Chapter 238 036: Women are not inferior to men

When Mr. Bai came to the tea brick workshop to observe and learn, the one who behaved most unnaturally was Jie Ming. The couple now saw each other morning and night, which was awkward even thinking about it.

It's a pity that Mrs. Bai didn't feel anything. She had studied housekeeping, but managing a workshop was much more complicated than being a housekeeper. She studied very seriously. If she didn't understand something, she would not only ask her husband for explanation, but also ask other people without shame.

Even his fiery temper has calmed down a lot.

Gradually Jie Ming felt that it was not so difficult for his wife to become a colleague with him, especially since he had more experience in managing the workshop than Mr. Bai. This allowed him to overcome his wife addiction and he could confidently

Calling Mr. Bai a pig-headed person who didn't even understand this, Mr. Bai just glared at him, but didn't show off his anger as before, which made him so happy that he almost flew up.

Of course, this is the passion of the couple. When others saw it, they thought the two were playing tricks, and they all felt that it was immoral for the two of them to continue to act like shit despite their age.

When Mr. Bai complained in front of Chang Xi, she was not playing tricks with Jie Ming. He was clearly taking the opportunity to show off in front of her.

Chang Xi patted her shoulder lightly, "Okay, don't feel aggrieved. You and your wife can just go back and settle the matter behind closed doors. He will definitely not be able to beat you."

Hearing these words, Mr. Bai's face turned red, and he said, "Ms. Chang, you've learned too much," and hurriedly ran away, so as not to make her face so hot that she could fry an egg.

Chang Xi innocently spread his hands and turned to ask Dong Li in the room, "Am I wrong?"

Dong Li smiled, then stood on Chang Xi's side and said, "Mrs. Eighth Young Master is wrong."

"I think so." Chang Xi sat down again and clicked his tongue twice, wondering where Bai was thinking.

At this moment, Shi Axiang brought the manager in, "Ms. Chang, Brother Si is here."

Chang Xi then put away his teasing, stepped forward to greet the manager, and then left Shi Axiang to entertain the guests.

"Ms. Chang, why did you ask Axiang to come to me in such a hurry?"

Because James had sailed back to China, his translation work had also come to an end. He had been at sea recently. After receiving the letter from Shi Axiang, he hurried ashore and came back. He was quite anxious along the way.

He knew what Chang Xi's purpose was in looking for him. Secondly, he was worried that something might happen to Shi Axiang and the others, so Chang Xi asked him to come over to solve the problem.

In short, he was unhappy with what happened in the past two years.

Fortunately, as soon as she met Shi Axiang, she said that everyone was very nice. The jobs in Yiyang City were very stable and the salary was not low. Some people even wanted to settle down in Yiyang City. Life on land was always more stable than on the island.

many.

Only then did he put his heart back into his chest, and then he hurriedly came to see Chang Xi.

Chang Xi looked at his dusty expression and realized that he might have misunderstood. She quickly apologized. When the manager waved his hand, she got to the point and asked about the rubber tree.

The manager immediately knew what kind of tree Chang Xi was looking for. "Is it the kind of tree that oozes thick white sap? And it grows in a hot, humid and rainy climate."

"Yes, that's it." Chang Xi's eyes lit up and he said. It was obvious that the manager had seen this kind of tree before, which showed that their fleet had been to Southeast Asia and other places.

The manager wanted to laugh when he saw Chang Xi's look, but he held it back in the end. In fact, it looked like Chang Xi looked like a young girl, not as mature and capable as usual, "Okay, I'll bring you some specially."

Plant a tree, but where do you plan to plant it?"

"To the south of Daewoo Chaochu, the climate there is suitable for its growth." Chang Xi has already made plans, and is even planning to send people to conduct field inspections and buy more than ten acres of land specifically to grow this.

If rubber can be invented, then many industrial equipment can be produced, and it will not be difficult to build a bicycle or a sewing machine.

When the manager found out, he immediately agreed. After negotiating the price with Chang Xi, he also agreed on the delivery time, and the matter was finally settled.

Chang Xi invited the manager to eat in a small private room in the cafeteria of the tea brick workshop. In order to avoid embarrassment, he left Shi Axiang behind and added the couple Ming and Bai to make the scene more beautiful.

The manager is not a talkative person, but he can still talk to Xie Ming fairly well.

After the guests and hosts had enjoyed themselves, he said goodbye and left.

The matter of building a factory building for the spinning workshop was officially put on the agenda. Since Wu Laosan and other strong men in the village were still building the expanded tea brick workshop, they had to find someone else to build a house for the spinning workshop.

Time and manpower shortages began to appear.

Yiyang City's parents, Mr. Guan Zhou, came specially to meet Chang Xi, which surprised Chang Xi because she really didn't have much interaction with him. However, since the visitor was a guest, she still greeted him warmly in person.

Mr. Zhou's appearance was quite easy-going this time, and even his official authority was reduced a lot. He paid special attention to Chang Xi's interactions and looked very respectful.

This made Chang Xi wary. It seemed that Mr. Zhou was asking for a lot this week, so he paid more attention to it.

After some polite remarks, Mr. Zhou finally revealed his intention, "I heard that Mrs. Chang is planning to build a spinning workshop, is that true?"

It turned out that this was what he was talking about, Chang Xi said with a smile, "This is exactly what I wanted to do, and I have already asked people from the official office to measure the land. The preparations are almost complete, but the workers to build the house have not been recruited yet."

After Lord Zhou heard this, he admired Chang Xi even more. This woman sounded like a practical person when she spoke, so he did not use official talk, "Although Yiyang City is rich, there are always some villages that are particularly poor. They are not

The law relies on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the sea eats the sea. Madam Chang, can your spinning workshop be moved to these places? With this workshop here, he can

At least we can have a profitable business, just like this tea brick workshop has brought several nearby villages, and now it has expanded its recruitment to residents of Yiyang City. This will bring many people into employment, which is a good thing." After a pause,

"I think we can use this model to help some poorer areas, so that they can have food and clothing."

Chang Xi was not surprised that Mr. Zhou came to help the poor this week. Even in the environment of the Daewoo Dynasty, the economy was not an important criterion for measuring political performance, but the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and being a local official was also a plus for political performance.

After thinking about this, she said apologetically, "Mr. Zhou, it's not that I don't want to, but it's difficult to handle this matter. Let's put it this way, the main reason is that I can't split into two parts. The two are separated in two places."

I can't take care of the workshop."

This is the truth. The transportation here is not as convenient as in later generations. If there is any emergency, she can handle it in time.

Seeing Mr. Zhou frowning, she didn't want Mr. Zhou to have a bad impression of her this time. After all, the county magistrate was not as good as the current manager. Building a good relationship with the official would be beneficial to the progress of her career. "Another important aspect is the talent pool.

Training, this is currently unsolvable, I only have these few people on hand, they are barely usable, it is even more difficult to train a person who can take charge of his/her own duties, Mr. Zhou, please forgive me."

With such heart-to-heart talk, what else can Mr. Zhou say? He can't force others to do anything. After all, there are very few people who open large-scale workshops like Chang Xi. There were none before her. Now some people see that her model can be used.

In other industries, some people also plan to imitate.

"That's because I'm being rude."

Chang Xi saw Master Zhou wanting to get up and leave, so she smiled and asked him to listen to her plan again, "Master Zhou, please think about those poor villages. I do have a problem of recruiting workers here. The tea brick workshop needs to allocate one person."

There are a large number of people, but the spinning workshop needs female workers in the later stage, but the early work has to be done by male workers. Mr. Zhou, how about we cooperate?"

"How to cooperate?" Mr. Zhou asked doubtfully.

Chang Xi said, "Those poor villages have excess labor. Why not set up a huge construction team that can recruit strong laborers from poor villages to build houses. Of course, their wives and daughters can also come, and then they can be directly used for spinning.

In the workshop, in this way, poor villages can also get opportunities to make money."

Mr. Zhou was very moved by this suggestion. This operation could indeed find a way for them to make money, but the question arises, "If this is the case, wouldn't the fields in those villages be lost? This is not possible."

If the Yushitai knew that he was doing this, he would read his book. After all, agriculture and mulberry trees are the foundation of the country, and everything else is just a side issue.

Chang Xi has thought about this problem for a long time, "Mr. Zhou, actually there is a solution to this problem, that is, not all the strong laborers in each village are spared, only about 40%, and the remaining 60% continue to work in the village. They

The land can be rented to people who work for farming, and both parties can stipulate a good share of the harvest. In this way, the fields will also be cultivated and will not be left empty. And the people who cultivate the fields will have a corresponding increase in income because they cultivate more land. Mr. Zhou

What do you think?"

When Mr. Zhou heard this, he immediately exclaimed, "This is indeed a win-win situation," "Ms. Chang, I often hear people praising you for being a woman and not being outdone by men. Now I finally understand."

"Mr. Zhou, you have given me the award, but it is actually just a small skill that cannot be put on the stage." Chang Xi said modestly, and then said, "Mr. Zhou, if the spinning workshop is really up and running, and everything like the tea brick workshop is on track, in the future,

We will open more workshops in other places.”

Mr. Zhou now appreciates Chang Xi quite a lot. He knew what her request was when he heard her words, "I can guarantee that all matters related to the spinning workshop that have to do with the government will be handled by me."

Special channel processing can be given." In other words, you will not be stuck at this link.

Chang Xi now really thanked Mr. Zhou for giving her the opportunity, and even more enthusiastically asked Mr. Zhou to have dinner.

"I heard that the food in the cafeteria of your tea brick workshop is good, so I would like to take this opportunity to disturb you."

This time it was Chang Xi's turn to be surprised. Who said that?

Mr. Zhou quickly betrayed this big-mouthed person, "Last time I had tea and played chess with Mr. Yuan when I heard him say something. I really want to come and see him."

"That's Master Yuan's love."

The cooks in the Tea Brick Workshop cafeteria were accustomed to Chang Xi entertaining people from time to time to make stir-fries. But when they heard that today was Yiyang City’s parents’ official, they suddenly became excited and expressed their desire to cook their signature dishes.

Entertain the parents.

Mr. Zhou was even more moved when he found out. After all, after studying, taking scientific examinations, and becoming an official, one just wants to be a good official who serves the country and the people. This is the long-cherished wish of every scholar.

Even Du Guanshi, who was accompanying me, couldn't say anything. He could only poke at the villain secretly. He felt that Chang Xi was too damn good at being a good person. He could win people's hearts without even giving small favors. It was really not that he didn't work hard, but that he was better than others.

Not as treacherous as her.

Xie Ming glanced at Du Guanshi, who felt sour in his heart. He would be jealous of others if he had no ability. This person was so boring.

After Mr. Zhou received advice from Chang Xi, he immediately held a meeting when he returned to formulate policies and set up a construction team. Many people were still rushing to do such things, because there was money to be made.

Master Zhou was aware of these people's thoughts, and this time he decided to use those people who were usually honest and would not flatter others to do this, so as to eliminate any chance of profiting from them.

These sudden changes in the government office were seen by many people. Some people immediately agreed, while others felt that Mr. Zhou was confused. If he offended people like this, he might not be able to stay in this position for long. Thinking of the earthquake in the southeastern officialdom before, he began to

Alienate yourself from Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou used this incident to gain a clear understanding of many people's hearts. While feeling chilled, he also drew a clear line between himself and those who acted according to the prevailing circumstances.

The news about setting up a construction team naturally spread to Huaihua Village. Chang Dadou and Mrs. Li, who had been worried after sneaking home, saw people from the government coming to the village. They were so frightened that they took their sons and hid in their eldest daughter's house.
