a little crying and laughing, when they came yesterday, one was recruited hundreds of them, and this morning they were recruited hundreds more, and they were all killed and ate human flesh? That can't be survived? Full of helplessness, he was reckless.
"Ah Weng, what about the official government recruitment! The government is always credible! It's better than starving here! ”
"Official? The government is even more unbelievable, it is to recruit the horse's hooves to be gray, and in a big battle, they will drive you forward to stop the horses' hooves! You don't know why Lao Liu Tou and his son died in the east of the village! ”
"Listen to Lao Tzu! Wait! The government is so scraped, in a few days, those who escape from the famine will have to block the Linzi City Gate, and then we will follow in! ”
The old man was really stubborn, his goatee was pouting, his hand was inserted into his cuffs, and he was squatting under the wall of Linzi City, and Ah Wu, who was watching, shook his head helplessly.
…………
In order to accumulate some yin virtue, there are families in the city who send people out from time to time to send some food to send some food, and there can be a squatting and half-full person a day!
But everyone has pursuits, holding cold steamed buns and stuffing them into his mouth, when Ah Wu was filling his stomach, a milky sound suddenly sounded not far away.
"Mother, why are these people squatting in the corner of the city wall!"
"These are lazy people who are not motivated, rice worms, waste people who deserve to starve to death, big brother, can you learn from them when you grow up!"
"Well, mother, I will never learn from them!"
Carrying the basket, under the escort of the family, this took the son who had been educated on the spot, and the glamorous lady and lady left satisfied, but Ah Wu, who listened to it, was sad and full of helplessness, and he turned his head to look at his father again!
But he pretended not to see it, gnawing on the cold steamed bun, the old bolt head brushed his head to the side, and Ah Wu, who was looking at it, shook his head helplessly.
There is a saying that no coincidence is not a book, just when Ah Wu was bored to sell the bill, Leng Buding suddenly kept his eyes, glanced at his father who was squatting on the ground, and quietly tiptoed out of the house.
Wang Hou was disarmed, and only 20,000 of the 70,000 people were left, of course, the rest of the people were not just let go, wouldn't it be a manpower for the Qi family to deal with when they were put back? And it is not easy to grasp a large number of young and middle-aged laborers in their hands, without squeezing out some blood and sweat, where is the style of Wang Hou, a profiteer?
A total of 60,000 people were all organized into reserve corps, 10,000 people repaired the road from Linzi, passed through Dongguan County, and arrived at Rizhao City, 20,000 people packed up their things and set off, 10,000 from Rizhao City to Linzi City in the opposite direction, 10,000 built the road to Taishan County, and 10,000 people were also sent directly to Rizhao City, but after a short stay in Rizhao, they would bring materials to build Qingdao Port.
Now there are 20,000 reserve auxiliaries left in Linzi City, and Wang Hou has to recruit additional auxiliaries among the homeless.
Although it costs a lot to repair the road now, but Wang Hou is not a loss-making business, after the road is repaired, he will also build toll gates in the various counties he passes by, and learn from the future generations to block the road and rob, get on his straight, and the goods have to pay him a high-speed fee! He will also set up a patrol cavalry to gallop on the straight road to block and rob, catch you and punish you to death!
Although he didn't treat these auxiliary soldiers as real soldiers, Wang Hou, who was obsessive-compulsive, in order to show their identity as soldiers, eliminated the regular army that had been formed and equipped, and put on the broken leather armor and pierced armor for them to wear, so that he was brave again.
And to Ah Wu's surprise, just now he saw a person wearing a piece of armor, carrying a rare knife, with a piece of red cloth wrapped around his arm, performing the task of maintaining law and order, and it was said that he had died outside, Liu Zhuzi, the only seedling son of the old Liu Tou in the village!
"Brother Pillar!"
A little unbelievably followed the patrol for a while, and Ah Wu cautiously followed the call, not to mention, this Liu Zhuzi was also mixed with a small official, listening to the familiar country voice, and suddenly led the team to stop, he also turned his head in disbelief and shouted in surprise.
"Awu! You ......, how did you get here! ”
"Yes, do you know the news in our township? What's wrong with my dad and the big fart? ”。
Surprised and rushed to Ah Wu, shaking his arm, Liu Zhuzi asked hurriedly, however, Ah Wu's expression was frozen there when he heard this.
"Brother, listen to me, you ......, don't worry!"
