"Of course, I happen to be short of someone to collect the peppers and keep the accounts, so let Chunhua do it. This child is clever, and to be honest, she has had this talent since she was a child."

Liu's son then thought of his own daughter, Yinxia, ​​and asked, "Auntie, we've been neighbors for many years. Could you let Yinxia help out at the school? I'd like her to learn accounting so she won't be fooled when she starts a small business. I'm scared just thinking about the Shen family. I'm afraid Yinxia will run into that kind of in-laws again."

Any mother could understand Aunt Liu's feelings. Liang Shuyan thought about it and agreed. Yinxia was the same way. From a young age, no matter what her family needed help with, she would always follow behind and help, calling her "Auntie" this and "Auntie" that, just like her own children.

"Well, how about this? Let Yinxia audit some classes at the school and clean up the classroom while she's at it. I'll talk to the headmaster about giving her 10 coins a month. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu slapped her thigh with joy and said, "What a wonderful thing! If that's the case, then I'll donate another table and chair to the school. Anyway, that table is just sitting idle at my house and is of no use."

"Alright, that's settled then. I'll give the order in a bit and have Yinxia go to the school."

Aunt Liu smiled broadly, holding Liang Shuyan's hand with gratitude, speechless. Then she asked, "By the way, have you harvested all your wheat? I was planning to help you after I finished helping my in-laws."

Liang Shuyan laughed heartily: "No need, our family's grain has been greatly helped by our in-laws these past two days. It's been growing like crazy in the wheat field, faster than a machine!"

The people who had been summoned stood neatly in the courtyard, waiting for the host to speak. Da Shan rubbed his hands awkwardly, not knowing what to say. He coughed twice and said, "How about this, you wait a moment. I'll have my mother say that the tea workshop was set up by my mother. We were just assistants."

Seeing this, Aunt Liu pushed Liang Shuyan and said, "Alright, I won't nag anymore. You go quickly. Dashan doesn't know what to say, so you go and tell him!"

Liang Shuyan came to the crowd, raised her hands and clapped twice: "Listen to me, everyone. With everyone's help, our workshop has been successfully built and is about to be put into use. The work in the tea workshop is not too hard, but I want you all to abide by our workshop's rules and be obedient. I will have Dashan write down the specific details and post them on the wall later. Of course, considering that we are all from the same village, we will give you two days off every week. Those with children at home can wash their children's clothes and take care of their families. Men can go back and help their families with the work in the fields."

Upon hearing that there were still two days off this week, the crowd couldn't help but make a fuss.

"Oh, it's really great to be able to rest two days a week. Actually, I don't need to rest. Since I work in a village, it's very convenient to go home whenever I want."

"That's right. My husband works at the tofu shop next door. The tea farmers are exhausted. They don't get any holidays. They even have to work overtime when it's time to leave, and they don't get paid for it."

Liang Shuyan continued, "These are your benefits. Of course, our workshop also has holidays during festivals, and those who perform well will receive benefits. The specific benefits might be rice, cloth, or something like that. In addition, everyone's monthly salary is supposed to be 10 copper coins, but it will vary slightly depending on each person's performance. Also, our operating procedures must be kept secret. If anyone dares to leak them, don't blame me for being ruthless. If caught, you will be fired immediately!"

“Oh my, 10 coins! My husband works as a bricklayer on a construction site in town, and he only earns less than 8 coins a month. He works from dawn till dusk and has to walk back and forth. We are so lucky. We can work right here in our own neighborhood and earn 10 coins a month. It’s wonderful!”

Mr. Su nodded: "That's right, Jin's Tea House is a good choice. Now that the grain has been harvested, there's not much work to do at home to earn some money. Besides, there are only a few of us who can work at the workshop, so we're all lucky. Work hard, and Aunt Dashan will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

"Yes, that's right. Mr. Su is absolutely right. As long as we follow Aunt Dashan, we'll definitely make money. We women stay home all day taking care of the kids and cooking, and our men never give us a good look. Now that we're out working and earning money, let's see if he'll still boss us around like a master!"

Hearing this, Liang Shuyan felt a deep connection. In ancient times, it was indeed the case that even if women took on all the chores at home, men would still look down on them, despise them, and even commit domestic violence. She believed that as long as women had money, all of this would change!

"Yes, that's right. As long as we women earn more than men, I don't believe men will still dare to boss you around at home. Okay, that's all I wanted to say. Go back and get ready, you'll be at work tomorrow."

While clapping his hands, Zhao Heng said with a smile, "Aunt Jin is really amazing. Now that you mention it, I'm a little confused. But why do I feel like Aunt Jin didn't assign me any work? I don't need wages, just food and lodging."

How could Liang Shuyan forget Zhao Heng? He was the county magistrate's son! Thinking of this, she pondered for a moment and said, "For you, the most important thing is to study. The school still needs you and Dashan. As the number of students increases every day, Mr. Su can't handle it all by himself. So, I've decided that you and Dashan can stay at the school and teach the children properly. When you have free time, you can help your aunt with some things. That's fine."

Teaching at the school was just a pretext. Since the county magistrate trusted her so much, she had to keep Zhao Heng in check. Naturally, his studies could not be neglected, and she wanted to find a private tutor to teach him.

Dashan took out a piece of paper and wrote down about 15 rules on it, covering everything from working hours to the duration of work, as well as workshop benefits, including fines and rewards.

Liang Shuyan picked it up and glanced at it, then pointed to the fifth item and said, "Do you think leaking the formula is a small matter? This isn't a warning or punishment; it should be dismissal, never to be hired again, and a deduction of all wages!"

She had to make sure the workers knew what the consequences would be if they crossed her line or betrayed her.

Sanwang was in charge of delivering cold noodles. Since she didn't have extra time to manage the teahouse, she wanted the old lady to manage it for the time being. As for the remaining key personnel in the workshop, she would let the old lady choose them.

"Mother, I'm entrusting the management of the teahouse to you. As for how to manage it, I'll need your recommendations. Of course, I'd like our family members to do the key positions! For example, I'd like Ruyan to start by teaching this child how to do the accounting."
