Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 766: Difficulty Recruiting Workers in Factories

Listening to Lin Erniu's words, Pike nodded slightly, feeling that it made sense. He couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many capable people and strangers in our country, it's great!"

"Watch your wording, you are not from the Qian country!" Lin Erniu did not forget the mental blow.

Pike said sternly: "I am mentally ready."

"Then work harder, old Parker! Otherwise, be careful, I will send you to grow cotton!"

"What?"

"Master said, cotton is the destination for useless foreign garbage!"

Parker went to get the medicine. Lin Erniu turned around and looked at Jiang Xiaotian who was still in the sack. He quickly stepped forward and helped him up: "Old senior, you are suffering."

Jiang Xiaotian only felt warm in his heart, what a good young man!Fortunately, I found my way back and didn't follow that bitch Zhao Kang to cause trouble!

at this time.

Zhao Kang, who was lying on the rocking chair and yawning, suddenly sat up.

Wu Xinyi blinked in her arms: "What's wrong, husband?"

Zhao Kang: "It's nothing. It's strange. Why do I suddenly feel like I have done something sorry to others?"

Wu Xinyi snickered and said softly: "How could it be possible? Whatever your husband does is always right."

"That's right! It seems that I haven't mastered cultivating my mind yet! I actually have such thoughts."

Before doing bad things, you have to convince yourself that you are at peace with yourself!
Looking down at the beautiful girl in his arms, Zhao Kang bent his legs and picked her up: "Let's go and have the baby."

Wu Xinyi blushed upon hearing this and snuggled into Zhao Kang's arms: "How about calling some sisters."

Zhao Kang's heart trembled, and then he said: "What do those useless people ask them to do? This time, I will give my husband a warm little cotton-padded jacket, do you know?"

"Listen to your husband."

The next day.

Zhao Kang, who had rested for the day, was leisurely brewing a pot of tea when two figures walked in from the door.

He looked intently, and saw that one was charming and plump, exuding the beauty that only mature women can have, and the other was blond, blue-eyed, fair, and looked youthful and beautiful, but the pair of murder weapons did not look innocent at all.

It's Song Qingyan and Elizabeth.

"Sister Song, Elizabeth, why are you here?"

Song Qingyan smiled and said, "I have something to report to you."

Elizabeth smiled sheepishly: "I was bored at home, so I came over to see Sister Song when I met her."

"What's going on?" Zhao Kang asked with interest.

Song Qingyan: "When you went to Beijing a few days ago, the directors and directors of major factories came to me and said that the current recruitment progress is a bit slow. There are very few people from all over the country responding, and they can't recruit many workers in a day. "

"If this continues until the factory opens, there will definitely be insufficient manpower, so let me come to you to find a solution."

"It's actually something like this."

Zhao Kang sat up straight: "Where are they?"

Song Qingyan's expression was also a little serious: "Basically, every factory station can't recruit anyone. With the treatment conditions we offer, it shouldn't be like this. I think there may be something fishy in it."

"So I didn't dare to deal with it myself."

Zhao Kang nodded: "It's right to be careful. Okay, I'll go take a look later."

Several major factories are in surrounding cities not far from Yangzhou City, waiting for everyone to return.

Zhao Kang looked at the five beauties and said, "Just the two of you, go and pack up before you leave. I'll go on an on-site inspection with me later."

"Yufeng, help me clean up." Xiao Linglong approached Zhao Kang with joy: "Where are we going?"

The other three women curled their lips, but did not argue about anything.

"Go to Luoma City first to check the situation." Zhao Kang said with a smile.

Lost Horse City.

The distance to Yangzhou is only seventy miles, and it only takes a day and a half on horseback.

Yufeng couldn't ride a horse, so she could only be held in Zhao Kang's arms, while Xiao Linglong rode alone.

The three of them all changed into normal clothes, and the two women wore veils, so entering the city did not cause any disturbance.

The factory built in Lok Ma City was a brick kiln factory, and the director was Liu Jing.

Zhao Kang first went to see the construction of the factory. There were many workers under construction and the progress was pretty good. Then he came to the recruitment office and looked at the dozing recruitment staff. No one stopped on the road and frowned. He raised his eyebrows.

Should not be ah.

After asking where Liu Jing was, Zhao Kang took the two women to find him.

I saw a chubby middle-aged man staying in the yard with a sad face.

"Liu Jing!"

Liu Jing looked up, and then Daxi hurriedly ran forward: "Master! Why are you here?"

"Nonsense, if I don't come here, I'm afraid your brick factory won't even be able to open. What's going on? Have you lowered the treatment I give to my workers?"

"Hello, ladies."

Liu Jing first said hello to Xiao Linglong and Qin Yufeng, and then looked at Zhao Kang dumbfounded: "How dare I, sir, it's all according to what you said, and the three meals posted are five cents a month. "

Zhao Kangqi asked: "Then how come no one comes?"

Liu Jing: "There were a lot of people who signed up at the beginning, over 200 people, but someone came along who was having trouble with us and was secretly stumbling upon us."

"Who is it?" Zhao Kang was delighted that someone was actually making himself uncomfortable at this juncture.

Liu Jing sighed and said, "It's a group of scholars. There are quite a few of them. There are four to five hundred."

"Scholar?" Xiao Linglong was a little surprised.

Zhao Kang smiled playfully and said, "You have forgotten all about Zhou. Could it be that these guys are always evil?"

Liu Jing nodded helplessly: "It should be like this. These guys are spreading rumors that our factory is exploiting the people and asking them to go back to farming. They say that farming can still produce a harvest in a year. If they enter the factory, There is no guarantee or anything like that.”

"The people in the city were so incited by them that they didn't dare to come."

Qin Yufeng frowned and said, "You didn't take any measures to deal with it?"

"Madam, you don't know how difficult those gangsters are to deal with."

Liu Jing couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Before, I was thinking that this matter was something that the master ordered me to do, and I had to do it well. So when these guys made trouble, the officers and soldiers in the city went out and arrested them. .”

"But the next day the other bastards got together and forced us to let him go."

Xiao Linglong: "Just send out officers and soldiers to drive them away."

"If you don't want to leave, just pull up a mat and go to the prison, and then you have to carry a fucking book on your back."

"I was thinking about what my master said before, don't conflict with these poor bookish people, then just let them go."

"As a result, when they were released, those bastards went around and said that our joint officers and soldiers tortured them. What they said was true. Now the people in the city don't trust us."

"They are the old people of the Zhou Kingdom, and we people will abuse them. How can they be scholars? They are obviously hooligans!"
