The night is as quiet as water, the front yard of the tea garden, the fog falls like a veil, reflecting the light of the lanterns, hazy and ethereal, quite meaningful.

In the midst of the mist, Song Ren and the others sat around the stone table, on which were placed a few delicate pastries and a pot of freshly brewed tea, and the teapot was steaming hot.

"The production process of loose tea is much simpler, which represents an increase in the output of tea gardens, because I am sure that loose tea will be popular throughout the Ming Dynasty in the future, so I let you buy all the private tea mountains in Jiangdu County, and this is why you have to recruit workers, and at that time, these 20 tea workers are really busy."

"There are fewer workers, and the daily payment is the best way, but once there are more people, this way will bring us a burden, and the benefits of monthly settlement will not only make it more convenient for us to do accounts, but also reduce the mobility of tea workers, and also increase the cohesion of tea workers, and the efficiency of tea production will become more stable."

"That's why I asked you to print multiple copies of the contract I wrote, because the law of the dynasty was very strict on the contract, and with the contract, it not only constrained the tea workers, but also brought them security."

"As for the income, you can rest assured, today's people have insufficient purchasing power for tea, not only the steps of boiling tea are cumbersome, but also because the group tea is sold according to a cake and a cake, the price is expensive, they can't afford it, but loose tea is different, loose tea can be weighed, easy to buy and sell, and according to the quality of tea, varieties and other reasons, the price is not the same, the people are completely consumed, you don't look at such a little change, the profit difference is very big."

Song Ren took a sip of tea slowly and answered Wang Richun's questions.

Wang Richun was stunned when he heard it, he didn't know what some words meant, but he probably understood the idea of this owner, it was a feat of innovation in the tea industry!

In my heart, I admired Song Ren more and more.

At this time, he no longer felt that Song Ren's statement that he wanted to buy all the tea mountains in the county was ridiculous, but felt that it was he who was ridiculous.

Wang Richun took advantage of the light of the lantern to write down on the paper, and asked, "Boss, what is this... What is a non-disclosure agreement for? ”

"Oh, this one."

Song Ren smiled, "When tea brewing becomes the mainstream of the people's way of drinking tea, then other tea associations will compete to follow suit, even if our tea workers don't say the tea making method, some experienced tea workers can also see the clues, and then imitate it, although this confidentiality agreement doesn't play much role, but I'm a person, I don't like to eat traitors inside and out, this is my shackles attached to the workers." ”

"Mr. Wang, don't think I'm a villain."

Song Ren's seemingly casual words made Wang Richun's heart startled, he hurriedly got up, and respectfully arched his hand and said: "The little one doesn't dare, the little one will definitely spare no effort to take care of the tea garden for the owner, and it will also let the people below keep their mouths shut and not let them tell them the method of making tea!" ”

"Eh, Mr. Wang is serious."

Song Ren pressed Wang Richun's shoulder, let him sit down, and then said with a smile: "Manager Wang is too worried, you and I can rest assured, by the way, I told you before, I have other arrangements for your salary, now let me tell you, your monthly money I will rise to ten taels of silver per month, and at the end of the year, according to the income of the tea garden, there will be a bonus separately, and I will also give you a profit." ”

Wang Richun's eyes widened, and he just wanted to get up, but his shoulder was still pressed by Song Ren.

"After you listen to me, I will give you a raise, and naturally the requirements for you are no longer as simple as managing such a tea garden, you will continue to manage the tea garden for the time being, but you must start looking for new candidates to replace you, and you, in addition to helping me buy all the private tea mountains in Jiangdu County in the near future, those newly recruited workers, you also need to train, and help me find a group of people who understand tea and will appreciate tea, I have other plans."

"Is Mr. Wang up to the task?"

After Song Ren finished speaking, he naturally let go of the hand that was pressing on Wang Richun's shoulder.

Sure enough, Wang Richun immediately got up, his expression was a little complicated, "The owner arranged, the small one must do his best, but the salary is ......."

"The salary is given by me, as long as you do things well, it is what you deserve, don't shirk."

Song Ren looked at Wang Richun with a smile, raised the teacup in his hand and drank it all, and said: "It's getting late, I should be living in the tea garden these days, so if there is anything to talk about tomorrow, Manager Wang should go back early to rest." ”

"Then the proprietor has a good rest, the little one lives in the backyard, if there is any need, just come to command, the little one will retire first."

Wang Richun saluted and took the contract on the table with his notes.

When Wang Richun walked away, Song Wu, who had been silent, pretended to be angry and said: "Xianggong, you too, Mr. Wang has taken care of this tea garden for many years, and there has never been a mistake, and you still have to beat him with a stick to give him a sweet date, it's really bad." ”

Song Ren smiled and took Song Wu's little hand and touched it back and forth, "I know that Wang Richun is a good person, otherwise I wouldn't give him such a high treatment, but this is the first time I have met him, I must be prestigious, and I must also make my bottom line clear, as the owner, it is necessary to be approachable, but the majesty that should be there must be, otherwise the team will not be easy to bring." ”

Song Wu didn't have the heart to listen to these words at this time, her hand was tickled by Song Ren's touch, and she naturally knew that this bad guy was restless again.

She quickly withdrew her hand, turned and ran back into the house.

When she entered the house, the little girl turned around and grimaced, "Xianggong, you can blow the wind outside, I'm going to lay the quilt to sleep." ”

Looking at Song Wu's cute appearance, Song Ren smiled and shook his head.

This lady in her own family is really different.

Today in the tea garden, Song Wu barely spoke, just stood beside Song Ren reservedly, doing her duty as the lady of the Song Mansion.

It can be seen that Song Wu trusts and supports herself.

Song Ren restrained his smile and his gaze slowly fell on the teapot.

The emergence of loose tea will inevitably affect the tea drinking habits of the people of the Ming Dynasty, which can be witnessed in later generations, but Song Ren knows that everything is difficult at the beginning, and he still needs to make some other preparations.

"There's a lot more to do."

Song Ren sighed slightly, turned around and walked towards the house.

He wished that he had always been such a small teacher, helping people fight lawsuits on weekdays, and playing with his wife when he had nothing to do.

But today's world is a bit dark, and the fame of a talent alone is far from being able to support him so comfortably.

In the middle of the night, the full moon hangs in the sky, decorating countless stars.

The lanterns hanging high in the Beishan tea garden are swaying, and it is so quiet that you can only hear the sound of frogs.

The trees on the distant hillside are sparsely scattered, and a group of people are hidden here.

Chai Xiaogui was patting his neck irritably at this time, this boy's thin skin and tender flesh are naturally mosquitoes.

Behind him, there were more than a dozen black-clothed people lurking, the leader was Chen Dingzhong of the Chai Family Nursing Hospital, and the rest were all green forest warriors invited by Chen Dingzhong for more than a thousand taels.

In fact, Chai Xiaogui gave him a full three thousand taels of silver, but Chen Dingzhong felt that it was enough for him to kill a sour Xiucai who was not in the stream.

It's just that the eldest young master of the Chai family has always been used to it, and if he doesn't cheat him for some money, he feels sorry for him.

After Chai Xiaogui learned that Song Ren and his wife had left the mansion and came to this tea garden, he led the group of people to wait here from the evening until late at night.

Chai Dagui was imprisoned, and the Chai family's industries were all shut down, and the culprit of all this was Song Ren!

Money, all the money lost is spent in vain, but this kid also married such a beautiful little lady, how can he not hate!

Chai Xiaogui originally wanted to wait for Song Ren to act when he traveled alone, but this opportunity was too difficult to grasp, and the Song Mansion didn't need to be subordinate at all, and he didn't even have an internal response.

He could only arrange for someone to squat to guard Song Ren, and finally let him wait for the opportunity.

Tonight's Beishan Tea Garden is an undefended empty courtyard, and there are some tea workers living in it.

As for Song Ren, to be honest, Chai Xiaogui didn't think about it at all.

A poor and sour literati, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is powerless.

So with such an analysis, Chai Xiaogui felt that Song Ren would die tonight!

However, just as he was about to tell Chen Huyuan to do it, he suddenly heard Chen Dingzhong say in a deep voice: "Young master, something is not right, there seem to be people in the forest in the south." ”
