Chapter 102 Arrest

In addition to the direct causes of war, social unrest generally depends on social saturation. In cities like Shangjing, where industry and commerce are not prosperous, too large a population cannot be converted into corresponding productivity. On the contrary, social instability will also be caused by excessive unemployment.

The reason why Jiaguwuchu in Nancheng can develop into a local snake-like existence and remain standing is a big factor because there are too many unemployed people gathered in Nancheng. Therefore, to eliminate such local snakes, in addition to directly destroying them, the root cause of the unrest needs to be solved.

It just so happened that Ulutus also wanted to clean up the capital. This way of recruiting workers can not only solve the unemployment problem in the city, but also move the population away in the form of outsourcing, and will not cause public opinion backlash. It is simply the best.

After the current man was recruited into the construction workshop for two yuan of Mongolian silver dollars per month, he immediately gave a one-yuan settlement fee, saying that the Mongolian king understood their difficulties and first gave one yuan settlement fee to fill his stomach. The remaining one yuan will be distributed to them after officially joining the construction workshop.

Next to the construction workshop is a store that specializes in rice, oil and salt that was temporarily built by HSBC and Huitong Trading Company. There are also common household items such as iron pots, needles, threads, etc. Even wool balls/sweaters, canned fruits and canned vegetables are also sold.

This man was named Wang Tieniu, and his family was so poor that he couldn't make it. He immediately bought twelve kilograms of wheat after taking one yuan to settle the house. Because it was a special sales point for the poor in the recruitment department, the price of grain here was 20% cheaper than the market price outside. One cent could buy two kilograms of wheat.

I bought three yarn balls/two liang of fine salt produced by the Ulutus department for the remaining four corners, and two canned vegetables.

The yarn ball is the most cost-effective! It costs three cents and also gives away knitting needles and drawings for knitting clothes. Wang Tieniu knew his craftsmanship, but unfortunately, his family was poor and even had to borrow a loom from others, so he couldn't knit anything for his family.

Now there are wooden needles that do not require a loom at all, and I believe that my wife can use her skills well again.

The price of salt is relatively expensive, requiring one cent to one tael. But for Wang Tieniu, this is still much more cost-effective than the coarse salt that is sold by the black-hearted merchants outside, and the sand-filled coarse salt. As for canned vegetables, he went home to try it for the two dolls.

Before, he saw them eating canned food produced by the Ulutus department when he was working for the official's house. However, it was aquatic can. He secretly picked up the torn canned lid while the official's house was not paying attention.

After licking it, the smell is still unforgettable.

Although I don’t have the money to buy canned meat and canned fruits now, it’s also good to spend a dime to buy two canned vegetables to try them out.

Seeing Wang Tieniu happily leaving the recruitment office with a bunch of things in his arms, Jiagu Oshu's mind became active. The recruitment office's things are so cheap, if he mobilizes the poor people in Nancheng to buy them together and then resell them, he can make a lot of money.

Moreover, the government paid them a settlement fee with such a wealthy and generous manner, and he could also send people to collect a certain commission from door to door. Anyway, no one dared not to give it. Thinking of this, Jiagu Wushu suddenly felt that it was nothing wrong with the Mongols occupying Shangjing.

"Hey! What are you talking about? Why are you so stupid?" Just as Jiagu Oshu was trapped in a beautiful fantasy, the official shouted at him in anger.

But as soon as Wang Tieniu left, he was in line for him.

"Hehe, nothing, nothing." Jiagu Oshu tried hard to make a simple and honest look, lowering his eyebrows and said with his eyes.

"What is the name, what kind of people know, what kind of skills, please report them."

"Jiazhi, the people who went to Beijing, can do some muddy work." Jiaguwuzhi originally wanted to say that he could fight, but after all, his history of starting a family was to make a breakthrough by being brave and fighting. But when he thought that he was all officials, wouldn't he say such words besides the old birthday boy eating arsenic and living impatiently?

So after a while, I changed my mind and randomly wrote down a craftsmanship.

The official in charge of registration was about to write up. Suddenly, the official in charge of the registration was sitting aside, and the slightly longer-shaped official in charge said, "Are you a bricklayer? How many years have you been?"

Seeing that the official in charge of the registration had stopped recording, Jiaguwushu felt a little nervous and pretended to be calm and said, "Yes! The villain started with his father since he was a child, and it has been a few years since he was young. But now the war has left no business."

"Oh! That's an old bricklayer!" Zhang Heng pretended to think, and suddenly changed his tone and said to the left and right officials: "Take him down! This man's face was rosy and there was no feeling of a bricklayer's wind blowing the sun. He must have been here to cheat his wages."

Although the government is full of kindness in this recruitment, there are no unscrupulous people in any era. From one hour of recruitment today, false reporting of skills has occurred no less than ten times.

The reason for this is that these poor people also see that. Those with craftsmanship often have high wages and do not work physically. Therefore, they all want to repay better and get more wages.

The current situation of Jiaguwushu is naturally considered by the people to be a slippery person in false reporting of skills. Generally, in this case, officials will ask them to go to the small room behind the recruitment office to test the authenticity.

If it is true or false, it will be kicked out and will never be hired by the recruitment department again.

Jiaguwutao had been standing for so long and knew about this situation. Seeing that the official had no idea, he insisted on taking him into the small room behind him. He had to wink at the minions who were following him and let them rest assured.

When I was taken inside, I saw several refined men with obviously different clothes than those of the official official were waiting.

"Not good!" Jiaguwushu has a high sensitivity when trying to make a living on the edge of the knife for many years. The faint momentum of these men made him smell the danger.

"I've come here, why do you want to leave?" Just as Jiaguwushu turned around and was about to run out, Zhang Heng, who had been sending him recently, had already stepped in front of him, and he kicked him, and said coldly.

Caught off guard, Jiaguwushu was kicked in the chest and suddenly breathed a breath of blood.

"You - you are not from the government, who are you?" He knew that the government was all a group of swearing to intimidate the poor, so how could you have such skills and momentum?
