Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

Chapter 211 The Way of the Lord

Chris returned home excitedly, immediately summoned his family and told everyone that the town wanted to recruit road workers.

Chris’s older brother, Corregie, was the most excited about the good news. He and Chris worked in the town for more than two months when the town was repairing the town’s main road, and received cash every day during that period. , After eating the good days of free lunch, I eagerly asked: "Did Operator Sam say what are the requirements for this recruitment?"

"No, as long as they are able to work." Chris said with a smile on his face, "It's still [-] copper coins a day. By the way, Sam also said that the work to be done this time will be more difficult, and the logistics department will give you Those who do the work provide two free meals!"

"Two meals!!" The whole family repeated in surprise.

On a farm like Chris’s, which has no land, the family’s life is entirely dependent on captive cows and free-range geese. Life is not much better than that of ordinary farmers; when there is a shortage of food, the family often can only eat at noon Decent lunch, before going to bed at night, I was really hungry and panicked, so I used milk to deal with my stomach-goose eggs must not be touched, and the salt that the whole family eats will fall on the goose eggs.

The opening of the town to supply very cheap eggs has had a certain impact on the Chris family's business, but because the salt is also very cheap, the life of the Chris family is a little better than before... At least the big goose in the family is down. My family can eat eggs.

The head of the Chris family, the old father who was over forty years old, immediately said: "There is not much work to do on the farm in winter. This time, you two brothers will bring your sisters too." Glancing at Chris' wife, this The elder said again, "Lilit is going too."

Before Chris could say anything, his wife Lillet Doyle said happily, "Good dad!"

"Lilit, the work on the construction site is very hard." Chris said to his wife quickly.

Lilit glared at her husband unhappily, and looked at her old father for help.

"Let Lilit go, you will stay at Mrs. Doyle's house when you go, just let Lilit accompany Mrs. Doyle." The head of Chris's family slowed down and said to Chris, "Don't Forgot to pay Mrs. Doyle, the family lives off the hotel."

Chris was not willing to let Lilit go through that kind of suffering, and he didn't dare to disobey his father, so he had no choice but to say: "Don't worry, Dad, Ke Leiji and I paid for the accommodation last time."

After the red-light district was swept away by the undead, there were no joy-seekers from other places, and Mrs. Doyle's family hotel was deserted for a while.

However, after the town began to recruit workers, Mrs. Doyle’s house gradually improved again—the Doyle couple changed their business model, and changed the previous rented rooms into bed fees, and placed four to six beds in each room. Beds and each bed only cost two copper coins a day to rent, which is very popular with migrant workers in the town.

The eldest brother Ke Leiji's wife, Nona, looked enviously at the happy and smiling Lilit, and hesitated to speak.

"Don't go, stay at home." The old father said, "You are just pregnant, and you are too tired at this time to be prone to accidents."

Nona lowered her head in disappointment.

Ke Leiji knew that his wife had always been yearning to go to the town, so he summoned up his courage and said, "Dad, let Nona go with us, she can't do the work on the construction site, but you can go to the logistics department to see... the town With so many workers to be recruited, the logistics department must be overwhelmed, maybe it will recruit people."

The old father frowned and looked at the eldest son.

Ke Leiji felt his wife pull down his clothes, and said more firmly: "Nona will go with us for a few days, if the logistics department really doesn't want anyone...then she'll come back."

The old father looked at his eldest son, then at Nona who was downcast and unhappy, and could only say: "Then... okay, you take care of her."

Korek happily shook his wife's hand, and a smile finally appeared on Nona's face.

Seeing that all the young people yearned for the town, the old father shook his head helplessly.

That night, the six young people who were about to go to the town were so excited that they chattered until late at night, and they didn't calm down until they were scolded by the old father.

Early the next morning, brothers Corregie and Chris took their wives and two unmarried younger sisters, together with their old father who resumed his work as a milkman, and set off from home before dawn.

Doyle and his wife were very happy to see their daughter Lily, whom they had not seen for a long time. Knowing from Chris that the town was going to recruit a large number of workers, Mrs. Doyle was even more happy to thank Ms. Gold Coin.

It was still early, and the six young people diligently helped Doyle clean up the room that had been vacant for a long time, and before noon, they cleaned the family hotel of the Doyle couple's family like a new one.

At Mrs. Doyle's strong request, the six of them ate lunch at Doyle's house before rushing to the town hall.

When they arrived, a lot of people had already gathered in the courtyard of the town hall and even on the street at the gate, either standing or sitting.

"I just said that you brothers will definitely come." Chris's uncle was also in the crowd, and he laughed when he saw them as a big family.

"My mother is at home." Chris greeted his uncle and his uncle's cousins ​​happily, and pulled the group of people he led to the bottom of the wall occupied by his uncle's house, "Auntie, won't my aunt come this time? "

Last time when the Chris brothers went to town to do odd jobs, the whole family came from the uncle's house, leaving only the youngest daughter at home to look after the fields.

"Your aunt did it on her own." The uncle laughed, "Didn't the town hall sell cheap chickens and ducks last time? Your aunt was greedy, and bought dozens of them to raise. I can’t get away, those chickens and ducks can’t be watched by anyone.”

"Are all those chickens and ducks fed?" Ke Leiji's wife Nona asked curiously.

"It's not that easy, it's almost half dead." The uncle waved his hand and said, "The clerk at the town hall clearly said that if a chicken was found to be mentally ill, it should be isolated and raised immediately, and if it died, it would be buried. Your aunt is reluctant, The little chickens could hardly stand up, and she insisted on dragging them, but one infected another, and it got worse and worse... Fortunately, the rest of the chickens were raised, otherwise the cornmeal would have been wasted."

This year's agricultural tax payment is low, and most families have surplus food, otherwise not many people are willing to feed cornmeal to chickens.

The two families squatted together in a corner and chatted about family affairs, waiting for the people from the town hall to come out and post the notice.

If they were the only ones who came over, they might wonder if the town really wanted to recruit people, but since there were many people from the town among the waiting crowd, then the matter must have gone away—there are many people in the town Working in the factories of the town hall, these people are well-informed.

Just as he was waiting patiently, curses mixed with local slang suddenly came from beside him, and some people screamed in fright.

Chris, Corregie, uncle, and uncle's cousins ​​got up instinctively, protecting the female family members who were traveling with them behind them, and then looked at the source of the confusion in amazement.

On the other side of the town hall gate, there seemed to be quite a few people pushing each other and shaking their fists. Due to the chaos and the constant movement of the people, it was unclear what was going on there.

The two families were terrified and wondering what happened. Several uniformed security officers rushed out from the town hall, pushed away the crowd blocking the way and rushed into the center of the chaos, shouting and cursing the professional-level Violence against violence" quickly quelled the commotion.

The security guards are all former militiamen. Although the behavior of these people is much better than before after they surrendered to the new lord, and they no longer beat people in the street casually and eat for free, the local people’s fear of these former militiamen is still there. , Hulala scattered far away without the security guard shouting, allowing the Chris family, who had been guarding in front of the wall all the time, to see clearly the situation in the field.

Let's take a look... well, sure enough, you can't provoke people from the security team. After a while, more than a dozen people were beaten to the ground by them...

After quickly putting down the troublemakers and the sufferer, the security officer asked the reason impatiently: "Who did it first? Tired of work and went to fight at the gate of the town hall?!"

A few young men who were dressed similarly to Chris’s family, whose peasant attributes could be seen from the sandals on their feet and the mud on their trousers, struggled to sit up. Humanity: "It's them, they beat people!"

This group was obviously larger than the young farmer's group. There were seven or eight people. The clothes were not of good material, but they were all relatively clean, and there were round-toed leather boots on their feet that only the townspeople were willing to wear.

"Why beat someone!" The security guard casually found someone close to him and kicked him.

"Aiyo!" The unlucky ghost who was kicked hurriedly propped up his upper body to avoid, and was so angry that he didn't dare to speak to the security team, so he could only shout loudly, "We didn't beat them, they hit us first!"

"How do you say you didn't beat someone? You obviously saw you beat someone!" The young farmer exclaimed aggrievedly.

The security officer is obviously very good at dealing with this kind of wrangling. He glared and said viciously: "Be careful what you say, this is the entrance of the town hall! Do you think the mayor of the undead can't even see through guys like you? Give it all to me Tell the truth! Anyone who dares to lie will be sent to the prisoner road construction team to do hard work, Mr. Hal is not as easy to talk to as us!!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the youths in the town who were accused of beating people changed...

Until half a month ago, when the residents of the town passed by the detention center, they could basically see the repertoire of Hal Maxwell brutally beating the criminals in custody every day.

Frightened, this group of beating town youths had no choice but to stammer and tell the truth...

Not long after, the skirmish that happened at the gate of the town hall was reported to Ji Tang and Tuttle Joe who were busy doing accounts.

"People in the town think that farmers have robbed them of their jobs? Is there such a stupid thing??" Hearing this, Tuttle almost laughed angrily.

During this period of time, he has been forced into his mind by an undead with new knowledge that is extremely difficult to digest, and his headache is almost exploding. Isn't it just to make life easier for the people of Westem?He is dizzy with the book full of accounts, and the locals who are full outside still have the strength to fight among themselves. Is it because he thinks his bow is not strong enough and his arrows are not strong enough?

"Calm down, Joe." Ji Tang became much calmer. "It's normal for the crowd to have conflicts. Don't transfer your anger on yourself to the people."

Tuttle's face froze, and then he became angry: "What do you want to say? Do you think I'm stupid and look down on me?"

"I mean, we should adopt the correct way to deal with conflicts among the masses, for example, why are they unwilling to live in peace? Where is the point of their conflict?" Ji Tang remained calm, "For example, this matter, the town The young people on the street think that farmers are robbing them of their jobs, which is untenable first of all, because more than 80% of our factories are town residents, and less than 20% come from peasant families.”

"Why is there such a big difference? Could it be that we give special treatment when recruiting workers? Of course not, our factory recruits people regardless of their background, only whether they have the corresponding working ability." Next, Ji Tang looked at Tuttle with encouraging eyes, "You should remember which dimension we measure work ability from?"

Tuttle held back for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Knowledge level."

"Yes, this is the key point. Our workers need to operate machinery and be able to do simple calculations. Illiterate people are not competent." Ji Tang praised authentically, "During the rectification of the main road in the town, our education department treated all participants equally. Temporary workers at work who provide voluntary literacy, who can recognize [-] commonly used characters and can add and subtract within [-], are considered to be out of illiteracy."

"Many of the townspeople have studied in private classrooms for several months or half a year when they were young, and their foundation is better than that of farmers. Therefore, the proportion of townspeople who are literate is higher, and they have an advantage when applying for workers."

"However, not all the townspeople are satisfied with their advantages over farmers. For example, the town now thinks that their job opportunities have been taken away by farmers." Ji Tang said, "And this small group People, according to the floating population statistics of the Department of Civil Affairs, are the young and middle-aged people who 'returned' to the town from Innadris after we drove out the Butlers family. Qualified, and can't accept that I am inferior to other townspeople, of course I can only blame the farmers who account for less than 20% of the quota."

"I really don't know good from bad!" Tuttle scolded immediately.

"What do you think is the most appropriate way to deal with this situation?" Ji Tang said.

"Of course it's thrown away as a free hard labor. Does it matter?" Tuttle asked.

Ji Tang didn't speak, just looked at the handsome ranger with caring eyes.

"What kind of eyes do you have?! Shouldn't such a bastard who doesn't know what's good or evil should be punished!!" Tuttle frowned.

Ji Tang shook his head, sighed and said, "Add literacy classes! You sit in the seat of the lord, and the people of Westham are your people. They can be punished if they do something wrong, but the ultimate purpose of punishment is education. How can you fight against the people? The people are short-sighted, so teach them to see the long-term. The people are not competitive in employment, so what should be considered is how to let your people, whether they are townspeople or villagers, get promotion opportunities uniformly. !"

"Why do we build roads at this time? It is to gather the young and middle-aged people in the town and the countryside together. The town will carry out infrastructure construction, and the people will have jobs. The young and middle-aged people who work together will also facilitate us to carry out second-level literacy and advance literacy. Prepare qualified workers for the expansion of the factory next year... Isn't this obvious at a glance?"

Tuttle: "..."

He doesn't blink like the undead!He can't see that long at a glance! !
