Chapter 68: Stewardship

After Huang Liang and Hu Shun brought back the forty dozen gold and silver paper from the Wang family, they quickly recruited a large number of female workers, intending to make these gold and silver paper into paper ingots in a short time.

I want to take advantage of the shop in the town to find out the real situation of the paper ingots, and earn a lot of money before changing my mind!

Huang Liang wanted to rush to work, so he had to extend the daily working hours of the female workers and improve the speed of the female workers' origami.

As a last resort, Huang Liang could only open a salary much higher than that of the Chu family, hoping to pry away a few more female workers from the Chu family's workshop.

Not to mention, there are indeed three people who can't resist the temptation of silver, and Shen Luzhu mentioned the matter of resignation here, turned around and went to the Hu family in Wufang Village!

After this incident of Wang Cuier and being poached by the Hu family, Shen Luzhu began to have different ideas about the operation and management of the workshop.

As soon as Chu Yi entered the house with the footwashing water, he saw his wife there again, writing and drawing on a few pieces of paper, which has been like this for the past few days, and it doesn't look like a new style of paper money, and he is a little curious: "What is this painting of Ah Zhu?"

Shen Luzhu was lying on the kang in their room at this time, thinking about the paper in front of him, and when he heard Chu Yi's question, he turned the paper in front of him in a different direction.

Facing Chu Yi, he pointed to the rules and regulations on it, and explained to him: "I want to make a ledger and put it in the paper ingots workshop in the future, so that it is convenient for us to understand the actual processing situation of the workshop in the future, and it can also avoid things like Wang Cui'er from happening again, but there are some places that have not been thought out yet, you can help me take a look!"

Chu Yi propped his hands on both sides of the kang, and looked down at the thing called "ledger" made by his wife, which was divided into two major areas, and it could be seen that one side was to register the information of the paper cutting group, and the other side was to register the information of the origami group.

Shen Luzhu listed in detail all the information points that need to be filled in, such as the number of sheets received by each group, the number of pieces cut into small pieces of paper or made into paper ingots, how much is left on the day, and how much is lost, and the date of writing and the place where the person who signed it are also marked at the bottom.

Chu Yi took a look at it and felt that this "ledger" was indeed good, all the information points were clear at a glance, and it was indeed as Shen Luzhu said, it was easy to know how many goods were shipped today, and whether there was any discrepancy in the number of papers.

"I think it's good, it's just ......."

"Just what?"

Chu Yi looked at his wife with her elbows propped on the kang and her chin in her hands, no matter how she looked at it, she felt cutely tight, and pinched her nose with a smile: "Azhu, those female workers are afraid that they are illiterate."

Shen Luzhu was stunned: "Ah! That's right!"

Why did I forget that this was in ancient times, although the great cadres advocated reading and literacy, but it was only for men and some honest and enlightened women at home, and the female workers in their workshops were obviously not within this range.

Shen Luzhu looked down at the ledger he had designed for several days, and spread it on the kang like a deflated ball: "Then didn't I make it in vain, I originally wanted to do this well, and the four newly recruited female workers are estimated to have already gotten started, just sort out the future process together."

Put away all the paper and pen on the kang, Chu Yi pulled it up and spread it on the kang, looking a little sad wife, helped her take off her socks, then pulled up her trouser legs, and tried to see that the water temperature was just right, then patted his wife's ankles, motioned her to soak her feet, and then got up and sat beside his wife.

Shen Luzhu, a coquettish star, usually has no opportunity to create opportunities and has to rely on Chu Yi, not to mention the ready-made opportunities now, how can he miss it!

Shen Luzhu collapsed in Chu Yi's arms, humming and chirping in his mouth, and his feet were boredly stirring the water in the basin.

Seeing that his wife was depressed like this, Chu Yi hugged her and coaxed: "The female workers are illiterate, no wonder you, let's just find a literate one."

"Looking for a literate one?" Shen Luzhu raised his head and looked at Chu Yi, what do you mean? Is it that in the future, recruiting workers will have to require people to be literate and make just paper money, no?

Chu Yi saw his wife's expression and knew that she was thinking wrong, so he hurriedly smiled and explained, "Find."

A literate person can write this account, and by the way, he can also supervise and check it."

"Chu Yi, are you saying that we have a steward, just like Lin Ji's papermaking workshop?"

"You don't need to be in charge of the operation of the entire workshop like Steward Li of Lin Kee, you only need to keep accounts and check the daily numbers."

Shen Luzhu sat up from Chu Yi's arms excitedly: "Yes, this can also prevent the situation of someone guarding and stealing, can we also set the members of each group to death, and then select a team leader to be responsible for supervision and management, and then this steward will hand over and reconcile with the leaders of each group."

Shen Luzhu thought about the management model of those companies in his previous life, this kind of hierarchical management seems to be more suitable for them now, someone is responsible for supervision and management, and to a certain extent, it can also avoid quarrels and thefts like before.

"Then we'll spread the news tomorrow, regardless of men and women, as long as they can read and write."

"Listen to our Azhu."

said that he wanted to find a manager who could read and write, but before the little couple could spread the news, they were talking to Chu Ping and asking him to help find some idlers in the village and let people help spread it, and someone recommended himself.

It is Uncle Chu who has nothing to do, sitting in the shop and chatting with the juniors!

"Why don't you go out to find someone, outsiders don't know the bottom line, and they have to worry about whether they will deceive us. I'll take care of it for you."

Third Uncle Chu has long wanted to help his nephew and his family do something, but his legs and feet are inconvenient, so he can only tell his daughter Xiuxiu to help more.

Chu Pingzheng was trying to remember a few important points said by his cousin and sister-in-law, and when he heard what Uncle Chu said, he was a little stunned for a while: "But Uncle Cousin ......."

"Literacy, can count, which one of me can't?"

"Not really."

Chu Yi didn't want to tire his third uncle, and just wanted to dissuade him, but he was also blocked back by the third uncle Chu: "Why, the steward of this workshop still has to be able to run and jump?"

Seeing that Chu Yi and Chu Ping were scolded back by the third uncle, Shen Luzhu thought about it carefully, and felt that if the third uncle helped manage the workshop, maybe it would be a good thing, so he responded with a smile: "I think it's good, having the third uncle in charge is the most reassuring, just to trouble the third uncle to worry about us!"

"Family, if you say that it is troublesome or not, I am idle when I am idle."

Chu Yi saw that his wife responded, and knew that Shen Luzhu must have her reasons, although he still had concerns, he didn't say anything against it.

When Third Uncle Chu left the shop satisfied, Shen Luzhu said his thoughts to Chu Yi: "Third Uncle probably feels a little bored idle all day, so he always wants to help do something, if we are always careful that we are afraid that the third uncle will be tired, I am afraid that he will be inconvenient, but it is not good."

I'm afraid that these are all excessive attention and care for the third uncle, but it seems to always remind him of the difference, it is better to follow the third uncle's mind and let him do something that he is willing to do and can do, the third uncle feels that happiness is more important, isn't it?"

After a long time, Chu Yi nodded, and had to admit that his wife's mind should be more delicate, and what she said was right, if they were too careful with the third uncle, the third uncle might feel uncomfortable.

After deciding that the third uncle Chu would help manage the workshop in the future, Shen Luzhu and the third uncle together as planned, selected three team leaders from the ten female workers, and then signed an agreement with all the female workers, stipulating the responsibilities and obligations of both parties, and the most important thing is that everything in the workshop cannot be disclosed to the public, and the violators must be held accountable and ask for compensation.

Soon out of October 15, the peak season of the Winter Clothes Festival also passed, just when the Hu family in Wufang Village was still seizing all the time and rushing to make paper ingots, the Chu family ushered in Chu Li's tenth birthday.

On Chu Yi's birthday, the milk pudding cake made by Shen Luzhu was a great success, and it was very well received by Chu Yi, now Chu Li's birthday, with the experience of the last time, Shen Luzhu made a bigger one this time, Chu Li is still a child after all, and he loves sweetness more than Chu Yi, so this time the cake Shen Luzhu put more sugar to taste.

My sister-in-law told him a few days ago

As soon as school ends at noon, Chu Li hurried home, and when he saw the big cake on the table, he was very happy!

Chu Li not only ate at noon, imagined the cake for several days, but also received a gift specially made for him by his brother, Chu Li sat among his brother and sister-in-law, not to mention how happy he was, he looked at his brother for a while, looked at his sister-in-law for a while, and felt that he was simply the happiest child!

The family was having lunch when they suddenly heard something seem to be moving outside the courtyard, and before they could go out to check, the door of the hall was vigorously pushed open from outside.

Everyone in the Chu family hall looked out of the door together, only to see Chu Fang's hair messy, his pale face was full of tears, and he was constantly sobbing.

"Cousin, brother and sister! Save me, save our family!"

Chu Fang cried and had already entered the house, pulling Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi and shouting to them to help, not to mention Chu Yi's little couple, even Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu were stunned by her crying.

"Chu Fang, don't cry yet! Let's be clear, what the hell is wrong with you?" Although Grandpa Chu has always been not close to his granddaughter, but in the end, he is his own descendant, so how can he ignore it.

"Yes, Fang'er, you should say it well, who can understand what you mean like you?" Grandma Chu pulled Chu Fang, who was pestle in front of the little couple, and asked her to sit on the chair and talk well.

Chu Fang sat on the chair and cried so much that she couldn't help herself: "Grandpa, grandma, something is wrong, something is wrong!" Ma Wu crippled Liu Sheng in the neighboring village, and the Liu family brought a group of people to carry Liu Sheng over, surrounded the house, saying that if he didn't give money to cure Liu Sheng, he would arrest my Ma Wu to pay for his life!"
