Chapter 358 Recruiting people and setting up a wine workshop

“Bang!”

"I'm really crying because of my own stupidity."

Yuan Shu slapped his forehead, secretly cursing himself for forgetting such an important matter. After finishing the matter, he quickly said, "Second Master, Madam is right. Our military can come forward openly and honestly. Being secretive only arouses suspicion. We were too cautious before, and ended up in a dead end. It was really stupid."

Strictly speaking, it's not their fault. After all, they have too many things to do every day. The arguments with those people have long passed, so it's normal for them to ignore it. As a bystander, Shen Xiangwan sees it more clearly.

"Um."

Wei Chengyi couldn't help laughing. Not to mention Yuan Shu and the others, even he had overlooked it. Fortunately, his wife reminded him in time, otherwise they would definitely not be able to take over the remaining power before the second season of grain planting.

"I'll write a letter to the boss and the others right away."

As he spoke, Yuan Shu took the letter paper, picked up the pen and began to write quickly. After Wei Chengyi's birthday, Qingying went to the provincial capital again, and is currently responsible for consolidating the political power together with Yan Junling.

The couple smiled at each other, and Wei Chengyi lowered his voice and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Generally, she rarely disturbed him in the evening. She would only go to the study to accompany him to handle government affairs when there was no one around. Most of the time, they were busy with their own things.

"Well, I want to open a branch in Mingzhou and Jiaozhou..."

Nodding, Shen Xiangwan slowly and briefly explained why they wanted to open a branch: "So, you have to assign a few more people who are good at business to Cheng Yusheng."

"good."

Wei Chengyi agreed without even thinking about it. He had quite a few talented people in this area, most of whom were from the palace.

Since it was decided to set up a wine workshop and expand the production of sorghum wine workshop, there was no need to drag it out. Shen Xiangwan found Zhao Dashan that day and told him that she wanted to recruit people. This time she wanted to recruit a lot of people, at least three hundred people. Every household in the village raised a lot of pigs, and the fields needed someone to look after them, so there was basically not much labor available. Therefore, she had to recruit people from several nearby villages, and she needed Zhao Dashan's help to find the village chiefs, explain the situation to them, and call on everyone to come and apply.

"Sister-in-law Yang, you are here too?"

"Isn't it? I heard that the monthly wages for new workers in the Wei family's workshop are 800 wen. If they do a good job, it will increase to one tael of silver after three months."

"I really envy Yong'an Village. When I came here just now, I saw so many blue brick and tile houses, and many people were still building houses. They really made a fortune!"

"There are so many wealthy families in Datong County, and the Wei family is so kind. Look how well they lead Yong'an Village. Why am I not from Yong'an Village?"

"Yes, yes, yes. My family has a daughter who is looking for a husband. I wonder if there is any suitable young man in Yong'an Village."

Three days later, at noon in the morning, people from various villages were chattering in the open space outside the workshop. It was estimated that there were at least a thousand people, and more people were coming in a continuous stream. In order to get work in the Wei family workshop, many people privately asked people in Yong'an Village. Knowing that the wife of the Wei family's head, Shen Xiangwan, liked cleanliness, they specially cleaned up. Even if their clothes were full of patches, they were still clean and fresh.

"Mrs. Wei is out!"

Someone shouted loudly, and everyone looked towards the other side of the ditch at the same time. They saw Shen Xiangwan and Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying stepping onto the stone bridge together. Following behind them were the servants of the family. Some of them were carrying tables, some were moving chairs, and some were holding the four treasures of the study. They looked much more energetic than those who came to respond to the call.

What a beautiful woman!

This was the first reaction of everyone present. Regardless of how bright and exquisite Shen Xiangwan's appearance was, her fair, smooth and tender skin was enough to make most women feel ashamed. Then everyone couldn't help but think of the evaluation of her by the villagers of Yong'an Village. She was beautiful and kind-hearted, and was simply the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva. She was so beautiful, she was a fairy in heaven!

"Everyone, please stand back a little."

While they were staring at her in a daze, Shen Xiangwan and the others had already arrived in front of them. The sound mixed with internal force clearly hit the eardrums of everyone present. Everyone subconsciously took a few steps back. The servants hurriedly arranged the tables and chairs, and the four treasures of the study were also placed on the table.

Chen Xiangwan stood in front of the table and said loudly, "Before we start recruiting, let me first tell you about the workshop's benefits. New employees will receive 800 wen per month, and will be paid on the first day of each month. If you work well, your wages will increase to one or two taels of silver after three months. During the Chinese New Year, I will also give you one to three months' wages as a year-end bonus, depending on how good the business is. In addition, everyone will have four paid days off per month. You can arrange the specific days of rest by yourselves. Just let the manager know in advance. The workshop will start work on time at Chenshi in the morning and end work at 3:15 in the afternoon. It will start work at 3:15 in the afternoon and end work at 3:15 in the evening. Finally, I will recruit at least 300 people this time. Please form five rows, and we will conduct the assessment five by five."

Shen Xiangwan briefly talked about the treatment in the workshop. This time she would only recruit ordinary workers. As for the manager of the wine workshop, she would select them from the original workers from the village in the sorghum wine workshop. In order to make rational use of manpower, she would still adopt the assembly line operation method and divide them into several groups to do their own work.

Everyone wanted to get this job very much, and soon they lined up in five rows as she said. Chen Xiangwan did not waste any time and stepped forward to look at the five people in the front. Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying sat at the table, one was responsible for registering the information of the recruited workers, and the other was responsible for asking them to put their fingerprints on the contract.

"You three stay."

Probably because of the "leak" by a villager from Yong'an Village, Shen Xiangwan only left three of the five people in the first row. The three people who were left behind blushed with excitement, while the two who were not able to stay lowered their heads and looked disappointed.

"Those who remain, come and register to sign the contract!"

"Oh, okay!"

Seeing that they were still not moving, Yuan Yue shouted loudly, and the three people left behind hurried over. Before this, they had already found out that everyone had to sign a contract before entering the workshop. As long as they didn't talk too much, they would basically not get into any trouble.

Shen Xiangwan selected people very quickly. In about half an hour, she had selected about three or four hundred people. Looking at the long line behind her, she could only sigh helplessly and said again: "I have recruited enough people this time. If you still need to recruit people in the future, you are welcome to come and apply. If you have nothing else, please go back first!"

"ah···"

How can we recruit enough people?

The people behind all wailed in unison, secretly cursing themselves for coming late. If they had come earlier and lined up in front, maybe they would have been selected.
