"Twenty silver marr?!"

Roy and Adams were startled and immediately looked at each other.

They didn't really care much about what Xia Lin said about the dry stock of the factory, after all, they didn't understand what the concept of dry stock was at the moment, but the high salary of twenty silver mar ten years, that is, sixty silver mar one month, completely attracted their attention.

As a small leader, Roy managed the two streets below the copper hand, and was basically able to earn sixty or seventy copper pesas a day.

After handing over some of the above, the remaining forty or fifty copper bis were enough for them to support their respective families, but as soon as Xia Lin opened his mouth, there was a high salary of sixty silver mars, and their eyes showed an eager gaze.

"Charlin, my good brother, since you have a place for me and Addams, then just command! I'm going to talk to our boss right now, but we might have to use your name!" ”

With a real monetary promise, Roy's attitude suddenly changed, and his words were full of enthusiasm, but when he mentioned breaking away from the bronze hand, his expression was a little worried.

"Then now that you have signed the contract, let's talk about it! Wait, I'll be of use to you. ”

Xia Lin naturally didn't care about this kind of thing, he took out the pre-drawn contract, and after the two signed it, Xia Lin immediately sent Roy and Adams twenty silver mar each.

Seeing that their faces were full of excitement and apprehension with the silver coins, Xia Lin was very satisfied with his silver dollar offensive.

In this way, there are directors of the cement and paper mills, and as for the director of the brick factory, Xia Lin is ready to find Edmund, a neighbor, to be the director.

There was no problem with the sugar and salt factories being handed over to his father, the machine tool factory to his eldest brother's father-in-law, Blake Barker, the textile factory to Ellen Grieg, and the soda ash factory to Wyatt.

These were the people he knew best, and while they weren't necessarily capable of running a sizable factory, it should be fine to help him through the early days.

After the plan begins, there will always be sharp awls coming out of the pockets, and it would be good to pick someone to replace the less capable ones.

According to Xia Lin's vision, the top level of these factories is the board of directors, and Xia Lin himself is the first director, except for the textile mill that is going to be handed over to Ellen, the other factories have reached absolute control, and the other directors are naturally the people who invest in these factories.

To make paper, it is naturally impossible to only need Roy and Adams, and Xia Lin also plans to temporarily hire ten half-grown young people of the same age as himself in the neighborhood where he grew up, and the daily salary is set at 20 copper pes, I believe that many people will be willing to be hired by themselves.

After hearing Xia Lin's idea, Roy said with a grateful face:

"Xia Lin, you are so generous, I don't know what has happened recently, the price of roving in the market has risen by several copper bis, and the price of spinning has dropped a lot, so that the spinners in the city no longer hire our sisters to spin.

The family now lives on the money my father earned at the docks or by the river, and Adams and I used to receive a lot less money per day.

But 20 coppertails is too much, after all, they are all half-grown children, and I think you only need to produce 10 coppertails. ”

"There is no need to say much about the salary cut, I have the ability to pay this salary, but the price of roving has risen, and the price of spinning has fallen......"

Xia Lin's mind moved slightly, it seemed that Ellen's factory had expanded in size during this time.

The potential of Jenny's spinning machine Xia Lin is well aware, and I'm afraid that the carpenters under Eren have already made improvements to the spinning machine.

In that way, the work efficiency of hundreds of spinners using Jenny machines is equivalent to the work efficiency of tens of thousands of spinners using traditional hand spinning machines, and it is no wonder that the cotton yarn market, which has always been stable in the imperial capital, will fluctuate so drastically.

If this evolution continues, Xia Lin feels that the price of roving will rise a lot, which will definitely make many estate owners choose to switch to cotton after the harvest season, and the price of grain next year may rise as a result.

Xia Lin found that there was a lot of business opportunity in this news, but his strength was still too weak, and although he saw this, he did not have the ability to act.

Shaking his head and putting this thought aside, Xia Lin realized that maybe the market changes brought about by Jenny's spinning machine were not a bad thing for him.

The reluctance of the spinners to hire workers in the slums means that the grey organisations have half the jobs they can provide, and if they can come forward to give the poor a job opportunity at such a time, there is a high chance that they will leverage the grey organisations at the grassroots level.

While thinking about this possibility, Xia Lin and Roy and the others went to the neighborhood where he used to live, and Adams called out a few children playing in the street, and soon called out all three streets from house to house.

Although he had broken away from the Bronze Hand, the Bronze Hand had not yet sent out a new land, and these people did not know this, so Roy and Adams still had some weight in talking.

"Brothers and sisters, listen to me! I'm Roy, I'm sure everyone knows him, and this is the mage Charleen Karl who walked out of our neighborhood, and I'm sure you've heard of him.

We are not here today to take away the poor copper bis in everyone's pockets, but Lord Charlin was born and raised in this neighborhood, and although he has now lived in the city, he can't rest assured that we people are rolling in mud puddles.

He was willing to offer our children a temporary job with a daily wage of 20 copper pes, and all boys over the age of fifteen could sign up! We're recruiting 10 people this time! ”

Roy raised his hand and shouted loudly to the crowd of women, children, and half-grown youths, and as for those who were lazy and engaged in the gray industry, Adams did not let the children call out.

"20 copper bis? Is it true? Big Brother Roy, I want to sign up! ”

A seventeen-year-old boy with a fairly tall figure and a childish face immediately raised his hand and shouted when he heard Roy's words.

"OMG! It's really worthy of the mage master, I want to sign up too! ”

"Brother Roy, can't girls be? My strength is no worse than that of a boy, count me in! If you don't have pity on me, I'll be sent to the 'big house' by my father in a few days!" ”

Everyone was excited about a job that could compare to the salary of carrying a bag at the docks, when a skinny girl desperately squeezed out of the crowd, raising her hands and waving desperately while shouting.

Charlin recognized her as Emily Sharman, and her father was a typical bastard in the slums, who did not want to go to the docks and the river to sell his strength to support his family, and always thought of some crooked ways, and Bronze Hand did not look down on people like him, so the family relied on his mother and her spinning to make ends meet.

During this time, spinners no longer employed workers in the slums, and their livelihoods were probably no longer sustainable.

"This ......"

Roy saw Emily and looked at Xia Lin with a hesitant look.

"Then count Emily! We're going to be there with a lot of stuff for a few days, so we're going to let her watch over the tools and ingredients. Ten people may be a little less, but add five. ”

Xia Lin sighed, suddenly feeling a little ashamed that he was still thinking about the benefits that the spinning machine brought to him just now.

The dust of the times is a big mountain when it falls on everyone, and he didn't have a personal experience in his previous life, but now he really understands it.

In the face of these people who lost their jobs indirectly because of themselves, Xia Lin felt that if he had the ability, he should still do his part for them.

"Xia Lin, good brother!"

Roy was silent for a moment, patted Xia Lin on the shoulder, turned his head and continued to name the juniors in the crowd that he thought were reliable, as Xia Lin's employee, he had to think about his employer, except for two or three thin children named for care, everyone else was a relatively strong young man with a physique, and Edmund was naturally among them.

Having recruited enough people, Xia Lin first divided them into three groups, each of which consisted of five people, led by Roy, Adams, and Edmund.

After completing the recruitment, Xia Lin led them to the edge of the slum to receive the various tools and materials that Wyatt had bought, and then the group pushed the cart to the other end of the slum.
