"Come on, have a drink."
"That feels great! I haven't felt this good in a long time. I'm so glad I did this, all thanks to Tianxiao."
Wang Tianxiao and his wife exchanged a glance across the crowd and both smiled slightly.
The intense harvesting continued in the afternoon.
The first batch of work, which was originally planned to be completed in two days, was finished before dark in just one day.
When we got back and weighed it, it weighed a full 2,700 jin (1,350 kg).
On average, each person produces about 90 jin (45 kg), which is quite fast.
Wang Tianxiao instructed everyone to move all the bags of herbs into the warehouse.
There were more than forty bags filled.
It filled almost half the warehouse.
Afterwards, it was another meal.
Before the meal, Wang Tianxiao first calculated everyone's wages based on their harvest and then distributed the change to everyone.
He originally set the price at 1.5 cents per pound, but seeing that the harvest was good, he simply raised it to 2 cents.
Those who work quickly can earn more than two yuan a day, plus two meals, some pork, and a pack of cigarettes.
The gains were considerable.
Wang Tianxiao also took pricing into consideration.
Since everyone at the station is currently paid two yuan a day, these temporary hires shouldn't be paid more than the station's long-term employees.
Otherwise, it would dampen the enthusiasm of Wu culture and its people.
In his previous life, Wang Tianxiao heard Wang Peng talk about how many business owners didn't value their long-term employees and paid new employees much higher salaries than their long-term employees.
This led to many long-term employees leaving in desperation.
He didn't want to do that.
These people followed him from nothing to something, enduring so much hardship; he couldn't let them down.
He wanted to ensure that these people's lives would not only get better and better, but would be better than the vast majority of people.
Once this year's harvest is over, he plans to raise everyone's salary to over one hundred yuan per month.
He wanted everyone to know that if they worked hard and did their jobs diligently, they wouldn't be treated unfairly and would be able to live a good life.
In the future, he plans to establish deer and sheep farms, and will also select these people to be in charge, which will increase their income.
Once his profits increase, he will continue to boost everyone's income.
May everyone live happily.
Nothing was said that night.
The next morning, just as Wang Tianxiao got up, the supply and marketing station's vehicle arrived.
This was arranged in advance with Mi Qingsong, and the first batch of herbs was collected by the supply and marketing station.
When Wang Tianxiao saw the car, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
When I bought the seeds, it was the same truck and the same driver. Almost a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the original seeds have all turned into medicinal herbs.
And a lot has happened to him in the past year.
A lot has changed.
I learned a lot.
Everyone worked together to load all the herbs onto the truck.
Wang Tianxiao continued to follow the car to town.
Upon arrival, Mi Qingsong greeted them. He untied several bags, took out some dandelions and artemisia from each, examined their color, and smelled them. He nodded in satisfaction and exclaimed, "The herbs that grow in the mountains have a stronger medicinal aroma."
"Haha, I have to thank Mr. Mi for his guidance. Otherwise, as a novice, I wouldn't have been able to grow them and wait for the harvest season."
"Xiao Wang, you're great in every way, but there's one thing I think needs to be changed," Mi Qingsong said with dissatisfaction.
"Huh?" Wang Tianxiao was stunned.
"It's you, you're being far too modest."
