Chapter 149: Topic Center
"Now I need to recruit 1,000 workers, a family of up to five people with food and lodging, free entry and exit, monthly salary of 500 Wen, if you are interested, sign up on the spot!"
On the other hand, in the face of Liang Xiao's recruitment, the displaced people on the scene rushed to sign up.
The empress issued an edict to prepare for work in lieu of relief and arrange work for them, and of course they were grateful.
But Liang Xiao, a great benevolent person, usually gives them food, and now the conditions given are close to the level of ordinary workers in the capital!
As the center of the country, the local wages are of course slightly higher than those in other places, but the average worker has only one person at most who has food and lodging, and the monthly wage is more than one tael, and the employer does not cover the food and accommodation of the workers' families at all.
"Master Hou is really thoughtful!" Bai Qin, who accompanied him, became more and more impressed by Liang Xiao.
Recently, some people have been inciting local workers in Beijing to accuse Liang Xiao of favoritism, just giving good errands to former homeless people, and the salary is still higher than that of the locals, but it is not as easy to spread as newspapers.
There were also people who encouraged the workers of the wine and sugar mills to break away from Liang Xiao, but they were scolded by Liang Xiao's workers.
In this comparison, the treatment of workers in Beijing is actually slightly higher than that of displaced people.
Through newspaper propaganda, it was also known that the first workers were paid a little better than the local workers at the expense of their personal freedom.
Moreover, his lord decided to work for relief, but there was still a little trouble in arranging the work of more than 2,000 households, and Liang Xiao recruited workers today and helped her again.
Today, Liang Xiao not only recruited workers for himself, won the favor of these new workers, but also appeased the unbalanced local workers in his heart, and reduced a little pressure on the imperial court, killing three birds with one stone!
"It's just that I chose to do this kind of thing today when the exchange meeting began...... It's you, Lord Hou! β
"Lao Bai, in fact, I specially picked the day when today's exchange meeting began." Liang Xiao said meaningfully.
Bai Qin looked dazed: "There are actually deeper considerations?" β
Liang Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'll leave it to you here, I'll go back and take a look!" β
At the exchange meeting, everyone exchanged heads and talked about Liang Xiao endlessly.
"I'm right, he's not here, it's inevitable that this will be half inferior, and I wish I could see him at this time." Xing Feng smiled helplessly.
Li Xinwen on the side, looking at Xing Feng's eyes became more and more strange, and even after thinking about returning to China, should he remind his girlfriend to pay attention.
Her princess best friend is infatuated with Xing Feng.
Her righteous sisters, were they still abandoned by Liang Xiao?
"Could it be that the fetish of broken sleeves is attracted to each other, oh my God......"
Xing Hai couldn't help but ask: "Master Hou, is it not for him, is this exchange meeting meaningless?" β
"Sure enough, even his cronies began to be suspicious...... Li Xinwen squinted slightly, and his heart began to be fragmented.
Xing Feng sighed: "Of course not, it's just that if some words are said by him, this exchange meeting will have real value, otherwise it will be just an impromptu dating that anyone can do." Da Zhou and Da Chu have always had no shortage of talented and beautiful people, what they lack is a backbone like him who has the world in mind and can ask for the lives of the people, I want the literati of Da Chu to understand this, but these words are just big and useless for me. β
"I see! The little marquis knew that there were some things that he should not say, so he could only take advantage of the situation of the Marquis of Lanling. β
Li Xinwen's eyes changed.
She really seems to have misunderstood.
However, why is he so sure that Liang Xiao has the world in mind and asks for his life for the people?
Just because he treats the homeless well?
Thinking that Liang Xiao and Xing Feng were not the kind of relationship she thought, Li Xinwen was ashamed in her heart, and suddenly had a trace of regret that her expectations were disappointed......
"Gongzi Xing, where is the Marquis of Lanling now? People who can write such famous stories as "Luo Shen Fu" and "Qingping Tune" are not qualified to be invited? β
The girl who took the lead in asking questions was the head of the four Yan of Da Chu Hengjiang, Ye Hongxue.
More and more talented women echoed: "We all want to meet the Marquis of Lanling~"
Tuoba Jun and the others, who were originally still in high spirits, were almost bloodshot!
This son is not at the scene, but he is still the center of the topic??
Mu Qinxue saw it in her eyes, and her heart was both happy and worried.
She still knows her one-way fiancΓ© better.
At this point, he must be on business!
It's just that he is the person Xing Feng invited......
Duanmu Yuncheng said with a smile: "Gongzi Xing, Marquis Lanling is absent from this meeting for no reason, obviously not giving you face?" Do you put it on a shelf? β
The audience's eyes were focused on Xing Feng.
Xing Feng said without thinking: "This meeting has already made it clear that as long as you abide by the etiquette law, you don't have to be too restrained, and there is no such thing as being late and absent." On the contrary, if everyone is restrained and cautious, Xing will only feel deeply guilty. β
Xing Feng's decent response made Duanmu Yuncheng speechless.
In the crowd, Jian Canglang sat alone at a table drinking, and Gongsun Yue leaned on the next table.
The brother and sister were also puzzled.
Xing Feng has already given Liang Xiao a lot of face.
But Liang Xiao is now famous, so many talented and beautiful people come here, and it is really inappropriate to be absent.
Soon, Gongsun Yue's eyes were attracted by Mu Qinxue in the corner.
Mu Qinxue felt something, and also turned her head and looked at her.
They had just noticed each other, but they hadn't made contact.
"This Mu Qinxue, hindering me from tempting Liang Xiao?"
"This Gongsun Yue, the man who dares to rob the old lady?"
When the two strange women made eye contact, sparks of hatred burst out inexplicably.
It's just a glance, full of hostility and a sense of crisis.
This woman is not easy to deal with......
This is what they say about each other.
Duanmu Yuncheng glanced at Xing Feng resentfully, and said no more.
He could see that this Xing Feng seemed to really have the intention to protect Liang Xiao, indicating that Tuoba Jun and their analysis was good, and Xing Feng and Liang Xiao may have secretly traded.
It's not good, Xing Feng, Duan Yunyi, and Zhuge Hui also reached some kind of consensus.
"Calm down, don't mess up because of a Liang Xiao, the people I arranged will move immediately." Tuoba Jun smiled.
Duanmu Yuncheng nodded silently.
The Duanmu family has already negotiated with these families, they took the lead in dealing with Liang Xiao, and the other families fully supported it, if they could eat Liang Xiao's human blood steamed buns in the future, the Duanmu family would account for the majority.
The only people who were really worried about Liang Xiao at the scene were Zhuge Cheng and Qin Baili who were silently staying in the corner drinking tea.
The Zhuge family style is very strict, and he also knows that Liang Xiao's absence is somewhat out of place, after all, he is still in the middle of the matter, and his official position is not low, and he can play an exemplary role.
If even Liang Xiao didn't attend this meeting......
Qin Baili and the others had the same worries.
At this moment, a sneer rang out from the scene.
"I received news just now, Liang Xiao, Marquis of Lanling, just now went to the refugee camp to recruit displaced people as workers!"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
"Liang Xiao doesn't participate in the exchange meeting, what kind of place do you go to recruit workers?"
"Liang Xiao is in the middle of the matter, how can he be so rude? How many officials are there in your big week? If you don't come to the event, is it necessary for others to come? β
Duanmu Yuncheng and the others cast admiring glances at Tuoba Jun.
The people he arranged finally began to bring the wind of public opinion, and the people on Da Chu's side helped to point to the point.
Xing Feng was about to speak, when a clear voice came from afar, detonating the scene.
"You're all looking for me? Do you want to talk about business? β
"Talking about business??"
