"What is this?" Boatman Zhou Daniu took a piece of paper handed by the little official and asked casually.

"Dawan Railway Depot Recruiting Guys." The little official replied: "Brother Zhou, when you are troublesome to go back to Wu, by the way, you will publicize it around." ”

"Grand Bay Railway Station? What is it? Big Bay Village? I think I've heard of trains. ”

"Brother Zhou didn't pay attention to the newspaper? Dawei Longwang newspaper recently reported that Qingping County and Mingfeng County have tried to run the train, we haven't seen what the train is, but it must be a good thing, the Dragon King wants to get more of this train out, so he is preparing to build a factory in Dawan Village, well, the factory is a workshop, but it is bigger than the workshop, so it has to recruit a lot of guys. ”

"How much is a lot?"

The little official said in a low voice: "According to Master Li, it seems that 100,000 is not enough. ”

"One hundred thousand?" Zhou Daniu's eyes widened: "Want to recruit 100,000 guys?" Such a large workshop? ”

"That's right, so there is a great shortage of people, Brother Zhou can help."

"I must have helped with this favor, the Dragon King exterminated the Dongjiang water bandits, and the merchants in Xunwu County don't have to worry when they pass by Guitou Mountain, the Dragon King is merciful, we also know the grace, rest assured, when I return to Xunwu, I will definitely help you publicize more."

"Okay, thank you so much." After the little official finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, he had to send a few more recruitment notices.

Zhou Daniu stopped him: "Wait a while, don't leave yet, anyone can do this train yard guy, right?" ”

"What, Brother Zhou also wants to do it?"

"It's not me, I've been a boatman all my life, and I don't want to do anything else, just help the people in the village ask."

"Brother Zhou, that's right, this train factory doesn't have any requirements for guys, as long as they can work, and they also accept female guys."

"Is it okay to be a woman?"

"Yes, you also know that our Dragon King also treats all his people equally, and he is very merciful."

"Yes, yes, I know that, the Dragon King is merciful." Zhou Daniu hurriedly nodded: "Then don't worry, I will definitely help you promote when I go back, in addition, maybe I will bring a few people over, but you said it, you will definitely accept it, right?" If you don't accept it then, then I'll look for you. ”

"Don't worry, if you don't accept it, Brother Zhou, you can scold me casually, okay?"

"Okay, then it's settled."

Zhou Daniu put the recruitment revelation in his pocket, thinking that after he went back, he would let his mother-in-law also come to be a train factory worker, and he could also supplement his family.

The same scene not only happened to Zhou Daniu, all the merchants, boatmen, guys and the like in Xunwu County will be sent a few recruitment revelations by the officials, so that they can help publicize that the Dawan Village Railway Factory wants to recruit workers, as long as they can work, they will receive as much as they want, and there is no limit to men and women.

Of course, not only the people of Xunwu County, but Gongsun Xun also received an official letter from Li Quan and asked him to help publicize it.

When he received Li Quan's official letter, Gongsun Xun was very painful, and dared to feel that this dragon king really regarded Xunwu County as his rule? His Gongsun Xun is an official of the imperial court, and he is not an official of your dragon king, why should he listen to you, you say let me publicize it, I will publicize it? Am I very shameless?

But no matter how slanderous Gongsun Xun is in his heart, how unwilling he is, he still has to do this matter, really, Gongsun Xun is very afraid of the Dragon King, he doesn't dare to see the Dragon King for the second time, it's not that his heart is weak, he just thinks that the Dragon King is terrible.

Of course, the Dragon King will not only count on Gongsun Xun, the channels of the Elk and Zhen families are the most important, the Dragon King told Elk Zhu and Zhen Xun, especially Zhen Xun, let all the business houses of the Zhen family run this matter with all their strength first, if there are workers who want to come, the Zhen family will give priority to transporting these people to Longchuan.

In the past few years, there has been no advertisement, and the recruitment revelation of the Dragon King is equivalent to an advertisement, which is similar to the recruitment list, but the recruitment list recruits those who read, and the recruitment revelation recruits those ordinary people, and the base of ordinary people is obviously larger, so with Xunwu County as the center, the recruitment revelation of Dawan Railway Station is in an uproar, and people in several nearby counties soon know.

In the past two years, Xunwu County and Longchuan County have a close relationship, and the two firms of Elk Zhen have sold the goods of Nanhai County to the surrounding counties through Xunwu County, and by the way, they are also promoting the name of the Dragon King, so to speak, the name of the Dragon King is not small around Xunwu County, and the impression is not bad, many people know the Dragon King, and they all know that Nanhai County is under the rule of the Dragon King, and the people live very well.

Because of this, although most people don't know what the train factory does, they are a little excited when they hear that Longchuan wants to recruit men, all of them have food and housing, and the salary is still a lot, but it is very difficult to go to Longchuan by themselves.

It's not easy to leave your hometown this year, bandits are rampant these years, ordinary people can't even get out of the village if they're unlucky, but the channels of the two firms in Elk Zhen solve the worries of these people, as long as you want to go to Longchuan, the firms are responsible for escorting, with the ability of these two firms, the general bandits can be completely ignored.

In this way, there are no worries, and some of them leave immediately.

On the third day after the recruitment announcement was released, the first batch of Xunwu County people rushed to Longchuan by boat.

Li Quan temporarily sent people to build a simple wharf in Dawan Village, and sent several small officials to be responsible for receiving the workers who were transported.

When there are people, the work is very fast, the factory address has already been chosen, and the next step is to build a large number of buildings, as long as there are guys to come, these people will join in, food and housing are all included, only need to come to work hard.

In just about ten days, a humble factory was built.

Mo Liang and Ma Jun also came to Dawan Village with a group of ink workers, and they didn't have to be responsible for anything else, they only needed to teach some people how to make various equipment for steam engines.

When the population of Dawan Village exceeded 30,000, Li Quan immediately made a decision and paved the cement road from Dawan Village to Longchuan County again, expanding the cement road to 15 meters.

When the population of Dawan Village exceeded 50,000, the two commercial banks of Elk Zhen settled in, and the vehicles of the two commercial banks transporting goods were rushing on the cement road, supplying the huge consumption of these 50,000 people every day.

When the population of Dawan Village reached 80,000, there was no need for Li Quan to say anything, some nearby businesses spontaneously came to Dawan Village, how many business opportunities did 80,000 people have to eat and wear? Even if there are two Elk Zhen, it is impossible to eat them all.

The population is increasing, and various supporting facilities are constantly improving.

A train factory has transformed Dawan Village into the most densely populated place in the entire Nanhai County at an unimaginable speed, which can be called a miracle of this era.

In just a few months, the reputation of the Dawan Railway Depot has resounded in several nearby counties, because there are too many foreign populations here, and there are people working here in several counties in Yangzhou.
