After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Shopkeeper Wu sent someone to deliver the documents from the government after they passed Minglu.

Considering the current situation of Yan Qingqing's family, shopkeeper Wu said that the contract could be implemented in half a year.

Yan Qingqing was worried about this matter. After all, Jinsheng Pavilion required a lot of goods. Although these headdresses were relatively simple to make and did not require much expertise, she always had to have time to prepare them.

Of course, Shopkeeper Wu is not without requirements. Those bow ties were sold so hotly a few days ago that many people want them.

Shopkeeper Wu took the opportunity to propose that Yan Qingqing would supply a certain number of bows to Jinsheng Pavilion during this period. The materials would be provided by Jinsheng Pavilion and the labor would be provided by Yan Qingqing, at a cost of six cents each.

Yan Qingqing immediately agreed upon hearing this. Firstly, she has time to train people, and secondly, she can make some money during this time.

Thinking of this, Yan Qingqing immediately went to the village chief's house.

In her previous life, Yan Qingqing was very good at dealing with these kinds of human relationships. As a widow now, she still needs help to gain a foothold in Canghe Village.

Li Kaishan is quite prestigious in the village, so it would be best for him to come forward in this matter.

When Yan Qingqing arrived at the village chief's house, Li Kaishan was preparing to go out. When he saw Yan Qingqing coming, he quickly greeted him: "Xiang Pingniang is here, come in and sit down!"

Mr. Jiao, who was feeding the chickens at the side, put down what he was holding and enthusiastically took Yan Qingqing's hand and said, "Oh, Qingqing, you are a very busy person. Why do you have time to come to my aunt's house?"

Li Kaishan and his wife have matured with age, and they have seen clearly these days. They know that Yan Qingqing is capable, and they come from the same school, so they are naturally willing to be friends.

Yan Qingqing replied playfully: "Auntie, she blames me for not being diligent enough."

Mrs. Jiao hurriedly said: "How can you do that? Auntie, I know it's not easy for you to have a business with several children. You're not like those idle ladies in the village."

Yan Qingqing felt a little moved after hearing what Jiao said. Since coming to ancient times, Jiao was the only one who said that her life was not easy.

Although she is the soul of modern people, it is really difficult for her these days. It can be said that you have to worry about everything before you finish your meal.

But fortunately, life has improved now. Yan Qingqing does not dwell on the past and said straight to the point: "Actually, I came here today to ask the village chief for help."

As soon as Li Kaishan heard that he was looking for him, he immediately asked: "What's the matter? Tell me! As long as my uncle can do it, I won't have any problem."

Yan Qingqing told her about her cooperation with Jinsheng Pavilion.

After hearing this, Li Kaishan sighed at Yan Qingqing's good skills and said gratefully: "Niece-in-law, why are you asking your uncle for help? You are clearly asking your uncle to send favors."

Such a good thing, as long as the idle women and children in the village don't rush to do it when Yan Qingqing opens his mouth, there is no need for him, the village chief, to step forward.

Yan Qingqing is completely trying to show face to him, the village chief.

Therefore, Li Kaishan no longer calls Xiang Pingniang, but directly calls his niece-in-law, and the closeness is obvious.

Yan Qingqing added: "Uncle village chief, you are the most prestigious in the village, so it is most appropriate for you to come forward in this matter.

And I have follow-up plans. I will definitely build a workshop in half a year. The people who will work will definitely be people from our village first.

In addition, I heard that next year I will be elected as a new member. I hope that you, the village chief, will be more confident by then. "

The Great Yan Dynasty stipulated that each village should have a village chief, and five villages should have a village chief, also called Li Zheng.

Li Kaishan was shocked after hearing this. Being an official is every man's dream, and he was no exception.

If he can achieve an upright position and have much greater power, then he can get a salary of two taels of silver every year.

Of course, the competition in Lizheng is also fierce, and it needs to be investigated from many aspects. The most important thing is to look at the economic strength of a village.

Yan Qingqing is not very clear about these, but has a general understanding.

But this does not prevent her from painting a big cake for Li Kaishan. Only in this way will Li Kaishan wholeheartedly help Yan Qingqing do what she wants to do.

Finally, Yan Qingqing explained her requirements for recruiting workers. The initial quantity was not large, and she only needed some young girls and wives who were good at needlework.

Moreover, Yan Qingqing also wants to cultivate a few talented people from these people who can take on big responsibilities in the future.

Li Kaishan agreed immediately.

Yan Qingqing returned home and called Yuan Huiniang and the others over and told her what she had discussed with the village chief.

Yuan Huiniang smiled and said: "Mom, you can make the decision on this matter."

Yan Qingqing shook her head and said: "Since this industry has been given to you three, you must participate from the beginning.

I have given you the general direction, but you still need to make up your mind on the specific details.

When the village chief lets the news out, you three will have the final say on who to choose.

But when the time comes, there will definitely be people who seek relationships through the back door. You have to control this yourself, and you have to know who can be used and who cannot be used. "

Yan Qingqing has made her words very clear to the three of them. If they can't understand anymore, Yan Qingqing can only say that they are stuck in the mud and can't hold up the wall.

In the afternoon, many villagers came to Yan Qingqing's house to inquire about news. They all wanted their eldest daughter and daughter-in-law to come and work. Thinking that even earning two cents a day is better than being idle.

Yan Qingqing did not show up, and the whole matter was left to Yuan Huiniang and the others.

In the evening, Yuan Huiniang told Yan Qingqing that they had been selected. There were fifteen people in total, all of whom were more diligent and skillful people in the village.

After Yuan Huiniang finished speaking, Li Xiniang said: "The third aunt has always been a good female celebrity, and she also took the initiative to sign up this time. I discussed it with my sister-in-law and planned to let her come too."

Yan Qingqing of the Xu family quite recognized it and was willing to give her a chance, but after all, she was eating from the same pot as Mrs. Li, so she reminded her: "I don't have any objections to your third aunt, it's okay to let her do the work. , but you have to ensure her position.

Everyone who works in our home must sign a confidentiality agreement. If anyone dares to cause trouble in private, he will be prosecuted. "

After listening, the three people said that they must convey it to these people.

Just after breakfast the next day, the door of Yan Qingqing's house was full of people, all of whom Yuan Huiniang and others thought were good-looking women.

Yan Qingqing glanced at Widow Liu and saw that Widow Liu was there. It wasn't that Yan Qingqing paid much attention to this person, but that Widow Liu spoke to her in a weird way last time at the edge of the field. Although it wasn't a big deal, Yan Qingqing still felt uncomfortable.

But since Yuan Huiniang had already chosen the Liu family, she couldn't push him away, so she wanted to observe and observe first.

Yan Qingqing let people enter the yard, and asked Yuan Huiniang to tell them the rules first. They were paid fifteen cents a day. Those who were willing to work could stay, and those who were unwilling to work could leave.

When everyone heard that they were being paid fifteen cents a day, no one was willing to leave. These days, an adult laborer might not be able to earn fifteen cents a day.

At this moment, everyone was truly grateful to Yan Qingqing. Even if they were asked to sign a confidentiality agreement, no one would be unwilling.
