Then, she asked Zhao Shanshan to lead everyone to see the process of making spicy cabbage.
Zhao Shanshan was the one who explained it to them.
When Third Master Zhou saw Zhao Shanshan’s behavior, the thoughts he had about her disappeared very quickly.
He thought to himself that Zhao Fu’s daughter was quite capable.
Zhao Shanshan did not know that Lin Xiaoyue’s mentorship had changed Third Master Zhou’s view of her as a plaything.
That was the charm of a career woman.
After watching the process of making spicy cabbage in the front yard, Lin Xiaoyue gestured for Zhao Shanshan to lead the way. She brought everyone to the back of the Liu residence to visit the workshop.
Zhao Shanshan did not know the layout of the workshop, so Lin Xiaoyue took over.
“I plan to use this large piece of land to build a workshop.”
‘Til divide it into three areas. One for making spicy cabbage, one for making chili paste, and the last for making bean paste.”
“Soon, the roads here will also be repaired to ensure that the carriages and horses can pass smoothly and it will be easier to transport goods in and out.”
Liang Yu’s gaze followed Lin Xiaoyue’s gestures as he imagined Lin Xiaoyue’s vision.
He nodded as he listened.
“As for the workers, are you still planning to get them from Daishi Village?” He suddenly asked.
When the village chief heard this, he quickly looked at Lin Xiaoyue nervously.
He didn’t expect her to plan for such a big workshop.
She would need a lot of workers.
If she was going to hire the villagers, it would be great!
“Yes, I am. That is the plan. There are more than a hundred families in Daishi Village, and the entire village has a total of more than seven hundred people. Excluding the elderly and children, we have almost 500 capable workers.”
“If the three areas in my workshop open at the same time, it will require at least sixty people. There should be enough people in the village.”
When the village chief heard Lin Xiaoyue’s words, he felt relieved.
At the same time, he was excited.
He knew that almost all the people Lin Xiaoyue hired were women.
The women in the village usually took care of the family and could not earn much money.
However, if they could work at Yue’er’s workshop, they could earn a lot for the family.
In addition, with Yue’er’s workshop, it would be easier for the young men in the village to get a wife in the future.
Who said that women could only farm and look after their children at home?
Who didn’t want to earn some money herself?
When Liang Yu heard Lin Xiaoyue’s words, a smile flashed across his eyes.
“The cost of buying sixty to seventy slaves to work is actually not that high.”
He wasn’t worried that there weren’t enough people working in Daishi Village, but he didn’t want the workers to leak information.
As Liang Yu spoke, he looked at Third Master Zhou.
The slave trader was right in front of them.
Third Master Zhou pretended to be in deep thought and did not immediately express his opinion.
Sixty to seventy slaves was not very difficult to get. However, he had to spend some effort to choose the right ones. Also, he had to train and manage them.
Seeing this situation, the village chief’s expression changed.
“Yue…Ms. Lin,” He quickly called out to Lin Xiaoyue.
He didn’t want Yue’er to get slaves.
If she did, what would the villagers of Daishi Village do?
Lin Xiaoyue gave the village chief a smile, reassuring him.
Then, she looked at Liang Yu.
“Young Master Liang, are you worried that the workers will leak information from the workshop?” Lin Xiaoyue asked Liang Yu with a smile.
Liang Yu smiled and nodded.
The Village Chief’s expression changed.
“I can tell everyone to do their job properly and not leak the information!” He quickly said to Lin Xiaoyue.
Liang Yu laughed.
“A promise is far less reliable than a contract. Even if the punishment was written in the contract, it is inevitable that some people might still have other thoughts, let alone a verbal promise.”
The village chief’s face turned red. He wanted to refute, but he could not say anything.
What Liang Yu said was indeed possible.
“When recruiting, the punishment will naturally be written into the contract.
In addition, apart from hiring workers, 1 will also hire guards.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and looked at Liang Yu.
“Every day, when workers enter the workshop, they need to be inspected to prevent them from taking the things out.”
“In addition, the core production work in the workshop can only be done by the slaves. 1 have already considered all this..”
