Chapter 252 Faith
Miao Shun walked among the people, listening to everyone's discussion, feeling particularly uneasy.
He subconsciously believed in Mrs. Xie, but she had been suppressed by her boss in recent years. Everyone's concerns were correct. Wasn't Mrs. Miao being used by the Xie family?
People are separated from each other, and no one knows what will happen in the future.
He led this group of people out of the Xie family porcelain kiln. If they were really used, he didn't know how to face them in the future.
"Brother Shunzi, there seem to be a lot of people in the Yang family."
Miao Dong next to him pointed at the horses not far away.
Miao Shun had been lost in thought and did not notice this.
"This horse has come a long way."
The horses' hooves were covered with mud and water, and there were a few people dressed as servants, who were led in by the Yang family to rest.
"It's true, there are other people coming to the Yang family!"
I don't know if this has anything to do with them.
The people in front gradually slowed down, allowing Miao Shun to walk past first.
Mrs. Xie was not in Daming Mansion, and something happened at the entrance of the Xie family's kiln. When people were in panic, it was Miao Shun who stabilized everyone, and Miao Shun became the leading craftsman.
Miao Shun was just about to inquire about the situation when he saw someone approaching, it was Cheng Qi and Yang Xiaoshan.
When Mrs. Xie and Xie Zishao were away, it was Cheng Qi and Yang Xiaoshan who met with Miao Shun in private.
"Guanshi Yang, Guanshi Cheng."
Miao Shun was about to salute, but Yang Xiaoshan helped him: "Brother Shunzi, what are you doing? Why don't you recognize us when you arrive at Yang's house?"
Miao Shun smiled. He used to work in the Xie family, but now that he is coming to the Yang family, it is naturally different. From now on, he will have to listen to Yang Xiaoshan and the others.
Cheng Qi also said: "We are all the same. You will know it soon."
Miao Shun said: "Master Qi is here too?"
"Here, Madam, the Seventh Master is inside," Cheng Qi led Miao Shun inside, "We all have a lot to do today, let's do it bit by bit."
Miao Shun couldn't help but be a little confused. Shouldn't he meet Madam Xie and Master Xie directly? Thinking about it this way, he felt even more unsure. But before he could ask any more questions, he heard Cheng Qi say: "Let's all go to the accounting office to get the money first. The wages that have not been paid by the Xie family porcelain kiln during this period will be settled for everyone today."
Miao Shun was stunned: "The wages that the Xie family didn't pay? Madam Xie wants to give it to us?"
Yang Xiaoshan smiled and said: "Remember what the eldest lady said at that time? The hired workers should be paid at least one hundred pence a day. If the Xie family can't do it, they will come to find the eldest lady. This is not just a casual statement."
"Of course, the craftsman's money is not a hundred cents. We will pay it as the Xie family agreed with you at the time."
The daily wages for a stick master like Miao Shun are at least 300 fen, while other craftsmen's wages range from 150 to 200 fen.
Miao Shun looked at the boxes of copper coins on the floor of the accounting room and couldn't help but pursed his lips.
Miao Shundao: "But we have done nothing these days."
"But the eldest lady has said it first, so we have to do it like this," Yang Xiaoshan patted Miao Shun on the shoulder, "The eldest lady said that you must have faith in doing business."
Yang Xiaoshan tried hard to remember what he said. In fact, Yang Qin had taught him many times, and he thought he was familiar with it. When he used it, he would inevitably have to think about it.
"Use righteousness to control profit, take into account both righteousness and profit..."
He really couldn't remember it later, so Yang Xiaoshan had to give up: "You can just take it anyway."
After Yang Xiaoshan finished speaking, the Yang family had arranged for the craftsmen to enter the accounting room one after another.
Seeing that everyone actually received the money, Miao Shun felt relieved.
"After taking it, should we leave? The pottery kiln will no longer need us."
Someone asked the cashier. Miao Shun immediately looked at Yang Xiaoshan.
"Of course not," Yang Xiaoshan said, "There are not enough clay ovens in the city, and everyone has to go back to burn the kiln tomorrow. There is a lot to do, but... our rules of doing things are different from the Xie family, and everyone will understand it soon. ”
When they heard that there was work to be done, everyone's faces showed joy. It was not yet time for spring plowing, so they couldn't go back and be idle. A day of idleness would mean a day of less money.
"The craftsmen who have received the money should go to the next room." Cheng Qi pointed forward.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what to do over there.
Miao Shun hurriedly took his wages and walked over with others. He saw several Yang clan members inside. There were pens and papers on the table, looking like they were going to write something.
Miao Shun first asked: "This is..."
"Everyone will tell the truth about what they are good at and how long they have been doing it."
Mr. Wei, Mr. Geng, and Mr. Yao walked into the room. The three of them nodded to everyone, and then Mr. Wei said: "We are all craftsmen. What do we know? We don't know yet?"
"Once it's written, it will be easier for the boss to arrange work, right?"
"Then the Xie family, in order to make a clay stove by chance, they are looking for craftsmen everywhere. Is that something that can be done well if there are more craftsmen?"
"That's not how people use it."
"Those who are good at making porcelain cannot be allowed to make pottery."
Hearing this, Miao Shun's heart moved. He looked at Mr. Wei: "Master, the Yang family's porcelain kiln still needs manpower?"
Master Geng stroked his beard: "That's natural. Haven't you heard that the Yang family has made new porcelain?"
Miao Shun and others naturally heard about this.
But...
"That's the Yang family porcelain kiln, so naturally we have to use their people, we..."
Geng Lao looked at Miao Shun and others with disdain for their lack of experience in the world.
"There are two large kilns, seven small kilns, and a huge porcelain stone mine in Yuzhou. Can the Yang family complete it?"
Everyone opened their eyes in surprise.
Geng Lao was very satisfied. In fact, he was almost like this when he first heard it. He never expected that Madam Xie would buy so many porcelain kilns in Guangzhou.
"Don't talk about seven small kilns, how many manpower are needed to support two large kilns?" If someone suddenly built so many porcelain kilns, they would have to worry about manpower. Now that the Xie family has collapsed, Mrs. Xie just happened to take over. These people.
Miao Shun's home was in Yuezhou, so he naturally wanted to go back, so he asked eagerly: "How can I get to the Yuezhou kiln?"
Geng Lao said: "Then how do I know?"
Miao Shun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Then you have to ask yourselves," Mr. Geng looked at the Yang clan members who were waiting to write, "What are you good at and what have you made? What are you familiar with? Where do you want to go in the future? Should you be an apprentice or continue to be a craftsman? Every day How much salary do you want?”
"Maybe you don't want to go to the pottery kiln, nor do you want to go to Yuzhou."
This statement made everyone even more surprised.
"Where else to go?"
Yao Lao, who had been silent for the whole time, said: "The clay ovens are not only fired in Damingfu. There will be pottery kilns opened in other places in the future. If you do well, you may be invited to work as master craftsmen in the new pottery kilns."< br>
"In the future, if you have a reputation in this craftsman's book, if you don't want to stay here with Mrs. Xie, you may want to go elsewhere."
"Also," Miao Shun said, "can it still be like this?"
The boss has always chosen them. If they can't do it well, they can't be punched, kicked or paid. This kind of thing is normal, so how can they still be allowed to choose?
