Chapter 101: Why Didn't You Say It Earlier
Early the next morning, Jia Rui went out with Wang San.
After eating outside, Wang San went to Shuiyue Temple to supervise the construction. Jia Rui went to the carpenter's shop to order the dough box, pot lid, and tray, and then went to the carpenter to order the cage drawer. Then go to the ready-to-wear shop to make a warm quilt.
After doing these things, I went to the homeless people to recruit workers.
In the future, people will be needed to make steamed buns and deliver goods, and now there are a lot of chores to do in construction, which all need people to do.
Recruit the workers back now, and save yourself the need to hire someone else to do the work. It also allows them to adapt to the environment earlier.
There were a large number of displaced people in the camp camps, some of them were disaster victims, some were landless peasants, some were fugitives who had escaped forced labor and taxes, and some were fugitive slaves.
Many people came with their families.
In order to prevent the homeless people from making trouble everywhere, the household department set up several homeless camps to provide them with the most basic food and lodging.
The homeless camp is also a labor market, and if someone wants to hire workers, they come here to recruit people.
As soon as Jia Rui arrived, many homeless people surrounded him.
"Master, I have a good character, I will do any work."
The first time we met, how did I know if you had a good character? Your self-promotion method is not right, and you don't emphasize the selling point. 、
"Master, I know how to be a bricklayer, I have skills, use me."
Boy, I've hired a bricklayer. Besides, there are few craftsmen now, and bricklayers are also considered senior technicians, which are very scarce, and the market is in short supply.
If you really had that skill, you wouldn't have to stay in the camp and wait for food relief, you would have already gone outside to make money.
Even if you really know how to do it twice, it's just a little rough work, and you may not be able to do it.
You think I'm one of those gentlemen who doesn't understand.
"I don't want a bricklayer, I want a laborer."
"I'm a laborer, how many people do you want, there are more than a dozen people in our village here, you can go together."
Nowadays, people have a heavier sense of locality, and it is easy for people in a village to get together. After a long time, it is easy to form small groups and exclude outsiders. This is not good for management.
"No, I'm going to pull the family, it's better to be both there."
"My wife and I are here, with two children, a six-year-old girl and a ten-year-old boy."
A man in his forties came up.
"Call all your family, your wife can work, and I will use it together."
"Competent, capable, she's strong. I'm going to go and get them. ”
"Master, half the eldest child, eat poor old man, he has a teenager, it's not cost-effective to use him."
Said the guy who called himself a bricklayer.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of him eating."
No matter how much he can eat, he will also eat his Lao Tzu, what does it have to do with me?
Is it really for him to eat, open a steamed bun workshop, and be afraid of a few children to eat? Lao Tzu strutted them to death.
Soon, the man came with his wife and children.
The woman's and child's clothes were patched, but they were relatively clean. From this point of view, this woman is a more diligent person.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Zhang Laocai."
How did the landlord and the old fortune become a homeless person? It's not a successful name.
"Okay, I'll have you both."
"Dare to ask what the master does? If we can't do it, don't delay the master's big business. ”
This person is good, he knows how to think about others, and from this point of view, his character will not be too bad.
"It doesn't matter if you make steamed buns, you won't be able to do it, I'll teach you when the time comes. For food and shelter, children can take it, and steamed buns can be eaten as much as you like. There is a dish for a meal, and a meat dish every few days. ”
Yes? All-you-can-eat steamed buns?
There was a lot of talk about it right away.
Now don't talk about the homeless, it's just ordinary people, it's good to be full. Steamed buns can be eaten casually, there are vegetables for a meal, and you can eat meat, it is simply the days of the gods.
"Dare to ask uncle, how to calculate the salary?"
This person is calmer and a little bit of a head, and he is not carried away by the food.
"In the first month, the man will have one or two pieces of silver, and the woman will have eight dollars of silver, and if you try it for a month, you can increase your salary."
For food and shelter, two people can earn at least more than 20 taels of silver a year. It's a great deal.
"Master, we did it."
"Okay, you go back and pack up your things, I'll recruit four more families, gather enough ten people and leave, it's not far, it's just outside the city, Shuiyue Temple."
The reason why Jia Rui is looking for one by one is because of his own calculations.
Men can do heavy work such as carrying water, chopping wood, mixing noodles, and delivering goods.
Although the women do the heavy work poorly, and it is not convenient to go out, they are fully capable of kneading steamed buns and lighting fires.
Farmers are more nostalgic for their hometowns, and when they have two dollars in their hands, they are worried about going home to build a house and buy land, thinking about their children and their mothers, and their jobs are unstable.
If the family is together, this can be effectively avoided, which is conducive to working here for a long time, and the New Year and holidays will not be delayed.
Soon enough people were recruited, five men and five women, plus eleven children, the oldest was thirteen years old, and in this era he was also half a laborer. The youngest is four years old, a little girl with a falling ponytail, innocent and lively.
Jia Rui hired an ox cart to pull the tatters of the five families and ran towards the Water Moon Temple.
When he arrived, he went to check on the craftsmen's work. Wang San arranged accommodation for each family.
Originally, when the incense of Shuiyue Temple was vigorous, it was used to entertain foreign residents and pilgrims, and there were kang and pot stoves.
Originally, there were kang seats, but later they were neglected, and the kang seats were stolen by the nearby people.
Each family has two houses, one for people and one for a kitchen.
The tableware was also newly bought yesterday, and there are dry firewood and large firewood outside, so you can take it back and burn the fire.
As for eating, they make a big pot of rice, one meal and one dish, and each family is the same. After we have done it together, we will go home and eat our own food.
If you can eat and live, you will have the appearance of life.
After settling down, Wang San began to divide the work among everyone, the men went out to clean the yard, chop wood and carry water, and the women cooked and cleaned up the house.
Although Jia Rui did not intervene, he also secretly observed Wang San.
Seeing that his arrangement was quite organized, he no longer bothered with him and let Wang San be the master.
Seeing that someone came here, Miaoyu came over.
Seeing that these people were in tatters and the luggage they brought was dirty and torn, he frowned and found Jia Rui.
"Where did you get these people from? It's just a rice flower? ”
"Where is Hanako, recruited from the homeless camp."
"Exiles? What's the difference with asking for rice flowers? Look at their clothes and luggage, what they look like. ”
"I said, Miss, if they were as rich as you, would they still be able to come here? Don't you also drink tea with a kiln cup all day long, while pouring slowly and slowly, while chanting poetry and painting? ”
"Hmph, you're always justified."
"If you don't like it, I have a solution."
"What's the solution?"
"Isn't there a lot of bedding in your monastery that you don't need to use? If you leave it for a long time, insects bite you, rats swallow, and it won't take a few years to rot. Why don't you take it out and give it to them, which not only avoids decay and dilapidation, but also saves people from fire and water, and makes merit. ”
"And the clothes, shoes, and socks donated by the donors, and you don't wear them in a pile. I, the Buddha, have compassion, why not fulfill them? ”
"Yes, I'll take them with me, why didn't you say it earlier?"
Why do you blame me again, is it too late to say now?
