"Starting from tomorrow, female workers will run for two-quarters of an hour before going to work every day. They will leave work an hour early in batches and go to the shooting range to practice crossbows and operate heavy crossbows and catapults!"
Jin Feng turned to look at Tang Dongdong again: "I will hold a textile factory sports meeting in half a month. The events include cross-country with load, crossbow, heavy crossbow and catapult, etc. I will give out two hundred taels of silver as a reward for this sports meeting.
, you can go back and discuss the specific reward methods with the directors of each workshop."
"clear!"
Tang Dongdong nodded.
"Village Chief, Third Master, Lao Shan, you three have been working hard recently. The construction of the Double Hump Salt Factory and the Iron Can Mountain Drying Shed are on schedule as soon as possible!"
Jin Feng looked at the three village chiefs again.
"Brother Feng, we also want to meet the construction deadline, but it has been raining recently, and there are not enough manpower!" the old village chief said helplessly.
“If we don’t have enough manpower, we need to recruit people as soon as possible!”
Jin Feng thought for a moment and looked at Xiaoyu: "Spread the word and say that we in Xihewan want to recruit workers to build houses. I think it shouldn't be difficult to recruit people."
"Do you want it, female worker?" Xiaoyu asked.
"As long as we can build a house, it doesn't matter whether it's a male or female worker!" Jin Feng said: "We will pay the workers on a piece-rate basis."
"Okay!" Xiaoyu nodded and took note.
The three village chiefs also became happy.
Sichuan and Shu people have been hard-working and capable since ancient times. Female workers may be physically weaker than male workers, but they cannot stand up to the large number of people.
There is no way two female workers are more capable than one male worker.
"Okay, let's go and get busy! Xiaobei, Mancang, Brother Liang, please stay here for a while."
"good!"
Tang Dongdong, the village chief and others walked out of the command room one after another.
"Brother Liang, please send more people to the west and keep an eye on what's going on in Tibet."
Jin Feng explained: "In addition, we will inform Lao Zheng to speed up the training of new recruits and expand the recruitment of female soldiers!"
"Yes!" Zhang Liang nodded in agreement and left quickly.
"The warehouse is full, how many crossbows do we still have in our warehouse?" Jin Feng asked.
Nowadays, the scale of escort divisions is getting larger and larger, and hand crossbows are standard equipment for escort divisions. One of Mancang's daily tasks is to lead a group of female apprentices to make crossbows.
"Nine hundred and sixty-two!" Mancang blurted out.
"Less than a thousand..." Jin Feng thought for a moment and said: "The weather has been bad recently and it takes a long time for the soap to dry. I asked Feifei to remove some people from the soap factory and come over to help and give the unimportant parts to
They process it, speed up the production, and ensure an inventory of at least 3,000 pieces!"
"Okay!" Mancang nodded.
Nowadays, making hand crossbows is also an assembly line operation. All parts of hand crossbows have been standardized and can be mass produced.
If you work hard, the production speed will be very fast.
"After finishing the production of hand crossbows, we will rush to produce a batch of textile machines. By the end of the year, the textile factory is expected to expand its employment on a large scale."
Jin Feng patted Mancang on the shoulder: "Time is tight and the tasks are heavy. Your iron smelting workshop has been working hard recently."
"Don't worry, sir, I promise to complete the task!" Mancang shouted.
"Okay, go get busy."
At this time, only Jin Feng and Tang Xiaobei were left in the room.
Just as Jin Feng was about to speak, he saw Tang Xiaobei smile narrowly: "My lord, have you accepted Zuo Feifei?"
"How do you know?" Jin Feng frowned slightly: "Have you placed an spy in Iron Can Mountain?"
He had skin-to-skin contact with Zuo Feifei just this morning. Tang Xiaobei knew it now. Wasn't his eyeliner too fast?
"What are you thinking about?" Tang Xiaobei curled his lips and said, "It's Xiaoyu's business to set up informants. I'm almost overwhelmed with the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce. How can I have time to take care of Xiaoyu's business?"
"Then how do you know that I accepted Feifei?"
"You used to be called Zuo Feifei, always by your full name, but now you're called Feifei, and you still have a look of love on your face. I'd be a fool if I couldn't guess it anymore."
Tang Xiaobei rolled his eyes at Jin Feng: "Just accept it, why are you so nervous?"
"Am I nervous?" Jin Feng felt guilty, but he never gave up: "Why am I nervous?"
"That's right, it's not a big deal, why are you nervous?"
Tang Xiaobei blinked at Jin Feng: "Ms. sir, next time you go to Iron Can Mountain, can you take me with you? I used to think that Feifei had a good figure, but it's a pity that I never had the chance..."
"rogue!"
Jin Feng slapped Tang Xiaobei, turned around and left.
"Mr. where are you going?"
"Water Jade Workshop!"
"Wait for me!"
Tang Xiaobei quickly chased after him.
After the glass workshop was established, Tang Xiaobei came only once and was stunned as soon as he entered.
"Why so many?"
Tang Xiaobei's voice was trembling.
In front of her eyes were baskets of glass beads of different colors.
The light from the window passed by, shining with various lights.
The warmth of green, the dreaminess of purple, the holiness of white...
Tang Xiaobei's breathing became heavier unconsciously.
Women naturally like sparkling things. In Jin Feng's eyes, glass beads were ordinary, but in Tang Xiaobei's eyes, they were huge gems.
It’s a golden mountain!
Tang Xiaobei stepped forward, carefully picked up one, held it in the palm of his hand and looked at the window carefully.
Lao Tian and his companions carried a basket of newly made beads and poured them into the big basket.
"Be careful!"
Tang Xiaobei was so distressed that he almost jumped up.
He ran over, carefully picked up the glass beads that fell on the ground, and carried them with the hem of his skirt.
Then he ran to the basket and gently put them into the basket one by one just like putting eggs.
"Don't be so careful, water jade beads are very strong."
Jin Feng stepped forward, picked up the beads Tang Xiaobei was carrying, and threw them into the basket.
"Ms. sir, please be gentle!"
Tang Xiaobei rubbed his hands in distress: "This is all money!"
"Old Tian, you guys go out first."
Jin Feng waved his hand towards Lao Tian and others.
"Yes!" Several workers turned around and walked out of the workshop.
"I asked you to come here just to discuss with you. Do you think the grain merchants would be willing to exchange these beads for grain?" Jin Feng asked.
In the era he lived in, glass beads were too common and too cheap.
Although he knew that in his previous life, Hu Shang exchanged a few glass beads for a large house in the prosperous city of Chang'an, Jin Feng still lacked a clear understanding of the value of glass.
I don't know how much a bead is worth.
"They must be willing!"
Tang Xiaobei picked up a glass bead the size of a peanut from the basket: "You take this bead to the capital and say you want to exchange it for a shipment of rice, and the grain merchants will fight to exchange it with you!"
"Is it really that valuable?" Jin Feng asked.
"Of course it's valuable!" Tang Xiaobei said: "When I was still in Chunfeng Tower, my mother-in-law who taught me said that when she was in the capital, a distinguished guest took a water jade bead the size of a broad bean and brought it to the capital.
Jin Yue Pavilion, the best brothel, lived there for two months and slept with the girls from Jin Yue Pavilion. When he left, he took two of the most popular oirans with him. Jin Yue Pavilion also gave him a large sum of money.
