As Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao expected, the people in Zhenjiang Prefecture are all good farmers. Even if they know the craft, they only know a little bit about it. But everyone knows that Shen Yanqing is here to recruit workers. Even if they know little about it, they will actively sign up. As long as they can Just make a contribution to Zhenjiang Government.
"Sir, I have learned carpentry and can make simple tables, chairs and benches."
"Sir, I know how to forge. You can see that the muscles in my body are all made by forging iron!"
"Sir, I can weave..."
"Sir, I can weave, and I'm pretty good at weaving some baskets..."
"Sir, I know how to keep accounts. I used to work as a bookkeeper at the dock."
Everyone actively reported what they knew, not to mention, it was really a big gain when put together.
"Look, sir, if what these people say is true, then all the shops in our city will be able to open."
According to Liang Duo's records, this basically covers all categories, and there is no problem in maintaining the operation of the store.
"Well," Shen Yanqing took a cursory look.
"The specific details still need to be tested, and the best ones will be admitted."
"Okay, I'll let them make some finished products and see whoever does it best will stay."
Anyway, there were ready-made materials in the shop. Liang Duo asked the people who signed up to compete in their own categories, and the rest stayed to watch the fun. Although they didn't know how to do it, they could see who did well, so it was good to stay as referees. .
"Dad, please do a good job. You made our tables and stools. They are strong and durable. Your craftsmanship must be better than his!"
A brave woman suddenly shouted, and the man who was called became energetic when he heard his wife's cheering. He planed wood much faster, and the wife of the man opposite was not to be outdone.
"My husband, you are better than him. He can only make tables and stools, but you can also make beds!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Now not only are the two men competing, but their wives are also competing. You and I cheer each man on, and because of the two men's lead, cheers can be heard in other shops. For a while, the whole Zhenjiang Mansion was full of joy and laughter, and it was very lively.
Jiang Miao was also made to laugh. These people were so funny. Shen Yanqing also had a smile in his eyes. Zhenjiang Mansion, which was depressed and tense, finally had joy again. Looking at the happy smiles on the people's faces, Shen Yanqing only felt satisfied.
He has lived up to the hopes of these people and will let them live a good life in the future.
Finally, twenty people were selected, two in each shop, one responsible for working, and one responsible for helping and collecting money. Those hired by the government need to sign a contract, and then they will be paid two taels of silver per month, regardless of whether the items are sold or not. Go, the government will pay this money every month.
Those who were selected were very happy. Two taels of silver was enough for their family to live for half a year. They had been poor people who could not afford to buy a shop all their lives, but now they had the opportunity to make money with their crafts. No one was happy.
Everyone onlookers felt a little sad. Why were they not so lucky? If they had known better, they would have learned a skill before.
"Sir, they all have their jobs, what about us?"
"Yes, sir, we also want to make money!"
Most of the people here have empty pockets and are very poor. Now everyone is so poor that they can't see anything. When the shops open, they won't even have money to buy things, and they will definitely feel unbalanced by then.
"Don't worry yet, listen to me."
Shen Yanqing asked everyone to quiet down. He glanced at Jiang Miao. Jiang Miao understood and took a step forward.
"My lord and I will also open other shops. We are in urgent need of manpower now. However, because the things I want to sell are relatively precious, some recipes cannot be taught to others casually, so I need to sign a selling contract. If I sell the recipes to others, I Will put him in jail."
Jiang Miao first laid out the stakes. After all, not everyone is willing to sign a contract of sale. In the eyes of ancient people, this was no different from selling oneself into slavery. Although Jiang Miao did not intend to enslave them, it was just equivalent to a confidentiality agreement in a modern contract. But if she doesn't say it more seriously, she's afraid that others won't know the seriousness of the matter.
As expected, many people flinched when they heard that they had to sign a deed of sale.
"Madam, why don't we sign the deed of sale? We promise not to leak the recipe."
How could they do such stupid things? Master Shen and Mrs. Shen gave them the chance to live. If they were not satisfied, they would be really cruel.
Jiang Miao saw everyone's reactions in her eyes. She knew that what these people said now were sincere, but people's hearts would change, especially fragrance beads and cosmetics were hugely profitable industries. She didn't believe that there would be people who would not be tempted to help in the future. There is a big difference between doing it by yourself, one is a dead salary, the other is incredible wealth. Jiang Miao is preparing to build Zhenjiang Prefecture with these money. She does not allow anyone to harm the interests of other people in Zhenjiang Prefecture, so she beats everyone in advance.
After typing, Jiang Miao started talking about salary.
"It's okay not to sign a contract of sale, but what you can do is only some relatively marginal work, and you won't be exposed to the core prescriptions. Of course, the corresponding wages will be very small."
A group of people were originally very happy to hear that they did not have to sign a deed of sale, but they hesitated when they heard that the money was small.
"Madam, what's the difference between the two wages?"
"An ordinary worker earns 300 taels per month, and others range from 2 to 50 taels per month."
"so much?"
Everyone was shocked. The tallest one actually had five taels of silver. What kind of work was this? Moreover, according to the lady’s intention, it was not just one or two people, but many people. Then this shop would make more money.
None of them had ever saved so much money, and now they had the opportunity to earn it in a month. Everyone who was still worried about the selling contract just now was completely moved.
"Madam, I am willing to do it!"
Isn't it just a contract to sell one's body? It's nothing compared to money.
"Madam, I am willing too!"
Where there is the first, there will be the second, and because more and more people are signing up, the people behind are afraid that they will not be able to grab a spot, so they are even more excited to sign up.
Jiang Miao was so noisy that her ears hurt, so she quickly made a gesture to calm them down.
"Don't worry, there are opportunities. Your Excellency and I are not just opening this shop. There are many places that need manpower later, and it is not possible to succeed by signing up. This requires talent and other conditions. What I want to do is spices." In the food and beverage business, personal hygiene is the most important thing. These all need to be carefully selected. We are temporarily recruiting one hundred people, fifty for men and fifty for women..."
