Chapter 240: Discipline
After such a brief on-site "interview", Luo Zhenxing finally got hired on the spot through an unscrupulous way of slapping horses and became a civilian in Wang Dengku's caravan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since Steward Wang and Steward Song were by his side, Luo Zhenxing had no way to ask Zhang Chao for details, so he could only follow them and continue to move forward, anyway, since he had successfully mixed in, there would definitely be an opportunity to communicate with Zhang Chao in the future, and he was not in a hurry at this time.
Following Steward Wang and Steward Song, several people came to the places where some people in Zhangjiakou City often gathered - just like Xiao Mu's later life, all the industries such as decoration in various cities like to open shops together to form a decoration street, and there are also many people here in Zhangjiakou who also have their own fixed gathering places, which is not only convenient for the owner to recruit people, but also convenient for them to find their own work.
At this time, Luo Zhenxing was even more glad that his luck was good, because he really didn't know this kind of place where people gathered, even if he could find this place, it would take a lot of effort, if he hadn't met Zhang Chao on the street by chance, maybe this opportunity would have been missed in vain.
Just one Luo Zhenxing is definitely not enough, Steward Wang and Steward Song plan to recruit some more people here, and because the price they offer is indeed relatively high - there is an income of two taels of silver a month, which is already a very high salary at that time, so the people present all signed up one by one, hoping to get this job.
Although the two stewards do not have any discipline, they still have a certain bottom line in the recruitment process, and they are all young and strong, and they seem to be in good health and work hard - after all, after all, after leaving the customs, it is not like being in the customs, if the body is not good enough, and if you really have a headache and brain fever, you often can't get medical treatment, and you may lose your life, not to mention, and more importantly, you will miss the caravan, and miss the day agreed with the customer, which is a big problem. It can be said that at this point, the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty are still quite disciplined, and the thing of "reputation" is a natural code of conduct in the eyes of every businessman, and it is also a valuable asset for their survival.
As for those who are a little older, it is not completely without opportunities, for such candidates, the two stewards are more demanding, they must have some kind of special skills, such as being able to drive a car proficiently, can speak Mongolian and the like, before they can be hired, of course, those who can speak Mongolian are generally some high-quality talents, and often can find a regular job such as a translator with a good income, and there is no need to apply for a temporary position such as a civil husband in this kind of place.
In the joy of the hired and the regret of the unsuccessful, they finally ended the recruitment and were ready to go home, at this time, the number of the group had changed from the first four to twenty.
Walking on the road, Luo Zhenxing could also hear that Steward Wang and Steward Song were still saying something like "I didn't recruit enough", "The rest are unqualified", "I don't know how the other groups of people are recruited", "I'll take a look tomorrow" and so on, and speculated in his heart that they really want to do a big business this time, otherwise they don't need to find so many people, after all, at least since the day Zhang Chao disappeared, they have been recruiting people, and it is likely that when Zhang Chao disappeared, their recruitment has been going on for a few days.
This also confirms Luo Zhenxing's previous analysis in his heart, that is, even if Wang Dengku has a lot of money, there is no way to have so many henchmen who are loyal to him, after all, the cost of henchmen is very high, and it is natural to use it in some high-tech and difficult occupations, such as accounting rooms, guards, etc., such as this kind of unskilled people, it is worthless to spend a lot of money to train a henchman.
However, Luo Zhenxing still thought of one point, that is, Wang Dengku should also know the above problem, since this "big business" is very important and needs to be kept strictly secret, then for them, the recruited people, it must be focused on prevention and strict management.
Therefore, Luo Zhenxing made up his mind in his heart, for the time being, he should not easily go to Zhang Chao to inquire and exchange information, because any of their actions may be under surveillance, and among these recruited people, there may be people who Wang Dengku and they arranged to come in to monitor them.
Soon they were taken to a mansion by the two stewards, and on the way there, they also saw all kinds of large and small bags of goods and carts, which were obviously the goods organized for this business - of course, Luo Zhenxing had no way of determining whether these were really some prohibited materials such as grain and iron tools, or ordinary goods used to hide people's ears.
Luo Zhenxing's conjecture was quickly confirmed, and after entering this mansion, the king steward said, "We haven't recruited enough manpower, and the goods to be transported are also being prepared, and we will set off in two days, and if you are hungry, someone will bring you food, and you will rest here when you are sleepy at night." In a word, no one is allowed to leave this house until they have set off! ”
As soon as Steward Wang's words fell, these newly recruited people immediately exploded, at this time most of them were quite dissatisfied with this arrangement, their thoughts were nothing more than that since it would take two days to leave, why not let us leave now, maybe they could find some temporary work to earn some extra money in these two days, at least they could go home and prepare, it was better than so many people crowded in this house.
Of course, there are still some people who don't have a place to live and don't know where to eat, and this rule is a good thing for them.
However, most of the people did not think so, after all, they were some rough men, after hearing this unreasonable demand, some of them were short-tempered and said that they would not do it, and they were going to leave forcibly, but when he walked to the gate, he came back honestly - because at this time there were many nursing homes outside the door, and it was clear that the blind man came out to look for a fight, and the people who were about to leave were frightened back.
"Once you enter this door, it's not so easy to leave." Seeing that the scene was under control, Steward Wang continued, "But you don't have to be anxious, don't make trouble here, and start working in two days, and then your wages will naturally not be less." ”
