Chapter 377 Working hard for the family(1/2)
"Do you know? Prince Yu's mansion is about to start recruiting workers again!"
"Of course I know, didn't the Prince Yu's Mansion and the Witch Girl send someone to talk to you?"
"What kind of witch girl? She is the young princess! They are all married to Prince Yu!"
"Haha, yes, it's my fault! I forgot that they became a family! But this is better, and we have more support!"
"Yes, with the witch girl here, we have some work to do!"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and prepare. What else will you go to the cement... Cement... Cement factory is here to meet the work! Everyone cheer up and don't lose to these lazy people in the capital!"
"Don't worry, when it comes to being honest and willing to work hard, they can't match us!"
“…”
The cement factory is 35 miles west of the city of Dijing. It is a mountain depression, surrounded by not a farmland or a residential gathering area, but is near an official road.
Overall, this kind of factory is best to open in a place far away from people.
There is even no small river flowing here.
It is really not easy to find a place in the Gyeonggi area where there is no river in a radius of about ten miles.
But in order to prevent water pollution, you must stay away from the water source.
Now they don’t know, but not knowing it does not mean they will not lose the pain of water pollution.
If you want to use water, you have to bring water to the people who live a few miles away every day.
There are not many now. After all the two thousand acres of land have started to be used, they can make a fortune by just pulling water every day.
Although calcined cement does not require a huge amount of water like stirring concrete, it also requires a lot of water in various processes, not to mention that daily eating, drinking, defecation, and cleaning and bathing also require a lot of water.
The common people can not only bring water to sell it, but also consume as much as the vegetables they grow, the pork, chicken, fish they catch.
joke!
A total of 20,000 production workers, logistics and other aspects, all of which are more than 20,000. They are all strong men. It is really easy for each person to eat two or three pounds of a meal.
This situation was verified as early as when various workshop factories in Prince Yu's Mansion were opened.
The people around them are really well-behaved.
So a few days ago, when I learned that another large factory in Prince Yu's Mansion was about to be opened here, the village elders, village chiefs, township chiefs, etc. all came over to ask about the specific situation.
Originally, today was the fourth hour of Chen, which was eight o'clock in the morning, but there were people queuing up as early as Mao hour.
It's not dawn yet!
The reason is that some people live far away, so they have to come here earlier.
And they were reluctant to take the carriage, and they walked all the way, and they really set off in the middle of the night.
Although they were a little tired, everyone was very energetic.
Many people around me knew each other, and they were either fellow villagers or coworkers working in the Ministry of Works, so they naturally got together.
The cement factory needs to recruit 20,000 workers, 5,000 workers in logistics support, transportation and other aspects. The requirements are different, and the salary is naturally different.
The rumor spread a few days ago, where is the cement factory, what work to do, and what risks are there... Wait, the people from Prince Yu's Mansion stood under the signs of temporary villages, and explained it clearly to everyone.
Many people on the spot thought it was not very good and were still clamoring.
As a result, today they were seen with sharp eyes.
"Hey, Brother Wang, didn't you say you were afraid that pneumonia would be short of your life, so you didn't come for an interview?" someone joked with a smile.
Brother Wang's face was a little blushed, but he said without hesitation: "That's just my initial idea. Prince Yu's mansion will give us a salary of 300 million yuan a day, and we will take a day off for one shift, and we will still pay for this kind of good thing. Where can we find such a good thing?"
"That's right!"
Another person also interrupted, "My wife told me that even if it is harder or more tired, she has to do it! Otherwise, how can I support the children at home? I also want to save more money, build a house for them, and settle down here!"
"Yes! I've been here for more than two years before I knew it, and I live in a temporary house... I heard that Jiang Laowu has bought a house outside the city, with six rooms, and the whole family has picked it up. I'm so envious!"
"Who said no? He was also appreciated by the young princess and became a technical expert, so he received a reward of 1,000 taels of silver! With this money, of course he could buy a house!"
"I have to work hard too! I will try to do something like a human being! Otherwise, even if I stay in the capital, I can't buy a shelter for my parents, wife and children. Who is that man?"
“…”
As the group of people spoke, several gates of the entire factory slowly opened.
Next to me was a group of men in uniform, shouting loudly with iron horns.
"Be careful to queue up and don't make noise!"
"If you don't follow the rules, just drive it out!"
“Come in line at the position you want!”
"If you pass the test, keep going to the right. That is the second round of interviews."
"Don't make noise if you haven't passed the customs. Go out through the side door!"
“…”
These servants of Prince Yu’s Mansion were not very panicked when they encountered such 30,000 to 40,000 people coming to apply for the job interview.
Even they survived the interview at the previous Fengwo Coal Workshop, let alone now.
These people have been working with the Ministry of Works for two years. At least they should learn the rules, right?
Sure enough, the group of workers did not seem to be dispersed at all. They all followed the queue just now and walked forward honestly.
Although they talk to each other, the whole step is orderly and not messy at all.
Standing on the tall building built in the distance, Wu Yeshuang, wearing a thick mink coat, was looking at this side with Liu Mingqi.
Behind them, hundreds of huge square concrete factories are being continuously built.
In order to meet the cement needs of the factory, the furnaces built before were not enough, and hundreds of furnaces were temporarily burning the cement day and night.
The group of Mo family children from the Ministry of Works have moved into the factory.
While calcining cement with the workers, they learned about the processes of various processes. At the same time, they compared the ratio list given by Liu Mingqi in their hands, and studied and pondered.
Wu Yeshuang is a member of the Mo family, so she also gave them a lot of convenience.
Liu Mingqi didn't say much about this. If he didn't even have this privilege, then why should he be the prince's concubine?
"Mr.~~"
After getting married, Wu Yeshuang's name finally changed. She asked: "I heard that when the factory was put into use one after another for a few days, a large number of production capacity would have to be transported to the mansions of various royal families?"
Sister Shuang has become more than just a name, but also her figure.
Under Liu Mingqi's day and night's research and care, her size became increasingly large and trembling, and even a thick mink coat could not be blocked.
Liu Mingqi took a look at the fruits of her labor, then turned her eyes and replied: "Yes, they got news from the officials, thinking that many places in their homes were muddy and ground. When it was windy, rainy and snow, there was mud everywhere, and there was no decent appearance of the royal family, so she wanted to use cement to tinker with the ground in the mansion."
"Hmph, didn't you say you should use it for defense and civil use first? They just don't have much information yet, so they started using privileges."
Seeing Sister Shuang's dissatisfied look, Liu Mingqi reached out and held her little hand, saying, "This is normal. Human society is still like this thousands of years later, and the powerful still occupies the best part of the society's resources.
This is the weakness of human nature. What we should do is not change this, but strive to make this cake bigger, so that more ordinary people can also enjoy their due dignity.
Besides, these children of the royal family have relatively average conditions. They can’t even lay bluestone slabs at home. It’s okay for Grandma Huang to take care of them, and it’s understandable."
Wu Yeshuang turned her head as she heard it: "People, why are you holding my hand?"
"Anyway, there are no outsiders." Liu Mingqi was thick-skinned and just didn't let go.
Sister Shun originally did a lot of work, her hands were very rough and her face didn’t take care of her skin.
But how can girls not love beauty?
After Liu Mingqi gave her the essential oil for flower fragrance, she also started to apply it.
First, the hands and face, then over time, the upper body, and then the whole body...
After about two years of skin care, Liu Mingqi got a perfect bride when she was newlywed and she couldn't let go of her love.
Now there are only Dazhu and Fan Shan around the two of them, and Suo Xuan is waiting below, so Wu Yeshuang thought about it and gave up struggling.
"Is there really no way to solve it in the future?" Sister Shuang continued the question just now, "When there is no one in the world?"
"If everyone is the same, it will not be a good thing." Liu Mingqi said, "When working hard or not, it will be the same result. Do you think it is interesting? The whole society can still make progress, and people continue to invent and create things that make people's lives better and better?"
Wu Yeshuang fell silent.
She remembered the things that Liu Mingqi created.
But more things in this world were not created by Liu Mingqi, but by millions of people.
If everyone doesn’t do anything, then naturally there will be no future.
Even the things that Liu Mingqi invented will not be made or used.
If you think about it carefully, it's really terrible.
"And everyone should have a positive pursuit, which is the driving force for the prosperity of society." The boy looked at the dense crowd not far below and said, "Just like them, I think it is very inspiring to work hard and struggle for their parents, for their wives and children."
"So we should ignore those borers?" Wu Yeshuang asked back.
