Chapter 271: The couple discusses the workshop's employment plan
"I will need a lot of people here in the future, and I am also planning to build another row of dormitories for employees, which are houses specifically for workers to live in. They don't have to sell their bodies, they can just be long-term workers."
Su Wanwan explained that she is not opposed to human trafficking now, after all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
But she also knew that these people might not sell themselves, after all, it had not come to that point yet.
It is the same with signing a long-term employment contract. A long-term employment contract is equivalent to an employment contract in later generations. It is also good to directly sign a long-term employment contract.
Sure enough, when Feng Xiaorou heard this, her eyes immediately lit up. She nodded hurriedly without waiting for her mother's reaction.
"Ma'am, I am willing. I will come again after I send my parents back."
She agreed readily.
In fact, Feng also wanted to stay and work as a long-term worker.
The farmhands could get paid, didn’t have to sell their bodies, and even had a house to live in. It really couldn’t be better.
Even if I go back, I may not be able to live such a good life.
Alas, it would be better if my daughter came alone. She begged to come even though she was too embarrassed. What’s more, if she came, what would happen to the family?
But my daughter is old enough, so won’t she get married?
"You agreed so quickly, have you ever thought about getting married?"
Without waiting for Feng to ask, Su Wanwan chuckled, as if teasing.
"No, I don't know who to marry. As long as I can work, I can pay the marriage tax. I don't have to worry. I'll wait until I'm eighteen."
Feng Xiaorou really never thought about getting married.
The main reason is that she hasn’t met a good and responsible person, and she doesn’t want to settle.
Otherwise, she would be like Wang Cui'e in the village, marrying a man like He Erzhu and would be sick to death.
Feng wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't.
Her daughter is very opinionated. She won't listen to anything she says, so just let her be.
Maybe I can find a good marriage in this workshop or in Daliushu Village.
"Okay then. I'll wait for you to come back."
Su Wanwan thought to herself that she had made the right choice. This girl had an unconstrained mind and she liked her.
"Okay, I will do my best."
Feng Xiaorou had a sad face when she came, but she was so happy when she left.
She is willing to do anything to work with her wife.
If she hurry, she will be back within a month.
The workshop just started operation at that time.
After they left, Su Wanwan began planning to build a row of dormitories behind the workshop.
At that time, whether you come to help with farming or to work in the workshop, you can live there.
If you think about it this way, she has set up a big factory to provide dormitory meals for them.
It would be better to build a canteen and hire aunties to cook.
She is planning to build a large-scale modern industrial zone.
Fortunately, the wasteland was large enough for us.
When Shen Yuan came back, he saw her painting very seriously. She didn't even notice him approaching her.
"What are you drawing?"
As soon as Shen Yuan said this, Su Wanwan was startled and the straight line under his hand bent.
"How come you walk without making any sound?"
Su Wanwan complained, but Shen Yuan had already sat next to her, holding her waist with one hand and taking the paper with the other.
"I'm going to build a row of dormitories on the east side of the workshop, which are small houses, one after another. You see, our workshop will need people, and so will the fields at home. The villagers will definitely need a holiday during the busy farming season."
"Besides, there aren't enough suitable people in the village, so we have to hire people from outside. Then we need a place to live. I plan to build two dormitories here, one for boys and one for girls. It would be best if we could also open a cafeteria."
Su Wanwan told Shen Yuan about her plan. In the past, Shen Yuan always agreed without saying a word, but this time he frowned.
"Are you sure you're only going to hire permanent workers, and not buy any?"
Shen Yuan knew that there was no human trafficking where his wife lived. Even if there were servants at home, they were just nannies and were freelancers. Everyone was equal and it was not shameful to earn money through labor.
But this is not the same as there. Those who have the indenture in hand are the most loyal.
Su Wanwan was stunned. To be honest, she had never thought about this question seriously. Subconsciously, she felt that she was running a business and only needed contract workers. She had never thought about hiring people.
"Wanwan, I mentioned it last time. Why don't we buy a wife? It's perfect. Let's discuss it now."
Shen Yuan knew that his wife had never thought about this question.
A society where everyone is equal is very desirable, but he knows very well that they have not reached that level yet.
The couple always discussed everything together, and Su Wanwan also respected Shen Yuan's opinion, so she turned around and asked calmly:
"Then tell me what you think."
Shen Yuan held her in his arms, and suddenly bent down to kiss his wife's forehead. He grabbed her little hand, and kept stroking the back of her hand with his thumb, and then he spoke:
"Here's what I think. We can have permanent workers and temporary workers, but we can't lack people who buy things ourselves. You also said that our tofu skin workshop doesn't have any skills, so we don't have to worry about others learning from it, so we're not preventing that."
"It's mainly because it's easier to manage if you have your own people. You can divide the workshop into many processes and assign one person to each process. The others can be permanent or temporary workers. This is more conducive to unified management."
Shen Yuan actually didn't like buying people. He also knew that some people would betray even if they had a contract, and some people would be loyal even if they didn't have a contract.
But holding the indenture contract is equivalent to holding the lifeline of those people, and the possibility of betrayal will always be smaller.
He didn't care about anything before, but now that he has such a good family, he started to be cautious.
"The villagers are more reliable. People from outside are probably unreliable. Besides, the villagers have more work to do. You have found business for my uncle's family, so they can't come to help. We need people who are completely loyal to us."
"You've also heard that after Ye Jingxue bought all the land in Wanggang Village, she said they were going to hire people as long-term workers, but in the end everyone was cunning and sly. Thanks to Ye Jingxue's strong power, some villagers were forced to sign indentures and became obedient. Some villagers still haven't been dealt with and are staying on the farm."
Speaking of this, Su Wanwan also sighed, not understanding why Ye Jingxue wanted to buy the land in Wanggang Village.
The people of Wanggang Village are just a bunch of scoundrels.
Even if there is a contract to sell one's body, it may be difficult to deal with it.
No wonder Lin Wenyue always said that she wanted to bring Miss Ye Er to Daliushu Village for a visit, but she never found the time.
It was enough of a headache for her to resolve the issues of the original villagers of Wanggang Village.
What Shen Yuan said made sense. It was hard to tell what kind of people outside were. If they recruited people to destroy the workshop, it would be fine. But if a group of outsiders destroyed Daliushu Village, it would be bad.
For example, this Zhao Yuanyuan. If there are more girls like her, the unmarried young men in Daliushu Village will suffer. Then she and Shen Yuan will become the sinners of Daliushu Village.
