672: Recruitment in the city

"Master, the knife drawn on this blueprint... there's no mistake, right?" The Old Blacksmith let out a dry laugh, feeling that Ning Buxiu was teasing him.

How was this a knife? These were clearly two large lumps of iron!

"No mistake, just make it according to what's drawn on this. That's enough." Ning Buxiu didn't explain anything.

After his first-rate blade techniques reached Perfection, ordinary knives simply couldn't withstand the burst of his strength.

Even the fine steel blades on the market couldn't withstand it.

Those swords and knives that seemed to cut through iron like mud in the eyes of ordinary people were actually no different from scrap metal when they truly fell into the hands of Ghosts!

When he fought the Ghost Infant earlier, the knife in Ning Buxiu's hand was destroyed by the Ghost Infant even when his blade techniques were fully operational, which was enough to illustrate the problem.

A normal knife couldn't kill some Ghosts with certain cultivation. It was like trying to kill someone with tofu. The knife itself was too fragile; not only did it fail to highlight the power of the blade technique, but it was also a burden, unless it was a weapon like a demonic soldier or a Ghost weapon.

But Ning Buxiu hadn't yet come into contact with methods for such weapons.

After thinking for a long time, the only thing he could think of was to pile material onto the blade.

As long as the knife was big enough, thick enough, and sturdy enough!

If these three conditions were met, there would be no need to fear the knife breaking when used, and no need to fear Ghosts being able to destroy it.

As for what others thought? Who cared!

If he could use these two large lumps of iron to perform blade techniques and kill Ghosts, then these iron lumps were knives!

"This..." The Old Blacksmith no longer tangled with it: "Master, when do you need it?"

Since the Master had requested it, he no longer questioned anything.

If he just built it according to this situation, the technical requirements were actually not high, after all, it was just piling material.

"The sooner the better."

"Are you in a hurry?" The Old Blacksmith said, then looked at the blueprint in his hand again: "If everyone in the shop works together, we can forge the blanks for two knives before tonight, and they should be polished into finished products by the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, go do it." Ning Buxiu nodded.

Seeing the Old Blacksmith turn around, he added another sentence: "After the knife blanks are out before tonight, I'll test them first."

"Test them?" The Old Blacksmith's eyes twitched when he heard this.

How would he test them? Could he test the knife on someone?

...

In the evening.

A piece of news appeared on Ye Ning's Weibo trending list.

top1: Ye Ning's Weibo Update 2.0 Version, this update includes the following new content...

top2: Wanhua Brothel is recruiting extensively in Five Directions City to rebuild Wanhua Brothel! One hundred wen per day, limited recruitment of 30 senior craftsmen, 50 carpenters, 50 tilers, and 300 laborers...

top3: Mobile Money House will go online simultaneously with Ye Ning's Weibo update. The specific functions of Mobile Money House are...

"Ye Ning's Weibo is updated!"

"Shopping? Same-city jobs? What are these two functions for? Why isn't it a game?"

"Wow, Wanhua Brothel is actually recruiting so many people to work. My husband has been worried about how to find work recently, and I didn't expect to see it here! But how can I get hired?"

"Didn't it write the contact telephone inside? Just call that telephone!"

In Ye Ning's Weibo, there were many kind people giving pointers.

At the same time.

Where Wanhua Brothel was located.

After the woman Landlady filled out the recruitment information, she waited for a long time without a response and was also a little disappointed.

It seemed the method didn't work.

That was true, how could the Ning family deliberately help their Wanhua Brothel recruit workers?

The Ning family itself specialized in businesses like restaurants and other entertainment-oriented businesses, and their Wanhua Brothel was a competitor of the Ning family.

With sorrow in her heart, the beautiful courtesans who had come out of Wanhua Brothel behind her, carefully selected from all over the Southern Border, also looked a little distressed.

Looking at these women and servants under her, the Wanhua Brothel Landlady also felt a little unbearable.

If she really couldn't recruit workers, she could only take these people to seek refuge with another Family...

After all, building the brothel required too many people, and now that the Wang Family was gone from Five Directions City, it was impossible to find a decent construction team.

If she were to advertise for recruitment, the expenses and the time needed to wait would be hard to bear.

"Ding-a-ling ~"

Suddenly, the telephone on the woman's body rang.

Looking at the unfamiliar incoming call, the woman Landlady paused and answered the telephone.

"Is this Wanhua Brothel recruiting? It says there, is one hundred wen a day true?"

In the telephone, A Man's voice came through.

Carried within it was strong drive and a hint of anticipation!

"Yes, we need to rebuild Wanhua Brothel and need workers." The Landlady heard the voice in the telephone, paused for a moment, and immediately responded.

"Then how do I sign up to work?!"

"Just come to Wanhua Brothel to sign up." The Landlady patiently explained.

Not long after, as the telephone hung up.

In Five Directions City, in a simple house, A Man excitedly clenched his fists, his face full of excitement.

"That's great, husband, there's work!" Behind A Man, the woman was also happy.

Since the Qiong family was destroyed, her husband, who had been working on projects attached to the Qiong family, was directly unemployed.

He had been busy these days, trying to find work to earn money to support his Family.

But no one would hire him.

Because of the destruction of the two major Gaopeng Families later, many shopkeepers and projects were struggling to take care of themselves and naturally didn't dare to recruit workers casually.

In a vicious cycle, more and more people in a similar situation to A Man fell into the predicament of having no work.

Perhaps there were places that needed people, but these craftsmen who didn't have many connections couldn't reach too far.

Until today.

They, who saw no future, found this recruitment message in their telephone!

Following the contact telephone, they summoned up the courage to call.

Originally, they were just trying their luck, but unexpectedly, it worked out directly!

They found a new job through the stone-like telephone in their hands!

"Landlady, is there a construction team taking on our reconstruction project?" After the Landlady hung up the telephone, the people behind her looked over one by one.

The woman Landlady shook her head and said listlessly: "It's just one person."

"Although it's not very useful, gathering a few more around and asking them to help us clear the burned ruins of Wanhua Brothel will have to suffice."

"Only one person?" The responding courtesan was unenthusiastic.

"Ding-a-ling ~"

However, just as a few people hadn't chatted for long, the telephone in the Landlady's hand rang again.

"Are you Wanhua Brothel recruiting workers? I saw your message on the same-city recruitment. Are you still hiring now? I have five apprentices with me who are all looking for work everywhere!"

In the telephone, the Middle-aged voice was loud, and the purpose expressed was also to work.

"Yes, of course we are recruiting." The Landlady nodded after being slightly startled: "Just come to Wanhua Brothel to sign up."

After the telephone hung up, the telephone in the woman's hand immediately received another call.

They were also looking for work!

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Wanhua Brothel Landlady received more than twenty calls in quick succession.

In the blink of an eye, fifty to sixty people agreed over the telephone to come and work!

And as time passed, the incoming calls did not stop at all.

Fortunately, Ning Buxiu had not implemented the rule of purchasing call time with call fees, otherwise, in this situation, the skyrocketing call fees alone would be a large income for the Ning family.

"It's same-city recruitment, so many people are coming from same-city recruitment!" The Landlady had already handed the constantly ringing telephone to the steward to handle the related matters.

And seeing the people who came running one by one to sign up for work, she was even more shocked.

How long had it been? Less than half a day, and she had recruited so many craftsmen and laborers!

And they were all found in the telephone, on the same-city recruitment!

Similar scenes occurred in many shops and buildings in Five Directions City.

Some shops were short of staff and directly posted recruitment on Ye Ning's Weibo's same-city recruitment.

Almost instantly, people called to inquire.
