Chapter 124 Recruitment
The morning sun crossed the endless horizon, casting bright morning light on the misty Thebes River.

With the ringing of the bell, the security guard on duty in the Xinglan Industrial Park rang the cast iron bell next to the sundial, announcing that the intense and orderly production work in the industrial park had kicked off again in a new day.

As usual, Robin Malady asked his fifteen furnace workers to recite the safety production regulations of the brick factory and completed the daily safety production education. The furnace workers at the fire have handed over their shifts and are ready to start today's work.

If it is summer, the huge wheel kiln is enough to steam a person alive, but in the cold winter of Helgana, under the huge demand of building materials for the multiple construction work carried out in the Xinglan Industrial Park, the building will never stop The wheel kiln, which exudes amazing heat, has become the favorite place for the employees of the brick factory to stay. As long as they are not too close, they can feel the warmth of spring.

"Furnace chief! There is no problem with the current fire, when will we start moving the fire?"

A young furnace team leader, shirtless, opened the furnace mouth with an iron braze to see the coal burning inside, and asked Robin loudly.

From the beginning, they often failed to grasp the heat, which led to the high rate of broken bricks in the wheel kiln. Now almost every kiln can meet the standard. They, the former ordinary people in the slums, have gradually become a Qualified brick factory employees.

"Wait another hour, Bunyan! I read the records left by the third group, they have already warmed up at night!"

Robin put down the production record sheet and said to his furnace worker team leader, then turned around and saw his factory manager——Edmund Sully.

"Good morning! Factory manager, why are you here!"

Seeing Edmund, Robin immediately put down what he was doing and greeted him with a smile on his face.

Although Edmund is nearly 20 years younger than him, he has the power to hire and fire 140 regular employees in the brick factory and more than 400 employees. Even for this power, Robin has to do his best To curry favor with this factory director who is not a few years older than his own son.

"Well, good morning, Robin! Cotton and you guys are coming too! The boss has a new job for us to deal with."

Edmund was no longer the shy young man he was at the beginning. He greeted his subordinates calmly, and then called the four furnace chiefs who were on duty in the brick factory for the day shift.

In their unexpected eyes, Edmund handed them a stack of leaflets that smelled like ink, and carefully told them:
"This is a recruitment flyer for the new army. After you read it, publicize it to the young men under your command, and then explain it to the hired workers after get off work to see if anyone is willing to join the new army."

"Join the army? Factory manager, I'm afraid..."

Unexpectedly, the factory director came to him and others for such a thing, and Robin, who was a little surprised, suddenly showed a embarrassed look.

Joining the army is always something that people in the slums can't avoid.

Because the loss of an important working-age labor force that was brought up with great difficulty is definitely an extremely heavy blow to the families in the slums.

Moreover, in the imperial capital, the sources of soldiers recruited by the Military Affairs Office will go differently depending on the source. For example, the people living in the imperial capital, most of the soldiers they provide will be used to supplement the first guards stationed near the imperial capital. Division and the Second Guards Division.

The people in the slums are not much different from the free people in the countryside. The children who are conscripted in the family often need to be allocated based on luck.

It's okay to be in the middle of the country, and maybe there is a chance to send back the pitiful military salary to subsidize his family.

If they are assigned to serve in other parts of the empire, they may not be able to send back a letter in a year, let alone send back money.Moreover, it takes five years for a round of service, and many people who are often recruited may lose all news because of this.

Under such circumstances, when everyone heard that the Military Affairs Administration was about to start conscription, they avoided as much as they could, and tried their best to avoid the limelight. Anyway, the empire lacking a household registration system could not manage people in the slums most of the time.

It's just that the Military Affairs Administration also has countermeasures, that is, to entrust the conscription to the gray organization, and to give each soldier five silver mare's settling allowance to the gray organization, and the gray organization will provide the soldiers they need in full.

As for how the gray organization achieves the task, the imperial officials don't care at all. Whether it is a rough door-to-door to directly pull away the boy who meets the age requirement, or a relatively gentle lottery in the block, the people in the slums can only accept it. Otherwise, they will face the dilemma of not being able to find a job to support their families.

Over time, everyone's face changed drastically when they talked about conscription.

"Don't worry! Boss Xia Lin told me this. Boss Xia Lin is an officer of the new army. Do you think the boss might harm us? Just look at the treatment of recruits on the leaflet and you will know that it is not difficult at all. !"

Edmond, who was lucky enough not to be drawn after three draws, naturally knew why Robin and others had such a reaction. He shook his head helplessly, and took out a conscription leaflet to show to Robin:

"Look, recruits are issued four sets of uniforms right away, with two added each year.

And during the training, there is still a salary to receive. The recruits can receive [-] silver Maars every month, and after completing three months of training, they will be paid [-] silver Maars a month as a private.

If you are injured in the battle, you will receive free medical treatment. If you are disabled, you will receive a monthly subsidy. If you die, you will receive a three-Ginlund pension. These mud mice in our slums have never been so expensive. !
I can still communicate with my family regularly every month to send money back. This is higher than the income of many of our hired workers. I believe that some of them will definitely be willing to join the army.

So you can rest assured to do it!Even if the employees of our factory go there, there is no problem. No matter what, our brick factory has to complete the conscription requirements of more than 30 people! "

Edmund briefly introduced the conditions and benefits listed on the flyer, and patted Robin on the shoulder to encourage him.

"Twenty silver Maars a month for new recruits? This... isn't this too exaggerated?"

"In this way, the second-class soldier after completing the training, isn't the salary higher than many of our regular employees?"

The four furnace chiefs looked at each other, some couldn't believe that the conditions listed on this leaflet were true.

The conscripts of the empire will only give a symbolic settlement fee of five silver mals, and the maximum amount sent to the family members after passing through the hands of the gray organization is two silver malts.

And their salary for serving in the army is only about ten silver Mahrs a month, and they will be in arrears from time to time. Shock.

The four furnace chiefs even began to think about whether to send young people of the right age from their families or relatives to the new army. After all, this new army related to Boss Xia Lin looked promising.

"That's right, but I heard Boss Xia Lin say that the new army training is very hard. After filling out the registration form, you have to go through a screening similar to our literacy class test before you can officially join the army. If you want to join the new army, it's not It's as simple as you can imagine.

Well, you guys remember that the minimum requirement for our brick factory is to recruit 30 people, but it is best to find [-] people! "

Just when Edmund was giving his subordinates a thousand orders, such scenes were still happening in various factories in the industrial park.

Recruits receive a monthly salary of [-] silver Maars and are immediately issued four sets of military uniforms. After completing the training, they can be promoted to private soldiers with a monthly salary of [-] silver Maars. If they are injured or die, they will receive subsidies and pensions for their families. This is generous. The conditions immediately made many employees in the industrial park eager to move.
