Then, seventy or eighty women started shouting.

“We’re quitting. You completely distrust us and treat us like thieves.”

"Even though we are from the countryside, we still have our pride."

"You city kid, how dare you look down on us? What's wrong with you? Don't you consider us country folk to be human?"

"Fine, then don't do it. Do you think we're interested in making this money? Let's leave and see how you're going to deliver this order."

A group of people made a racket and then, as expected, left.

Everyone discussed it amongst themselves, and according to them, such a large order had a tight timeframe.

Jiang Tiecheng could have done it with just a few words, but we still have to rely on the women in their village.

Jiang Tiecheng should have begged them, but he insisted on his own way and blocked everyone's path.

These people decided to take the risk of blackmailing Jiang Tiecheng, since if the order wasn't completed, they would have to be responsible for the compensation.

It has nothing to do with them.

But after their argument, if Jiang Tiecheng compromises, his family's bedding and clothes will be taken care of.

This is entirely beneficial to them.

These old women will actually do it if they're incited.

Everyone was glancing at Jiang Tiecheng out of the corner of their eyes, waiting to see what he would do.

Jiang Tiecheng smiled.

"Alright, if any of you want to leave, then cross your names out here."

Today, in front of everyone, whoever wants to leave is making it clear now that this opportunity won't come again.

This is a win-win situation where both parties are willing. Since no one wants to make money or feed themselves, I have no objection.

The women were a little dumbfounded, and the leader shouted something from below.

"Don't be afraid of him, he's just putting on an act. If we don't make him quilts, let's see who can make those 10,000 quilts for him."

"They'll probably have to beg us to come when the time comes."

"Why should we be bossed around by some young city kid?"

With their emotions ignited, the wealthy people who had just caused trouble immediately began to speak up.

"We're quitting."

"They won't let us go home to work, and they'll make us work here in the cold. Even the landlords of the past weren't as heartless as you."

"I quit, I quit, let's go."

In a short while, a large group of them left.

Jiang Tiecheng counted the remaining people; there were only 150 people left, which was not bad, at least there were still 150 people left.

Sister-in-law Huang was a little anxious. How could 150 people make 10,000 quilts?

They each know their own skills; most of them can make about three quilts a day.

150 people can only make a maximum of 450 quilts a day. If they want to make 10,000 quilts, it would take at least a month.

How can it be made in a week?

The remaining people looked at each other, all afraid to take responsibility.

Jiang Tiecheng clapped his hands.

"Alright, is anyone else leaving? If no one is leaving, then we have no right to leave now. From now on, you will follow my orders."

The remaining women were all thinking about earning some money for their families, mainly because their families were really struggling to make ends meet, and they had no right to argue with those people.

To be precise, the situation was beyond our control, and some people were also quite honest.

Jiang Tiecheng let them form teams on their own, and sure enough, the 150 people quickly formed 75 teams.

Jiang Tiecheng put his mind to it.

The original plan was to work in pairs, with two people sharing a blanket, which would speed things up. However, it seems that something has gone wrong and a large number of people have left, so we have to adjust our strategy.

Jiang Tiecheng observed for a while and found that all 75 groups were performing well.

After all, everyone is very good at needlework; these days, every household makes their own clothes and shoes.

Everyone is a skilled needle and thread maker.

Making a quilt isn't a problem; if the stitches are a little too big or too small, no one will complain.

Even so, it would take at least an hour and a half for two people to make one quilt.

The main problem is that making a quilt is not as simple as just sewing it with a needle and thread.

The fabric must first be sewn together, and then cotton must be laid on top.

This cotton is hard work. At this point, the cotton has to be unrolled one roll at a time and then torn apart bit by bit to make it fluffy.

In short, this affected the progress of making one quilt.

Jiang Tiecheng's eyes flickered, and he instantly had an idea.

The key to this is the rational allocation of labor. This is an experience I gained from working on the assembly line in my own factory. Why is the assembly line so fast?

Everyone has their own responsibilities.

Jiang Tiecheng examined the quilt for a moment and immediately announced the new measures.

It only costs 50 cents to make a quilt.

He divided the entire quilt into sections.

It takes nine threads to process the entire quilt.

It costs 4 cents to sew a single thread and 10 cents to lay down cotton.

When the news was announced, everyone was surprised.

Jiang Tiecheng then made further assignments, allowing everyone to choose the twenty-five people needed to spread the cotton.

It takes twelve people to sew the quilt and the backing.

The rest of the work involves sewing quilts; participants can sign up themselves.

Everyone was weighing the options in their minds, but surprisingly, as soon as they heard about it, everyone eagerly signed up.

The task was quickly assigned, and we followed the procedure for the next three or four hours.

The people responsible for sewing the back of the child only needed to sew one thread, which greatly increased the speed.

Those spreading the cotton were eager to earn a penny, so they spread it very quickly.

And you know what? With this kind of allocation, everyone else got really into the swing of things.
