Lin Jinyue had the idea of making bamboo pens, but there was no way to promote it.
She found that even the people who wanted to open a teahouse in Shawan County might not be able to get enough people.
Lin Jinyue would never call those who were studying over. She attached great importance to literacy education. When she had time, she would even rewrite the Thousand Character Classic and Three Character Classic in simplified Chinese to teach literacy to those farmers in the village.
Simplified Chinese characters are simple and easy to recognize, and knowing some common characters is enough.
Although Lin Jinyue was reluctant to go to school to practice calligraphy, it was because she had studied all the books taught by Mr. Tan, and felt that learning traditional Chinese characters was too low in cost-effectiveness, so she was unwilling to go.
Lin Jinyue taught the villagers simplified Chinese characters and Arabic numerals whenever she had time.
In the future, you will not be cheated when leasing houses and land, or signing deeds.
After learning Arabic numerals, they found it easier to keep accounts.
Lin Jinyue planned that the teahouse's kitchen would need at least eight people, one to keep accounts and one to manage everything.
Ten people is best.
However, there are already more than a dozen people in Yunheji Snack Shop, including the one who sells fried snails and the one who makes coconut oil.
Some people had to stay in the village to farm the land. For example, Carpenter Wang and his family were busy building ships and could not spare the time. Blacksmith Li also began to teach his teenage nephews how to make ironware to make the ironware that Lin Jinyue wanted and the ironware needed by the villagers. However, there was not enough time, so he had to make arrowheads secretly.
The kind of arrows that can penetrate armor.
In short, everyone is very busy.
Lin Jinyue began to worry. How should she gather the ten people for Yunheji Teahouse?
Lin Jinyue then turned her attention to the homes of Fat Chen and Jiang Shou.
Jiang Shou's family has many male members, and the fields they acquired had long been cultivated. Jiang Shou's three sons took turns herding sheep, and occasionally learned to read from his grandson.
They are the most idle family.
Lin Jinyue then assigned the job of making milk tea to Jiang Shou's two sons.
It just so happened that milk was inconvenient to transport, so they felt relieved and decided to just take the sheep over to be milked.
Because Chen Pang wanted to fish, all his family members went fishing. Since he moved into the village, Chen Pang's family caught a lot of fish every day. Lin Jinyue said that his family didn't need to farm.
Fat Chen has only two sons, and the oldest of his grandchildren is only twelve years old, so they must study.
Lin Jinyue asked Chen Pang's eldest son to help make wine.
Fat Chen and Jiang Shou were both a little bit incredulous when they heard what Lin Jinyue said.
"What? Let those guys in our family go over and help?"
Lin Jinyue nodded: "Are you willing? The money is about the same as our village, you get 50%, but you need to provide goat milk, I get 20%, and the village gets 30%."
Jiang Shou thanked him repeatedly.
Neither he nor Fat Chen had expected that Lin Jinyue would be so confident in handing over such an important business to them not long after they moved in.
They came from Chenjia Village!
Lin Jinyue is definitely not worried. If they calculate the money they will earn in the future, as long as they have brains, they will definitely not betray.
So, the next day, Lin Jinyue took them to the city to tidy up the teahouse.
The people in Chenjia Village have been keeping an eye on this place.
Everyone was very curious. Would Fat Chen and Jiang Shou be ostracized by that group of people if they went to Yunhe Village?
Not to mention Fat Chen, Jiang Shou had been under pressure from Chen Dawei and didn't talk much to that group of people. He was even hesitant when he wanted to buy a sheep that night, fearing that Chen Dawei would cause trouble for his family.
Can this be handled well?
But who would have known that the next day Lin Jinyue would take them to Shawan County.
The people in Chenjia Village were discussing: "Isn't this the gang that's taking them to make money together?"
Chen Dawei curled his lips, "How much money can they make?"
At this time, someone said, "You can make a lot. I heard the other day that even if you don't work, you can get two taels of silver per person. If you work, wouldn't you make more in a month?"
The people in Chenjia Village no longer support Chen Dawei like they did before.
Everyone wanted Chen Dawei to drive them out of Chenjia Village.
They are really jealous.
Many people once again wondered: Why weren't they the ones being driven out?
Chen Dawei refused to believe it: "How is that possible? There are still many people in their own village who are farming."
Unexpectedly, someone came to sabotage him again.
Someone who had a good relationship with Jiang Shou's family immediately replied, "I got it. Wow, that kid is really generous. Both of Jiang Shou's sons went with him."
At this time, someone came over and asked, "How much money is it a month?"
The man shook his head: "Even if Jiang Shou's wife doesn't say anything, there are still many. I see Jiang Shou and his wife's mouths are grinning from ear to ear. His family has two sons going to help."
Others asked again: "Are there any conditions?"
The man continued to shake his head: "No, he just said that they must finish planting the land given to them. His family raises sheep, and if they expand the scale, they don't have to plant the land."
Everyone's eyes almost fell to the ground.
"Does Jiang Shou still farm?"
A friend who was familiar with Jiang Shou said, "Of course they have to plant crops. Herding sheep won't interfere with anything. Besides, without large tracts of grassland, they can't herd so many sheep."
When the people in Chenjia Village learned that they only needed to farm and do nothing else, they could make a lot of money.
Each one is bubbling with sourness.
Chen Dawei sneered: "I don't believe they are so generous."
Someone retorted: "What's the point of whether you believe it or not? The money is not going into your pocket."
Chen Dawei was choked by him.
But it made him angry.
Chen Dawei threatened: "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that? Believe me or not..."
The man immediately retorted: "Come on, come on, get me out of here!"
They really hoped that Chen Dawei would drive them away as soon as possible.
Who can bear this?
Oh, they also want to make big money with that group of people.
Chen Dawei was almost angry to death.
*
Lin Jinyue came back in the evening.
Most of the people live in the small courtyard behind the teahouse, which needs to be cleaned up.
Jiang Mi and Jiang Xi, Jiang Shou's two sons, both followed back and would take a few sheep with them for milking tomorrow.
The two were rowing while listening to Lin Jinyue's big cake.
Lin Jinyue: "You guys work hard. Last month, everyone who sells chili oil made 40 taels each. The snack shop has made more than 20 taels in less than a month."
The brothers Jiang Mi and Jiang Xi were very excited.
Jiang Mi expressed his loyalty: "Yueyue, don't worry, no matter what those people from Chenjia Village ask in the future, I will never reveal a single word."
Lin Jinyue nodded: "Okay, you came late, and there are some things we didn't have time to talk about. If you have time, remember to learn to read well. There will be an exam in three months, and those with excellent results will be promoted to managers. If you are not elected this time, you will be given priority to those who can read and count when you open a shop next time."
She added, "I hope you can get an extra five taels of silver every month in the future."
Their eyes lit up at once.
They both asked uncertainly, "We just moved here, can we also participate in the selection?"
Lin Jinyue was a little puzzled: "Why not? Aren't they all from Yunhe Village?"
After hearing this, Jiang Mi and Jiang Shou, who were originally cautious, suddenly had tears in their eyes.
Even when I was in Chenjia Village before, I had never felt this sense of belonging.
They must learn to read and work hard to help Lin Jinyue solve her problems!
