Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

Seeing everyone looking at him expectantly, Ye Changyan picked up the tea and took a sip.

The old lady asked the maid Ping'er to refill Ye Changyan's cup, and then she heard Ye Changyan say.

"There are many departments in this processing workshop, and there are also many positions involved. Boss Zhong hired some of the important positions from the county town and Yuzhou Prefecture. He knew that the two uncles were literate, so he arranged for the eldest uncle to work in the materials department, first as the leader of the materials group, to see how he could adapt."

When everyone heard this, they didn't know much about the materials department, but when they heard that the team leader was an official, they got excited for a moment.

"Sanlang, what does the Materials Department do? What does this team leader do?"

Ye Xiaowen, unable to hide his excitement, asked Ye Changyan.

"Uncle, the Materials Department is responsible for managing raw materials, production tools, and finished products. The Materials Group 1 is mainly responsible for managing raw materials. The team leader is responsible for arranging personnel to distribute raw materials and keeping relevant records. He also takes team members to take inventory of inventory regularly. Raw materials that are below the warning inventory must be reported to the purchasing department in a timely manner. These are all things that the Materials Group leader is responsible for."

When everyone heard this, they felt that this position required managing both people and things, as well as communicating and coordinating with other departments. This sounded quite powerful. Ye Xiaowu and Xu both nodded in satisfaction.

"Sanlang, what does Boss Zhong assign me to do?"

When Ye Xiaowu heard that his elder brother had got a very powerful position, he felt anxious like a cat scratching its head. As soon as Ye Changyan finished speaking, he hurriedly asked.

"Boss Zhong arranged for Uncle Er to work in the logistics department, first as the leader of the loading and unloading team, to see how he adapts."

When Ye Xiaowu heard that he was also a team leader, he was very excited and listened to what Ye Changyan continued to say.

"The logistics department is responsible for transporting raw materials and production tools to the processing workshop, and then transporting the finished products from the processing workshop to the designated location. Considering that transportation here is inevitably exposed to wind and sun, we specially arranged for Second Uncle to be in the loading and unloading group where he is not exposed to wind and sun."

When everyone heard this, they all nodded. Ye Xiaowu felt very happy to hear that he was taken care of and given a job that was not exposed to the wind and sun.

"Second uncle is usually responsible for arranging helpers to load and unload things, counting the number of items being moved, and keeping relevant records. Of course, he also has to reasonably arrange the labor intensity of the workers, etc. These are all things that the leader of the loading and unloading team is responsible for."

After hearing Ye Changyan's introduction, everyone nodded, and Ye Xiaowu and Liu were also very satisfied.

Then the three cousins cast scorching glances at Ye Changyan.

"My cousins, you all know how to read and write. Boss Zhong is going to focus on training you. He plans to have you go to the production department, which has four workshops: cleaning, fermentation, boiling, and packaging. You will spend a month in each workshop to get familiar with them. After you are familiar with each workshop, he will train you as technical backbones based on your adaptability."

After Ye Changyan finished speaking, everyone was a little confused, and the three cousins looked at Ye Changyan suspiciously.

"Sanlang, this workshop is too complicated. You can assign a team leader to us."

After hearing what Ye Changyan said, Erlang realized that he had to work for four months before he could be trained, while his father and uncle went straight to become team leaders. This made him feel disappointed for a moment.

Ye Changyan smiled secretly in his heart. This Erlang was most like his second uncle, who was afraid of heavy tasks and had the look of a reckless young man. If he were to become a team leader, regardless of his ability, just the fact that he could convince the people would make him be pulled down from the position within two days.

"Brother, these technical backbones are not ordinary workers. They are mainly responsible for guiding ordinary workers on how to produce, and they are specialized talents who discover and solve problems during the production process. I estimate that the number of workers in this production department will gradually expand from dozens to hundreds, and there will be only a few technical backbones among them."

Seeing that Dalang and Silang were listening carefully, but Erlang was a little disapproving, Ye Changyan continued to speak.

"The technical backbone is the main force of the processing workshop. The salary is much higher than that of ordinary workers. When you become a technical backbone, you will be one of the highest paid people in the entire processing workshop."

Dalang and Silang were both very excited. Although Erlang was also somewhat tempted, he still felt that it would take four months to be trained as a technical backbone, which was too long to wait.

After listening to Ye Changyan's explanation, everyone nodded in satisfaction, especially Ye Xiaowu and Liu, who were delighted to hear that their two sons would be trained to become technical backbones and would then be the highest paid people in the entire processing workshop. At that time, it was hard to say what kind of daughter-in-law they would have, and they might not even look up to someone like the eldest lady of the Feng family.

After some more pleasantries at the old house, Ye Changyan said goodbye.

When the old lady and everyone in the old house learned that Ye Changyan was going to visit his teacher, they did not try to try to keep him.

After Ye Changyan came out of the old house, he went to the county town, got the reserved lamb legs at the mutton shop, and went to Chu Garden. He stewed a delicious pot of mutton soup for Mr. Cai and made some dumplings for him.

Liang Jingcheng naturally followed his teacher and enjoyed a feast.

Ye Changyan told Mr. Cai about his recent plans, and invited Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng to be guests of honor at the processing workshop on the second day of the twelfth lunar month. Mr. Cai readily agreed.

It was almost dark when Ye Changyan came out of Chu Garden. Mr. Cai asked the coachman Lao Lin to take Ye Changyan back.

In the following days, Ye Changyan gradually became busy.

He first went to the headman's house to find Aunt Zhang and check the registration situation. After looking through the list, he did not expect the villagers to be so enthusiastic. The number of people who had registered had exceeded one hundred.

He selected three people to go to the cattle farm to help Veterinarian Sun take care of the bulls and assist Veterinarian Sun in caring for the cows before and after delivery.

One of them had saved Ye Changyan's life. He was Zhang Ergou from the village. It was Zhang Ergou and his wife who used a ox cart to send Ye Changyan, who was knocked unconscious by bandits, back to Shanglin Village.

Both Zhang Ergou and his wife signed up. Ye Changyan knew that Zhang Ergou was an honest and decent man, so he arranged him to work at the cattle farm, with a fixed wage of 30 cents a day. In addition, after the yard for Veterinarian Sun was built, his wife and children would move in. At that time, he would also be given three helpers and provided with two meals a day.

Zhang Ergou and the other two people who were chosen thanked Ye Changyan repeatedly.

Ye Changyan worked with Aunt Zhang to roughly determine the helpers needed in the processing workshop.

A total of 35 female helpers and 15 male helpers were recruited in the first batch a few years ago. Generally, only one person from a family was selected, so that they could ensure that their family work would not be delayed and they could still earn money in the processing workshop.

After the beginning of the year, when the cattle dealers bring in more cattle, they will expand the scale of production based on the milk output and recruit more helpers. When recruiting more, priority will be given to those who have already registered.

Zhang was responsible for notifying specific personnel of the confirmed list and asked them to come to the processing workshop on the 28th of the winter month to participate in a three-day pre-job training.

After these matters were arranged, Ye Changyan went to the county town again and invited Magistrate Wu as the guest of honor for the unveiling ceremony. He also invited County Magistrate Zhang, County Lieutenant Kong, and Chief Clerk Long to watch the ceremony.

County Magistrate Wu agreed very readily, and County Assistant Zhang, County Lieutenant Kong, Chief Clerk Long and others naturally also agreed with pleasure.

In the following days, Ye Changyan started training the chefs selected by Zhong Yunfeng in Yunfeng Building.

Time passed quickly. Ye Changyan has been very busy recently. Everything is being carried out in an orderly manner according to the process agreed upon by Ye Changyan and Zhong Yunfeng.
