And those soldiers who surrounded Hu Changan and others naturally went back to receive punishment under the leadership of Fu Youde.

Looking at the people in the distance, Hu Changan couldn't help frowning.

It seems that in the future, we should take the upper route more.

At present, most of the goods sold by Hu Changan and the reforms targeted are only aimed at the working class.

For the upper echelons, Hu Changan's penetration is not enough, which will lead to sudden false accusations and frame-ups from time to time.

Hu Changan thinks it's time to invent more products to envelop the upper echelons!

Back in the house, Hu Changan just wanted to think about what products to use to win people's hearts, but was interrupted by the sudden report of the little guy: "Hu Gongzi, Steward Li's letter is here!" ”

"Didn't you send him to Lingnan to buy sugarcane before, and now Steward Li has purchased a batch of sugarcane, which can be shipped to Hufu tomorrow!"

"Steward Li himself is still in Lingnan and has not returned, saying that it is now the sugarcane harvest season, and he wants to continue to buy some sugarcane there."

As he spoke, the little servant respectfully handed Steward Li's letter to Hu Changan.

Hu Changan nodded with satisfaction after reading Steward Li's letter.

Although I was scared by the knot today, there are still good things happening.

Steward Li is in Lingnan, but he bought a lot of bagasse at a low price.

Originally, bagasse was a by-product of sugarcane juice extraction, and if no one came to buy it, it was disposed of as feed or fertilizer by local farmers.

At present, there are unjust people who have come thousands of miles to buy this kind of scraps, and the local farmers are naturally happy to sell all the sugarcane bagasse to Steward Li for money.

The price of goods in Lingnan was originally cheaper than here in Yingtianfu, and what Steward Li bought was bagasse that others didn't want, so the money spent was naturally not much.

The money actually spent by Steward Li was much lower than Hu Changan's psychological expectations.

What's more, Manager Li has a handwritten letter written by Zhu Yuanzhang in his hand, and officials from all over the country naturally give Steward Li the green light.

The miscellaneous tolls that were originally to be charged should not be paid at all.

Seeing this, Hu Changan was also very satisfied.

As a businessman, who wouldn't want to buy the most raw materials for the fewest price?

In fact, Hu Changan also considered letting local farmers directly brew their own rum, and then he would buy it in a unified manner.

However, in this way, it will definitely cost more money than buying bagasse outright.

And rum is liquid after all, and the portion is still there.

Considering the transportation in ancient times, the cost of transporting so much rum to Yingtian City was not small.

Besides, brewing rum is a new technology, and Hu Changan is afraid that there will be no one to guide these people to make wine, resulting in undrinkable scraps for them.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Hu Changan still decided to let Steward Li directly purchase bagasse locally in Lingnan, and then directly transport it to Yingtiancheng for unified brewing.

handed over the letter he had read to his subordinates, and Hu Chang'an waited for the arrival of tomorrow.

......

In the afternoon of the next day, Hu Changan rode his horse to the workshop.

The original workshop has been expanded.

Next to the soap workshop, another alcohol workshop was built.

At this time, in front of the alcohol workshop, the bagasse purchased by Steward Li to Lingnan had already arrived.

The newly recruited craftsmen are working hard to bring the bagasse into the warehouse.

What Hu Changan saw was such a busy scene.

The newly opened brewing workshop not only has the old employees who were in charge of brewing wine in Hu Chang'an's mansion before, but also the professional brewing masters that Hu Changan dug from the time-honored winery in Yingtiancheng.

Most of their ancestors were engaged in winemaking, and their craftsmanship was exquisite.

Hu Changan came this time just to get familiar with the new workshop and establish his authority by the way.

These old craftsmen, only if they show their true skills, they will be convinced of you.

When the craftsmen saw Hu Changan coming, they hurriedly stopped what they were doing and greeted Hu Changan.

Hu Changan also smiled slightly and clapped his hands at everyone: "Everyone, don't be busy yet, let's come over and have a meeting together." ”

Under Hu Changan's call, these workers also came to the small courtyard in the middle of the workshop.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Hu Changan cleared his throat and made a speech on the completion of the new workshop.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy to see this new brewery completed."

"Without further ado, let me first explain how wages are calculated."

When everyone heard this, they immediately pricked up their ears and looked forward to it.

As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, and those who come out to work, which one is not for the sake of money?

Most of these experienced masters changed jobs, and most of them also took a fancy to the high wages of Hufu.

Now that it is spread from ten to hundred, everyone knows that the salary of Hu Fu is one of the highest in Yingtian City.

As long as you work diligently, the salary can reach an astronomical amount that ordinary people dare not imagine.

Hu Changan's next words did not disappoint everyone.

"In this brewery, people are divided into groups of four."

"The basic salary of each person is two taels of silver a month, which is the same as the soap factory next door."

"On top of the base salary, there are bonuses."

"This prize is based on the group, and for each jar of wine brewed, the group will receive an additional bounty of 100 silver."

"At the end of each month, the steward will pay out all the group's bonuses, which will be divided equally among all the craftsmen in the group."

"The group with the largest number of winemakers every month, your portrait will be hung on the door of the brewery, and everyone who walks by will see what you have contributed to the workshop."

"And the group with the least number of winemakers each month, your portrait will be hung on the door. But it's not an honor, it's a shame. Everyone will see that you are the bottom of all the people in the workshop. ”

Hu Changan's plan can not be described as vicious.

In fact, Hu Changan can also let all the workers in the workshop share the money equally, but in this way, there will be no competition.

Only competition can arouse everyone's enthusiasm for work.

Brewing is different from making soap, making soap is more suitable for mass production, while brewing is more focused on the quality of each jar of wine, which can be said to be more of a one-person operation.

At this time, it is only fitting to introduce a competitive mechanism.

After hearing this, everyone was in high spirits.

They must be the most efficient team, and strive to make their portraits can be posted on the wall and admired every day!

However, some people questioned Hu Changan: "Hu Gongzi, I don't know if this group is a free group or a designated group?" ”

"If the old craftsmen all form teams internally, won't we newcomers suffer a big loss?"
