The purpose of working is to make money and support your family. As long as you can make money and support your family, what hardships can you not endure?
Zhao Erwa and the others are not here to enjoy themselves, so no matter how crude the kiln in front of them is, it doesn't matter.
As long as I can give you money, what can I do even if I have to work in the wilderness?
They were on the front line before, braving the hail of bullets, breaking through minefields, and squatting in swamps. What kind of hardships have they not endured?
"Your work has been arranged a long time ago. Comrade Zhao Erwa is the deputy director of the factory, supervising the accounts and other work in the factory."
"Comrade Zhao Chuanjia is in charge of shipping, and he is in charge of selling lime. This requires collecting money and keeping good accounts!"
"Liu Zhuanfu, Comrade Xiao Liu is in charge of warehousing. We are purchasing bluestone, that is, limestone. This is to send money to the outside world, so we must pay more attention!"
"You three, do you have any objections to this arrangement?"
"By the way, the wages for you three are two yuan a day, sixty yuan a month!"
"Our kiln factory has just been established, and all supporting facilities are not yet complete, but there is no need to worry, we are slowly improving."
"For example, in the cafeteria, you can eat in the factory for lunch, but you have to pay. Don't worry, the money will be deducted from your salary at the end of the month."
"Haha, what does Xiao Liu want to say? The money is not much, because the factory provides subsidies."
"Not sure yet? A steamed bun costs two cents, no meal stamps or food stamps."
"The steamed buns cost two cents each and come with two sides. Isn't that expensive? This is a cost price supply."
"The biggest subsidy is in the dishes. We do heavy work here and need to replenish oil and water for the workers, so there must be meat in the lunch dishes."
"A portion costs five cents. It contains meat and is quite a lot. The average is two or three taels per person!"
"Qin Shi, are you going to eat big bones and stewed cabbage today?"
"By the way, you need to pay attention when buying steamed buns. Each person can buy up to five, which means each person is rationed to one catty per day. No more."
“There’s nothing good to say about the food, it’s only five cents a piece!”
"Okay, that's all. Qin Shi, do you have anything to add?"
Qin Shi immediately said: "Now that deputy director Zhao Erwa has gone to work, both parties are supervising the accounts. Can we send some money in advance?"
I mentioned this during lunch yesterday, but I just got the chance to implement it today!
"What do you mean?" Qin Zheng frowned and asked deliberately.
Qin Shi immediately said: "It's difficult now. Although we will subsidize a meal at noon, it's not very effective. We still need the employees to have some money at home and improve their lives, so that they can have the strength to work!"
Qin Zheng looked at Zhao Erwa: "Deputy Director Zhao, what do you think we should do? This is indeed a problem. The food in the cafeteria at noon is better than at home, so I can't bear to eat it!"
Zhao Erwa discovered that there was a problem inside, which seemed to have been discussed in advance by the factory director and the accountant.
After thinking about this, he felt a little funny, and he just wanted to laugh, but then he couldn't laugh. I'm afraid they were taking care of them!
The mood became a little heavy, and Zhao Erwa didn't know what to say.
After being silent for a while, Zhao Erwa finally said: "Okay, let's pay half a month's salary in advance! Everyone is in trouble now!"
He turned around and looked at the two comrades next to him. Although they were not from the same army, how could he not know what the situation in the village was like?
After returning for half a year, his family's current conditions should be considered good, but their life is also miserable.
It's not a family conflict, it's a matter of sitting on the fence and feeling uneasy!
"You will be paid as soon as you get off work today!" Qin Zheng said immediately when he saw no one objected.
After reaching a consensus, Qin Zheng talked about the future work for a while.
The main thing is the division of labor. In fact, there is nothing to say. What each of them does has been determined.
It is already working time, and Zhao Chuanjia and Liu Zhuanfu are going out to work.
The bluestone that the team brought back just now also needs to be recorded in the account.
Many people waiting outside now come to buy lime, and they also need to leave the kiln, weigh it, and collect money.
With the help of these two new colleagues, Qin Shi doesn't have to be as busy as before.
After Zhao Chuanjia and Liu Zhuanfu completed the formalities and left, Qin Jun also got the money.
Eight kitchen knives were sold for only 16 yuan, an average of 2 yuan per knife. The price was not cheap in this period.
However, if these eight knives were kept in future generations, they would still be sold for five to six thousand yuan.
The four pots, on the other hand, were sold for twenty-four yuan, a total of forty yuan.
After working hard for a long time, Qin Jun was still a little uncomfortable with making such a small amount of money.
But when he got the money, he still smiled.
If you really think about it, forty yuan is really not a small amount now. After all, it is higher than many workers' monthly salary.
So, he was right not to bring the hammer!
If dozens of hammers are sent, even if each hammer head costs a dollar, it will still cost dozens of dollars.
The water needs to flow slowly, and the kilns are smashing stones every day. There will definitely be a shortage of hammers in the future.
As long as Qin Jun has enough hammers in his hands, there will naturally be factory directors who will ask him to order them without him having to go door-to-door to sell them.
The good thing about this era is that no matter what you produce, you don’t have to worry about selling it!
The Qin army was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, so naturally they were not in a hurry.
Counting the money in his hand, Qin Jun felt very satisfied!
He finally had money, and it took him nearly a month of hard work to get it.
Compared to later generations, it was really difficult to make some money during this period!
Now that he has a total of forty-eight yuan in his hand, he should go to the commune to have a look, maybe he can find something interesting.
Ignoring Comrade Zhao Erwa's strange eyes, Qin Jun counted the money and left the cave.
Qin Jun needs to finish his work quickly so that he can have time to go out for a walk.
Zhao Erwa said with a look of disbelief: "You mean, the kid just made these iron pots by himself?"
When Qin Jun left, perhaps sensing Zhao Erwa's thoughts, Qin Shi gave a little explanation.
Qin Shi said with a smile: "Even this lime kiln factory was supported by him!"
"Is he that little technician?" Zhao Erwa was even more surprised.
Qin Shi took a serious look at him. Zhao Erwa was already prepared!
Qin Jun collected the money and happily came to the lime kiln, which was already busy.
Although Qin Han had never joined the company before, he had never had any other complaints. Qin Jun asked him to work, and he just did it.
Of course, Qin Jun couldn't just keep letting him work in the kiln factory without giving an explanation.
Therefore, with a large number of employees joining today, Qin Jun had already agreed with Qin Zheng and Qin Shi that not only outsiders would join today, but also many people from the village would join.
For example, Qin Han, and then Qin Zhike and Qin Yingchun.
Including the three of them, there are already twenty-nine employees in this kiln today!
Even so, these are definitely not all.
Because Qin Jun had already planned it, he was sure that there would be more employees here.
However, it cannot continue now.
Because four kilns of lime are produced every day, which should be enough to feed thirty workers.
Now the daily sales revenue of this kiln factory can reach 240 yuan.
After deducting the material cost of 120 yuan and the labor cost of 35 yuan, the profit is still 95 yuan.
Even if each person subsidizes another ten cents, it will only be three yuan a day, so the final net profit will be ninety-two yuan.
A small lime kiln factory with almost 30 workers can still make a profit of 92 yuan. What more can I ask for?
Qin Jun is still very satisfied with the current profits.
"No, there is still a profit of 400 kilograms of coal a day!"
When passing the coal pile, Qin Jun suddenly remembered that with his technology, he could save 100 kilograms of coal for every kiln of lime produced!
In this way, the coal for cooking in the kitchen every day is also available, and it is not even used.
After calculating how much money was left every day, Qin Jun calculated how to continue to support people.
Rather than dividing the money earned as profits, it would be better to support more people.
After all, if money is divided, it is divided between the commune and the team.
The most important thing is that the commune accounts for the lion's share, and even if it is allocated to the team, the 45% is not much money that is actually distributed to each member.
If everyone shares a little, it is better to convert the profits into wages and let the family earn a little more.
As for the injustice caused, who cares?
Anyway, Qin Jun doesn't care. People have different distances. If Qin Jun recommends workers, he will naturally choose people who are close to his family.
"The stall is getting bigger, and we need to have guards in the future. Wait a minute, don't worry!"
Since this kiln doesn't make money, it might as well be used to support people. What if a few qualified talents are cultivated?
These Qin soldiers have already had an idea. After all, he will definitely do something in the future, but there are not many people in the village who can help him.
