Outside the city, in Xinglonggang, there are several tables and large pots, and tempting aromas float in the air.
Yang Fan sat upright on the Taishi chair.
Below, there was a dense mass of 50,000 to 60,000 refugees, all dressed in ragged clothes and with dark skin, arriving with their young and old in tow.
Xinghe Iron Works had just released the news of recruiting people, and the refugees within a dozen miles nearby rushed to tell each other and came quickly.
Looking at these hungry people, Yang Fan felt very unbearable, but he knew that although he still had less than 200 million in the bank, he could not help so many people.
Without meat, fat, or non-staple food, a person must eat at least one kilogram of grain a day. There are nearly 100,000 refugees near Zunhua. They must eat fifty tons of grain a day.
Indian rice is the cheapest, costing 5,000 yuan per ton. It consumes 250,000 yuan in one day. 25 million yuan in one hundred days is gone. It really won’t last long, and there must be a low-cost way to solve the problem of feeding these people.
So Yang Fan came up with the idea of collecting food waste. The imperial capital is a metropolis with a population of more than 30 million, and the food waste generated in a day is enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people.
Not only is there no cost, but the hotel also has to pay Yang Fan for shipping and garbage disposal fees. The government also provides subsidies per ton. But Yang Fan brings the garbage here without any cost at all. All this money is net profit.
.This is the path to sustainable development.
There is a lot of meat and grease in these kitchen wastes, which are most lacking in this era. Yang Fan has made further plans to separate the grease in the garbage treatment plant and use the grease to make soap.
It is another no-cost buy. Daily necessities such as soap, with huge sales volume and huge profits, can definitely create a chemical giant.
Yang Fan plans to let Monkey continue to expand its market share. After all, other companies cannot compete with Yang Fan.
Zhao Fu used a rolled-up loudspeaker to shout: "For the first batch, recruit three thousand regiments to train soldiers. Food and accommodation are included. The monthly salary is one hundred pure copper coins. It can be spent as two hundred coins."
Boom! The crowd was shocked. This is a salary of two silver coins a month. The workers in the city are no more than this.
But being a soldier requires hard work. People here don't know how to survive this winter.
I still don’t know if I can survive until the spring of next year, so I might as well try and see. If I can’t find a job, I will definitely starve to death, and my whole family will starve to death. If I fight in a war, I won’t necessarily die.
I originally wanted to come to Zunhua to find some work. But now, I can't even enter the city gate, so my hope is slim. Now that there is such a good job, who wouldn't want to go?
"You must have a family, if you don't have a family, don't do it. Xinghe Tuanlian provides accommodation, and you can bring your family to live with you." Zhao Fu shouted.
This is what Zhao Fu and Yang Fan proposed. The army must be loyal, and loyalty does not come from the sky. In the early stage, family members must be used as hostages.
The entire day was spent interviewing soldiers to train. The selection mainly looked at age, and those over thirty were not accepted. Secondly, they looked at their bodies, they had to be tall and strong. They couldn’t have diseases, bad eyesight, or people who couldn’t see clearly at night. They would also be able to see in the future.
Eliminate the ones. Finally, look at the character. Look for people who are honest and honest and fear the government. Don’t look for slick people, people in the market, rogues and the like.
The selection is still very strict. This is just the first round of preliminary selection. Ten thousand people are planned to be selected. After that, those who are unsuccessful can be selected as miners. Those who are unsuccessful in the selection of miners can go to the Baihu House in Rock Beach to pick up rocks and dig fortifications. There is no salary.
But take care of the food.
The severe drought continued this year, and all the seedlings were withered. Zhao Shuigen's family could not afford to pay taxes and miscellaneous donations, so they were imprisoned. The family had to sell their land to get him out.
Without land, the family had no choice but to flee and try their luck in Zunhua. But there were too many refugees here, the city gates refused to let them in, and the iron factories outside had stopped hiring people for a long time. If they couldn't find a job, they kept putting off
After going down, he could only become a tracker.
Everyone knows that no one can survive five years as a tracker. Without enough food, cold river water, and naked body stretching, it is only a matter of time before the body collapses.
The father and mother were starving to death, and a pair of children were also starving, their eyes were dull, and they were dying. The wife was also so hungry that she could hardly walk. The only piece of bran cake she shoved into his arms, and the family still expected him to find it.
What about work?
Today he heard that a group training was being recruited here. He didn't care whether he would go to war or not, so he quickly brought his whole family to try his luck.
When he heard that there were two hundred coins a month, he almost felt that he had heard wrong. Two coins was enough to support a family.
"Hey, that big guy, why are you in a daze? It's your turn."
Zhao Shuigen ran over quickly: "Master, master, my name is Zhao Shuigen, I have a lot of strength."
Bang, a stone lock was thrown at his feet. Zhao Shuigen picked it up without hesitation and lifted it about ten times.
Yang Fan was delighted. He could lift this stone lock and join the group training. This guy was so thin that he could lift it more than a dozen times.
"I can't tell. You are so skinny and yet so strong. Are your legendary bones filled with meat?"
Haha, the servants around burst into laughter.
Zhao Shuigen also smiled carefully, "Master, I haven't eaten in two days. If I'm full, I can lift hundreds of times."
"Hey, let's see what you can do. Stand here. You passed. Do you have a family?" Zhao Fu scolded with a smile.
"Yes, yes, parents, my wife's family also has a pair of children." Zhao Shuigen quickly replied.
Take your family members there to get tableware, and then go there to get food.
Zhao Fu pointed towards the leeward side of the mountain. A row of large pots were cooking porridge, and the aroma wafted in the wind.
A wooden waistband was thrown to Zhao Shuigan. It was obviously freshly made and smelled of wood shavings. His name was written on it.
Zhao Shuigen took three steps and two steps at a time, then ran back in a hurry, and even fell over in excitement.
"Dad, Mom, I found something wrong, Master Yang has taken me in."
The family cried with joy and hugged each other.
"Stop crying, come and have dinner with me, my boss will take care of the food."
The family supported each other and walked to the big pot in the back mountain. Immediately, a servant came over to organize the queue. The whole family was given a stainless steel rice bowl.
"Son, what is this made of? Why is it so bright? You can even spot people."
"Mom, I don't know either. This owner is really a kind person for giving out such good tableware."
Finally, their family arrived in line. A pair of children stared at the big pot and ate with their fingers.
A servant picked up a spoon and filled a bowl for everyone. Although it was very hot, no one found it too hot, and they all devoured it.
"This porridge actually contains oil. It's so fragrant. I haven't had oil or water in it for several years."
“There’s also salt in it.”
Zhao Shuigen and his family found a place under a big tree, sat on the ground, blew the porridge with a spoon to cool it down, and fed it to my mother's mouth bit by bit. Now it was time to eat. My hard-fed breath disappeared in one mouthful, and she suddenly felt
Both eyes were dark.
I'm so hungry that I can't even see.
After eating, someone came over and took them to the pier to board the boat.
These regiment members and their families will build a camp on the land in the slag mountain that Dongshan Mine sold to Yang Fan. They will also be responsible for guarding the mine.
