There wasn't a breath of wind, the sun was warm, and everyone was wearing cotton-padded clothes or overcoats—no wonder they were uncomfortable.
Besides Wang Tianxiao's family of four, the station now also has Liu Yuan and Wu Wenhua's two brothers and their family of four, as well as ten long-term workers responsible for cultivating medicinal seedlings.
These workers act as team leaders during busy seasons, but once the season is over and other villagers can go home, they are left behind to work at the station long-term.
Firstly, it helps them learn more about medicinal herbs, and secondly, it helps to stabilize morale and foster relationships.
And incidentally, cultivate a habit.
Agricultural thinking and industrial thinking are two different modes of thinking.
Many people consider crop cultivation as a type of agriculture, but that's not entirely accurate.
While crop cultivation falls under the category of agriculture in terms of land use, its operation requires a worker's mindset.
Otherwise, it will inevitably fail to grow well or fail to scale up.
The agricultural mindset emphasizes timely harvesting, taking care of one's own interests, and adjusting work and rest according to seasonal changes.
When I'm busy, I'm extremely busy; when I'm free, I'm bored to death.
For example, in winter, most people have nothing to do, so they basically go from house to house looking for people to play mahjong with.
It's fine if you don't send money, but if you do, you might lose all the profits you've worked hard for a year to someone else. Losing money might feel good for a moment, but life will be tough when you get home.
So either chaos ensued, or the wife took the baby and went back to her parents' home in a huff.
It's just a bunch of troublesome things.
Industrial thinking is different.
Industrialized operations do not rely on individual abilities and experience, or rather, they rely on more than just those.
Industry demands a collaborative mindset.
No matter how capable or skilled a person is, if they cannot integrate into a group, they will inevitably be eliminated.
Another important aspect of the industrial model is that industry requires long-term, stable development and operation.
It's not that we'll do it this year and then not next year.
They only make quick money seasonally and in specific cycles.
Therefore, industrialization is not just about developing factories and starting to produce new products.
Instead, it directly promotes industrialization thinking.
The replacement of agriculture with industrialization is a path that any civilization and system must inevitably traverse.
Wang Tianxiao came from an era of highly developed industrialization in later generations, so he naturally understood the benefits that industrialization brought to everyone and the biggest basis for economic development in later generations.
Whether it was his depot, the brick and tile factory, or the prefabrication plant, he tried his best to implement this mindset, making all the work orderly, systematic, and replicable.
In this way, the core technologies of all production and planting are not controlled by one or a few people, nor can it be said that things cannot be done without someone or that the project cannot continue to develop without a certain process.
Instead, it leverages the ability to replicate, transferring a mature industrial model to another location. As long as it is done well according to standards and institutionalization, a new industrial entity can emerge immediately.
This is his goal.
He believed that all his endeavors would eventually make rapid progress, reaching a level and scale that was unimaginable to him at that time.
Planning ahead is essential.
This way, we won't be overwhelmed by sudden waves of change and lose our way forward.
With his insistence, everyone gradually adapted to this model.
Needless to say, Wu Wenhua and his wife Wu Qiancai, as well as the ten new villagers who came later, have now been tied to the station.
Through observation, they also realized that if the station was doing well, they would be doing well too.
If the farm can grow good crops and make money, their profits will be much better.
Moreover, although each person was responsible for cultivating different types of herbs, everyone kept records so they could learn from each other and study together.
Skills should be developed by everyone, not by one person alone.
Wang Tianxiao did not set specific limits on everyone's working hours; he only stipulated which projects to be done, and everyone could arrange their own specific times.
If observation is required at night, then work more at night.
During the day, there's nothing to do; you can play or sleep as you please. You have complete freedom at work and don't have to worry about any disciplinary restrictions.
Wang Tianxiao was drawing inspiration from the kind of flexible working hours his son had described in his previous life.
As long as there is a sufficient workload, the details can be arranged directly by everyone.
Wang Tianxiao got what he wanted, and the employees made money, so their moods weren't too affected.
A win-win situation.
"Dad, you're up?"
"Dad, you're up?"
Wang Fang and Wang Peng ran over together, each grabbing one of Wang Tianxiao's legs.
Wang Fang and Hongwei are now attending kindergarten in town, going for a short class every afternoon. Although they mostly play, it's a good opportunity for them to get to know other children, develop their teamwork skills, and broaden their horizons.
"Where is the grandeur?"
"My little brother is pooping."
"All right."
Because of his young age, Xiao Hongwei quickly recovered from the shadow of his parents' absence.
I'm very happy living in the mountains.
Wang Tianxiao and Li Yali did not treat Hongwei badly because of his parents' relationship; on the contrary, they treated him very well.
So that he can also enjoy the warmth of family.
Flowers are more troublesome, though.
She was old enough to understand what had happened in her family.
Her father died, her mother almost dragged her into a fire, and then abandoned her.
This kind of pain is unbearable even for an adult, let alone a child.
