Time passes slowly.
The acquisition work by Zhao Jun and Fusu is still going smoothly.
The focus now is on the work of Qingliu and Xiao He.
Since Xiao He received the order from Zhao Jun, he quickly devoted himself to the preparation work of the entire cotton workshop.
He thought of many detailed plans overnight and was ready to do a great job with full confidence.
After finishing a day's purchasing work, Zhao Jun returned to the house and saw Qingliu walking in a hurry.
She thought about it and decided to call Qingliu to talk to her.
"Green Willow."
Hearing a voice calling her, Qingliu quickly turned around and saw it was an adult.
"Sir, you are back from your work. What's going on?"
She quickly walked to Zhao Jun's side.
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask if everything went smoothly with your preparations for the workshop."
She was a little worried that Qingliu didn't dare to let go and do it boldly.
"Sir, actually, when you said you wouldn't care at the beginning, I was a little worried, but now I have figured it out."
"You've said that to me many times before. I believe I can do it this time."
"Besides, I've been by your side for so long, I can't lose to Xiao He."
Qingliu smiled brightly, without the previous worry, but full of determination.
"Okay, if there's anything you can't handle, just ask me. Come on."
Zhao Jun smiled brightly and encouraged her.
It seems that her encouragement is of no use, Qingliu has grown a lot.
Xiao He and Qing Liu quickly came up with a feasible plan.
The next day, Qingliu went back to her old job, recruiting workers.
The people in the north had not yet come out of the joy of purchasing cotton when another big event happened.
The county magistrate's office issued another notice, saying that they wanted to recruit female workers with experience in hand weaving.
We will teach everyone how to weave cotton and make cotton clothes, and pay them monthly.
There were already many people watching the fun outside the county magistrate's mansion.
Xiao He and Qing Liu wrote a very detailed set of procedures, including what kind of workers to recruit.
The monthly salary, working hours, etc. are very detailed.
Mr. Zhao has looked at the plan and thinks it is very well done, so it can be implemented as planned.
Xiao He and Qing Liu were promoting their work in the north in an orderly manner.
No one had ever heard of a workshop that only accepted women.
There are many women in the north, but most of them take care of the household. I have never heard of women going out to earn money.
But it seems that women are better at weaving.
For a time, all the women in the north were in an uproar.
This is organized by the government, and they pay people monthly for it. It's a very tight schedule, and many people are eager to try it.
Tu Feng is from a small, remote village in the north.
Her hometown was hit by a disaster, with mountain torrents and landslides, and almost half of the people in the village died.
Among them were her parents, grandparents and brothers. In the end, only she and a younger sister survived.
But she was not sad, and even felt a little secretly happy in her heart.
Finally got rid of that family.
She finally didn't have to work all day, only be able to eat a little and still get beaten.
In addition, she will soon reach the age of marriage, and her family will sell her and use the money to leave for her younger brothers.
Now, everything is over, and those damn brothers are gone.
She is free.
She quietly left the small village with her sister.
They begged for food along the way, and although it was very difficult, they finally arrived at the county town, the largest city in the north.
Along the way, she heard about the prosperity here and knew that it was developing very well.
She believed that since she had hands and feet and could work, she would be able to lead a better life with her sister.
Today is the third day since they arrived in Beidi City.
Tu Feng was almost dazzled by the prosperity here. She had never seen such people from outside the Great Wall before.
"Sister, here, this is what the curly-haired guy in the market gave me when I helped him move things."
Tu Feng happily handed a bun to her eight-year-old sister.
"This place is really prosperous, and the merchants in the market are all very wealthy."
Tu Feng squatted under a tree next to Jidu Market and talked to her sister.
She has been here for three days and has already figured out the entire market.
Some of the merchants there really needed helpers, and Tu Feng could get some food by helping them.
She is now thinking that she should find a more stable businessman.
She is now looking for work everywhere.
Moreover, she likes it here and wants to settle down here.
Now my sister and I can only sleep on the ground in the open air, but I’m afraid we won’t be able to do that when the weather gets colder.
Tu Feng sighed deeply and decided to keep working hard.
"Sister, you eat too." The girl's face was dirty but her smile was bright.
Tu Feng thought, it was all worth it.
"Why don't you ask your girl to give it a try? She's definitely skilled at making clothes. The monthly salary is thirty yuan, which is quite a lot."
"If this workshop didn't only want female workers, how could these girls get their turn?"
Outside the market, two old women were chatting as they hurried past.
But Tu Feng heard what they said clearly.
Recruiting female workers, thirty cents a month!
Tu Feng quickly stood up and pulled her sister toward the street.
She asked as she walked and found out that this was indeed the case and that they were recruiting workers at the gate of the county magistrate's mansion.
Thirty cents a month!
Tu Feng thought about it. Thirty cents. She had never seen so much money before.
She gathered her courage and walked towards the county magistrate's mansion with determination.
Such a good thing should always be tried.
The long queue in front of the county magistrate's office has never stopped in the past two days.
Xiao He and Qing Liu were interviewing female workers here, and half of the women in the north came to try out.
They had some hand-woven items in front of them, mainly to test everyone.
Xiao He had already written down the names of many selected female workers in the notebook in his hand.
Wait until the recruitment is over and then post it out.
Tu Feng and her sister quietly lined up at the back.
Soon, a lot of people lined up behind her.
The team was moving at a fairly fast pace.
Qingliu and the others knew that there were many people, so the tests were carried out very quickly.
About half an hour later, we were finally about to arrive at Tu Feng.
After the girl in front of her left, Tu Feng walked to the front nervously.
Qingliu looked up at the girl, who was about fifteen years old, and also saw the little girl of seven or eight years old holding her hand.
"Here are some things for weaving. Try it and we'll see."
Qingliu said softly, she was always kind to such a pair of little girls.
"good."
Tu Feng took the thing nervously, his hands moving very quickly.
When she was at home, she was the one who had to mend clothes for everyone in the family, so of course she could do it.
Xiao He took a look at the little girl's actions and silently wrote down her name in the notebook.
"Okay, you can go now. The list of selected candidates will be announced at the entrance of the County Magistrate's Mansion in three days. Come and see it then."
Qingliu said as he watched them leave.
