Chapter 43: Recruitment

After choosing the factory site, she spent money to buy the land, starting from the side of the road, a total of 20 acres.

Because it was a wasteland, the price was relatively cheap, two taels of silver per mu, and twenty acres only cost forty taels of silver.

After the land is bought, it is time to repair the factory, but before the house can be repaired, all the wasteland must be cleaned up before the house can be repaired.

They had also observed the soil quality when they looked at the land before, and it was no problem to build a house on it, otherwise they would not have bought it even if it was suitable here.

If they want to open up the wasteland, they need manpower, and the land they buy is wide, so they need more manpower.

Therefore, she directly asked Shumo to write a recruitment notice and paste it on the county's bulletin wall, and there was more than one place to post it, and more than a dozen of them were pasted.

This time, the treatment they gave was also very good, thirty wen a day, and two meals were included.

In this poor county, thirty yuan can already buy a lot of food, which can meet the food rations of a family of four for two days before, and it is still the kind that can be full.

Moreover, they also packed two additional meals, which was already very good.

In the first two days after the notice was posted, no one had applied for the job, but I heard that many people went to look at the notice.

This time, they also arranged for a few people who knew the characters to wait under the notice, and someone came to explain the meaning of the notice to them.

There are still many of these people who know how to read and write, and she paid for them, because it is not a hard work, so it is relatively cheap, twenty dollars a day.

In addition, she also asked Shumo to find a few beggars on the street and let them go to the street to shout.

The approximate meaning is: the county order family recruits workers to open up wasteland, 30 yuan a day, including two meals, and meat to eat the next day, a total of 100 people are recruited, first come, first served.

Since the third day, people have come to their house one after another to inquire about this recruitment.

Now that the spring ploughing is over, many farmers will be looking for work everywhere, so the next hundred people will soon be recruited.

In addition to the hundred, many others came, but because they had enough men, they did not accept any more.

After seeing this happening, she asked Shumo to let out the news that they had recruited enough people and would not recruit any more, lest those people run away in vain.

However, she didn't say anything for sure, she also let Shumo say that they would make another announcement to recruit people if they needed it in the future.

After the people arrived, she personally took those people to the wasteland by the Qingyang River, and told them her requirements and what they wanted to do before leaving.

Because this matter was very important, she handed it over to Shumo.

After recruiting enough workers, they soon began to work on the wasteland.

The third day of the fifth month is the day when the wasteland is opened.

Today, she asked people to prepare twenty catties of pork, today is the first day, and she also wants them to know that she is a person who can do what she says.

As for twenty catties of pork, although it doesn't sound like much, it will already be a lot in the stir-fried dishes by then.

Although she also said that she would let them eat meat once every two days, she did not mean that all of them were meat, you must know that they were another hundred people.

Although pork is not expensive, it is a lot for a hundred people to eat enough meat, and she will not spend so much money to eat enough meat for them.

It's not that she's reluctant, the second is that the human heart is not as good as they imagined.

As the saying goes, people's hearts are the ones that cannot stand the test of time, and if those people's hearts are raised, they will not be able to get some good at that time.

Therefore, she is still the best as usual, don't do too much, it's not good to be too eye-catching.

At the same time, as long as they catch those who are lazy and lazy, they will directly let them not use it the next day when they settle their wages.

Although they had paid attention to the selection when they recruited people before, in the end, there were still some people who mixed in, and today they eliminated twelve people in one day.

As for the few people, it's very simple, just recruit again, anyway, there were many people who didn't respond to them before.

These days, she also thought a lot about what happened before about those people coming to their house to apply, but she didn't catch up, and she had another thought in her heart.

Didn't she buy a barren mountain before, which was originally used to build a vermicelli factory, but now she can't use it, so she stays there again.

And that barren mountain is useless there, maybe you can do something else after cleaning it up.

Even if they can't grow anything, it's good to build a few courtyards on it at that time, anyway, according to their current situation, they will definitely stay here for a long time.

If they build a separate courtyard there now, they will still have a place to go on vacation in the future, although it is not good, but it is better than staying at home all the time.

Moreover, now that An An is getting bigger and bigger, he can't let him play at home all the time, change the environment and change the mood, in case the mood is not good, they can also come out to breathe.

Moreover, she doesn't want An An to become a person who doesn't eat fireworks in the future, she definitely still has to teach him some things about farming.

Even if he doesn't need it later, it's good to have one more skill.

That's right, she sees farming as a skill, and it's still a difficult one, because she knows that farming is not an easy thing.

In addition, no one can guarantee that any accidents will happen in the future, in case he will make a living from farming in the future.

Therefore, it is also a good thing that he understands some things about farming in advance, so as not to be momentarily clinging to his feet and appear flustered.

As soon as the two phases were added, she thought about saying that this time, she would also clean up the barren mountain.

This time, she didn't plan to use the people who opened up the wasteland by the Qingyang River, but recruited some more people.

It's not that she doesn't want to use those people, those people are not good, it's just that she thought that there were so many people who didn't apply before.

And she also vaguely saw those who didn't apply, and those people's family conditions didn't seem to be very good.

In fact, people who can come out to work, even if the family conditions are better, but it is not much better, otherwise they will not come out to find a job now.

Therefore, she wants others to earn some money, although it may not be much more in the end, but at least it can allow the family to eat a little more, or make a new dress.
