Chapter 51: Porridge Shack
Hearing Xiaocao's words, Qin Chuan smiled slightly, then stroked Xiaocao's head and said, "Xiaocao, this is the court's business, and we can't help."
"However, you can hire some people to work in the cement mine. It can help some victims."
Hearing Qin Chuan's words, Xiaocao said happily: "Dad is so great, thank you dad!"
"By the way, Dad, if you are a high-ranking official in the court, would you have a better solution?"
Qin Chuan smiled and said, "If my father was a high-ranking official in the court, he might be able to implement a method of labor-for-relief. Let these victims develop water conservancy and manage food every day. They only need to give them a small amount of wages to keep them alive."
"At the same time, the charity warehouse organized by the court was also a good idea. But it was unsuccessful! The wealthy businessmen had money and food at home. But they refused to donate it."
"What should I do? In fact, there is a very simple way, which is to set up a list of merits in Chang'an City. Which company donates more money and food, carve their names on the top of the list of merits."
"The few given, the name is below. In Chang'an City, there are many wealthy businessmen and wealthy families. If they want face, they can only donate more."
"I think that using only the donations from wealthy businessmen and wealthy families in Chang'an City is enough to provide disaster relief this time."
When Xiaocao heard his father's advice, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up excitedly.
I couldn't help but say, "Dad is so great, Dad is so amazing! By the way, Dad, you have such a good way, why don't you tell the court?"
Hearing Xiaocao's words, Qin Chuan laughed out loud, then rubbed Xiaocao's little head, and then said, "Your father is just an empty viscount, how can he go to the sky to listen?"
Is this official so easy to be accused of?
Every day, you have to be careful of other people's calculations.
Where can I feel comfortable as being a Master Xiaoyao?
Of course, this is something that cannot be said to Xiaocao.
To avoid teaching the children badly.
...
On the second day, Qin Chuan decided to recruit some personnel and add them to the cement factory.
There is a serious shortage of people in the cement factory now.
Qin Shui only recruited twenty or thirty workers, and the progress was very slow.
Now, due to a severe drought, so many refugees have poured in, so many people can be recruited.
And the wages are cheap.
Early the next morning, Qin Chuan and Xiaocao went to the porridge shed they set up.
There are four walls on Chang'an City, and each wall has three gates.
There are twelve city gates in total, and outside each city gate, there are porridge sheds of large and small.
There are many noble people in Chang'an City.
Those wealthy nobles may do all the bad things on weekdays.
But every time a disaster occurs, I am willing to give up the porridge, probably just to seek peace of mind.
The porridge shed set up by Qinchuan and Princess Changle is in the corner and is eye-catching.
Of course, Princess Changle’s porridge shed was not set up in the name of the princess.
However, their porridge is the thickest cooked, and the chopsticks are definitely not overturned.
In each bowl of porridge, you can add a small piece of pickles to it.
Therefore, when their porridge sheds start to take porridge, they can attract a large number of victims.
This time, they had just arrived, and a large number of victims rushed over.
While helping, Xiaocao looked at Princess Changle's porridge shed beside her.
It’s a pity that Princess Changle did not come today, and Xiaocao couldn’t help but look disappointed in her eyes.
Today, there is an additional recruitment brand in front of the porridge shed in Qinjiazhuang.
Most of the victims on the scene were illiterate.
They couldn't help asking:
"Look, what is written on that brand?"
"Who knows how to read? Come and lyrics, is there any benefit?"
Among the victims, there were a few literate people.
He couldn't help but sing out loud:
Recruitment: Cement factory recruits 100 workers, with food and accommodation, three meals a day, three cents a day for wages, as long as they are young and strong.
The salary for three-money is indeed not high.
In Qinchuan’s cement factory, ordinary kiln workers recruited from other villages were paid five cents.
People in Qinjiazhuang have ten cents of wages.
The salary of three cents is very low.
But at this time, being able to give three cents of wages can also be said to be a conscience workshop.
Most workshops only care about food and don’t pay a penny of wages at this time.
The salary of three cents is still very attractive to these victims.
For a time, many young and strong victims came to sign up.
Qin Shan is next to him and is responsible for registration.
However, not all young and strong people come to sign up for work.
There are also some who, when they heard that they were recruiting kiln workers, shook their heads, but were unwilling to come.
Seeing this scene, the grass was very strange and difficult to understand.
She couldn't help but ask a strong man with a strong body, "Uncle, I'm recruiting workers there. I'm giving three cents a day. Don't you sign up?"
I saw the strong man holding a bowl of sticky rice porridge in his hand, grinning with yellow teeth, and laughing: "You can get half full after eating this bowl of porridge."
"Then walk to a few more porridge sheds, and you can eat it. Then lie on the ground and bask in the sun and have a good sleep. Isn't it delicious? It's delicious and delicious, why do you have to go to work as a coolie?"
This answer was beyond Xiaocao's expectations.
She looked at the strong man who was leaving with the bowl of porridge, biting her lips, and her eyes were filled with tears.
At this time, Qin Chuan was at the recruitment site, but he did not see this scene.
At this time, a young man with a big waist and round waist came over and asked in a muffled voice: "Do you guys have enough food here?"
What others ask is a question of when the wages will be paid, and whether it is accurate or not.
This young and strong man was strange, and he asked whether he was full or not.
Qin Shan said with a smile: "Of course, I eat openly and I can eat enough."
The young man immediately smiled and said, "That's good, I'll sign up too."
Qin Shan asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Xue Li."
Xue Li? Qin Chuan next to him vaguely felt that this name sounded familiar.
After thinking for a while, I didn't remember where I had heard of it, and I didn't care much about it.
However, these hundred young and strong men quickly recruited all their men.
After all, it is really their luck to have a place to work for these victims.
On the way back, Qin Chuan saw that Xiaocao was depressed, with a little face and a little mouth sagging, looking unhappy.
Qin Chuan couldn't help but pick her up and asked with concern: "Xiaocao, who made you unhappy? Tell dad, dad, let me decide for you."
