Chapter 126 126: Is there such a good thing falling from the sky? (two more)

Chang Xi talked eloquently for nearly two quarters of an hour. Of course, what she didn't mention was that although the people in these five small villages belong to the same place, it is very easy to divide them. The villages are too close together. There must be friction between the villages, so she wants them to supervise each other, so that the craftsmanship of the tea bricks can be kept secret for a longer period of time.

After the tea brick technology is upgraded, there is no need to be so strict.

It's just that her small thoughts, the four shopkeepers like human spirits, can think that this tea brick is really like Chang's said, it is not easy to try it successfully, they have secretly tried it in private, but the result is a waste After drinking a lot of good tea, my heart twitched in pain.

Presumably other tea merchants have tried it, but it is still a little far away from making it.

Shopkeeper Guo saw that the three shopkeepers were listening to Chang Xi's suggestions calmly, and only now did he see some truth. Chang's move completely divided them. It won't last long, but now I can rest assured.

Chang's is smarter than he imagined.

The discussion here is over, and Li Zheng and the village chiefs of the five small villages that were sent to invite over there have also arrived.

These five small villages are managed by two Lizhengs and five village chiefs. They all know each other. When they arrive, they frown secretly when they see each other. They will inevitably feel uneasy about unknown things.

This other courtyard, everyone around here knows that it belongs to Xie's courtyard.

On weekdays, the villagers dare not approach Xie's other courtyard, for fear of offending this big family, and they will be overwhelmed. Now the people from this other courtyard have invited them here. Seeing this battle, could it be that some villagers provoked them? Are you waiting for a behemoth like this?
They looked at each other for a moment, unavoidably worried, secretly thinking about which naughty boy in the village caused the disaster, how they could excuse themselves later, and so on.

Along with Chang Xi, apart from the four shopkeepers, there were also the stewards of other courtyards. After the stewards found out Chang Xi's identity last night, let alone despise him, he came over early in the morning to fawn on her.

This is exactly what Chang Xi wanted. The steward of this other courtyard is a local snake here, and he should know a thing or two about the people in the nearby villages. For this reason, she might give the steward of this other courtyard some sweets.

"Golden steward."

As soon as they saw the manager of the other courtyard appear, the two Lizhengs and the five village chiefs immediately got up to greet them.

Manager Jin always liked to put on airs in front of these people and enjoyed their flattery, but now that Chang Xi was there, he immediately put away his usual routine and became humble.

"This is Mrs. Chang, you must not do anything wrong in front of her." He immediately stepped aside to introduce Chang Xi, and waited on him like a dog.

What else do those people not understand now?

This woman is more powerful than Guanshi Jin. Although she is not clear about her status in Xie's family, it's not something they can afford to offend, so she politely greeted Chang Xi.

Chang Xi didn't take Joe, first asked them all to sit down, and then introduced the four shopkeepers, and waited for them to meet each other before expressing their thoughts.

As soon as these words came out, the two majors and the five village chiefs widened their eyes in disbelief, and such a good thing fell from the sky?Could it be that they haven't woken up yet?

Some people pinched each other secretly, and they both felt the pain. After staring at each other, they believed their ears.

Li Zheng, the oldest among them, immediately asked, "Madam Chang, what are the requirements for recruiting people to build a house?"

"Fang Lizheng is being polite," Chang Xi said with a smile. He is very considerate to the other party, and there is no need to put on airs when we have to deal with him in the future. "Actually, my request is very simple. All you need are young adults over the age of 18 and under the age of 30."

In this society where 40 years old is old, her request is not too much.

When everyone heard the words, they were overjoyed with this request, but the busy farming season was approaching, so how would they calculate it then?

Chang Xi has also considered this. After all, it is a small-scale peasant economy. If you ask them to put down their farm work to earn money to build a house, I am afraid that not many people will do it. Food is the ration of a family, and this is more important than anything else.

"You can take turns to give half a day to go back to harvest. If it is rainy, you can suspend the project and rush to harvest the grain first. I can guarantee this." After a pause, Chang Xi continued, "Once selected into the construction team, except Food and housing are not included, and the monthly salary is between 800 Wen and one tael, depending on how hard they work, and if someone performs particularly well, they will be promoted moderately and an additional bonus of 500 Wen will be added.”

Once these benefits came out, it not only cleared away the worries of the two Lizheng and the five village chiefs, but also made them very excited. In this way, the young and middle-aged people in the village don't have to rush to the city to find work, and they can work at home. Earn money, not to mention that the living conditions in the city are not as generous?
In contrast, among the four major shopkeepers, except for shopkeeper Guo, they all felt that Chang Xi gave these mud-legged people too much money, and everyone in the city would be willing to make such a condition, and they might have to fight for it.

Shopkeeper Ma coughed lightly, and when he saw Chang Xi looking over, he shook his head secretly, expressing that the money was too much.

Chang Xi thinks it's not too much, after all, it's physical work, and the construction period is required, and she doesn't limit their daily working hours. Under the lure of high salaries, they will work hard, and she still makes money .

But she knew that her way of thinking was incomprehensible to these old antiques. This was a generation gap of the times and couldn't be communicated, so she smiled and said, "The four shopkeepers have not forgotten that when they signed the contract, they have already determined that I am leading?"

It means that she wants to talk about it, and they can't have any objections.

"Ms. Chang..." Shopkeeper Zhu was the first to come forward. Just as he called out, shopkeeper Liu pulled his sleeves. He looked at shopkeeper Liu displeasedly. He didn't forget that this person had argued with him before. What about engineering?

Shopkeeper Liu secretly cried out that he was wronged, he did it for his own good, Lao Ma is the most treacherous person, so what's wrong with letting him be the first bird?

Shopkeeper Zhu is able to be a big shopkeeper, so he naturally knows how to read his words. Seeing Lao Liu's attitude, what else can't be understood?
So when Chang Xi asked politely but intimidatingly, he hurriedly waved his hands, "I have no objection, just... just want to hear what Lao Ma has to say?"

Shopkeeper Ma was so angry that his beard was raised, what does this old Zhu mean?Is this to use him as a gun? "What can I have an opinion on? I will execute the contract as I signed it back then, Mrs. Chang, just arrange it."

When shopkeeper Zhu saw it, he wanted to fight with shopkeeper Ma, but shopkeeper Liu was not a peacemaker this time, so he shrank to one side and didn't say a word.

In the end, shopkeeper Guo came forward to mediate, so there was no joke.

However, this also made Shopkeeper Guo take a deep look at Chang Xi. It would be difficult for them to unite if she gnawed maggots between them like her.

For shopkeeper Guo's secret slander, Chang Xi would not care even if she knew about it. If she wants to establish her absolute authority, she must not soften her heart.

Seeing that those four shopkeepers were no better than Chang Xi, the two Lizheng and the five village chiefs hurriedly responded to the matter, and went back to hold a village meeting to recruit people after a while.

Of course, they are not all thinking about the villagers, but thinking about how much benefit they can get from it. After all, the right to recruit workers is in their hands, and whoever they say counts.

Chang Xi had long guessed that the two village chiefs were having an affair with the five village chiefs, and when they agreed to the matter, he said, "The monthly wages will be settled by me and sent directly to them. Li, do you have any comments?"

Hearing that, the two Li Zheng and the five village chiefs originally wanted to say that the wages would be lower so that they could get a fortune out of it. Now that they are doing this, they have no chance to intervene at all.

It was Fang Lizheng who spoke on his behalf again, "Miss Chang, this is not good, after all, we organize the villagers to work, and the money will be paid to us directly at that time, and it is okay for us to repay them. You can save money." It's over..."

"Fang Lizheng's words are wrong," Chang Xi said with a smile, "I'm afraid you don't know something. After our workshop is built, a large number of young and middle-aged people will be screened out to show good character and integrity." People stay and work directly in the workshop. By the way, this time we will also recruit a few aunts to cook, and the salary is also between 800 Wen and a tael of silver. Go back and see how many qualified people sign up, and then invite They come to other courtyards, and I personally interview them."

This is even for women. Both Lizheng and the five village chiefs are happy and worried. After all, Chang Xi's personal interview will prevent them from making small moves. But these people know in their hearts that if they refuse, Then this opportunity will be cheaper for city dwellers.

So, quickly respond one by one.

Naturally, someone reported to Xie Jin what happened here, and Yuan Hao, who hadn't left, naturally listened to it, and immediately raised his eyebrows. This Chang's is really unexpected. It was a plan to personally choose a few women who are in charge of the spoon. How about some eyeliner?

Xie Jin was not surprised that Chang Xi would make such an arrangement, which was in line with her temperament. Of course, it wasn't that she didn't give Lizheng and the five village chiefs money, but she didn't let them fish too hard.

It is said that she is cruel, but she leaves space everywhere, and she is selfish, but she shows kindness everywhere, this Chang makes it more and more difficult for him to identify what kind of person she is.

Chang Xi didn't care at all about how others thought about her. After sending those people away, she held a meeting with the four shopkeepers again, and put forward her own opinions on the personnel structure of the future workshop, especially the financial aspect. It is even more important.

"You can send three people from each tea house to be representatives, and I will arrange corresponding posts according to my discretion. You can see the composition of the post personnel..." She said as she signaled Xiaotao to send what she had written to a few. Take a look at the big shopkeeper.

When the four shopkeepers received the paper, they immediately lowered their heads to look at it, but compared to the personnel structure, they valued the arrangement of the cashier more. It was related to money, and no one dared to be careless.

When they saw that it was written to use a new accounting method, all four of them frowned in unison. What does this mean?
