Chapter 588 Peasant Woman 16
"That's fine. Let's do this one household at a time." The elders did not shirk their responsibilities. After deciding on the salary standards for the clan members and discussing the construction of clan houses, this small meeting was considered over.

Therefore, after Tan You announced everyone's salary, Chen Tianshui took the stage and mainly talked about building houses for the tribe members. When the tribe members heard that the tribe would build houses for free, they all became excited.

Everyone was especially moved when they heard that the program would start with the most needy families. The children gathered around Tan You, and all looked at him with admiring eyes.

Tan You looked at the children in front of him and suddenly made a suggestion: "I recently met a scholar who lives with his widowed mother. I think he is well-educated and has good character. Why not invite him to the village to teach the children to read and write?"

"When you go out, you won't be deceived. If girls can read, it will be easier to find a husband."

It’s not that Tan You wants to talk about marriage all the time, but this is the way of the times. If you don’t put interests first, people won’t be willing to invest in women.

Chen Tianshui was the first to respond: "That's great, madam is still far-sighted."

Tan You just smiled and said, "It's just a small matter. I have to tell you in advance that when the teacher comes, you should study hard. If anyone is not serious, I will punish him."

The children all nodded in unison: "Madam, we will definitely study hard."

It’s strange to say, since the workshop opened, everyone calls Tan You "Madam" when they see her. The previous titles such as sister-in-law, aunt, etc. are no longer used.

Even the children behaved well when they saw her. Tan You liked this feeling very much, and just followed the rules with her.

"I will go to the town to pick up the teacher in a while. Chief, please have someone clean up the house. The teacher will live in the village with his mother. In addition, I will also buy some pottery. Let Cuihong go with me."

Chen Tianshui's ears perked up: "Are there not enough molds for cold-process soap?"

Tan You nodded: "Yes, and the more goods we sell, the more tools we need. Today is the day when everyone gets paid, so let's take a day off in the workshop and go for a walk in the town."

"No, no, no, let's finish the work in the workshop before going to the town," the aunts shook their heads. Who would be willing to give up a few dozen coins a day? Anyway, the town is there and it can't run away.

Tan You was helpless: "Okay, then everyone get busy, Mingguang, Anwen, you guys follow me."

Chen Xi and An Wen immediately ran away from the employees. The two of them in the workshop were equivalent to management trainees in later generations. It didn't matter how much money they made, but let them learn from them.

Tan You led Chen Xi and An Wen away, and the tribesmen got busy. Just looking at Chen Xi and An Wen, everyone couldn't help but envy them. With Tan You's words and deeds, these two children are obviously different from other children in the village.

Just the small abacus hanging around Chen Xi and An Wen's waists, I don't know how many children envy them. Many adults can't even calculate addition and subtraction within a few dozen, but these two little guys spend all day with their abacuses calculating shipping costs and so on.

When An Wen, Chen Xi and Tan You arrived home, Chen Yue had already brought Dazao out. After a month at home and with everyone's careful care, Dazao was completely different from what he was a month ago.

Even Xiaozao had lost his initial sickly look. After all, who would feed donkeys ginseng whiskers? But Tan You was willing to give it up. It was an investment. If he raised two donkeys well, how many ginseng whiskers could he buy?
Now Dazao's fur is bright and shiny, and it seems that oil can be seen from the end of its fur. Tan You touched its head and said, "Today we are going to the town. This is the first time I will ask you to carry a load. Can you do it?"

Dazao grunted and rubbed Tanyou's hand. Who says animals don't understand emotions? Dazao knows who treats him best in this family and who is the boss.

After loading the donkey cart on Dazao, Tan You gently patted Dazao's back, and Dazao went to the town. After shopping in the town, he went to Sihai again. Looking at the soaps and perfumed soaps on the shelves of Sihai, Tan You couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. Judging from this, it is estimated that most of the soaps have been sent to the capital.

Speaking of the prefectural capital, Tan You frowned slightly. He still had to go to the prefectural capital when he had time. He took the children out for a walk before the chaos started. When the chaos started, everyone would have to hide in the mountain village.

By the way, before the chaos comes, she has to recruit as many talents as possible, such as various craftsmen, doctors, guards, etc. If she can hire a bodyguard, it will be even better, and he can also teach everyone martial arts.

But whether it is a bodyguard or a doctor, it is difficult to find such talents, and it is even more difficult to retain them.

Tan You took a deep breath. No matter how difficult it was, these things had to be done!
Time flies and it is late autumn. The mosquito coil workshop has stopped production. Now there is only one soap workshop in the tribe. This is really the production of the whole tribe. Of course, money also flows into the tribe like water.

But when he came early this morning, Tan You discovered that several aunts coughed from time to time.

"Madam, we just caught a cold last night."

"Yes, we are fine. We can continue working."

Tan You nodded slightly: "Okay, if you can't hold on any longer, go back and rest. The clan leader and I have something to discuss."

She had forgotten this. In winter, the elderly and children have weak immune systems and can hardly withstand the severe cold. In ancient times, when a cold could kill people, catching a cold was no joke.

"Kang? Is it that good?" Chen Tianshui was a little surprised after hearing what Tan You said.

Tan You: "You will know after trying it. I suggest that the whole clan should make a kang. If you are ambitious, you can lead a team to make kangs for others and earn some money."

Chen Tianshui was skeptical, but his trust in Tan You prevailed: "Okay, let's try it within the clan first."

It would have been fine if they hadn't tried it. After trying it, the whole tribe was really interested in mosquito coils. Who wouldn't want a kang? As a result, the young and strong men who had free time in the mosquito coil workshop began to build kangs for the tribe members.

After the whole clan started to heat the kang, the young and strong people led the team to the surrounding villages and towns to carry out the kang-building business vigorously.

Everyone was an experienced worker, and usually worked in groups of five or six, which maximized their work efficiency. If people were short of money, the tribesmen would also accept people exchanging food or other things for them.

They are not picky. Once they are brought back to the tribe, the lady will always find a use for them.

If the women were close to Tan You, then the men in the tribe were more respectful of him. Only when they went out did they know what Tan You had done.

People always admire the strong, especially men. In their opinion, Tan You has transcended gender, and to criticize her gender based on what she has done is to belittle herself.
