Chapter 17 Thousands of people, condolences
Sanshi Village is covered in silver and snow is still falling.
Because I have to celebrate the New Year at my home in Sanshi Village every year, Zhang Hao comes back about ten days in advance.
Because Li Bai and Chongzhen had not had a holiday, they could only live in Chang'an City and wait for the court to come back before returning.
After returning to Sanshi Village, Zhang Hao, Bai Qi, Zhuge Liang and the three brothers went to Sanshi Village and workshops in several nearby villages to comfort the formal workers and their families.
Today, Zhang Hao has more than a dozen workshops of all sizes, making pens, ink, paper and inkstones, chalk, blackboards, printing books, glass making, etc.
But so far, there are nearly 400 formal workers in total, and in addition to the slack work in various villages, Zhang Hao has nearly 1,000 commonly used workers.
In addition to these workers engaged in production, there are also those responsible for transportation and handling, and those responsible for workshop safety.
Bai Qi is responsible for the people who are responsible for transportation and transportation, and the safety of the workshop is in charge, especially the people who are responsible for the safety of the workshop, but Bai Qi has specially trained, has good discipline and skills.
Near various workshops, houses are built for workers and their families to live and live.
It rained this winter, and some workshops have been stopped, such as papermaking workshops, chalk making workshops, etc., which cannot continue to produce due to low temperatures.
But the workers were not idle and were arranged to continue working in other workshops. They didn’t have money to work, so they were willing to work and stay at home was boring.
Zhang Hao, Zhuge Liang, and Bai Qi, brought some people with condolences to a living area of workers' families near a glass making workshop.
When they came outside a family, they saw an old man with two children sweeping the snow in the yard. They asked the people who followed him to go to each family to distribute condolences. The three of them secretly visited.
"Brother-in-law, disturb you."
Zhang Hao stepped forward to say hello.
The old man looked up and saw three gorgeously dressed young men and asked, "You are businessmen, are you here to do business with the Sun family?"
At the same time, the old man was wary of his son and wife, because he had instructed him to prevent strangers from stealing the production method of Sun's workshop.
Two children, who were in their teens, looked a man and a woman, had their hands and faces red, and they hid behind the old man curiously and timidly, and occasionally peeked at Zhang Hao and the other three.
"Brother-in-law, we are indeed businessmen. We want to do business with the Sun family, but we are not very relieved. Come and see the situation."
Zhang Hao smiled intimately.
The old man was unhappy and said with a bad look: "What's there to worry about? I think the Sun family should be worried about you. You should ask about things and find someone else. Old man, I don't know anything."
This is going to drive people away.
Zhang Hao smiled helplessly, but he didn't expect the old man to be so vigilant, but he was relieved, which shows that the workers and their families have good precautions and helps protect the technology of Sun Family Workshop.
At this time, Bai Qi walked over from behind and said, "Brother-in-law, do you still remember me?"
The old man looked at Bai Qi, was stunned, then suddenly realized and said in surprise: "Big Young Master, why are you here!"
Bai Qi is basically in the village and often goes to various workshops and family areas to check the situation. Although the elderly family has been here for less than two months, they have seen Bai Qi several times.
People call the Sun brothers the eldest son, the second son...
In a few years, I will call you the master.
At present, except Bai Qi, no one else got married and was young. Although they were already the leader, it is not appropriate to call him "master".
Bai Qi said, "Brother-in-law, you have done a good job and are alert, so continue to maintain it in the future. Let me introduce to you that they are my second and sixth brothers, and the sixth brother Sun Hao is your real boss."
Zhuge Liang occasionally came to the workshop to check the situation. The old man had never seen it before, but he had heard of the six brothers of the Sun family and knew that Zhuge Liang was a teacher.
"Ah! It's the second young master and the sixth young master!"
The old man was surprised and a little nervous, so he wanted to salute.
Zhang Hao stepped forward to stop him: "Don't need a lot of gifts, my father-in-law, we will give you some things, rice, meat, charcoal fire, quilts, etc., and learn about your situation and see if there are any problems that need to be solved."
As he said that, he took out a pack of candy from his long sleeves and handed it to his two children.
It is a clean rock candy. It is made by Zhang Hao himself. It is like wine and has a small output, so it is mainly used to give gifts.
The old man was moved by his condolences, and then he invited Zhang Hao and the others to sit in the house.
Afterwards, Zhang Hao asked some things, such as when their family came, how they are currently doing, whether there are any difficulties, etc.
The old man said: "Our family was originally a tenant. Because they offended the landlord, they had to come to Xianyang City to look for opportunities. They happened to encounter a workshop recruiting people in the city, so they came and try it."
As he said that, he burst into tears, "If we hadn't met our boss, our family would have starved to death on the streets. Thank you, your boss, you will be the saviors of our family."
The old man stood up and knelt down.
Zhuge Liang helped him, "Don't need to do this. You should be paid for your work for the Sun family."
Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Our Sun family wants to thank you. If you hadn't worked hard, you wouldn't have made those commodities."
The old man shook his head repeatedly, not daring to behave.
After coming to the Sun Family Workshop, my son and daughter-in-law both had jobs. Not only did they have a good salary, but they also lived in a house. They would not be hungry or cold anymore. They even had condolences during festivals. Such treatments are hard to come by. They met them, of course they cherished and were grateful.
After leaving the old man's house, Zhang Hao and his friends went to several more houses, and then went to other workshop family areas to check the situation.
"The child's father, why don't you go to work as a formal worker in the Sun family next year? You see, they have a new house to live in, and there are so many things to get during the holidays."
Many people in the village envy it, but they are just envious, because they explained the treatment of formal workers in advance and gave them a chance, but they basically couldn't bear to leave their own world.
"I'm leaving. Can I grow the land at home during the busy farming period?"
My husband was worried, but in fact he was also moved by formal work.
My wife made up her mind and said, "What are the workmanships you get from farming? I, three children, and my parents, can plant as many kinds of food as you can, just plant those better lands.
Think about it, even if you are alone, you can support most of the family. What's more, you may get a house in the future, and your children don't need money to study, and you will have subsidies when you get sick..."
Yes, the benefits are so good!
The newly built school in Sun Family Workshop will allow children from formal workers to study for free next year.
Workers who perform well and work for a long time can get a house.
If you weren't worried that this kind of workshop would not last long, many people would choose to become formal workers.
Although I am envious, these families with land are at most like this family, making one or two laborers in the family become formal workers, and try to plant land and earn money as much as possible.
Such a result is a good thing for the Sun family and can solve the problem of some labor.
However, Zhang Hao was preparing to open workshops in other places at the beginning of the year, and he still needed a lot of labor.
Chapter completed!
