Chapter 440 Another Year of Delivery

The next day, someone came from Liu Dong's side. It was Liu Wen, who brought a long convoy.

This was something Shi Liu had agreed upon with Liu Dongjia when she was still in the provincial capital.

It is almost September and the north gets colder earlier, so it is time to sell wool products this year.

At the beginning of last year, the supply of goods was really insufficient, and many people were unable to buy the goods they had placed reservations for.

This year is better. We have been rushing to produce goods for most of the year, so we have to have enough inventory in the warehouse.

At that moment, Shi Liu personally took Liu Wen to Xianggupo.

Li Chunfang and Tian Li came out upon hearing the news, one holding the warehouse inventory list and the other holding the account book for counting.

Boxes of goods were loaded and carried out of the sheep workshop and directly onto the truck. As early as the beginning of the year, the road from Xianggupo to Xiahe Village was widened and renovated, and a stone bridge was built over the Xishui River for vehicles and horses to pass.

This makes shipping much more convenient than last year. There is no need to move boxes to the village one by one and load them onto trucks, which takes time. Instead, boxes can be loaded directly outside the Sheep Workshop and taken away.

When a car is full, the people in the front will go ahead and move slowly to avoid congestion at the back.

One by one, the trucks were loaded and taken away, and it took a whole morning.

Of course, the warehouse is not empty yet, this is just the first shipment of the year. This shipment is gone, and the next one will arrive in two days.

The Liu family's fleet is now making the best use of their time to do this. For some meat floss and other goods that need to be delivered within Bingzhou, Mr. Liu has placed orders with the Weifeng Express in Luoshui City, asking the express fleet to deliver them everywhere. This is also a way of attracting business for himself.

Liu Wen and Tian Li checked the accounts, Li Chunfang signed, and Wei Feng and the accountant brought by Liu Wen started to calculate the accounts.

Of course, one person uses an abacus, and the other mainly does mental arithmetic.

The people on Liu Dong's side had long been aware of Wei Feng's amazing arithmetic ability and were no longer surprised.

It is said that Liu Dongjia had mentioned this to Shi Liu before, saying that Wei Feng was a good candidate for the Ministry of Revenue. Unfortunately, unlike the previous dynasty, the imperial examinations in this dynasty were not subdivided into categories, so those who were to take the Mathematical Examination only needed to take the Mathematical Examination and did not need to worry about other things.

No matter which ministry you want to join, you must first pass the imperial examination.

Shi Liu also asked Wei Feng about this later, and Wei Feng only said that although he had studied for a few years, he was not cut out for the imperial examination.

Shi Liu didn't say anything, thinking that since she had such a good talent working for her, she shouldn't treat him unfairly. The gifts she gave him during the New Year were more generous than those given to others.

It’s even better now, and I’m about to become her cousin’s husband.

The two of them calculated very quickly, and in the end, they calculated one after the other and found the numbers to be the same.

Liu Wen asked someone to bring in several large boxes.

There was another box, which was filled with silver bills.

"Miss Pomegranate, the total is 78,580 taels - these two boxes of silver ingots are 5,000 taels, and the remaining boxes are copper coins. This box contains the remaining silver. Please count it."

Shi Liu asked Wei Feng to count the silver bills, but there was no need to count the silver ingots and copper coins.

After figuring out everything, Liu bowed and was about to take his leave. Shi Liu then told Liu Wen about the Wang family and Tongxing Pharmacy, and asked Liu Wen to go back and tell Liu Dongjia, asking him to help find out something.

Liu Wen readily agreed.

After Liu Wen left, Shi Liu asked Wei Feng to put aside the cost of this batch of goods, calculate the remaining net profit and take out 20%, and then asked Liang Zheng to go to Dafengji to deliver it to his adoptive father Ding Fuguang. His adoptive father also got 20% of the shares of the Sheep Workshop. Shi Liu had brought Ding Fuguang in to make money with him.

By the way, he would bring back some silver ingots to exchange for broken silver and copper coins. Then Fu Dong would take the remaining silver bills back to Sui Lu to register them in the warehouse.

This sheep workshop is her private property, and the profits are not shared by the public.

Of course, the expenses of the Sheep Workshop are also separate.

At that moment, Shi Liu asked Wei Feng and others to help string the copper coins together, making them into strings of hundreds to make it easier to pay the workers.

After Liang Zheng came back with more broken silver and copper coins, he started stringing the coins. In the afternoon, he asked Li Chunfang and Tian Li to ask the workers to arrange the work at hand and collect their wages in batches.

At this point, everyone has received their wages and it is almost time to get off work, which is just right.

The payment of wages was like Chinese New Year. First, the workers in the milk slice workshop came one by one to collect their wages. They all had a fixed amount, nine cents of silver per month, no more, no less, nine strings of money per person, and they could collect it after pressing their fingerprints.

Next are the workers in the sheep weaving workshop. Except for the workers on the assembly line who have a fixed salary of nine cents of silver per month, the rest are paid by piece, so their wages will be paid more slowly.

Li Chunfang was holding a thick notebook, on which were recorded how many pieces each person had knitted in the past month and what they had knitted. It was recorded every day, and there were also the worker's own fingerprints.

At that moment, Wei Feng was looking at the book and making a list for each person he calculated. Those who came to collect their wages took their own lists and came to Shiliu to collect their wages. Those who were responsible for paying the wages were Tian Li and Fu Dong.

Some workers kept a record of what they had knitted every day, so they had an idea of ​​how much they had earned at the end of a month. Even though they couldn't calculate it completely, they knew that the Li family would not fool them, so when they heard the numbers on the list and received their wages, they paid without saying a word.

For example, Fan's sister-in-law, daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law who also joined the sheep workshop this year, because Fan was literate, they could do math at home and they had figured out the accounts clearly by themselves. When they heard that Wei Feng had calculated the same thing, they went to collect their wages happily.

After receiving her wages, Mrs. Fan smiled with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

She has been very active this month and has knitted five sweaters and several pairs of socks.

She could earn three hundred coins for knitting a set of woolen sweaters. With this salary, she earned more than one and a half taels of silver this month!
Looking at the daughter-in-law, there is not much less.

It's not just Fan. There are many skilled daughters-in-law and women in the workshop, and many of them earn as much as she does.

Like Yang Tao, when she took the list handed over by Wei Feng and heard him say it was more than one tael and two cents of silver, she was so happy that she couldn't help blushing.

Her marriage to Wei Feng has already been decided, so she would blush when they meet.

She didn't dare to look at Wei Feng any longer, and quickly took the list and went to collect her wages.

When Shi Liu saw her coming over and looked at the list in her hand, she immediately smiled: "Sister Yang Tao is doing great this month!"

Seeing Shi Liu smiling at her, Yang Tao also grinned. She also thought that she was amazing, being able to earn so much money in a month. However, compared to Shi Liu, she was not that amazing. She admired Shi Liu very much in her heart!
After receiving her wages, she ran all the way home after work. Jiang and Wan had already finished work and were playing with the children. Mother Yang and the others had their hands free, so they went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Yang Tao gave half of his newly earned wages to his sister-in-law Jiang, and kept the remaining half for himself.

It's like this in all families, like the Jiang and Wan families, they have to set aside half of their monthly wages for expenses.

The remaining half, as her eldest brother had already told her, would be her dowry.

It has been more than a year since she joined the Sheep Workshop last year, and she has saved a lot of money.

Shi Liu said that after she got married she could continue to work in the sheep workshop, just like her elder sister. Although it was farther away, her brother-in-law would pick her up and drop her off every morning and evening.

When the time comes and she gets married and lives on her own, she will surely live a prosperous life.

When she has children, she will definitely raise them well, support their education, and give them a good life. She will be down-to-earth and not have any evil intentions.
