Chapter 221: The Blockade Problem
"Alas...... If there is no relative in the family who is a regular employee in the industrial park, they will not even be able to enter the selection, and I have heard that many factory employees have to give those who are responsible for recruitment five silver mar before they have the opportunity to enter.
Boss Xia Lin is good at everything, but he doesn't care much about us who are not in the industrial park! ”
A middle-aged contractor with gray hair sighed heavily.
"What? Employees still have to pay money to become a job?! ”
Xia Linke had never set such a rule, his face was surprised, and then he realized what the problem was, and a nameless fire suddenly arose in his heart, which was obviously the person in charge of recruiting hired workers to hide what he and Wyatt had done.
Although this loophole can probably only be drilled into the hired workers, regular employees according to Xia Lin's requirements, all need to pass the cultural test of 500 commonly used words and addition and subtraction within 100, and the test results must be included in the file, there should be no problems, but this sign is quite bad.
If you have to pay the person in charge of recruitment as an employee, what is the quality of the people recruited? They will definitely think that they have paid money to come in to enjoy the treatment and benefits of workers in the industrial park, and when the time comes, the work will be so-so and deal with it, and the production of the industrial park will definitely be greatly affected.
"That's not it, we couldn't get along at the dock and could still go to work on the construction site of the industrial park, but now those gray organization people have been sentenced to hard labor by the lord, and the construction company has no shortage of workers at all, and we have no other way to live, so we can only wait here to work."
"I heard that Lao Raul and they are going to set up another organization, which will be responsible for negotiating wages with those captains and merchants, but now that there are so many contractors at the dock, there are fewer goods to be carried, and I think it is difficult to succeed."
The five contractors were babbling for the few silver mars in Xia Lin's hand, their words were full of worry, and Xia Lin's brows became more and more wrinkled.
Just now the gray organization in the new area has been disposed of, and under the real demand, the contractor workers at the wharf have spontaneously gathered again.
With the quality of these people, Xia Lin did not think that they could create any trade union organization for the welfare of the workers, and after bringing certain benefits to the workers in the early days, the members of the organization who had tasted the sweetness would soon degenerate into new gray organizations.
"These silver mars are yours, but I don't think you need to wait here at the docks.
Let me tell you the news! Previously, the City Hall carried out a road repair project in the imperial capital and the surrounding area, for which the business consortium formed four construction companies.
Although the first construction company no longer needs to recruit workers, you can try your luck at those construction companies, no matter what, the salary of being a construction worker is definitely higher than what you are carrying bags at the dock now!
For specific matters, you can go to the people of the Collin, Eugene, Brooke, and Greg Chamber of Commerce to inquire about it. ”
Xia Lin divided the five silver mars among the five people, and when he saw them happily rubbing their silver coins, he couldn't help but say a few more words.
As far as he knew, after the last alliance meeting, several large chambers of commerce had completed the formation of the second, third, fourth, and fifth four construction companies, but they had not yet fully deployed craftsmen and recruited workers.
"Thank you so much, Master Mage!"
"Thank you, Master Mage, for the reminder, we'll take a look!"
Several people looked at each other a few times, and they all seemed to be a little moved, Xia Lin thought for a while and continued:
"You'd better spread the word among the contractors, and if everyone can find a job in the construction company, the rest of the contractors can take advantage of the shortage of the labor market to better talk to the captains and merchants about wages!"
"That makes a lot of sense, Master Mage, you're such a good person! We'll do it! ”
Although I don't know why the gorgeously dressed Xia Lin cares so much about these low-level contractors, these contractors still said gratefully.
This kind of gratitude made Xia Lin feel a little guilty, after all, the predicament of the dock contractor for this period of time was inseparable from his cleaning up the gray organization in the slums.
Speaking of which, after the destruction of the gray organization, there was no responsible organization for matters such as sewer cleaning, daily delivery of drinking water, and odd jobs required by various chambers of commerce, Xia Lin only arranged the runaway women and those tortured innocent people rescued from the hands of the gray organization to the nearby factories in the industrial park, so that they could have a livelihood to survive.
Leaving the alley, the worried Xia Lin continued to walk in the direction of Longmian Palace in a carriage, and the roads along the way could already see the figure of the surveyors trained by the first construction company some time ago, thinking that it would not be long before these potholed roads in the imperial capital began to be repaired.
When he arrived at the Dragon Sleeping Palace, Xia Lin showed the token given to him by Empress Dorothea, and the carriage was briefly inspected by the conscientious palace guard knights, and found that the goods on it were some "crystal vessels" placed in wooden boxes stuffed with straw, so Xia Lin's carriage was allowed to enter.
When she came to the Sun Palace, Empress Dorothea summoned Xia Lin in the huge study of the Sun Palace, even if Xia Lin had already arrived in front of her, she was still annotating a decree book at her desk, and on both sides of her were two stacks of decree books that were nearly half a person high.
It turned out that the chief Babbitt attendant that Xia Lin was familiar with had been replaced by a tall woman with a serious expression, a pale complexion, and a temperament that looked a little like those ascetic nuns in the Templar Church, and after she led Xia Lin to the Empress, she served him a cup of green tea and stood silently behind Empress Dorothea.
"You may be seated! Viscount Xia Lin, if you don't come again, I'm almost going to have someone look for you! ”
Leaving a string of beautiful handwriting on the decree with a dipping pen, and after correcting the decree at hand, Dorothea breathed a sigh of relief, looked up and pressed her temples, leaned back on the gorgeous chair inlaid with various colored gems, and said to Xia Lin a little tiredly.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about the blockade?"
Xia Lin took a sip of green tea at the right temperature and said to Empress Dorothea.
"Yes! As you might expect, the 1st Division of the Imperial Navy, led by General Lucyppos Quent, declared its support for Fairmode, my foolish brother, and with him the rebel was Bomifia Quint, the lord of Dafa City, and the 5th and 6th Divisions in the Middle Realm. ”
Empress Dorothea nodded slightly to the chief lady-in-wait, who immediately went to the side and brought Dorothea a cup of tea.
"It doesn't matter if that's all there is to it, the most important thing is that three days ago, after I announced in the Imperial Capital Daily that the lord's tax on the area around Hurgana would be abolished, many of the knights and servants of the Middle Realm also announced their support for Fairmod, and they formed an army of about 4,000 men under the organization of Ishut Bivis, the eldest son of the Bivis family.
At present, the only ones we have confirmed that we can deploy are the 1st Guards Division, the 4th Division and the 7th Division of the Middle Realm, and once they unite, the forces in our hands can only reach a stalemate with them. ”
