The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

On the twenty-eighth day, the newspaper office stopped publishing newspapers, and the bookstores, hot pot restaurants, and Zhuangmengge stores all closed down.

Considering that the few scholars who work in the newspaper office are not from the capital, they all stay in the capital for the New Year, and some guys in the store, who live in the capital and the villages near the capital, can still go home and communicate with them. Some of the family members came to the capital from far away to work during the Chinese New Year, and some were homeless and wandering outside.

Among the shops in his hands, Zhuangmengge was the first to open in the capital, and then opened several other shops one after another. Although these shops have not been open for a long time, they have made a lot of money. Everyone's hard work and hard work are indispensable.In this short period of less than half a year, the silver he invested has basically been recovered. The things in Zhuangmengge are almost huge profits.

Li Wen is not a stingy boss, since everyone earns the money, he also wants to find an appropriate opportunity to reward everyone.So he thought it was the end of the year, and his boss invited the guys to have a New Year's Eve dinner together, and the place was set at Shili Piaoxiang's place, and he had someone notify him half a month ago.

In the winter, it is also lively when everyone gathers to eat hot pot, and the guys from several stores can get to know each other.

So on the twenty-eighth day, Shili Piaoxiang closed its business here, and did not receive guests, but only prepared a few tables of dishes for its own consumption.The shopkeepers and workers from several stores came together, as did several scholars from the newspaper office,

All the people add up to less than 50 people, and they can sit down with several tables of wine.

Among these few shops, only Zhuangmengge recruits girls to work, and the rest of the shops are mostly men.

On this day, everyone got together, people who knew each other sat at one table, a few scholars sat at another table, and those who didn't know each other got together, introduced each other, and got to know each other.

Except for the shopkeepers and guys who usually work in Shili Piaoxiang, there are many people here who have never eaten hot pot, and the guys who work in Shili Piaoxiang, they usually work in the store, so they sit in the store and eat hot pot It was the first time.

Someone said, "Thanks to the boss, we can sit in the store and eat today."

"Our host family is really nice."

No, many people here have worked in many places, and this is the first time they have encountered such a good owner. Not to mention the high monthly payment, the shopkeeper in the store will not find various reasons to deduct them. There are monthly rewards, and of course money will be deducted for those who do not do well.But for rewards, everyone will work hard to do a good job. If it is not as simple as deducting money, they may lose this job.

The month of the twelfth lunar month has the most monthly salary, and this month alone, the salary is twice as much as usual.

When everyone was talking about how good his boss was, Li Wen showed up with someone to invite the employees below to have a New Year's Eve dinner. It was hard for him not to show up as a boss, so he came here specially.

The shopkeepers have all met their boss before, and introduced to the guys below, "...this one is our boss〇''

"Maybe there are people here who don't know me or have seen me. Let me introduce to you here. My surname is Li." Li Wen smiled. The owner behind the store.

Except for a few scholars in the newspaper office who knew Li Liuyuan's identity, the guys below didn't know that their boss was so young, and only a few shopkeepers knew that this one was their boss.

"In the past few months, everyone has worked hard. I know that the three or two months at the end of the year will be very busy. Without you all, the business of several stores would not be so good, so here, I would like to thank all of you people." At this time, Li Wen, the boss, naturally had to make a speech, thanking the employees below for their hard work.

"...This year only opened these few stores in the capital. What I want to strive for is to open the stores outside the capital and other places next year. At that time, everyone here will be the first to reserve If you do well at that time, you will have the opportunity to be transferred to other places to be shopkeepers, so everyone should work hard and do things well." As for the employees who usually cheat and hide, once the shopkeeper in the store finds out, Without exception, people are invited away

When the owner said that they would open the store outside the capital city, everyone in them would have the opportunity to be shopkeepers, and everyone was very excited for a while.

"That's all I want to say, and I won't say much here." Li Wen, the boss, stopped here. He looked at the shopkeepers and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang and Shopkeeper Liu, you shopkeepers , what do you want to say to the guys below, stand up and say something.

And if the guys below have anything to say, they can stand up and talk about it later. If there are good or bad things in the store, and if there is anything that needs to be improved, you can stand up and speak freely and express your thoughts and opinions. "

After handing over the stage to the shopkeeper and the employees below, Li Wen took Bai Yu to sit at the table of several scholars.

When several scholars saw Mr. Li coming, they all greeted him one after another.

Li Wen talked to several scholars with a smile on his face, and asked them about the situation of the Chinese New Year, which made people think that he had no airs at all.Several scholars admired Li Liuyuan from the bottom of their hearts, and they all thanked Li Liuyuan for taking them in, giving them a place to live, and giving them work.

Hearing others thank him, Li Wen smiled and said, "You don't need to thank me, you have to thank yourself, because you are good enough, I kept you to work in the newspaper, you gave me a chance.

"I heard that some of you are preparing for the exam, preparing to take the scientific exam..."

Later, when they talked about the scientific examination, Li Wen also gave some of his opinions. Several scholars listened carefully to Li Liuyuan's speech.

Several shopkeepers took turns to speak out. It was the first time for them to speak in front of so many people after being shopkeepers for so many years. This made them feel a little embarrassed, but at the same time they felt proud that the boss valued them so much. They, let them be the shopkeepers of the store, and the business in the store is booming, and it will get better and better in the future.

After the shopkeepers finished speaking, the girls in Zhuangmengge were pushing each other, and a bold girl stood up and said, "It's hard to find a good job when our girls are away from home. Most of the shopkeepers in the shop don't want us to work as soon as they see that we are girls. Otherwise, they will beat us because they see that we are pretty.

main idea..

"... When we came to Zhuangmeng Pavilion, the Fourth Miss chose us and asked us to stay in the store and do things. We do things in the store, and we can get extra commissions and bonuses every month if we do well. If I take the money home, I can still support my parents, brothers and sisters at home... Our hearts are especially grateful to Miss Fourth for letting us stay and do things..."

The two girls below also stood up and spoke, and what they said was nothing more than thanking the Fourth Miss, thanking Zhuang Mengge, and thanking the boss and so on.In fact, quite a few of them came to Zhuangmeng Pavilion at the beginning, and some left in the middle, so a few of them were able to stay.

It is indeed difficult to find a job for a girl's family outside. Generally, the shop recruits young men to do things, and rarely asks for a girl's family.Otherwise, it's the kind of place that wants girls to sell themselves, and it's all girls' crooked ideas. Shops like Zhuangmengge that recruit girls to work are still regular and clean places, which are rare in this capital city. There are very few of them.

Sitting below, Li Wen also heard what the girls said. He knew that this era is unfair to women, and women have no status at all.However, it happens that no matter what era it is in, women pay no less than men.In fact, there are many jobs in this society that women still need to do, such as weaving, embroidery and other handicrafts. Dazhi's handicrafts are all jobs that need women to do.Women bear children, and nurture children, which cannot be replaced by men.

Obviously women are also an indispensable part of this society, why is the status of women so low?In fact, to put it bluntly, it is just that the scholar-bureaucrats feared that women would overwhelm their men, and listed various precepts to restrict women;But to change the status of women, it cannot be changed overnight, it requires a long period of development later.

After several girls in front stood up and spoke, some men behind also stood up and spoke.

The employees below were talking, and the boss Li Wen was also listening carefully, listening to the thoughts in the hearts of the employees. He noticed that there were a few good employees here. Bai Yu talked about it and reminded the shopkeepers below to focus on training these few people. If they want to open stores outside the capital in the future, there are also talents in reserve that can be used.

After finally waiting for everyone to finish speaking, the next thing is to eat.

The hot soup in the pot boiled, and the whole store was filled with a scent. The meatballs and meat slices were poured down, and they floated up quickly, and they could be salvaged and eaten with sauce.Vegetables are more expensive than meat in this season, and being able to eat fresh vegetables makes people want to cry.

"The meat is enough, you all have a good meal. Eat slowly, I have something to do here, so I will go first." Li Wen didn't stay here for too long, and sent a New Year's greeting to the employees below. After the red envelope, he left with his people, lest he, the boss, stay here, and the employees below would not be able to eat and drink freely.

Several shopkeepers got up one after another to send the owner out.

Li Wen waved to the shopkeepers, got into the carriage, and left.
