Recruiting soldiers has much higher requirements than workers: these servants must be strong men between the ages of 18 and 24, in good health. Moreover, these soldiers have to leave home at any time, and if they go to the battlefield, they may die in battle.
They are not as risky as workers working in a safe rear area, so Li Zhi gives them a relatively high monthly salary: three taels of silver a month, and they are also provided with three meals, including meat, like other workers.
Li Zhi asked someone to write a notice recruiting servants and soldiers, and noted the monthly salary and salary on the notice. He especially emphasized that the employer was the head of the Li family in the east of Tianjin. Nowadays, the high benefits of textile factories and soap workshops have spread around Tianjin.
The Li family in the east of the city was a golden brand, so of course Li Zhi wanted to use it.
After writing the recruitment notice, Li Zhi asked his servants to quickly post the notice to Tianjin City and nearby counties and towns, and then arranged a physical examination and interview venue outside Fanjiazhuang.
When Hua Zhang saw the recruitment notice posted next to the Hundred Household Office in Fanjiazhuang, he rushed to Jiang Chong's home immediately.
"Jiang Chong, Jiang Chong! The leader of the team is recruiting servants!"
Jiang Chong walked out wearing a suit of clothes with the least patches and the most decent clothes, and said: "I know!"
Hua Zhang took a breath and asked, "How did you know?"
Jiang Chong said: "I have been wandering around the government office these days. He just posted the notice at noon, and I saw it. I don't recognize the small characters below, but I can still recognize the big characters recruiting soldiers."
Hua Zhang nodded and said: "I heard from the literate old man Liu in the official hall that the official hired a servant this time, and he was paid three taels a month and had to take care of the meat for three meals! There is nothing better than this.
Got it!"
Jiang Chong didn't know many words and couldn't understand the details written on the notice. He was overjoyed when he heard the treatment and said calmly: "The Li family in the east of the city is recruiting people, and the treatment is not bad!" He paused for a moment.
, Jiang Chong said: "Let's go! Let's go outside the south gate to apply for servants! If we can get into the team of the captain, we will be successful, and we will have enough money to get married in a few years!"
"Walk!"
The two of them walked together and walked to the recruitment venue outside the city. They saw several large tents erected there. When the two of them got closer, they saw that there were more than a dozen tables in each tent, and there were people sitting behind those tables.
They were the stewards of the Li family in the east of the city. In addition to tables, there were also some strange utensils placed in several tents.
Although the notice had just been posted, there were already a lot of people applying. At a glance, Jiang Chong felt that there were about two to three hundred people queuing in front of each tent.
The two of them looked there for a while, and then a young man in charge of organizing came up and asked, "Are you here to apply for servants?"
Hua Zhang quickly replied: "Yes, we are here to apply for servants. How do we apply?"
The boy gave the two of them two pieces of cardboard filled with grids and said, "Take this piece of cardboard and go into the first tent to queue up for a physical examination. After you pass, let the medical examiner stamp you."
Then go to the second tent to get the seal, then the third tent to get the seal, go through all the tents in order and get the six seals, and finally go to the last tent for the interview."
Jiang Chong looked at the cardboard in his hand and murmured, "What if I fail the physical examination?"
The boy smiled and said: "Then you are unqualified and you can go home!"
Jiang Chong grinned and said nothing, so he and Hua Zhang walked toward the first tent. Entering the tent, Jiang Chong saw five strange large rulers. The rulers were all erected on a stand on the ground.
, there is a movable wooden board on it. People who apply for servants queue up in front of various rulers, and when it is their turn, they take off their shoes and stand under the wooden board, as if they are measuring their height.
It was the first time that Jiang Chong saw such a professional height measuring device. With such a device, you only need to press the wooden board to get the accurate number. It is really exquisite. Jiang Chong looked at the height ruler and felt more and more indifferent.
The team leader is unusual.
Not to mention the idea of queuing invented by the team leader, which really saves everyone's energy.
Jiang Chong and Hua Zhang followed the example of others and found a queue with fewer people. After a while, it was their turn. Jiang Chong took off his shoes and stood there, and the person measuring his height pushed down the wooden board.
On Jiang Chong's head, he sang: "1.70 meters, qualified!" Then a person next to him stamped his personal seal on the first column of Jiang Chong's cardboard.
"Let's go to the next tent!"
Jiang Chong was overjoyed and walked to the next tent with the piece of cardboard. He saw a dozen strange signs erected in that tent, each with hundreds of arrows drawn on them. Those arrows were in groups of three.
They point in different directions. The arrows on the top of the sign are large, and the arrows on the bottom are small. The smallest arrow is about the size of a thumbnail.
The applicants for the job of serving as servants stood three feet away, covered one eye with a spoon, used one eye to identify the arrow pointed by the medical examiner with a wooden stick, and then pointed the direction of the arrow with their hands. Jiang Chong found a team and lined up.
I went in, looked at it for a while, and realized that this was a physical examination item to test the eyesight.
This is the vision test of later generations. Where has Jiang Chong seen it? Jiang Chong stood in the team and secretly said that this test method is also exquisite. He can distinguish the level of vision at once and eliminate people with poor eyesight. The Li family in the east of the city
It's really amazing, I don't know where they got all these wonderful tricks.
Finally it was Jiang Chong's turn, and Jiang Chong tried his best to identify the direction of the arrows. But the medical examiner pointed further and further down, and in the end Jiang Chong couldn't recognize the arrows the size of fingernails.
Jiang Chong was afraid that he was going to be eliminated, so he was a little nervous, but he heard the medical examiner singing: "Five point three, five point two, passed!" Another medical examiner sitting aside picked up the private seal and slapped it on Jiang Chong's erection.
The second chapter was stamped on the piece of paper.
Jiang Chong was overjoyed, took the cardboard, and happily walked to the next tent.
At the third tent, Jiang Chong was tested for color blindness. At the fourth tent, the medical examiner asked Jiang Chong to take off his clothes to check for skin diseases, and at the fifth tent, he was tested for night blindness. As he walked down one tent after another, Jiang Chong
I found that there were fewer and fewer people traveling with me, and many people were eliminated from various projects. Fortunately, Jiang Chong and Hua Zhang were both in good health and had no problems, and they passed all the physical examination projects.
After walking to the last tent, the two of them saw the last item - the interview. Ten interviewers sat behind ten desks, interviewing the applicants one by one. Jiang Chong took a look and walked directly to the team officer
Li Zhi waited in the queue in front of him.
This was a great opportunity to talk to the team officer, and Jiang Chong was not ready to give up.
After waiting for half an hour, it was finally Jiang Chong's turn. Jiang Chong sat down in front of Li Zhi with some anxiety.
Li Zhi looked at Jiang Chong, sighed, and asked, "Why do you look so familiar to me? Have I seen you somewhere?"
Jiang Chong answered honestly: "I am Zhuang Bing from Fanjiazhuang. The supervisor met me when he inspected Zhuang Bing last month."
Li Zhi groaned, and then asked: "Why don't you become a soldier and apply to be my servant?"
Jiang Chong replied: "Being a soldier is poor and you can't get a monthly salary. If you don't have money, you can't get a wife. Being an adult's servant has a generous monthly salary and maybe you can use the adult's rifle. You have a future!"
Li Zhi heard what he said and asked: "You know my rifle. Then let me ask you, if you become my servant and are equipped with a rifle, and your friend asks you to show him the rifle, will you give it to him?
Give?"
Jiang Chong immediately replied: "No! The rifle is your treasure and cannot be allowed to be accessed by others!"
Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction and asked a few more questions. Jiang Chong was an insightful man, and his answers made Li Zhi very satisfied. Finally, Li Zhi said on the spot: "Okay, Jiang Chong, you have been hired this month."
You go back and make preparations. On the 15th of next month, you will bring this piece of cardboard covered with a private seal and gather at the south gate of Fanjiazhuang, waiting for dispatch!"
Li Zhi stamped his personal seal on Jiang Chong's cardboard and gave it back to Jiang Chong.
When Jiang Chong heard the words of the team officer, he felt like he was flying all of a sudden, and his whole body was filled with joy. Taking the piece of cardboard handed over by Li Zhi, Jiang Chong put it tightly into his arms and squeezed it with his hands.
, for fear that the piece of paper would fly. He left the interview tent with a smile on his face, pacing back and forth outside the tent excitedly, waiting for Hua Zhang to come with him.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Jiang Chong saw Hua Zhang running out of the tent with the same joyful expression.
"Jiang Chong, I've recruited you! Have you been recruited?"
"I have also raised money! Great, Hua Zhang, you have also raised money!"
Hua Zhang punched Jiang Chong hard on the arm and said loudly: "Great, Jiang Chong! We are going to live a good life! Let's go, let's cut two kilograms of meat and buy a jar of wine to celebrate!"
Jiang Chong was stunned and asked: "Hua Zhang, where did you get the money to buy wine and cut meat?"
Hua Zhang smiled proudly and said: "This month I helped the masons who repaired the house and made a couple of silver. Today I will spend it all!"
Jiang Chong scolded: "You are smart and know how to help the masons. Come on, I will give you a hard blow today!"
