Chapter 88: Nanshan Workshop
When Sun Zhuang heard Gu Beichuan's words, he suddenly felt bad.
But after thinking about it carefully, I felt a little hesitant.
Nowadays, brothers work hard by the fire all day long, for what reason?
Isn’t it just to support the family?
But the blacksmith profession is very particular.
During the busy farming season, everyone comes to make farm tools one after another, so the income is very high.
But what about after the busy farming season?
The number of people using iron tools will gradually decrease, and this is also the low period for Yong'an Blacksmith's income.
However, according to Gu Beichuan's wishes, as long as he joins Feihong.
Then, no matter whether farming is busy or slack, you will receive a fixed monthly amount every month.
If you do well, there will be some rewards.
Isn’t this kind of stable life what the brothers yearn for?
So without thinking too much, Sun Zhuang quickly agreed.
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he immediately showed a happy smile.
At this point, his trip to Huainan has come to a successful end, and it is time to return to his home in Nanshan.
Maybe all the merchants' children are here.
However, only Gu Beichuan and some servants were there to ensure safety.
When he left, he took dozens of people from the entire Yongan Blacksmith Shop with him!
After returning to Nanshan Residence, Gu Beichuan discovered that the merchants' sons had indeed arrived.
However, he didn't have time to care about these people for the time being, but went to the workshop first.
The workshop was officially named "Feihong·Nanshan Workshop".
At the same time, four departments were divided, namely the textile department, headed by Aunt Zhang, who led a group of peasant women and more than a hundred female workers from Shen Ji.
The blacksmith department is composed of the original team of Yongan Blacksmith Shop, headed by Sun Zhuang.
The Ministry of Agriculture is composed of dozens of Bagong villagers led by Li Laoer.
The brick kiln department is headed by the boss of the Qin family, and there are also dozens of villagers from Bagong Village.
But this time, Gu Beichuan learned the lesson from the last silk production failure. In each department, in addition to the director, several technical posts were set up, and the monthly salary was particularly generous.
Needless to say, the technical post in the Textile Department must be female worker Shen Ji.
The Ministry of Agriculture does not need technical posts. Li Laoer and others are already working in the fields. Wouldn't it be superfluous to find an expert to teach farmers how to farm?
The technical post in the blacksmith department is naturally filled by Sun Zhuang and some more skilled blacksmiths.
The technical staff of the brick kiln department were brought back from Huainan by Gu Beichuan this time. He was afraid that Boss Qin and others would not understand the ropes and start work indiscriminately.
The original Nanshan workshop only had a few dozen female workers, but after the expansion, there were hundreds more people, which is considered a large-scale workshop.
The general person in charge of Nanshan Workshop is still represented by Fu Bo.
But Gu Beichuan has already said that Uncle Fu will step down from his position as the person in charge sooner or later.
And the candidates are the four ministers!
By the spring of next year, whoever has made the greatest contribution will be the overall person in charge.
As soon as these words came out, the people below instantly became excited.
Sun Zhuang originally thought that it would be good to have a fixed monthly payment. But now, there is still hope to manage hundreds of people. If it really happens, how can he not get this monthly payment?
He was so excited, not to mention Aunt Zhang, Boss Qin and Lao Er Li.
These three people are farmers, and they may not have much money even though they work all day long.
But because of Gu Beichuan's relationship, he received such huge benefits.
Now there is an opportunity to go further, and where can I not work hard?
Of course, the position of the minister is not static.
Gu Beichuan put down his words. Each department must conduct an evaluation every month.
The person with the most outstanding contribution will replace the minister.
As soon as this policy came out, the employees below became very motivated.
Uncle Fu watched from the side, and his eyes almost popped out of his head.
It's not like he hasn't been to the Gu family property with Gu Jun.
But Gu Jun always has only one thing to say when motivating workers: "Work hard, guys, and when the goods are sold, I will give you a monthly salary increase."
As a result, the goods were sold batch after batch, but the workers' monthly wages did not increase. Over time, the enthusiasm naturally dropped. No matter how many times Gu Jun came and talked more, it would not help.
Gu Beichuan, on the other hand, had never been here a few times from beginning to end, and he didn't talk much.
But it made the entire workshop staff eager to work day and night.
These methods are really much better than the master's.
How happy would the young lady be if she knew something from the bottom of the spring?
At this point, the affairs of Nanshan Workshop have basically come to an end.
Unless which department produced the finished product, Gu Beichuan would not interfere.
It's time for him to teach the children of merchants well.
…
Time flies, and it is late autumn in the blink of an eye, and winter is about to begin. Huainan is adjacent to the Huaihe River, which makes the weather much colder, making it increasingly difficult to get up.
But even so, at dawn, many figures gathered in the main hall of Nanshanju.
They were either dressed in embroidered mink velvet or carrying portable heaters. They were also covered in jewels, showing off their wealth.
Obviously, these are the children sent by merchants.
Together with Shen Liangfu, there are eleven people in total.
By the spring of next year, Gu Beichuan must ensure that at least one of these people will be awarded a Jinshi.
Otherwise, the bet will be invalid and Feihong will get nothing.
Fortunately, even though these people are from rich families, they have read a lot of books and are all from Juren background.
He is not as dandy and unworthy of development as imagined.
Squeak!
The main hall door was pushed open, and Gu Beichuan, wearing only a single coat, walked in with a book.
When the eleven people saw this, they stood up quickly, bowed and said respectfully: "Teacher."
Da Qian pays attention to the master of heaven and earth. This master is recognized for free. Once you accept it, you will serve it for life.
If he regrets his decision midway and rebels from his school, he will most likely end up with a notorious reputation and be ostracized by the scholarly community.
Therefore, today’s first lesson is actually very important.
After all, not everyone is willing to worship him as their teacher.
After Gu Beichuan sat down, before he spoke, Shen Liangfu stepped forward and handed his mink velvet and heater to Gu Beichuan.
At the same time, he said sincerely: "The weather is getting colder. I hope the teacher will take care of himself. Otherwise, it will be the disciple's fault."
Gu Beichuan was stunned by this move, and then smiled and said: "Liang Fu is very thoughtful."
"Take a seat."
After Shen Liangfu sat down, Gu Beichuan looked at everyone's faces in order.
I found that among these eleven people, none of them were younger than him, and all of them had the honor of being a civil servant.
Although she is older than him, she is still only thirty.
Such eleven people, placed in Jianghuai County, are enough to be called young talents.
However, since he is a young talent, his face is full of arrogance.
After some calculations in his mind, Gu Beichuan cleared his throat and said:
"How many of you are willing to worship me as your teacher?"
As soon as this statement came out, as expected, except for Shen Liangfu, only three disciples nodded in agreement, four hesitated, and the remaining three were indifferent.
Chapter completed!
