Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 270 Performance Appraisal
After Xu Qing finished speaking, Lu Zhao froze on the spot again.That's right, I've made it clear to you, I, Xu Qing, love fame so much, and cherish fame so much, you touched my back, shouldn't you resign?

Lu Zhao wanted to say something more, Xu Qing waved his hand, Niu Checao and others threw him out.

All the factories and shops in Hongshan Town stopped working at the same time, but Yang Wen called everyone above the foreman to a meeting.

In a tall room, people were crowded, all looking at the second floor, as if there was going to be a jade girl coming out of the bath there.

Naturally, there were no jade girls, only their rumored big boss——Xu Qing.Most of the workers that Hongshan Town recruited when it really developed had never met Xu Qing, but they only heard from the first batch of people that Xu Qing was a kind-hearted young man.But there are too many young people here, who would have seen them after a meal today...

On the first floor, all the foremen were burning chestnuts in a brazier and eating them, whistling.On the second floor, there are four stewards, all of whom are young.Xu Qing and Yang Wen are still discussing in the room, but they haven't appeared yet.

After listening to Yang Wen's brief report, Xu Qing also knew that it was really difficult for him to provoke Hongshan Town by himself, and after thinking about it for a while, he knew the reason for his fatigue.That is, the production process of fried rice candy is too cumbersome. For example, a group of ten people first boils the candy, then frys the rice, and then packs it. In this way, every step of the way needs to be supervised.So Xu Qing suggested that it is better to let those who are good at cooking sugar only cook sugar, and those who can fry rice specialize in fried rice, so as to connect the strengths of individuals and become the strengths of the organization.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wen felt that there was a great advantage in this matter, so he discussed it with Xu Qingduo for a while.The third sugar factory should be divided into three factories: boiled sugar, fried rice, and sugar packaging. In the final inspection, only one factory needs to be inspected and packaged. There is no need for everyone in the group to inspect, which saves two-thirds of the work.

The four stewards on the second floor suddenly stood up at the same time, facing the other place, and the people downstairs naturally knew that it was Xu Qing who had come.They all patted the ashes off their bodies and stood up.

Xu Qing and Yang Wen walked forward slowly and stood by the fence on the second floor. All the foremen saluted and said, "Cao Min waits to see the county uncle..."

Xu Qing cleared his throat, and said straight to the point: "There is no need to be too polite. Today is mainly to meet with you. By the way, I have something to do with you."

Goodbye, all the foremen.

After saying some polite words, Xu Qing changed the subject, and said slowly: "Everyone knows about Manager Lu being resigned today, right?"

All the foremen nodded, but they didn't know why Xu Qing brought up this matter.

Xu Qing continued: "I ask everyone, what is Hongshan Town? What is a sugar factory?"

All the foremen shook their heads, thinking, isn't a sugar factory just a sugar factory?Is it still a young girl?
Xu Qing paused, and said generously: "It's home! Hongshan Town is my home, and everyone's home. The sugar factory is my industry, and it's also where everyone makes a living. Your children, wives, old parents , all rely on the sugar factory to eat!"

"It can be said that the sugar factory and the big guys both prosper and lose. If people say that our sugar products are good, then the sugar will sell more, and everyone's wages can be paid smoothly. If people say that our sugar is not good, then If you can’t sell it, everyone will lose their jobs and go to the fields to dig up dirt. Let me ask you, are you willing?”

All the foremen thought about it, nodded, and replied excitedly: "Of course not!"

Seeing this, Xu Qing immediately asked: "What if someone slanders our sugar factory? What if someone digs up our sugar factory? What if someone splashes ink on our sugar factory outside?"

The foremen asked weakly but angrily, "Who is that?"

Xu Qing said angrily: "This kind of person is right beside you and me. The former is like Lu Zhao, and there are many others in the latter. Those who raise prices secretly and take kickbacks privately are all such people." Xu Qing glanced at everyone Said: "This kind of person is just to ruin the reputation of our sugar factory in Hongshan Town and shorten our financial resources! Therefore, everyone! I resigned Lu Zhao, and, in the future, I will find someone who is harmful to everyone's interests. , I will never show mercy!"

The four stewards on the stage lowered their heads, but there was a lot of discussion in the audience:
"Yeah, so it turns out that what Guan Shi did was so harmful?"

"That's right, this kid almost stopped our money."

"Damn it, I know Guanshi Lu. He knows people and faces but doesn't know his heart. I didn't expect him to be such an ignorant person."

Suddenly, Xu Qing turned his anger into a smile, and said gently: "Of course, if the factory makes money, of course it won't treat everyone badly. From today, if the factory makes ten taels of silver, it will take out half a tael and share it equally with everyone!"

The four stewards suddenly raised their heads, thinking about Xu Qing's words, the more they thought about it, the more difficult it became.Others don't know, but they know the income of the five factories in Hongshan Town.In a month, the account of the running water is a few thousand taels, and a random cent is more than a hundred taels of silver.

It's just that all the foremen in the audience were confused. They didn't know what Xu Qing meant, they only heard that they wanted half a tael of silver.Half a tael of silver, hundreds of workers, where is a penny for each person?This is not enough to celebrate the new year with dolls!
Yang Wen explained on the stage: "You guys, let me tell you, the county uncle is talking about the dividends for your factory from now on, [-] in [-]. Calculated, everyone can get [-] cash more every month. !"

"What? Give us a dividend?"

"Two hundred cash more per month? Wouldn't that be nearly two taels of silver a year?"

"Two taels of silver, my son's marriage can be brought forward..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, plus the pigs raised at home, and some land planted, hey, my family wants ah, Landlord Liu's family is still fat!"

"Little old man is 63 this year. I decided to live to 110. I want to work in a sugar factory for another 50 years!"

There was a burst of booing, and all the foremen were moved. They all stood up together, then knelt down and bowed to Xu Qing: "Writing about Uncle's grace..."

"It's just that this money can't be given in vain. You know the so-called one liter of rice to raise a benefactor, and a bucket of rice to raise an enemy, right?" Xu Qing said slowly: "For this money, everyone will be assessed every month. In the future, everyone's duties will be rearranged. The monthly bonus will only be issued after the assessment is passed. If the assessment fails, the original dues will be deducted instead. Think clearly, everyone..."

The people sitting here swallowed their saliva, and if they pass the assessment, they will be rewarded, but they will be fined, that is, if they do not do well in the future, or if they are just messing around now, they will not be as good as they are now.Whether it is good or bad, everyone has a steelyard in their hearts: "Uncle, little old man, one more word, dare to ask who is responsible for this assessment, and how much is the fine?"

Xu Qing nodded and said: "Good question, but for the details, let Steward Yang talk about things?" Xu Qing turned to the four stewards and said, "You guys, just follow me?"

That afternoon, Yang Wen briefly explained the division of labor to all the foremen, each of them was responsible for the things he was good at, and then went to select workers.A foreman forms a team, and several foremen form a brigade. Then the qualification assessment is carried out according to the small team, and the competition assessment is carried out by the brigade.Above the brigade, there is the general team.

Qualification evaluation determines whether to issue bonuses, and how much the evaluation affects the amount of bonuses.All the evaluations were directly linked to the well-known Kaiyuan Tongbao, so Xu Qing didn't bother to choose any gifts, let alone hand out a bucket of oil to perfunctory.As for the evaluation, it is determined by the quality of the product and what Yang Wen has seen and heard.

Talking dryly with the foremen, the foremen were half-knowledgeable, Yang Wen slapped his legs and asked everyone to call the workers back.Immediately, separate the pot for frying rice and the pot for boiling sugar.Then I asked the arranged captains of each category to sort out the personnel, and tried it on the spot.

In the beginning, everyone was asked to stand in line and go through the process individually.After the procedure was correct, everyone tried to make candy again.

As for Xu Qing, he made it clear to the remaining four stewards about the key points of the relationship.The four of them are in charge of external sales. It can be said that it is the means of these four people to communicate with merchants and establish long-term external relationships.Moreover, when Xu Ji stood on the high ground of trade, the four of them had too much power, and they could even collect kickbacks from merchants.

But what if Xu Ji's trade status declines in the future?What else can they do when they are asking others to buy something?Although a new process will be implemented in the future, Yang Wen can free up his hands and find a way to replace them, but Xu Qing still feels that the clothes are not as good as the new ones, and the people are not as good as the old ones.

Showing kindness and majesty at the same time, the four stewards laughed for a while, feared for a while, and finally, trembling like a sieve, knelt down and told all the money they had received in the past.Xu Qing was naturally "forgiving", and took most of the money with a smile, and the private money confiscated by Luo Xiuxiu's betrayal was about to be returned.

Walking on the East-West-South-North Street again, Xu Qing felt that the wind was kinder and the snow softer.

At this time, Yang Wen ran over, smiling and said to Xu Qing: "Uncle, master, today we tried the process you mentioned, it's great!"

"How to say?"

Yang Wen smiled and said: "Just now, we finished the two daily candy deliveries in an hour. It's just that the candy box is still far behind, and the candy cakes that come out can't be filled!"

Xu Qing also smiled and said: "Using good steel on the blade will naturally chop wood faster. However, I suggest that those sugar boxes can be made by other people in Hongshan Town. Buy them regularly, save more That’s right, when it’s not enough, let’s try to make it ourselves.”

This is a commonly used method in the rural areas of later generations. For example, making mats is made by those housewives one by one, and the mat factory is nothing more than retracting and releasing.

Yang Wen opened his eyes wide again, pondered for a while, and nodded heavily, but then he asked in doubt, "Uncle, what is steel?"

Xu Qing was taken aback for a moment, remembering that metal smelting in the Tang Dynasty hadn't developed to the point of steelmaking, and it was only for smelting wrought iron.Occasionally, I came across good iron ore, worked hard to forge it, and could produce iron comparable to steel, but it has not yet been mass-produced.

"Oh hehe, it's nothing, don't worry about the details..." Xu Qing asked with a smile: "Yang Wen, do you have time? I want to visit the mansion. In a few days, a large group of people will move in. Do you have a room?"

Xu Qing originally wanted to go back directly, but he was afraid of encountering the embarrassing situation where the servant did not recognize the master again.

Yang Wen didn't agree immediately, but did some calculations in his mind: "Uncle, this... I have to check the situation in the factory tomorrow, and I can go back the day after tomorrow. However, Uncle, the servants in the family are still the same as before, and they recognize each other. you wow...
