Chapter 428 Recruitment has really started(2/2)
When I left the door, I realized that many people were walking towards East Street.
The closer you get to East Street, the more people are around you
When we arrived at East Street, it was even more crowded.
At first glance, it was so dark that it was a bit scary.
Zhou Liang, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, was shocked and immediately sent agents from the Yamen to maintain public order.
With so many people gathered together, if something happened, it would be no joke.
The entire East Street was completely filled with noise.
All kinds of chatter and curses came and went.
The loudest among them are the managers of the chamber of commerce who are recruiting investment.
I don’t know if these stewards were specially selected.
The voices are louder than the other, and even in such a noisy situation, their voices can be heard clearly.
"The Donghai Chamber of Commerce is recruiting people, one tael of silver per month, food and lodging included!"
"The Meng Chong Chamber of Commerce is looking for someone, one or two six cents of silver a month, and they will take care of their own food and accommodation!"
"The Linchuan Chamber of Commerce is looking for someone, one, two or three dollars a month, including lunch!"
Several chambers of commerce have specially set up recruitment points on East Street.
And they seem to have negotiated it. The prices of each one are a little different, and the workers can choose according to their own needs.
But at this time, many people actually don’t choose it at all.
There were so many people that they had to work hard to get to the recruitment points.
Basically, as long as it doesn't particularly suit you.
Just sign the contract first and then talk.
They are not as lucky as Shen Baer, who has Wang Hu to give them advice.
I was afraid that I would be a step too late and would not be able to find a job like before, so I didn’t choose much at all.
They are very anxious here, but the people recruiting workers are still taking their time.
"Brother, let me first read to you the contract of our Donghai Chamber of Commerce."
The workers who were anxious to find work didn't want to listen at all.
"Don't bother me. I won't understand even if you read it. Just press your fingerprints, right?"
His rough hands moved towards Indonesia, ready to press on the contract.
The person responsible for signing the contract was shocked and hurriedly took the contract away.
"Brother, wait a minute."
The worker urged impatiently: "Isn't it just a matter of signing a contract? Why are you people so troublesome?"
The people behind also urged: "We are all in a hurry, can we hurry up?"
"That's why it wasn't so troublesome when I signed the contract before."
"Just find a job, why are you so disciplined?"
The people from the Donghai Chamber of Commerce were also speechless. I really don’t know whether these people are really stupid or pretending to be stupid.
If all this is a deed of sale, do they still have to sign it?
I can see that the opinions of people around me are getting louder and louder.
"Dear elders." The steward clasped his fists around: "It's not that our Donghai Chamber of Commerce has great rules, but these rules are specially ordered by His Royal Highness."
When I heard the words "His Royal Highness, the King of England", the surroundings suddenly became quiet for a moment.
These people have a very complicated attitude towards Zhu Han.
There is gratitude. After all, if Zhu Han hadn't contracted those projects to the businessmen, they would have had no chance to find such a profitable job despite all their suffering.
But at the same time, it was precisely because of the King of England that they lost their jobs and almost had to go back to farming.
Now it's hard to find someone to recruit workers, but His Royal Highness has come up with some rules.
Seeing that they all calmed down, the person in charge of signing the contract from the Donghai Chamber of Commerce began to read the contract.
Although they are all written in vernacular, very few ordinary people in this era have read the book.
Even if it is spoken in plain language, they still hear it in confusion.
This situation is not unusual. After the person in charge of signing the contract finished reading it, he began to explain it to the workers.
"The first item above is the salary and benefits we agreed on before. In other words, how much money we promised to pay you, how many meals we promised you, etc."
"This second item is your promise to our Chamber of Commerce. Basically, you only need to complete the work you are responsible for and don't do any cheating."
"...The following article says that for every ten days of work, you can have one day off."
Hearing this, there was a buzz of discussion again among the people looking for work.
"Oh my god, is there any time to rest during this work?"
"I said to the shopkeeper, if we don't take a break, can you give us more money?"
The manager was dumbfounded when he heard this. However, there are many people who can ask such questions.
After all, in this era there are not as many entertainment things as in later generations. Even if it is a holiday, many people don't know what to do.
For them, it is better to work hard than to do nothing.
"I'm sorry, everyone, these are the strict rules set by His Royal Highness, and we don't dare to violate them casually."
Zhu Han was in the restaurant in the distance, watching all this.
Liu Shenhong said a little strangely: "Your Majesty, I only have one day off in these ten days. Isn't it too much?"
His words made Zhu Han curl his lips secretly.
If this rest period were left to future generations, he would be even more insane than the blessed one.
If someone doesn't drown him with spitting stars, his defense is considered strong.
But there was nothing he could do, this era was not the future.
Low productivity determines that he cannot give those ordinary people too many holidays.
This decision caused an uproar.
Those who are officials do not receive such good treatment. They have to take one day off every ten days.
