Yin patted the shabby cotton clothes, and the loose clothes shook off her thin body with dust a few times, and then the Yin family walked over to Lu Yuan and Uncle Fei with a smile on his face.

"Don't kneel, just stand and pick it up."

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

Yin sighed, and hurriedly stood up straight on his knees that were about to bend down, and his wrinkled eyes kept staring at the exquisite letter of appointment in Uncle Fei's hand.

Lu Yuan handed the letter of appointment in Uncle Fei's hand to the Yin family, and handed a round seal that had been engraved in advance to the Yin family.

"This is the letter of appointment, this is the seal of the head of the weaving workshop, you take it yourself, this letter of appointment is written on the meaning of appointing you as the head of the Lu family weaving workshop, this seal is your authority to manage things in the future, every batch of goods from the weaving workshop must be checked by you, and you have to stamp your seal on the bill of lading before you can take it away, understand?"

"Understood, understood!"

Yin nodded hurriedly, and couldn't wait to take over the letter of appointment and the seal of the supervisor, she didn't know the words, and she didn't know if the words on the letter of appointment really wrote the meaning of making herself the supervisor, but she still counted in her heart, and found that the number of words on it was the same as the number of words that Uncle Fei read just now, so she didn't have any objections, and she was only full of pride at this time.

As for the supervisor's seal, Yin felt even heavier, for fear of removing it.

Lu Yuan arranged the appointment of the Yin family as the head of the weaving workshop with such a sense of ceremony, naturally in order to improve the management level of his Lu family's industry.

A beautifully packaged letter of appointment and a seal symbolizing responsibility and authority will enhance the orderliness of the weaving workshop more than verbally arranging Yin as the head of the weaving workshop, and will also make the people of the weaving workshop more honorable and motivated to work in the Lu family.

In fact.

Except for the Yin family, Lu Yuan's monthly money for the weavers is not high, even if it has increased by five hundred yuan or even one or two silver now.

According to the price of the Ming Dynasty in the current Chongzhen period, two taels of silver per month can be regarded as a very high salary, and one tael of silver can only be regarded as okay.

Of course, Lu Yuan was not unwilling to give the weavers two taels of silver per month or even more.

Lu Yuan just wanted to increase the frequency of the weavers adding moon silver, and he didn't plan to directly add a lot of moon silver to the weavers in a single month silver addition transaction.

People's greed is endless, and they will not be satisfied for a lifetime because they suddenly have a high salary of two or two months of silver.

Therefore, Lu Yuan did this to increase the enthusiasm of the weavers, so that they could maintain the joy of increasing the moon silver for a long time.

Of course, the weavers are not stupid, if Lu Yuan sets the basic salary very little, and then slowly increases it like this, it will also be seen through by the weavers, and it will make the weavers dissatisfied because of this.

However, Lu Yuan didn't do this, and now the monthly silver given by his weaving workshop is already very high even if it is one or two silver a month, and many craftsmen in the workshop don't even have monthly silver, so it is good to be able to have a full meal.

No way, manpower in this era is too cheap.

Lu Yuan is already the most benevolent capitalist in doing this.

The weaving mill selected the person in charge, and the next step was to recruit new weavers.

Linqing is an important town by the canal, which has gradually grown to a population of more than 100,000 people, relying on immigrants who come from business and work.

The Lu family is the same, a merchant who migrated here many years ago.

Therefore, Lu Yuan has no clan relatives behind him, and he is closer to the town residents of later generations, and the acquaintances he knows are basically neighbors.

And Lu Yuan can only recruit workers from his neighbors now, and secondly, he can also go to the canal wharf to recruit those displaced people who sell coolies from the south to the north.

The neighbors are all familiar people, and they know the roots, so they are naturally the first choice.

Lu Yuan didn't need to recruit many workers this time, only three.

But Lu Yuan still plans to conduct a formal interview process, after all, the workers who enter the Lu family industry now will not only be used as workers in the future.

Not long after Lu Yuan said about recruitment, the news of the Lu family's recruitment spread.

"Do you know that the Lu family is going to recruit three weavers?"

"I've also heard about this, and I've also heard that the current salary of the Lu family's weavers is good, and ordinary weavers have one tael of moon silver."

"Yes, this is too good, I thought it would be better to let that kid in my family go in and eat, this is better than consuming food at home, but I didn't expect to have such a high amount of moon silver."

"This Lu family seems to be really generous, I almost thought that their Lu family was about to decline, no wonder the Tang family still wants to marry them."

"Not really! According to me, this Lu Yuan is also very strange, I used to see him stupid and unproductive, but now he seems to be doing better than his father back then, no matter what, I have to quickly find Uncle Fei of his family, and find a way to stuff myself into it as a weaver, which is much better than washing people's clothes. ”

Soon, some of the neighbors came to find Uncle Fei or directly found Lu Yuan's mother, Lu Kang's, all wanting to let themselves or their own family come to work in the Lu family's weaving workshop.

Lu Yuan had already guessed that this would be the case, so he only asked Uncle Fei and his mother to promise that those who were willing to come to Lu's house to work could come to Lu's house at three o'clock on the second day of September to gather outside the main gate of Lu's house and wait in line for an interview.

Wait until the second day of the ninth month.

Lu Yuan directly set up a desk in the gate and began to interview these people who wanted to enter the Lu family as weavers one by one.

But when the ugly hour arrived, Lu Yuan found that there was only a skinny little boy standing in the first row outside the gate of the entire Lu family, wearing only a patched single coat, standing trembling outside the door.

Lu Yuan didn't say much except for asking Uncle Fei to give the little boy a piece of clothing, and he also knew that it was a little early at this hour, so naturally he didn't blame these neighbors who were preparing for the interview to be late.

After most of the neighbors arrived and lined up under Lu Yuan's command, Lu Yuan began to interview these neighbors.

"Brother Yuan, I am the son of the second cousin of your godmother's seventh uncle, my name is Yuan Zhonggui, I am Chinese New Year's Eve sixth, I have taken a county exam, but I have not been able to pass the government exam, and now the family is too poor, since the old lady left, I don't want to read anymore, do you think I am qualified to work here with you?"

A middle-aged man wearing a green lazy scarf cautiously asked Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan stared at the green above his head and smiled, then asked, "You have passed the county exam, which means that you know a few words?" ”

This Yuan Zhonggui nodded.

"Okay, you go back and wait for news", Lu Yuan said, without giving this Yuan Zhonggui a clear answer, leaving only his address.

After a long time, a young man walked over and knelt down directly at Lu Yuan and kowtowed: "Childe, I can also recognize words, I can also count!" ”

But at this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "He is a wild seed brought by the Du family from outside, don't accept him, son, his stepfather is not easy to mess with!" ”

The others also chimed in: "That is, no one dares to keep this child, if you have a kind heart, just reward him with a meal, but don't let him work, otherwise his silver will not fall into his own bag, and he will only be gambled by his stepfather." ”

Lu Yuan hurriedly asked Uncle Fei to shout, "Quiet!" ”

The people waiting outside for the interview fell silent.

Here Lu Yuan continued to ask the boy's name and other questions, but the boy was not affected by others, and clenched his fists and answered them one by one.
