Chapter 122: Recruitment
During the Ming Dynasty, whether it was the royal family or the common people, there were rules for choosing names, and they could not be taken indiscriminately, and this law continued until the Republic of China period. Of course, it is only when there is a war, or a major disaster, that people are displaced, die, etc., that this pattern begins to change.
Since Xiaoxiao left the palace, today is the second time to enter the palace, the first time is to congratulate Zhu Youxiao on winning a daughter, and he left soon after coming at that time. And this second time I entered the palace to consult about the Fengqiu Huang ready-to-wear store.
Feng Qiuhuang's business is so good, it is indeed beyond Zhu Youxiao's expectations, "You must first solve the problem of production capacity, you can recruit skilled female workers in the private sector to establish a garment workshop, as long as the craftsmanship is good, don't care about money, even five taels of silver, or even ten taels of silver a month." ”
"The slave has the same idea, and is already recruiting female workers, but the wages are not as high as you say." Xiaoxiao said.
"The second is to establish ready-to-wear stores all over the country." Zhu Youxiao said.
"How much manpower and material resources do you need to do this?" Xiao asked in surprise.
"Of course, it's not possible now, but Jingshi needs to build at least three or more ready-to-wear stores, and then gradually develop to Nanzhi, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other places." Zhu Youxiao proposed.
"The slave understands what the emperor means." Xiao Xiao thought about it and said.
"Third, when the production capacity can meet the sales, you can launch limited edition clothes, such as a limited edition of 100 or 200 pieces, and then stop making this type of clothes when you sell out, of course, the price of this limited edition clothes is higher than the usual price, can you understand?" Zhu Youxiao suggested.
Xiaoxiao shook her head blankly, she really couldn't understand what Zhu Youxiao meant.
"I heard that folk comparisons have become a trend, during the period of Emperor Sejongsu, Yang Bo and Yang Shangshu once said that border towns like Ningxia have become popular, and if a woman from a poor family does not wear jewelry, others will look down on her. The launch of the limited edition by Phoenix is to take advantage of the psychology of human comparison, and some people may buy it back and put it at home to see, and they may not wear it once. Zhu Youxiao explained briefly.
"Wait until the slave maid tries it in the future." Xiao nodded and said.
"Fourth, your clothing store is not limited to selling dresses, you can also sell belly pockets, small clothes...... cough cough ......" Zhu Youxiao's words came here, he found that his little face suddenly turned like a red apple, he found that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, now it is not as good as the future generations, and he can speak without scruples in front of a familiar woman. He coughed dryly twice to hide his embarrassment, and then explained, "What I mean is that you can also sell some other clothes, the most expensive thing in Fengqiu Huang is the trademark of Feng Qiuhuang, only with the mark of Feng Qiu Huang on it, no matter what it is, it can be sold at a high price." ”
"The slave understands." Xiao Xiao replied in a whisper. Her face was still red.
Zhu Youxiao didn't know if she really understood or fakely understood, and he couldn't care about it so much, he continued: "Fifth, you can sell some rouge gouache under the brand of Fengqiuhuang in Fengqiuhuang, of course, the quality must be good." There is a fragrant powder shop in Yangzhou Gongzi Street, the owner is called Dai Chunlin, his incense powder is extremely good, you can send someone to buy his formula. Forget it, I'll do it. ”
Zhu Youxiao turned his head to Wang Liqian and said, "Send someone to secretly summon Dai Chunlin to Beijing, I want to meet him." Zhu Youxiao thought about it and decided to talk to Dai Chunlin in person, such a thing would definitely not be good for Xiaoxiao.
"No." Wang Liqian bowed and replied.
"I've thought of this for the time being, and if you have any questions, you can always come to me. The queen misses you a lot, so you can stay in the palace today and leave after dinner. Zhu Youxiao said.
"No."
……
After Xiaoxiao left the palace, he began to recruit people according to Zhu Youxiao's suggestion.
This time, the recruitment of Phoenix once again caused a sensation in the entire Beizhi. And all this is caused by the treatment given by Xiaoxiao, who gives a monthly salary ranging from one tael to ten taels.
What is the concept of a monthly salary of 10 taels? At this time, the annual income of a Qipin county official is about forty-five taels, and the annual income of the general soap is about twenty taels.
Xiaoxiao's monthly salary is calculated as one or two a month according to the lowest, and there are more than twelve taels a year, which is already a very good salary for women in this era.
On the day when Xiaoxiao officially recruited workers, the little women who had not left the cabinet, the little women who had left the cabinet, and the old women in their thirties and forties (a lot of grandmothers in their thirties in this era) all came.
Xiaoxiao originally planned to take the exam in the store, but there were so many people that she had to move to a workshop outside the city to take the exam. And the small recruitment exam is also very simple, the female red is tested on the spot, and the female red is admitted according to the level of the female red.
The whole recruitment lasted for three days, and Xiaoxiao originally planned to recruit only 100 people, but finally decided to increase it to 300 people. There were too many people coming, and they couldn't resist the pleas of others, so the number increased again and again.
"Xiaoxiao, I really can't recruit anymore, the number of people has already reached three hundred, and if there are more people, we have no place to arrange." Maria dissuaded.
"But there are so many people who haven't taken the exam yet?" Xiao Xiao said softly.
"Xiaoxiao, we really can't recruit anymore, we are businessmen now, not here to send relief, if we recruit again, we may have to go to the emperor to ask for money to support these people." Marta also discouraged.
"Xiaoxiao, it's inconvenient for you to come forward to refuse them, so I'd better come. Marta, you take Xiaoxiao back first. Maria said.
"Okay." Marta nodded.
……
The small ready-to-wear workshop is also placed in Zhu Youxiao's Huangzhuang, no way, the land around the Beijing Division is owned by the owner. The small ready-to-wear workshop was built on a makeshift basis, and the full-scale workshop is still under construction.
The owner of the ready-to-wear workshop is Maria, who is not suitable for the role of a capitalist, but Maria is different, she comes from the West, was born in a merchant family, was born with the aura of a capitalist, and has a thorough understanding of the role of a capitalist, she has formulated a series of rules and regulations for the workshop, if it were not for a small opposition, she would have arranged a day's working hours at six or seven hours, and finally under a small request, the daily working hours were set at five hours.
"I won't say much, you know there are a lot of people out there waiting for this job, and if anyone can't do it well, I'll let her go immediately." Maria said coldly.
