Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

"I've entrusted the matter of hiring workers for the workshop expansion to my second brother and his wife. It's the same as always, 30 wen per person per day. My second brother will be the general manager, so he'll be paid 50 wen per day. My second sister-in-law will help with the workers' meals, so she'll also be paid 30 wen."

"If you do well, I will give a big red envelope to my brother and sister-in-law later."

Zhao Laoer was both surprised and happy. He was wholeheartedly prepared to follow Xiao Wan, the county lord, and naturally decided to start with menial work.

He never thought that Xiao Wan thought so highly of him that she made him the manager of the workshop!

Especially since Xiao Wan called him "Second Brother". How could this be possible? Dad was called uncle because he was close to the Xiao family in the past.

He was flattered to hear the county lady call him "Second Brother".

"County Lady, since you have given me this opportunity, I will definitely try my best to do my best." Zhao Laoer was also very excited because of Xiao Wan's appreciation of him.

Over the years, in addition to working in the fields, I am also familiar with mundane affairs, not to mention that I occasionally read some books.

So Zhao Laoer did have some knowledge, and he subconsciously started to nitpick on the words.

"You are so lucky, boy! The county lady values ​​you, and your second uncle Xiao also praises you very much. You must work hard for the county lady and not slack off for a moment!"

"Otherwise I won't forgive you!" Zhao Lizheng looked at his second son with satisfaction, and felt particularly touched that Xiao Wan valued his son.

"Second brother, just call me Wan'er from now on. There's no need to call me County Lady. It will make things more awkward." Xiao Wan looked at Zhao Laoer with disapproval.

"Also, Uncle Village Chief, although I've handed the responsibility over to my second brother, you're still the most knowledgeable and capable person in our village. I'll need your assistance and guidance in my second brother's work."

"When the work is finished, I'll buy you a few pounds of good wine and some delicious food as a thank you, and then I'll give you the biggest pay."

Zhao Lizheng felt relieved from the bottom of his heart when he heard this. Xiao Wan was such a kind girl.

From this perspective, his eldest grandson is really not worthy of Miss Wan. Zhao Li was thinking with some regret in his heart, but he kept agreeing to buy wine.

As for wages, you absolutely cannot ask for them.

He is old, and it is his duty to contribute a little to his village and children with his old bones, and he will do his best.

Xiao Wan smiled and said nothing, and said she would give it a red envelope when the time comes.

She asked Zhao Laoer to contact the craftsmen and workers on his own, and Zhao Lizheng was in charge of the review.

After Zhao Laoer got the job, he hurried to make arrangements.

Xiao Wan sent Zhao Lizheng and others away and started drawing the blueprints.

She knew a little bit about drawings. After all, she studied art in her previous life and had some basic knowledge.

She thought that since it was an expansion and she planned to do this business for a long time, she would build it in a good and comprehensive way.

First, three workshops need to be built. The original workshop for female workers will remain unchanged and will be large enough.

We just need to recruit some more female workers to supplement the staff.

The second step is to build another workshop, only recruiting male workers, and building a wall to separate the men's and women's workshops.

Nowadays, there are still requirements for the distance between men and women, and we cannot just follow the open-minded ideas of our previous lives.

Xiao Wan still had some ideas about the last workshop, but she decided to build it first.

Although it is a workshop, it is modeled after a modern factory.

There should be a larger conference room to use during holidays or when giving speeches to workers.

You also need to have several offices, for example, you should have an office for yourself to check accounts and take a rest.

The person in charge should have a separate office to work in, and on weekdays, people like Aunt Xiao San should also have a place to record work points.

Then there is the accounting office. The accounting office is responsible for recording and checking the daily accounting or sales invoices.

The workers' wages, holiday benefits, bonuses, etc. must all be recorded by the accounting office.

So at least four offices need to be built as backup.

Xiao Wan wrote, drew, and revised until it was almost dark. When Tian Shuang came into the room with a lamp, Xiao Wan suddenly realized that it was already dark.

"Miss, please take a break and prepare for dinner. You have been busy all afternoon." Tian Shuang said with some concern.

"It doesn't matter. It's dark now. I've almost finished the painting. I'll check tomorrow morning to see if there are any changes to make and then I can start work." Xiao Wan stretched and felt a little tired.
