Chapter 80: Recruitment
"Hey, the big pillar is out"
"How is the big pillar, is it true?"
"Dazhu, tell us quickly, the salary is really a daily settlement?"
As soon as Qiao Dazhu came out, a group of idlers surrounded him, all wondering what was going on inside and whether what was written on the notice was true. Qiao Dazhu rubbed his face and said: "It should be true, the adults inside have registered the information for me, saying that they have recruited enough people in the past two days, so they will notify me", several people looked at each other, and decided to wait and see for a while, working for the county government, there are too many cases where the last copper plate will not come out, although this notice is quite tempting, but what you eat in your mouth is called cake, and what you hold in your hand is called money.
It is also with the spread of these idlers, the matter of the county government recruiting workers has spread, and many idle laborers at home have come to the county government to report, not to mention anything else, the salary may not be paid, but the lunch at noon must be available, right? It's better to stay at home, it's better to go to work, at least you can get a meal, which is also the idea of most of the people who came to sign up, that is, the big workers have not been recruited, and the long-term miners have not been recruited, all of them are temporary workers.
This is the first thing Su Bai handed over to Tang Ju, Tang Ju wants to show his face in front of Su Bai, if this first thing is messed up, it will be really 'too face-showing'. At that moment, he personally went out and came to the house of an old bricklayer in the county, so that he could be regarded as asking him out of the mountain, and he also guaranteed that there was absolutely no possibility of not returning to the salary, even if the court did not give it, he would personally give the money to him. Only then did I invite a big worker, and everyone found it, brought in building materials, and started construction in Dongshan and began to build a cement workshop.
On the other hand, some more temporary workers were recruited, and they began to mine while reinforcing the mine, which is a matter of human life, and it is not the season of taxation, Su Bai has nothing to do day by day, and the county chronicles have all been seen, and he hides in the backyard of the county government all day long, writing novel scripts, Wang Fatzi is also bored and stays with Su Bai every day, and occasionally calls Wang Xiaobao and the three of them to play poker. As for the construction site, Su Bai asked Han Laohu to follow, and Wang Fatzi asked his housekeeper to follow, there is absolutely no problem in terms of safety, and now the manpower is full, and even many people are looking for a way to join in.
Why? This is to start from the first day of the construction site, that day under the leadership of the master, more than 20 small workers in full swing to work, to say that the cave is actually simple, not to mention the drawings given by Su Bai, everything is covered according to the drawings, and the work is not too tiring. Han Laohu, the overseer, didn't urge them, this was all explained by Su Bai, Tang Ju also sent Su Bai to the construction site, brainwashing the workers every day, how much the adults in his family cared about the people, how talented they were, and so on.
When it was time to eat at noon, when the buckets of rice were served, everyone's eyes were green, and now the people eat more chestnut rice, rice, white noodles, etc., which are rarely eaten, not to mention that there is such an opportunity to be full, at that time, they were screaming and filling the rice bowls, and they didn't need vegetables, they squatted aside to eat, Tang Ju shouted: "Don't worry, don't worry, there is meat behind!" The workers didn't care about this, they swallowed the rice in their mouths, and when the buckets of stewed pork were brought up, everyone was dizzy again, really, really there was meat?
The piece of big fat meat that sinks up and down in the soup, for any modern person to see it will feel dizzy, but it is a rare delicacy in the Tang Dynasty folk, although the current Tang people rarely raise pigs, and do not like to eat pork, but for these poor people, pork is still a luxury, a big bowl for one person, almost all meat without much soup, rice can be added casually, must be full. After eating, he gave everyone a two-quarter hour break, saying that the county magistrate said that after eating, they should not exercise vigorously and should consume food, which can move these workers a lot, and the favorability of the county order is rising rapidly.
When the salary was paid in the evening, this favorability reached its peak, 80 wen per person, 150 wen for the big worker, because there was only such a big worker who could read the drawings, Su Bai deliberately gave him a long salary, a thousand gold to buy horse bones, and he was a county magistrate in Juxian County, so he must spread his credit.
Su Bai's efforts are rewarded, when these workers go home that night, the tinkling copper coins in their arms will not deceive people, plus their publicity, how good the food at noon is, the adults do not urge them to work, they are embarrassed to do it, etc., the next morning, more than 200 people lined up at the gate of the county government, all planning to sign up.
In the end, Su Bai only needed fifty, and now the scale is too small to use these laborers, and it is a waste of manpower to recruit them, and when the road construction begins, these laborers can come in handy!
There are a lot of recruits, but Tang Ju is beautiful enough, which can also indirectly prove his ability, Su Bai did not skimp on his praise, and praised Tang Ju for a while, when Tang Ju walked out of the third hall, his chest was so strong that he couldn't see his toes.
Under everyone's enthusiastic work progress, the cement workshop is changing day by day, and there is already a rough outline in a few days, Su Bai went to the construction site to see it once, and asked Tang Ju to recruit some people, clear out the vacant land next to it, build a large warehouse, and build some simple houses next to the workshop, when the workers are temporarily resting, and night watchmen and so on can live here.
Tang Ju nodded and said that there was no problem, now recruiting people or something, it is not too simple, I don't know how many people are staring at these places with green eyes every day.
When several workers heard that they were going to recruit people to build houses, they smiled at the time: "My lord, there is no need to recruit people, building a house or something is our old business, after this workshop is built, we will build it for adults", Su Bai smiled slightly, these people's minds are really straightforward and cute, and they are all trying to eat rice for two more days.
Of course, Su Bai's decision will not be changed, the first is because he has to seize all the time to get the production line out first, spring is about to begin, and when it is time to farm, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recruit workers. The second is because he needs money very much, although Liao Zhai can bring him an income of several hundred taels every day, but these are far from enough, he still needs a lot of money, no, it should be said that he needs a lot of food.
Two days ago, he and Tang Ju went to the granary in the county, but the result was empty, the kind of empty that didn't even do a little face engineering, which can't be wronged Yao Danian, but the previous outgoing county order guarded the empty granary, during the Sui and Tang wars, all the grain in the granary was pulled away as military food, and it has been collected since then. It is also a bit ridiculous, each county magistrate handed over part of the collected taxes to the state, seized part of it himself, and divided it up, but no one thought about the granary in the county again, and it seemed that he was not worried about what to do when the people had no food to eat when a natural disaster broke out.
After the workshop is built, the first step is to build a road out, first build a part of the road from Juxian County to Chang'an, first make a look, and then entrust Mr. Wang to introduce some big businessmen to introduce cement to them, I believe that this building material will definitely attract them enough interest, and then it is to exchange food! Yes, the Wang family fully supports themselves, and they can't let the Wang family suffer, after paying the taxes normally, the two families will be divided in half, and he doesn't care about the Wang family's part, but his part must be all exchanged for grain.
Su Bai plans to fill the granary with one fell swoop!
Wang Fugui is the one who knows Su Bai the most, and when the two chatted, he asked Su Bai, why? Buying food out of your own pocket, shouldn't this be a matter for the imperial court? It's good to let the court do these things, of course, your own money is your own, you can use it to buy a big house, you can use it to marry a concubine, you can buy a lot of treasures, why buy food? And it's not for yourself.
Su Bai smiled: "I want to do something for the people when I am an official, maybe only the little people understand the little people, and only the little people will help the little people", Wang Fugui smiled: "You are not a little person, you are the county order, the head of this county, this is still called a little person?" Su Bai smiled, this is indeed something that the imperial court should deal with, but isn't he also a member of the imperial court now?
'Nations rise and fall; The husband is responsible'
These eight words are Su Bai's answer to Wang Fugui, and on this day, Wang Fugui looked at Su Bai with some indescribable things in his eyes, similar to respect and worship......
......
Su Bai's reputation also spread throughout the county with the propaganda of the workers, everyone knows that this nine-year-old county master loves the people like a son, and is very appreciated by the saints, although he is young, but his wisdom is much more powerful than that of ordinary adults, otherwise he would not have become a county magistrate at the age of nine.
These are mainly due to Tang Ju, and the task given to him by Su Bai is to let him work as a worker, and give them a science popularization of how good his county order is, such as loving the people like a son, promising a thousand gold, wisdom and so on. Tang Ju, this guy Su Bai is getting easier and easier to use the more he uses it, no matter what task you give him, he can find a way to complete it for you.
For example, when it was to publicize this matter, he made up several stories for Su Bai, of course, they were all positive stories, and when the workers were resting, he told them as a funnyman, and it didn't take long for these stories to spread all over Ju County.
Half a month later, the workshop and warehouse have been built, everyone is a little reluctant, these days only fifty strong people have been left to open the mine, as for burning cement, this kind of secret thing of course the Wang family can not be handed over to outsiders, but let the old housekeeper find a lot of people from the family, such people can rest assured, the next thing is to wait for Su Bai to teach them how to burn cement.
