Who doesn't have some temper? What's more, he had to recite the book in front of the leader. Zhang Degen didn't care that the village was busy and still decided to repair the dormitory.
Li Miaomiao, on the other hand, reminded Zhang Degen, "Uncle Degen, school matters can be put aside. The dormitories will be ready by the time school starts in the spring next year. The most important thing right now is the factory. Only when the factory is built can we increase production and receive orders."
"That's right. Thank goodness you reminded us that we are different from Zhaojia Village. The most important thing is the factory."
At this point, Zhang Degen felt a little worried: "I discussed it with Accountant Wu yesterday. If we continue with the current pace, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up. We only have so many strong laborers in the village, and the soap workshop can't be shut down."
"Uncle Degen, the soap workshop is getting bigger now, and we definitely don't have enough manpower in our village. As I said before, even if we have fewer people, we must follow the regulations. We must not lower the standards and affect the quality of the soap. Otherwise, we will destroy our own reputation. There are so many people waiting for us to slap ourselves in the face."
"My accountant and I both remember this and will never joke about it. However, we are short on manpower, so we are discussing whether we should recruit people from other villages."
Only now did Zhang Degen feel that Li Miaomiao was truly far-sighted and had anticipated a situation like today. At that time, he felt that there were not enough people in his own village to accommodate, so there was no place for people from other villages.
But now these things are really beyond the reach of the people in their own village alone.
"Of course we have to recruit people. This is imperative. Otherwise, how can we increase production? This must be done as soon as possible. After all, the workers in the soap workshop still need training. They can't start right away."
After hearing what Li Miaomiao said, Zhang Degen felt the urgency of the matter. He originally thought that the factory had not been built yet, so there was no rush. Guoan’s wife’s concerns were very reasonable. The group of people entering the factory had to be trained in advance, otherwise it would take a lot of time. The most important thing for them now was time.
"Okay, I'll go put up the notice and make the arrangements."
"Uncle Degen, you could learn from Zhaojia Village on this point. Give quotas to each village and let them choose the right candidate. If they fail to meet the requirements and choose an unsuitable candidate, then send everyone from that village back."
This is the best solution Li Miaomiao can think of at the moment, so as to avoid recruiting unsuitable people and causing trouble for their village.
"That's a good idea. Only the people in our own village know everything. Even if they want to do something, they won't do anything rash because we're sending everyone back together."
"The other thing is the manpower to build the factory. I see that Niujia Village has a lot of strong laborers. Even if we need to make tiles, there are still many vacancies. If we are willing to hire people from their village, they will definitely be happy to do it. I wonder how they will perform at work?"
Li Miaomiao had only been to Niujia Village once, and her understanding of the village was one-sided, so she spoke with some hesitation.
Zhang Degen laughed when he heard Li Miaomiao say this: "Let's not talk about anything else. When it comes to hard work, there's no one in our surrounding villages who's more capable than the people of Niujia Village. Their village lives in poverty, not because they're not diligent, but because the land is poor and they can't grow good crops."
"I'm just giving you a suggestion. You'll have to handle the details, Uncle Degen. After all, I don't know as much about the situation in these villages as you do."
"Okay, with these ideas you've come up with, I have a clear idea in mind. Leave the rest to me."
"Oh, Uncle Degen, there's one more thing. I went to my parents' house earlier and thought we would definitely need to recruit people, but I just agreed to the village leader out of courtesy. If they need help, we can give them a few spots. If you think it's appropriate, I'll let my parents know."
"That's nothing, of course there's no problem. You're not breaking any rules. They have to come and take the test themselves, and only if they meet the requirements can they be admitted."
"Okay then. I'll send a message over right away."
Of course Li Miaomiao knew that this did not violate the rules, she just said hello out of caution to avoid some things being spread around and making things look different.
Not to mention that Li Miaomiao spread the news to her mother's village, Lianhua Village. Her news was sent out much earlier than Zhang Degen's. The captain of Lianhua Village knew that Li Miaomiao was concerned about this matter and was very pleased. After all, she was a girl from their Lianhua Village.
"Captain, my daughter remembers what happened in Lotus Village, but she's in a difficult position. If anyone from our village goes there, please don't bring this up, or it'll make things difficult for her."
Li Miaomiao didn't actually say this, but as parents, Li Degui and He Guixiang knew that their daughter had sent the news for their sake, so how could they be willing to cause trouble for her? They always had to think more about her, so they spoke these words to the team leader in a frank and sincere manner.
"I understand. Miaomiao is a good child and a kindhearted person. Since the people in our village have accepted her kindness, we will definitely not cause her any more trouble. Otherwise, we will be sorry for her."
This is what the captain promised Li Degui, and he actually did it.
"Our village has the quota, ten in total, which is quite a lot. But there's one thing we must do strictly according to Fanglin Village's recruitment requirements. We can't discredit Miaomiao or let her down. We must do better than the people in other villages. Fanglin Village's soap workshop will only develop better in the future. If the people we select this time do well, there will be more quotas in the future. On the contrary, if the people we select don't do their job well and are rejected by Fanglin Village, affecting the village, don't blame me for being rude. No one will forgive this black sheep."
"Don't worry, Captain. We've saved all of this. It's so easy to get such an opportunity, we will definitely cherish it."
It is also because of the good development of the soap workshop in Fanglin Village that they have the opportunity to enjoy the same treatment as the workers in the city. I heard that the soap workshop in Fanglin Village may become a soap factory in the future, and then they will be the same as other workers.
But there are only ten places, and everyone wants one, so the competition is very fierce.
This kind of thing not only happened in Lianhua Village, but also in several nearby villages, which also got more or less quotas, and the competition was very fierce.
Here, Pei Guoan also kept his promise and got the construction drawings of the soap factory in the city. He also went to the county several times with Accountant Wu to expand the soap workshop into a soap factory.
"Now that this matter has been settled, Uncle Degen and Uncle Wu can rest assured. All we have to do next is to lead everyone to build the factory steadily."
