Demon Sage

v4 Chapter 23: alliance of interests

Renas in May, it has been half a month since Donald entered the Talos family manor.

Summer has not yet arrived, and the hot weather is already looming.

The sun shines on what was once a slum and is now a residential area, and the atmosphere here is as hot as the ambient temperature.

A simple greenhouse was erected on the right side of the dilapidated block, and someone moved seven or eight long tables and chairs. The heads of several construction teams from Renas went to this station, and a recruitment office was 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 also receive 7p a day and two meals a day!"

"Fussen Street needs a few people to help demolish the abandoned house. The daily salary is 6p, and the food and beverages are all included!"

The person in charge of each construction team was shouting hard, and a wooden sign with the treatment was erected in front of the table, for fear that people might not hear it clearly.

The people in the slums have never seen such battles. You must know that although Renas used to build construction projects a lot in the past, they were generally concentrated in the wealthy areas. Today, whose courtyard will be expanded, and whose villa will be renovated tomorrow. , This type of project does not need too many people, and the salary is very high. However, the rich people are all very particular about people. Even if the construction team is hired, they must be professional workers. Where can they get them.

"Sir, are you going to work in another city?"

Some people think that the nearby city needs helpers. After all, the daily salary of this kind of coolie is usually just pennies, and you have to bring your own food.

"Of course not. Haven't you read the recent Renas Daily? We will all be blessed!"

The person in charge of the Senge construction team held the table top with both hands and shouted to the more and more people around him,

"Our mayor, Lord Talos, because he was guided by the black-robed saint, is determined to rest Renas and build residential buildings and various public facilities for you for free!"

"The government wants to build us houses? How is this possible? It would be nice not to demolish our houses."

The reputation of the Reinas city government is really worrying in the eyes of these civilians. Many people not only do not believe it when they hear this, but also think that this is a new round of enclosure operations by the government.

"It's clearly written in the newspapers, and the project I just paid for from the government's bidding fair is the street where you are standing now. Construction will start in three days. Residential buildings, there will also be a variety of shops”

The strong man in the brown vest stood on 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 Chengxi District, where several blocks are under construction. We all have a deadline for completion, and I can't tell you this group of people. I repeat, I 15 strong laborers are needed here, working 9 hours a day, including lunch breaks, 5p a day, meals, good work and bonuses, is there anyone here?"

Having said that, the next thing is simple. The people of Renas are in need of making money now. Who wants to miss this kind of work that pays high wages and can do 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 of the project proposed by the Renas City Government in the first round of tenders launched a week ago covers almost one-third of the urban area. According to those who have been there, as long as the bidding is successful, the project will be allocated on site and a few boxes of gold will be allocated. Pounds are on the stage!

It's just that because there were too few engineering teams in the city, 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 working on a project must make money, so in just three days, a large number of construction teams have emerged in the city of Renas, and the Senge construction team is one of them.

If the construction team wants to work, there must be no shortage of 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 are men, some of them need strength. There is no way. There is really not enough manpower. After all, they all signed contracts with the government and must be 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 jail 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, and he is an aristocrat among the nobles. Anyone who deceives him and gets caught will not be interrogated. Yes, just send it directly to the gallows.

In a black car outside the recruitment boom on the street, Donald looked at the situation outside and said with a faint smile: "The best way to stabilize the hearts of Renas City is not to give people Instead of handing out items, we help people who spend their days doing nothing to find a job that is exhausting enough for them to earn a satisfying paycheck!"

The people at the bottom 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. This is why Donald has been so eager to promote the first phase of the city's construction in the past two weeks. one of the reasons.

Squinting his eyes, he felt the power of faith growing stronger in his mind, and the smile on Donald's face became stronger. Recently, he seemed to be quite effective from the double propaganda of the official and the people.

While it will be quite some time before Reyna is turned into a place like the Howling Forest, it's certainly a good start.

"Your decision is really convincing, transforming the existing blocks and turning the scattered residential buildings into unified residential buildings, which not only facilitates management and saves the construction cost of public facilities to the greatest extent, but also frees up a large area of ​​land to build factories. With commercial shops, the original worthless land has become a commercial lot for major chambers of commerce. This method not only solves the employment problem in the short term, appeases the hearts of Renas, but also saves government costs and avoids financial crisis. , At the same time, we attracted the Chamber of Commerce to let them see the business opportunities and take the initiative to help you build Renas. In the end, we might be able to get a lot of income by leasing the land in the prime area. The city government will not only not lose money, but will Do more than one thing!"

Huxley is now completely convinced by the new owner's business methods. He used part of the funds in the family warehouses that had been destroyed before as start-up capital. Every next step is to use the power of the outside world to develop thunder. At the same time, Nas took 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 the vacated land can be developed in the short term, we will make a lot of money! "

What made the most money in Donald's past life society? Putting aside those methods written in the criminal law, real estate is definitely the leader in the first echelon!

Today, Donald, as 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, his previous life can be said to have been in vain. ten years.

"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, I just said that I wanted a rough prototype. I haven't responded yet?"

The "Factory Law" was specially formulated by Donald to regulate the factories in the city of Reyna. He wanted to seek faster development and conform to the wave of the industrial revolution that has gradually emerged throughout the Lein Empire. The chaos in Reina's 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 obviously more advanced and special. Of course he wants to get in 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 idly by the promulgation of the "Factory Law"~www.mtlnovel. com~ Although we are here to make the industry of Reynas faster, in their eyes, this is a development at the expense of their interests and it is true."

The Renas City government has been too condoning to these capitalists and aristocrats in the past, allowing them to taste enough sweetness in exploiting the people, employing child labor, and working far beyond normal working hours. Come at your fingertips.

It turns out that these guys may be slow at other things, but they're smarter than anyone else when it comes to making their own money.

"It's on, how far are they going to go home first?"

Donald rolled up the window and asked Huxley in the driver's seat.

"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."

The recent series of changes in Reinas City are all seen by these people. The Talos family silently swallowed all the properties of those families and spared no effort to promote the black-robed saint through government channels. His behavior undoubtedly touched the sensitive nerves of these families.

Even in the upper class of Renas, there were rumors that this black-robed saint was actually a good play directed and acted by Serveit Talos, in order to steal the property of those families.

They didn't dare to confront the Talos family head-on, so naturally they had to find other ways to safeguard their own interests.

"These people are a problem. I have been busy sorting out the affairs of Renas City recently. I forgot that these people exist and I have to find a chance to reason with them."

Donald is not worried about this kind of alliance of interests. Since it is the interests that made them go, it will also make them part ways.
