Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 147 Changes in Recruitment Methods
On the way, Chai Lin, Chai Yong, and Pang Wanchun rode among the team.

This battle solved the safety problem of Dinghai Port, and the construction of the dock will no longer be hindered after the beginning of spring.Chai Lin was still very satisfied, and Chai Lin said: "Through this battle, what insights do you have?"

Pang Wanchun said: "Crouching Tiger Cannon, the Great General's cannon is very powerful, and the light cavalry is probably going to fall behind."

"Then you are wrong if you think so. The cavalry and archery of the light cavalry battalion is the peak of the development of the light cavalry. We are small, only 100 people, and the cavalry and archery are just at the beginning, and the tactics are still immature. If we can have One hundred thousand elite cavalry and archers can definitely sweep the northern countries. As for why the Crouching Tiger Cannon is so powerful, it is mainly because the enemy has never seen this kind of weapon before, and the queue is too dense to disperse. The characteristics of the Crouching Tiger Cannon are not so powerful." Chai Lin said.

Chai Yong said: "The artillery has many flaws, and there is no perfect unit in the world. This time we are facing a group of fishermen with weapons. If we face a strong enemy next time, it will not be so easy."

Pang Wanchun deeply believed that although the artillery was powerful, it had to rely on other arms for protection.At least dozens of arrows can be fired in the time it takes to fire a cannon.

Back at the barracks, there was nothing important to do recently, Chai Lin focused on military training, and the newcomers Dian Zhengnan, Xie Zhen, and Xie Bao also actively participated in it and were familiar with the rules of the army.

While training new recruits, Chai Lin also worked hard on himself, training firecrackers, bows and arrows, horizontal knives, fists and feet for more than eight hours a day.

Dengzhou, the port recruitment point, has fewer and fewer strong men from Qingzhou. From the very beginning, it recruited 50 people a day, and now it recruits [-] or [-] people a day, which is very small.

Shi Xiu told the clerk: "Today, [-] workers are going to be sent back to Cangzhou. You write a letter by the way. Now it is very difficult to recruit workers here. After all, Qingzhou is four or five hundred miles away from Dengzhou. What about my brother?" mean."

"Okay, I'll write it now." The secretary said
Jin Cuihua, who was in charge of making pancakes and meals, said beside him, "Master Shi, there is a saying that I don't know if I should say it or not."

Shi Xiu said: "Sister Jin, please speak up if you have something to say, our Chaijiazhuang is not a joke, so feel free to speak up if you have anything to say."

Jin Cuihua said: "Boxing County of Qingzhou borders Wuli County and Leling County of Cangzhou, and it is very convenient to communicate with each other. If workers can be recruited from the junction of Wuli County in Boxing, the effect will be good. But I feel that we need to change the way, such as As long as they are selected, a hundred catties of sorghum will be distributed first, and many people will definitely come, because many poor people eat grass and bark."

Shi Xiu suddenly realized that the distance from Wuli to Chaijiazhuang was estimated to be more than 200 miles.

As Jin Cuihua said, many people over there are starving to death, and the whole family is waiting for food to survive. At this time, if one hundred catties of food is distributed in advance, no matter if it is for one month or two months, it will be useless. questionable.

Shi Xiu said happily: "Sister Jin's method is very good, I think it is feasible. Documents, write this proposal, today just happens to be sent to Cangzhou by the Clippers today."

"Okay, shopkeeper Shi." The paperwork brushed and wrote these proposals of Jin Cuihua.

There was no wind that day, and dozens of sailors on the hired clipper took turns to row the oars.

A few days later, Chai Lin approved it.Chai Lin requested that this recruitment site continue to be retained, and that Shi Xiu keep two capable workers. Without general workers, he could recruit blacksmiths, carpenters, stonemasons, masons, veterinarians, doctors, clerical workers, and other skilled workers. Chaijiazhuang skilled workers were well paid. High, general skills can get one or two taels of silver a month, and if you are a senior skilled worker, more than ten taels of silver a month is not a problem.

After receiving the letter, Shi Xiu acted quickly. She visited Mrs. Gu and Uncle Zou Yuan on the same day, and arranged for them to help take care of the recruitment site.What Shi Xiu left behind were two old men who followed the horse dealers, and then brought three men, two logistics, and the last dozen or so miners recruited, and rushed to Cangzhou on a centipede boat.

All the way without a word, arrived at Chaijiazhuang and rested for three days.

Shi Xiu called Jin Cuilan and Li Dani over and said, "It's already the twelfth lunar month of winter, and when we arrive in Boxing County, we mainly distribute food, so we don't need the two of you to cook with us. The housekeeper sent you two to the pancake shop, Professional pancakes."

"Okay." The two said.

The accountant came over and said, "Jin Cuilan, your bonus for this month is 150 Wen. Li Dani, your bonus is 120 Wen."

Each person was given a string of copper coins, Jin Cuilan was still puzzled, what they said was that they only cared about eating and drinking, and didn't pay wages. During this period of time, they ate and drank well, and the work was not too tiring, so they didn't expect to have money.

"Thank you, shopkeeper Shi." The two said.

Shi Xiu explained: "Although it is said that there is no wages, the owner of Chai Zhuang is kind-hearted and will definitely not let everyone suffer. You two work hard and do things seriously, and the bonus will still be paid. From next month there will be two Baiwen's salary is already paid, plus bonuses, and he will make a lot of money in a year, so let's work hard."

"Thank you, shopkeeper Shi, then the two of us will go to the pancake shop."

Someone took the two of them to work in the pancake workshop. The pancake workshop is located in a yard in the east village of Chaijiazhuang. The yard is not big, more than 200 square meters, and there are ten griddles in the yard.

The director of the pancake shop is not very old, in his twenties, from the village of Chaijiazhuang.

"Are you two newcomers, Jin Cuihua and Li Dani?" the supervisor asked.

"Yes." The two handed in their badges for the supervisor to check.

The supervisor registered the waist card and said: "The pancake workshop has the rules of pancakes. The work is not heavy. There are two teams, one to light the fire and the other to make cakes. One hundred catties of flour per day is enough. Usually two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. If you can't complete the task, you have to work overtime, and you have to work overtime in special circumstances. You have four days off every month. You can go out freely on the rest day, but you must report if you want to travel far.

Matters needing attention, first pay attention to hygiene, wash hands and face before going to work, wear work clothes, and take off work clothes after work.

Second, it is not allowed to steal food while working, and it is strictly forbidden to gossip about the boss and the west.Third, if you are not feeling well, report to rest immediately, and you are not allowed to work with illness.have you understood? "

"Understood." The two said.

The supervisor went on to say: "The monthly salary is two renminbi, and the bonus ranges from 150 to [-] renminbi. If you do a good job, you will get a bonus. If you do not do well, you will be fired. It is not easy to go out. I don't want any of you to be fired. In addition, let me remind you that there are many forbidden places in the village, and trespassing is strictly prohibited, so don't be curious to visit, otherwise no one will be able to protect you."

"Don't worry, the supervisor, we will work hard and never mess around." The two said.

The two went to the room to wash up, changed into work clothes and started working.This is not an easy job. The cooking of pancakes in a griddle is all about the heat. If the fire is too high, it will burn easily, but if the fire is low, it will be slow to cook.What is burned is dry leaves and hay as fuel, and there are some skills in lighting the fire, so the burning should be even.One hundred catties of noodles can make about [-] pancakes, and the four-hour working time is almost non-stop, so I can take a break at noon.

More than a dozen women in the workshop are from Qingzhou, and they have common topics when they are not working, so they are not too boring.There is nothing to say in life, pancakes, rice porridge, pickles, cabbage, and occasionally shrimp skin and bone soup, which are unimaginable in the usual days, exceeding 90.00% of ordinary families.

　Ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets.
