Eighth, nine houses are called drying areas, with three people assigned to dry, dry and divide the soap.
In addition, 3 workers must be hired to ensure the supply of raw materials, for a total of 24 workers.
After the positions are separated, each worker only needs to be responsible for his own operation steps and will not understand the entire process of soap production. By using high salary as bait, the formula can be kept secret for a long time.
At the same time, after this division of labor, each person is only responsible for one step, which is simple and easy to learn, and also reduces the cost of learning.
...
This is the basic situation of soap workers, and the remaining types of work are relatively simple.
For the cement, you only need to arrange 3 workers for Kyle to make ingredients and collect the finished cement, but you must pay attention to signing a confidentiality agreement;
Distillers, not to mention distillers who make plant essential oils and spirits, mainly ensure the supply of spirits to the dwarves in the territory, and also provide spices for the production of soaps;
We will temporarily recruit 10 brick-burning workers and 20 construction workers, mainly for building houses, factories, roads, and water conservancy projects in the territory.
Sean is an expert in construction. He randomly drew a few construction drawings of brick-concrete houses and construction drawings of ordinary cement roads. When the time comes, he can just let the dwarf engineer instruct the workers to follow them.
...
This time Anduin recruited a total of 70 workers, all of whom were residents of the town.
Moreover, Anduin's salary for the workers is very generous. The salary standard is 4 gold coins per month, including lunch. It is already the same as the salary standard in Yonn City, or even slightly higher.
Therefore, after the recruitment information was released, it immediately caused a huge sensation in Hetan Town.
Adult men and women who received the news rushed to the town center to participate in this recruitment.
Lunch aside, the income of 4 gold coins/month is nearly double that of farming! No one wants to miss this opportunity.
For a time, the center of the town was crowded, and the townspeople couldn't wait to be spotted by Anduin and become a member of the workers.
...
Anduin gathered people and was busy recruiting workers in the center of the town. Sean was also helping at the beginning, but due to his status, he often failed to help.
So at eleven o'clock in the morning, Sean stopped helping and took Windsor towards the castle.
On the way to the castle, Sean was thinking about what to eat for lunch today, but Windsor asked curiously:
"Sir, there is one thing I don't quite understand."
"What are you talking about?" Sean looked at Windsor.
Windsor organized his language and asked:
"Actually, Anduin asked me to ask you this question, that is, why do we only recruit residents of the town for this recruitment, instead of letting slaves do these jobs?
If we let slaves do these jobs and we don’t even have to pay them any salary, wouldn’t we be able to make more money?”
"You said this!" Sean patted his head:
"I have considered this issue a long time ago, and the final decision I made was to hand over all the work to the townspeople and let the slaves continue to farm."
Seeing Windsor's confused look, Sean continued to explain:
"Think about it! If all these workers are made up of slaves, we will get a lot of gold coins in three to five years.
However, ordinary Hetan residents still have no money and no one will buy our products. Exports alone are not enough. It is also important to expand domestic demand.
We also do this to help get rich first and then get rich later, improve the living standards of the residents of Hetan Town, and give them more money to spend."
"I understand somewhat when you say that." Windsor nodded as if he understood.
"Moreover, in order to make slaves more active, sooner or later they will become civilians. If slaves are allowed to do these jobs, many skilled workers will be lost in the future."
Sean smiled and patted Windsor on the shoulder, then walked towards the castle.
...
"Your Highness Sean!"
Before Sean entered the castle, he suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind, and the voice was very strange and he had never heard it before.
Sean turned around and saw a slightly fat businessman wearing a leather coat walking towards him.
I don’t know if it was because he was walking too hastily, but the businessman was still panting as he walked:
"Your Highness Sean, I am Timmy Splash from the city of Yohn, and I am a baron.
Although I have the title of baron, I am just a small businessman and cannot be compared with a big slave businessman like Baron Wells."
Unexpectedly, the businessman in front of him was still a nobleman. Sean immediately gave him a high look:
"So Splash Baron, why did you come to me?"
Timmy Splash wiped the sweat from his face and said with a smile:
"Last time you held a dinner in Yoon City and invited many big businessmen from Yoon City. I found out about the content of the dinner through inquiries from friends.
So, I brought my wife and children to Hetan Town to try my luck... I just saw the notice posted at the entrance of the town, saying that you are recruiting a large number of workers, so I came to find you."
"You don't want to be a worker, do you?" Sean said unexpectedly.
The man in front of me is a nobleman after all. No matter how miserable he is, he will not be a worker, right?
"No, no." Splash Baron waved his hand hurriedly and asked nervously:
"The notice says that you will provide lunch for all workers. I would like to ask if you can outsource these lunches to me? Our family runs several small restaurants in Yohn City and has many chefs."
Sean thought about it and felt that it was not impossible to outsource lunch to the businessman in front of him, which would save Anduin a lot of trouble.
"Let's do this." Sean smiled and said:
"You first go to Archon Anduin to do a test called [Thought Stealing]. After the test is completed, you can just discuss the outsourcing with him directly. There is no need to find me!"
"Okay, goodbye, Your Highness Sean!"
Splash Baron bowed to Sean and left immediately.
…
After the Splash Baron left, Sean shook his head and led Windsor into the castle.
"Sir, as a baron, your status is very different from that of the baron just now!" Windsor said with a smile as he walked.
"Of course!" Sean also smiled: "A count without a territory is not as good as a baron with a territory. This is the difference!
By the way, Windsor, after dinner you go help Anduin, I won’t go.”
Sean stretched as he spoke.
"My lord, what are you planning to do this afternoon?" Windsor asked.
"Me, I'm going to compile teaching materials. It's time to put education in the territory on the agenda!"
…
Sean's experience in his previous life shows that a country's prosperity does not depend solely on population growth.
A population with higher education can form a demographic dividend, while a population with low education can become a population burden (refer to Rabbit and Rabbit, a country in the southwest).
Moreover, education is the cheapest national defense. The prosperity of a country is achieved on the platform of primary and secondary schools.
