Chapter 367: The Cloth Shop Begins Recruiting Workers

So Your Majesty is not ignoring him, but the road under Your Majesty's feet may be even muddier than his.

So what reason does he have to blame Your Majesty?

Ever since Magistrate Shen made great achievements in politics and emerged, Your Majesty has been building up momentum for her and issuing notices repeatedly to subtly influence the people's thinking, isn't it?

So how heavy is the burden that Your Majesty is carrying? Deng Jinghe didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He now knew that he had never walked this road alone. Looking around in the vast desert, he could see people walking with backpacks everywhere.

Deng Jinghe suddenly laughed, and as he laughed tears began to flow from his eyes, burning in the sunlight.

He lifted his robe once again and knelt down, heading towards the direction of the palace.

"Thank you! Your Majesty, for your grace! I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Lin Zhaohe stood behind him and suddenly understood why His Majesty asked them to come in and apologize first and then read the oral order.

......

Tongan County.

Just three days after the fundraising notice was sent out, people from each village came to the county school with large bags of silver.

After Xu Zhubu counted the silver, he took a large box of silver to Quanyang County and exchanged the silver for silver notes.

Yu Shizhang was watching from the side with anger, and immediately wrote a letter to Yu Zhengqing, asking him to arrange for the official money house to be opened in Tongan County.

A day later, I received a reply from Yu Zhengqing. It only contained two words, concise and to the point - working on it.

Shen Zheng looked at the reply and marveled at what a damn sense of security it was.

No wonder there is such a constant stream of people coming and going at the peak of power.

In her previous life, a money house was a bank. So an official money house is naturally a state-owned bank. It can also be considered an infrastructure building, right?

I don’t know if the system will miss some points for her when the bank opens its doors.

And last time the enlightenment class started, Shen Zheng thought the prosperity value would increase, but unexpectedly it didn't increase at all. Shen Zheng felt that the system was waiting for an opportunity, but she didn't know what that opportunity was.

It is not a good thing for a cold system to be too human.

On that day, Shen Zheng ordered Xu Zhubu to post the notice of recruitment for the cloth workshop. Almost no one in Tongan County slept that day.

Night insects were rustling, the moonlight was bright, the shadows of the trees were swaying slightly in the breeze, and the whispers of people could be heard from the houses on both sides of the street.

"One tael of silver is considered high in the entire Liuyang Prefecture. The Lord always treats us well, but in this way, won't the cloth shop really lose money? Are we... worthy of it?"

"Who are our masters? When have we ever done business at a loss?"

"That's right. But I'm still uneasy in my heart. I'm always worried that someone will say, sir, why don't we go find the village head tomorrow? If I'm chosen, I don't want a tael of silver. As long as you give me a job, I'll do it."

knock knock --

There was a knock on the window. The couple was startled and stared out the window, saying, "A thief?"

The man got up quietly, gathered his clothes, grabbed the stick beside the bed, and was about to open the window when he heard someone outside the window say:

"Mom, don't think about it. I've mentioned Ergou's mother to the village head, and she was scolded by him."

"Hey--smelly boy!"

The man pushed open the window with a bang, and the window eaves happened to hit their big noses.

"it hurts!"

"You little brat, why don't you go to bed? You've learned to eavesdrop on your parents, haven't you? Go back to bed now. It's so late. You still have to go to enlightenment class tomorrow!"

"I got up to pee... I'll go to bed then."

The woman reacted, got up and said, "Son, tell me what Ergou's mother said today? And what did your uncle, the head of the village, say?"

"Uh..." The little boy bit his finger and roughly repeated what the two had said.

"Anyway, the village head uncle said that the adults have made such a decision. If you think it's too much, then work hard for the cloth shop. If the adults give you one tael of silver, then do the work of one tael of silver. Don't think too much."

After hearing this, the woman waved her hand and told him to go back to sleep, muttering:

"Take one ounce of silver and do one ounce of silver's work...Dad, I understand!"

The man shrank back into the bed, not wanting to hit her: It’s not even a matter of time before they can be chosen.

He was dazed and heard his wife say:

"In fact, I think the most important thing is not the salary of one or two taels of silver, but the four days of rest every month. The harvest was not good before, and when you went to work in the next county, you didn't have a day off for half a year, and you had to endure it even when you were sick. You couldn't even come back when your child was sick..."

At this point she wiped away her tears, "In the end, it was just enough to fill our family's stomachs. What a hard life we ​​lived then."

The man heard her sobbing and woke up suddenly, holding her in his arms.

"Yes. But let's not look back now. How many people envy our current life?"

"That's right." The woman buried her head in his arms and whispered the worst possible outcome.

"...Even if we are not selected, we should work harder. If we are not selected, it must be our fault."

The news that the cloth workshop in Tongan County was recruiting workers spread like wildfire throughout the county that same day, and even reached the ears of several residents next door. The next day, many residents from Quanyang County and Yonglu County were inquiring around Tongan County.

A Quanyang County resident leaned over and asked under the pretext of buying buns:

"Fellow villager, I heard that your cotton cloth workshop has started recruiting workers. The salary is one tael of silver per month, and there are days off every month. Is this true?"

The boss of the steamed bun shop pointed to the bean soup stall next to him and said, "Next to it is the stall of the county school principal's direct disciple. The boss's wife confirmed it herself, how could it be false?"

"Oh, that's great."

The Quanyang County resident rubbed his hands and was about to speak when he heard the bun shop owner say:

"Don't even think about it. Our boss said that we will only recruit people from Tongan County. As for people from other counties..."

The boss gave me a look: You know.

The citizens of Quanyang County slapped their thighs.

"I want to marry into Tongan County!"

"You wish! Now the girls in Tongan County are all my treasures!"

......

County school.

Shen Zheng handed the recruitment matter over to Xu Zhubu, and then felt that there were too many applicants, so she prepared to find Yu Shizhang to lend someone to Xu Zhubu.

At first, she thought that with Wang Guangjin's character, it would not be a problem for him to temporarily take over the management of the cloth shop. But now Wang Guangjin has a printing shop on one side and a chamber of commerce on the other. Even if he is willing, Shen Zheng cannot bring herself to speak up. Isn't this just treating him like a donkey?

But in fact, the cloth shop is not just the business of the county government, so she also specifically instructed Xu Zhubu to pay more attention to the county residents. If there are any with good qualifications, they should be noted down and they should focus on training them.

It's impossible that such a big cloth shop can only be managed by her and Xu Zhubu, right?
