However, Hu Changan also had his own considerations in doing so.
Although driving away the refugees can solve immediate problems, it cannot cure the root cause.
After the refugees were expelled, they would gather again in Hu Changan's soap workshop.
After all, we have food and accommodation here, so what’s wrong?
This soap workshop is like a cake placed in front of a starving person.
Such a delicious cake, everyone wants to take a bite.
Although the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division can drive away the refugees for a while, they cannot come here every day to drive away the refugees.
Hu Changan is ready to directly address the root cause and integrate these refugees!
Looking at the refugees gathered at the door, Hu Changan said calmly: "Tell me, why did you become refugees?"
Suddenly, everyone started talking about it.
One of the young men in ragged clothes was the first to speak: "I'm from Shandong, and the floods there are serious!"
"Our ancestors have lived in the village for generations, and we have never seen such a ferocious flood."
"When the flood came, my fields and my house were all washed away!"
"I was left naked, with neither food to eat nor clothes to wear. I had no choice but to go south to Yingtian City to survive."
"At least at the Emperor's feet, with the Emperor's blessing, life may be a little easier."
When another middle-aged man heard this, he also expressed his bitterness: "I am from Hebei, and the floods there are also very serious."
"I was still busy in the fields when I heard there was a flood."
"When I went back, I found that the house was flooded and my wife and son were missing."
"My poor little son is only three years old!"
When it came to the emotional part, the man couldn't help but wipe his eyes.
Hearing this, other people also echoed one after another.
After hearing this, Hu Changan had a rough idea in his mind.
It seems that these people are all victims of floods.
It sounds like they were all honest farmers before.
It was just that they couldn't survive anymore, so they took the risk and came to Yingtian City to seek life.
If these refugees had been bandits, Hu Changan would not dare to take them in.
After all, once you become a bandit, it's like a tiger eating meat.
Once they experience a life of getting something for nothing, these people will no longer be able to calm down and move bricks honestly.
But fortunately, these people haven't reached this point yet.
This kind of honest person should be able to be recruited.
When Hu Changan heard this, he coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, I deeply sympathize with you for what you are going through."
"You deserve a better life!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Immediately, everyone was moved.
Ever since they became refugees, they have only been greeted with blank stares and rejection.
This was the first time that they heard such heartwarming words.
For the first time, someone stood in their shoes and thought for them.
Yes, in fact, they are just some miserable people.
Natural disasters are always unforeseen disasters that no one can predict.
Yesterday you may have been working diligently, but tomorrow when a natural disaster strikes, you will become a homeless person.
In fact, these refugees are also hesitant and uneasy in their hearts.
Now, finally, someone stands up and understands their difficulties!
The atmosphere on the field suddenly became less tense.
Seeing that the atmosphere on the field had eased, Hu Changan also smiled slightly and continued to say to these refugees: "Everyone, after hearing your tragic experience, I am extremely sympathetic."
"So, I am willing to open temporary worker positions for you."
What? Temporary workers?
When all the refugees heard this, they all looked at me and I looked at you, wondering what kind of medicine Hu Changan was selling in his gourd.
Even the officials of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division standing by were confused by Monk Zhang Er.
A bold refugee couldn't help but ask: "Master, what on earth is this temporary worker?"
When Hu Changan heard this, he also smiled slightly and said: "As the name suggests, this temporary worker is working in my workshop temporarily."
"Of course, your treatment is the same as that of ordinary craftsmen."
"Each of you has a basic salary and bonus salary."
"The basic salary remains unchanged, while the bonus salary fluctuates based on how much you work."
“The more you work, the greater the reward salary will be; if you do less, the reward salary will be less.”
"In addition to wages, the workshop will also take care of three meals and sleep for you every day, which is commonly known as providing food and accommodation."
"As long as you work hard, the benefits will definitely come to you!"
"But you are only temporarily employed here."
"In other words, if you work here for one day, it will be counted as one day's wages."
"Unlike the servants I bought, you will work in Hu's forever."
"You are free to leave, and I can also choose to fire you when I don't have a job. The choice is mutual."
"But the Hu family is currently in a period of expansion, so I want all of you for the time being."
"Of course, if you work hard and are willing to work at Hu's for a long time, I can consider making you a regular employee of Hu's and become a formal long-term employee of Hu's, enjoying the benefits of lifelong employment."
In fact, Hu Changan has long wanted to hire more workers for his workshop.
At present, Hu Changan owns not only this soap workshop, but also a coal workshop and a glass workshop.
As a result, Hu Changan's manpower was greatly lacking.
Although it is possible to buy people, Hu Changan does not want to buy many people at once.
After all, these industries may need to be adjusted in the future.
If too many people are hired at once, how should these people be placed when the order volume declines in the future?
In ancient times, there was no such thing as dismissal.
As long as a person buys it, he will be a member of your master's family for the rest of his life.
Although the employer can use the labor of these people for free, it must also provide food and accommodation for these people and pay them wages on time.
Unless some people are really cheating and go too far, Hu Changan can fire them.
Otherwise, if someone fires people for no reason and scares them, the Hu family will be stabbed in the back.
By then, I am afraid that all the dental shops in Yingtian City will not let them in.
Therefore, Hu Changan must control the number of formal workers to a certain number.
Therefore, recruiting temporary workers has become urgent.
This refugee incident just gave Hu Changan an excellent opportunity to legally recruit temporary workers.
When the refugees heard this, they cheered up one after another.
Is there such a good thing in the world?
As long as you work, you will not only have enough to eat and drink, have a place to sleep, but also receive wages?
This is absolutely great news for these refugees.
These refugees are not too worried about the temporary nature mentioned by Hu Changan.
