Xiaoyu settled down, and Zhang San asked Xiaolan to call Xiaoyu and prepare to ask about the operating conditions of the commune. Zhang San wanted to check and if the commune was operating well, he would start opening the brewery.
"Sir, are you looking for me?" Xiaoyu knocked on the door and walked in and asked.
"Xiaoyu, you have been working hard recently, are you tired?" Zhang San pulled over a bench and asked Xiaoyu to sit down.
"Fortunately, with the help of Muramasa and Xiaolan, I'm not tired." Xiaoyu replied.
"How can you not be tired? It makes me feel bad to see you leaving early and coming back late every day." Zhang San poured a glass of water for Xiaoyu and said with concern.
"Thank you, Master. Xiaoyu is really not tired. Today, Xiaoyu feels fulfilled and happy every day." Xiaoyu took the tea and said with a smile.
"You, I asked you to leave things to the people below, but you didn't listen. I think that girl Xiaolan is very clever and intelligent, but she is not very literate. She can only help you with odd jobs. Hey, our village still lacks talents.
!" Zhang San sighed.
"Isn't the young master building a school now? There will be suitable talents in the future."
"But water from afar can't quench the thirst of the nearer. You have to take care of all the big and small things at home. I feel really sorry." Zhang San peeled off a candy and handed it to Xiaoyu and said.
Xiaoyu had candy in her mouth and her heart was full of warmth.
"I'm fine, young master. With him here, Xiaoyu feels full of motivation." Xiaoyu said with a sweet smile.
"My Xiaoyu is still obedient." Zhang San rubbed Xiaoyu's head and said with a smile.
"By the way, how much capital does our commune have now? Is the commune running well?"
Zhang San saw Xiaoyu's face turning red and quickly changed the subject and asked.
Hearing Zhang San talking about business, Xiaoyu quickly sat up straight and replied: "There are currently 82 copper coins in the commune's books and a total of about 60 taels of broken silver. This is after deducting the reserve fund reserved for the construction of the industrial park.
amount."
"The main input of the commune now is the sugar mill, carpentry mill, and ironware mill. Breeding is still in its infancy and has not produced benefits for the time being. The income and expenditure of the paper mill is generally stable."
After listening to Xiaoyu's answer, Zhang San thought for a few minutes and then asked: "How about our labor now? Do we have enough manpower?"
"This is what I want to tell you. Except for the elderly and children who cannot work, there are basically no idle people in our village. Especially now that we are building an industrial park, Zhang Ergou is very short of manpower, and there is also a manufacturing industry.
At the sugar mill, there are not enough manpower for export sales."
Zhangjia Village has a population of just over 100, including the elderly and children. Now the entire commune is on the rise. Various industrial plans planned by Zhang San are being carried out, and a labor shortage has arisen in a short period of time.
Zhang San thought for a moment, and decided that the brewery would not be open for the time being, otherwise there would be insufficient manpower. Now Sanwei Bookstore is still using Chang Sun Chong, and Fang Yiai is the one they are looking for, otherwise he will have even more headaches.
"In this case, I will come back and talk to the village leader. Let the villagers ask their relatives and friends first to see if anyone wants to work here. If there are not enough manpower, let the village leader ask the village leaders of other villages to recruit more people.
." Zhang San said to Xiaoyu.
"Then what if our technology is leaked? How about we go to the dental shop to buy some manpower and come back?" Xiaoyu said worriedly.
Zhang San also knew that the people bought from the dental shop would be safer. After all, those people were sold as slaves and had become lowly. The owner's family bought them as their own private assets, even if the owner killed one
No one cares about the two.
But as a modern person, Zhang San really didn't want to take this step. The last time he asked Muramasa to buy a few servants, Zhang San felt very guilty.
"Let's recruit people first. If it doesn't work, we'll wait." Zhang San said.
Xiaoyu knew what Zhang San was thinking, so she didn't say anything more. As long as Zhang San decided, Xiaoyu would abide by it unconditionally.
"Muramasa didn't give you any shoes at work, did he?" Zhang San asked again.
"No, Muramasa is very cooperative with my work. The distribution policy originally proposed by the young master when we cooperated with Muramasa to sell milk candies is now no longer uniformly distributed according to the centralized management of the commune. Muramasa may not be very happy about this." Xiaoyu.
replied.
"I will come back and find time to talk to Muramasa about this. I thought that by arranging his wife to be the person in charge of the sugar factory, he would be more balanced. It seems that people have selfish motives!" Zhang San sighed.
"Yeah, but Muramasa is very serious and responsible in his work." Xiaoyu said.
"Okay, by the way, Miss Suxin used to be a businessman at home. You can take her under your wing and observe her. If her character and ability are good, you can train her well. Our business will grow bigger and bigger in the future. You
One person can never be too busy."
"Okay, young master, wait two days, when he feels better, I will talk to her again." Xiaoyu replied.
The two talked about other things, and Zhang San asked Xiaoyu to go back and have a rest, and he also thought about how to go behind the commune. The early steps were still a bit big, and he needed to slow down a bit.
…
"Third brother, you lazy idiot, get up quickly." Zhang San was still sleepwalking with Duke Zhou, when suddenly he heard the sound of a little girl screaming for bed.
"Little sister, you are going to quarrel your third brother to death." Zhang San sat up and said with a grimace.
"Third brother, I saw you chatting with Sister Xiaoyu yesterday and I forgot to ask you, when will you find me a sister-in-law?" asked the younger sister.
"You should still care about yourself. Have you finished the homework I left for you?" Zhang San said angrily. If the younger sister has something to do recently, she will ask herself when she will get married. Zhang San feels that the younger sister is still too busy, so she
She was given some homework.
"Humph, those arithmetic problems are so difficult, and you don't know how to help me." The little girl complained angrily after hearing this.
"Didn't I teach you everything? You, Sister Xiaoyu, have learned it all, but you still don't have to pay attention." Zhang San said, knocking the little sister on the head.
"Sister Xiaoyu is so smart that she will definitely learn it soon. Third brother, do you want to marry sister Xiaoyu home?" The younger sister shook Zhang San's arm and said coquettishly.
"Little brat, what are you thinking about? Xiaoyu, I treat her as my younger sister. Why are you messing around with me?" Zhang San said angrily.
"Tch, you just don't want to marry Sister Xiaoyu because there is someone outside. You brought one back yesterday." The younger sister pushed Zhang San's arm away and sat down at the table and said angrily.
"Little girl, just mind your own business. Su Xin is homeless, so I let her live in our house temporarily. Xiaoyu is one year older than you, and I have always treated her as my sister.
, so stop thinking nonsense and learn arithmetic if you have nothing to do. I can also help you, Sister Xiaoyu."
Zhang San washed his face and said to his little sister.
"Sir, it's time to eat." Xiaoyu came over and said.
"Okay, come right now." Zhang San replied, then pulled the little girl out.
"Good morning, Miss Su Xin, I'm getting used to living here." Zhang San asked when he saw Su Xin.
"I've met Mr. Zhang. It's nice to be here." Su Xin replied.
The younger sister also said hello to Su Xin. Zhang San saw that Su Xin looked much better today, so he felt relieved and invited a few people to sit down for breakfast.
This was the first time for Su Xin to see such a dining scene. It felt very novel. Watching the little sister and Zhang San bickering, she felt very warm.
