The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business
Chapter 54: Setting the Rules
When everyone heard this, they all responded and wanted to do it together.
There was no reason to disagree. I saw that the work had been arranged and I didn't need to worry about it. I just followed the work. In the winter of previous years, there was no work to be done. There was no place to find work. I just stayed at home.
The weather is getting colder and colder. If I can earn some money, my family will have a better time this winter.
Zhou Lizheng raised his hand to silence everyone and said, "There are some things I need to say in advance. The kang is the craftsmanship of the Su family. The idea was proposed by Anton. Even the order for the kang was taken by the Su family. The Su family can just hire you to work and pay you on a daily basis. Why bother to take all this effort and bring everyone along to do it together?"
After hearing this, no one spoke. Someone who understood the situation said, "Li Zheng, we understand what you said. Just tell us what you mean. We will listen to you."
"What I mean is that the Su family should be given 20% of the profit from the kang business, and the rest should be divided according to the work. If you are willing, you can work with the Su family. If you are not willing, then forget it. Moreover, in the kang business, you must follow the arrangements and cannot make changes privately. We have to set the rules."
Su An Dong did not expect that Zhou Lizheng would do this. Zhou Lizheng did not discuss it with him in advance, probably because he was afraid that he would not agree.
Su An Dong really didn't disagree after hearing this. He realized that they had thought things were simple and taken things for granted before, and overlooked some things. They had never thought about making any profit from the kang before, although he still didn't want to make any profit from it now. But he understood the principle of gratitude for a little rice and hatred for a big rice.
The villagers should be made aware that what the Su family did was not their due. If the villagers develop this habit, they will probably take everything the Su family does for granted. They will take it for granted that the Su family should help them, and if they don't help them one day, they will probably be resented.
After hearing what Zhou Lizheng said, the honest people had no objection and felt that it was reasonable to give the Su family more money. Even if the Su family got more, it was what they should get, because they had started the business. Without the Su family, where would they make money?
The thoughtful people didn't think so. They thought they could just go out and work on their own. Whatever money they made was theirs. They didn't have to get involved with the Su family. They had already learned the basic skills of making kangs. It didn't matter if they didn't understand something. They could learn it later. But they didn't want to be the first to speak out and say something against it.
Zhou Lizheng saw the reactions of the people present and guessed their thoughts. Zhou Lizheng and Su Andong looked at each other knowingly. They had discussed before that this matter should be voluntary.
Zhou Lizheng was not surprised by their reaction at all. In fact, it was all within his expectations. He had a rough idea of the character of each family in the village.
Zhou Lizheng looked at the people with different thoughts and said, "Those who agree can stay and discuss the next things. If you don't agree, just leave. We will never force you. If you don't want to do it, just don't follow us. It's no big deal. This business is based on everyone's voluntary participation. Don't worry about anything. If you want to leave, leave."
After Zhou Lizheng said this, after a while, someone took the lead and stood up to say goodbye. Someone took the lead, and then those who wanted to leave left. Zhou Lizheng did not look unhappy, and even called his son to see him off.
Those who don't want to do it have left, and the only ones left are those who want to do it together.
Zhou Lizheng confirmed again: "Anyone else wants to leave! If you want to leave, leave quickly. From now on, we have set the rules. No one is allowed to leave even if they want to!"
The people who stayed behind looked at each other and said, "Li Zheng, please tell me! No one wants to leave."
Seeing that everyone was determined, Zhou Lizheng began to talk about some details that he had discussed with Su An Dong before, and set rules with everyone. The rules stipulated that everyone must obey the arrangements, not act on their own, and not change the agreed things without authorization. The prices of various sizes of kangs were agreed upon, and the number of strong laborers from each family to go out to work was determined.
He sent for the strong men who were going to work, and divided them into groups of six. Each group had a leader, and also decided where each group would go.
After deciding on the details, Su An Dong said, "Giving us 20% profit is a bit too much, 10% will be enough. We do this in the hope that everyone can earn some money to make this winter easier."
When everyone heard this, they felt that it was inappropriate and raised objections.
Su Anton insisted: "It's settled. I might lead you all to work in the future, and I'm afraid I'll pay you wages then." Su Anton gave a shot of prevention in advance.
Seeing that Su Anton insisted, everyone stopped talking. Instead, they all smiled naively. They thought that having work to do and making money was good. Those who could stay were all people with good character in the village.
The next day, the team that was building the kang left. Except for Su An Dong, all the brothers of the Su family followed, and they were all team leaders, each leading a group of people.
Su Anton did not go out to make the kang because there were other things waiting for him at home.
It's time to sell the various cloaks, decorations, earmuffs, gloves, etc. made of rabbit fur at home.
Old Mrs. Su decided to keep one for each female member of the family, and also wanted to keep a solid-colored one for each of her granddaughters and two daughters.
Zhao Yun was reluctant to part with it and refused, "Mom, I don't want my one anymore. Let's keep it and sell it for money! With the money, we can buy cotton to make clothes that will keep us just as warm."
Old Madam Su knew that her eldest daughter-in-law was distressed, but she couldn't help but roll her eyes at her and said, "Sometimes, you have to learn how to enjoy yourself. Besides, you contributed the most to these clothes."
It was indeed as Mrs. Su said, Zhao Yun was the best at sewing. Su Yuanyuan didn't trust anyone else for anything nice, and always let her aunt do it, so Zhao Yun contributed the most to these clothes. But in return, Mrs. Su also reduced Zhao Yun's housework and removed her from the cooking rotation.
When Zhao Yun saw Old Lady Su's attitude, she stopped objecting. She knew that her mother-in-law was doing her a favor, so how could she not know what was good for her?
Su Yuanyuan raised an objection: "Grandma, I am just a little girl, why should I wear solid colors? I don't want solid colors. We still have leather at home. I can ask my aunt to make me another one according to my idea."
As soon as Su Yuanyuan finished speaking, Su Guoguo and Su Miaomiao quickly agreed. They didn't want a solid color either. Even if Su Yuanyuan didn't say it, they would have said it. What kind of conditions! It's already a luxury to have one, how can you want a solid color.
Old Mrs. Su wanted to leave a pure white one for her granddaughter! As soon as she heard it, she disagreed and said, "No."
