Traveling through ancient times.

Jiang Yizhou said, "We will produce a batch first, and then we will show it to everyone when we harvest wheat. We will promote the thresher, and then we will build a carpentry workshop. You will be the manager of the workshop. You can hire people to help, but they must not disclose anything in the manor without my permission."

Zhang Ni understood immediately, "Manager? Can I be a manager too?"

"Don't worry, young lady. I will never tell anyone. When will you build the workshop?"

Seeing that Sisters Yunxin and Yucui were now basically able to take charge of things on their own, she also became eager to try and imagined what it would feel like to be the boss of a workshop.

Jiang Yizhou said: "It's probably too late to build a new one now, so let's just use the side yard for now. The house and material shed are already there, so we just need to tidy it up a bit."

Zhang Ni knew that the side yard next door was where cattle and horses were raised, and could also be used for living.

On the same day, Jiang Yizhou asked Yunxin to find someone to clean up the side yard.

As for the cattle and horse pens, now that spring has begun and the weather has turned warmer, we can build two sheds for temporary accommodation in one day.

After the funds are recovered, Jiang Yizhou will also carry out major civil engineering works.

There was originally a row of houses for people to live in the side yard, which only needed a little sprucing up; the hay was moved out of the hay shed; the cowshed and horse stable had a layer of soil shoveled away and covered with stone slabs left over from building the houses, which served as a place for unloading materials and rough processing.

Three days later, Jiang's Woodworking Workshop was officially opened.

As the chief manager of the carpentry workshop, Zhang Ni has the power to make independent decisions on hiring carpenters.

The requirements are to be a skilled worker, with fifteen cents per day and two meals included.

The condition is that the workshop’s affairs must not be disclosed to anyone.

Zhang Ni didn't trust the others, so she invited her brother Zhang Baosheng and cousin Zhang Danniu to come.

Zhang Da Nv and Zhang Ni are somewhat similar, both of them have dark skin and are relatively sturdy.

Zhang Da Niu is now seventeen years old and her parents have been urging her to get married.

She was not willing to do that at all. She wanted to be a carpenter just like Zhang Ni. She wanted to do her own work and earn her own money. She didn't want to work like a slave for others without even having a name.

Originally, she had no way of escaping this year, but she didn't expect that her little cousin would actually find a job with Miss Jiang and was doing very well.

So, when her parents forced her to get married, she had an excuse: My cousin was able to make a career, and my uncle's family depended on her. I want to be like her.

Coincidentally, the first person Zhang Ni thought of was her cousin who was just as “restless” as her.

Although it is only a temporary employment relationship, a contract needs to be signed.

Zhang Danniu looked at Jiang Yizhou hopefully, "Miss Jiang, if I can do well, can I... follow you all the time?"

Jiang Yizhou was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Follow me all the time? But do you have to sign a contract to sell yourself? Do you want to be a slave?"

Zhang Daniu said, "If I were to be someone else's slave, I certainly wouldn't want to, but if I follow you, you will allow us to do something like those men and have our own value, so I'm willing to do it."

Jiang Yizhou heard that Zhang Daniu's conversation was better than that of ordinary people, so he asked, "Have you ever been educated?"

Zhang Da Nv shook her head somewhat sadly: "My younger brother studied in a private school for a few years, and I learned a little from him. My parents originally wanted my younger brother to study for a few more years, so that he could pass the examination and become a scholar. But later on, the family couldn't afford it anymore, so he didn't go..."

So that's how it is. Just because her younger brother was studying, she learned a little bit from him, which is why she has such good conversation and vision. Jiang Yizhou thinks this girl is very good.

If his character is decent, then...

It's just right, I'll hire him for a while and see how it goes. If it's okay, I'll take him over. Anyway, this woodworking workshop is officially established and there will be a lot of things to do in the future.

She didn't want to find someone outside to do it and then make up an excuse every time she exchanged something from the system.

It is a bit difficult for Zhang Ni to support the whole thing alone. Both sisters are good at carpentry and have a good relationship. It would be good for them to take care of each other.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yizhou said, "To be honest, we have set up a woodworking workshop here. There will definitely be more and more things to do in the future, and we need someone who can handle it. If you have performed well during this period, I can consider it. But I still say that if you want to stay by my side, you must sign a contract to sell yourself."

Even if she didn't need to rely on indentures to bind people to herself in the future and then set them free, it certainly wouldn't work now.

Zhang Danniu agreed repeatedly, saying that she would do her job well and follow the young lady's instructions.

So the three young men rolled up their sleeves and got to work.

Zhang Da Niu is very opinionated. After reading the blueprint, she learned that the lady wanted to mass produce it, so she decided that the three of them would each be responsible for a part, which would improve their proficiency and save a lot of unnecessary steps. Then they would assemble it at the end.

Jiang Yizhou still had more than fifty taels of silver in his pocket, and he spent thirty taels to buy wood.

There are twenty taels left, and with the vegetables and fruits I sell every now and then, it should be enough to last until the wheat harvest.

...More than a month later, Jiang Yizhou saw that the wheat had all turned yellow, and the wheat ears were at least as long as a bunch and heavy, so her heart was completely at ease.

The wheat in other fields is still green and will take at least half a month to mature.

In other words, the wheat she exchanged from the system not only had more grains, but also matured faster, giving her just enough time to harvest it.

She immediately had someone spread the news that the Jiang family would hire people to harvest wheat tomorrow, and the remuneration would remain the same as before: ten cents a day, including two meals.

So all the people in Yunshan became excited.

Not only because they have jobs to do and money to earn, but also because they care about the Jiang family's wheat more than their own.

After all, Miss Jiang said that the wheat seed has a high yield, one acre is equivalent to seven or eight acres.

So when Jiang Yizhou walked around the field every day, they all watched him. They had long seen that the golden wheat looked like a string of gold.

They counted them and found that each ear had nearly a hundred grains, and they were full and a circle larger than the ones they planted. In a good year, their barley would only have a dozen or twenty grains per ear.

So, what Miss Jiang said about the high yield of this wheat is true.

They still remembered what Miss Jiang had said: anyone who had worked for Yunshan Farm could buy wheat seeds first.

So, when Yunxin just released the news of hiring workers, someone rushed over that evening to take up a job spot.

Yunxin can now barely write, and she carefully records the names of these people in her employment booklet.

It not only records the workers hired since last fall, but also includes their attendance days, work status, wages paid, etc.

Jiang Yizhou only mentioned these at the beginning, and the rest were done by Yunxin herself, which shows how attentive she was.

For these farmers, seeing Yunxin solemnly write their names gave them an indescribable feeling of peace of mind and greater confidence.
