    Huo Lingzhi crushed the letter, and it is better not to tell his fragile little princess about it for the time being, even if he wants to tell, he must find a suitable time.

    Right now is a busy time, while Luo Zining is in charge of three factories, he also needs to open a commercial street, and he also manages the marriage and love issues of the workers in the factory, as well as the vegetable field in front of him.

    Luo Zining was already so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. If he told him the news now, the fatigue and sadness would probably overwhelm Luo Zining.

    Luo Zining didn't know what happened, so he finished writing the outline of the meeting and went to the brick factory first. He didn't have a meeting today, so he came to the manager of the factory to inform the meeting tomorrow to give everyone time.

    Now that Chen Er is married, he gave Chen Er a vacation. The eldest son of the old factory manager is acting as the factory manager.

    This boss Qiao has the majesty of an elder. Although his other abilities are not as good as his brothers, his management ability is very strong. No one in the factory dare not listen to him.

    So Luo Zining asked him to be the acting factory director this time, which is also to test his ability. If he is strong, let him be the deputy factory director.

    Luo Zining also plans to expand the factory in the future. If conditions permit, he will divide the brick factory into two factories. One factory will continue to make bricks, and the other will specialize in construction and building houses.

    At that time, Chen Er will continue to manage the brick factory, and Qiao Boss will be able to manage the construction factory, and then bring his younger brother and third son to work as an engineer.

    He came here today to inspect the work. Boss Qiao's work is very strong, not inferior to Chen Er. Although he looks like a rough guy, when Luo Zining asks, he will take out a notebook and write it down.

    Luo Zining watched his writing. Although the handwriting was ugly, there were no typos. It seemed that the old factory manager had strict education requirements for his sons.

    "I have an idea that the workers in the factory should also learn to read." Luo Zining asked him, "What do you think?"

    Boss Qiao has a straightforward personality and is not afraid of offending the princess: "Those big bastards, let them learn to write, I'm afraid it will be more uncomfortable than killing them, few people will learn seriously."

    "When I was the team leader in the 21 factories I led, I taught them to read. They are all very good at learning. As long as they are willing to study hard, they are not afraid of failing to learn." Luo Zining said.

    "Those few are special cases. The excellent employees you selected, Wangfei, are naturally different from others, and it takes time and effort to learn to write. They have been busy all day. Who has the strength to want to learn to write? Besides, after they learn to write, they will not be able to learn to write."What's the use?" Joe said with a big smile.

    "Learning is naturally useful. In this way, it is not mandatory for them to learn to write. You can find a place to make a classroom. Whoever of your brothers is willing to be the teacher, let him take time out to teach the workers two times on the rest day.The two-hour class, tell the workers that learning to write is not mandatory, and anyone who wants to learn can go." Afraid that he would not like it, Luo Zining added: "Tell your brothers, who will teach on the day off?, take a two-hour vacation when you usually go to work, and then subsidize some wages."

    "Princess, we are willing to go without paying for the request you mentioned. You are so kind to us, and we always say that we don't know how to repay your great kindness. We just have this opportunity. We will definitely teach well."Boss Joe patted his chest and said.

    "The wages that should be paid must be paid, and you can't let you do things for nothing." Luo Zining has always distinguished between public and private, and doesn't like to use kindness to kidnap others to do things for him for free.

    "Okay, I'll tell my younger brothers when I get back. I'll definitely teach them well, but I don't know if anyone will learn. Why do you want to teach them how to read, Princess?" Boss Qiao couldn't help asking.

    "In order to standardize the factory in the future, we need to detail each department and need more leaders. It's not good for these leaders who can't read and write. You can tell them that if you do a good job, you can improve the team.Long, but if you want to go up further, you must choose someone who can read." Luo Zining told him about his future plans: "This city is so big, we belong to the Xicheng District, and there are three other places in the southeast, north, and south.The urban area in the direction has not been built yet. Turnip, if it is built over there, it will take too much manpower and time to transport bricks from such a far place. It is better to build two or three brick factories, which will be more convenient and quicker. When the time comes, you need to be able to manage thingsIn addition to our city, there are several small counties where I plan to open brick factories. When I need more factory managers, I still have to find someone who can read and write like you to be the factory director."

    When Boss Qiao heard this, he immediately understood that the princess wanted him to be the director of the factory on purpose, so he had to perform well to live up to the princess' expectations.

    "I understand, I will definitely do it." He said and rushed out to convey the news layer by layer.

    But even so, not everyone wants to learn to write, just like the world that Luo Zining traveled to, everyone knows that after studying well, he can find a better job, and with a high education, he can find a better partner, but stillThere are many, many people who do not want to study.

    The people in the factory didn't care about learning to write when Qiao Boss said, and some even thought that if they performed well and became the group leader, they could be called to the palace by the princess just like those group leaders before.I personally taught it, and being close to the princess must have many benefits. If he has learned to write now, what will the princess teach him in the future?

    Many people didn't take learning to write on the rest day seriously, and were even afraid of being forced by the factory. They all said that they had something to do on the rest day, but only a few people responded to this matter sparsely.

    Boss Joe said that there will be a meeting tomorrow and let them get ready.

    The employees in the factory were depressed when they heard that there was going to be a meeting again. The princess had to talk a lot every time she had a meeting, and she was so sleepy, but it was a good thing that she could sit and take a rest during the meeting.

    Luo Zining came to the meeting the next day, and saw that they were lifeless and unwilling to have a meeting, so he first talked about something they were interested in.

    "The blind date meeting I held before has turned into dozens of couples. On the day of your factory manager's wedding, the people who attended the wedding saw each other a little bit more. So far, all the female workers in the textile factory have married partners."When Luo Zining said this, he looked at the reactions of the people sitting below. Sure enough, they were not sleepy anymore, and some of them were beaming, some looked envious, and some were annoyed that they hadn't seized the opportunity.

    Luo Zining went on to say: "Since the hundred couples have already been completed, let's hold a group wedding after the dormitory of the textile factory is completed. I will pay for it, and hold a banquet in the factory. Let's have a lively time together."

    Luo Zining wants to have fun together, and save money, eat one meal, eat ten meals, don't waste time, some places have to spend money, and some places have to save money.

    They were even happier when they heard that everyone held a banquet together, and that the factory paid for the banquet, so they didn't have to pay.

    Originally, they needed a house and money to get married, and Luo Zining gave them all these. Not only did they allocate a house for them, but even helped them pay for the banquet, and they also gave them subsidies when they got married.One subsidy is two qian, and the daughter is still four qian.

    Have they arrived in the world of bliss?

    He also called all the female workers to this meeting. Firstly, this meeting allowed people from the two factories to listen. Secondly, the textile factory was half-constructed, and asked them to come here in advance to recognize the way and have a look.Environment, give them some new hope, formally bid farewell to the past residence and past memories.

    In the past, the female workers in the textile factory were forced to sign contracts of selling themselves, but now all of them have returned their good registrations. They have no parents or elder brothers.For them, it seems that they feel cared for by their family members.

    Luo Zining said that he would only give the female workers in the textile factory this kind of treatment, and he would not help pay the dowry for the male workers in the brick factory to marry women from other places.

    This makes these people who have suffered from the cold and warm in the world since childhood, and no longer believe that there are good people in the world, they also see a little light.

    This meeting no longer made people groggy, and everyone's eyes were full of hope. Although those who didn't get married this time were envious and annoyed, they soon felt that the princess was the kind of person who talked about fairness., what other people have, they will have it sooner or later, and the good life they see now is their good life in the future.

    Seeing that everyone was so happy and not sleepy anymore, Luo Zining got to the point. He first praised Chen Er for wanting his new wife to work in the brick factory.

    As soon as this was said, the employees in the factory were as excited as eating melons, and listened attentively.

    They found it strange that Chen Ertang, a factory manager who earned more than them and had the right to manage so many people, actually let his own woman work in the factory?

    There is no way for them to let their own wives to work in the factory. Some of them had wives before entering the factory.Women come to work in the factory.

    The other part is those who married the female employees of the textile factory. Before the blind date, they heard Luo Zining say that even if the female workers marry them, they must work. They also understand what the princess means, and they cannot let those female workers marryThe textile factory closed after they got married. They couldn't afford to pay the princess so much, so they had to agree.

    But if they are as rich as Chen Er, or if they can support a whole family by themselves, they absolutely don't want their women to come out and show their faces.

    But now the princess said that Chen Er asked his wife to work in the factory?Is Chen Er crazy?So if you have money, let your wife work out?His wife is also willing?

    Immediately afterwards, Luo Zining praised Chen Er and asked them to learn from Chen Er.

    Although they were puzzled, they could only applaud.

    Then they heard Luo Zining talk about the promotion system, what group leader, the group leader can still be promoted, and a bunch of job titles for managers. They didn't quite understand them, but they did understand one thing, that isWages will also increase if they go up, not just a few pennies, but a double increase.

    For example, the team leader's basic salary is 300 Wen a month, fully double that of theirs, and there are even more, such as 500 Wen, 1,000 Wen, or even one or two taels of silver.

    They listened excitedly, and began to enjoy their future. Didn’t the twenty group leaders just work faster, be more active, and help others more enthusiastically?It’s fine to get it done as long as it’s a fool, and they all get the same salary anyway, so why work harder than others, but now that they heard that the team leader has a higher salary, they decided to work harder in the future.

    Luo Zining also said that he will open more factories in the future, not only brick factories but also other factories, such as the paper factory he wants to open next year, if anyone does it well, he can be transferred to other factories to take care of it, and even be a factory manager.

    "Be the director of the factory?!" Suddenly, the descendants in the crowd howled, and the others followed suit. I couldn't believe that I was a coolie, and I could still be the director of the factory one day?

    Luo Zining waited for them to finish calling before continuing, "But there is one condition."

    These people were stunned again, and when they heard the conditions, they subconsciously felt that it was definitely not their turn.

    Luo Zining: "The first point is to recognize characters. The second point is that the husband and wife must both be employees in the factory, otherwise they can only be promoted to the position of team leader, and there is no need to think about it. But it also depends onIt depends on the situation, if a person is very capable, but he is not married or has never wanted to get married, he can also be promoted, but the promotion of a married person must add the conditions I mentioned before."

    Everyone heard this condition, "What's the matter, now my wife and I are working in the factory, I move bricks and she washes dishes in the cafeteria, can I also be a factory manager in the future?"

    After he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter. Luo Zining said seriously: "Everyone, don't laugh at him. I said that as long as you are willing to work hard, everyone has a chance, but you have to learn to write hard. You have to be a factory manager."Learn to read."

    After this meeting, the boss Qiao went to tell his younger brothers, and his younger brother Qiao Xiaojiu said that he would become a teacher to teach people to write.

    He has so many brothers above him, and everyone orders him. Now that he can teach others as a teacher, he feels that he has finally stood up.

    Boss Qiao had no choice but to go, "Go if you like, but don't mess around, this is a major matter assigned by the princess, and we must do well to repay our benefactor."

    "I know, I'm sure I won't mess around, brother, don't worry." Qiao Xiaojiu happily thought about what she was going to teach, and even pestered her mother to make herself a robe like a scholar's,Although their parents asked them to read and practice calligraphy before, they just wanted them to be able to write. Don't be blind, but they never thought about letting them take the imperial examination. When Qiao Xiaojiu was studying, his mother made a robe for him. His motherI didn't even do it for him, and now I finally agreed.

    In less than half a month, the factory's elementary school started. Later, Luo Zining went to take a look by chance, and found that there were not many people inside, only about twenty people.People who cannot be factory managers.

    He walked over and patted the young man on the shoulder: "Young man, you know that you are very promising, and you will definitely be the factory director in the future."

    The young man was very happy, and the rest of the people also showed their homework to the princess, and all of them were praised by the princess. At this time, they felt that whether they could be promoted or not was secondary, and getting a compliment from the princess was the most important thing in their life.happy thing.

    The small inn over the winery has also been built. Although it is said to be small, it is actually smaller than the three-story luxury inn he expected, but it is well-equipped with living rooms, single, double, and triple rooms.Chase shop, and a place where goods can be stored and horses and livestock can be fed.

    And it's not expensive, Datong shop is two yuan per person, single room is more expensive, ten yuan a night, two or three people is six to seven yuan.

    If this price is put in other cities, it is almost free. There is no inn at this price, but the conditions here are poor and the income is low. It is not bad to have this price.

    Next to the inn is a small restaurant, which sells everything, cheap dry food, steamed buns, noodles, etc., as well as expensive stir-fried vegetables, and also sells wine and appetizers. The most distinctive thing in it is tofu.

    Tofu nao for breakfast, stewed tofu, tofu soup, or tofu mixed with cold dishes at noon and evening.

    At the beginning, the merchants who came here to buy wine were still thinking, what delicious food can be found here in the backcountry, so they can make a living.

    At the beginning, when the waiter in the shop recommended tofu, those businessmen waved their hands and said that it was a broken thing in a small place, and they had never heard of it, so don’t.

    This store was handed over to Zhao Xiaoyu, just for Zhao Xiaoyu to practice, let her work part-time, just like he managed the three factories, let Zhao Xiaoyu manage the people under him to do things, and she can direct.

    It just so happened that Zhao Xiaoyu came over to check the situation in the shop that day, and when she heard that the man looked down on tofu, she asked the waiter to bring over a bowl of tofu nao, and she sat in the most conspicuous place in the shop and ate the tofu nao.

    Although those businessmen looked down on Tofu Nao, they were curious and glanced at the food in Zhao Xiaoyu's bowl.

    Then they saw a bowl of white and tender things, like chicken cakes, but they were too similar, as if they were smoother and tenderer. Zhao Xiaoyu also demonstrated two ways to eat, one bowl was divided into two small bowls, and one small bowlThe bowl is sweet and the small bowl is salty. She likes to eat both, and eats them with relish.

    A man next to him looked hungry, so he asked the price, and it was only a few pennies a bowl, so he immediately asked for a bowl to try.

    Others also laughed at him for not eating good food, and he became so greedy when he saw little girls eating.

    The man was a little annoyed at being ridiculed, but he couldn't pull his face away. When the food was really served, he took a bite, his eyes lit up instantly, and ignored the ridicule of others, he drank a large amount of food one after another.bowl.

    Seeing how delicious his food was, the other people tried to ask for a bowl, and then there was no voice in the room, and everyone focused on eating, and some people even asked for a bowl.Licked clean.

    Someone asked Xiaoer after eating a bowl, "What is this made of? It's so delicious?"

    Xiao Er smiled and said, "This is our shopkeeper's exclusive secret recipe, so we can't tell others."

    Although it's a pity that they didn't hear what it was made of, they are all businessmen, and they also know that the secret recipe cannot be passed on to the outside world, otherwise everyone knows how to do it, and how can his family make money.

    Someone licked his mouth and saw the menu on the wall, "Is the stewed tofu, fried tofu, dried tofu, and tofu mixed with shallots written on the wall the same as tofu?"

    Xiao Er smiled and replied: "Each has its own taste. This tofu originally has the same taste, but if you change the recipe, it will have another taste. You will know it after you taste it."

    When they heard this, their first reaction was that Xiao Er was talking big, but after thinking about it, they also tried sweet tofu nao and salty tofu nao just now, they are both the same thing, but the taste is very different.

    Some people can't wait to order dishes just after breakfast, wanting to taste what other tofu recipes are like.

    But they didn't dare to order more, fearing that the taste would not be as good as expected and they would lose money. Someone suggested: "Why don't we put all the tables together, let's order one dish each, and taste each other."

    "That's a good idea. His dishes are pretty big, and it's definitely enough for us to eat." These people ordered a dish each, and ate together. They also ordered a jug of wine, and ate and drank together.

    When the tofu dish was served, they were dumbfounded. The tofu was cut into squares, which was different from the smooth and tender tofu nao just now. Is it delicious?

    Someone scooped up a spoonful of tofu in tofu soup. The taste of tofu in tofu soup is different from that of tofu.Each has its own advantages.

    Other dishes are also delicious. This tofu is delicious whether it is cooked, boiled or fried.

    Even the shallot mixed with tofu, just put a little salt and sprinkle a handful of shallots, it can be so delicious.

    They really want to buy this secret recipe. If they take this secret recipe back to open a store, they will send it out.

    They will not be as stupid as this shopkeeper. A dish only sells for a few pennies, which is the price of cabbage. They think that the dish is ready, put it on the plate, pack it, and people will buy it for tens of taels or hundreds of taels.

    There really was a man who dared to ask the waiter in the shop, "Is this secret recipe for sale? I'll spend one thousand taels of silver!"

    After he finished speaking, the people around him laughed at him: "Drink too much and play like a drunk? You want to buy such a good secret recipe for one thousand taels, don't dream."

    After Zhao Xiaoyu went back, he told Luo Zining about this as a joke. After hearing this, Luo Zining slapped his thigh: "He is really willing to buy the secret recipe for 1,000 taels? Go and ask, is there any more?"People buy it? Tell them to put together a list, ten people will work together, and there will be teaching and a meeting.”

    Zhao Xiaoyu was dumbfounded: "Princess, are you really going to sell this secret recipe? This is the only one. In the future, how many people will come to eat this dish, and we can make more money. Don't worry about it, wangfeiah."

    "We are so far away, except for those who go to business, who else is willing to come? It's better to sell the secret recipe, one thousand taels for one person, ten thousand taels for ten people, this tofu is perishable, and it can't be like wine.Ship it out and sell it.” There are no planes or trains, the transportation is inconvenient, too few people can come, and they can’t be transported out, and it’s impossible to develop tourism through tofu, so it’s better to sell the secret recipe.

    Besides, for novelty things like this, he has as many as he wants, sells this, and others.

    After listening to Luo Zining's words, Zhao Xiaoyu felt that it made sense. It couldn't be turned into a secret recipe for money, so what a good secret recipe, it's better to sell it to make a quick buck.

    "I'll go to the inn tomorrow and talk about it, see if anyone wants to learn it, maybe I can get a higher price." Zhao Xiaoyu thought that since he wanted to sell this secret recipe, he would sell it at a higher priceI don't suffer.
