Since her daughter-in-law entered the family, Jiang Yue has no need to worry about anything at home.
After finishing breakfast, she took the pasted booklet and planned to go to the village chief to discuss something.
Coincidentally, the village chief had probably drunk too much yesterday and was lying in his house, not yet out for a stroll, so he was caught red-handed.
Urged by his wife, the village chief dressed neatly and came out of the house, leaning on his cane.
As he approached, he began to mutter:
"As I get older, after just a few drinks, my body becomes too weak to get up."
"Uncle, you should listen to your aunt and drink less. Otherwise, if you get sick, your aunt will have to suffer."
After hearing this, Jiang Yue offered some kind words of advice for a while before getting down to business.
"Uncle, can you do me a favor?"
"You don't come to the temple without a reason. As soon as you arrive, I know you have something to ask me."
The village chief took a sip of herbal tea, and his mind instantly cleared up.
Because of his trust in the Chiang family, he did not choose to turn a blind eye immediately.
"Xiao Mang, take a look at this."
Jiang Yue handed the pharmaceutical factory's rules and regulations to the village chief, speaking in a fawning tone:
"In our village, besides Master Lu, you are the most learned person~"
Such high praise and flattery made the village chief feel flattered.
Rules and regulations?
He flipped through a few pages and found that they were in Master Lu's handwriting, and the content was quite novel.
What do you want me to do for you?
Looking at it this way, he couldn't understand what the other party wanted to do.
"Uncle, you see, the workers in our pharmaceutical factory are all from the village, and most of them can't even read or write. It's too much to ask them to understand these rules and regulations..."
Jiang Yue, without batting an eye, revealed her purpose.
She wanted to invite Uncle Village Chief to visit the factory on the last working day of the month, the day he received his wages, to explain the rules and regulations to the workers and reinforce their understanding.
Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. After listening to Jiang's purpose, the village chief pondered for a moment and then agreed.
In any case, the contents of this booklet did not harm the workers; on the contrary, they restrained their behavior and gradually cultivated their loyalty to the pharmaceutical company.
Similarly, while responsibilities are assigned, benefits and punishments also come with them.
Those who do well will be commended and rewarded handsomely.
If you don't do well, then you'll be punished, fined.
Those who perform exceptionally well will be promoted and receive a raise.
If they're doing a really bad job, then fire them!
Fair, just, and transparent, it is convincing.
"Is this something you came up with all by yourself?"
The more the village chief thought about it, the more he realized how formidable and unfathomable the Jiang family was.
"I came up with this in my spare time, so please excuse my poor attempt at it."
Jiang Yue readily admitted that it wasn't anything shameful, and she had nothing to hide.
After the matter was agreed upon, the booklet was kept by the village chief for safekeeping, and it will be disseminated at the end of this month.
With the pharmaceutical company matter settled, the next step is to expand the distribution network!
She took some time to talk to Manager Zhao at Huichuntang. Sure enough, the other party couldn't take all of Wujia Village's production; they could only take one-third!
For the remaining two-thirds, she needs to find a new path.
"Madam Jiang, please calm down. I have a friend from the Ge family of Jinling, a family renowned for its medical expertise, and a candidate for the Imperial Medical Academy..."
Manager Zhao picked up his teacup with a smile and calmly offered a solution.
After listening patiently, Jiang Yue made up her mind.
We immediately offered a cup of tea to Manager Zhao instead of wine:
"I would be grateful if you could introduce me to someone."
"Alright, alright. This jade pendant is a token of our Zhao family. Take this jade pendant and go to Jinling Prefecture to find the current head of the Ge family, Ge Zhenglin."
Manager Zhao slowly took out a mutton-fat jade ring from his pocket and handed it over very solemnly.
Thank you.
Jiang Yue respectfully accepted it with both hands and solemnly said:
"Regardless of the outcome, thank you for your recommendation!"
"There's no need for such formalities. To be honest, over the years, those medicinal herb merchants have monopolized the market, leaving us at their mercy. The quality of the herbs determines the efficacy of the medicine and the severity of the patient's condition..."
Manager Zhao's words were full of praise for Madam Jiang. He had been working with her for a year and was very satisfied with her character.
This introduction to my old friend is also in the hope of forging a good relationship.
With a new goal in mind, Jiang Yue began preparing for a long trip.
After returning to the village, she first went to the village chief's house and told him that the pharmaceutical factory was producing too many medicinal herbs and Huichuntang could no longer handle them.
She took the token from Manager Zhao and prepared to go to Jinling Prefecture to find the head of the Ge family and discuss a new supply cooperation.
Upon hearing this, the village chief realized that it concerned the livelihoods of everyone in Wujia Village and could not be taken lightly.
After pondering for a while, he first sent Jiang back to make preparations. Then he called on the clan elders to discuss arranging for a few people in the village to escort her to Jinling. Of course, the clan would bear the expenses along the way!
Jiang Yue didn't refuse outright, thinking that the village chief was only concerned for her safety.
On her way home, she was still thinking that Qingshan couldn't go with her. Her daughter-in-law was pregnant, and she didn't know how long she would be gone. It wasn't good to separate the young couple.
You could ask Qingsong, but she's unlikely to take Yaoyao with her; she'd feel safe leaving her in the village.
Aunt Ge should stay at home and take care of her daughter-in-law and daughter's daily life.
Oh, and she also needs to tell her in-laws to come over and take care of their daughter-in-law more often when she's not home.
She thought about going to the old house to explain the situation to her in-laws and ask them to take better care of the house.
Without delay, Jiang Yue went from house to house, making sure everything was in order, before finally returning home covered in sweat.
"Clatter, clatter~"
The great white goose still looked majestic, leading a few smaller white geese and ducks as they surveyed their territory.
Upon seeing the lady of the house, it obediently lowered its head and made way.
"Waaaaah~"
The little white cat was so hot that it was sticking out its tongue. It lay listlessly under the shady flower stand to cool off. When it saw that it was the lady of the house, it wagged its tail and lazily did not get up.
After returning to the house, Aunt Ge quickly brought out some refreshing and cool mung bean shaved ice.
Jiang Yue thanked him and then drank it all in one gulp, not caring about the potential harm to her health; all she wanted at that moment was some coolness.
This was the first time Aunt Ge had seen her employer so impatient. She immediately grabbed a palm-leaf fan and, while fanning herself, thoughtfully offered her help:
"Master, I'm going to fetch water. You should go back to your room and change your clothes. Put the clothes you took off in the basin, and I'll wash them later."
"No rush, I have something to say. Go to the backyard and invite the eldest young mistress over."
Jiang Yue shook her head. She had already told the old family home and her in-laws about her upcoming business trip. Now, only her own family remained.
Her sons wouldn't be back until later, so she decided to talk to her daughter-in-law and Aunt Ge first.
"Yes, this servant will go and invite them right away."
Aunt Ge respectfully withdrew, then quickened her pace and disappeared from the main hall like the wind.
