Although Wang Zhuzi was poaching people privately, he was too greedy and wanted to poach too many people, so the news spread quickly and became a secret known to all the kiln workers.
But it was hard to bring this up openly. Lu Tian was furious and said, "Li Tie, what do you mean by that? No one said they were going to leave the Paektu Mountain Kiln."
His shout made everyone in the room stop writing. Lu Tian regretted his impulsiveness and quickly expressed his loyalty, "No matter what others think, I will never leave."
This won't do! Wang Zhuzi stopped sitting and watching the show and stepped forward to smooth things over. "Don't be angry, I know that the Kang family has been very kind to you, but even if you don't consider your own future, you have to think about your family."
Lu Tian took advantage of the situation and said with sobs, "I am a disaster victim. It is the big boss who gave my family a bite to eat, so we can survive until now. But I have a grandmother and young children. The monthly income earned by my wife and I is not enough for the whole family.
I'm not like Li Tie. Li Tie's family has four people working and receiving monthly wages, so they live well. Last month, my grandmother was seriously ill, but I had no money to buy medicine. I... I really had no choice.
Li Tie was also a disaster victim. "With two people working, your family could earn more than two taels of silver per month. Lu Tian, before fleeing the famine, could your family possibly have earned two taels of silver per month?"
He looked at everyone and asked, "Which family that knows how to save money doesn't have extra money?" A family of five can definitely have enough to eat with one or two taels of silver a month, and they can also occasionally have meat.
No one spoke, and Lu Tian felt even more embarrassed. "Don't try to sow discord here. You've only been to school for a year, and I'm an honest farmer. I know I can't argue with you!"
"The facts are right in front of us. There is nothing we can say."
Wang Zhuzi advised Lu Tian, "Brother Lu, don't be angry. Li Tie's family earns a lot of money every month, so he's naturally willing to stay here. Brother Lu's family is struggling to make ends meet, so they'll have to find another way out. No one needs to blame anyone else, as no one is wrong."
Li Tie bowed to Wang Zhuzi and said, "Manager Wang is right. Manager Wang said that as long as you go to Shengzhou Yinjia Kiln, your monthly wages will be doubled. We all know this.
Anyone who wants to go with Steward Wang will definitely go to Steward Wang privately, so you don’t have to spend the whole day at the kiln trying to persuade everyone.”
Wang Zhuzi was so embarrassed when someone pointed the finger at his face that he just threw his sleeves and left!
The person next to him asked Li Tie, "Are you really not tempted? Our monthly salary is 1,300 wen now, but if we go to Shengzhou, it will be 2,600 wen. We can increase our monthly salary by 500 wen every year, and we can also take time off and receive festival gifts."
Li Tie's lips curled up in a mocking smile. "It only took me four months from not knowing how to paint porcelain to passing the inspection. Is there no one left in Shengzhou? Do they have to hire someone from us?"
"What do you mean? Explain it clearly!"
Li Tie patiently explained, "It takes at most half a year to train a group of porcelain painters. After half a year, why should they pay you such a high monthly salary?
By then, your monthly salary might not even be as high as it is now. Besides, the boss said she would never hire anyone who left. How would you cope with that?"
The man waved his hands and shook his head, "Don't use me as an example, I'm not leaving!"
"At least you're not stupid, get to work!"
The conversation between Yu Qingguan and Li Tie about porcelain painting soon reached his ears. He was very satisfied with Li Tie's intelligence and felt that he could be trained as a key person.
At the same time, he hated Wang Zhuzi so much that he went to Wang Hai to tell him about it. Wang Hai was so angry that he slammed the table. The two of them decided to go to Kang Yueran to find a solution.
Kang Yueran returned home from the tea garden, and before she could even sit down, Wang Hai and Yu Qing arrived.
Both of them were furious. "Miss, the apprentice Wang Zhuzi sent by Master Yin of Shengzhou is really outrageous. He doesn't study porcelain making properly, but hangs around the kiln every day, using high wages as bait to poach our master craftsmen and kiln workers."
Wang Hai was extremely anxious. "Miss, I'm sure Master Yin planned this. He sent three apprentices here. Two of them studied very hard with the masters, but only that Wang Zhuzi was stirring up trouble everywhere."
Kang Yueran burst out laughing, "This Yin Hai is even using military tactics!"
Yu Qing was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks, "Don't laugh, Boss. Oh, you don't know, Wang Zhuzi came to me first and promised a monthly salary of 150 taels for the four of us, father and son.
My father was furious and told Wang Zhuzi all about the kiln workers' monthly wages, festival gifts, etc. His original intention was to tell Wang Zhuzi that the kiln workers were well treated and no one would be tempted, so he should not waste his efforts.
But Wang Zhuzi didn't take it seriously after hearing this and was even willing to increase our monthly wages. "Boss, there are really kiln workers at the kiln who are interested."
Kang Yueran wasn't afraid of the Yin family taking action, but was afraid that they wouldn't. "Don't worry, let him talk! If anyone wants to leave the kiln, just pay the monthly salary and leave.
As long as there are still people in the family who deduct monthly payments for the house, the house will be left to them. However, no one else in their family will use it in the future.”
Wang Hai was unconvinced. "They should have been kicked out. Why leave them a house to live in?"
"They've already settled in the village. Where can they live without a house? Just do as I say. Don't be afraid of losing out. Let Wang Zhuzi make a big fuss. If he does, I'll go to Shengzhou to settle the score with Yin Hai."
Wang Hai suddenly had an idea, "Oh... I understand, the girl has set her eyes on the Yin family's kiln."
"You see it all but don't tell me! How did I teach you that?"
Wang Hai's anger immediately subsided, and he replied with a smile: "I'll remember it next time!"
The Yu family father and son are both technically talented, and they are not as quick to react to the twists and turns of the business world as Wang Hai. "What do you mean?"
