Now that they had sufficient food and clean drinking water, the bodies of Lions and the others quickly recovered. As their bodies recovered, their work efficiency soared, and these people were not afraid of suffering, sweat, or even blood. For these hard-earned foods, everyone used 120% of their strength.
On the third day, Zhao Kancheng"s equipment and personnel continued to arrive one after another. The refurbishment of the site, the installation of the equipment and the training of the personnel … Times Square, inside and out, was in full swing.Soon, a portion of the simple equipment was put into use. On the evening of the fourth day, the first batch of broken down sc.r.a.p iron was shipped out. However, because the dump truck couldn"t get past the wall, it had to be transferred.
Almost on the sixth day, all the equipment was basically put to use, and the people who had gone through the simple training had already come on duty. Times Square was like a silent machine, suddenly filling with gasoline and rumbling with power.
On the seventh day, Wu Tianhua bought five other wreckage vehicles, including a huge trailer with twelve wheels, which was full of food. When the five cars drove into Times Square, the whole plaza was in an uproar. Many people had never seen this much food and water in their lives. It was enough for them to take a bath.It was enough for them to stay in the slave camp for a week and make things difficult for them, especially when there were two women among them. If it wasn"t for the fact that Zhao Kangcheng had given them five times the salary, they definitely wouldn"t want to come, and the only thing they could endure was the fact that the Lions treated these people with great respect, almost as if they were Bodhisattvas. This caused them to feel a little satisfied in their hearts.
On the eighth day, Times Square officially started recruiting for the public. When the news came out, all the slaves in the area flocked here, and the news had already spread that Times Square had received the help of n.o.bles, obtaining an inexhaustible supply of food and drinking water. Every one of them had long been envious, but due to the lion"s destruction of the shar pi dog, they were afraid, otherwise they would have rushed in long ago.
The first day, he recruited a hundred, and sent them all to dig garbage. A hundred Jin for one copper coin was a lot of work, and when the successful applicants heard that a hundred Jin for one copper coin, they almost went crazy. The lucky ones found the abandoned cars or motorcycles, and in just a few hours they dug out about 500 to 600 pounds of energy pipes. Such an event quickly stimulated others, especially after a slave dug out a container and traded it for two steamed buns.
Steamed buns, white steamed buns.That night, five large trucks and a large trailer rumbled out of Times Square and headed towards the commercial street. When they returned, the truck that had changed into a larger one had more than 500,000 copper coins in its hands. Seeing so many copper coins, the hundred or so men, including the lion, all cried. They had never seen so much money in their lives, and this was only a single night"s worth of income. However, they also knew that this was an inventory dug up seven or eight years ago. According to the current rate of shipment, the stock would run out in at most a week. When that time came, the income would definitely drop significantly. However, even so, everyone was satisfied.
If it was before, even if he sold all of his stock, he might not be able to get 1% of the money. All of them were extremely grateful to Liu Wei An.
In the end, it was Lion who recovered from his excitement first. He thought of the investment of these equipment, 10 million copper coins. All of these were brought out by Liu Wei An. A heavy sense of responsibility pressed down on his shoulders.The next day, two hundred people were recruited. As there were more people, the recruitment conditions were also much stricter, so it was not a big deal to choose the ones with better reputations. After all, the Sharpei dog had taught him a lesson, and the lions were very strict in recruiting people.
The 100 people from yesterday had basically earned 10 copper coins by nightfall. For these slaves who had no income at all, 10 copper coins were already a high price. Everyone was proud to have entered Times Square to work. The most important thing was the income. For people like them, no one would take them in, and there was no factory inside, they would only wait for death. Now, with great difficulty, a Times Square had appeared, and the wider the news, the more people would come here.
On the third day, they recruited 300 people before slowing down their pace. Their security team only had more than 100 people, and there were too many workers. It wouldn"t be good if they caused a ruckus. The lion, after a strict examination, had absorbed almost fifty people into the security team, bringing the number of security guards to around two hundred.
It was also on this night that a group of forces more than fifty kilometers away had launched a sneak attack in the middle of the night. However, it was unexpected that the two hundred men of the lion security team were already prepared; one crossbow, one arrow, and a few hunting rifles had launched a round of attack and had caused more than half of the men to fall down. The remaining people had been killed in the process of escaping, and many of them had been accidentally injured by their comrades. With such a small number of people, they naturally wouldn"t be able to defend this mountain of trash. Within a few days, it was destroyed by other forces.
After this battle, the nearby garbage mountains had witnessed the strength of Lion and the rest of his party. At first, there were some small thoughts, but now, they were being suppressed. Similarly, there was a person waiting nearby who was also waiting to be hired.
Times Square had entered the fast track of development. It had hundreds of thousands of copper coins a day, and it was flourishing. However, there were also many hidden problems. At the beginning, people didn"t think so, but as the number of people increased, the number of small problems increased. Residential problems, sanitation problems, discipline problems, they were all solved under the pressure of the lion. Although they were slow, they were all easy to solve. Right now, the most important problems were two: one was the lack of management, and the other was the lack of financial resources.It was already good enough for slaves to eat their fill, there was no need to think about school. It was rare for people to know a few words and write their own names. Zhao Xin, who had studied for less than two months, was even stronger than them.
However, with so much money, it was impossible to not manage it. It was not difficult to count three to five hundred copper coins, but now, the total was over a million copper coins. With such a huge amount of money, if you couldn"t handle it well, you would be in big trouble. After all, he couldn"t possibly be allowed to manage the finance department, and he didn"t have the time to do so either. The matter dragged on just like that.
That day, Liu Wei An woke up early. The food in the house had already been eaten, so he was going to buy some food to come back. As soon as he walked to the commercial street, he heard a loud noise coming from the square. This happened every once in a while. It was a common occurrence. Just as Liu Wei An was about to turn around and leave, he stopped in his tracks and saw a familiar face in front of him.
It was a girl with long, messy hair that had not been combed for who knows how long. Her figure was thin, her face, which had not been full for who knows how long, had lost all its weight, her eyes were sunken in, her nose was very straight, her skin was white, and there was a hint of green in it. Only her eyes were still bright, unlike the fear, panic, fear, and confusion in her surroundings.
However, what Liu Wei An noticed wasn"t the eyes, but the face, it was very similar to a female cla.s.smate of his back in Earth orphanage. Whether it was the face or the body shape, both were very similar, especially the eyes and the nose, there were at least 80% resemblance. He was Liu Wei An"s only good friend in the orphanage. Perhaps he had some unexplained feelings, but at that time, he was still young and didn"t understand these things.
Soon, Liu Wei An shook his head in disappointment. One was Earth, the other was Mars. It couldn"t be that coincidental. After thinking for a moment, he walked up to the girl, ignoring her astonishment and said, "Give me a reason, let me buy you."
Slaves had no human rights and could be bought at will, but the object of purchase could only be the country. It was illegal to work hard to buy and sell slaves had records in the country"s archives. There were so many slaves in the slave area, and although they seemed ownerless, they were actually all the property of the country.
If one wanted to obtain slaves, they had to buy them. Any other method was illegal. The country usually didn"t care, but if something happened and the country got angry, the small issue of slavery would become a big problem. Most people did not care about this, especially the aristocrats. They had their t.i.tles, but Liu Wei An was not one of them. He was only a commoner who had just obtained an ID card recently."My IQ is 180, is that enough of a reason?" The girl was surprisingly calm. There was not the slightest change in her eyes. There was no sign of excitement nor uneasiness in them.
"Your IQ is so high, how could you possibly —" Liu Wei An stopped himself.
"Wasn"t Copernicus burned to death?" The girl retorted in a tone that was neither light nor heavy.
"Alright, you"re one of my men." Liu Wei An smiled. His temper was quite good. He walked up to a brawny man, who was wearing the uniform of a prison guard. "How much is this person?"
The guard turned his head to look and immediately a strong stench came out from his mouth, "The father of that girl is not simple, but he"s a bit untactful. You"re lucky, it"s 10 silver coins."
Any slaves that were dragged into this area were basically selected from the side. The rest of them were crooked melon and split dates that no one wanted, and they were all sold for more than ten copper coins each. The ones with good appearances were only worth about seventy to eighty copper coins, or at most a hundred copper coins. However, he did not haggle and directly threw out 10 copper coins.
The prison guard was overjoyed. Originally, he had been a little apprehensive about the high price and scared away Liu Wei An, but he did not expect that it was really a fat sheep. He quickly found the girl"s indenture contract and stamped it with his official seal to let Liu Wei An sign his name.Liu Wei An glanced around and saw the girl"s name: Courtyard, it really is fate. It"s the same name as my friend in the orphanage, just with a different surname.
