Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 509

Once the fund-raising scale of Datang Overseas Exploration Investment Co., Ltd. was announced in the newspaper, it immediately set off a turbulent wave in the entire Datang.

This amount of money frightened many people, and along with the announcement of the fundraising scale, there were also various recruitment information. This time, the scope of recruitment was simply too wide, and the salary was not usually high.

The most important thing is that there are almost no specific requirements for applicants for many types of jobs. As long as you are healthy and of the right age, you can sign up. After studying at the Vocational and Technical College that the company will open in Lantian County, you can officially take up the job. During this period, the company provides board and lodging, and there is a guaranteed minimum salary of [-] yuan per month. The division of labor varies, ranging from three months to two years. The study time varies from three months to two years.

For example, a seaman’s monthly basic salary is three pennies. When he goes to sea, he still has a subsidy of tens of pennies a day. If the full amount is calculated, he can get more than four pennies, and there is also a pension guarantee of up to five hundred pennies. In case of any accident on the ship and the seafarer is buried in the sea, the family members of the seafarer will not only receive a one-time pension compensation of [-] yuan, but the company will also give a certain amount of monthly compensation to those who have old people and children at home. Additional subsidies until the old man dies and the child reaches adulthood.

Of course, the benefits are high, and the requirements are also very high. In addition to being knowledgeable about water, good at shipping, and not afraid of danger, seafarers also need to learn a lot of sailing knowledge, and the place of learning is not in the academy, but in the They are the first batch of talents recruited by the company to go directly with the ship to study at sea.

As for the others, the dock buildings, as well as various product development, sales, organizational management, etc., are different. In addition to building a vocational and technical college in Lantian County, there will also be a company headquarters building. It should be said that It is a complex of buildings with a scale that can accommodate tens of thousands of people for accommodation, meals, and offices.

The entire company is too large, and even clerks who can write and count must recruit more than 500 people at one time, even comparable to court.

This is also the final decision after Sun Xiangfu and a group of shareholders held a seven-day shareholder meeting.

Newspapers spread the information to all parts of the country. By the end of June, even the Goguryeo side had received the news. Zhang Gongjin knew that Sun Xiangfu had no choice but to collect available talents in the widest range. Therefore, the Goguryeo side , Many coastal residents, as well as some original local dignitaries, are now reduced to people who are similar to ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty. He packed them up and sent them to Sun Xiangfu.

When these people arrived in Chang'an by boat, it was already late July. They were received by the Goguryeo people who were moved here the year before, and only then did they know how good the Tang Dynasty was.

Now, the construction of the new countryside in Guanzhong has been completed. All the residents in Guanzhong, including the ethnic minority residents who have moved out, live in houses with brick and tile structures. There are not only houses, but also fields. Youtian, there is still grain at home, and the warehouses of each family have stockpiled enough grain to last for a year or two. It is said that they sold a large part of their output, and the rest of the grain, so each of their families now has Deposits ranging from a few pennies to a dozen pennies.

And those newcomers, they don't know what deposit means at all, they probably think it's money left at home!
Due to the construction of the new countryside, the houses built are relatively large, with at least three rooms. These newcomers to Goguryeo basically temporarily borrowed the homes of those Goguryeo people who moved here before. Generally speaking, there is less than one family, and the cost of food and clothing basically does not pose a financial burden on these families, so the imperial court temporarily arranged it like this.

The overseas investment company has long announced that the applicants will be fully borne by the company once they apply for the job. Moreover, they will continue to live in these families for three months, waiting for the construction to start at the end of May. The Lantian Vocational and Technical College has been initially completed, and during these three months, the Goguryeo people who understand Chinese can learn some of the living habits of the people in Guanzhong, they can go around Guanzhong, and they can even find work.

Those who do not understand Chinese should hurry up to learn Chinese, which will be of great help to their future training, otherwise, they will not be able to enter vocational technical colleges to study, but will be sent directly to some places that require physical strength. Where the labor is paid, the future income will be exhausted, that is, the lower level mentioned in the newspaper, which looks like two or so. Sun Xiangfu set this rule to use interests to drive them to accelerate their integration into Han culture.

Of course, people from Goguryeo are not the only ones who came to Guanzhong to apply for jobs. Those who read the newspapers and received the news from all over the Tang Dynasty rushed over. At the county level, many people have learned to read and write, as well as basic education in simple arithmetic in more than two years. The newspaper said that anyone who can write and count can enter a vocational technical college. Learn management knowledge, and when you come out after you finish your studies, you will be a high-paying management talent, and the salary is no worse than being an official.

Therefore, almost all the vacant houses of the 10,000+ households in Lantian have been filled up by people who came to apply for jobs one after another. This large population influx will continue for several months until the completion of the Lantian Vocational and Technical College.

On the wharf in Weinan, Song Tao, the deputy director of the No.13 workshop of the shipyard, raised his neck and stared at the gangway of a steamship coming from Yuezhou. He walked down from the boat, and finally, he saw a familiar figure.

"Little fish, this way, this way."

A [-]-year-old boy heard Song Tao's call, so he didn't bother to look at Weinan, a novel place, and ran towards him quickly. Two heavy packages swayed on his body.

This boy was Song Xiaoyu who sent Song Tao on a boat to work in Weinan more than two years ago.

"Brother Tao, there are so many people here! I can't even figure out the direction."

"Hehe, I did the same thing when I first came here. Just get used to it. Come home with me first, take a shower, and let's have a big meal. By the way, I have to buy you two decent clothes. Wear it when you apply for a job."

When it comes to clothes, Song Xiaoyu felt that his burlap robe was very different from the people here. When he was on the boat, he was a fellow villager who came here from Yuezhou together. He didn't think so, just I feel that the clothes on those boatmen are of good quality. Only when I got here did I realize that everyone’s clothes are so good.

Song Tao took one of Song Xiaoyu's burdens in his hand, hefted it, it was quite heavy, and said, "Could it be that you brought all the shipbuilding stuff I left you with? Bar!"

Song Xiaoyu nodded and said, "That's right! My father knows nothing but farming, and if he keeps it at home, it will rust."

Song Tao smiled and said, "If it rusts, it will rust! These things are not needed here at all."

Song Xiaoyu was surprised, "How could it be? Isn't this place also building ships? All these ironware should be useful!"

Hearing this, Song Tao shook his head and smiled, "These iron objects are indeed good things in our village, but here, they are not as valuable as ordinary steel materials that have not been forged! The tools used here are They are all made of high-quality steel materials. The toughness and sharpness are not comparable to the things I made before. Moreover, the specifications are large, and they are not suitable for matching tools. Do you know? In two months, our shipyard has launched a new steel structure keel, a large ship with a special steel skin covering the entire hull..."

Song Xiaoyu's first reaction was, wouldn't a ship made of steel sink in the water?

However, seeing what Song Tao said very energetically, he seemed to be very confident about the launch test in more than a month. He felt that this kind of steel ship might really be able to sail in the water!

Soon, Song Tao led him from the pier to the broad street. Then, he waved, and a person sitting on a steel car stepped towards them.

Song Tao put the package in his hand on the carriage, and put the other parcel in Song Xiaoyu's hand on the carriage, and said, "What are you doing, get in the car! Sit on the sofa."

After finishing speaking, Song Tao stepped up to the carriage, and then patted the sofa cushion beside him.

"This, is this a car?"

After stepping into the carriage with some trepidation, he sat down slowly according to Song Tao's instructions.

"Don't worry! This is a car, not a horse-drawn tricycle, but a tricycle driven by people. This is a product of a car factory. Hey, master, go to the fifth living quarter, No. 12 building. Oh no, go first Over there in the ready-made clothing market, I will do some shopping and then go to the Fifth Living Community."

"Okay, let's count five cents for you together."

"Row."

Without even thinking about it, Song Tao nodded in agreement, and the master began to step on it.

Then, watching the car move forward with ease, Song Xiaoyu said in a daze, "Brother Tao, you just spent five cents?"

"Why, it's natural to spend the money you earn! Weinan City is so big, and it takes an hour to get home by walking alone. It's fast by taking a bus. You can go to the ready-made clothing market first and then go back for a quarter of an hour at most. Home."

"But, this is five cents!"

Song Tao is preparing to popularize with Song Xiaoyu!The driver who stepped on the car in front smiled, and then said, "Hehe, the new brother is just like you. In fact, the fare of five cents is not expensive. If I step on it all day long, it will cost you nothing." Earn a hundred or so."

"Earning more than 100 yuan a day, wouldn't it be more than three pennies in a month? Brother Tao, can I also ride this car to make money here? I have strength."

"Tch, silly boy, how can you make money by stepping on a car? Do you know how much money you and I make a month now?"

Song Xiaoyu shook his head.

Song Tao gave him a two-finger.

"Twice?"

"No, it's twenty guan."

"Two, twenty strings?"

"This is the advantage of being skilled. You should have practiced carpentry skills at home in the past two years! Moreover, you are very good at water and have a talent for shipbuilding. Follow me into the shipyard, at most one or two years, and your salary will not Less than five pennies."

"That's right! Brother, only people like us who don't have any skills and are too old have to choose to work hard and step on the car. You, you should learn a few more advanced skills while you are young. Wait until At that time, like your big brother, you can earn twenty guan or more a month, so that you can eat well here, live well, and don't have to worry about anything."

Song Tao nodded, and said to the driver who was pedaling the bicycle, "Actually, you are not very old. If you go to the vocational and technical college over there in Lantian to study something, you might be able to earn more."

"Hehe, that's right. I'm only in my twenties. After a few months, Lantian County's Vocational and Technical College will start recruiting students. I'll also apply for a famous school. Maybe I can be like you, and I'll be a good student." Well-paying jobs with medical bills and pensions."

Song Tao knew from Song Xiaoyu's expression that he was about to ask about medical reimbursement and pension, so the two chatted all the way to the ready-made clothing market.
