The happiest moment for Shen Jia was when she calculated the entire day's revenue in the evening. She felt that her decision to open a branch in the county was too late.

It is really wonderful to be able to earn nearly two taels a day like this.

Yang Ze, who had already seen the town's shop accounts before, turned his abacus back and forth in disbelief and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Miss, our revenue today is almost as much as the town's three-day revenue!"

"There are more wealthy people in this county than in our town. You must help me manage the accounts. I will have Fuqiu check them regularly."

"I know the boss!"

Yang Ze wanted to swear his loyalty on the spot. After all, he learned the relevant accounting model under Fuqiu's instruction.

Currently, only she, Fuqiu, Chen Ci, Yang Ze and Li Qin have access to this knowledge.

After counting the silver and putting it into the box, Shen Jia couldn't help but sigh that there were still many rich people in the county. At the same time, in order to better check the business situation of the county, she stayed in the shop for a few days before leaving.

The workshop hadn't had any problems in the past few days due to Shen Jia's absence, but when she entered the office area, Fuqiu hurried over and asked:

"Jia Niang, please show me the teaching materials I wrote these days. How are they? You have been checking them before. I was quite panicked when you left so suddenly.

If I can’t keep up with the pace you requested, it will be my fault.”

Because Shen Jia's two new workshops were about to open grandly, the recruitment of personnel was urgent. At the same time, a problem quickly emerged.

Last time, most of the managers of Shen's Tofu Workshop were from the Shen family themselves. Everyone could read and write, and everyone had a deep understanding of their position. There were no major problems in the past few months of operation.

However, once the new workshop was put into operation, it would face the problem of lack of management personnel at all levels. This time, Shen Jia chose to select from the first batch of recruits.

The first big problem was that almost no one could read, and without literacy, better management could not be achieved. Shen Jia absolutely did not want the first batch of veterans in his business to be illiterate people.

Therefore, she has recently set aside some time to allow everyone to convert their original working time into study time. As long as they pass the system assessment in three days, she will assign positions according to each person's assessment score.

There will be a total of 3 male stewards and 10 female stewards this time. After observation, they may directly become the general manager of a workshop.

When Shen Jia announced the news, no one was willing to believe it and asked Shen Jia questions.

"Boss, are you serious? Then what are the benefits of becoming a steward?"

Shen Jia smiled and said, "Do you think it's a good thing to be able to manage others without having to do any work yourself? Of course, after becoming a manager, everyone's monthly salary and year-end benefits will change."

"Boss, can both men and women participate? And are the questions difficult? We are peasants who can't even read a single word."

"Of course, you all probably heard me just now. There are three times as many female stewards as male stewards. Although we're categorized, you all must pass the test to be selected, otherwise I'll reduce the number of people."

This arrangement is because the newly built workshop has more positions suitable for women than men, so more female managers are needed. I hope everyone will not disappoint me.

The questions will all be based on the content you will be studying in the coming period. Everyone starts from the same point. As long as you work hard, nothing is impossible. "

"That's great! I never thought that one day a peasant like me could become a literate steward."

"What are you so happy about? You're not sure whether it's you or not."

"The boss said that confidence is a good thing, what do you care about me!"

Under the dual temptation of Shen Jia's interests and power, everyone in the workshop who had the slightest desire to move up worked hard to learn, and no one was willing to give up this rare opportunity easily.

"Fuqiu, have some confidence in yourself. Look, my brother didn't react much when he saw me come back. If you feel there is anything you don't like, you can discuss it with my brother."

Shen Ci did not expect Shen Jia to actually mention his name and say such words. He shook his head helplessly and said:

"Jia Niang, you only think of me in situations like this. This is my first time, so you can help me too."

Shen Jia had never thought that his words would cause another trouble, so he quickly interrupted, "Wait, how are you guys doing with the recruitment of new workshop workers I mentioned earlier?"

Fuqiu looked at Shen Jia who was going off topic again and said unhappily, "Don't you know the power of your peddlers?

Since you're also providing housing this time, people from other towns should be rushing over too. I even have a feeling that the houses you built aren't big enough for the workers."

"Don't worry, I'm prepared!"

Shen Jia raised his eyebrows proudly at Fuqiu. This time the house was definitely big enough for them to stay in.

Because she moved the eight-person dormitory of the boarding school where she lived before into here exactly as it was, one room can accommodate eight people, and the bunk beds are definitely a novel arrangement that no one expected.

There are five rooms in a row, and four rows can accommodate 160 people. There are two rows on the men's side, which are arranged strictly according to the planned number of workers.

This time, due to his own needs, Shen Jia did not strictly limit the candidates to Ning'an Town, and of course there was no restriction that they had to be from Linyuan County.

This time, even this group of disaster victims who fled from the north can join, but everyone needs to have their own pass. She has no requirements for people's identities, but it does not mean that some people without identities can also sneak in.

Amidst the eager anticipation of all employees in the workshop, the first employee promotion assessment of Shen’s Workshop began.

Most of the content was very simple. To make things simpler, Shen Jia asked Fuqiu to teach everyone the Arabic numerals that he had given her. In addition to the numbers, there were some words with simple strokes.

Shen Jia stood at the front of the cleared space and shouted, "The employee assessment begins!"

At the command, everyone picked up charcoal pencils and started writing and drawing. Worried that everyone would be disturbed by her presence, she returned to the office alone after she finished speaking and waited for the final results.

On this day, the Shen's workshop no longer had the previous sounds of sparks, grinding wheels, mules, and machines. Only the wind could be heard, and the sound of charcoal pencils scratching across paper could be heard.

When the assessment was over, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Some even collapsed to the ground as if all their strength had been drained away, fearing that this might be their only chance to transform themselves.

Late at night, Shen Jia, Fuqiu, Shen Ci, and Shen Yue sat together at the desk, grading homework like they did on an assembly line in their previous life, each person responsible for a different part.

Especially since Shen Yue had not received any special training, she was only slightly faster than the workers when it came to Arabic numerals, so she was unable to correct this part of the content at all.

Watching everyone's smooth and flowing strokes, Shen Yue looked at Shen Jia, who had a serious face, and said tentatively:

"Big sister, can I learn your special numbers with Fuqiu in the future? Don't worry, I will never reveal it to anyone else. I really want to learn it."

After spending a long time with Shen Jia, Shen Yue has already become her little fan. She has her words engraved in her heart and walks back and forth by the stove every day without any complaints.

She conscientiously carries out Shen Jia's tasks every day and strictly guards the secret tofu recipe of their workshop, although she doesn't know what is mixed in it.

Hearing her words, Shen Jia turned his eyes away from the test paper, "Aren't you already studying on your own?"

"I just figured it out on my own. How can I be taught as quickly as others? If I learn it, I can help you out."

Shen Jia's eyes kept turning around, he put down the charcoal pencil in his hand, and said seriously: "You can learn if you want, but you have to agree to my request."

"Yes! Yes! I can agree to whatever you ask, big sister."

"Once you've completed your training, you'll need to teach other workers in our workshop, ensuring everyone understands our specifications and quantities to avoid production problems."

Chen Yue thought it was simple when she heard it, and patted her chest and assured: "No problem, leave it to me!"

After this episode, the four of them started their own grading work again. Since they were calculating the scores independently, no one knew what the highest score would be this time.

The last step is the exciting time of calculating the total score. Since the four of them have learned a lot of modern calculation methods, they can calculate the total score very quickly.

Shen Jia was still calculating the score on the test paper in his hand with mental arithmetic when Fuqiu's surprised voice suddenly came from the other side:

"Look! I actually have a perfect score here!"

Shen Yue quickly leaned over and carefully examined the name written on the test paper. Because the strokes were difficult to read, she spoke word by word:

"Li--Chun--"

Fuqiu was not surprised to see this name ranked at the top, but she did not expect it to get a perfect score. After Shen Yue finished saying the name, she quickly added:

"Li Chun is one of the most conscientious people I've taught. Not only is she serious about studying and practicing calligraphy, she's also meticulous in everything she does. Every time, the dried tofu she makes has the highest pass rate."

Shen Jia also became interested in the test paper. He leaned over to examine it carefully. An image appeared in his mind, and he muttered to himself:

"Children like this know best what's good for them. Once they get an opportunity, they'll grab it. And she did this time."

Fuqiu listened to Shen Jia's words and asked, "Jia Niang, what were you talking about just now?"

"I told her that Li Chun is amazing. She was able to get full marks in a short period of time. I think she can be my focus in the future."

"Hey, I think so too."

The final tally showed that, considering both men and women combined, only Li Chun had a perfect score. Meanwhile, with Shen Jia's encouragement, the number of steward positions she had planned for remained unchanged, and the results would be announced at the workshop tomorrow.
