Chapter 288

Although Luoyang city is large, it is not as big as the state of Wu Zhou. No matter how big the state of Wu Zhou is, national affairs will eventually be solved in Chang'an city. In contrast, Luoyang city is rich, but not many people are really busy with national affairs, especially those ordinary people. Many of them lived in Luoyang City, some later moved to Luoyang City, and even some were originally rich families, Some of them have done some business and saved money, but they have not reached the standards of rich families. They just have to bite the bullet and buy a real estate in Luoyang for the future.

In short, all these humble people gathered together to have the current Luoyang City. Hundreds of thousands of people live in a city. It is very common in the era when Li Luoyang once lived. However, in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, not only the population is difficult to gather in a certain place, but its backward productivity can not allow too many people to gather together. The food, drink and Lhasa of hundreds of thousands of people is a big problem. Moreover, the cities in this era need walls, The larger the city, the higher the city wall, and the higher the city wall, the wider the footing, and the moat occupy a huge area around the city.

Therefore, there is little arable land around a city, which means there is a huge shortage of food supply. This shortage needs to be supplemented by transporting various materials of grain and vegetables from other places. However, transportation itself also needs to consume materials. In the Song Dynasty in history, this kind of transportation loss reached the exaggeration of three to one, that is, transporting three kilograms of grain needs to consume one kilogram of grain. Therefore, the more big cities, the higher the food price will be, Because the cost has increased.

Apart from grain, which is an important material, it is difficult to produce and manufacture all kinds of necessities in densely populated areas, because the land is used for living or forms a commercial area. With a large population and strong mobility, it can greatly improve the commercial estimation, but also greatly limit the development of production industry, Therefore, Luoyang City, which is regarded as a super large-scale city in this era, is not common in any country.

People living in such a big city naturally have both hardship and pleasure. Decades or even hundreds of years have passed. Most of them have been used to such a life. They either choose to become a small merchant or go to a rich family as an employee. In short, as long as they have hands and feet and are not lazy, they can live in Luoyang City after all.

Recently, however, these people have a new choice. Someone opened a market in Nancheng to recruit people, and the salary is very considerable. However, there are some special ways to recruit people this time. First, notices have been posted in many places such as the city gate to inform those who are willing to participate in the "Recruitment" that they must see clearly the recruitment requirements.

The word "Recruitment" is still a new word for everyone. Many people can't understand it. The words of recruitment are very popular. As long as you sign and draw a pledge, even if the recruitment is successful, but there is a word difference between recruitment and recruitment. What's the difference?

It is clearly mentioned in the notice that this is only the first round of recruitment, and all the recruits are technicians.

Another new word. There were craftsmen and craftsmen in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, but there were no craftsmen. What is a mechanic? It is explained in the notice that a mechanic is a skilled craftsman, so we can understand, but what kind of technology is called, or what kind of technology does the person who issues the notice need? Is gambling regarded as technology?

The notice also said that they currently need technicians in brewing, carpentry, ironmaking, papermaking and printing, and the salary is determined according to the technical level of the final assessment. The words "technical level" are easy to understand, but after seeing the salary, we are not calm.

Fifty two and one pots of Xianliang liquid can make an ordinary family in Luoyang live for a month. In other words, a common family in Luoyang consumes less than fifty Liang silver a month, but the salary announced on the notice is one hundred and fifty Liang for senior technicians, one hundred and twenty for middle-level technicians, fifty Liang for junior technicians and ten Liang for apprentices.

This kind of salary makes people who see the notice can't believe it, because the salary is simply too high. Even in a place like Luoyang city where there is an inch of land and an inch of gold, a skilled craftsman can't earn 50 liang of silver a month. Even his wife and children need to work part-time in order to meet his life. It can be said that before this cloth was reported, the craftsman was at the bottom of the whole society, In fact, this can be seen from the treatment of Li Chengzhen in Li's village.

Seeing this notice, those who think they have some skills are going crazy. If they are assessed as a senior craftsman and earn 150 Liang a month, isn't it more cost-effective than opening a small workshop? The owner is willing to take out the money that he can't earn even by opening a small workshop. What money does the owner make?

Xia Chong can't speak ice. Maybe this is the problem in his vision. Most people are crazy just seeing the salary. Only a few people will be patient to read down, such as when to start recruitment, where to recruit, and some conditions after being recruited.

These conditions are actually very important. For example, one of them: once the two sides sign a labor contract, the mechanic will not be able to take the initiative to terminate the relationship between the two sides, nor can he disclose the secrets of the production work, otherwise it will be regarded as a breach of contract and bear the responsibility for breach of contract.

We can understand and agree with the word breach of contract. After all, such a high salary should be punished if we can't do this, but the notice doesn't explain what punishment we need to bear. Fortunately, these are follow-up. The first is to meet the selection requirements of others.

The recruitment time is three days after the announcement, and the recruitment place is located in Wenjun Yazhu. It is said that anyone who can pass the selection can have a meal and drink two mouthfuls of Xianliang ye in Wenjun Yazhu on the same day.

Nowadays, the fame of xianliangye has spread widely in Luoyang. Many people take it as a show off. Drinking xianliangye has become a sign of showing off their wealth.

"Have you ever drunk Xianliang ye? It's a pity that you haven't. tut Tut, the wine should only be in the sky. It's rare to smell it in the world."

"Have you ever drunk immortal grain liquid? What, have you? Don't brag. Have you ever drunk a glass of wine for five Liang silver? Really, you bought a pot? Brother, you're brother. Tell me if the wine will turn into an immortal. Are you drunk? Have you clapped with the fairy in your dream when you're drunk? What, you don't know what clapping means? Listen to the voice. When clapping, it doesn't matter It's very loud. "
