After He Lin and Pi Xiaofeng completed their shopping, they returned home.
The house was already full of people.
There are both men and women here, and there are even some children as young as fourteen or fifteen years old.
He Lin thought that child labor was not allowed in his previous life.
But in this world, the current situation of the Chu Empire.
Labor force is extremely precious, who cares how old it is?
Children from some farming families start working even at the age of seven or eight.
It is a good thing that they can come to work here in He Lin.
Xi Zhihui pulled a young man over and introduced with a smile:
"Ms. sir, this is my younger brother, his name is Xi Qiang."
It turned out to be his brother-in-law. He Lin said hello with a smile: "Hello."
Xi Qiang did not expect He Lin to be so kind, so he said somewhat cautiously: "Hello, brother-in-law."
Xi Zhihui might be afraid that He Lin would misunderstand, so she helped Xi Qiang by saying a few words again:
"Xi Qiang has read some books, and I thought my husband would be busy in the future. I need some scholars to help, so I brought my brother over..."
"Oh?" He Lin was a little surprised. It was not uncommon for people who had read this idea to think so.
Basically, scholars will take exams to obtain academic honors. Going out to do business or farming is a loss of face.
He Lin asked: "Why don't you take the exam and try your luck for the future?"
Xi Qiang laughed dryly and said: "Brother-in-law, I just leaned on the wall of the school and listened to a few classes, and I knew a few simple words... I couldn't do the exams or anything like that."
He Lin didn't continue to ask. He could write very well.
"Since you can write, help me manage it. I will give you some management knowledge later."
After saying that, He Lin ignored Xi Qiang again.
Even if Xi Qiang is Xi Zhihui's younger brother, He Lin won't pay too much attention to him.
Whatever the future holds, Xi Qiang still needs to work hard on his own.
He Lin looked at the twenty or so people in the yard, clapped his hands and said:
"Hello everyone, since you are here, you are now a family."
"But I'll put the bad words in front of you. I came to you to do something, not to mess around."
"If you do things efficiently, you will definitely get paid. If you want to make a living here, I'm sorry, even if we are related, I will tell you to get out."
He Lin's speech was quite impressive, with a high and low tone, and his emotions were also quite passionate.
Everyone was frightened by He Lin's aura, and they all shrank back.
After all, they don't know what they need to do yet.
He Lin knew that he had already given enough power, so he needed to give some sweetness:
"I believe my wives have made it clear to you. You come to work here for one hundred cents a day, and you only have to work four hours. If you need to work overtime, you will be given overtime pay."
"So you don't need to worry about wages and benefits."
When He Lin said these words, everyone at the scene was excited.
They couldn't help but discuss in a low voice that for one hundred pennies a day, they only needed to work for four hours.
Although the word "overtime" is very unfamiliar, they can also roughly understand the related meaning.
Do I need to be paid more for overtime work? Is there such a good thing in this world?
He Lin looked at the excited expressions on everyone's faces and clapped his hands again:
"Okay, you guys go aside and get ready for work."
Xi Zhihui took over the conversation at this time and said loudly:
"In a moment, a dedicated person will explain the work content to you."
Xi Zhihui is indeed a child of the family, with a smart mind and strong academic ability.
But after being around He Lin for a few days, he was already able to speak some modern vocabulary.
Everyone was assigned to one side, and He Lin pulled Xi Zhihui to talk.
"Madam, we have found the person. Then introduce the work to them in detail."
Xi Zhihui nodded heavily: "Don't worry, sir, I will personally guide you. I will also ask the sisters to help more."
"I can rest assured that you are doing the job," He Linxian praised, and then continued, "But you have to pay attention to one thing, that is, the formula of the raw materials. It is best to keep it secret now, and don't let them know that we use loose coal and loess to make briquettes. .”
Xi Zhihui did not agree at this time, but said with a worried look:
"Mr. Sir, the situation now is no longer the same as before. There are so many people talking and it's hard to keep the formula of our briquettes safe."
He Lin had already thought through Xi Zhihui's worries.
But He Lin is not worried. After all, he has never thought of using briquettes to create a unique industry.
This is only a small part of his estate.
But Xi Zhihui didn't think so, her eyebrows were filled with worry.
The huge profits brought by briquettes have made Xi Zhihui pay attention to worries about gains and losses recently.
If the secret recipe for briquettes were not there, wouldn't their family have to go back to their previous life?
He Lin grabbed Xi Zhihui's boneless little hand and comforted:
"Madam, don't worry, I have thought of all this."
"You just have to recruit."
Xi Zhihui looked at He Lin's confident face and felt a little relieved.
That's right, my husband is like a god and he must have some countermeasures in advance.
"Then I'll deal with it."
He Lin nodded slightly.
Xi Zhihui led everyone to their secret workshop.
It was a remote area that Xi Zhihui rented for 400 yuan a month. There was a wasteland there, which was perfect for doing things secretly.
He Lin watched everyone leave and was thinking to himself.
He never dared to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.
The ancients just saw too little of the world, so we only need to open up a little bit of the technology tree for them.
They will also reproduce naturally to study more.
Briquettes have now been sold in Yongkang County.
Many businessmen have already obtained briquettes and have even begun to study the formula of briquettes.
He Lin estimated that within three to five days, a large amount of briquettes might appear on the market.
But he wasn't worried at all, he had plenty of backup options.
While He Lin was thinking, the people in the compound were pushed away with a bang.
Fei Yun walked in with three or five big men.
"He Lin, when will I pay back the three hundred coins your boy owes me?"
Fei Yun looked ferocious and sounded arrogant and domineering.
He was frightened by He Lin's momentum last time, and now he still has lingering fears.
He specially brought his bodyguards here just to look good to He Lin.
He Lin didn't say anything more, he just took out the money bag containing 500 coins and threw it in front of Fei Yun.
"Take the money and get out of here."
The last time Fei Yun molested the girls, He Lin felt even more disgusted with Fei Yun.
Fei Yun picked up the money bag, looked at the half-full copper coins inside, and said in surprise:
"How do you earn so much money? You can actually spend 500 yuan in one go?"
He Lin frowned slightly. Fei Yun didn't know that he was selling briquettes?
"It's none of your business, take the money and get out."
