"Tianjin Cement Factory Sichuan Branch is recruiting workers!"
"Food and lodging are included, monthly wages are 4 taels of silver, one day off per week, ten hours of work per year, and a bonus at the end of the year. The older you are, the more you can get!"
In a street in Chengdu, the Sichuan Branch of the Tianjin Cement Factory, which had just been established, started recruiting workers with gongs and drums. As soon as the monthly payment of five taels of silver came out, it immediately attracted a large number of people to come and watch.
"Really or not, food and accommodation are included, and you still get 4 taels of silver a month?"
Some people didn't believe it on the spot. Sichuan has always been relatively poor due to transportation restrictions, and its development lags far behind other places in the Ming Dynasty. Most people are mainly engaged in farming, and they can't make much money at the end of the year.
For a few dollars, times have changed for the better.
To some extent, I have benefited from the development of capitalism and colonialism in the Ming Dynasty. If it were in the past, I might not even have enough food to eat, let alone have any money left.
The monthly payment of 4 taels of silver, including food and accommodation, is an unimaginably high income for them.
"Of course it's true!"
"Our Tianjin Cement Factory is the property of the current crown prince and the chief minister of the cabinet, Liu Jin and Liu Gong. They always say the same thing, and every spit is followed by a nail."
"I have always been very kind to my workers. The amount of the contract you sign is the same, and you will not be short of a penny."
When the recruitment supervisor heard this, he immediately replied seriously.
"It turns out that it is the property of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Chief Minister of the Cabinet!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately nodded. Many people immediately said, "I, I want to come~"
"I want to come too~"
"Take me. Although I eat a lot, I am also strong and work hard."
"Haha, what I want is something I can eat and do."
Upon hearing this, the recruitment supervisor immediately smiled and said: "Those who want to come for an interview, please line up, line up, and bring your ID badges."
"We work in the cement factory, and we do physical work, so we need to be strong and healthy. Of course, our firm will never treat you badly. The current salary is a bit low, but everyone can get a salary increase every year in the future.
Yes, everyone should work hard for the Crown Prince and Mr. Liu."
"In the future, the factory will hire people to teach everyone how to read and write. As long as you can read and write, you can be promoted to management in the future. There are plenty of opportunities. The only thing you need to remember is to be honest, do things properly and be a good person.
"
When the recruitment supervisor saw that there were so many people responding, he immediately shouted with joy.
Sichuan is about to undergo major construction, and a large amount of cement will definitely be used, so the scale of the Sichuan branch is also relatively large. According to the plan, the number of employees in the first phase of this branch will exceed 5,000, and the output will be
The cement not only needs to meet the needs of Sichuan, but also be sold to the entire southwest region.
"Dang~dang~"
"We're hiring, we're hiring!"
"Miyun Iron Works Sichuan Branch is recruiting workers!"
"It is required that graduates from high schools in new-style schools should be guaranteed food and housing, a starting salary of 5 taels of silver per month, and those with skills should be outstanding and receive preferential treatment."
"Work six days a week, have one day off, work eight hours a day, and get a bonus at the end of the year!"
The cement factory here is recruiting people, and on another street, the steel factory is also recruiting people with gongs and drums. With the gongs and drums noisy, a large number of people suddenly gather.
"Five taels of silver a month!"
"I'll come, I'll come!"
When someone heard this, they immediately raised their hands and shouted.
"Have you ever been to school?"
"No~"
"Do you know the words?"
"I don't know~"
"Go away, go away, we don't want anyone who hasn't passed the book."
"I, I went to a new-style elementary school, and I can read and do math."
"primary school?"
"Okay, I'll count you in. Go over there to fill in the information, take a physical exam, and sign the contract."
"Why do you have to be someone who went to a new school?"
"Isn't it just blacksmithing? Who wouldn't be the same? I'm very strong, why don't you recruit me?"
"Our steel factory is not a blacksmith shop. It does not mean that strong strength is enough. What we want are talents who understand smelting and workers who understand technology. Do you think our steel factory only works with hammers?"
When the recruiting supervisor heard this, he immediately laughed.
"Can the blacksmith shop give you 5 taels of silver a month?"
"It's not that easy to get money. You need to have skills and know something. And after entering the steel factory, you have to undergo training before you can work. If you haven't read a book, can't read, and can't do arithmetic, there's nothing you can do.
Adaptable.”
"You can try it at the cement factory next door. There are no requirements for hiring workers there. They only want those who are strong. Those who are strong and do more work will get more money."
"Really?"
"Then I'll go and take a look."
"Haha~"
Scenes similar to this are taking place on the streets of Chengdu. Large factories and large trading houses are also stationed in Sichuan one after another, preparing to flex their muscles here and invest in factories, trading houses, workshops, etc.
Suddenly, this matter was spread throughout Sichuan.
"Did you hear that?"
"There are many factories in Chengdu, and the commercial banks are recruiting people. The lowest monthly salary is 4 taels of silver, and they can still be maintained."
"seriously?"
"Of course it's true. My second uncle just came back from Chengdu. Now several brothers in the family are planning to go to Chengdu. If their four brothers all join the cement factory, they can make a lot of money this month.
With only 20 taels of silver, I can go home and build a beautiful big house in a few months."
"Really?"
"It must be true. Pack it up quickly. Pack it up and let's go to Chengdu together."
"Go, go, I have to go. It would be a pity to miss such a good thing. I work so hard in farming and only see a few copper coins a year. But when I go to the factory, I only get a few taels of silver a month."
"Isn't that right? Now everyone who knows the news is running to Chengdu."
"The Emperor really has nothing to say to us Sichuan people. He has invested a lot of money to build railways, and he wants to revitalize Sichuan and Southwest China. He said that he will invest heavily in building roads, bridges and railways in Sichuan."
"We also gave tax incentives, which attracted a large number of factories and trading companies to open branches in our Sichuan area. Trading companies, so we need a lot of workers."
"I see, let's go, let's go, pack up quickly, pack up and go to Chengdu."
"Yes, yes, hurry up and leave. If you are late, they will be full of people and we will have no chance."
In each village, people who heard the news rushed to tell each other, hurriedly packed their things, invited their brothers, and their friends ran to Chengdu.
The news soon spread to the poor Weijia Village.
Weijia Village has a lot of people but little land. It has always been a famous bachelor's village in eight villages. This is because only daughters have been married off in Weijia Village, and few daughters-in-law have been married.
There is no way around it. We are really poor here. Every household has only a little bit of land, and the food they grow is not enough to eat. It is even harder to find a wife.
"Good news, good news!"
“Chengdu is recruiting a lot of workers, it’s recruiting a lot of workers!”
"Everyone has a few taels of silver a month. Everyone, hurry up and pack your things and come with me to work in Chengdu."
Wei Tie hurriedly walked home while shouting in the village.
He had just gone to the county town and heard that there were many factories and firms in Chengdu recruiting people. He immediately felt that an opportunity had come, so he rushed home without stopping, preparing to call his brothers at home to go to Chengdu with him.
"Tie Zi, is it real or fake?"
Someone asked in disbelief.
"Of course it's true. I heard it in the county seat. Now the news has spread, and many people are heading to Chengdu."
"If you don't believe me, you can go and ask around. But after you find out clearly, it will probably be difficult to find a job by then."
Wei Tie left a few words and hurriedly came home. Looking at his brother Wei Huo who was still weaving bamboo baskets, he said: "Brother, let's go, let's pack our things quickly and go to Chengdu with me."
“Why are you going to Chengdu?”
Wei Huo asked very doubtfully.
"Of course we are going to make money. There are many factories and commercial banks here in Chengdu now. They are recruiting workers. There are many people in need. Let's go quickly. I heard that the wages of workers are only a few taels of silver a month. They can still keep it."
"I'll call the second brother and the fourth brother. You hurry up and pack your things. We brothers will go to Chengdu together."
"We will work hard here in Chengdu for a year or two, and when the time comes to go home and build a beautiful new house, I don't believe that we will not be able to find a wife."
Wei Tie said this as he hurriedly found his second and fourth brothers.
After a while, all the brothers arrived home.
"You four brothers are all going to Chengdu?"
"This can't be a lie. It's only a few taels of silver a month, and it also includes food and accommodation. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"
"That's right, I'll just farm at home honestly. At least I won't go hungry."
"If you go to another place and are not familiar with the place, you will starve and freeze if you can't find a job."
"Yes, yes, there is no pie in the sky. How many taels of silver a month can be such a good thing? We will not see a single silver dollar until the end of the year."
"You couldn't have been deceived, where did you get the news?"
When the young people in the village heard the news, they gathered around one after another. Looking at the four brothers Wei Tie, Wei Huo, Wei Qing, and Wei Jin who were packing their things to leave, they all smiled and expressed doubts. They felt that Wei
Tie must have been deceived.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you~"
"When we brothers earn money, build new houses, and marry wives, you will know whether this is true."
"If you stay in the village and you can't get a wife, why not go out and have a try? So what if you get cheated?"
When Wei Tie heard this, he immediately ignored them and took his brothers on the road to Chengdu without hesitation.
