Chapter 23 Expanding the manpower
Luo Ping scratched his head and said, "This is a dark thing that cannot be eaten or drunk, but my brother said it was a treasure, so it must be a treasure."
"Yes, that's right. You don't know some things, but just listen to mine. I'll recruit some workers to mine the black stone nest. You are responsible for watching and preventing wild beasts from causing trouble." Wu Song said.
Luo Ping said: "No problem, I just need to fix my tiger slap."
"Let's go, get the stones, let's go to Zhang's Blacksmith." Wu Song took Luo Ping to Zhang's Blacksmith's house. In the past few days, Zhang's Blacksmith had time to build Wu Song's Tang Modao at the construction site to repair tools in the construction site.
"Baozheng is here, please sit in there quickly." Zhang Blacksmith said.
The wind was biting outside, and the blacksmith shop was warm as spring. The two blacksmiths burned the stove vigorously, and Zhang's wife was pulling the bellows, and the coke was burning.
Wu Song smiled and said, "Today I will fight the tiger, I will discount the tiger beat you processed last time. I will take it back today and return it to the furnace and recast one."
"What, Bao Zheng went to fight the tiger today. Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise I would be blamed for my death." said Zhang Blacksmith.
Wu Song said: "It's not your fault. I didn't expect to use a weapon that was temporarily shoddy when I killed a wild boar. After my time-breaking consideration, it's not a solution for you in the blacksmith shop. We need to expand it. You are responsible for recruiting more than a dozen reliable blacksmiths. In addition to creating tools for your own use, you can also sell some hardware products to the outside."
Zhang Tiejiang said: "Hardware products are actually small profits, but the reason is that pig iron raw materials are expensive."
"Look at these stones." Wu Song handed the stones picked up from the Black Songlin to Zhang Blacksmith.
Zhang Blacksmith was shocked when he saw it and said, "This is an iron ore with a high content."
Raw materials: This blacksmith is indeed not an ordinary blacksmith, and he actually knows iron ore.
Wu Song said: "With this thing, I'm afraid there is no pig iron. I found a piece of iron ore that is more than tens of millions of kilograms, but you have to keep the secret. From tomorrow on, your blacksmith shop will make a small iron smelting furnace and recruit twenty strong men. Let's start creating some small hardware products."
Zhang Blacksmith said: "Often when an iron ore is discovered, local forces will fight for strength frantically. Baozheng must not make any noise."
Wu Song nodded: "I know this. I will expand my team tomorrow and recruit some people."
It is necessary to recruit coachmen, that is, those who drive mules, horses and carts, those who work in designated locations in the car shop, those who work in a messy and flexible manner, and those who mine stones. The most important guards are called wademen in the popular Song Dynasty.
Zhang Blacksmith is not good at recruiting personnel, and Wu Song doesn't know much, so he has to ask Uncle Wu San.
When Wu Song returned home, he gathered everyone together and called Uncle Wu San. Wu Song said, "I will go to recruit people tomorrow, and at least one hundred people are needed. The guards will be expanded to thirty people, and there are twenty other coachmen, servants, labourers, and blacksmiths. Is there any good way for everyone?"
Liu Daniu said: "There are too many people waiting for work outside the city gate every day, so it is no problem to shout a hundred people casually."
Jia Simin thought for a while and said, "No, no, the people who work at the gate of the city are all temporary workers, and they work day by day to day."
"I know how to recruit workers. Those who are rich cannot recruit, and those who are slick cannot be asked. I go to a poor place and find a larger town shop. It is no problem to recruit all employees a day. In the case of food and accommodation, the small workers are 200 mins, the coachman and the 500 mins of mates, and the blacksmith is a technical worker, and the wages are higher." Uncle Wu San said.
Wu Song said: "Okay, thank you for the reminder of Uncle San."
Kushuiji is the poorest town in Qinghe County. More than a dozen nearby villages are so poor that they scream.
Today, a horse, two carriages appeared at the entrance of the town early in the morning. A few young men moved the big pot and firewood from the carriage. It seemed that they wanted to steam steamed buns. The villagers looked at the group of people numbly. It was hard for the group of people to be so funny. They wanted to sell steamed buns here? The only steamed bun house in the town closed three months ago. The people here are too poor, the land is barren, and there is no business, so the people can only eat and wait for death.
This group of people is nothing but Wu Song, Liu Daniu, Mao Hai, Feng Huan, Liu Xiaolan, and a scholar Jia Simin.
Liu Daniu set up a big iron pot, and Liu Xiaolan set fire. Mao Hai and Feng Huan pulled half a piece of wild boar meat from the carriage. Good guy, even the bones and meat were dozens of kilograms. The meat was frozen hard and hard. The two worked together to put the meat on the case. Mao Hai took a sharp knife and first cut the meat into strips, then chopped it into small pieces with an axe. After cutting about ten kilograms of meat, a few meat bones were added to the big pot. When Mao Hai saw that the meat was almost done, he put the remaining meat back on the car.
Next, Feng Huan came on the court, took seven or eight large white radish, and used an axe to cut it into thin slices, and put it in the pot.
Two large pots, one large pot of steamed buns, and one large pot of stewed wild boar meat. After a while, the meat was fragrant and the taste was drifting far away.
Jia Simin wrote a recruitment sign with welfare and benefits, and stood there, but the people just watched from afar and no one came over.
Wu Song said: "Your trick is not effective, not many of these people can read. Big bull, it's up to you."
Liu Daniu said: "Okay, look at me."
Liu Daniu shouted in a loud voice: "Anyone who wants to find a job? The car dealer is recruiting people, coachman, servant, guard, food, accommodation and money."
Liu Daniu's throat was like throwing a bone into a piranha school, and the crowd immediately came up and surrounded it in a flash.
"Where are you doing cars here? Can you see if I can?"
"I'll go, I'll go, I'll be a top-notch junior."
"I, I, I can fight, I want to be a guard, my sword skills are good."
Dozens of people gathered together, including old and young, strong and strong. Liu Daniu said: "Everyone is standing up, don't yell, listen to me first. As long as the coachman and the servants are over 16 years old and under 35 years old, the guards are only over 16 years old and under 25 years old, and those who are not qualified should not join in the fun."
Half of those who were not in the same age left, and some hurried home to tell their family members or relatives and friends.
This recruitment is actually very simple. If there are no infectious diseases or chronic diseases, those with strong bodies can be guards and coachmen. Those with weak can only be employed.
At that time, a hungry man signed up. When he asked the guards for 500 cents a month, the benefits were very good, and he said, "I want to be a guard."
"You can't be the guard team just if you want to. Are you not afraid of hardship in training? Do you dare to fight for your life in war?" Liu Daniu asked.
