During this period, Wu Tiezhu was not the only one who felt that there was hope for the future. In the surrounding cities centered around Tai'an Prefecture, many people's minds became active.
Those with the capital can simply assemble a fleet of vehicles to transport goods for others.
In various places, there are shops that are on the verge of bankruptcy that are being converted to sell glass.
When people move, they also cause the food, drinks, clothes, and accessories to move.
The couple, Chen Chuang and his wife, whom Xie Yushu had pulled back from the brink of death and who had successfully given birth to twins via cesarean section, had come to visit Xie Yushu. They even bought several truckloads of glass from her shop to sell, and mentioned that they had added five more boats since the spring of this year.
He frankly stated that business was much better this year than in previous years.
While the changes in the distant areas might not be immediately apparent, the changes near Tai'an Prefecture are quite obvious.
Since the villa was completed, Xie Yushu held a banquet for Yu Muyang, settled his wages, and saw him off. As soon as the job posting was put up, a long line of job seekers formed outside the villa.
The plan is to have five security personnel in each factory. The glass factory is currently doing very well, with more than 100 employees already. After opening, they plan to increase the number to 500.
The distillery initially plans to hire 100 people.
The pharmaceutical factory has one hundred employees.
The toiletries factory had ten female workers and two male workers who carried heavy objects.
The canteen has fifteen people: four cooks, eight food runners, two cleaners, and one purchasing agent.
There are twelve people at the guesthouse: one in charge, four on duty in pairs, and the rest are cleaning staff.
In addition, fifty more people were hired to be responsible for transporting raw materials, such as purchasing high-quality glutinous rice, cutting grapes when the grapes in the village ripened in the autumn, and collecting flowers, etc.
After Nanxing's mother, Madam Feng, and Mancang returned, they paid a special visit to Xie Yushu. Xie Yushu noticed that the mother and son had clear eyes, and although their clothes were a bit old, they were clean and tidy. Their faces were tanned by the sun, but their fingernails were clean, showing that they were diligent.
Moreover, judging from Nanxing's character, her family members are probably not much different. So, Feng was asked to work as a manager in the canteen. Before the canteen officially opened, she could learn from Aunt Su and Qu Xiaodie how to be a manager and what the daily tasks of a manager are.
Besides her, Qu Xiaodie recruited several experienced managers to oversee the large, demanding factories, including the winery and pharmaceutical plant.
The manager of a large factory earns ten taels of silver a month, while the managers of small factories and canteens, with fewer staff and lighter workloads, earn three taels of silver a month.
Although Madam Feng was excited to hear that she could earn three taels of silver a month, she was still hesitant to agree. She had never managed people or affairs before and was afraid of messing things up.
Xie Yushu pointed at Aunt Su and said
“This is a former stewardess from the palace. You can learn from her first. Once all the stewards have been recruited, Aunt Su and Steward Qu will give you a systematic training. You’ll get the hang of it after some practice.”
Seeing that Xie Yushu was genuinely helping their family, Madam Feng expressed her gratitude.
"I will definitely study hard and take good care of the canteen for the princess."
Mancang is only fourteen years old. Although he does farm work at home just like the adults, he is still a half-grown child. His bones have not yet grown up, and he is a bit awkward. However, he can speak fluently.
Xie Yushu thought it wasn't good for a teenager to do heavy work, so she sent him to work as a supervisor at the pharmaceutical factory, mainly responsible for inspecting the workers' work conditions and whether there were any disturbances.
It serves as a supervisory body; anyone who is disobedient can be reported directly to Qu Xiaodie, and those with serious offenses will be dismissed.
They give one tael of silver a month.
The mother and son received more wages than expected. Thinking that Xie Yushu not only saved Wu Tiezhu, but also trusted them so much and gave them a chance to change themselves, they realized how lucky they were to have met such a benefactor. They immediately vowed to treat Xie Yushu as if they had signed a contract of servitude.
After five or six days of selection, Aunt Su and Aunt Sun had finished selecting workers from all departments and entered the formal training phase.
Qu Xiaodie consulted someone to choose an auspicious date, and the opening day was set for August 12th.
There are exactly twelve days left.
Qu Xiaodie and Xie Yushu discussed it and decided to conduct the training for ten days, and then let everyone rest for a day so that they would be in high spirits for the opening ceremony.
The workers arrived a day early to report for duty.
So, in the days that followed, Qu Xiaodie and Aunt Su were in training, while Nan Xingchunyu and a few others were responsible for bringing back all the custom-made tables, chairs, quilts, sheets, blankets, tableware, and other miscellaneous items and putting them in their proper places.
Wang Wu led his men to clean the entire area thoroughly, while Hongmei led her men to purchase the goods needed for the store.
Xie Yushu opened the canteen and shop near the villa not with the intention of making a lot of money, but simply to provide convenience for her workers, merchants and patients who came to seek medical treatment or purchase goods.
Therefore, you need to have the things you might need in your daily life.
Dongmei was quite willing to take on this task. Every time she went out, she was beaming with joy. She would leave in the morning and not return until evening. She did this every day for several days.
Qu Xiaodie has already sent a letter to the capital, asking Qiu Shuang and the others to investigate the background of Chen Da, Chen Er, and Chen San.
If there are no problems, she is also happy for Hongmei, as it is a great blessing to meet someone you truly love.
Like her, not knowing what love tastes like is a kind of tragedy, isn't it?
Holding onto the shackles in one's heart, afraid to love or try new things, life always lacks a certain vibrancy.
Hongmei, taking advantage of this opportunity to recruit a large number of people, did recommend the three Chen brothers to Qu Xiaodie.
They said they were efficient, quick-witted, and even knew some martial arts, so they wanted to recommend them for the guard team outside the manor.
