When Tang Shiyue does things now, he gets a lot of responses and there is strength in numbers. In just a few days, Yuefang was built.
At this time, after the yarn has been rolled and dyed, there is actually only about 300 kilograms of wool available for weaving. However, it is still in continuous production and is enough for weaving for a while.
During this period, Tang Shiyue also drafted a set of management rules, discussed them with Qiao Sangyu, and finalized them.
It had been discussed at that time that a total of seven villages would participate. The people of Jubao Village could send 40 people, and the other six villages would only send 20 people at a time. These 20 people had to spin a certain amount of wool before they could start learning the craft.
Of course, the requirements are very high. The thread must be even and of the same thickness. If it is not done well, the worker must be replaced. As for the craft, if you can't learn it in three days or can't do it well, you will also be sent back to the village and replaced by someone else.
But there are also preferential treatments for those who do well.
Those who pass the assessment can take the wool home to weave, and can also teach people in the same village. If they teach one and then take the wool home and pass the exam, they can get a commission of one or two taels.
The weather was getting colder, and it was better to learn nearby than to run over here. There must be people who wanted to learn. So although the first group of people had to spin wool, they still had a great advantage.
After that, you can operate the business for a long time using piece-rate wages.
After delivering these requirements to each village and reaching a consensus, Tang Shiyue chose an auspicious day to open the business.
...
...
After the firecrackers were set off, people from all the villages came over. There were so many people that it was difficult to recognize them all at once. Tang Shiyue followed Han Yi's example and gave each village a handkerchief of a different color, which was tied on the lapels for easy identification. At the same time, she also gave each village a name tag, which was hung around the waist for easy entry and exit.
This time all the girls and wives could come, but not every family had a chance, as there was already a fierce competition for seats. When deciding on the number of people, no one wanted to offend Tang Shiyue, so no one from the Tang family's old house came.
This time, since all the people who came were young girls and wives, Tang Shiyue did not ask Tang Shirong and others for help. The old patriarch's second daughter-in-law, Qian, had good handwriting, so she was in charge of the registration, and Qiao Sangyu also helped.
The people from Jubao Village were the first to enter and quickly registered.
Tang Xiu was at the back of the line. After everyone had passed by, she quickly glanced at Tang Shiyue with mixed feelings.
She had reached the age of marriage and should have discussed marriage, but although she had given up on Qi Xiaolang, she really looked down on those ruthless and domineering country men and tried every means to delay. As soon as she heard about Yuefang, she begged her mother and father to come here to learn the craft.
Later, A Niang agreed.
Although she had never offended Tang Shiyue, she had liked Qi Xiaolang.
It was originally a hidden secret of the girl's heart, but at that time it was made known to everyone by Chen Laizitou, and she was also publicly reprimanded by Qi Jing. If she had not always been known for her dexterity and her grandfather was an elder of the clan, this title would not have been hers.
She was worried for several days, wondering how she would beg Tang Shiyue if he didn't allow her to study. Unexpectedly, Tang Shiyue didn't care about her at all.
That's right, she is a blessed lady. Many people say that she is the Lady of the Nine Heavens who came down to earth to bless the world... She knows everything and can do everything, like a fairy. How could she make things difficult for a little village girl like her?
She thought of her this way, which actually made her look down on her.
Tang Shiyue noticed this gaze and looked over here.
Then she saw a young lady looking at her. When she saw her looking at her, she smiled timidly and embarrassedly.
Tang Shiyue smiled back, then turned back and continued talking to Qiao Sangyu.
Tang Xiu is a very well-behaved pretty girl, with a chubby round face, crescent eyes, a small diamond-shaped mouth, and dimples. She quite likes girls with this look.
Of course she knew her, one of Qi Xiaolang's secret admirers, but she didn't hate her.
Which girl doesn't have spring in her heart? After being rebuked by Qi Jing, she did not feel resentful or pester him endlessly, which was much better than Tang Guihua.
As he was speaking, Qiao Sangyu suddenly froze.
Tang Shiyue looked forward and saw a young lady, probably from Dayue Village, about sixteen or seventeen years old, staring at Qiao Sangyu in amazement.
Tang Shiyue asked: "What's wrong?"
Qiao Sangyu was trembling slightly and opened his mouth, but no words came out.
At this time, the young lady also lined up in front of her. When it came to registering her information, she was obviously a little flustered, but she still answered in a low voice: "Zhang Xiaoman."
Last name Zhang?
Tang Shiyue knew who she was.
She glanced at Qiao Sangyu, whose face turned pale and eyes were full of resentment, but she remained silent.
Tang Shiyue felt a little helpless.
In fact, she just wants to be a beautiful fairy and doesn't want to be a life mentor, but girls of this era need a little, or even a lot of push.
Tang Shiyue said, "I told you that you can take full charge of the weaving and spinning here when I'm not around."
Then she walked a few steps away and disappeared.
Qiao Sangyu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
She was grateful for Tang Shiyue's kindness, so she would rather endure her hatred temporarily, but what if Tang Shiyue didn't need it?
Qian had already recorded Zhang Xiaoman's information and handed her a handkerchief: "Go in and tie this around your arm."
"Wait!" Qiao Sangyu said, "She can't come in."
Qian had not noticed her expression before, and was stunned when she heard this.
Zhang Xiaoman was anxious. Her family had spent a lot of money for this quota! She couldn't be allowed to mess it up!
She didn't understand the situation and didn't dare to argue with her, so she quickly said with a sad face: "Sister-in-law, you can't do this! We are all from Dayue Village, and we can't mess around like this!"
"Who is your sister-in-law!" Qiao Sangyu gritted her teeth and said, "I have nothing to do with you Zhang family, you beasts!"
People in front and behind were all from Dayue Village, so how could they not know about the grievances in their family? But at the gate of Yuefang, no one wanted to get involved and just watched quietly.
Zhang Xiaoman covered her face and started crying, but her words were threatening: "Sister-in-law, I was chosen by the village! This is not just the Zhang family's business! Are you never going back to the village for the rest of your life? Aren't you afraid of being criticized by the villagers? Aren't you afraid that Han'er will lose her father..."
If the word "琀" hadn't been mentioned, Qiao Sangyu might not have hated it so much. But once the word "琀" was mentioned, her eyes were filled with hatred. She grabbed the pen from Qian's hand and directly erased Zhang Xiaoman's name: "I am the manager hired by Mr. Tang. I have the final say on Yuefang's affairs! I won't allow you to enter, I won't allow you to enter!"
"You! How dare you!" Zhang Xiaoman was used to bullying her, so how could she be willing to be beaten up in front of her like this.
She was a thoughtful person. Seeing Tang Shiyue not far away, she cried out in panic, "Sister-in-law, you did that kind of thing back then, gave birth to a bastard, and gave all the family's money to that man. My elder brother divorced you out of necessity. What's the point of you taking revenge on me like this? My elder brother can't raise a child for someone else..."
Those who were unaware of the situation could not help but look at each other in surprise.
Zhang Xiaoman was secretly delighted. As long as her reputation was ruined, who would want to hire such a slut as a manager? This was Yuefang!
As expected, Tang Shiyue walked over slowly, and Zhang Xiaoman cried more sincerely.
Tang Shiyue looked her up and down and said with a smile, "Zhang Xiaoman, right?"
Zhang Xiaoman bowed quickly, as if she had just seen her, and said with a wronged look on her face: "Master Tang, please judge for yourself."
Tang Shiyue ignored what she said and said coldly: "Go back now. Dayue Village can still replace someone else. If you keep arguing, then Dayue Village won't have to fill this quota. Let's just leave it like this!"
You know, on the first day, the tribe leader and the officials from Dayue Village had followed them. When they heard this, their faces changed, and they rushed forward, grabbing Zhang Xiaoman without saying a word, and regardless of her explanation and struggle, they dragged her away without hesitation, while constantly apologizing to Tang Shiyue.
It was not until these people left that Tang Shiyue said, "I have a few words to say about what she just said."
Everyone thought she was going to explain something on Qiao Sangyu's behalf, but she said slowly, "I will invest a lot of energy in Yuefang. I hope it will be a relaxing and joyful place. If there are people who don't like me or my people, you can leave now."
