Braving the light snow in early winter, Yang's carriage finally entered the house.
In the past two days in Jiangnan, the willow wind was not cold, but when I returned to Zunhua, the wind was biting. Yang Fan opened the car door and got out of the car with Chen Xi, although both of them temporarily wore thick cotton old-fashioned military coats. Still, it feels cold.
"Master, you are back," Xiao Niangpi ran over happily and took Yang Fan's hand.
From getting married to now, Yang Fan rarely leaves his wives. This time, he left for a week, which felt so long.
"Well, luckily everything went well on the way. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to come back today." Yang Fan said, holding her hand.
"As the saying goes, women don't worship the stove, and men don't worship the moon. Although our family is big, you are the only man. If you are not at home, we can't worship the stove prince." Xiao Niangpi said. "If a woman sacrifices herself to the stove, she will be blamed by the gods."
Yang Fan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Who said there isn't one? There's still one in your belly, right?"
At this time, the child has not yet formed, who knows whether it is a boy or a girl. However, Yang Fan's words were pleasing to the eye, and they spoke to the little girl's heart. I was immediately happy. This sentence made her happy more than any amount of flattery.
"Hmph, how do you know? It's not like you can pinch or calculate." The little girl rolled her eyes at him coquettishly. Although she said so, she was still happy in her heart.
"Chen Xi took good care of you along the way. That girl was so busy studying all day long that she couldn't even cook. She still needs someone to take care of herself, so I regretted letting her go. "
Xiao Niangpi glanced at Chen Xi behind, and whispered.
At this time, Chen Xi's brows had faded and his long hair had been changed into a woman's bun. Her face was radiant and her face was flushed. She looks like a newly married young daughter-in-law.
"They took good care of me. As you know, I live a simple life and don't have many requirements." Yang Fan said.
Yang Fan is used to being independent and not used to being served by others. He does everything by himself.
"I've met the master," Lin Yueru and Mei Xiang also came to pay homage to Yang Fan.
"Get up quickly, the ground is cold." Yang Fan quickly pulled them up.
Zhang Geda, Lv Dan and Mo Zuo came up.
Zhang Geda said: "Sir, the stove sacrifice is ready. Do you want to know when it will start?"
"Now that everything is ready, let's get started. If we finish the business early, everyone can have dinner." Yang Fan understood everyone's psychology very well. They were all waiting for the master at this time. They were probably hungry already.
Xiao Niangpi said: "Master, please take a seat and accept the greetings of the stewards at home first. After giving out the red envelopes, we will begin to worship the stove."
The maids and servants immediately brought an Arhat bed and set up a folding pavilion on it. This is a product delivered from modern times. Used to block light snow.
Please sit down, Yang Fan and his wife. The chief steward Zhao Fu sang loudly: "All the stewards come in and pay homage to the master."
As soon as Zhao Fu finished speaking, thousands of Yang Mansion's stewards, large and small, lined up in five ranks according to different systems and entered the main hall courtyard one by one.
Those who are qualified to come to this courtyard today are all managers of all sizes in the Yang Mansion system.
These people are in charge of Yang Mansion's own territory. Without their hard work, Tu Shanyue would not be able to manage the territory in a clear order.
"I wish you and your wife prosperous descendants and princes for generations to come. Worship! Worship again, three times, get up!" Following Zhao Fu's command. Thousands of people bowed down neatly and kowtowed three times.
"Hahaha, everyone, please get up, no courtesy." Yang Fan said with a smile. "Everyone has worked hard this year."
"Don't worry, little ones. The master and his wife are running the house well." Everyone replied in unison.
"My wife and I are aware of your contribution. The grand occasion that our family is today is inseparable from your efforts. Two years ago, our family was just a family of more than 300 people working in Xinghe Iron Works. At that time, everyone Food was out. At that time, I was still worried about how to ensure food supply for so many people. Who would have thought that now, there are more than 300,000 households. The fields we have developed have finally balanced the food expenditure this year. No need to rely on outside
Food. "
There was a sighing sound below, all of which were voices of tears.
These managers were all promoted last year. They were all talented people who came from the Xinghe Iron Works and were recruited from previous batches of refugees. They still have vivid memories of their miserable lives in the past. Thinking of the huge gap between the past and the present, each one of them suddenly felt like a world away.
In this era, having enough to eat is the greatest happiness.
Not only did their family save themselves from starvation, but they also became stewards of the Yang Mansion, earning high salaries and enjoying various benefits such as free medical care and schooling for their children. And Yang Mansion is also booming.
Natural disasters are not terrible, droughts are not terrible, but unreasonable systems and harsh social environments are terrible.
The climate in the north has not changed, and has even worsened this year.
But it benefits from the strong organizational capabilities of Yang Fan’s system and the management organization that goes deep into the village level. Efficient administrative execution has truly implemented all measures.
Reservoirs and ditches were built, water was released to wash the saline-alkali land, and seawater rice seeds were planted. Use guano fertilizer. Later, steam engines were used to dig wells in dry lands to pump water.
Even in order to deal with insect pests, Yang Fan early introduced pyrethrum plants as raw materials for pesticides. Now, if we are not strong in chemistry, we should develop plant pesticides.
Phytopesticides refer to pesticides made from plants or their active ingredients that are toxic to other plant diseases and insect pests. The active ingredients contained in pyrethrum, rotenia, and tobacco are pyrethrin, rotenone, and nicotine.
This type of pesticide is not only safe for humans and animals, but also does not pollute the environment. Therefore, this type of pesticide is one of the focuses of modern development. Of course, Ming Dynasty can also develop vigorously.
A large amount of flue-cured tobacco is grown on Yang Fan's territory. After the tobacco leaves are processed, the remaining tobacco stems can be used to make pesticides. Use it completely and waste nothing.
The pesticide factory is currently only for self-use, and it is not ruled out that it will be put on the market in the future.
"Fu Zhao, please pay this year's year-end bonus." Yang Fan turned around and said.
"Here," Zhao Fu turned around and said, "Hand out the red envelope."
The maids were carrying plates with stacks of red envelopes, each with a name written on it.
The stewards all wear badges on their chests with their titles and names written on them. It was Yang Fan's requirement that the stewards wear uniform uniforms and wear chest tags. This way, it's clear who does what.
Stewards range from level one to level five. Compensation and responsibilities vary.
The first level is the top level, and there are not many people.
Great housekeepers like Zhao Fu and Aunt Mei. Sisters Xiang Yi and Xiang Ying are in charge of financial approval and cashiering. Huang Daya and others are responsible for the security of the inner house.
For all managers, the year-end bonus is a New Year gift package sealed in a red envelope.
