Chapter 45: A promise of gold
Chapter 45: A promise of a thousand gold
There were traffic in front of the city lord's mansion.
Victor couldn't help but be happy when he looked at the scene in front of him. After being the steward of the Marshal's Mansion for so many years, he could get so much food like today.
"Young Master, you are so awesome!"
Victor really couldn't believe that the young master, who seemed silent and introverted, had so many golden ideas and had done a few things casually, and got so much supplies and money.
Whether buying food or opening a casino, everything is far-sighted and very powerful, just like an old world.
Facing Victor's praise, Zhao Feng didn't care too much. Seeing the bags of flour being transported in, Zhao Feng said: "Is the warehouse ready? It's a little dry."
"I borrowed several warehouses from Count Hank, and the flour was placed there, absolutely safe!"
After hearing Victor's words, Zhao Feng felt relieved and said, "That's good, pay attention to the guard anyway. These flours are not small amounts, and they may attract the covetousness of others."
"I understand, Master, I will send someone to guard it." Victor said respectfully to Zhao Feng: "But we have some shortcomings in staff, Master."
Although there are more than 200 people, Victor still feels a little short of it. As the casino business is getting bigger and bigger, the number of people now becomes increasingly tight.
Zhao Feng nodded and said, "I have considered this matter too. Next, we have to recruit people. If so much food is not recruiting some people, it would be a waste!"
"What kind of person should I recruit? Young Master?" Hearing Zhao Feng's words, Victor said excitedly, intending to do it immediately.
Zhao Feng said: "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Everyone have a good rest. Let's talk about it tomorrow." He didn't want to be too careless about recruiting talents.
"Okay!" When Victor heard Zhao Feng's words, he went to do other things. These days, he was busy like a gyroscope, constantly spinning.
While practicing, Zhao Feng was also thinking about how to recruit talents.
The next morning, Zhao Feng got up very early. At this time, he had already made up his plan. Looking at his confident appearance, Bernice was very surprised.
"Are there any solicitation plans?"
Zhao Feng nodded and said, "Yes, this time, I'm going to collect more people. Didn't you say you want to provide relief to the orphans? I think it's better to find a way out for them than give them food."
"How to make a living?" A bright color appeared in Bernese's eyes.
Zhao Feng said: "It's very simple. It's just go to my territory to open up the land. Orphans can go and be apprentices for the craftsmen I recruit to earn food."
"Look, this is the notice I wrote." As he said that, Zhao Feng handed the notice he wrote to Bernice. Seeing this notice, a look of surprise appeared in Bernice's eyes.
"Only talent is to take..." There is no other central meaning in this announcement, which means that you should collect some people with expertise. You can do it if you are willing to work hard and work hard. If you have expertise, Zhao Feng will be responsible for giving them gold coins and letting them work for themselves. If you have no expertise, as long as you work hard, Zhao Feng will give them seeds and food to support them in the open space.
After reading the whole article, this announcement is very tempting.
However, Bernice was still worried, "But, if this is the case, everyone may not believe it very much! You have to do something so that everyone can believe it!"
Zhao Feng said: "I thought about it a long time ago and told Victor to copy these notices dozens of times and place them in the city. Tell them that the first thousand people with specialties who came to me to register will be rewarded with a gold coin."
"That's going to cost a thousand gold coins?" Bernice said in surprise when she heard this: "Is your funds sufficient? Is it OK to spend money like this?"
Although her personality seems to be quite cold on the surface, if you are familiar with Bernice, you will find that she is a very good person.
Zhao Feng said: "Give it a try!"
The news that the Earl from the capital recruited people to open up the land was spread all over the city as if it had grown wings, causing people to talk about it.
"Is this true? The treatment is so good!"
"I think it's a good thing. The nobles usually take advantage. Do you have such kind intentions?"
"I heard that the first thousand people will get a gold coin! However, you must have special skills. Otherwise, we will try it, there will be no harm anyway!"
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, these people gathered in front of the city lord's mansion to see the fun and learn about the truth about this matter.
Rivera's income from selling vegetables today was not good, and there were still a lot of vegetables left in the basket. Inadvertently, he heard that there were free gold coins in front of the city lord's mansion, so he couldn't help but come here with the vegetables.
"Whoever wants to register? The first thousand registered people will get gold coins! Tell me your specialties and I will accept it." At this time, Victor shouted loudly in the square. However, no one dared to come forward to sign up.
"Do you have special skills?"
"I have no ability except to eat something!"
"Those who have the ability go to the Mercenary Guild. What can we do?"
These people were skeptical about the pioneering of the distant Usutari Desert Oasis. After all, that place was a distant desert, a legendary dangerous place.
Moreover, the specialty that Zhao Feng mentioned was misunderstood by these people as having any specialty in martial arts or magic. These people dare not sign up first. After all, there are so many people here, and it would be very embarrassing if they were driven down.
When Rivera saw Zhao Feng sitting on the platform, she couldn't help but remember the young man who was carrying the Wind Demon Wolf on his back. Later he heard that this man was an earl, a lord, a grandson of the marshal, and a super expert. Hearing this string of dazzling names, Rivera really couldn't believe that the silly guy was a nobleman.
"Anyway, the food has not been sold today, so why don't I make the first one!" Rivera put down the load of the food and walked to Victor and said, "I'll sign up!"
"Are you sure to go to the desert oasis? What are your specialties?" Victor said and handed Rivera a statement, "Look, this is our contract."
"I don't know what I'm talking about." Rivera asked without looking at the contract, "I want to ask, do I have to pay attention to food and accommodation when I go there? I heard that the first one who went there would even send gold coins?"
When Zhao Feng saw Rivera, he remembered the simple uncle he met at the city gate and smiled and said, "Of course, there is something to eat. If you don't believe it, you can go and see how much flour I have, enough for you to eat for a year!"
"What are your specialties?" Victor asked.
Rivera thought for a while and said, "I can grow vegetables, and I can sell vegetables." His words attracted a burst of laughter from the crowd. What's the specialty of buying vegetables!
"Okay, selling vegetables is a specialty, give him a contract!"
"That's right, I'll sign it!" Rivera wanted to get close to Zhao Feng, but when she thought that she was an earl and had a prominent noble status, she didn't dare to say anything. She took a mud seal, and he snapped it on it, pressed the handprint, and said, "Okay, give it money."
"Okay, these are ten gold coins. That's fine." The yellow-coloured gold coins were placed in Rivera's hand, heavy and looked so dazzling.
"It's so much money!" Seeing the situation in front of you, everyone else regretted watching the fun, why did he refuse to be the first one?
Rivera got so much money at one time, her hands were shaking violently, and she was extremely panicked, saying, "I'm a little scared. I'll leave this money here first. I'll settle it home and take my wife and children again!"
"Okay, it's not safe for you to bring this big amount of money alone." Zhao Feng said: "Well, I'll ask two soldiers to escort you back. Take the money, settle it well, and come!"
"Okay, thank you Count!" Rivera's face was flushed with excitement, and said, "I'll go home and notify my wife and children."
As he said that, he ran towards the front.
"Do you want your food load?" someone shouted to him behind him: "There are still food inside!"
"No!" Rivera ran desperately outside the city, so excited that she was extremely excited.
Zhao Feng went to the two soldiers beside him: "You ride your horse and go chase him. Then, take him back. Hurry up, don't lose it."
"Yes, Lord Earl!" Hearing Zhao Feng's orders, the two soldiers quickly rode on their horses and chased Rivera. They shouted and held the gold coins in their hands and said, "Wait, don't run so fast."
Zhao Feng's actions greatly stimulated the onlookers. As the saying goes, buying horse bones for a thousand gold coins. Rivera's experience made these people feel that they have specialties and can also sign up and get gold coins. At this time, the crowd couldn't help but get excited, and many people rushed towards the front desperately.
"I'll sign up, I'll sign up!"
Seeing this situation, Victor quickly shouted: "Don't squeeze, be careful of something happening, give me one by one according to the order! Now you can sign up and you will have the chance to win a gold coin, hurry up!"
With his shouting, more and more people participated. In this way, the situation of attracting talents was completely opened up. Most people have a herd mentality.
Seeing other people signing up, these people no longer resisted the originally terrifying Oasis of Usutari Desert. Anyway, everyone else went there, and it didn't matter if they went there by themselves.
Looking at the lively situation, Zhao Feng smiled. He had just spent a thousand gold coins and completely established his reputation and credibility, and gained a lot of talents.
Although most of the people recruited were craftsmen or farmers, Zhao Feng was very satisfied. Because he lacked such talents in life.
As for recruiting some martial experts, Zhao Feng also had a certain plan in his mind and was ready to throw it out at the right time.
Finally, the job fair ended with Zhao Feng recruiting more than a thousand craftsmen and other talents, and achieved great success.
Looking at the stacks of contracts, Zhao Feng was very excited and said, "These are all talents!"
