The late Ming Dynasty in the living room

Chapter 51 The new city no longer recruits new people

Someone leaned over and tapped it lightly, and found that it was extremely strong and had a crisp sound of gold and jade...

This city wall is actually made of iron!
The onlookers all took a breath of cold air, maybe everyone in the world has gathered here, right?

After being surprised, they also felt reassured.

In such a troubled world, people like them don't have to worry about food and clothing, which is a dream in itself.

I remember when the canteen first opened, people almost burst their stomachs every day because they were so full.

After all, they are afraid that if they eat today, their good days will be over tomorrow.

They were afraid that when they got up one day, they would be surrounded by rogue bandits or extremely ferocious Jian slaves.

Or officers and soldiers. (Officers and soldiers also looted)
Now that they see such an extremely strong iron city wall, they feel really... at ease!
On the other side, Fang Yu carried A Xiu into a big house.

The house is a wooden structure with a pointed roof, painted white on the outside and covered with red plastic tiles.

The house has a large space, with wooden stairs connecting the two floors, and a small attic above.

The room is not empty. There are tables, chairs, sofas, TVs, chandeliers, and kitchen and bathroom systems...

Although the electrical appliances and everything were fake, Fang Yu still stared at them for a long time.

"Dad, I want to live in the small house above." Axiu said.

The "little house" Axiu mentioned was the attic on the top.

Because you can see a lot of scenery through the big windows there, and you can also see many "little people" below, so Axiu likes it very much.

But it was impossible for her to live there. What if she climbed to the roof from there?

Fang Yu thought to himself that he would find a lock to lock the attic later to prevent her from sneaking up.

Fang Yu pointed to the second room on the left and said, "This is your room. Uncle Liu Ji has already helped you move your things."

Axiu was still thinking about the attic. She said, "Axiu likes to live in a small house."

Fang Yu said: "This is a small house."

"This is a big house."

"This is a small house, the smallest house."

"..."

After a while, Old Man Zhao and Liu Ji came over to move things, but they were still walking around.

"What you said doesn't count. How about we let Grandpa Zhao make the decision?" Fang Yu said.

Old man Zhao looked at Axiu and then at Fang Yu. He really didn't know which way to turn, so he had to smile awkwardly and said, "Old man, my eyes have long been unable to see clearly."

After saying that, he threw the pot to someone again: "Liu Ji, you are still young. Do you think this is a big house or a small house?"

Liu Jinuonuo dared not speak.

Fang Yu and Axiu's things were few, and they were all put away in less than a while.

Teacher Pan said that some furniture should be prepared. In fact, the tables, chairs and stools here can be used, but Fang Yu felt that other things were unnecessary. (The sofa is fake and the wardrobe is also fake)
Old Man Zhao walked around the house and then came back and said cheerfully: "Sir, I see there is a short house outside. It is empty.

How about I move here too, and plant some flowers and grass for the young master, sweep the yard, etc. I will do this, old man. "

Fang Yu thought for a while and realized that Old Man Zhao should be talking about the garage.

Fang Yu said: "The space there is quite large, but the windows (exhaust windows) are too small and there is not enough lighting. Otherwise, you can find a room here."

Old man Zhao quickly shook his head, he absolutely couldn't live there.

Not only was he afraid of disturbing Fang Yu, he was also afraid of being talked about behind his back.In fact, he wanted to move to the garage not because he wanted a new house, but because the temporary camp was some distance away from here, and he just wanted to live as close to Fang as possible.

Old man Zhao had already planned it. He said: "I will ask the carpenter to open a window there and cover it with mythical animal skin (preservation film). Then it will be bright inside."

Old man Zhao has made his choice, and his sophomore and junior years are not slow either.

The second grader said with a shy face: "We brothers have agreed a long time ago that we will guard the door for the young master. The room outside facing west is where we will live from now on."

They were talking about the tool room, where a lawnmower and a barbecue grill should normally be placed, but now that it was empty, he took a fancy to it.

Liu Ji walked in from the outside in a depressed manner. He was a little slow and he didn't get the two rooms.

Fang Yu felt that Liu Ji seemed to have a "bad constitution". He was always responsible for bad things, and he was particularly easy to be hated by others.

Fang Yu saw that he was dejected and comforted him: "There are many people in the brick kiln now, and there will be extra blue bricks when the time comes, so I will build you a house first."

Liu Ji felt a little happy after hearing this.

In just a few seconds, he had even planned the foundation, right next to the house!
Fang Yu asked Old Man Zhao and the others to sit down, as they still had some important things to discuss.

To guard against bad guys, you can't just rely on the city walls outside, but you should also clean up the inside of the camp.

Now, due to the construction of many places, there are many and mixed people coming from the county and nearby villages, and no one knows what kind of people will be mixed in.

If a large number of horse bandits sneak in one day, it is not impossible.

Therefore, it is better to slow things down at the construction site than to blindly recruit workers.

Old man Zhao reported back: "Except for the three city gate soldiers and the 322 beggars in the brick kiln, there are 1154 temporary workers in the county, and they have all been registered."

At the very beginning, Fang Yu asked the workers to make a registration form. The registration information included name, age, occupation, home address...

Initially it was intended to leverage their skills, but now the registration form has other uses.

Fang Yu then ordered: "The ditches and reservoirs have been dug. We don't need so many people to build houses (education halls and schools). Road construction can be slower."

Starting tomorrow, except for those on the registration form, we will no longer recruit new people. "

"In addition, these people should be numbered and organized into groups. Each group should have a responsible group leader, who should be responsible for watching over these people."

The next day, there were two very long queues outside the city gate of Laishui New City (the gate had not yet been completed).

These are people from the county who come to work.

Unlike before, people in the county need to have a "number" to enter the Xincheng camp.

This number is the serial number on the registration form, which is fixed for each person.

The number is written on a piece of hard paper. You need to keep it on your chest when entering or leaving the new city or working there. Once it disappears, you must immediately report it to the team leader.

Although there was a lot of trouble and a lot of time wasted in queuing in and out, no one felt dissatisfied.

They were even very happy because apart from them, the new city was no longer recruiting new people.

Working in Xincheng will provide you with good food and good treatment. There is no better place to work in Laishui County than here.

After the news of the cessation of recruitment spread yesterday, I don’t know how many people beat their chests with regret.

Now, on the side of the team, there were about 50 to [-] people desperately squeezing towards the city gate entrance. They looked excited, and some people shouted towards the inside:

"I've wanted to come here for a long time. I'm delayed because of something. Please be accommodating and help me register."

"When my mother is sick, I take care of her at home. My neighbors can all testify for me!"

"You guys can recruit me again. I'm a river worker. I came back from outside..."
