Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1531, it's cool
"Why does your factory come to the road to recruit people?"

Liu Jin came to Zijin Textile Factory and asked.

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Wang Dashan looked Liu Jin up and down again. Liu Jin was well dressed, handsome and unrestrained, accompanied by personal guards, and then looked at Wang Shouren, who was also similar, and immediately knew that the two men in front of him Bits are not ordinary people.

"If you go back to the son, our factory really can't recruit people, so there is no way, the boss ordered us to come here on the way into the city to recruit people."

"Not only on this road, but also on several other major roads into the city, we have people recruiting again."

"There is no way. The business in the factory is very good. The cloth produced here is not enough to sell. The business is booming. The owner is planning to expand a few more factories this year."

"But I don't know what's going on. Not even half of the workers who worked in the factory last year came back this year. They wanted to recruit people, but found it difficult to recruit people. It seems that everyone is unwilling to work in the factory. .”

Wang Dashan sighed helplessly.

"The situation in other factories is similar to yours, right?"

Wang Shouren on the side frowned, thought for a while and asked.

"Yes, everyone's situation is actually similar, not just our Zijin Textile Factory, the situation of other factories is also similar."

"The number of workers returning to work this year is basically less than half, and some factories even have only one-tenth of it. This has greatly affected the resumption of work in our factories."

"The owners of many factories are now anxious like ants on a hot pot, because if some orders cannot be delivered on time, they will lose their trust."

"So everyone is recruiting people now, and all kinds of methods have been used, but there are still not enough people."

Wang Dashan nodded and pointed to the many recruits on both sides of the road.

"Do you know what may be the reason why everyone is unwilling to come back to work?"

Wang Shouren asked hastily again.

"What else could be the reason? At the end of last year, those big factories deliberately didn't pay their workers wages. Everyone worked hard for a year for their employers. Now it's the end of the year. Hooligans came to beat people, and many people were beaten into cripples."

"This incident broke everyone's heart."

"Many people have said that they will never work for Nanjing people again, and many people choose to go to Songhu. There are also many factories in Songhu, so they don't have to worry about finding jobs."

"Actually, the ones that don't pay wages are those big families and big factories, and our small and medium-sized factories and workshops. They all paid everyone wages in full, and they didn't owe a penny."

"But now everyone is afraid. Those people have ruined the reputation of our Jinling people and made it stink. This has spread ten or ten times. Driven by hundreds of thousands of people, naturally no one wants to come to Nanjing. .”

Wang Dashan shook his head helplessly while speaking.

"The impact is so great, it's not all about getting paid in the end."

Wang Shouren frowned deeply.

This matter is really difficult.

The factory did not pay wages, so he, Wang Shouren, could have directly confiscated the factory owner and used money to pay wages to everyone.

But this worker is unwilling to come to Nanjing to work, so he really has no choice. It's not just one or two people, but hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of people are unwilling to come to Nanjing to work again.

Once this reputation is ruined, it really cannot be salvaged.

"When you get wages, it should be taken by everyone."

"The key is this matter, it chills everyone's hearts."

"Everyone has worked hard for the boss for a year, and the salary is settled every year, because everyone trusts the boss."

"If this owner is really in trouble, tell everyone well and give a date. Even if everyone can't get their wages at the end of the year, then they will understand."

"But it's not that they don't have money. The efficiency of the factory is very good. They have made a lot of money, but if they have money, they don't pay everyone wages. They also hire local hooligans to beat workers who ask for money, and many people are disabled by beating."

"This incident has really chilled everyone's hearts. Naturally, no one is willing to believe it anymore, and no one is willing to come to Jinling."

"If you don't come here to work, it's not that you can't live. In this day and age, you can live well wherever you go."

"The people here in Songhu are full of jobs. If you don't have to immigrate to go overseas, you can live a leisurely and leisurely life. Why come to Nanjing to suffer and suffer, and you have to be wronged."

"I myself work for others, that is to say, my boss has always been kind to me, so I have been doing things for my boss all the time. To put my heart into my heart, if it were me, I would not come to Nanjing anymore."

"But this Nanjing is not just the Nanjing of those unconscionable big families and gentry, it is also the Jinling of every ordinary Nanjinger."

"There are tens of thousands of factories in Nanjing. Most of the factory owners are actually very good. They are good to the workers. There is a factory owner who was unlucky last year and lost money. He has no money at the end of the year. All the houses that came down were sold, and the wages were also paid to the workers in full."

"You can't beat everyone to death with one stick. There are good and bad, and it's the same everywhere."

"It's just that those people have ruined the reputation of us Nanjing people, not only harming themselves, but also harming other people in Nanjing."

"In fact, it's not just a problem that factories can't find people anymore, but other industries have been affected a lot."

"In the past at this time, the factory had already started construction and was busy. Buildings were also rising rapidly on the construction site. The commercial street was always crowded with people and the tide was surging. No matter what business you did, it was easy to do."

"But now, the factories are deserted, and many construction sites are closed. There are no workers, and the buildings cannot be built. The business on the commercial street has also become sluggish. There is even no business for buying breakfast. Many people They have all returned the shop, and are going to visit Songhu.”

"It's much deserted and there are too many people. Even the price of houses has started to drop. It used to cost more than five hundred taels of silver for a house, but now it seems that no one wants it for more than four hundred taels."

Wang Dashan is constantly complaining about the changes here in Jinling. He is a native of Jinling, and he has the most direct feelings about it.

The big city that was originally noisy and bustling suddenly lost a lot of people, and suddenly became deserted. It was difficult to do business, and everything changed.

"My fellow, my fellow, our Jinling Textile Factory has recruited workers, and the wages are paid 65 taels a year. There is also a newly built dormitory building with rooms for couples."

"No, no, I came to Jinling to take the train to Tianjin."

"Ghosts will do things for you Nanjing people."

"That's right, that's right, it's fine if you don't get paid for what you do, and you will be beaten."

"We didn't expect to be crippled by Dacheng. You Nanjing people are powerful. We can't afford to provoke you, and you can't hide from us."

Seeing a group of people going to the city, Wang Dashan hurried forward to recruit workers enthusiastically.

"The two nobles have also seen it, and the situation is like this~"

"This year, it's difficult!"

Wang Dashan came back and said to Liu Jin and Wang Shouren with a smile.

Both Liu Jin and Wang Shouren frowned, returned to the carriage, and the carriage continued to walk into Nanjing City.

"Don't go back in a hurry, go to various places."

Liu Jin told his entourage that after the carriage entered the city, it also began to wander around the entire Nanjing city.

Liu Jin and Wang Shouren sat on the four-wheeled carriage and looked carefully.

As Wang Dashan said, the entire city of Nanjing looks very depressed at this moment.

In the past, there was a lot of traffic and people coming and going, it was very lively, there were many people in each street, and the business of the shops was also quite prosperous.

But now, the roads are deserted, there are fewer cars and horses coming and going, and there are fewer pedestrians. As for the shops and the like, many of them have been closed, and there are signs of transfer, sublease, and lease.

When you come to the factory area, you can see recruiting signs everywhere in the factories, with good remuneration, including food and lodging.

As for the inside of the factory, it used to be very busy and the roar of the machines was endless, but now, the factories are deserted and empty, and there are sad-faced bosses sitting at the door, looking left and right to see if anyone is coming to work.

Whenever an old worker comes back, these employers will immediately go forward to greet them with a smile on their face, give a red envelope, warm welcome, and don't forget to have a good chat and ask how the Chinese New Year is going, come back Is it cold on the road, is everything okay at home, etc.

"What should I do now~"

Wang Shouren's brows were always furrowed, the impact of this incident was too great.

There are only people who have everything. This big city that was thriving and developing rapidly suddenly lost a lot of people, hundreds of thousands of people, plus the families of these hundreds of thousands of people and the fellow townships and villages that were influenced by them.

Wang Shouren estimated that this year Nanjing City will lose at least a million people, and the situation may even become more serious, which means that Nanjing City will lose a quarter of its people.

Moreover, these people are all young and strong labor force, and they are the main force supporting Nanjing's development and prosperity. Without so many people, how can Nanjing not be depressed?

There was no one, so naturally he couldn't do anything else. Originally, Wang Shouren was still planning to build the Yangtze River Bridge. Now that Nanjing is going to be cold, he, the chief envoy, is very anxious.

"If the hearts of the people are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team. If the reputation is bad, it will be too difficult to recover."

Liu Jin shook his head, there was nothing he could do about it.

Daming has confirmed too many places, people are needed everywhere, the people of Daming can live well wherever they go, there is no need to come here to suffer this grievance, and it may not be easy for Nanjing to develop rapidly in the future.
