Wang Yongji is such an upright person. He was good friends with the deceased Hai Rui. Although he is not as upright as Hai Rui, his personality does not tolerate an irresponsible attitude like Song Xun.

Song Xun's attitude today really made Wang Yongji angry. Aren't the refugees outside the people of the Ming Dynasty? Is it a shield to follow the court rules? In Wang Yongji's eyes, Song Xun just didn't do anything!

However, Wang Yongji had no choice but to help Song Xun. He could only go away angry, and then he could only find a way to solve the problem alone.

Xishan Huangzhuang.

After receiving the order from Zhu Changluo conveyed by Wang An, Xishan Huangzhuang quickly took action.

Under the unified command, the young people in Huangzhuang stopped what they were doing and began to follow Huangzhuang's arrangements.

Wang An asked some people to build simple houses that could survive the winter and keep out the cold. At the same time, he also arranged for some people to go to Qianmen Building to promote the recruitment of Xishan Coal Mine.

For a time, the entire Xishan Palace was bustling with activity. It was as if the Chinese New Year was celebrated in advance.

A large group of people drove the ox-carts, horse-drawn carriages and other vehicles that could be pushed or pulled from the palace and set off towards the front building in a mighty manner.

When we arrived at Qianmenlouzi, the front door of Qianmenlouzi was still in a mess. The officers of Shuntian Mansion worked hard to keep the refugees moving around.

At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Don't move around, don't wander around, the emperor has arranged for the Ministry of Revenue and Shuntian Mansion to provide money to help you. You just stay where you are, porridge is being cooked in the city now!"

Lu Boxiang, the steward of Huangzhuang who was taking the lead, heard the shouts of the servants in the building in front. Lu Boxiang sighed with emotion: "We parents are quite responsible. Now we are all making porridge. However, we cannot let them all take the credit."

, We cannot embarrass His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor. We must also take responsibility."

Then Lu Boxiang asked someone with a loud voice to stand on the top of a tall carriage and shout loudly: "Xishan Coal Mine is recruiting workers! The diggers are one hundred cents a day, including food and housing! The coal washers are one hundred cents a day, including food and housing! Hurry!

Come on, get in the car and leave, and arrange food and accommodation as soon as you get to the place."

The refugees who were waiting in line for food suddenly heard a call for help from nearby. They turned around and looked at it numbly, and then continued to line up and wait for porridge.

Seeing this situation, the people in Xishan Huangzhuang were anxious. What's going on with these people? Such high wages, including food and accommodation, but no one comes? Are they all starving?

In fact, they were really hungry. Now that they smelled the smell of the porridge, they couldn't walk and just wanted to eat a bowl of hot rice quickly. They didn't even think about other things.

Lu Boxiang looked at the unmoved refugees, and he was also surprised. "What's going on?"

The boy next to him said: "I don't know. Are they all starving?"

Lu Boxiang asked someone to come closer and shout.

Then they moved forward a little further and shouted loudly: "Xishan Coal Mine is looking for workers! Diggers get one hundred cents, including food and shelter! Coal washers get one hundred cents, including food and lodging! Get in the car and leave!"

At this time, there was a little movement in the crowd. Those who had already eaten porridge heard the call for recruitment in Xishan Coal Mine and looked up with strength. Those who had no strength sat on the grass and continued to sip the broken bowl carefully.

of hot porridge.

Wang Yongji, who was standing on the tower, also noticed Lu Boxiang and others. Wang Yongji did not hear what Lu Boxiang and others were shouting.

Wang Yongji said to the people around him: "Did you see a group of people coming over there? Who are they? What do they do? Go and ask."

Zhang Jian immediately accepted the order, "Yes, Lord Mansion."

Then Zhang Jian and a group of people hurriedly came down from the tower and walked towards Lu Boxiang.

After Zhang Jian arrived at Lu Boxiang's side, he heard the shouts of Lu Boxiang and others.

After hearing the shouts of Lu Boxiang and others, Zhang Jian couldn't believe his ears. Someone was actually recruiting workers here! And the salary was even 100 cents! Food and accommodation were included!

Zhang Jian knows the labor costs in Beijing. There are many workshops that hire workers, and the maximum cost per day is only sixty or seventy cents. Moreover, they only recruit strong and strong men to work.

Now there is actually a group of people going to the homeless pile to recruit people, and the price is 30 to 40% higher than the wages in the city! This is really incredible!

Zhang Jian arrived in front of Lu Boxiang. Zhang Jian looked at the uniform on Lu Boxiang's body. Although he could not recognize which yamen he belonged to, his temperament told Zhang Jian that he was no ordinary person.

Zhang Jian first cupped his fists and saluted, and then asked politely: "Who do you honor? Why are you recruiting people here?"

Lu Boxiang turned around and saw Zhang Jian's attire. He turned out to be a small flag official. Lu Boxiang also raised his hand and said, "I am Lu Boxiang, the third-level steward of Xishan Imperial Villa."

"Third-level steward?"

Zhang Jian was confused. What kind of official position was this? Why hadn't he heard of it before? Moreover, when he heard Lu Boxiang say that he was from Xishan Huangzhuang, Zhang Jian couldn't help but become more cautious.

In fact, these three levels of stewards are still the management system of Xishan Huangzhuang formulated by Zhu Changluo, which is now divided into five levels. According to the system, General Manager Wang An is the first-level steward of Huangzhuang, Zhang San, Li, Four Kings and Five, Wei Zhongxian are the second-level stewards, Lu Boxiang and Gui

Those like Zhang Laoer, the veteran farmer who grows vegetables in the glass greenhouse of the factory, who can take on task responsibilities are the third-level stewards, and the following are the grass-roots stewards at the fourth and fifth levels.

Lu Boxiang said: "Xishan Huangzhuang was given to His Royal Highness by the emperor. Now Huangzhuang lacks manpower to open a coal mine in Xishan, so we came here to recruit people."

Zhang Jian asked cautiously: "Is this the imperial estate of His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor?"

Lu Boxiang replied gloriously: "Yes. It is the Imperial Mansion of His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor."

Zhang Jian was not sure, so he said goodbye to Lu Boxiang with fists in his hands, and then hurried to report back to Wang Yongji.

After Wang Yongji heard Zhang Jian's report, Wang Yongji was a little hesitant. "Is it really the palace of His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor?"

Zhang Jian recalled it for a moment, and then said carefully: "Bizhi thought what he said was true."

Wang Yongji turned around and asked: "How to be sure?"

Zhang Jian said: "Because the coal mine he mentioned is recruiting people. During this period, a kind of coal called honeycomb coal has become popular in all corners of the capital. As far as I know, every small household in the capital has already used it.

Briquettes from Xishan Coal Mine.”

Wang Yongji was surprised when he heard this, "Have they all been used?"

Zhang Jian said: "I can't say that I have used it all, at least almost everyone I have seen in my humble job has used it. This briquette only costs three cents per piece, and three pieces of briquette can burn for a day. It is very useful."

Wang Yongji became more interested now, "Is it really so useful?"

Zhang Jian said: "I am using it at home and have been using it for almost a month. It is very useful."

Wang Yongji was amazed after hearing this, "I didn't expect His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor, to have such a kind deed."

Zhang Jian said: "Yes, the current heating in winter in the capital is thanks to this briquette. I just found out that the Xishan coal mine is the Xishan Imperial Village. I didn't expect that the one who benefits the people behind this would be His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor."
