Chapter 425: The good situation is ruined

Although the workers are dissatisfied, there is nothing to say about the fact that they don’t want to hire them.

Moreover, these businessmen behaved very politely this time.

Many people have received some compensation.

Although there are not many, compared with before, what these businessmen have done can be considered to be the most benevolent and righteous.

After Zhao Da and Wang Hu received the compensation, they were not very interested.

"What are Brother Zhao's future plans?" Wang Hu asked.

Zhao Da shook his head depressedly: "What plan can I have? If I can't work here, I'll just find another place to work."

Looking at the hurried people around him, Wang Hu smiled a little strangely: "I'm afraid it's not easy to find a job at this time."

"?" Zhao Da was stunned and hurriedly asked: "Brother Wang Hu, what do you mean?"

Wang Hu sighed helplessly: "Brother Zhao, this kind of thing is probably not an exception."

"Perhaps, all the chambers of commerce are resigning now. It is estimated that more than half of the people in the entire Yanjing City will not be able to find work."

Zhao Da suddenly became so anxious that he couldn't even speak properly: "How could this happen? Brother Wang Hu, why are you not in a hurry at all?"

"Let's go look for it quickly. Maybe we can find some work to do."

After saying that, he picked up Wang Hu and ran away.

His strength was so great that Wang Hu had no room to struggle.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Da dragged him far away.

"Brother Zhao, wait a minute..." Wang Hu was dragged so hard that he staggered, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"You...where do you plan to find work?"

With a flick of the brush, Zhao Da froze on the spot.

He had really thought about Wang Hu's problem. Yanjing was not the small village he lived in before. It was really too big here.

Even by horse-drawn carriage, it would take several hours to run from the east to the west.

"Brother Wang Hu." Zhao Da let go of Wang Hu, scratched his head in embarrassment and asked, "Then where do you think we should go?"

Wang Hu rubbed his wrist, feeling as if his wrist was about to break.

Seeing this, Zhao Da smiled sheepishly: "I'm sorry, brother Wang Hu, I've been like this since I was a child, and I don't do anything serious. Are you okay?"

After flicking his wrist a few times, Wang Hu finally felt the pain was gone. He laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Brother Zhao, we don't know what Yanjing is like now, but I think these businessmen must have premeditated the layoffs."

Zhao Dalian nodded: "Brother Wang Hu, what you said makes sense. None of those businessmen are good."

Wang Hu was speechless. Telling Zhao Da this was really a bit of a joke.

So he stopped talking nonsense and simply said the conclusion directly: "Brother Zhao, if we want to find work at this time, we can't run around like headless flies."

"Yeah! Brother Wang Hu, what you said makes sense." Zhao Da only nodded.

"Brother Zhao, do you know Zhang Fengnian?"

Hearing Wang Hu ask this, Zhao Da's eyes suddenly lit up: "Of course I have heard of it. He used one formula and sold it for a total of five hundred thousand taels."

"Five hundred thousand taels..." Zhao Da's tone was full of longing.

Seeing how envious he was, Wang Hu's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything.

As a result, Zhao Da said with envy: "Brother Wang Hu, do you think if you had so much money, you would be able to eat meat every day?"



Wang Hu was speechless.

"Brother Zhao, we'll talk about this later. The reason why this Feng Nian can earn so much money is said to be inseparable from His Highness the King of England."

"Now these businessmen, because His Royal Highness the King of England upholds justice for us people, are going to drive us away."

"This Zhang Fengnian, since he has been favored by the prince, should not go against the prince like these businessmen."

"So, we can go to Zhang Fengnian's construction site and give it a try. Maybe they are recruiting workers."

"If you are lucky and can go to their construction site to beg for a meal, you won't have to worry about driving us away just like today."

Zhao Da's eyes suddenly lit up and he patted Wang Hu on the body: "Brother Wang, you have such a good mind."

In the excitement, Zhao Da forgot to control himself again.

Wang Hu didn't even have time to hide, and was slapped firmly by Zhao Dajie.

Immediately, I felt that half of my body was gone, as if it was no longer my own.

His face was pale and he forced a smile: "Without further delay, let's go there quickly to avoid being overtaken by others again."

"Okay!" Zhao Da agreed, and just like before, he grabbed Wang Hu's wrist and ran away.

"Wait..." Just as Wang Hu wanted to stop him, he was hit by the strong wind blowing in his face, and immediately blocked all his next words.

Zhao Da pulled Wang Hu and ran for more than two miles in a hurry, and finally arrived at the construction site contracted by Zhang Fengnian and others.

Along the way, Zhao Da saw many people like him.

Those people had a look of fear and confusion on their faces, not knowing what they should do.

It wasn't until Zhang Fengnian and his colleagues were around their construction site that the situation became much calmer.

At the entrance of the construction site here, many people are queuing up in an orderly manner.

Zhao Da said excitedly: "Brother, look quickly, as you guessed, we are really recruiting workers here."

After waiting for a while, I found that no one responded to me.

Looking back in confusion, he found Wang Hu squatting on the ground and vomiting. He felt as if he wanted to spit out all his gall and die.

Only then did Zhao Da realize what he had just done.

He quickly expressed concern: "Brother Wang Hu, are you okay?"

Wang Hu retched continuously, as if he wanted to vomit out his heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys.

While vomiting, he waved his hands: "No...I'm fine."

Before, he felt that this guy Zhao Da was just like blaming me.

But now, he is completely sure that Zhao Da is a monster.

Running a few miles is nothing to many people in this era.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After all, transportation in this era basically relies on two feet.

However, there are really not many people like Zhao Da who can run like crazy all the way without knowing what slowing down is.

By the time he reached halfway, Wang Hu could no longer run at all.

Just being pulled by Zhao Da, he couldn't stop at all.

It took a full cup of tea, but Wang Hu still hadn't recovered.

However, he still stood up with force, covering his waist with one hand, and said with difficulty: "Let's... let's get in line quickly."

Zhao Da was still quite worried about Wang Hu: "How about... let's take a rest and talk again?"

"No need." Wang Hu decisively refused: "We have to line up as early as possible, otherwise it will be over if they are full."

Zhao Da now has great trust in Wang Hu. After hearing what he said, he immediately followed Wang Hu to queue up.

Although there are many people queuing up, the recruitment speed is not slow.

Because many projects here in Yanjing have been started for a long time.

Most of them are experienced people.

Basically, you just ask what you know and then sign the contract directly.

As long as they are not businessmen who deliberately go against Zhu Han, their construction sites are short of manpower.

Therefore, apart from Zhang Fengnian, there are actually quite a few places recruiting workers.

However, there are still too few businessmen who share Zhu Han's heart.

Most businessmen still stood on the opposite side of Zhu Han due to various reasons.

In just one day, the situation in Yanjing City became extremely bad.

The most obvious among them are the small vendors selling various kinds of food.

In the past, those workers had stable jobs, but they couldn't work without enough food. Moreover, they had stable incomes, so they naturally spent money happily.

But now it's no longer possible, and the workers suddenly have no income.

Even if the businessmen compensate them with a little money, most of them still have some savings.

However, they are now unable to make ends meet, and the money they have on hand becomes less and less when they spend it.

No one dares to spend money recklessly.

This is not the future, and there are refrigerators and other things that can be used to keep things fresh.

The food they prepare cannot be sold, so they can only watch it go bad or eat it themselves.

It's dawn again.

Yanjing City, which was originally bustling with flowers, seemed to have turned into a dead place.

Only a few factories are operating.

Workers who have lost their jobs are either wandering aimlessly, or are already preparing to pack up and return to their hometowns.

The city of Yanjing has become like this. Some people are happy and some are worried.

Liu Shenhong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Many Huangzhuang students were called over by him: "Now Yanjing is at a critical moment of life and death. Can you all tell me if there is any good solution?"

Zhang Yunjie and others look at me and I look at you.

What can they do?

Although they have learned a lot of skills from His Majesty the King, they have just left school after all.

If we let them practice for a few years, they might be able to solve this problem.

But now, they don't even know how to get started.

Compared to Liu Shenhong who was anxious and angry.

Some people were so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear when they saw this situation.

Jufeng Tower, Tianzihao Yajian.

The businessmen who had been discussing how to deal with Zhu Han gathered together again.

But this time, the atmosphere at the banquet was much more lively.

Everyone, led by Du Rong, exchanged glasses and drank enthusiastically.

"That King of England dared to underestimate our merchants. Now, does he know how powerful our merchants are?"

"Some people always think that they are so great that they can get involved in anything. As everyone knows, every industry has its own way."

"Facts have proved that Yanjing City cannot survive without us."

"I've sent people to take a look in the past few days. Those mud-legged people are already a little dissatisfied with the imperial court. At this time, we only need to be among them..."

Before the man finished speaking, Du Rong suddenly shouted sharply: "Shut up!"

The sudden appearance of rage made everyone stunned for a moment.

I don’t understand what makes Du Rongfa so popular.

Seeing everyone looking over, Du Rong cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, we are just ordinary businessmen. All we think about every day is to make a little money from Hukou."

"The important national affairs of the imperial court are beyond the control of us people."

Du Rong's words were very cryptic. Some people understood it, but some people still didn't.

"Boss Du, we didn't get involved in any major court affairs. Those workers have lost their livelihoods and want to ask the court for an explanation. Isn't this a normal thing? Doesn't it have anything to do with our dissatisfaction?"

"Idiot." Du Rong scolded him directly.

Seeing the businessman holding his neck and looking unconvinced, Du Rong became even more angry.

"Do you think I was wrong in scolding you? When we fire those workers, that is our own business and has nothing to do with the court."

"That's why the King of England didn't do anything to us."

"Otherwise, if we make Yanjing like this, do you think we will reap the benefits?"

"That is His Majesty the King of England. His Majesty has cut off more heads than many of you have ever seen."

"If you dare to encourage those workers to do something, do you believe that Jin Yiwei will come to your door immediately?"

"If you want to die yourself and are not afraid of harming your nine clans, then just go ahead and do it."

Everyone in the private room felt a little chill on their spines.

They were so blinded by interests before that they never thought of this level.

Thinking about it now, what is the difference between this and seeking death?

When the King of England came to Yanjing, he was planning to build a capital city, so he was stumbling over this matter.

It really pissed off the King of England and Zhu Yuanzhang behind him, that was really no joke.

But the matter has come to this, they have done everything, and there is no turning back.

I can only grit my teeth and hold on.

"Listen to Boss Du, as long as we don't do unnecessary things, His Royal Highness will not do anything to us?"

Seeing the frightened and frightened expressions on those people's faces, Du Rong sneered disdainfully: "Of course."

"I have received top-secret information. As long as what we do is in compliance with the law on the surface, His Majesty the King cannot do anything to us."

"Otherwise..." Du Rong picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Do you think we still have a chance to drink here alive?"

"So, everyone, remember, don't do anything unnecessary to leave an excuse for the King of England?"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Another businessman said worriedly: "Boss Du, when exactly do we have to wait?"

"Those workers have all been laid off by us. The construction site is left untouched every day, and it costs money to maintain it."

"This has been going on for a long time, and even without the King of England taking action, we ourselves will not be able to hold on any longer."

"Is it possible that we really have to give up our business in Yanjing and go back to our hometown?"

Du Rong's mouth almost turned to his ears: "Don't worry, all we lost was some money."

"But if there is no action from the King of England, wouldn't everything he said before become a joke?"

"So I conclude that the King of England will definitely take some action within three days."
