Chapter 1269
"Okay, keep busy, just send some female workers over when you have time." As an immigrant who has moved to fight with local forces for business, Qi doesn't care about things like this, she believes that everything is under the control of Zhaolin middle.

"Okay, then let's go back to the topic of hiring laborers. Will this year's laborers still be selected from the refugees in Siping County?"

"Well, prepare a sandbag weighing [-] jins. According to the distance from the pier to the warehouse, you can walk back and forth five times without dropping it."

"Five laps? The distance between our warehouse and the berth of the pier is very long, and the transfer and transportation depends on vehicles. It is too heavy a burden for manpower to walk five laps."

"Well, I did it on purpose. The distance to walk back and forth from unloading the ship to the car is short. Unloading at the door of the warehouse, moving it in and stacking it, walking back and forth is called a long-distance trek. The rest time depends on when the next car is unloaded. Yes, so endurance is good, you can’t just rest for a while and your muscles are so weak that you can’t work. But for the five laps, I just said it casually, you decide the standard, just pick those who can work.”

"Okay." Zhao Lin silently opened a new memo and wrote down this one, "How do you calculate the wages? By the piece or by the month?"

"Piece-rate, no basic salary, free food and lodging, big shop, shift shifts, otherwise, in order to save a few steps, everyone will rush to load and unload the ship instead of moving goods in the warehouse. It is human nature to be lazy."

"Pay day is the same as the first of every month for female workers?"

"Well, give each of them a temporary work card and passbook, so as not to be missed by thieves."

Because the business is running smoothly and there are more and more female workers, for the safety of everyone's money, Qi Ke quietly set up a credit union in the factory, and each person is issued a passbook. Will it be upgraded to a regular bank or bank in the future? Let's talk about it in the future.

One of the advantages of a passbook is that you can only withdraw money by yourself, and you can make up for it if you lose it, and you can make up for it as many times as you lose it. The laborers on the wharf are more likely to lose their belongings when they sleep in the Datong shop, so the passbook is the safest. How much to take, in case of theft, the loss is not too big, so you won't be so distressed that you want to jump into the river.

"Give them passbooks, but they can't read, what should I do?"

"Well..." Qi Ke wiped his face, "Learning class, let them voluntarily attend the literacy class, rank them according to their grades, give priority to hiring in the next year with good grades, and give priority to changing from short-term workers to long-term workers."

"What is the standard of good grades?"

"It has to be a pass, I don't ask for excellence, just a passing grade is fine."

"If the refugees in this county are interested, can you recruit them?"

"Recruitment, give priority to the refugees in this county, especially those who have been with our bamboo weaving shop for a long time, and ask them if they would like to earn more, and then return to the county to continue making bamboo weaving when the weather is cold."

The price of bamboo baskets and straw bags in the bamboo weaving shop has not changed. It is essentially a piecework job. The refugees who have cooperated for a long time can be regarded as acquaintances, and they deserve a chance to earn more money.

"We have to say hello to the Qianhu Office first. We have gone through the official way to buy women and children everywhere."

"Okay, let the shipyard send someone to tell the money and grain officer tomorrow morning."

Zhaolin immediately forgot this memo, then contacted the Jiaji boat company in the county, and randomly appointed a deputy as the person who would contact the money and grain officer tomorrow.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Qi Ke just finished giving the order, then turned his head and mentioned another thing, "It's time to send someone over to take a look at the 550 mu of farmland in Luxi Village."

"Uh..." Qi Ke was stunned.
