Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Ruthless Boy
Luo Shitong is also smart, he knows that this new owner is the younger brother of the Yangzhou city defense commander, instead of being a shopkeeper in a small workshop, it is better to work for Wang Yongan, no matter what people do, where is the identity, no matter what business is done in the future, who dares not to give face to the owner? What means will they do in the future, and who else dares to stop it, this is called leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade - just like Wang Yongan's mentality when he came to Yangzhou at the beginning.

Wang Yongan and Luo Shitong had a very happy conversation, and then talked about the treatment issue, Wang Yongan gave him a common salary in later generations, the basic salary plus bonus system, after an explanation, Luo Shitong was amazed: the basic salary is five taels of silver, and the bonus is divided into seven grades, one thousand taels, five hundred taels for the second grade, one hundred taels for the third grade, fifty taels for the fourth grade, ten taels for the fifth grade, five taels for the sixth grade, and one tael of silver for the seventh grade.
The difference between these seven bonus levels is so big that Luo Shitong was really shocked, but if you think about it carefully, if you can make more money for the factory, you will naturally have your own benefits. After signing the contract, Luo Shitong hurriedly returned to his old club to resign, and then ran to Wang Yongan's house with his luggage to live temporarily, and then lived in the factory after everything was ready.
Next, Luo Shitong began to recruit workers, Wang Yongan originally hoped to recruit some female workers, but Luo Shitong stopped him in time, saying that it would be better to recruit some male workers first, so as not to make trouble for some false Taoist scholars. In addition, if you start using male workers, you will not get into trouble in the future.
After a few days of busy work, Jin Dabao, the tooth man, ran over to Wang Yongan dejectedly and said: "That old man is unwilling to sell his ancestral house, it is all a barren grassland, how can he ...... How...... Alas, I'm sorry Fourth Young Master, it's me Jin Dabao who is incompetent, and I won't have the face to see you in the future. ”
"It's going to be more trouble for you to find workers in the future, if you don't see me, I want to see you." Wang Yongan comforted him with a smile, and rewarded him with some silver, which was considered a hard work.
Jin Dabao insisted on accepting it at first, but he couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the other party, so he had to accept it. Then he said goodbye to the old mansion of the Wang family, but he was very ashamed in his heart, but the old man was indeed very stubborn, and he would rather panic a piece of barren grassland than sell it to anyone, and he could not do anything about it. The stubborn old man is not the kind of master who waits for the price to be raised, but the stubborn old man is ashamed of his family in his heart, and would rather keep it for the lonely soul and wild ghost to live in, rather than sell the ancestral house, only he will be released after a hundred years.
Jin Dabao secretly said to himself: "The fourth young master is so good to me, if I don't help him, I will be underestimated in the future." ”
After the tooth man left, Wang Yongan sighed bitterly, and could only make other plans.
When I slept until midnight, I heard someone whisper, "Master, Fourth Young Master." He felt the gun in his hand, got up to open the door, and carefully saw that the person who came was actually Liu Tong, only to hear Liu Tong whisper: "Master, the old man is dead." ”
"How did you die?"
"I got drunk and fell into the willow lake and drowned."
"Really?"
"Sir, that's true." Liu Tong blinked and said.
Wang Yong'an understood, so he laughed, and had a more appropriate definition of Liu Tong in his heart, this kid is bold and ruthless enough, he planned to find a suitable place to do it himself in a few days, but he didn't expect this kid to be anxious for himself and make the first move.
"It's nothing, you're at home these days, I'm going to send you to the academy."
"Yes." Liu Tong replied in Northeast dialect.
Liu Tong turned around and left, Wang Yongan sighed, thinking that this kid was hard enough, but he was a little impulsive and reckless, if he trained himself a little in the future, he might not become his right-hand man. This kid has walked the rivers and lakes with his father since he was a child, he has seen a lot of knowledge, and it is worth cultivating, which is if he wants to be completely loyal to himself, he needs to be cultivated more.
After the biggest obstacle to running a factory was cleared, the factory was in full swing, and Wang Yongan reported to the Yangzhou prefect. Since the last owner of Nanzhuang also died, it became a borderless land, and the prefect of Yangzhou gave Wang Yongtai face, and ordered Zhizhou to sell the ownerless Nanzhuang to Wang Yongan as a factory.
Five hundred taels of silver were spent, of which only twenty taels were spent to buy Nanzhuang, and the other four hundred and eighty taels were all given to Yangzhou Yamen.
Wang Yongan then gradually withdrew from the matter, and was only responsible for supervising and approving funds from the side. The new shopkeeper, Luo Shitong, recruited 30 male workers with experience in garment making, hired masons to build a factory, bought raw cloth, and after some investment, only waited for the order to be made.
Wang Yongtai saw that his younger brother's factory was being prepared in full swing, so he first used the power in his hands to order a thousand military uniforms under the pretext of wearing out military uniforms. This amount is not much, a military uniform only costs seven yuan of silver, but the price is two taels of silver, and the rest of the people also know whose business it is, so they dare not cut it off, and naturally it all goes into Wang Yongan's pocket.
The first business is considered to be given by his brother, but Wang Yongtai may also report the wear and tear of 1,000 sets of military uniforms every year, and the 24th Mixed Association is only 2,000 people, and because it has just been established for less than half a year, it has not been full.
Thirty workers worked overtime, but many were not skilled because of their first use, but the Chinese's natural skills in labor soon allowed them to learn to use this manual sewing machine. Three days later, the first military uniform was made, Wang Yongan decided to name the garment factory Yanghua Garment Factory, and on the day of the opening ceremony, Wang Yongtai brought about 20 soldiers to cheer. Twenty soldiers with rifles in their hands opened fire into the sky, firing three rounds in a row, which immediately shocked the entire Yangzhou city.
The prefect of Yangzhou hurriedly sent someone to inquire, Wang Yongan had already made a statement, saying that there had been deaths in this Zhuangzi, and he shot to scare away the lonely ghosts, and if they dared to stay here again, I would not spare them. Originally, this was just a rhetoric, but I didn't expect that not only the prefect believed it, but even the people of Yangzhou City believed it, and they became legends one by one.
"Aunt Zhang, tell you a secret, don't spread it. Do you know? The fourth young master of the Wang family's old mansion, that's not an ordinary person. ”
"He Sanniang, what do you mean about this?"
"People are the reincarnation of Zhong Kui, who can subdue demons and suppress demons."
"Oh, and that kind of thing?"
"Don't you know Nanzhuang? It's haunted, the fourth young master set up a field there a few days ago, and when it opened, he drove away all the evil ghosts. ”
"Then we'll have to go and worship."
"Yes, go and say goodbye."
More and more people ran to Nanzhuang to see the excitement, only to see the periphery of Nanzhuang, a few hired people were building a fence with bamboo, so a group of superstitious people knelt outside to worship. Wang Yongan was discussing the next business with Luo Shitong in Nanzhuang, but when he heard the noise outside, he walked out, and saw a group of people kneeling outside to worship, and was startled, so he sent Liu Tong to investigate.
After Liu Tong returned, he explained with a smile, but Wang Yongan couldn't cry or laugh.
A few days later, as the production of military uniforms matured, Luo Shitong asked for instructions to expand production, and Wang Yongan approved the recruitment of 30 male workers and the recruitment of 10 security guards. However, these ten security guards were not recruited casually, he found Wang Yongtai and asked him if there were any retired soldiers who could stay in the factory as security guards.
The biggest difference between the Beiyang New Army and the old-style army in the late Qing Dynasty is that the Beiyang soldiers have a number of years of military service, and they usually retire in five years, but Wang Yongtai is now lacking in the source of illness, where are the retired soldiers. However, there were some retired soldiers in the fifth town, and when Wang Yongtai sent a telegram, twenty retired soldiers were sent to work.
