Chapter 302 Workshop Recruits Female Workers
The school's affairs have been basically sorted out, and the textile workshop that Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou have high hopes for can almost start recruiting workers.
After discussing with Bai Jingzhou, Gu Wenxuan planned to entrust Bai Jingzhou's mother Ning Cuizhi to be responsible for the daily management of the workshop.
Ning Cuizhi is a shrewd person, otherwise, with Bai Chong's kind-hearted and charitable nature, their whole family would have been in dire straits long ago because of his excessive spending.
There are so many complicated preparations in the early stages that Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou dare not give up. Later, when the workshop is on track, it will be no problem for Ning Cuizhi to be responsible for the daily management work.
According to the plan of Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou, only about 40% of the female workers in the textile workshop were young girls and wives from their Baijia Village. Of the remaining 60%, 20% were orphans they adopted and female survivors they brought out from the bandit camp, 20% came from Gu Wenxuan's various villages, and the last 20% came from Jiajia Village and other surrounding villages.
Because there are dormitories for female workers inside the workshop, these people can work in the workshop for a long time even if their homes are in other villages.
Most people in other villages were not comfortable with letting their women live in the workshops, so those who came looking for work were basically relatives of the Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan families, such as Jia Guizhi's niece, and married girls from the Gu, Fang, and Bai families, as well as their daughters.
These people trusted their relatives, so when they heard about the workshop recruiting workers, they immediately sent their own girls and wives who met the requirements.
Gu Wenxuan's family and Bai Jingzhou's family did not disappoint the trust of their relatives. Gu Wenxuan personally took the female elders of all the selected girls and wives to see the collective dormitories prepared for them by the workshop.
The house is sturdy, the area is independent, the walls are high, the gate is solid and heavy, the dogs guarding the gate are sleek and majestic, and their casual barks can make the calves of timid people uncontrollably. The security personnel patrolling in the workshop are all women.
The leading security team leader was Jia Guizhi. Only a small number of the women and girls who obeyed her orders were taught by Gu Wenxuan personally. The rest were selected by Jia Guizhi and Jia Yuelan from the women and girls in Jiajia Village.
The women in the hunter's family are not weak at all. More than half of the women in Jiajia Village can go into the mountains to hunt with the men in their family, just like Jia Guizhi.
The wages offered by Gu Wenxuan and others were very attractive, and the security work in the workshop was much less dangerous than hunting in the mountains. Those who were a little older or too young were persuaded by Jia Guizhi to come to work in the workshop in Baijia Village.
In addition to them, there are two girls who are orphans in the security team. Perhaps the shadow left by the war is too great, making them eager to master power and protect themselves. They usually work particularly hard in practicing martial arts.
Gu Wenxuan and Jia Guizhi saw this and after asking for their opinions, they recruited them as security personnel.
Gu Wenxuan called together the other orphans over the age of twelve and asked them if they were willing to learn how to use looms and spinning wheels and if they wanted to work in this industry in the future. If they did, she would arrange for them to work in the workshop as apprentices.
"The workshop provides food and accommodation, and gives workers two sets of work clothes every quarter."
"The salary for regular workers is 800 wen per month, and if they do a good job, they will be rewarded according to the amount of goods shipped. As for you, you can only get 500 wen per month before you become an apprentice, and if you do a good job, you will also be rewarded."
"The workshop needs to work for five hours every day, and everyone can rest for one day after working for ten days."
"If you are unable to work due to something, the workshop will deduct 18 cents a day from your wages. But if you are unable to work due to illness, after the doctor's diagnosis, the workshop will not only not deduct your wages, but will also subsidize 40% of your medical expenses."
Gu Wenxuan had carefully considered the subsidy ratio for medical expenses. If it was too much, it would easily lead to people having bad intentions, while if it was too little, it would not help in reducing the medical burden on workers.
Although Bai Jingzhou and his son are both doctors and can see through someone else's tricks in a second, Gu Wenxuan doesn't want to waste her time.
Gu Wenxuan wanted to solve all the problems that could be solved by the system and prevented once and for all.
After listening to her, the girls all nodded vigorously and said they wanted to.
They really want to have their own skills and a stable income.
Although Gu Wenxuan's family did not treat them badly, they had enough to eat, warm clothes, and a good house, and they could also learn things from Lin Shuzhen, Jia Guizhi and others, but this kind of help from others is ultimately not as reassuring as earning money by one's own ability.
Gu Wenxuan looked at them one by one and saw that their expressions were normal and no one showed anything unusual, so she asked them whether they wanted to sign a ten-year contract or a thirty-year contract.
The girls chose to sign a 30-year contract with Gu Wenxuan without hesitation - this was a stable job and they had to hold on to it.
Gu Wenxuan saw what they were thinking, and said to them with a sigh, "Even if it's only for ten years, if you behave well, I will ask you if you want to renew the contract when it expires."
The girls nodded to show that they understood, but no one jumped out to say that they wanted to change to a ten-year contract.
Gu Wenxuan knew that this was because they were not confident in their abilities and were confused and fearful about their future lives, so they wanted to cling to the life-saving straw handed to them.
This kind of mood could not be changed by just a few words from her, so she did not continue to discuss the term of the contract with them.
After sending these girls away, Gu Wenxuan mobilized all the female survivors and women from the farm families who knew how to spin and weave, and let them try to spin and weave cotton.
After the twenty regular workers carefully selected by Gu Wenxuan arrived, the girls also began their apprenticeship career.
Under the instruction of Gu Wenxuan, they learned from the masters while helping them with odd jobs and giving them a hand.
The women of the Bai family, who had been keeping an eye on the workshop for a long time, rushed to find Bai Jingzhou's family on the day when the twenty regular workers and several security personnel moved into the workshop.
Bai Jingzhou's aunt Wang was as tactless as ever. Others came to Bai Jingzhou's family just to ask for a job, but she came up and said that she wanted to manage the workshop.
Ning Cuizhi would certainly not agree to Wang's outrageous request. She said, "The workshop doesn't lack managers, it only lacks young girls and wives who can spin and weave."
