Chapter 17 Appointment of the Weaver Superintendent
After repaying the Zhang family's debts, Lu Yuan and his mother themselves naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yuan had to admit that the taste of owing money was not good.
With no debts and a light body, Lu Yuan can now finally concentrate on developing and strengthening himself, and survive and even rise in this troubled world.
Lu Yuan's mother suddenly wiped away her tears at this time, the usury of more than one hundred taels was a high debt for the Lu family a few days ago, but for the current Lu family, it is no longer nothing.
And all because of his usually stupid-looking son.
Lu Yuan's mother didn't know whether she was excited or relieved at the moment, and as soon as the Zhang family left, she took Lu Yuan into her arms: "My son is out!" Your father's spirit will rest in heaven, woo. ”
"Okay, mother, the good days of our Lu family have just begun, when I marry Tang Ying into the door and give you a few grandchildren, you will enjoy the joy of family, and enjoy the blessings that your father did not enjoy for him."
When Lu Kangshi heard Lu Yuan say this, he was even more happy, and it seemed that his wrinkles were much less all of a sudden: "What my son said is that I am only looking forward to marrying Tang Ying into the door as soon as possible." ”
Lu Yuan smiled, then patted Lu Kang's back, and helped Lu Kang's back to the house with Erniu.
In the afternoon, when Uncle Fei came back, Lu Yuan came to the weaving workshop with Uncle Fei.
A hundred weavers at this time were also gathered.
Lu Yuan was very glad that he still had a weaving workshop after crossing, although it was not a big force, but it could be regarded as having mastered a certain amount of human resources in advance.
In these troubled times, it is crucial to have your own human resources.
Lu Yuan is confident that he can rely on his 100 weavers to survive in this troubled era.
The weavers were obviously more confident than Lu Yuan.
The changes brought by the shuttle loom to the weaving mill, the hundred weavers all saw it, and they also knew that the Lujia weaving workshop had now come back to life and could not be sold or closed down.
And they, the weavers, no longer have to worry about being displaced.
Of course, these weavers also knew that all this was because their young master Lu Yuan invented a new loom.
Therefore, these weavers were sincerely grateful to Lu Yuan, and they did not complain at all because Lu Yuan had made the weaving mill make money now but did not restore their monthly silver.
For these weavers, who had worked as homeless refugees, they were content to have a full meal.
"Fellow workers of the Lujia Weaving Workshop, you have worked hard, without your labor, there would be no chance for the Lujia Weaving Workshop to make profits again."
Lu Yuan arched his hand at the weavers.
"Workers?"
The weavers all thought the word was fresh, but they also felt very kind and a little surprised, after all, the workers probably meant friends, and seemed to be the same people as them.
Uncle Fei couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and said in his heart: "Brother is also too approachable, these weavers are just lowly people, why bother giving them face like this, it is better than a bodhisattva to give them a full meal, and it is not the same when it comes to benevolence and righteousness." ”
And when Lu Yuan gave up his hand to these weavers, some weavers themselves couldn't stand it and began to kowtow and return the salute, thinking that Lu Yuan was a great good person and looked at them all.
After the weavers got up and stood up again, Lu Yuan began to speak again: "Since the Lu family's business is getting bigger and bigger now, Uncle Fei naturally can't manage it alone, so now I need to appoint a weaving workshop supervisor to replace Uncle Fei and be responsible for managing the entire weaving workshop, without being a slave, but you need to sign a new employment contract, and the supervisor will give four taels of silver to the moon!" ”
"Four taels of silver per month?!"
The weavers were stunned, although they didn't know what the weaver supervisor did, but being able to give four taels of silver to the moon had already made them excited!
After all, they used to work with monthly silver and only five hundred yuan, but now if they become supervisors, they can directly four taels a month, which means that as long as they work in the Lu family for ten years, they can live the life of a rich and noble person!
Moreover, what makes these weavers even more excited is that they do not need to be slaves to become the director of this weaving workshop.
The leaders of the ten weaver groups that had been divided into the Lu family weaving workshop were even more excited than the other weavers at this time, after all, they were the oldest in the weaving workshop now, and if they really wanted to promote one person to be the supervisor, they were undoubtedly the most likely to be promoted.
"Uncle Fei, now it's up to you to announce the candidate for the head of the weaving workshop."
Lu Yuan took a step back and let Uncle Fei stand in the middle.
Thereupon.
Uncle Fei unfolded a letter of appointment with a red background and a white heart on silk inner paper, and read: "I hereby appoint Yin, the leader of the first group of the weaving workshop, as the director of the weaving workshop!" ”
The Yin family had been looking forward to the news that he had been appointed as the supervisor, and now after hearing Uncle Fei read his name, he immediately knelt in front of Lu Yuan and kowtowed to Lu Yuan: "Thank you young master, thank you young master, Yin will definitely do a good job!" ”
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Confucian ethics were bad, and it was not a new thing for women to come out to work, so there were also many female weavers in the Lu family weaving workshop.
And now, the Yin family among the female weavers has also become the head of the weaving workshop, which naturally makes other team leaders envious and jealous, especially the male team leaders of some weaving workshops.
It's also a shame that none of the people in the weaving workshop are Confucian scholars, otherwise they would have criticized Lu Yuan's behavior of appointing a woman as the supervisor now.
However, Lu Yuan did not ignore their emotions because these weavers did not dare to express their confusion and unconvinced, in order to continue to maintain the enthusiasm of these weavers to work for the Lu family, Lu Yuan comforted the other weavers after encouraging the Yin family a few words: "Don't be discouraged if you haven't been appointed as a supervisor, the Lu family will definitely not treat you badly, I have decided to restore your monthly silver, and double it on the original basis!" ”
"Thank you, young master!"
"The young master is really good!"
"The young master is a living bodhisattva!"
……
The weavers were very happy, they didn't dare to ask Lu Yuan to restore their monthly silver treatment, after all, they took the initiative to cancel it, but Lu Yuan now took the initiative to restore their monthly silver treatment, and doubled it, which naturally made them grateful to Lu Yuan.
Of course, because of this, these weavers' jealousy of Yin's becoming the head of the weaving workshop is not so strong, and their complaints about the weaving workshop have naturally been diluted a lot.
"In addition, the leaders of each group have the responsibility of managing the affairs of each group, and on this basis, they will add five coins of silver to the moon!"
After Lu Yuan said this, the leaders of the various groups of the weaving workshop had no complaints, and they were even more grateful to Lu Yuan, after all, they realized that even if they did not become supervisors, they were different from ordinary weavers.
"In short, I hope you can continue to work hard in the Lu family, the Lu family's business will definitely get bigger and bigger in the future, as long as you have outstanding ability, I will promote you to become a team leader, a supervisor, or even better, but if you have different intentions towards the Lu family, do something sorry for the Lu family, or do other things that anger and resentment people, the Lu family will also punish you! Don't blame me for Lu Yuan's six relatives not recognizing it when the time comes, understand? ”
Lu Yuan yelled and asked.
"Understood, young master!"
The weavers responded one after another, and Lu Yuan's words just now made them grateful to Lu Yuan and the Lu family and added a trace of expectation to improve their status, and their enthusiasm not only returned to before, but also increased a lot compared to before, and they all wanted to become team leaders and supervisors in the future.
