[28] Those who want to oppose recruitment and food

He Shicheng loyally put the bowl containing the paste on his chest, followed behind Yao Fan, and asked carefully: "The owner, if you want me to say, why do you put up a notice to recruit people, since you give a tael of moon silver and take care of food and housing, such a good thing must be broken by everyone, as long as you give an order, I can recruit thirty guys to you when I go back to the village, but I don't know what the owner wants?" Do you want to be able to read or to be able to play with guns and sticks? ”

Yao Fan smiled and said nothing.

Zhou Si, who assembled the bicycle very quickly, also followed, he was cautious, like a eunuch holding a holy decree in the troupe, holding a roll of recruitment paper written by Yao Fan in his hand, after listening to He Shicheng's words, he also hurriedly said: "Yes, there is still a tael of silver for food and accommodation, what kind of guy can't be recruited, if the owner needs it, I will also go back to the village to call people, don't say thirty people, even fifty." "Zhou Si was originally just a newly recruited guy in the Zaofan Trading Company, and he didn't have a monthly silver for food and housing, but now because he learned to ride a bicycle and followed Yao Fan, he has a salary of two taels of silver a month. According to Yao Fan's rules here, after he took the first three months' salary of six taels of silver in one go last night, he didn't sleep all night in excitement, and told himself that since he was a good master, he must work hard.

Yao Fan said: "Didn't I ask He Wannian to help me buy a piece of land?" There will be many houses to be built on this ground, and it will be necessary to recruit many people. ”

He Shicheng said suddenly: "The owner, you were looking for carpenters and masons, so why bother with food and housing, a good craftsman needs thirty or forty sons a day, what does the owner do and care about his food and accommodation." ”

Yao Fan said: "It's not just about recruiting craftsmen, I'm going to build my own engineering team, after this land is bought, there will be more places to build in the future." Besides, I may not only recruit 30 people, if there is a suitable one, I can find more. ”

Zhou is fourth young, but he is shrewd: "It's not easy to build a house, but if the owner hires workers so early, it is not cost-effective. ”

He Shicheng echoed: "Yes, yes, this matter of preparing materials has been busy for two or three years. ”

Yao Fan said: "Now that there is a great drought, I will summon more people early, so that they can have food to eat and not starve to death." ”

He Shicheng Zhou Si suddenly realized: "The heart of the Bodhisattva of the East!" ”

In fact, Yao Fan's writing of this recruitment notice is just a pretense, nothing more than a confession, which means to explain that I am looking for a partner, not to gather people to buy people's hearts and rebel. This recruitment can be written or not, but Yao Fan always feels that writing is better than not writing.

Yao Fan went to the place where the archway was erected on the street of Quanye, found an empty plaster wall on the side, and instructed He Shicheng and Zhou Sisi to paste the recruitment notice, and then asked He Shicheng and Zhou Sisi to take turns to stand in front of the notice and read it aloud.

As Yao Fan expected, a group of people gathered here after a while, including a few beggars squatting under the archway to ask for food.

But these thin, dry, stinking beggars just looked around, rubbing their bare feet on the mud, supporting each other but not speaking. The rest of the people were the same, whispering, but no one consulted Yao Fan.

Just when Yao Fan felt that this road of recruiting troops and horses was impassable and disheartened, a skinny beggar with a very tall skeleton stood up and said weakly: "Uncle, I recognize a few big characters for the small one, and I still have the strength on my body, I don't know if the uncle collects it?" I don't want to be paid, as long as my uncle takes care of my food. After thinking about it, he added weakly: "I don't eat much, the owner gives me one meal a day, just one nest." ”

Yao Fan looked at him, obviously hungry and about to die.

A short beggar on the side gently tugged at the man, and said in a weak voice: "Manatee, this must be a human tooth kidnapping, and I want to sell you to the Zhuangzi in the Kanto region as a slave, and do cattle and horse work for two or three years, and you will die of exhaustion." ”

Although the short beggar's voice was faint with a sickly atmosphere, there was no roaring noise of car motives on the street these days, and Yao Fan could hear it clearly.

"That man, my name is Yao Fan, I am the owner of the local Zaofan business, I am a real recruit, there is no fraud in it, I just want free people, not those slaves of the walking dead. The people who come to work here are all free people, and they can leave if they want, and they are definitely not embarrassed. ”

Through the open placket of the thin black man, Yao Fan could clearly count every rib under his thin skin.

The man stood there, as if he would not be able to hold on and fall down at any moment, he stared at Yao Fan with two big skeleton-like eyes, as if he was guessing the truth of his words.

I don't know if he was really hungry and uncomfortable, he wanted to find a way to live, or he was moved by Yao Fan's recruitment, this man suddenly rushed out and threw Yao Fan to the ground.

"I'm willing to be my uncle's buddy!"

Yao Fan was happy in his heart, and said that today was finally open, he ignored the stench on Li Hainiu's body, and stepped forward to help him up: "Then I want you, you go and squat by the wall, and when I have filled up thirty people, we will go together." ”

When the rest of the beggars saw that Li Hainiu did not listen to the advice, some people shook their heads and sighed on the spot, and many of them sighed in a low voice, probably thinking that Yao Fan was a personal trafficker.

Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, but no one signed up, Yao Fan couldn't recruit people standing here, Zhou Si noticed that Yao Fan was starting to be irritable, so he had the courage to come up and whisper a few words to Yao Fan.

Yao Fan listened to Zhou Si's whisper, and understood in his heart that no matter what business name or workshop in these years, recruiting people must pay attention to the innocence of the clan and origin, and most of them are introduced by fellow villagers or relatives. What's more, the conditions given by Yao Fan for this recruitment are excellent, and it stands to reason that there is no need to go to the street to recruit people, so this is clearly a lie. Although these ordinary people are uneducated, it does not mean that they have no common sense and no wisdom, where are there still people who are willing to be fooled.

Yao Fan deliberately said loudly: "Shicheng, you go back and tell the guys at home to prepare good white noodles and make me a hundred catties of steamed buns!" Then boil the millet porridge in three pots! It should be thick, and the chopsticks should not fall! Then chop the pickles for me and stir-fry them in lard, and stir them into the hot porridge to make a big oil splash! ”

After saying this, the more and more people gathered here could not help but swallow their saliva, and the beggars stirred like weeds blown by the wind.

He Shicheng shouted loudly: "Yes, the little one will do it!" ”

Yao Fan's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Actually, my guy is not so easy to be, he needs to run all over the world with the goods of the business, and he sells coolies on weekdays, and works very hard, my owner has no other ability, except to make the big guy full, plus a tael of silver a month, I really can't give more, since you fellow villagers don't look down on this hard work, you can't look down on the monthly money of just one or two silver, then I have nothing to say." ”

Yao Fan's words were retreating, and on the surface, he said that he was working hard, but in fact, he dispelled the concerns of many wait-and-seeers. The poor in these years are not afraid of hardship, as long as they can eat enough, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it.

The poor are most afraid of being deceived!

The more Yao Fan rendered the hard work, and the monthly money of one or two silver was not much, the more he touched everyone's hearts.

A lot of people thought, "Grandma's! Afraid of a bear? Only these rich and noble men will be afraid of running around and working hard, and I am a poor man and a cheap life, and I am afraid of hardship? Not to mention one or two pieces of silver, even if you don't have any silver, you can eat enough, and it's worth it. ”

So the beggars came up in the first wave of hulala, kowtowed, and said that they wanted to be partners.

Yao Fan didn't have any requirements for Li Hainiu, who was the first to sign up, it was the first step to break the ice, and it was a credit to be able to stand up, but now that he has entered the buyer's market, he has to be selective.

So Yao Fan held back the stench and chose nine younger ones among the beggars, so that, with Li Hainiu, there were ten beggars.

Some old beggars who were not selected began to regret it at this moment, and whispered to Yao Fan, wanting Yao Fan to take him away.

Yao Fan sighed secretly, and defended himself in his heart: "I'm sorry, my compatriots, I'm going to rebel, I'm too old to be needed." ”

At this time, Yao Fan's recruitment notice has spread all over the small fishing port town of Qingdaokou, and there are more and more people surrounding here, and some young people were moved to see Yao Fan's recruitment and planned to sign up, but when they saw that all the beggars had been recruited so far, they hesitated. Everyone thinks that they were born in a serious family, so how can they be in the company of beggars?

Yao Fan is so smart, how can he not see what everyone thinks, so he simply said: "Since everyone still has concerns, my recruitment today will end here, if you are still willing, just come to my Yao Fan's house on Taiping Street to sign up." ”

After that, Yao Fan and Zhou Sisi returned home with ten stinky beggars in tattered clothes, and Yao Fan led the way in front, as if he was a leader named Huazi, and as if he was a human trafficker.

When he came to the door of the house, Yao Fan ordered: "Li Hainiu, you are the first to sign up, and you have merit, I chose you to be the head of these ten people." ”

Li Hainiu whispered: "Manatee Xie Dongjia appreciates." ”

Yao Fan continued to instruct: "But you haven't taken a bath yet, it really stinks, I have a female dependent at home, and it will be troublesome to be smoked to death by you." ”

After speaking, Yao Fan took the lead in laughing and relieved the embarrassment: "You just wait at the door, I will ask the guys to send out the steamed buns and rice porridge, give you a full meal first, and take you to the bath to change your clothes after you are full." Since you came to me as a buddy, you have to dress decently so as not to embarrass me. ”

Li Hainiu was overjoyed: "We listened to the orders of the owner, and we waited under the wall at the door." ”

So Yao Fan ordered the six men in the family to set up a broken wooden table at the door, put a few benches, and asked Su Sanjie to send out the steamed buns, millet porridge, and pickles that had been prepared.
