Chapter 446: Mixed Feelings
Although in fact, it has not been a few days in total, and it has always been very easy to work carefully, but Shi Lei still feels like a long time has passed, and he is looking forward to the real construction of this tulou A little more urgent, this kind of architectural form that can be said to be his first creation, is finally going to be grandly on the stage of history, and he also has high expectations for this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He can be regarded as leaving a mark in history, especially if the ancestral hall can be preserved intact, his own history can also be passed on, which is also one of the goals pursued by Shi Lei now. Since Shi Lei has the opportunity to come to the sky of the Tang Dynasty, he must leave a trace, so as not to go through such a thing in the world.
After the final deadline of Shen Xing's design drawings was given to Shi Lei, the family could generously post the recruitment notice, and directly post it on the streets and alleys of Guangzhou City, and then say hello to those large and small dental shops here, and naturally there will be migrant workers doing these jobs to come to the door.
These Shi Lei don't care very much, anyway, they have Shen Xing and the senior contractors under him to take charge of this work, Shi Lei is more concerned about how many hidden piles that his family has rooted here.
As long as the design drawings of ordinary buildings are displayed, the migrant workers who often do this work can easily figure it out, and it is not difficult to do it. But those mechanisms are still authentic, and there must be enough people who can be trusted to complete them smoothly.
Shi Lei, who has always been accustomed to being a shopkeeper, even asked for a leave from the barracks for this purpose, and it was extremely rare to participate in such a trivial matter as recruitment, accompanied by two uncles, hunters and blacksmiths, which can definitely be regarded as a luxury lineup.
And the purpose of several of them is actually the same, to help select those real people from the crowd, they all have contact codes, but in order not to attract the attention of outsiders, adhering to the principle of being as low-key as possible, they must be scattered in the crowd, and like other ordinary workers, come to Shi Lei's side.
This also seems more natural, and there is no need to worry about attracting the attention of the enemy, let alone being exposed to the existence of these own people, who have been lurking here in Guangzhou for so many years, not just to come and work for their own family.
Before and after two days of hard work, Shi Lei and the people they needed were recruited, all of whom were professional migrant workers gathered in Guangzhou City, waiting for similar work to do. In Guangzhou, although you can't starve to death to grow food, it is not easy to live well.
Others have fled to a relatively remote place like Guangzhou for various reasons, either to escape famine or tax evasion, and there is indeed no land to allocate to them, so they can only live by work.
On the one hand, if Guangzhou wants to open up wasteland, it is really difficult for these weak outsiders.
It doesn't take too far to get out of Guangzhou City, you can encounter miasma, mosquitoes are overwhelming, swamps and crocodiles are not lacking, just such an environment, it is very difficult for these people to survive, let alone think about having their own fields through land reclamation.
On the other hand, it is also the household registration policy, which is a big problem, although Datang is the implementation of the uniform land system, but there is a premise, your field must follow your household registration, not that you will be given a hundred acres of land unconditionally.
If it weren't for the fact that Guangzhou is a port city, it would be a rare prosperity in Lingnan, and it would not be so easy for these people to find an opportunity to work.
Even so, these people have to be familiar with the locals, and someone dares to guarantee them before they can get such a job opportunity.
In ancient times, there has always been an emphasis on "people have no perseverance if they have no permanent property", so those rich people recruit workers or tenants, and they like to find those "good families".
Because these people all have heels, or have wives and children, or have permanent production such as fields, and really make mistakes in their work, don't worry about these people disappearing directly, and there will be no unhappiness for others, and you will go down if you look for someone, this unreliable situation.
After signing a labor contract with these people that is notarized by the government, these people will be completely sold to their own families for a long time to come. A large part of their own hidden piles were also personally selected into the ranks of this group of laborers by Shi Lei and a few of them.
In this way, Shi Lei also has an excuse to blatantly contact these dark piles without worrying about revealing their identities. Of course, this is not a matter of stealing chickens and dogs, even if it is really exposed, there is no big problem, it is nothing more than the loss of some hole cards and back hands. When it comes to Shi Lei's current part, it doesn't seem to have much to do with it.
Finding a passable excuse, Shi Lei brought these people together alone, some of these people even didn't know each other's existence, and they may have dealt with each other more than once in the past, but they didn't know that everyone had such a common identity.
However, they seem to be relatively calm when they meet in such a situation, and they are not too surprised, probably when they are doing this, they already have this kind of consciousness of living on more than one layer of skin.
But when Shi Lei saw these people, his heart was quite uneasy, because most of these people present were not young, they can't be said to be old men, and most of them were past their prime, only a few were good guys, which was more conspicuous in this kind of team.
Of course, Shi Lei is not disgusted that they are old and useless, on the contrary, Shi Lei is lamenting that these people are not easy, and he has silently dedicated most of his life to his family. is so old, and he is still silently guarding a secret for his family.
It can be said that they really dedicated their entire youth to their own family, and they have never really lived their own life, just because the Shi family needs them, and to play such a role, they must endure the inner torment and live a life arranged by others.
Therefore, Shi Lei was very moved and thanked them for their true loyalty. Especially when asked about those awesome guys, why there were only a few young faces, Shi Lei's heart was particularly touched.
"When I grew up, my grandfather told me that we are all members of the Shi family, so that I must remember to do my own thing and wait for the call of the Shi family at any time.
My grandfather passed away last year, and when he was dying, he specially asked me to swear that I would obey the orders of the Shi family. Now that I've finally waited, I'm aware of it, and I should be happy for me. ”
This honest man replied very simply, but when he heard Shi Lei's heart, he couldn't help but feel like crying, and the answers of several other young people were similar, this kind of "father dies and son succession" makes Shi Lei unable to hold back anymore, and secretly wiped a few tears.
"Thank you for giving so much to the Shi family. You have suffered! Shi Lei bowed deeply to the people below.
These old family members, who originally had very calm expressions, couldn't help but be a little moved. They waited incognito for so long in a distant land, and when they waited for such an affirmation and gratitude from the head of the family, it was not in vain.
It's just that there are inevitably some mixed feelings, and all kinds of flavors come to mind for a while, so many years of ups and downs really make their mood more complicated.
Shi Lei couldn't wait to start the transformation of these dark piles, although he couldn't give them a better life for the time being, or simply let them live the life they really wanted, but it was no problem to relieve their physical pain and let them have a super body that ordinary people couldn't reach, and it could be regarded as expressing their hearts.
Most of these people are not young, and it is obvious that some of them are a little inconvenient to move, and others are estimated to have a lot of problems, both large and small, not only the impact of the hot and humid weather in Guangzhou, but also the relatively difficult life in these years, the hidden diseases left behind, and at the same time, it is also indispensable to leave all kinds of pain when doing black work for their families in the early years.
No matter how you say it, it is the result of hard work for his own family, and Shi Lei must have this responsibility and obligation to help them solve these stubborn diseases. (To be continued.) )
