Another incident occurred at the mosquito coil workshop. Jiang Zhi could hear the arguing even though she was several fields away.
And it was clear that Qin's voice was the loudest: "That won't do. You guys work all day long, and you're so slow. This place is practically taken over by your family. Others can't even get any work done. There's no way that's going to happen."
Then a man's voice came out: "So what? I'm going to do it and use it. You just need to mind your own business and not get beaten by Village Chief Jiang again."
He's fierce and ruthless every day, and he won't let anyone say a word about it. If we're talking about who's the boss, you're the real tyrant of the village.
Qin was clearly at a disadvantage; her act of robbing the lotus money was a dark history that people would bring up to criticize her at any time.
When someone brought it up, she immediately flew into a rage: "You, surnamed Lin, are you trying to go against me!"
"Qin Ling!" Jiang Zhi shouted.
Qin, who was about to fight someone by grabbing a wooden pole in the shed, was pulled back by the people around her.
Jiang Zhi didn't immediately reprimand anyone. Instead, she looked around and asked, "Is everyone idle? If you don't want to work, move on to the next batch. Have you planted your peanuts? Your cotton?"
After finishing the workshop work, there was still farm work to do, and there was always something to do, so there was no time to watch the fighting.
"Not idle, not idle at all!"
Upon seeing Village Chief Jiang arrive, the chaotic workshop immediately dispersed, with everyone busy around their own workbenches, but their ears perked up.
Jiang Zhi looked at Qin Shi, whose face was flushed with anger, and then at the man who had clashed with Qin Shi.
The man's surname was Lin. He was from a migrant family who stayed in the village. He usually worked alongside everyone else and was nothing special.
Jiang Zhi sat down on a wooden shelf to the side, took out a bamboo tube she always carried with her, which contained boiled and cooled water, and said calmly, "What's all the commotion? Where did Li Laoshi and the others go again?"
The finished mosquito coils need to be dried before quality inspection and registration into the warehouse. Li Laoshi was in charge of the last step, but he disappeared at this time.
When asked about Li Laoshi, Qin twisted her neck and said, "Li Laoshi said his wound still hurts, so I told him to go back and rest!"
Jiang Zhi almost spat out her water.
That day, when the thugs impersonated his nephew to look for his relatives, they got into a fight with the villagers, and Li Laoshi was stabbed with a dagger.
Although it looked like there was a lot of blood, it was actually only a one-centimeter-long cut that healed on the third day. He even tricked Qin into eating two big meat buns.
I can't believe they're still deceiving the Qin family...
Qin is just a naive paper tiger, she has no guile and looks fierce all the time, but she is easily fooled.
However, with so many people around, Jiang Zhi couldn't say much more, so she could only continue, "Tell me, what are you arguing about?"
Qin pointed at the man opposite her and the control panel next to him, and said angrily, "The Lin family has been occupying this control panel for two days, and no one else can do it."
Jiang Zhi heard this before she even entered the shed; it was another dispute over the stage, and this wasn't the first or second time.
When the man surnamed Lin heard Qin say that his family was taking over the table, he panicked and quickly explained, "Village Chief Jiang, we are not taking over, and there is no rule that whoever is sitting must give way. My wife, mother and children also have to work."
Indeed, there's no rule that anyone who comes to make mosquito coils has to give way to you.
Because of the piecework system, some people work long hours, and their meals are even delivered to them.
Others can't get their hands on one even after waiting for several days.
Upon hearing this, Qin immediately objected: "This is the village's workshop, not yours!"
When someone tried to take their job, the Lin family refused, and the two sides immediately started arguing again.
After arguing back and forth, Jiang Zhi finally understood the specifics of the incident.
Making mosquito coils requires mixing medicinal paste. Lin Hu is a strong laborer, so he naturally does the kneading of the paste. Others who need to press the mosquito coil pans need to get the raw materials from him.
With this advantage, he let his family occupy one of the workstations, and they occupied it for two consecutive days.
In fact, this is not an isolated case. Whether it's using a platform or getting mud, the person in charge of mixing the mud will always try to gain an advantage for themselves.
This way, one family would do it, and within a few days, they would form a tacit understanding.
However, the Lin family took too long and was slow in doing things, which others saw as a deliberate attempt to monopolize the property.
Previously, the Qin family was arrogant and domineering in the village, and no one dared to mess with them.
Now that she's making mosquito coils, she doesn't have her son and daughter-in-law around, and she's ostracized because she can't compete with other families.
After running over several times without finding a spot, I was furious.
In modern Jiangzhi, I have never done piecework. I have only heard some people say that working in a factory requires you to fight for goods and you also need to curry favor with some manager.
She didn't know the specifics of the situation, nor did she know how to handle it.
But now that he's the village chief, dealing with this is much easier; he can simply decide who does it.
However, she doesn't intend to do that...
Errui is family, and he will be in charge of managing these things from now on. Managing things is easy, but managing people is difficult. He can't handle everything, big or small, by himself.
At this time, Errui was still contacting the auction five days later, and he also didn't have time to prepare the building materials for the two houses.
Qiaoyun's personality is not suited to managing people, and besides, she is refining medicinal liquids, which is a secret formula for luxury goods.
All of Xia Xiucai's account books have backups, all of which are with Qiaoyun.
Qiaoyun was meticulous and, together with Chunfeng and Xu Dazhu, kept a complete account of every expense in the village. These three were the most important people around Jiang Zhi.
Once all the mosquito coil workshops in the villages started operating, Qiaoyun took her children and went back to the mountains with Grandpa Xiaoman.
Xiaoman was busy managing the pharmacy and didn't have time to spare.
There is an urgent need to train managers, and we also need to bring in more assistants.
Jiang Zhi looked up at Wang Xiaoju beside her: "Xiaoju, Genbao, what do you think we should do about this?"
Wang Xiaoju and Xu Genbao were standing nearby, having heard everything they needed to hear. Moreover, they wanted to stay and work in the workshop, so they should be clear about the situation here.
Wang Xiaoju didn't say anything, but nudged Xu Genbao next to her to get him to speak.
Xu Genbao scratched his head: "Aunt Qin, you have someone in your family working at the pharmacy, so you have more money. The Lin family doesn't have money, and they have elderly people and young children to support, so it's fine to let the Lin family work a little longer."
Qin immediately objected, pointing at Xu Genbao and yelling, "You're also surnamed Xu, how can you side with outsiders?"
My money was earned with my son's life. He burned his eyebrows and hair while putting out the fire.
"The Lin family has both elderly and young members, so they should do more. Other families with elderly and young members should also do more. Those with fewer members shouldn't do anything. What you're saying is nonsense."
Others chimed in, "Genbao, according to you, those with more people should be used, while those with fewer people won't get a share."
“Yes, if the time is allocated by the number of people, there are only ten tables here, so a bachelor like me wouldn’t qualify.”
Xu Genbao was speechless after being bombarded with criticism.
The workshop is owned by everyone in the village, and everyone is entitled to earn money; it's not distributed according to the number of people.
Jiang Zhi smiled slightly. Xiao Manye once said that Xu Genbao was a simple-minded and soft-hearted person, and it really was true.
Wang Xiaoju frowned and sighed as she looked at Xu Genbao. This wasn't solving the problem; it was making things worse.
Jiang Zhi wasn't going to waste any time and asked Wang Xiaoju directly, "Xiaoju, what do you think?"
Wang Xiaoju said, "Since it's a workshop in the village, everyone should use it in the same way. I think there should be a timer."
After each period of time is completed, you must move on to the next round. No matter how much you can do, only this period of time is truly yours.
Furthermore, they had to draw lots to get a turn; they couldn't just do it whenever they wanted, and had to go back to work in the fields before their turn to perform!
"Great!" Jiang Zhi clapped her hands. Wang Xiaoju's idea was good; it was fair and impartial, and she didn't favor anyone.
The other people in the shed also thought it was a good idea, just like when they were building the house, they would line up and maybe they would have time to work with others.
