Chapter 587 Peasant Woman 15
Tan You: "Today is the first batch. From now on, the workshop will have output every day. Do you have people coming to pick up the goods every day or once every ten days? There is a fixed daily output. The amount of goods is about 800 yuan.”
Tan You: "Then let's follow what the Xue Dong family wants. By the way, a lot of mosquito repellent incense has been accumulated recently. Are the Xue Dong families taking it away with them?"
Xue Guanglin did not hesitate: " Of course, take them away together. Who doesn’t know how useful mosquito coils are now? I need a lot of soap and mosquito coils. I sent a batch to Fucheng, and there is a big gap now.”
Tan You understood: "I understand, we will increase the supply as appropriate."
As soon as Xue Guanglin left, the tribesmen became commotion. Tan You put the fifteen taels of silver she received into the wooden box: "The workshop pays last month's wages on the first day of every month. Don't worry."
Aunt Hua swallowed: " Madam, how do we calculate our wages?”
Tan You: “Let’s check the workshop’s shipment volume in the first month. I will discuss the rest with the clan elders. Please listen to the notice. . ”
“This is the clan’s own workshop. In the end, it will be used by the clan members themselves, and there will never be any harsh treatment of employees.”
Seeing that everyone was still worried, Tan You simply said a few more words.
Cuihong Grandma smiled and said: "It's not that we don't worry about this, we are calculating, if the workshop ships every day, how much silver will it cost per month?"
Tan You: "We have to do cost accounting in the end, but it will definitely cost more than everyone going to work in the town."
Aunt Hua was stunned and was the first to shout: "As long as it exceeds two hundred yuan, I will do it." I'm satisfied."
"That's definitely more," Tan You smiled: "Let's go, I'll have a meeting with the clan elders."
Now everyone knows what Tan You means by having a meeting, plus the workshop still has money, who is willing to be idle now?
The young men carried baskets on their backs and began to purchase raw materials. The employees continued to work, and the children ran all over the mountains and fields. It can be said that almost everyone has found their place here. .
Once the soap started to be shipped, there was a steady supply of supplies. Later, because the young adults were already familiar with the pork stalls everywhere, the pork suet collected every day stabilized within a fixed range.
But this amount of raw materials is ultimately a drop in the bucket compared to the supply required by Sihai.
Tan You couldn't help but frown: "We have to find ways to develop new products. We can't just use lard, we have to use other fats, otherwise it will be easy to get stuck in the raw materials."
Chen Tianshui was puzzled: "Is there any other way?"
Tan You: "Of course there is a way. Vegetable oil can also be used to make soap. The main thing in making soap is saponification reaction. The raw material does not have to be lard. , but not every planting "Both vegetable oils are fine."
"I'll go check it out later. If the supply of vegetable oils can keep up, there will be more shipments in the future."
It seems that the elders didn't say much. As long as Tan You speaks, everyone will be convinced. Now she wants to develop new products. Ultimately, it is for the good of the workshop.
Little did they know that Tan You was comparing the money he earned now with the modern wage level. If calculated at fifteen taels of silver per day, it would only amount to 450 taels of silver per month.
Mosquito-repellent incense can only be made for a few months due to the seasonal restrictions of moxa leaves. As a result, the stable monthly income of the workshop may only be about 500 taels. Converted to RMB, it's only 500,000 yuan, and the workshop has to provide livelihood for the whole family, who now number more than 500. If you want to support everyone, this is just a drop in the bucket.
So in the final analysis, we still need to increase the production volume of the workshop. Only when everyone makes more money will life be easier.
In addition, the world will be in chaos in a few years, so Tan You needs to take advantage of now to stock up on more money and more food. These are the capital for a stable life in the future.
While everyone is working on their business together, the clan members have also been working in the workshop for a month. When Tanyou came to the workshop in the morning, she heard everyone's small discussions. After just listening to a few sentences, she knew the main content of everyone's discussion.
Thinking about it this way, Tan You didn't deliberately whet everyone's appetite. Looking at each other, Chen Tianshui rang the gong in the workshop that was used to remind people to start and end work.
The gong sounded, and everyone put down what they were doing and hurried to the open space in front of the workshop.
Tan You did not give in. After Chen Xi brought the account book, Tan You quickly summarized: "Everyone has been working in the workshop for a full month. The mosquito coils were shipped twenty days ago, and a total of payment has been made. One hundred and eighty taels."
"The soap started shipping half a month ago, and the cumulative sales are two hundred and thirty taels."
Everyone couldn't help but talk: "Big lady. , so much money?”
Tan You explained patiently: "Mosquito incense is seasonal and can only be produced for a few months each year. The same cannot be said for soap. As long as the raw materials are supplied, soap can be made at any time."
The tribesmen could not help but nod: "Well, soap is a long-term business."
Tan You said sternly: "Actually, mosquito coils can also be made, as long as moxa can keep up. Let's not mention these for now, let's talk about everyone's salary first."< br>
Now that we are within the clan, there is no such thing as privacy. Tan You simply wrote down everyone's salary levels. The first-ranked people were naturally the young men who went out to purchase various raw materials.
One tael of silver per month, and the number of people working in the workshop ranges from 600 to 800 depending on the type of work. To be honest, when setting this salary, Tan You himself felt that it was too little.
In modern society, where can one still earn a salary of five hundred or six hundred a month? The minimum wage for workers is almost over 2,000. Of course, there is no comparison between feudal society and modern times.
But in the eyes of Chen Tianshui and the clan elders, this salary is already extremely high. Nowadays, in addition to mosquito coils, there are always people working in the workshop. The soap workshop basically requires half a day and half a day off. The elders already find this job very easy.
Third Grandpa: "Madam, don't you always talk about bonuses and dividends? These can be awarded to everyone during various festivals. Even if the basic salary is this much, giving too much at one time will easily overwhelm everyone's appetite. Raise him up."
"And if the money stays in the clan, it will be easier to spread to the whole clan."
Tan You raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh, what are you going to do, Third Grandpa?"
Several clan elders looked at each other: "Since building a house is going to be used for the clan, it is natural that it will help everyone's lives. The clan is planning to build a house. Madam, are you the first one?"
Tan You rolled his eyes: "I Don’t worry, if you want to build a house, let’s start with the families who are most in need. We have to take care of the people who need it most.”
