Chapter 249 Preparing to Set Up a Workshop
The news that the new prefect was trying cases in the Datong County government office soon spread throughout Chenzhou. Many people who had also suffered injustices also rushed to Datong County, so that the number of cases that Xie Yanzhi had to try not only did not decrease, but increased instead. Most of the cases involved lives, and the number of officials implicated was countless.

For this reason, Wei Chengyi had to leave home again and go to the provincial capital to take charge in person, and this time he also took dozens of guards with him. There was no other way, as too many people were involved this time, and their manpower was beginning to be stretched.

"Yuanyue, this matter is your responsibility. The first batch of porcelain bottles must be fired within three days."

Wei Chengyi had his own things to do, and Shen Xiangwan was not idle either. The next day, she took out some drawings and asked Yuanyue to find a kiln to burn special porcelain bottles. The ointment for sale must not be packaged in large and small pottery jars like it was for Yue Ruyan and the others. If the goods were to be sold at a good price, the outer packaging was also very important. If the glass workshop was not too busy, she even wanted to have someone make glass bottles.

"Yes."

Putting away the blueprint, Yuan Yue was about to leave, but after taking a step, she turned around and said, "Madam, you are not going out, are you?"

There is no definite news from Yinyue Tower yet. Before leaving, Second Master repeatedly instructed that Madam must be well protected. She didn't want Madam to go wandering around as soon as she left. If something unexpected really happened, Second Master would skin her alive, wouldn't he?

"will not."

"Really?"

Yuanyue was still worried. Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but hold her forehead. Was she so untrustworthy?

"Okay, you go first, I'll keep an eye on Wanwan."

Seeing this, Mu Yunran smiled and stepped out to smooth things over. It was no wonder that Yuanyue didn't believe Wanwan. Who made her have a criminal record? She had heard that the last time Brother Yi left, Wanwan left right after him.

"Subordinates retire."

Yuanyue seemed to realize that he had overstepped his authority, so he suppressed his worries, bowed and walked out.

"As for it?"

When they were the only two left in the small study, Shen Xiangwan murmured helplessly that, thanks to them, she felt like a fragile porcelain doll.

"They are doing this for your own good. Regardless of whether the Dog Emperor's Dragon Shadow Guards have gone silent, the Silver Moon Tower is indeed in a difficult situation before we receive any confirmed news."

Walking over and sitting down beside her, Mu Yunran's words of comfort were also filled with unmistakable worry. For Yin Yue Tower to be able to gain a foothold in the world, it must have a certain foundation. They killed their people in public, so maybe they have been hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, not to mention that the Dog Emperor's Dragon Shadow Guards were still eyeing them covetously.

"Okay, I promise I won't leave the village unless necessary."

With her intelligence, how could she not understand the worry in her words?

Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but sigh, and stood up with his hands on the armrests of the chair: "Let's go and find Uncle Zhao."

"what?"

Mu Yunran was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and asked: "What do you want to see Uncle Zhao for?"

"What do you say?"

Giving her a look that told her to guess, Shen Xiangwan walked out. Mu Yunran thought about it and seemed to have guessed something, so he followed her with a smile.

During this period, the construction projects at home have never stopped. The cement road has been built outside and connected to the official road. Houses on the opposite side of the ditch have also risen from the ground. In addition to the papermaking and printing workshops on the right, there are five workshops in total, but they have not been put into use yet. Behind the workshops are rows of warehouses, covering a very large area, which is enough for their use.

"What? You're hiring again?"

Hearing her request, Zhao Dashan jumped up in surprise and even forgot to chop the pig grass.

"Well, we plan to recruit 50 people, regardless of gender, as long as they are efficient. The wages will be paid monthly, 800 wen per person per month, just like the papermaking and printing workshops. You can rest for four days a month, and you can decide your rest time. Just let the manager know in advance." "Really?!"

Both men and women are OK?

And the wages are the same as in papermaking and printing workshops, and you can have four days off every month without any deductions in pay?

Zhao Dashan's eyes widened with excitement. Aunt Wang beside him couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Wanwan, do you think I can do it?"

"No problem. If Aunt Wang is willing to come, I'll let you be the housekeeper for one and a half taels of silver a month."

As the village chief's wife, Aunt Wang still has a certain prestige in the village. She is more than qualified to be a manager. Shen Xiangwan is eager for her to help.

"really?!"

One and a half taels of silver a month, that's nearly twenty taels a year. Aunt Wang couldn't help but widen her eyes. If she was just asking tentatively before, now she is really tempted.

"Well, I plan to divide the fifty new recruits into five groups of ten, each with a manager. However, the managers selected in the early stage are only temporary, and whoever has greater ability will be promoted in the future."

There is basically no technical content in making ointment, as long as you master a certain dosage. In order to prevent the formula from being leaked, she plans to start an assembly line, with one group responsible for one procedure, and finally fill it uniformly and send it to the store for sale.

"Okay, I'll go."

Since all the villagers could be managers in the future, she could do it too, so Aunt Wang made the decision without much thought.

"it is good."

Shen Xiangwan nodded readily, then turned around and said, "Uncle Zhao, I'm going to trouble you again with the recruitment. It will start at 7:00 tomorrow morning. Please sign up in the open space over there at the workshop. First come, first served. We will stop when we have recruited 50 people."

"It's not a big deal. We are so happy that you can think of such a good thing for the village."

Waving his hand, Zhao Dashan thought for a moment and then asked, "Are you sure there is no gender restriction? Are there any age or other restrictions?"

It was a good thing to be able to help her, and he didn't want to mess it up.

"Um···"

Shen Xiangwan did not respond immediately. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "It doesn't matter if you are male or female. The age should be between 15 and 45. I want to set up a perfume workshop for people to apply on their faces and bodies. We also need to pay more attention to hygiene."

After he said that, Shen Xiangwan decisively added an age limit to prevent the elderly and children from coming and wasting everyone's time. As for hygiene, she had already taken it into consideration and was not afraid to tell them in advance that people who pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene on a daily basis and those who only pay attention to it at the last minute are definitely different, and they can be identified through certain details. She will personally preside over the recruitment at that time.

"Okay, as long as there is a standard, I will definitely get it done for you."

Nodding, Zhao Dashan patted his chest and made the assurance.

"Then I'll trouble Uncle Zhao."

As they spoke, Shen Xiangwan and Mu Yunran exchanged glances, and they both stood up at the same time. They exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Zhao Dashan and his wife personally saw them to the door. They watched their figures disappear from their sight before they turned around one after another.
