"Besides, will you still pay my sister-in-law wages to them during these ten days?"
She heard what she meant, and it seemed that her sister-in-law was not prepared to not pay her wages.
Moreover, if we tell the workers that they will not be paid to attend the training, I am afraid that many people will not be willing to go.
"If you teach children, they won't learn much in ten days."
"But most of these students are in their teens or 20s. They learn quickly. Even if it only takes ten days, they should be able to learn a lot."
"Especially arithmetic. Because it is practical, even ordinary farmers will teach some basic counting and simple arithmetic at home. It will be much easier for my husband to teach it."
"As for literacy, it only depends on their talent and diligence. How much they learn is what they learn."
"But I think if literacy is included in their assessment and linked to their wages and subsequent promotions, they should study hard."
"After this study is over, it does not mean that the training is over. When they return to their respective positions, they still need to take time to review on their own."
"After that, on the last two days of every ten days, they have to go to Mengxue for training until their husband allows them to graduate."
"The graduation standard is tentatively decided to be able to recite and write down a thousand-character essay. If you can master a thousand characters, you will be considered qualified."
"As for their wages, since we arranged for them to go to training, the wages must be paid to them naturally."
"Not only the wages, but also their food and accommodation in the elementary school are paid for by us."
"Of course, we don't pay this money in vain. Everyone who participates in the training must sign a long-term contract with us, and the minimum contract period is ten years."
Cheng Lei finally spoke.
"A long-term contract is worse than a death contract. It's a pity that we still have fewer people on hand."
Su Yuyan glanced at Cheng Lei and Shen Shuangshuang.
I really want to say that there are many servants in my family who have signed death contracts.
But after enduring it, I still didn’t say anything.
Shen Shuangshuang sighed.
"It's hard to buy good servants. Fortunately, my uncle has a dental shop and has a good relationship with other dental shops. Just ask him to pay more attention to us."
"Buying people is too expensive, and useful servants are not always available. We are short of manpower right now, so we can only do this for now."
"In the future - in the future, when I accumulate enough foundation, things will be easier to handle..."
Cheng Lei nodded.
"Just do as Sister said." He said.
Wang Cheng and Chen Ya looked at each other.
"Well, sister, I think your literacy class is pretty good. Can you--"
"Ahem - can you let me send three people in as well?" Wang Cheng asked Shen Shuangshuang.
Shen Shuangshuang looked at Wang Cheng.
"I will bear the expenses!" Wang Cheng said immediately.
Shen Shuangshuang looked puzzled.
"There are only three people under my command. They are quite smart and do things well. But they are not very useful since they are illiterate."
"If sister's literacy class can really teach them how to write and do math, it will be easy for my brother to use people in the future!" Even though he is running a gambling shop, he needs to hire people who can write and do math.
Chen Ya suddenly interrupted before Shen Shuangshuang could speak.
"I - I also want to send two people there! Sister, give me two places! I'll give you money too!"
Wang Cheng looked at his wife.
Frowning, he asked about the situation with his eyes.
"Only your gambling house needs people, but my restaurant and my family don't need people!"
She pretended that the restaurant hired her mother's cousin as the store manager, but her cousin was not very good at arithmetic and needed to learn more.
And at home, she also wants to train a capable person to help her settle accounts and be a housekeeper, so that she can have more leisure time.
She can write and do calculations herself, but she doesn't have the patience to set aside time to teach others.
If she could send people to study and make them learn without spending much time, she would naturally be willing to spend some money and save trouble.
Shen Shuang's eyes moved slightly.
"Okay. Literacy class for ten days, three taels of silver per person. If you want to take subsequent courses after that, it will be three hundred coins a day." He said.
"Is this - so expensive?" Chen Ya was a little reluctant.
Wang Cheng's eyes were a little unsteady.
"Not only will food and accommodation be included, but the Mongolian School will also provide pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and textbooks. The people you send will eat and live with the people we arrange to go, go to school together, and take exams together."
"When the time comes, if your people can be among the top three, they can also win bonuses."
It is a good thing to have the couple together. It just lets the people who go know that it costs a lot to participate in the training, and makes them cherish the opportunity to learn more.
After hearing this, the couple immediately did not hesitate.
"Sure! Just do as Sister said!"
Cheng Lei glanced at Wang Cheng and his wife and raised his glass.
Wang Cheng and his wife understood and raised their glasses.
Shen Shuangshuang waited for the three of them to drink the wine and sour plum soup before looking at Cheng Lei.
"My Mengxu School is a big place and there are many people in Dahe Village. I thought about it and thought I could open a grocery store in the Mengxu School."
"Xiao Lei, can you help me introduce the supply of goods?" The grocery store with the best business in Shangyang Town belongs to her brother, so it is absolutely reliable to find her brother.
Cheng Lei was startled.
After thinking for a while, he nodded.
"Although Dahe Village is not far from Shangyang Town, if you can walk reliably, it takes more than two quarters of an hour, and you have to pay the city fee to enter the city."
"It's not necessarily cost-effective to make a special trip to the city just to buy some small things. It's not impossible to open a grocery store in the village."
"It's just the type of goods you sell, you have to think about it."
Shen Shuangshuang nodded.
"We need pens, ink, paper and inkstones, as well as needles, thread, spices and daily necessities. We don't need food. Every household in the village has it, so everyone can buy and sell it privately."
Cheng Lei looked at Shen Shuangshuang.
"Let's do this. Sister, go to Cheng Ji Grocery Store and ask Shopkeeper Liu to give you a list of items in the store."
“Then cut it down based on the list and select the items you want to sell.”
"After that, just ask Shopkeeper Liu and ask him to inform you about the source of the goods."
"Well...you have a small quantity of goods over there, so you can purchase them together with Cheng Ji. However, you have to pay for the goods in advance."
Shen Shuangshuang's eyes lit up.
"That's no problem!" He said quickly.
Buying goods together with Cheng Ji is what she wants! In this way, it will be much easier for her to open a grocery store!
After talking about the grocery store, several people chatted about the hot pot restaurant.
Now, not only the hotpot branch in Shangyang Town is about to open, Su Yuyan and Anshi are also preparing to join the hotpot restaurant in the county.
Cheng Lei will be busy in Shangyang Town for another two days before he has to rush to the county town to help the franchise store there open.
"Hey, I've been running between the county town and Yang town these days, and everyone is getting tired and thin."
"Sister, when our branch opens smoothly, you have to allow me a few days off!" Cheng Lei said bitterly to Shen Shuangshuang.
Judging from the current situation, he should be able to collect the money for the bride price, and Yuyan will be his wife sooner or later.
He wanted to take some time to spend time with his future wife, and cultivate more relationships with her.
Shen Shuangshuang glanced at Su Yuyan.
