Chapter 0439 Labor

Wander along the streets, stop and go. Zhezhe and his people are more and more excited, and the more they shop, the happier they become. As a woman who grew up in the grassland and was in the upper position of the barbarians, even if her status was extremely high, her vision was limited to the mountains, forests and cold lands. And now Tianjin can be called an ancient city invaded by a strong civilization, which is extremely unusual.

Zhou Qingfeng hated the narrow streets and poor sanitation of ancient cities, and he emphasized the need to improve the living environment in Fushun, and when he arrived in Tianjin, he took urban planning as a science. Although he hadn't really studied, he knew in his head what a real city should look like.

The ancient city of Tianjin is centered on the drum tower and divided into blocks by a cross axis. After half a year of demolition and construction, the central avenue of the entire cross axis was expanded. Some of the places have already been built, and some of them are still construction sites. Zhezhe went shopping and saw a large number of improvised engineering equipment transporting masonry and plaster, and a large number of foreign workers were busy building houses.

Just a pulley crane is very interesting, which can make Zhezhe stop for a long time. A large number of livestock purchased from the north provided animal power for Tianjin's construction, and various vehicles from Liaodong carried one or two tons of building materials to and fro at every turn. Although the scene may be messy, the whole city is full of life. There are people everywhere who are busy, each doing their job.

Yang Jian had never seen such a bustle, and he didn't understand how Zhou Qingfeng did the big scene in front of him. He only felt that the kid four hundred years later seemed to have cast an earth-shattering super spell, and suddenly had extremely powerful power. Countless people are working for him, countless money is gathered in his hands, and countless goods flow out of his hands.

Yang Jian frowned and stared at a wooden sign on the side of the road, on which was a job notice written in simplified Chinese. Zhezhe also leaned over to take a look and asked, "What is written on it?" ”

"Recruitment." A foreman with a loud voice shouted behind the wooden sign: "Ordinary workers who have no education can also come, with a minimum salary of one yuan and two dimes a month, including three meals and lodging." Women workers are also required to be paid equally for men and women. If you have a diploma, your salary will be doubled immediately. Pay at the beginning of the month, never in arrears. The handsome law protects and will not deceive people. The pit people were all hanged by the eunuch of Marcos. ”

Zhou Qingfeng could have relied on his sharp edge and swept the world. But he just honestly stayed in Tianjin to engage in construction, and used all his strength to lay the foundation for his rule. Just a tax issue, Xu Bing, who is in charge of administration, doesn't know how much thought has been spent. There is also the problem of labor management, which is even more complicated, and Yin Hu, who is engaged in education, is also brought in to help deal with it.

In these years, the slave culture was extremely serious, and a large number of laborers were imprisoned. In order to survive, the bottom of society has to become narrow-minded, eager for quick success, and develop all kinds of bad habits. For the sake of their own interests, the middle-level businessmen and gentry flattered the top and put pressure on the bottom. If the top management does not do anything, it will form a contradictory knot of chronic suicide.

Use violence to eradicate the original top of society and sweep the middle level of society to raise funds. Then, through large-scale investment in infrastructure construction, the labor force at the bottom will be liberated, and they will be given enough capital to develop upwards to alleviate the severe social contradictions, which is the only way that the traverser can take.

In Yang Jian's view, it is great kindness to feed and drink enough for slaves. The 'revolutionary army' not only did not ask for personal dependence, but gave back money and freedom, which was a great loss. But the lively construction site in front of him told him that this kind of 'loss' has triggered a construction frenzy. Everyone is working hard to make money.

After Gu Yuanwei took refuge in Jiannu, there was no way to turn back, Zhou Qingfeng would never let him go, and he could only go all the way to the black. He thinks that the heavens are irreversible, or he still believes that Huang Taiji is a real dragon and takes refuge in the past and recognizes him as the master, and is willing to do it.

As Gu Yuanwei's apprentice, Yang Jian became the grandson of the wild boar skin, and in fact, he was not the slave of the sons of the wild boar skin. But the master has taken refuge, and he can only regard himself as a slave in front of Huang Taiji and Zhezhe as a means of currying favor. Zhezhe asked him what this 'recruitment' was all about, and he explained a few words, but after a while he said, "This is a little wrong." ”

Yang Jian tried to think about this problem. Wild boar skins now occupy the entire eastern and western Liaoning, and the territory and population they control are dozens of times larger than in the past. The Jurchen nobles were all staking land, and Yang Jian also received a large amount of land and population. But in the case, he was asked to pay his slaves, and he felt distressed - the lives of the slaves are mine, why should I pay them?

Do you want me to disband all the minions and give them money to motivate them to work? I'm afraid that those minions will either run away immediately, or they will be snatched away by other masters in the blink of an eye, and then I will become a joke - Yang Jian found that there is no solution to this matter, what the 'revolutionary army' can do, Dajin Kingdom just can't do. It's a system problem.

"Isn't it nice to hire a worker like that?" Zhezhe saw that those workers worked diligently, and he especially wanted his own minions to do the same. She heard Huang Taiji say more than once that the Han people in Tianjin were not slaves, so she had a vague idea - it seemed that it was better to hire workers.

The 'loud voice' who was in charge of recruiting workers behind the wooden sign didn't know what Zhezhe really meant, so he shouted as a matter of course: "I don't dare to say it in other places, of course it's good to be a hired worker in Tianjin." Not only do we dare not pay less, but we also have fish and meat for three meals a day, and the rice is full. You can grow a few pounds of meat after a month. The big handsome check is too strict. ”

"Meat for the meal?" Yang Jian thought to herself, how is this possible? Where is this maintenance of hired labor, it is simply the maintenance of the master.

'Big Voice' laughed, pointed to a big wooden barrel behind him and said, "......Well, the food on the construction site is outsourced." Tianjin's fish is very cheap, so you are guaranteed to get tired of eating it. ”

Faced with the unpolluted sea, the fishing industry of the 'revolutionary army' is developing rapidly. In half a year, the fishing fleet has reached hundreds, and a large number of fish are supplied to the market every day. Due to the development of the salt drying industry, the catch can be transported over long distances after salting, and at the same time, the sales of salt are solved, and the utilization rate of the catch is expanded.

At the beginning, Zhou Qingfeng laughed and said that one day he would eat fish until he was tired of it, but now he is really tired of eating it. But for millions of people, eating fish is the best way to get high-quality protein.

The large wooden barrels on the construction site were full of grease, and there were still some scraps left in them, which were cold and no one ate them. Yang Jian glanced over and painfully found that it was a big yellow croaker stewed inside. In the past, this thing was a delicacy of the rich and noble, but now it has become an ordinary nutritious meal for the toiling masses to work and maintain their physical strength.

The gap is too big.

Thinking that the slaves under his command ate worse than pigs, Yang Jian was stunned for a long time. For the first time, a thought popped into his mind - maybe we really can't beat that kid four hundred years later. What kind of skills he has, Master and I don't know at all.

Yang Jian turned his head with difficulty and asked the 'loud voice' of the recruiter: "Why are you willing to give these coolies such a good meal?" ”

"Because fish is cheap." The 'loud voice' laughed happily, his eyes were full of teasing, and he enjoyed a strong sense of superiority. People from other places are always surprised when they come to Tianjin, and it is incredible to see anything. This makes the locals very happy and proud now.

"How can fish be cheap?" There was no such thing as fish farming, only fishing. But fishing is not an easy job. The fishing in Yang Jian's mind is all a few people who make a boat and cast nets in the river, and they are lucky enough to catch dozens of catties. If you're unlucky, you might end up empty-handed.

"You don't know, do you? Our handsome family is the reincarnation of the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. He ordered them to go into the sea to catch fish, and the fish jumped into the net by themselves. The fish in the sea are big, fat, and very numerous. We wanted to eat fish, so we went straight to the sea to catch it. "The story of this 'third prince' is circulating everywhere, and the 'big voice' deliberately said what he wanted, just waiting to see Yang Jian show an expression that he didn't dare to think.

Ke Yang Jian......

"Nonsense, nonsense!" Yang Jian was furious, "I don't know the origin of Zhou Qingfeng?" He was very embarrassed when he first came to my Daming. He's going to have to call me a ....... ”

Back then, that little kid-like guy turned out to be a commander of thousands of troops, and he was still the apprentice who was subordinate to others and even a slave. Yang Jian was angry, and his face was hideous and distorted. He finally managed to hold back his anger, and found that the 'loud voice' in front of him was glaring at him with even greater anger.

"How dare you be disrespectful to our family?" 'Loud voice' raises his hand and trembles, and he will shout loudly. There are also many people who come to Tianjin who have a grudge against the 'revolutionary army,' and the propaganda in the newspapers about 'preventing adultery and special forces' is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The common people do not want their good life to be ruined.

Seeing that this 'loud voice' was about to shout, Yang Jian immediately made a move. A golden light flew out of his cuff and pierced the other party's chest, and the 'loud voice' was immediately speechless, and he staggered to the ground. The people on the construction site saw it and hurriedly came to check. Yang Jian had regained his composure, and said indifferently: "Your brother fell down as he spoke, he should have a sudden illness, send him to the hospital quickly." ”

The 'loud voice' was twitching on the ground, and the people on the construction site did not suspect him and hurriedly sent him away. Yang Jian indifferently turned his head and confessed to Zhezhe. Zhezhe laughed and said: "It's nothing, it's just a slave who doesn't have long eyes, and if you kill it, you will kill it." ”

After killing someone, Yang Jian became calm and gloomy. Zhezhe began to stroll in front of his head, and said as he walked: "This Tianjin is so prosperous, ordinary people can easily eat together, and it is naturally easy to gather the surrounding manpower and material resources. It's a place where it's cheap to live in, it's cheap to eat, and there's a school where you can read and write without spending money, so the poor people naturally come here. ”

Most of what Zhezhe said was Huang Taiji's thoughts after reading the newspaper, and she felt it after seeing it with her own eyes, so she naturally said it.

Yang Jian also echoed with a gloomy face: "What Da Fu Jin said is extremely true, this 'revolutionary army' relies on spending money to attract people from all over the world to gather here. In fact, I can also do it, and that's how those Jin merchants came. That Liu Fucheng is also a greedy person, so as long as we are willing to spend money, many things can be done. Daikin is not short of money now, so naturally someone will do things for us. ”

Zhezhe nodded as if he didn't understand. That sounds like that's true!
