"Hiring?"
Merton looked at Master Li in surprise!
Master Li nodded. This time, in addition to promoting the compulsory education of Mojia village for Merton, he came to Chang'an to discuss the shortage of manpower in Mojia village with Merton at the command of Li Yi and Lao Zhang.
"There are a lot of employment places in Mojia village now. Lao Zhang's workshop alone has used half of the people in Mojia village, plus the people sent to Guanzhong by the village guard, transportation team and Chang'an city. All the people have been used. If we don't recruit people, I'm afraid there will be no people to collect crops during the autumn harvest!" Mr. Li talked to Merton about the current situation of Mojia village.
Listening to master Li's ostentatious complaints, Merton couldn't help sighing that the Mojia village was still poor six months ago. Everyone was trapped in the village, guarding the fields and relying on heaven. Who knows that there was a shortage of manpower six months later.
"It's OK to recruit people, but the of Mojia village also needs transformation." Merton thought for a while and said.
There are too many and miscellaneous businesses in Mojia village. Previously, Merton was to enable all the people of Mojia village to find a livelihood. Most of the selected projects are labor-intensive. Now that the form has changed, the pattern of Mojia village should change, and it can't be limited to its own village.

"Mojia village is recruiting!"
"The monthly salary is 300 Wen, the monthly salary of literate is 350 Wen, and the monthly salary of literate and accounting is 500 Wen!"
At each employment site in Chang'an City, one or two Mojia village teenagers shouted loudly with ink magazines.
The recruitment advertisement of Mojia village has once again triggered people's attention to education. This time, Mojia village has paid a lot of money. Although the temporary workers used to drive 50 Wen a day when drilling wells in Mojia experimental field, it is related to the harvest of Mojia experimental field. It is urgent and can only spend money to buy time.
The average worker's monthly salary of 300 Wen is definitely not low in Chang'an city. The price of 300 Wen a month is definitely the price of conscience, let alone the sky high price of 500 Wen.
For the first time, people found that knowledge was really linked to wealth. It turns out that the examination of merit and fame is indeed a way to become an official, but it is only the welfare of a small number of people. This recruitment in Mojia village makes people really know what books are and how little they hate when they are used.
"Five hundred words a month!"
Outside the south gate, several laborers talked together.
In Chang'an City, the news stirred up thousands of waves with one stone, and everyone who heard it sucked their tongue. 500 Wen was an absolute high salary in Chang'an city at that time.
"You're illiterate, don't think about it. People want people who can read and calculate accounts. It's good if you can get 300 Wen a month." a man in sackcloth teased the black faced man next to him. The word illiterate can be said to be the hottest word except Mohist this year. It's sour, but penetrating.
Three hundred Wen a month is also more than the current salary.
"What's the matter with 300 Wen? That's a lot. Don't you just rely on knowing a few words?" the black faced man said with shame and anger. Even 300 Wen in January is better than being precarious at the gate. That's a real income.
"That's 350 Wen a month!" the man in sackcloth said proudly.
"The old horse has developed this time! You have studied in a private school for two years and can keep accounts!" sighed a hemp man, who was powerful and looked at the thin man not far away with envy,
The old horse is the thinnest among them. He doesn't have much strength when he works at ordinary times. He pays the least among them every time. But the brain is flexible. Usually, the old horse helps people keep accounts and never misses it.
They are all ready to go to Mojia village to recruit workers this time, but the old horse turned over. Usually, the big men in black have the highest salary and the old horse has the least. Now Feng Shui turns around. It turns out that the old horse has the most and he has the least.
There are many similar events around Chang'an city. Many literate people choose to go to Mojia village, or their original owners raise prices to keep people.
For a moment, people with knowledge and knowledge became a hot commodity.
The business of short-term literacy classes like Zhou Chen is very hot. Everyone will calculate this account, so that their children can only spend 100 Wen in the first half of the year and earn it back in the next half a month.
In the past, there was not necessarily a way out if you spent more money on school. Now there are real interests in front of you, which naturally drives the rise of education.
Chang'an City, qunxianfang.
"Here it is?" Merton frowned and looked at a dilapidated alley in front of him. There were only two or three sporadic families in the alley, with sewage all over the intersection and piles of garbage. A bad smell came to my nose.
Tie'an also frowned and looked around warily. This place is usually the most chaotic.
"Young master! According to the news given by the tooth woman, there is no doubt here." Mo Er said. Mo Er is the smartest of the brothers. He is the most familiar in Chang'an city. He is usually responsible for helping Merton run errands.
Under the leadership of Mo Er, the party came to a dilapidated thatched house. The thatched house was very broken and the walls were full of cracks. It was obvious that it had been very old. It competed with the dangerous houses in Mojia village. Such houses are rare in Chang'an city.
Before entering the door, I heard a beating sound and a woman's cry.
"Surnamed Xu, if you know the truth, you will obediently agree to the childe's request, otherwise your family will never have peace!" a arrogant voice came from the room.
Merton frowned and said, "tiean, go and have a look!"
"Yes, young master!" said Tie'an. Tie'an dodged and went directly into the house!
Suddenly, a few screams came, and three green skins were thrown out of the house by tie an one by one.
"Who are you? I have nothing to do with Ma San!" the head Qingpi slowly got up, looked at tie an in fear and bluffed. But he saw tiean's force in front of him. The three of them couldn't move at all in tiean's hands, so they were thrown out.
"Aren't you afraid of the king's law if you disturb the people in broad daylight?" iron an Leng snorted.
"Hum! They owe me money!" Ma San said hard.
"We don't owe him money!" a boy about ten rushed out of the door and looked at Ma San and roared.
"Still don't go, want to continue to be beaten?" tie an shook his fist and raised his eyebrows.
Ma San suddenly felt empty in his heart. He looked at the iron tower like iron ANN, and then looked at the two teenagers at the door. He was obviously a noble family, but he couldn't afford to be provoked by a green skin.
"Xu, you're lucky this time!" Ma San looked at the house and said.
"Thank you for your help. Mr. Xu made me laugh." a middle-aged man of about 40 went out of the house and bowed to Merton. From his eyes, it was obvious that Merton was the leader of the three people.
"I dare ask, but Mr. Xu Jieshi!" Morton arched his hand.
"No, that's right. I dare ask you if it's important to find Xu." Xu Jie quickly replied.
"In Merton, xiamojia village, I sincerely invite Mr. to be the foreign affairs manager of my Mojia village." Merton said positively.
"Mojiazi!" Xu Jie was shocked. As a Chang'an man, he certainly knew the name of Merton. He didn't expect that the famous mojiazi in Chang'an City would come to invite him in person.
"Thank you for your kindness, young master. It's just that Xu offended a powerful family. Those green skins just now are just pawns. Thanks for your help, I don't dare to add trouble to the young master." Xu Jie said bitterly.
"Sir, is there a debt contract dispute!" Merton asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No!" Xu Jie shook his head
"Is there a lawsuit!" Merton asked again.
"Never" Xu Jie suddenly raised his voice.
"That Mo thinks he doesn't have any trouble," Morton said confidently
Xu Jie will never forget this day. A teenager gave him the greatest respect when he was at his most depressed.
