Chapter 125 We can’t have this thing

Li Xiaoyue lowered her head, looked at the land deed in her hand again, blinked, "The most famous spice shop in the county, Qianweifang."

One tael of spices and one tael of gold. In the minds of many people, eating spices is like eating gold, expensive and rare.

When he heard "Qianweifang", not only Li Changlu's eyes almost popped out, but others were also shocked and came over to take a look.

Old Man Li has something to do today and is not in Lihua Village.

As soon as he came back, he heard about Li Xiaoyue's big business today. He hurried over without taking a drink of water.

Old Man Li took the land deed and said, "Xiaoyue, if Gongsun Lian doesn't want the money from the sale of spinning wheels and looms, you can keep it all. But you can't take it from this spice shop."

Li Xiaoyue nodded, that's not making money every day.

Qianweifang earns gold every day and puts it in sacks.

This shop should be considered the most profitable in the Gongsun family. How could Li Xiaoyue accept it?
Besides, there is no reward for no merit. Although the spinning wheels and looms were sold for a lot of money in other places, they were still using the caravans of the Gongsun family and the Huo family.

That was donated by Li Xiaoyue on her own initiative to buy grain and medicinal materials to support Gongsun Lian and Major General Huo in protecting Zhenxiguan.

After all, Zhenxi Pass is gone. No matter how much money she has, it won't be enough for the Qi people to grab it.

"Well, I won't accept it." Li Xiaoyue nodded, "It's just that Mr. Gongsun ran away just as I was about to return it."

Old Man Li was full of suspicion and packed up the land deed. "Leave this thing here with me. I will go to Gongsun Lian tomorrow to explain it clearly and return it to him."

"Yeah!" Li Xiaoyue was convinced. She was from a womanly family and couldn't go to the military camp there, but her father could. "Dad, today not only Lihua Village, but also our family, everyone who built the house knows about our family." I’ve made money. If I don’t say it today, it doesn’t seem appropriate.”

"If you express it, how much should you give? I didn't pay attention. Dad, please give me some advice."

Old Man Li touched his beard, which was like a steel needle, thought for a moment, and then replied: "It should be divided. Those who work in the briquette workshop and the wool workshop get three taels of silver each."

"For people from other villages who build our workshops and houses, give each person one tael of silver."

Li Xiaoyue thought for a while, "Dad, building a house is not a trivial matter. The wedding money we gave is different, so some people in other villages may be unhappy. As the saying goes, you don't worry about widowhood, but about inequality. Since it is wedding money, as long as it is given to our family The workers are all paid the same, two taels of silver each.”

"But those who work in our workshop will have their wages doubled starting today. Maybe when our workshop is built, we can attract more people to work in our workshop."

It is impossible to grow big with just the few people in Lihua Village.

Old Man Li thought for a while and felt that his daughter's view was reasonable. "That's okay. People will make money with us, so they won't be jealous."

"Yes." Li Xiaoyue said with a smile. The number of people who come to Lihua Village to work every day is not only a thousand, but also several hundred.

One person has two taels of silver, which is more than 1000 taels of silver.

Although it is not much compared to 10,000+ taels of silver, for ordinary people, this is money that they have never seen in their lives.

When work was over, Old Man Li announced in public that anyone who worked in the Li family would be given two taels of silver as a happy gift.

Everyone is boiling!

They work for one tael for one month, and two taels is equivalent to two months' wages.

They were envious before, but it was just envy. No one dared to have any evil intentions. In fact, most of the Li family practiced martial arts, and each one was better than the last.

Apart from anything else, Old Man Li, who stood on a high platform and spoke, was not easy to mess with at first glance.

"Uncle Li, your family is going to be prosperous, congratulations." Of course you have to say happy words when you get the money.

"That's right. It's great that the Li family hasn't forgotten about us now that it's become prosperous."

"I really hope that the Li family will always be prosperous, so that we can always have money."

……

Everyone was talking a lot and were overjoyed.It was Li Xiaoyue's turn to speak next, "Everyone who works in our Li family's workshop will have their wages doubled starting from this month."

As soon as these words came out, it caused an even greater sensation.

Originally, I could earn one tael of silver a month, but now it has become 24 taels of silver a month. After calculation, it is [-] taels of silver a year.

If both the couple were working in the workshop, it would be 48 taels a year.

In the past, even if you worked for ten years, you might not be able to save so much money, but now you can save it in one year.

"Xiaoyue, my second daughter is [-] this year, can she spin?" an aunt from Lihua Village said hurriedly, one more person means more wages.

Li Xiaoyue nodded, "Okay. But you must do good personal hygiene and avoid lice."

"That's for sure. My daughter-in-law is clean and has no lice." An aunt said excitedly, "My son is getting married soon. When my daughter-in-law comes in, can she also enter the workshop?"

Li Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Yes, as long as you are clean and diligent, you can come in."

These are all people from Lihua Village. They are very happy to know that they will continue to recruit people after the workshop expands.

The jealousy deep in my heart towards Li Xiaoyue's family for making so much money disappeared, it was all envy and gratitude.

After all, not everyone can come up with such complicated spinning wheels and looms.

Li Xiaoyue has a powerful relative in the county town, whom they can only meet but cannot ask for.Therefore, after everyone thinks about it, they can feel relieved and accept the result happily.

People in other villages looked anxious.

They also want a salary of two taels of silver a month!
"Ms. Li, my wife is also very handy, can she come to work in your workshop?" A man with a relatively outgoing personality asked with a smile, his eyes showing hope.

Li Xiaoyue smiled and said, "I expect to recruit [-] to [-] women here to spin and weave. In addition, after the house is built, I will also recruit young adults to be responsible for cleaning hair. When the time comes, you can come and sign up."

"First of all, there is no disease, and you have quick hands and feet and work hard. In addition, you must be hygienic and don't have lice on your body. This is the most basic thing. When the time comes, I will put up a notice. If you want to come to work, you can come and I will send someone to you. People are interviewed one by one. If you pass, you can work here."

"Okay!" Everyone was very excited when they heard this.

There are not so many people in Lihua Village, so people from other villages have a chance.

Li Xiaoyue's words mobilized everyone's enthusiasm.When I work in the afternoon, my motivation is particularly high.

Li Changfu went directly to the bank to exchange a lot of [-] taels of silver for a small ingot.

This kind of ingot is specially melted from the bank. It is shiny, not big, but very attractive.

However, two taels of silver and two taels of one-money silver notes are needed to exchange for such a beautiful new ingot.

The picture is auspicious and festive.

Li Xiaoyue took out the salary book, each person had two taels of small ingots.

"Thank you, boss!" Everyone received the money, thanked Li Xiaoyue, and put their fingerprints on their names.

There were many people and they were divided into three groups.

Li Xiaoyue gave wedding money to the people who built the houses, Li Changhuan gave money to the briquette workshop, and Li Ersao gave money to the female workers in the woolen workshop.

After everyone received the little ingot, they all smiled happily and went home happily to share today's joy with their families.

When all the workers went home, everything returned to calm.

Wu Cuihong and her younger sister Zhou Xiaohua have already prepared meals and are celebrating today's great event with her grandfather and uncles.

Of course, you should not be stingy when giving two taels of silver to others as a wedding gift to your own family.
