Chapter 107: Recruitment
Lijia Village, Gaochun County, in the afternoon.
Today is another good day in autumn.
Now that the autumn harvest has just ended, the farmers are smiling happily as they look at the grain piled up in the barns.
The harvest in autumn is the result of their hard work throughout the year, and it is also a guarantee that they will be able to eat in the coming year.
The peasants, who had finished the autumn harvest, sat on the small benches at the entrance of the village in groups and chatted about gossip.
Suddenly, a young man walked slowly from the dirt road at the entrance of the village, chanting a cheerful song.
This is Hu Changan's previous sales team that was specially trained to promote soap.
Although the soap promotion has ended, Hu Changan still keeps them and gives them some silver every month.
After all, this was trained by Hu Changan's hard work, and there will be more days to use them in the future.
No, today's sales squad came in handy.
When the young man saw the villagers sitting at the entrance of the village chatting, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly trotted over with brisk steps, and greeted the villagers sweetly: "Big brother and sister, are you busy with the autumn harvest?" ”
"yes, I'm done. Today, thanks to God, the harvest is not bad. Young man, what are you? One of the ladies greeted the boy in a friendly manner.
These villagers usually don't have much entertainment, and everyone is curious to see a strange teenager coming to the village.
The young man smiled and said to the villagers, "I'm here to recruit workers in your village." Our owner recently bought a barren mountain nearby, and we are short of manpower to mine on the mountain. ”
"Our owner is the Hu family who developed soap, with strong financial resources and guaranteed reputation."
What?
Mining nearby?
Everyone was stunned.
What mines do they have here?
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, you don't know what minerals have been near the village before.
Even the oldest man in all of them shook his head in confusion.
From ancient times to the present, no one has come to dig around their village.
But they know the soap, and they also know the Hu family that produces the soap.
Now if you say that you haven't used soap at home, you will definitely be laughed at by others.
With such an easy and cheap thing, who wouldn't want to have a piece?
Even the poorest families will spend a little money on soap.
One of them said to the young man suspiciously: "We all know this Hu clan, but is it true that the mining is true?" ”
"Where are there any minerals near our village, you can't be lying to us, right?"
"Where, where, how is it possible?" The young man hurriedly waved his hand, took out a lot of copper coins from his cloth pocket, and gave everyone a penny.
"This is the lottery for recruitment, our owner is sincerely recruiting, as long as the person who hears the news, everyone will send it."
"If you don't believe it, you can find a few more people to go with, and even pull the people from the official mansion to be brave, it's okay, we are not bullied, and we are not afraid of inspection at all."
"In the past, you didn't have to do anything, you didn't even have to bring dry food, and our host had food for you to eat over there."
"As long as you work diligently, you can get two hundred copper coins a day!"
Suddenly, everyone's shameful hearts moved.
Two hundred copper coins a day, six taels of silver for a month, enough for a generous year!
While some were still skeptical, many more believed the boy's words.
After all, what they got today was a real copper plate.
Even if you are a scammer, you can't be so generous with them, right?
Even if he is really a liar, there are so many people witnessing today, and the young man is afraid that he can't run away if he wants to.
Everyone was in high spirits and clamoring to go to work.
The young man smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, today I am just here to deliver news, and if you are interested in going tomorrow, please come to the village entrance at Chenshi (seven o'clock in the morning), and the owner will send a carriage to take everyone to the mine." ”
"After the work is done, the owner will send everyone back in a horse-drawn cart."
Suddenly, everyone nodded in satisfaction.
This owner is really not bad.
You must know that in these years, even if you are serving in the conscription, you have to bring your own dry rations, and you go all the way to the designated place to serve the conscription.
And this owner even equipped everyone with a carriage back and forth, which saved a lot of money!
However, one of them also raised his own doubts: "Young man, I don't know how many people your owner recruits?" If the whole village goes, won't your boss be able to manage so many people? ”
After hearing this, the young man just smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, our owner is in a hurry to mine, and there are only too few people." ”
"Besides, Hu Fu, you also know, it's not bad for money. As long as people come, give money! ”
When the man heard this answer, he also laughed and lost his eyes.
Good guys, this is simply a big pie falling from the sky, and you can't do it to yourself if you don't pick it up.
Bidding farewell to the wave of people gathered at the entrance of the village, the young man walked briskly towards the village.
He will continue to promote to more people and help the owner attract more people.
A similar scene is still playing out in many places.
......
Early the next morning, a large number of middle-aged men gathered at the gate of Lijia Village.
Everyone stretched their necks and waited for the arrival of yesterday's boy.
As soon as the hour arrived, the young man really took the carriage and came to Lijia Village as promised.
The boy jumped down from the carriage and said to the crowd, "Anyone who wants to go to the mines, please get on the cart, and the cart will take you to the mines." ”
Suddenly, everyone lined up and got into the car.
This carriage is a special factory car made by Hu Changan.
Unlike luxury carriages in the general sense, this carriage is more like a modern tricycle.
The spacious semi-open-air back seat is more than enough for a dozen people to squat inside.
It was the first time for these villagers to sit in such a novel carriage, and they were all very curious, touching here and there, and their hands couldn't stop.
The boy didn't care about these small details.
Seeing that everyone was all in order, the young man sat down in front of him and set up the carriage.
The carriage kicked up smoke and dust all the way and galloped towards Hu Changan's mine.
......
Came to the mine, where there were already a lot of people mining.
Yesterday, Hu Changan discovered an open-pit coal mine, although the location is somewhat remote, but the surrounding roads are still relatively flat.
These workers worked hard for an afternoon to clear a broad road leading to the open-pit coal mine.
The boy led the villagers around the mountains and finally came to this open-pit coal mine.
Everyone was very excited to see this scene of work in full swing.
I didn't expect that there were really mines hidden in this mountain!
If they also work hard, wouldn't they really be able to earn a lot of money?
Everyone is eager to get to work right away.
