On 23 June, Alfonso's proclamators went to the slums to help recruit people for his project.

It's a much busier place now than it was when Alfonso arrived, and his plan is for a fertilizer company's manure plant to take care of the excrement treatment in the dormitory in the future.

The company had been set up two months earlier, the necessary equipment had been installed, and in order to start making money as soon as possible, the company's leaders had built more than 30 improvised public toilets near the slums, which were built very quickly because they did not need to be connected to sewers.

His Majesty wanted to renovate the appearance of Madrid, and everyone was aware of it, especially the person in charge who went to the king to pay for the repair of the toilets, and the king really gave it, which strengthened everyone's thoughts.

However, what they don't know is that although the work content is a bit dirty and afraid of destroying the image of the royal family, this company is listed in someone else's name, but it is also part of the royal family's industry.

If there are more than 30 toilets connected to the sewers, it can greatly alleviate the sanitary pressure in the slums, but now, it can only be said that it is better than nothing.

For another person, don't even want to take money from him with such a project with unknown effect.

The announcer came this time to help the forestry company hire people, and it is expected that the first batch of 6,000 people will be recruited.

Because it is manual work, the salary is okay, with a daily wage of 5 pesetas. (about £1/5)

During this time, many companies came here to recruit people, and gradually formed a somewhat standardized talent market.

Everyone is familiar with the process, and after the announcer reads it out, he goes to the next place, where the people will spread the word themselves.

Everyone talked about it, and the announcement said that tools such as saws would be prepared, and transportation subsidies would also be provided, which seemed to be okay, but the work place was far away and tired.

But what they value most is that there is a golden iris mark in the upper right corner.

This is requested by Alfon, which means that this is a project of the Bourbon royal family, and the coat of arms is too solemn and not conducive to spreading, and it is appropriate to replace it with a single irise.

The royal project is not meant to be the property of the royal family, but it must have been seen by Alfonso that this small flower representing the Duke of Anjou, his ancestor, can be used.

As long as there is this mark, it means that there will be compensation for accidental injury or death in the job, and the salary will be paid steadily and there will be no arrears.

If you perform well, you may even have the opportunity to join a state-owned enterprise or a royal enterprise.

In addition, what the king does for them, the people also see it, so the royal family projects are usually filled quickly.

This time was no exception, and in less than two days, the forestry company had recruited enough people to recruit 6,000 people.

They divided into six groups and went to the nearby forests with gentler terrain, which were said to be closer, but in fact they were hundreds of miles away, and only far away from Madrid did there be uncut woodland.

At present, the forest land in Spain is held by the royal family, the government is part, and the local nobles hold a part, of which the government holds the most and the royal family holds the least.

The forest land that is currently going to be cleared was bought by Alfonso from the government.

The government gave him a big discount, but the price was still not cheap.

If Alfonso manages the forest land properly, he will be able to sell timber year by year when the railroad is fully connected, and the cost may be paid for in 20 years.

But now he wants to cut down the land all at once, so he doesn't know when he will recover the cost.

Most of the time, the production value of the same forest agriculture is about the same, or even slightly higher, with the only drawback being that the payback period is somewhat long.

This is also the reason why there is a lot of timber in Spain, and the tree varieties in these woodlands are also ordinary.

However, it is not a simple question of profit and loss, and Alfonso is more focused on how to resettle the population, increase employment, and ensure food security in Spain.

Alfonso originally wanted to give away the land, but found that the cost was a bit too high, and he spent so much money that no other plans could be carried out in the future.

In desperation, he had no choice but to set up a royal land management committee, which would lease the land to the peasants in the future, and the peasants could only take the land for themselves after paying rent for a certain number of years.

This is the first time that they have had to travel so far to work, and many people in the slums have left Madrid, leaving behind their wives and children.

In the past, most of the husbands worked outside the home, and the wives took care of the children, and the daily income was enough for the family to live, and they couldn't save money at all.

This time, the husband doesn't know when he will come back, and even if it is a royal project, there is no salary advance, so they will have to live during this time.

Fortunately, with the return of Bourbon to Madrid, female workers are also generally accepted, and although Madrid's industrial strength is not as good as that of Barcelona, there are not many factories.

Men sometimes have to rely on luck to enter the factory, but women are more likely to find work in textile and processing factories because their wages are generally only 2/3 or even 1/2 of that of men.

A new problem has arisen, and as in Barcelona, no one cares about the children.

Alfonso noticed this phenomenon and instructed the trusteeship company on the eastern coast to open a branch and work with the education department to solve the problem.

Trusteeships are already prevalent on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, but they have not yet ventured inland, and this is an opportunity.

Alfonso does not hesitate to subsidize such projects, but it is only appropriate for the state to do the work of education.

He told Campos about it, and the other party immediately expressed his support and said that he would allocate 750,000 pounds from the government account for education in Madrid.

Alfonso was very satisfied with this, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was a bit of a waste to allocate so much money to the trusteeship, this was always a transitional plan, and it was difficult to catch up with Britain and France and other countries on this basis.

So he asked the Ministry of Education to raise an additional £1 million and use $600,000 of that money for schools in Madrid.

600,000 yuan can be used for a long time in the nursery school, and it is not enough to use it in real schools, stationery, books, school buildings, and teachers are all a lot of money.

He approached Antonio, Archbishop of Toledo (Madrid is part of the Archdiocese of Toledo), and persuaded the church to set up a church scholarship agency with a £400,000 contribution, promising that it would focus on granting church schools.

Obviously only 40% of the investment, but it accounted for all the name, and the other party still looked reluctant, Alfonso was really angry.

The church's contribution to the cause of education in Spain cannot be denied, but they are all doing it slowly, trying not to spend money, and this time the contribution of 400,000 yuan does make them a little painful.

This attitude of the church made Alfonso even more determined that Rome would teach them how to be human beings when they were done.

It is much more elegant to use all the money of the church to run a school than to rob it openly.
