In May, it has been half a month since Donald entered the Taros Family Manor.

Before summer comes, the hot weather has already vaguely signalled.

The sun shines on the former slums and now in residential areas, the atmosphere here is as hot as the ambient temperature.

A simple greenhouse was supported on the right side of the dilapidated block, and someone brought seven or eight long tables and a few chairs. The heads of several construction teams of Renas were at this stop, and a recruitment office was established.

"The Senge Construction Team needs 15 strong laborers, with a daily salary of 5pence!"

"We need professional bricklayers, who earn 10 pence a day, and apprentices also receive 7 pence a day, and two meals a day!"

"Fu Sen Street needs a few people who help demolish the abandoned house, with a daily salary of 6pence and full catering!"

......

The person in charge of each construction team was shouting hard, and wooden signs with treatment were erected at the table, for fear that people would not hear it clearly.

People in slums have never seen such a situation. You should know that although Renas used to be a frequent construction project, it was generally concentrated in rich areas. Today, the courtyards were to be expanded and which villas were to be renovated tomorrow. This type of project does not require too many people, and the salary is very high. However, all the rich people are concerned about people. Even if they hire a construction team, they have to be professional workers, so where is their turn?

"Sir, do you want to work in another city?"

Some people think that the nearby cities need help. After all, the daily salary of such a coolie is usually only 3pence, and you have to bring your own food.

"Of course not. Haven't you read the recent Renas Daily? We must be blessed!"

The head of the Senge Construction Team supported the table with both hands and faced the more people around him. Then he shouted,

"Our mayor, Lord Taros, is determined to rest and recuperate Renas, build residential buildings for you for free and various public facilities!"

"The government wants to build a house for us? How is this possible? It would be nice not to demolish our house."

The reputation of the Renas Municipal Government is really worrying in the eyes of these civilians. Many people not only disbelief when they heard this, but also thought that this was a new round of land enclosure operations.

"The newspapers clearly state that I just got from the government... The project task I paid for at the bidding meeting is that the street you are standing on now will start construction in three days. At that time, not only will there be residential buildings, but also various shops..."

The strong man in a brown vest stood on the table, waving the construction plan in his hand, regardless of whether others could see it or not, just shouting loudly,

"If anyone doesn't believe it, go and see the city's west city. There are several blocks in the city. We all have a completion deadline... Forget it, I can't tell you clearly. I need 15 strong laborers here, work 9 hours a day, and lunch breaks are included. I have a daily salary of 5pence, and I have a good job and a bonus. Has anyone come?"

Having said that, the next thing is simple. The people of Renas lack opportunities to make money now. They can also pay high wages for food and can do a job that can be done as long as they have the strength. Who would like to miss it?

But even so, the construction team still did not recruit enough people. It was not that the people were not coming, but that the construction team needed too many people!

The first phase of the project proposed by the Renas Municipal Government at the first round of bidding meeting launched a week ago covers almost one-third of the urban area. According to people who have been there, as long as the bid is successful, the project funds will be allocated on site, and a few boxes of gold pounds will be placed on the stage!

However, because there were too few engineering teams in the city at that time, only half of the people were entrusted out in the end, the government decided to hold another bidding meeting three days later.

Anyone with a little vision knows that it is necessary to make money by doing projects, so in just three days, a large number of construction teams emerged in Renas City, and the Senge Construction Team was one of them.

If the construction team wants to do things, people are certainly indispensable. Therefore, a large number of unemployed vagrants who were not interested a week ago immediately became popular.

Once the construction team was opened, they only recruited strong laborers. After all, they would have to be a man, and they would have to be some strength. There was no way, because there was no manpower. After all, they had signed contracts with the government and had to be completed within a certain period of time. Otherwise, even if they were breach of contract, they would have to pay a penalty for liquidated damages, and in serious cases they would have to go to prison.

You should know that there is no such thing as running away with money in this era, because the boss behind these projects is the mayor who is in the limelight recently. He is a nobleman among the nobles. If anyone deceives him and is caught, he will not be interrogated and will be sent to the gallows directly.

In a black car outside the recruitment boom on the street, Donald looked at the situation outside and said with a faint smile on his face: "The best way to stabilize the hearts of Renas is not to distribute items to the people, but to help those who do nothing all day long find a job that is enough to make them physically and mentally exhausted but can earn satisfaction!"

The people at the bottom have not asked for much. A job that can support their whole family and have some ample wealth is enough to calm their hearts. This is one of the reasons why Donald has so eagerly promoted the first phase of the urban construction project in the past half month.

Squinted his eyes and felt the increasingly strong power of faith in his mind. The smile on Donald's face became stronger and stronger. In recent times, he seemed to have been quite effective from the dual publicity of the official and the folk.

Although it will take quite some time before turning Renas into a Howling Forest-like place, this is undoubtedly a good start.

"Your decision is really impressive. Renovating existing blocks and turning the chaotic and scattered houses into unified residential buildings will not only facilitate management and maximize the construction cost of public facilities, but also free up large areas of land to build factories and commercial stores, and turn those originally worthless land into commercial areas that major chambers of commerce compete for... This method not only solves the employment problem in the short term, appeases the hearts of Renas people, but also saves government costs and avoids financial crises. At the same time, it wins over the chamber of commerce, lets them see the business opportunities and actively helps you build Renas. In the end, we may also get a lot of profits by leasing land in prime locations. The municipal government will not only not lose money, but will kill multiple goals in one fell swoop!"

Huxley is now completely convinced by the new owner's business methods, using some of the funds from the family warehouses that were destroyed as the start-up capital. Every step in the next step is to use the power of the outside world to develop Renas while taking care of almost all walks of life, making most people profitable.

"I have to correct your tongue. It's not that you may get a big profit, but it's inevitable! I can tell you clearly that as long as the vacant land can be developed 30% in the short term, we will make a lot of money!"

What is the most profitable society in Donald's previous life? Putting aside the methods written in criminal law, real estate is definitely the best in the first echelon!

Now, Donald, as the mayor of Renas, except for the rich, nearly 70% of the land in the entire slums is in his name. If he could not even imagine this method, he would have lived in vain for decades in his previous life.

"How is the revision of the Factory Law progress? I remember that I mentioned this to you half a month ago. For the time being, I just said it would be a rough prototype. I haven't responded yet?"

The Factory Law was formulated specifically by Donald to regulate factories in Renas. If he wants to seek faster development and adapt to the wave of industrial revolution that has gradually emerged throughout the Ryan Empire, the chaos in Renas industry must be rectified.

Donald is not those conservative capitalists who still hold a wait-and-see state and think about taking one step at a time. For him who has seen giant steel ships and armed robots in Demingham, the industrial revolution of this era is obviously more advanced and special, and of course he must integrate into it as soon as possible.

"The general doctrine has been revised. In fact, what we are facing now is not internal resistance, but pressure from other capitalists and nobles of Renas. They will not sit idly by and watch the promulgation of the Factory Act. Although we are trying to make Renas' industry develop faster, in their eyes, this is at the expense of their interests... and it is true."

The Renas Municipal Government has been too indulging in these capitalists and nobles in the past, allowing them to taste enough sweetness in exploiting the people, hiring child labor, working system far exceeds the normal working hours and other insulting methods.

It turns out that these guys may be very slow in other things, but they are more clear about making profits for themselves than anyone else.

"It's 3 o'clock, go home first...how far have they been?"

Donald rolled the window up and looked at Huxley in the driver's position and asked.

"The latest information shows that several capitalists in the city have recently had close contacts with Viscount Adrien, and several other families that originally worked with you seem to have had abnormal movements."

These people have seen a series of changes in Renas City recently. The Taros family quietly swallowed all the property of those families, and spared no effort to promote the behavior of the black-robed saint through government channels, which undoubtedly touched the sensitive nerves of these families.

There are even rumors in Renas' upper class that this saint in black robe was actually a good show directed and acted by Sevit Taros, in order to seize the property of those families.

They dare not confront the Taros family head-on, so they naturally have to find other ways to protect their own interests.

"These people are a problem. They are busy sorting out the affairs of Renas City recently and forgetting their existence... they have to find an opportunity to reason with them."
