After Huang Liang and Hu Shun brought back the forty dozen gold and silver papers from the Wang family, they quickly recruited a large number of female workers and planned to turn all the gold and silver papers into paper ingots in a short period of time.
I want to take advantage of the shop in the town to find out the true situation of the paper ingot and make a lot of money from him before I change my mind!
Huang Liang wanted to rush the work, so he had to extend the working hours of the female workers every day and increase the speed of the female workers' origami. The best option was to make all the paper ingots, except for one Wang Cui'er. In the Chu family's workshop.
As a last resort, Huang Liang could only offer a salary that was much higher than that of the Chu family, hoping to pry away a few more successful female workers from the Chu family's workshop.
Not to mention, there were really three people who couldn't resist the temptation of money. They mentioned resigning to Shen Luzhu, and then turned around and went to the Hu family in Wufang Village!
After Wang Cuier and being poached by the Hu family, Shen Luzhu began to have different ideas about the management of the workshop.
As soon as Chu Yi entered the house with foot-washing water, he saw his wife there again, writing and drawing on a few pieces of paper. It had been like this in the past few days, and it didn't look like a new style of paper money. He was a little curious: " What is A-Zhu painting?"
Shen Luzhu was lying on the kang in their room, thinking hard on the paper in front of him. When he heard Chu Yi's question, he turned the paper in front of him.
Facing Chu Yi, he pointed at the rules and regulations on it and explained to him: "I want to make a ledger and put it in the paper ingot workshop for later use. This will not only make it easier for us to understand the actual processing situation of the workshop in the future, but also I can prevent things like Wang Cuier from happening again, but I haven’t thought about some things yet. Please help me take a look!"
Chu Yi put his hands on both sides of the kang, lowered his head and took a closer look at the "ledger" made by his wife. It was divided into two major areas. It could be seen that one side was for registering the information of the cutting group, and the other side was for registration. Origami set of information.
Shen Luzhu listed in detail all the information points that need to be filled in, such as the number of sheets received by each group, the number of pieces cut into small pieces of paper or made into paper ingots, how much was left on the day, how much was lost, and finally The date and signature of the person handling it are also marked below.
Chu Yi looked at it and felt that this "ledger" was indeed good. All the information points were clear at a glance. It was indeed as Shen Luzhu said. It was easy to know how many goods were shipped today and whether there was any discrepancy in the quantity of paper. .
"I think it's pretty good, but..."
"Just what?"
Chu Yi looked at his wife who was leaning on the kang with her elbows and supporting her chin with her hands. She looked cute no matter how she looked at her. He smiled and pinched her nose lightly: "A Zhu, those female workers are probably illiterate."
Shen Luzhu was stunned: "Ah! That's right!"
How could I have forgotten that this was in ancient times? Although Daqian respected reading and literacy, it was only for men and some women with well-to-do and open-minded families. The female workers in their workshops were obviously not within this scope.
Shen Luzhu lowered his head and looked at the ledger he had designed for several days, lying on the kang like a deflated rubber ball: "Then it was all in vain. I originally wanted to do this well, but the four newly recruited The female workers are probably already familiar with it, so we can sort out the future process together."
Putting away the papers and pens on the kang, Chu Yi pulled up his wife who was still lying on the kang, looking a little sad, and helped her take off her socks, then rolled up her trousers, and tried again and found that the water temperature was just right. He patted his wife's ankles and motioned for her to soak her feet, then he stood up and sat next to his wife.
The coquettish star Shen Luzhu usually relies on Chu Yi when he doesn't have the chance to create opportunities. What's more, how can he miss the opportunity now available?
Shen Luzhu collapsed in Chu Yi's arms, humming and stirring the water in the basin with his feet.
Seeing his wife depressed like this, Chu Yi hugged her and coaxed her: "It's not your fault that the female workers are illiterate. Let's just find someone who is literate."
"Looking for someone who can read?" Shen Luzhu raised his head and looked at Chu Yi, what do you mean? Will we have to ask people to be literate when recruiting workers in the future? It’s just paper money. It’s not that big of a deal.
As soon as Chu Yi saw his wife's expression, he knew that she was probably wrong. He smiled and explained: "Look for
A literate person can write this account and supervise and check it. "
"Chu Yi, you mean we hire a steward, like Lin Ji's paper-making workshop?"
"It's not like Lin Ke's manager Li is responsible for running the entire workshop. He only needs to keep accounts and check the daily figures."
Shen Luzhu sat up from Chu Yi's arms excitedly: "Yes, this can also prevent someone from watching and stealing. Can we also set the members of each group to death, and then select a group leader to be responsible for supervision and management? , and then the steward will hand over and reconcile the accounts with the leaders of each group."
Shen Luzhu thought about the management model of those companies in his previous life. This hierarchical management seems to be more suitable for them now. Someone is responsible for supervision and management, and to a certain extent, quarrels and theft incidents like before can be avoided.
"Then let's spread the news tomorrow. It doesn't matter whether you're male or female, as long as you can read and do math."
"Listen to our A-Zhu."
He said that he wanted to find a steward who could read and do arithmetic, but before the couple could spread the news, they were talking to Chu Ping and asked him to help find some idle men in the village and let them spread the word, and someone came forward and recommended himself.
It was Uncle Chu who had nothing to do and was sitting in the shop chatting with the juniors!
"There's no need to go out and look for someone. Outsiders don't know what's going on, and they have to worry about whether they'll deceive us. I'll just go and take care of it for you."
Uncle Chu had long wanted to do something to help his nephew and his wife, but his legs and feet were inconvenient, so he could only tell his daughter Xiu Xiu to help more. Now that he had a chance, how could he let his nephew go find someone outside.
Chu Ping was trying to remember a few important points said by his cousin. When he heard what Uncle Chu said, he was a little confused for a moment: "But uncle..."
"I can read and do arithmetic, so who am I?"
"That's not true."
Chu Yi didn't want to overwork his third uncle. Just when he wanted to dissuade him, he was blocked by his third uncle: "What, the manager of this workshop must be able to run and jump?"
Seeing that both Chu Yi and Chu Ping were criticized by his third uncle, Shen Luzhu thought about it carefully and felt that it might be a good thing if his third uncle helped manage the workshop, so he agreed with a smile: "I think it's quite good. Okay, now that Third Uncle is in charge, I can’t be more reassured, but we just have to trouble Third Uncle to take care of us!”
"As a family, no matter whether it's troublesome or not, I'll be idle as long as I'm around."
Seeing that his wife agreed, Chu Yi knew that Shen Luzhu must have her reasons, so although he still had concerns, he didn't object anymore.
After Third Uncle Chu left the shop with satisfaction, Shen Luzhu told Chu Yi what he thought: "Uncle Third probably felt a little bored sitting idle all day, so he always wanted to help with something. If we always be careful I'm afraid that I will tire my third uncle, and I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient for him.
I'm afraid that for Third Uncle, all this is too much attention and care. Instead, it's like always reminding him of his differences. It's better to go along with Third Uncle's thoughts and let him do something he is willing to do and within his ability. I think being happy is more important, right? "
After a long time, Chu Yi nodded and had to admit that his wife was more delicate in her thoughts and what she said was correct. If they treated his third uncle too carefully, his third uncle might feel uncomfortable instead.
After it was decided that Uncle Chu would help manage the workshop, Shen Luzhu and Uncle Chu selected three team leaders from among the ten female workers as planned. Afterwards, they signed an agreement with all the female workers, stipulating the terms and conditions of both parties. Responsibilities and obligations, the most important thing is that everything in the workshop cannot be disclosed to the outside world. Violators will be held accountable and demand compensation.
October 15th came soon, and the peak season of paper money trading during the Winter Clothes Festival also passed. While the Hu family in Wufang Village was still seizing all the time to make paper ingots, the Chu family welcomed Chu Li’s tenth birthday.
On Chu Yi's birthday, the milk pudding cake made by Shen Luzhu was a great success and was highly praised by Chu Yi. Now it is Chu Li's birthday. With the experience last time, Shen Luzhu made a bigger cake this time. Come out, Chu Li is still a child after all, and he likes sweet things more than Chu Yi, so Shen Luzhu put more sugar in the cake this time to flavor it.
My sister-in-law told him a few days ago
On his birthday, he would make something delicious called "birthday cake" for him. As soon as school ended at noon, Chu Li hurried home. When he saw the big cake on the table, he was extremely happy. !
Chu Li not only ate the cake he had imagined for days at noon, but also received a gift specially made for him by his brother. Chu Li sat between his brother and sister-in-law, not to mention how happy he was. He looked at his brother for a while, and then looked at him for a while. Sister-in-law, I feel that I am simply the happiest child!
The family was having lunch when they suddenly heard something moving outside the courtyard. Before they could go out to check, the door of the main room was forcefully pushed open from outside.
Everyone in the Chu family hall looked out the door and saw Chu Fang's hair was messy, her pale face was covered with tears, and she was sobbing constantly.
"Cousin, sister-in-law! Please save me, you must save our whole family!"
Chu Fang had entered the house crying, pulling Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi and kept shouting for them to help. Not to mention Chu Yi and his wife, even Chu Aye and Chu Ainai were stunned by her crying. .
"Chu Fang, please stop crying! Tell me clearly, what's wrong with you?" Although Mr. Chu has never been close to his granddaughter, he is his own descendant. How can he ignore it when this happens? ..
"Yes, Fang'er, you should speak nicely. Who can understand what you mean when you act like this?" Grandma Chu pulled Chu Fang, who was in front of the young couple, and asked her to sit on a chair and speak carefully.
Chu Fang sat on the chair and cried uncontrollably: "Grandma, grandma, something happened, something big happened! Ma Wu maimed Liu Sheng from the neighboring village, and the Liu family brought a group of people to carry him away. Liu Sheng came over, surrounded the house, and said that since Liu Sheng was cured without giving him any money, he was going to capture my Ma Wu to pay for it with his life!"
