Chapter 47: Women Workers
"I'm back!" Ziyi didn't wait for the carriage to stop, and jumped out of the carriage directly, not cheerful.
Mo Dun was not in such a good mood, he forced down the nausea in his heart, and stepped on the ground of Mojia Village, which slowly became more comfortable.
The carriages of this era had no shock absorption, no tires, and the official roads were uneven and bumpy.
"This carriage is too bumpy?" Fu Bo also held his waist and came down slowly, as for Tie'an, he had no heart and lungs, and there was nothing to do.
"The young master is back!" Li Yi, who got the news, rushed over as soon as possible.
"Uncle Li!"
After getting off the ground, Merton no longer wanted to be in the carriage, but did it under the company of Li Yi, and slowly walked towards the village!
When he returned to Mojia Village again, Morton found that Mojia Village had changed greatly, and the entire Mojia Village had simply become a construction site, and it was busy everywhere.
"This year, we are going to build more houses, after all, there are too many young men in the village who are married, so as not to marry someone else, but not live in a new house, which makes people laugh!" Li Yi pointed to a large construction site and said.
After the first month, the weather gradually warmed up, and it was a good time to start building a house.
"Hmm!" Merton nodded, "Give priority to the villagers who are married, and solve the problem of singles, and at the same time, we must also take into account some villagers in the village who have dilapidated houses." ”
Li Yi nodded: "Young master, don't worry!" I've watched all these things. ”
Mo Dun forwarded it a little and found that Mojia Village was going well, so he returned to Mofu.
After sitting down a little, Merton talked about the recruitment of workers in the steamed bun shop!
"Recruitment?" Li Yi was shocked when he heard that the young master had opened another prosperous steamed bun shop in just ten days.
"Not one, three more are about to open!" Ziyi added on the side.
"But it won't be long before spring ploughing will begin, and the strong guys in the village will plough the fields, and there will be a fish wharf built in Shijiao Lake, Lao Zhangtouna has been expanding his manpower, and the guards in the village are also recruiting." Li Yi frowned and said, Mojia Village is still mainly agricultural, spring plowing requires a large number of manpower, plus Mojia Village is under construction, and manpower is also a little insufficient.
"No one?" Merton frowned.
"Now the only women in the village are left, old and weak!" Li Yidao.
"Women can do it too! This kind of living woman in the steamed bun shop is even more proficient. Merton's eyes lit up and he said.
"Young Master! Isn't that okay? Li Yi hurriedly stopped, "How can any woman show up, that won't be criticized!" ”
Fauber also nodded in agreement, and he also felt that Merton's proposal was too bold!
"We are Mohists, why do we need to learn the rules and regulations of Confucianism!" Merton retorted.
"I'm afraid the women in the village don't agree either. No one necessarily wants to! Li Yi frowned and said, now the entire Tang Dynasty is like this, unless it is a widow, there are not many women who show their heads and cause criticism.
"This is easy to solve, you go and tell the women in the village that they are all in the back kitchen, and no one usually goes, and the steamed bun shop is a part of the three young masters of the country, no one dares to make trouble, and the salary is not less than that of men." Merton promised.
"Isn't the salary less than that of a man?" Li Yi couldn't believe it.
"Brother Li, don't worry, you don't know how good the business of the steamed bun shop is now, and there are three stores about to open, this is a big source of wealth for Mojia Village!" Fu Bo patted Li Yi and agreed with a smile, so that these women would have no worries.
With Fu Bo's assurance, Li Yi believed that the steamed bun shop had a great future, and that it could make use of the women of Mojia Village, which was simply adding more than half of the labor force out of thin air.
"If there really is so much work, someone should be willing to go." Li Yi nodded.
Merton nodded, recruiting female workers was an idea he had thought of a long time ago, more and more people from Mojia Village went to Chang'an City to work, for a long time, the people left behind in Mojia Village were women and children, and there would be chaos for a long time, and they could bring their families with them, and the two of them worked at the same time, then the family would soon become rich, which was a double thing.
"That's great! Now the biggest source of money in Mojia Village is the live fish business, and the secret recipe for live fish will be announced soon, so we have lost the most important source of money. Fauber said with a sigh of relief.
He is now in charge of the finances of Mojia Village, and the expenses of 5,000 people are all on him, which can be described as a lot of pressure.
"Don't worry! Fu Bo, even if he loses the secret skill of live fish, the live fish business in Mojia Village will not fail, at most it will be impacted. Merton reassured.
"Brother Fu, don't worry! The artificial fish farming in Shijiao Lake is very smooth, and there will be a lot of income at that time, and there are plans to reclaim more than 500 acres of land this year, as long as God does not come to a natural disaster again, the crisis of Mojia Village will be over! Li Yi assured.
Fu Bo was relieved, compared with last year's situation, Mojia Village is now the richest moment in the past 20 years, the village has nearly a year's worth of grain stock, and there are various industries outside, Mojia Village has gradually taken on the appearance of poverty.
When Li Yi announced that Chang'an Bun Shop was recruiting female workers, and the wages were not lower than those of men in Mojia Village, the women of Mojia Village immediately became a sensation!
"I'm going!" Guo Xiaomei was the first to sign up! Li Xin often runs in Mojia Village and Chang'an City, and has long thought that she has said that Chang'an City is prosperous, she has long longed for it, and Li Xin often runs on both sides and is not afraid of not seeing each other.
With the first lead, other women also responded, some were family members of the fish shop, some were in urgent need of money at home, and some were yearning for life in Chang'an City.
In a short time, 200 people signed up!
"Please don't worry, this is recorded first, give priority to admitting young and capable, and don't be discouraged for the rest, there are many opportunities in the future."
In the end, Li Yi increased the screening conditions, but he still couldn't stop the enthusiasm for signing up.
"Young Master! There are already fifty more people! Li Yi said with a sad face, even if the unqualified ones have been screened out, there are still many more suitable candidates.
Merton waved his hand and said: "All the admissions should be cultivated, and the food business will continue to expand in the future, and there will be no one to choose when the time comes!" ”
Merton's food plan is not just a kind of steamed buns, he will add the delicacies of future generations one by one, and when the time comes, it will form a Mojia beautiful city, which will require more manpower at that time, and maybe the female workers in Mojia Village will not be enough!
