Who understands? He traveled through time with a high-spec spatial ability.

The same situation is playing out on the other side.

A man dressed in black kicked a pebble on the ground in a fit of rage, shouting, "Is there a silver mine here, you bastard?"

Another person said, "But the intelligence report definitely pointed to this place. Could it be that we've come to the wrong place?"

Another person stepped forward and said, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I followed my master's instructions exactly and made no mistake. Don't you find it strange? It's as if something here was moved away; otherwise, what's with all those rubble on the ground?"

"What else could it be! Either the information was wrong, or they found the wrong place! It can't be that the mine grew legs and ran away, right? That's just too damn ridiculous!"

Lingzhu: Hehe, you guessed right, but there's no reward.

The leader beckoned to one of his underlings and instructed, "Send a letter to Prince Duan, saying there's nothing here. If he doesn't believe me, let him send someone to check it out himself. If our Tianwu Pavilion can't handle this job, we can only refund half the deposit. We can't let our brothers make a wasted trip."

Qiao Jingjing slept soundly until dawn, unaware that her unintentional little action had ruined the plans of two princes.

Feeling refreshed after waking up, I took out the copy of the contract from the printer and went to the cafeteria.

Everyone is used to waking up early, and by the time Qiao Jingjing arrived, most of them had already finished eating. They were all sitting in their chairs waiting for her.

Upon her arrival, someone eagerly spoke up: "Miss Qiao, please arrange some work for us! The food and sleep here are excellent; we won't feel at ease if we don't do some work."

Qiao Jingjing smiled calmly: "No rush. Everyone, please sit down first. I have a few things I need to discuss with you."

She paused, looked around, and continued, "What I value most is loyalty. You are not ordinary people; you have been on the battlefield and witnessed what hell on earth is like. You understand better than I what betraying others means."

Immediately, the faces of these burly men turned serious. Those who had left the military didn't recover for several years; they were all the same, frequently having nightmares.

Not only do you have to face danger, but you also have to face the reality that your companions, with whom you spend every day, are talking to you one moment and then dying the next. Having witnessed so much separation and death, people's hearts become numb.

"I think the most important things in the military are obedience to orders and loyalty."

"Although this is not a military camp, what I am doing is also a great thing that benefits the country and the people. You are all remarkable. You can go to the battlefield to defend the country and then use your abilities to do things for the people after you retire! I, Qiao Jingjing, respect you all and hope you will not let me down."

A man stood up abruptly: "Miss Qiao, I, Lao Mo, swear I would never betray you or do anything immoral."

Another person also swore an oath, and then one after another, everyone swore they would not do anything dishonest.

After everyone had expressed their excitement, Qiao Jingjing held up a stack of papers in her right hand and said:

"Here is the contract, or agreement. As the saying goes, 'Without rules, there can be no order.' My Moyun Xuan Paper Mill has drafted some rules and regulations and employee benefits. Take a look at them first, and you can ask me anything you don't understand now."

Everyone received three copies of the contract, each consisting of three pages of content.

Most of the veterans were not very literate, so they asked those who could read. In an instant, the 50 people were divided into seven or eight groups, all asking what was written.

Qiao Jingjing began, "Okay, I'll read it once, everyone listen carefully. In order to regulate the behavior of paper mill employees, improve work efficiency, and ensure product quality, this system is hereby established."

This policy applies to all employees of the paper mill.

1. Workers in the workshop should develop a work schedule based on actual circumstances, with a daily workday consisting of 4 hours. Exceptions apply.

2. Employees must strictly adhere to the work schedule, abide by labor discipline, and are not allowed to be late, leave early, be absent without leave, or leave their posts without authorization.

.........

8. Employees shall keep the paper mill's trade secrets confidential and shall not disclose customer information, product formulas, process flows, etc.

9. Employees should cherish the paper mill's public property and must not damage or steal it.

10. Employees should strictly follow the production process and quality standards to ensure product quality.

After reading this, everyone looked puzzled. Why was this different from what their employers usually told them? Many even didn't quite understand.

However, they understood the general meaning: arrive at work on time, leave on time, and don't say anything you shouldn't.

Qiao Jingjing knew they were only half-understanding it: "Just remember not to be late, not to leave early, and not to reveal the secret recipe. You'll remember the rest later."

She smiled radiantly and continued, "With requirements come rewards and punishments. Now, let's talk about the wages and benefits that everyone is concerned about."

Everyone's eyes lit up upon hearing this; who wouldn't like money?

"1. Employees' compensation is determined based on their job position, work performance and achievements."

Ordinary employees receive 1 tael of silver per month, second-class employees receive 2 taels, and so on. Employees are also assessed regularly, and everyone has a chance to be evaluated.

When there are many orders and overtime is required, we will give everyone extra overtime pay.

2. In terms of benefits, the paper mill provides employees with paid leave of 3 days per month. Employees receive annual gifts during holidays. Those with more than 5 years of service receive 20 days of paid leave per year. The mill also provides humanistic care for weddings and funerals.

The paper mill holds a monthly selection process, with outstanding employees receiving additional rewards such as cash and gifts; details will be announced later. The prizes are plentiful, so stay tuned!

In addition, those who demonstrate outstanding performance, such as providing rational suggestions that save costs or improve efficiency for the paper mill, or those who perform exceptionally well and win honors for the paper mill, will receive extra rewards.

Conversely, those who leave early, are absent without leave, leave their posts without authorization, disclose the paper mill's trade secrets, damage or steal the paper mill's public property, or cause losses to the paper mill due to quality problems during work, will be expelled from the paper mill and held legally responsible.

I will send these regulations to the government for official stamping. Everyone can think it over carefully before signing.

After he finished speaking, the room fell into a deathly silence. No one could believe what they were hearing.

A minimum monthly salary of 1 tael! Paid leave! Holiday gifts! Extra rewards! Each one made them tremble with excitement.

Most importantly, Miss Qiao signed contracts with them, not indentured servitude. They were employed, not enslaved!

Ji Yongchang's chest heaved for a long time before he returned to normal.

He had some schooling and was a few years older than his brothers, so he naturally became their leader when they set off.

He lost an arm on the battlefield, and compared to his brothers who were all healthy and only slightly different, he received far more contempt.

He understood Qiao Jingjing's system. In short, it meant that as long as you worked hard and didn't betray the workshop, the workshop would be your support—a strong guarantee that would cover your losses!

After regaining his composure, he quickly picked up a pen, signed his name, and then pressed a red handprint next to it.

Others who can write should write their names, while those who cannot should have someone else write for them, and then they should put their fingerprints on the paper.

Everyone was overjoyed. "Thank you, Mr. Qiao!"

Aunt Li, who was preparing lunch, became increasingly proud. "Jingjing is really amazing. She can come up with all sorts of things."
