After breakfast, Kong Fang took Fang Shibo to the construction site. The servant was not a professional craftsman, so he was still worried. Since Fang Shibo wanted to manage the workshop, he should witness everything from the beginning.
The two arrived at the construction site, and Kong waved to a servant.
"Agui, come here."
Agui is the second generation servant of the Fang family. He is nineteen years old. He has been working as a servant in the Fang family with his parents since he was a child. He is smart, diligent and learns things quickly.
What surprised Kong Fang the most was that he knew a lot of words.
According to him, he was the tea boy sent by Mr. Fang to Mr. Luo, so he had the opportunity to enter and leave the Fang family private school. He was very envious of the opportunity for the young lady and the young master to study.
Although he also wants to be a scholar, he is a second-generation servant, not a second-generation rich man or a second-generation official. He does not have the right to receive an education.
But his humble background could not stop his desire to study. So he often looked for opportunities to secretly learn to read with the young master and the others. Over the years, he knew many words.
Although he could not compose poems or articles or obtain fame, he was already a leader in the servant world.
Kong Fang sympathized with his life experience and admired his progressive spirit.
Compared with previous generations, the Daxing Dynasty was too poor and backward. He randomly took some commonplace property from his previous life and put it in, and it was a great achievement that created the world.
But he is not omnipotent. He cannot do everything by himself. If you want to develop your career, you need to discover, cultivate and reserve talents.
As for talents, in addition to their personal abilities, what is more important is loyalty.
Agui just meets these conditions.
On the way here, Kong Fang fed Fang Shibo a large pot of chicken soup and taught him how to be a good boss. Agui will be the first person he can use.
"Hello, uncle, hello, young master." Agui came up to greet him.
"What are your orders?"
"Agui, with the consent of the eldest lady, starting from today, the young master will be the shopkeeper of the salt making workshop. He will be responsible for all matters in the workshop."
"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master!"
Agui immediately clasped his hands and congratulated her without any hesitation or pretentiousness. His emotional intelligence alone made Kong Fang feel very relieved.
"Agui, I'm young and it's my first time to manage family affairs. I need your help." The naughty kid finally listened to Kong Fang's teachings and immediately fell into the role.
ah……
Agui opened his mouth wide, a smile frozen on his face.
The dignified young master of the Fang family actually said that he wanted a servant to help? This early in the morning, Master, this joke is not funny at all.
Fang Shibo was not as tall as Agui and could not pat his arm to show off, so he had to stand with his hands behind his back and continued: "Agui, you are the best among our servants. Mr. Luo once lamented in private that you were delayed by fate. people."
Tears instantly overflowed from the corners of Agui's eyes and he rubbed his hands together, "Mr. Luo really said that?"
Fang Shibo nodded.
He went on to say:
"Actually, it doesn't matter. I am very satisfied to be able to work as a servant in the Fang family and have the opportunity to serve my husband, young master and two young ladies."
Look, this is emotional intelligence!
"Agui, what the young master said is true. From today on, the young master is the shopkeeper of the workshop, managing all the affairs of the workshop. You are the supervisor, responsible for managing the daily production of the workshop."
"You must cooperate sincerely, work together, and contribute to our salt-making workshop!"
Agui was still confused. Kong Fang clapped his hands and shouted to the servants on the construction site: "Everyone, please stop for a moment. I have something important to announce."
Upon hearing this, the servants immediately stopped what they were doing, stood on the spot, and looked at Kong Fang one after another.
"The first thing is that after the salt-making workshop is built, you will be directly converted from servants to salt-making workers, and your monthly salary will be five times higher than before."
Smiles broke from the servants' indifferent faces.
They don't understand who a worker is, but they understand that after becoming a worker, their monthly salary will be increased five times. They were domestic slaves, and their monthly salary was very small, which could not even meet their daily expenses.
If it were doubled...
Okay, this calculation is a bit difficult. I'll ask Agui, who is literate, to help me figure it out later. As soon as they thought of Agui in their hearts, Agui's name rang in their ears.
"The second thing is that starting from today, Agui has been promoted to the workshop supervisor to assist your shopkeeper in managing the affairs of the workshop."
What?
Agui was promoted to supervisor?
Who is the supervisor?
None of us have heard of it!
But it sounds quite big. It should be similar to the second shopkeeper, right?
The position of second shopkeeper is already out of reach for them as domestic slaves.
They were stunned and even forgot about the joy that they were about to have the opportunity to get a raise.
"Ouch"
A scream broke the silence of the scene, but Quan Fu was holding his feet and gasping in pain. It turned out that he had been holding a brick just now. Suddenly he heard that Agui was being used by his boss. In a moment of excitement, he let go and was hit in the foot by the brick.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Agui rushed forward with a lunge.
"I'm happy." Quanfu looked up, with tears in his eyes but a smile on his face.
Agui was stunned. Are you still happy after your foot was smashed? Could it be that dad's hamstring and brain were smashed together?
Kong Fang was also surprised that Quan Fu turned out to be A Gui's father, and the father and son even worked on the construction site together. "Agui, take your dad to the pharmacy to apply some bruise medicine. It will heal quickly and won't hurt so much."
Quanfu hurriedly refused.
"No, no, this little injury will be over soon. Thank you for your kindness."
Fang Shibo took out the bruise medicine he carried with him and handed it to Agui. Kong Fang secretly praised the naughty kid for being good at winning people's hearts. This small move of his will establish his lofty status in the salt workshop in the future.
This is not bragging.
Because the people at the bottom of the Daxing Dynasty did not have any dignity, their lives were as worthless as grass, no one cared about them, and no one sympathized with them.
Fang Shibo was the young master of a large landowner and the helmsman of a star company. His move almost broke the core of separation between the lower class and the high-end class in the Daxing Dynasty.
The reason why man is more advanced than other animals is that he not only created the world, but he is also rich in emotions and knows how to be grateful.
Agui thanked him profusely, took the medicine and knelt down to apply it to his father. The envious eyes of others fell on Quanfu and his son.
They don't envy their loving father and filial piety, but they envy their bad luck.
Quanfu's instep was swollen, his skin was purple, and the blood seemed to be breaking out of a cocoon. Kong Fang's flesh ached when he looked at it, and Agui was careful when applying medicine, fearing to pierce the skin.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
A woman hurriedly squeezed in. Half-kneeling on the ground, she was shocked and frightened when she saw Quan Fu's foot injury. Back then, their family of three fled to Qinghe County. They lived in poverty, had no relatives, and had no choice but to sell themselves into slavery.
As a domestic slave, she certainly knew what Quanfu's injury might mean.
I don’t have enough money at home to hire a doctor to treat my injury!
The master will not take care of idle people! If you miss the work, you will be punished by the master.
