Chapter 943: Alternating Good and Evil

Master Lu, the clerks, the head of the village and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. However, Head of the village Miao felt very regretful. Why didn't the Qin family let the female workers work night shifts?

If the Qin family did this, he could point it out publicly, saying that it was unreasonable to let female workers work night shifts, and then he, Miao Lichang, would become famous overnight.

If he could gain the favor of Master Jing or other young masters and students, his Miao family would be able to leave the countryside and settle down in the provincial capital and become residents of the provincial capital.

No, you should stop for a while and don’t let yourself get stuck in daydreaming.

Dangdang Dangdang!

Qin Ying struck the gong, while Aunt Qin Liu shouted, "Silence! Listen to what your master has to say. This concerns your interests, so you all must listen carefully. Don't interrupt me. If you don't hear everything and keep asking questions, my Qin family won't bother repeating it to you!"

Everyone was startled and nodded quickly: "Yeah, yeah!"

I dare not speak anymore.

Qin Xiaomi said, "The female workers' starting time is always half past the chen hour, and the finishing time is the first quarter of the shen hour, for a total of three and a half hours."

"Three and a half hours? Doesn't that mean it's only half a day's work?!" This time it was Master Lu who exclaimed.

In his half-life, Old Lu had done some light work, but he had never seen anyone get a full day's pay for only working three and a half hours a day.

Ying Zilin, Lu Qian, Shi Songxin and other students were also shocked. Risking being publicly scolded and thrown out by the Qin family girl, Shi Songxin asked: "Boss Qin, is it really not a loss to run a business like this?"

Qin Xiaomi: "From the morning till the afternoon, plus the time it takes to get to and from the herbal medicine workshop, it takes up almost the entire day. The women workers work long hours already. If a difference of a few hours causes the workshop to fall into financial trouble, there are only two possibilities: one is that the owner is incompetent, and the other is that this workshop shouldn't exist in the first place."

She looked at Shi Songxin and said, "It has nothing to do with the female workers, but with the incompetence of the workshop owner."

presumptuous!

The girl from the Qin family actually looked down on him openly!

Shi Songxin was angry again, but he didn't dare to speak loudly to the Qin family girl, otherwise he would be thrown out in public again.

Qin Xiaomi's policy of preferential treatment for workers really gave the faces to the young masters and students from the noble families present.

Even Ying Zilin felt his face burning... This was because all the properties of the aristocratic and noble families required workers to be on duty around the clock.

If you want to leave work, you have to report to the supervisor before you can leave. Those who leave at the appointed time will not only have their wages deducted, but will also be whipped in public.

It is for this reason that the businesses of the aristocratic and official families can obtain the greatest profits.

If the Qin family girl runs the business like this, even if she can make a profit, it will only be a small profit of less than 20%.

But how could the nobles and officials care about such a small profit?

If the profit is not 50%, the workers have to be squeezed to death until the profits increase significantly, otherwise it is considered poor management.

Qin Xiaomi continued, "All those working during the day will work according to this time period. This is the working time for the first period."

"However, the processing of some medicinal materials cannot be stopped, so there is a second working period. The working time is from the first quarter of the afternoon to the end of the morning. The workers who work in the second period are all men."

These words silenced everyone present.

Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, Uncle Qin, Aunt Qin, and even Aunt Qin Liupo, who was as thick-skinned as a city wall, felt a little embarrassed: Xiaomi girl has such a dark heart!

The daytime work lasts for three and a half hours.

She has to work eight and a half hours at night. Eight and a half hours. Master Lu thinks she is suitable to be a supervisor in the mine.

Qin Xiaomi explained, "Originally, the workshop planned to work in three time periods, but in the cold winter, it's not convenient to have the workers work at night. So we simply have daytime and nighttime work, saving everyone the hardship of working at night."

"But everyone can rest assured that most male workers also work during the day. There are not many people working at night. At night, the male workers will be arranged in batches to sleep for at least an hour and a half to replenish their energy."

"Night work is a shift system. Every male worker will take turns working the night shift, so no one will lose out."

"Those who work at night will be paid an extra ten coins per day."

"If I give you ten cents more, won't the monthly wages soar to one or two taels of silver? Besides, we take turns working the night shifts, so no one gets any advantage. We can even sleep for an hour and a half at night, which is equivalent to getting an hour and a half of wages for free! I can do it, boss. I'm willing to work the night shift!" The person who shouted this was Miao Jinke.

His life got better because of the Qin family, so he had to support the Qin family.

"That's right, it's indeed possible. The monthly salary is one tael and two qian of silver, which is comparable to the monthly salary of a shop owner. If anyone is not willing to do so, just give up the position and I will find someone from Kaihe Village to fill it." He Wangtian said that he really hoped that someone would quit so that the people in his village could get jobs.

Seeing this, the village heads became anxious and frantically winked at the villagers, urging them to agree quickly and not to get angry and say they didn't want to do it.

The male workers who passed the interview quickly expressed their willingness: "Boss, we are willing to do it!"

Dangdang Dangdang!

When the gong sounded, everyone became quiet.

Qin Xiaomi added, "Besides that, if you're sick and the workshop doctor confirms you're truly ill, you can take sick leave. You'll still be paid during your sick leave."

My dear sage, you didn't fire me when I was sick and couldn't go to work, but you even paid me?

Is the Qin family girl kind or evil? She's so good and evil that they can't understand her!

"The workshop also helps orphan workers and widowed workers who need to support their families. Pregnant female workers will have their workload reduced and will not have to work for one month before and two months after giving birth, and they will still receive full wages."

"For male workers, if their wives give birth, they can receive two months of paternity leave and full wages."

What the hell?

"Is this human language? Why can't I understand?!"

"I don't understand either. What does this mean? Giving female workers leave and wages for having children is fine, but why are men also given leave and wages when they don't have children? Does the Qin family have too much money and nowhere to spend it?"

"Mr. Qin, did you make a slip of the tongue?!" Ying Zilin asked...Daughter of the Qin family, if you made a slip of the tongue, please nod your head quickly, otherwise you will have to waste a huge amount of endless money.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, did you make a slip of the tongue?" Village chief Zhou also hurriedly reminded... Although it is a good thing that benefits the villagers, once this door is opened, it will be a bottomless pit.

Dangdang Dangdang!

Qin Liupo felt as if her heart had been ripped out, and the pain of blood gushing out was unbearable, but she still had to shout, "Quiet down, let your boss talk! You just interrupt him all day long and waste his time!"

Woo woo woo, kick them all out and let me do it. I want to put all of Xiaomi's money into my own pocket!

Everyone couldn't calm down, but they all quieted down and looked at Qin Xiaomi with burning eyes... Oh my God, what other shocking words can you say?

Qin Xiaomi: "Pregnancy and raising children has never been the sole responsibility of the wife. As a man, you must shoulder more responsibility and not be a hands-off boss. That's why the herbal medicine shop gives male workers vacations and wages, allowing them to also shoulder the responsibility of raising children."

"Male workers must take paternity leave. If anyone refuses and insists on coming to work, the herbal medicine workshop will fire them... These rules are written into the work regulations."

"Uncle and aunt, please go to the work regulations."
