Zhong Feng saw the situation in the yard and waved his arms and said: "Li Zhi is so impressive. He is now a big business man! How many people does he have under his command?"
Aunt Lan glared at her son and said: "Now he has at least fifty people under his command. You see how promising Li Zhi is, what do you look like? You played big with him, why didn't you get some?
Fairy spirit?"
Zhong Feng said with a sneer: "That immortal energy is not something ordinary people can get."
Aunt Lan glared at her son again and asked, "You and he have been playing together since childhood. Will he use you?"
"When Xiao Guangwei bullied Brother Zhi when he was young, I even helped him beat up Xiao Guangwei. Although Brother Zhi used to be stupid and stupid, he is a nostalgic person and will definitely remember me."
"Why are you stupid and stupid? You are still talking nonsense! Brother Zhi is very smart now, much smarter than you. If you talk nonsense about him being stupid, if he hears it, he will kick us out!" After a pause, Aunt Lan scolded again.
: "Look at you, you are nineteen years old and haven't found a place to do anything. You stay at home all day long and you only know how to dance with guns and sticks. What's the use of being able to fight? Can you beat the Tatars? You stay in our house
How can I start a family in the future if I can't even make food in the shop? I heard people say that Li Zhi gave his helpers two taels of silver a month and three meals a day, including meat! He was really the best employer.
With such a job, you won't have to worry about getting married and having children. If you can be used by Li Zhi, your life will be easier in the future."
"What mother said is..." Zhong Feng said perfunctorily to his mother, suddenly patted his head, and said: "But mother, look, there are so many relatives in the Li family. If Brother Zhi is full of people, I'm afraid it will be a disaster."
Don’t want me anymore.”
Aunt Lan was a little nervous when she heard this. She glared at Zhong Feng and pulled him into the Li family yard. He knew the queuing rules invented by Li Zhi and knew that it was first come, first served, so he took Zhong Feng and stood in front of Li Zhi.
Behind Li Zhi's relatives. The two waited for a full hour and a half, waiting for Li Zhi to ask all the relatives, and then stood in front of Li Zhi.
Li Zhi had already seen Aunt Lan behind the crowd and greeted with a smile: "Aunt Lan, you are here with Zhong Feng!"
Seeing Li Zhi take the initiative to greet her, Aunt Lan replied happily: "Li Zhi, I heard that your family is recruiting people! My Zhong Feng has never been able to find anything to do. He has played with you since he was a child, so you use him."
Bar."
Zhong Feng followed his mother with a smile and gave Li Zhi a long bow: "Hello, Brother Zhi!"
Li Zhi looked at Zhong Feng and searched his memories in his mind. Knowing that he had been close to him since childhood and had taught Xiao Guangwei a lesson for him, he smiled and said: "Zhong Feng, are you willing to come and work in my workshop?"
?”
Zhong Feng raised his head and said: "One hundred yes."
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Then come on! Count you in!"
When Zhong Feng heard this, he was overjoyed and had a smile on his face. He bowed his hands to the ground again and said loudly: "Thank you so much, Brother Zhi. I will do things honestly and be worthy of Brother Zhi's monthly money."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "In three days, you will come to my house at noon in the morning and I will take you to the workshop!"
Zhong Feng nodded and said: "Okay!"
Seeing that Li Zhi stopped talking, Aunt Lan quickly pulled Zhong Feng away: "Brother Zhi, please continue recruiting people, and we won't disturb you anymore."
"Walk slowly!"
On the way back, Aunt Lan and Zhong Feng were as happy as if they had won a prize.
"Now that's good, you can make a living by working at Brother Zhi's house, and you can save two taels of silver every month. In one or two years, you will have enough money to get married!" As she said that, Aunt Lan said
She shed tears: "Your father died early, and I was worried that I would never be able to make money for you to start a family. I didn't expect that our family could turn around thanks to Li Zhi! Fortunately, you played with Li Zhi when you were a child, and the chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, otherwise
When will these poor days end?"
"Mom, why are you crying? You're on the road. This is a happy thing."
Aunt Lan walked in front and said with tears: "Zhong Feng! Mom has worked so hard to drag you down. Now you have such a good job and can earn two taels of silver a month. Do you want to be more filial and give me flowers?
"
Zhong Feng smiled and said: "Mom! I will give you one tael every month to honor you!"
When Aunt Lan heard her son's words, she broke down in tears and smiled, saying: "One tael is too much, one dollar is enough. Mom bought a few kilograms of meat to eat and taste the fishy taste."
After Li Zhi recruited the manpower, he began to organize the workers to start work. As before, he divided the entire soap production into six processes, assigned a certain number of people to operate each process, and ran it in a closed room. This allocation made it easier for individual workers to
Understanding the entire production process ensures the secret of the soap formula and eliminates the possibility of leakage of the formula.
At the same time, Li Zhi also strictly prohibited the helpers and others from discussing the processes they were responsible for.
Li Zhi also promoted relatives who performed well this month to be supervisors, responsible for managing a certain process. For example, Li Laosi, Li Zhi promoted him to be the supervisor to manage the process of dividing soap, and his monthly salary was raised to three taels.
For example, Li Zhi's uncle Zheng Yuan was promoted by Li Zhi to be the supervisor in charge of the saponification reaction, with a monthly salary of four taels.
As the general manager of the entire factory, Li Zhi's younger brother Li Xing has eight taels of pocket money every month. Although Li Zhi and Li Xing have not separated, according to Ming Dynasty practice, Li Zhi does not need to give Li Xing money. But Li Zhi
After all, he is a modern person and is not used to the concept of shared property among large families in the Ming Dynasty. Li Zhi believed that giving Li Xing a salary would increase his enthusiasm, so he finally gave him a salary.
Li Xing manages the factory and has a very high status in the family. Now he still has eight taels of pocket money a month. He is very excited and is very attentive in his supervision and management work.
Not to mention Li Xing's eight taels of silver, let's just talk about the supervisor's remuneration: three or four taels a month, which is an enviable high salary these days. It is enough to support a family, not to mention that Li Zhi also provides a rich day.
Three meals a day. Not only the relatives who were promoted were overjoyed, but the relatives who were not promoted were also holding back their energy, secretly saying that they should perform well and strive to become the supervisor when Li Zhi expands his business next time.
After the arrangements were made, Li Zhi's expanded soap factory was in full swing.
The soap factory was on the right track, and Li Zhi no longer needed to spend too much energy on management. Li Zhi began to manufacture textile machinery that was not available in this era.
It is now the seventh year of Chongzhen. Soon, Emperor Chongzhen will be hanged from a crooked neck tree, and the Jurchens will go south to establish the Qing Dynasty. Li Zhi does not want to lose the Han people's country by shaving their hair and becoming slaves. Li Zhi wants to use technology to change
This era changed the history of this era so that the Han people would no longer endure the humiliating Manchu rule.
All plans must be made quickly.
Li Zhi is going to invent a series of textile machinery and build a textile factory to expand his business. The first step is to make a flying shuttle loom. The flying shuttle loom has a simple structure, but it can improve weaving efficiency several times.
Efficiency is of course Li Zhi's first choice for developing the textile industry.
