Chapter 490
Reinas in May, half a month after Donald took over the Talos family estate.
Summer has not yet arrived, and the hot weather is already looming.
The sun shines on the former slum area, now the residential area, the atmosphere here is as hot as the ambient temperature.
A simple greenhouse was set up on the right side of the dilapidated block, and some people moved seven or eight long tables and chairs. Station, even if a recruitment office has been established.
“The Senge construction team needs 15 strong laborers, with a daily salary of 5p!”
“We need professional masons, with a daily salary of 10p, and apprentices are also accepted. 7p a day, two meals a day!”
“Fussen Street needs a few people to help demolish the abandoned house, 6p a day, all meals!”
… …
The Chief-In-Charge of each construction team was shouting hard, and a wooden token with treatment was erected in front of the table, for fear that people might not hear it clearly.
The people in the slum area have never seen such battles. You must know that although Renas used to build construction projects in the past, they were generally concentrated in the wealthy area. Which villa needs to be renovated again. This type of project does not need too many people, and the salary is very high. However, the rich people are all about people. Even if the construction team is hired, they must be professional workers. Take their turn.
“Sir, are you going to work in another city?”
Some people think that the nearby city needs help, after all, the daily salary of this kind of coolie is usually not enough It’s only 3p, so you have to bring your own food.
“Of course not. Haven’t you read the recent Reinas Daily? We’re all blessed!”
Chief-In-Charge of Senge Construction Team with his hands on his back The table top shouted to the more and more people around,
“Our mayor, Lord Talos, because he was guided by the black robe saint, decided to rest Renas and build residential buildings for you free of charge. There are all kinds of public facilities!”
“The government wants to build us houses? How is this possible, it would be nice not to demolish our houses.”
Reinas City The credibility of the government is really worrying in the eyes of these civilians. When many people hear this, they not only do not believe it, but also think that this is a new round of enclosure operations by the government.
“It’s perfectly clear in the newspapers, and the project I just paid for from the government…the tender, is the street you’re standing on now. , construction will start in three days, when the time comes not only residential buildings, but also various shops…”
brawny man in a brown vest stood at the table , waving the construction plan in his hand, regardless of whether others could see it or not, he just shouted loudly,
“If anyone doesn’t believe it, go and see the Western District, there are several The block has started, and we all have a deadline for completion… Forget it, I can’t tell you guys, I repeat, I need 15 strong laborers here, working 9 hours a day , the lunch break is also included, the daily salary is 5 pence, meals are included, there is a bonus for doing a good job, is there anyone here?”
Having said this, the next thing is simple, Renas’s What the people lack now is the opportunity to make money. Who wants to miss this kind of work that can be done as long as they have the strength?
But that’s it, the construction team still hasn’t recruited enough people. It’s not that the people don’t come, but that the construction team needs too many people!
The first-phase project plan proposed by the Renas city government at the first round tendering meeting launched a week ago almost covers one third urban area. According to those who have been there, as long as the bidding is successful, the project will be allocated on site. , a few boxes of gold pounds are on the stage!
It’s just that because there were too few engineering teams in the city at that time, only half of the people were entrusted in the end, so the government decided to hold a bidding meeting again three days later.
Anyone with a bit of foresight knows that doing projects must make money, so in just three days, a large number of construction teams emerged in Reinas, and Senge Construction Team is one of them. one.
If the construction team wants to work, they must have people. Therefore, a large number of unemployed homeless people who were not cared about a week ago have immediately become a fragrant pastry.
In the beginning, the construction team only recruited strong laborers. In the back, as long as there were men, some of them needed strength. There was no way. There was really not enough manpower. After all, they all signed contracts with the government and must Completed within a certain period of time, otherwise even if it is a breach of contract, they have to pay liquidated damages, and even go to prison in serious cases.
You must know that there is no such thing as running away with money in this era, because the Boss behind these projects is the mayor who has been in the limelight recently. He is an aristocrat among aristocrats. If they are caught, they will be sent directly to the gallows without interrogation.
In a black car outside the job recruitment boom on the street, Donald looked at the situation outside and said with a faint smile: “Stabilize the hearts and minds of Renas City. The best way is not to hand out items to the people, but to help people who have had nothing to do all day find a job that will exhaust them physically and mentally and yet earn a satisfying reward!”
Bottom The people don’t really ask for much, a job that can support their whole family and a little bit of money is enough to calm their hearts, which is why Donald is so eager to promote the first phase of the city’s construction in the past half a month. one.
Squinting his eyes, feeling the more powerful Power of Faith in his mind, the smile on Donald’s face became more and more intense, most recently he seems to be quite effective from the double propaganda of the official and the public.
Although it will be quite some time before Reyna is transformed into a place like the Howling Forest, this is certainly a good start.
“Your decision is really convincing. Renovating the existing blocks and turning the scattered residential buildings into unified residential buildings will not only facilitate management and save the construction cost of public facilities to the greatest extent, but also Freeing up large tracts of land to build factories and commercial stores, turning those worthless land into commercial lots for the Great Chamber of Commerce… This method not only solved the employment problem in the short term, but also To appease the people of Renas, it also saves government costs and avoids financial crisis. At the same time, it attracts Chamber of Commerce to let them see the business opportunities and take the initiative to help you build Renas. In the end, we may be able to lease gold from abroad. The land of the lot has gained a lot of money, and the city government will not only not lose money, but will do more with one stone!”
Huxley is now completely convinced by the new owner’s business methods. Some of the funds in the family warehouses that were destroyed were used as start-up funds, and the next step was to use external forces to develop Renas while taking care of almost all walks of life, making most people profitable.
“I have to correct a slip of your tongue. It’s not that you might get a lot of money, but it’s inevitable! I can tell you clearly that as long as 30% of the vacated land can be developed in the short term, we will They will make a lot of money!”
What was the most profitable society in Donald’s previous life? Putting aside those written in criminal law, real estate is definitely a well-known figure in the first tier!
Now Donald is the mayor of Reinas City. Except for the wealthy area, nearly 70% of the land in the entire slum area is in his name. If he can’t even think of this method, he The past life can be said to have lived several decades in vain.
“How is the revision progress of the “Factory Law”? I remember that I mentioned this to you half a month ago. For the time being, it is only a rough prototype. Response?”
The “Factory Law” was specifically formulated by Donald to regulate factories in the city of Rainas, in order to seek faster development and conform to the industrial revolution that has gradually emerged throughout the Ryan Empire. Waves, the chaos in the Renas industry must be rectified.
Donald is not one of those conservative capitalists who are still on the sidelines and want to take a step by step. For him who has seen steel giant ships and armed robots in Demingham, the industrial revolution of this era is obvious. To be more advanced and special, of course, he must integrate into it as soon as possible.
“The general regulations have been revised. In fact, what we are encountering now is not internal resistance, but pressure from other capitalists and nobles in Renas, who will not sit back and watch the “Factory Law”. Promulgated, although we are for the faster development of Reynus’ industry, in their eyes it is development at the expense of their interests…and it is.”
The city government of Reinas has been too indulgent to these capitalists and aristocrats in the past, allowing them to taste enough sweetness in exploiting the people, employing child labor, working hours far beyond normal working hours, etc. Insidious means simply have the words at hand.
It turns out that these guys may be slow at other things, but they’re better than anyone else when it comes to making their own money.
“It’s 3 o’clock, go home first… How far are they?”
Donald rolled up the window and looked towards Huxley in the driver’s seat. road.
“The latest information shows that several capitalists in the city have been in close contact with Viscount Adrian recently, and several other families who originally cooperated with you seem to have changed.”
Recently The series of changes in Reinas City are all seen by these people. The Talos family silently swallowed all the properties of those families, plus they spared no effort to promote the black robe saint through government channels. The behavior undoubtedly touched the sensitive nerves of these families.
Even in the upper class of Renas, there have been rumors that this black robe saint is actually a good play directed and acted by Serveit Talos, in order to win over those families. property.
They dare not confront the Talos family head-on, so naturally they have to find other ways to safeguard their own interests.
“These people are a problem. I’ve been busy sorting out the affairs of Renas City recently, and I forgot the existence of these people… I have to find a chance to reason with them properly.”
Donald is not worried about this kind of alliance of interests. Since it is the interests that make them go, it will also make them part ways.
