After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 334 Disposal of Prisoners of War

Qu Chu was worrying about this matter, seeing what Mrs. Hua said, he said:
"I'm really worried about the whereabouts of these more than 8000 prisoners of war. The punishment is too heavy and it hurts peace, but it is not a good time to let them be disarmed and returned to the field.

If the old lady can help, I will be very grateful. "

Mrs. Hua said: "It's their blessing that the general is kind-hearted, and if I'm lucky enough to help them, it's also an honor for Washington."

Mrs. Hua came slowly:
"The Hua family has a large piece of porcelain clay mine at the intersection of Luo Mansion and Zhongdu. It has not planned to mine it on a large scale before, but it has just received a large overseas order not long ago and urgently needs to recruit a large number of people.

I thought that these rebels are strong and strong, so I called them, as for the wages..."

Speaking of wages, Madam Hua looked at Qu Chu.

"General, although they are prisoners of war, if you want them to settle down, I think they should be paid.

I plan to pay them 3% higher than the market price, but I have to sign a 3-year contract, [-]% will be paid first, and the remaining [-]% will be paid after the [-]-year expiration. What do you think? "

After turning his head, Qu Chu understood Mrs. Hua's intention of making this condition:
Attract them to work with a wage that is [-]% higher than the market price, but control them with [-]% of their wages, so that they dare not be too unreasonable.

"The old lady's suggestion is very good, but I am a little worried, worried about what trouble they will have."

Qu Chu's worry about trouble is not an excuse, but a genuine concern.

After all, there are more than 8000 people gathered together, and it is inevitable that they will feel resentful in the future if they are asked to do coolies.

Mrs. Hua immediately understood Qu Chu's concerns, she said with a smile:
“I recruited them not exactly for mining.

I plan to build porcelain kilns, workshops and living quarters near the large china clay mine. In the future, mining, kiln firing and porcelain making will all be gathered there, and will be built into a porcelain base there.

I believe they will agree after listening. "

Qu Chu didn't know what a factory building or base was, but she understood the general meaning, that is, everyone could work there and settle down in the future.

Qu Chu thought for a while:
"Madam, it's better than this. You follow me to meet them and tell them what you want. If they are willing, I will let them go with you."

Qu Chu thought: If you don't want to, just send them to different coal mines, copper mines, or iron mines.

Mrs. Hua said: "It's very good, thank you General."

While the two were talking, Jiaorui remained silent until Qu Chu stood up, and then Jiaorui got up to help Mrs. Hua.

……

More than 8000 prisoners of war were centralized and guarded by Qu Chu on the outskirts of Luo Mansion, and there were a lot of heads in Hei Yaya.

Qu Chu climbed to a high place and used his internal strength to spread the voice so that everyone could hear it.

"You belong to King Jiangcheng's private army. King Jiangcheng rebelled. According to the law, you are a party and will be sentenced to death. But God has the virtue of good life. Now His Majesty is kind, and I will give you a chance to repent..."

Qu Chu will let these 8000 people get paid to work.

These 8000 people are panicking, they are not sure what fate awaits them?Now hearing Qu Chu tell them to work and get paid, most people's hearts are moved.

After Qu Chu finished speaking, it was Mrs. Hua's turn to play.

Qu Chu asked Mrs. Hua to take a loudspeaker for military lectures.

Mrs. Hua took over the loudspeaker and began to speak:
"I am Mrs. Hua from Luofu. We in Washington plan to build a porcelain base at the intersection of Luofu and Zhongdu, including building houses, building porcelain kilns, mining porcelain clay mines, and firing porcelain. Everyone is welcome to join.

As for wages, different jobs will have different rewards, but no matter which one they are, they are all 20% higher than the wages on the market, but they need to sign a three-year contract, and 3% of the wages will be paid monthly. After the three-year contract expires Send out the remaining [-]%.

Although it is said that [-]% of the wages have not been paid, but because our wages are high, the actual wages you get every month are not much less than those outside, and after three years, you can still get a lot of money at once.

At that time, it is up to you whether you take the money to buy a house or marry a wife. "

Mrs. Hua then looked forward to the future scale and prospects of the porcelain base.It is said that it has established commercial and trade relations with overseas countries, and the porcelain produced by the porcelain base now built is sold overseas.

These more than 8000 soldiers have stayed in Jiangcheng for many years, and naturally they have heard how profitable overseas trade is, so they no longer doubt that Mrs. Hua is lying.

After Mrs. Hua finished speaking, some soldiers couldn't help asking: "Is what you said true?"

Mrs. Hua said:

"Naturally it is true.

With or without you, Washington will build this porcelain base, but it was originally planned to recruit workers from the private sector.Since His Majesty is kind and lenient to you, Washington will take over you.

But there is one thing:
If you sign a contract with Washington, then you are our employees in Washington, you are no longer soldiers, and you have to do things according to the standards of employees.If anyone dares to make trouble for no reason in the future, we in Washington will not be soft. "

After Mrs. Hua finished speaking, Qu Chu added:

"Huafu is the richest family in Luofu. Its properties are spread all over Dayu, and there are tens of thousands of people under it. Therefore, don't think that you can deceive the Lord by relying on the number of people in the future. Not only will the court punish you severely, but Huafu will also punish you." I'm afraid the government won't be able to accommodate you any longer."

Mrs. Hua accepted Qu Chu's words: "However, our Huafu has always been kind. As long as everyone works hard, Huafu will never treat its subordinates badly."

Mrs. Hua and Qu Chu sang together and cooperated tacitly.

More than 8000 soldiers whispered to each other.

Another soldier asked, "What will the imperial court do with us if we don't agree?"

Qu Chu said with a cold face: "The imperial court has many coal mines and copper and iron mines. If you don't want to go here, then work for the imperial court!"

The soldiers fell silent.

You can't get money for working for the court.

Another soldier asked: "After the contract expires in three years, if we don't want to do it anymore, can we leave?"

Mrs. Hua said: "After the three-year contract expires, it is natural to follow your wishes. I am afraid that you will be reluctant to leave when the time comes."

The soldiers whispered again.

Qu Chu didn't urge them either, and when the conversation faded, Qu Chu said, "If you want to be a hired worker in Washington, stand to the left."

As soon as Qu Chu finished speaking, some soldiers rushed to the left, and quickly, more than 8000 people stood to the left.

That's right, if you don't go to Washington to work, do you want to dig mines for the court for nothing?If you enter the imperial court's mine, you may not be able to get out for the rest of your life.

Seeing this, Mrs. Hua said: "I will have someone prepare the employment contract tomorrow, and everyone will sign it after seeing it clearly."
