Chapter Seventy-Six: Rectifying the Workshop
Min'er withdrew both the Liu family and the Xu family, and the Li family moved back to the Zhao family on the same day, and Min'er would visit the Zhao family every day. Li has a hard time, for her own purpose can only be hard work, this person who has not really done any work since childhood was trained by Zhao and soon became a good worker.
"Sister, you're back, Aunt Zhang came to look for you twice just now." Ling'er said when she saw Min'er coming back from Zhao's house.
"I see, I'll be over later." Min'er laughed in her heart, it's only been a few days, and she can't stand it? She'd like to wait a few more days.
"By the way, just now Youren said that the new workshop will be completed tomorrow, and I asked if we have any arrangements?" Ling'er, who was practicing calligraphy, remembered this.
"Lan Xin, you go and tell Youren that after the completion tomorrow, measure the beams on the gate, and we will hang a plaque at that time." Lan Xin responded to the call, and Min'er watched Ling'er practice for a while and said:
"Ling'er, your words are getting more and more beautiful, this kung fu is really not in vain, I can't stand my eyes after practicing for so long, let's go to the workshop with my sister to have a look." Ling'er raised her head when she heard Min'er's words, and knew what was wrong with Min'er's expression, so she went to the workshop with her.
The two sisters did not enter through the back door of the workshop, but went around to the main entrance, and when they entered, they were immediately invited to the hall by Aunt Zhang and others. Ever since I had a full-time bookkeeper, I was in the hall when I had something to discuss.
"Miss Min, Miss Ling, please use tea." A team leader in the workshop served them tea, Min'er and Ling'er said goodbye and didn't drink, and after seeing that several people were seated, Min'er slowly spoke:
"Aunt Zhang, I heard Ling'er say that you went to find me for something?"
"Miss Min, we all don't understand something, so let me invite you." I don't know when Min'er has been far away from everyone, even Aunt Zhang and they have to treat her with the attitude of the owner.
"As I said, my father is in charge of the affairs of the workshop, why don't you ask him about something but ask me?" Min'er looked puzzled.
"We asked, but Zhao Ye said let's find you." Aunt Zhang saw that everyone didn't speak and just looked at her, so she had to take the conversation.
"Oh? What's the big deal, my dad can't be the master? Min'er's expression was completely surprised.
"There is a lot less work in the workshop for a while, and people in this workshop are panicking, and I heard a few days ago that I want to take people down, so everyone asked me to ask if there is such a thing?" Aunt Zhang didn't know how to speak, it was one thing for everyone to talk behind their backs, but now it's another thing in front of Min'er.
"Oh? Who are you listening to? We're all old people, so let's just say it if we have something to say" Min'er saw that they refused to say it directly, and she was a little angry in her heart.
"Miss Min, we heard that you are going to renovate the workshop, we want to ask if there is such a thing?" Aunt Zhang knows Min'er best, and she now shows that she is impatient, and it is better to tell the truth.
"I've been doing it for a long time for this, I have this plan, I thought I'll tell you in a few days, since you know first, then it's okay to say it today." Min'er said suddenly, Ling'er has been listening to it in a fog, but looking at Min'er's demeanor, she knows that things are under her control.
"Lan Xin, you go and call all the people in the workshop to the courtyard, I have something to say." After Min'er finished speaking, she went directly to the courtyard without giving everyone a chance to ask questions, and the others followed suit.
Originally, Aunt Zhang wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Zhou, Ling'er naturally noticed this action, she turned her head to look at Min'er and found that Min'er's eyes flashed. She disguised it so well that she wouldn't have noticed it if she hadn't been very familiar with her. When Lan Xin gathered everyone into the courtyard, Min'er saw that her father was also among them, so she motioned for Lan Xin to invite him to her side.
"Everyone, I have something to say today, don't interject until I finish speaking, whoever violates this rule will leave immediately." Min'er said seriously, this sentence shocked everyone, not because of the content of the words, but because her attitude was something that everyone had never seen before.
"When I'm done, if there are any questions to be asked, it's the same as before, and it's the turn of whomever to talk about it. Now listen carefully, you all know that I have built a new workshop, and I have never hidden it. I've said a long time ago that the people in that workshop must be the ones I sold back, and I asked you what I meant at the beginning, so the matter over there has nothing to do with any of you. In the past, I thought that everyone was from the same village, and this rule was loosened, thinking that there was no need to be too much of my own people. But it turned out that I was wrong, as the saying goes, there are no rules. From today onwards, our workshop must set up rules, otherwise it will not be long before the workshop closes. Min'er's voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by everyone, and some of these words were understood and some were not.
"First of all, let's talk about the fact that there is less work in our workshop, in the past, only one of us had a lot of work, but now? There are workshops in several villages, although they are not as big as our workshop, but they also affect us a lot. Originally, who has the ability to do it, but who has done what in our workshop understands, I know who penetrated this way, and I never said that I wanted to see how far she could go? Mr. Wei, what I told you the day before yesterday, are you ready? Min'er suddenly asked Mr. Wei, only to see him step forward and say in a deep voice:
"Ready, ready to go."
"Okay." Min'er completely ignored the people who were blindfolded, took out the documents handed over by Lan Xin, and said in a loud voice:
"When we signed the paperwork, we didn't say the time, I was holding the original paperwork, and today I want to sign it again, this time to sign the time. It is divided into three years, five years, ten years, and twenty years. This time is not as many years as you want, but I said that if you want to sign for a few years, you will be a few years, and I will decide whether you can sign again after the expiration. Naturally, I will not mess with the rules, but according to her performance, and in the future, I will set up a special rule unit, which is responsible for everyone's rules. That is to say, in the future, you should pay attention to your words and deeds when working in the workshop, if any of you can't stand it, you can not sign, and if you don't sign, I will give you two more months' wages. Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking, there are such a few kinds of people I don't sign. First, if there is a workshop at home, it is not signed; second, the mouth is not strict, and those who love to talk nonsense do not sign; third, the hands and feet are not clean, and those with criminal records do not sign; Fourth, those who do not abide by the rules and do not obey the rules will not sign; Fifth, the body is incomplete, and those who are sick do not sign; Sixth, the young and the old do not sign. When I'm done talking, any of you who have any questions will ask them. After Min'er finished speaking, she sat on the chair that Lan Xin had moved for her, took the tea from Ling'er's hand, and nodded approvingly to her.
"People who don't meet the conditions my sister said stand here, people who meet the conditions stand over there, and people who have questions line up to ask one by one." Ling'er saw that there was some chaos below, and hurriedly stepped forward to organize people.
Soon, everyone stood in line according to Ling'er's arrangement, and only Aunt Zhang and a few people were left who didn't know what to do. In fact, they don't want to work in the workshop for a long time, only a few dollars a month? Is the bulk of your own business, isn't it for the convenience of the workshop?
"Miss Ling'er, can we ask now?" The person standing in the middle waiting to ask the question said when he saw that the line was lined up.
"Let's do this, ask one, and after my sister finishes answering, the next one will ask." After Ling'er organized the people, she sat next to Min'er, and Qiao'er used to manage the order of the people in line.
"Miss Min, I want to ask when we will sign if we want to?" Female worker A asked.
"I'll post the rules of the workshop in a while, and if I can do it, I can sign it immediately." Min'er replied that as soon as she finished speaking, several people left the team, and it was estimated that these people's questions were the same as the first person.
"Miss Min, can you sign for twenty years?" Female worker B asked.
"New signatories can only sign for three years, five years at the end of the good performance, ten years if the performance is still good, and 20 years if the performance is still good. After the expiration of the twenty-year period, there is no need to sign again, and you can get the pension money of the workshop at home until you die. Min'er's words made everyone present boil, she had said such things before, but it had never been realized, and now that it has been realized, how not to make everyone boil.
"Miss Min, if you don't do it when the expiration date, you'll be old?" An older female worker asked.
"Those who have worked in the workshop for twenty years before the age of sixty and have performed well during this period will receive pension money, but less. For example, if a person who has worked for 38 years receives one tael per month, then you can only receive 500 wen. Now I can't say exactly how much silver I will receive by then, but I promise that it will not be less than 500 wen, and of course if the workshop closes, there will be no more. "Min'er made it up with Mr. Wei and her father this time. As soon as Min'er's words fell, the few people in line left and stood aside, apparently waiting for the signing.
"Any more questions to ask?" Lan Xin shouted loudly, in fact, she was just reminding the chiefs.
"Miss Min, can we take a step to speak?" Seeing this, Zhou had no choice but to ask.
"Okay, Lan Xin, you go to the workshop over there and ask Youyi to bring the rules over and paste them, and there are those you don't understand to tell you." Min'er went straight into the room after speaking, she had already expected this to happen. Ling'er also understood at this time that her sister was going to deal with a few of them, the question was why? Is it just because of their petty selfishness?
