Chapter Seventy-Two: Luxi New Town

The battle of Yungui was in full swing, and there was even a tendency to expand, and the demand for weapons and baggage on the front line was increasing, and the conditions proposed by Wang Hong were quickly passed.

The Federation's business is not as big as that of the Money Building, but the baggage team that comes to Luxi City every day to transport goods has almost never stopped, and it has even grown stronger.

As for the return of these materials, Wang Hong didn't dare to ask for all the silver, it was easy to make people blush if there were too many things, so he simply exchanged them for the cultivation resources he needed, as well as the young and strong labor that was needed everywhere at present.

With the construction of Luxi New Town, the attention of Modai County in Pugan is also increasing.

At present, it is still limited to the county-level exploration, but it is estimated that it will not be long before the county will take it seriously.

Therefore, Wang Hong had to gather a large number of people to further speed up the construction.

In fact, with the population of tens of millions in Yunzhou, it has not reached the point of shortage of young and strong at present.

It's just that the eastern front is too dangerous, and many people are reluctant to go there, and hiding in Tibet makes it difficult for the federation to recruit.

It's a different story when you go to Luxi City, although it's also a border, but Pugan hasn't invaded from there at all, so it's much safer.

These young men went to Luxi not only to get paid, but also to avoid being captured and taken to the eastern front.

Therefore, it only took more than a month for the people sent by Wang Hong to recruit more than 60,000 young and strong laborers in the western counties of Yunzhou.

Together with 20,000 Lucy people and more than 40,000 Sam slaves, more than 100,000 people worked together, with all kinds of modern building materials, the new city was initially built in just eight months.

Although many of the buildings are still in rudiment, a large number of public facilities need to be further built.

But the city walls that are more than 30 meters high and 10 meters thick on all sides can dwarf all the cities except the sixteen counties of Yunzhou and Mingcheng.

In order to speed up the construction, Wang Hong divided these workers and slaves into large and small engineering teams, and asked them to nominate trusted people to serve as contract foremen.

Then, according to the efficiency and quality of the engineering team, different wages and meals are distributed, so as to stimulate everyone to work hard.

And not to mention other rewards, the top ten engineering teams alone, each of them can get a house in the city, which makes all the young men and slaves almost crazy.

There is no concept of ghost towns in this world, and Luxi New Town is a bit remote despite its location, but the sense of security brought by the huge walls on all sides can make everyone believe in the future of the city.

A group of original countrymen, coolies, and slaves can suddenly settle down in such a huge city, and whoever is left to this matter will fight hard for it.

Therefore, in the eight months since the city was built, there was no need for Wang Hong to send someone to supervise, and whoever dared to be lazy and grind foreign workers would be hung up and pumped by the same team.

By the time Modai County in North Pugan had finished some business and really paid attention to the Yila Pass, Luxi New Town was already impregnable.

The original Luxi County soldiers, who were originally more than 1,000 people, absorbed more than 10,000 young men and women after the reduction of the fortifications and formed a new city guard.

Coupled with Wang Hong's cultivation at any cost, the combat strength of the city guards is not easy to say for the time being, but more than 10,000 heavily armed iron cans are really too bluffing to practice.

Even the county guard of Modai County, who came to investigate in person, temporarily dispelled the idea of sending troops after seeing such a lineup.

The scene lasted until the end of the year, and by this time, the works in the city were almost complete.

The vice of arrears of migrant workers' wages has not yet appeared in this world, and the engineering teams have begun to settle the last batch of wages, while waiting for Wang Hong to issue year-end rewards.

There is no work these days, and all the young men and slaves gather in groups of three or five to discuss which engineering teams can get the rewards of the city lord.

"Zhuzi, your brother heard that he joined the city guards, how much silver can he get every month now?" A worker asked a familiar person around him.

They can see the treatment of the city guards, not to mention the meat every day, the big steamed buns are eaten casually, and they were given four sets of new clothes as soon as they joined the army, which made them envious of those who were not selected.

However, the salaries of the city guards have not been announced, so there are various theories, and the workers have always been curious about how much money these elites selected from among them can get each month.

"Don't ask me, my brother won't tell me, the city lord has implemented a secrecy system in the army, and no one dares to shout outside."

The pillar said helplessly while nibbling on the steamed bun he had just received.

He was also curious about this matter, but he didn't ask it after asking several times, and in the end he was even beaten by his brother, which extinguished his curiosity.

"However, listen to my brother, those factories in the Chengnan Industrial Zone will recruit people on a large scale in the future, and the wages are not bad."

"Most of the people who were eliminated in the city guard army worked as foremen in the factories in the south of the city, and I heard that they also had twenty taels of silver a month."

As soon as Zhu Zi said this, most of the people around him were shocked.

Ordinary people in Yunzhou can earn two taels of silver a month, which is considered good.

They came to Luxi to build a city, and if they didn't count the food, they would get about five taels of silver every month, which made them overjoyed, and they worked extremely hard.

But building a city is only a temporary job, and now that the new city is almost complete, their high-paying jobs are coming to an end.

So in the past few days, many people have been thinking of a way, hoping to stay in this city to work, and the city lord is rich and generous, and he will definitely not suffer a loss by working for him.

Yes, after nearly a year, Wang Hong has given people the feeling of being a super big Kaizi in all aspects.

But his family background is too strong, as if there are mountains of gold and silver, and he can't be defeated no matter how defeated.

This indescribable contrast has led many people to have a strange confidence in him, and they are willing to follow him to "mess around" and make a fortune by the way.

"If we can enter the Chengnan factory, even if we don't have twenty taels of silver a month, we should always have five or six taels!" A worker asked, his eyes lit up.

The pillar was just about to answer, but when he saw the contractor Lao Zhang, he hurriedly walked over and said to everyone with a happy face:

"Just now, the head of the City Lord's Mansion summoned us to a meeting, and the City Lord agreed to our request to stay."

"In addition to the top 10 engineering teams who can be assigned a house, the rest of the people can also live in the dormitory of the Seongnam factory, but the premise is that they must enter the factory to work."

"Those who have not been accepted by the factory within three months must leave the new city, and the minimum wage of the factory is five taels of silver!"

As soon as the workers present heard this, they surrounded Lao Zhang with a hula and asked:

"Did the lord of the city say how many people he wants to recruit?"

"Is it difficult for the factory to recruit people, is it still a cement factory and a brick factory?"

……

Lao Zhang replied with a smile: "This batch of 50,000 people will be recruited first, and most of us should be able to stay after deducting the people who went to the city guards." ”

"There are a lot of factories, and I haven't memorized all of them, but there should be a notice posted when I go back, and you can go back and see them then."

"By the way, the lord of the castle is also planning to build a weaving factory recently, and a large number of female workers need to be recruited."

"If your sisters and mothers-in-law are skillful, they can come to work in Xincheng, and they can earn three or four taels of silver in a month."

As soon as Lao Zhang finished speaking, the young men present were excited.

The counties in the western part of Yunzhou are relatively poor, but it is not the people here who are happy and happy, but the geographical environment.

Now Wang Hong's strong financial resources and generosity have almost made the blood of all the young people in the city boil.

Just when there were people cheering everywhere in the new city, the lord of the city, who was almost omnipotent in the eyes of many people, was receiving a guy who gave him a headache. Mobile phone users please browse to see the catastrophe of the sky, a better user experience.
