Chapter 945: Reclaiming the Land with a Child

"Hey hey hey!" The village heads went to check the work regulations.

Because the herbal medicine industry involves human lives, the herbal medicine workshop has many rules and regulations, as many as one hundred major ones, and dozens of additional minor clauses;

If you violate work regulations, the punishment will be extremely severe.

For example: "If an employee's method of preparing medicinal materials is incorrect, resulting in the ineffectiveness of the medicinal materials, at the very least, they will be required to pay ten thousand taels of silver as compensation and report to the authorities. At the worst, the Qin family will sue the employee in the capital and implicate the employee's entire family!"

This, this, this?

The village heads were all terrified and looked at Qin Xiaomi... Isn't it too much to kill our entire clan with one move?

Qin Xiaomi: "Everyone, this is to prevent some people from paying high prices to the workers to deliberately fail to prepare the herbs, in order to ruin the reputation of the Qin family's herbal medicine workshop and make it unable to operate. Therefore, the punishment must be so high to have a deterrent effect."

"Reasonable, reasonable!" Village Chief Zhou and Clan Chief Lu supported in unison, and then pointed to the other village chiefs: "If you feel the punishment is too severe, you can take your villagers away. Signing the contract is a voluntary act, and the Qin family will not force you to sign it."

The village heads remained silent, but hundreds of workers shouted, "Village head, we are willing to sign. We will never be bribed. Even if they give us 100,000 taels of silver, we will not help them harm the Qin family!"

Oh, one hundred thousand taels of silver?

Some students scoffed in their hearts: Have you, the lowly people, ever seen a hundred thousand taels of silver? How dare you say such things!

The villagers had never seen so much silver, but did this affect their ability to speak harshly? No, it didn't.

"It's very reasonable. I, Old Niu, have no objection to these work regulations with extremely high penalties." said Niu, the village chief of Niutoupo Village.

The other village chiefs echoed: "We have no objection."

Village Chief He added: "No matter how outrageous the punishment is, as long as the workers don't do anything wrong first, nothing will happen. These work rules are very safe."

"That's right, there's nothing wrong with Master Qin's work regulations. As long as we are kind and righteous, nothing will happen."

but……

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, this rule prohibits workers from making frivolous remarks or verbally attacking other workers in a joking manner. Violators will be fired, and in serious cases, they will be reported to the authorities for investigation. Isn't this punishment too severe?" asked several village heads.

Many workers also think this rule is unreasonable.

What do you say?

Even if he's a country guy, he might not beat his wife, but who hasn't made a few dirty jokes?

Qin Xiaomi said, "This punishment is not severe at all. Rumors can kill people, and there are so many female workers in the herbal medicine workshop. If someone makes a joke and spreads it, and the villagers believe the rumor is true, what will happen if my female workers jump into the well because of it? Will you pay with your lives?"

"Deputy village heads, all workers, you all have wives, daughters, or granddaughters. Do you play frivolous jokes on them at home?"

"You won't, because you will feel bad for your wife and daughter. You also know that it is wrong to do so and it hurts the person being joked about."

"So, since we know that jokes and frivolous words can hurt people, why don't we stop it?"

"Even if you don't stop it, my herbal medicine shop will definitely stop it. This work rule will not be revoked. If you disagree, you can leave now before signing the contract!"

Damn it, if you can do it, fine. If not, get out. Qin Xiaomi is really fed up with this kind of "opening up wasteland with a baby". It's tiring.

"Mr. Qin is right. My Zhou family has no objection!" Seeing that she was getting impatient, the old village chief Zhou immediately supported her.

Chief Lü, Village Chief He, Village Chief Shi, Village Chief Niu, and others also said, "They should be severely punished. We can't let them verbally abuse the female workers and then use jokes to get away with it!"

Among the male workers, some who liked to chat privately were very nervous and kept reminding themselves not to joke around while working, otherwise they would lose their lucrative jobs.

The students thought that this work rule was very reasonable... They were the ladies of wealthy families and had been precious since childhood. Anyone who dared to say disrespectful words in front of them would cause disputes between the two governments.

Of course, young men of equal status would not be so rude as to make fun of young ladies, unless they did so intentionally for the needs of their family.

If this is the case, it proves that the two families have not only torn their faces apart, but have also reached the point of a fight to the death.

The female workers, especially unmarried women like Liu Xiuxiu, were so moved that they almost cried... They felt that their employers cared for them and even cherished them.

Dangdang Dangdang!

Qin Liupo struck the gong and shouted, "Hurry up and read. Stop talking nonsense. It's getting late!"

You're always dawdling, delaying my mother from getting home from work and having a good time.

"Hey, let's take a closer look." The village heads responded.

After half an hour, the representatives from all parties unanimously agreed: "The Qin family's medicinal materials workshop's work regulations are fine. We are willing to accept them and will help supervise the workers in our village to abide by the regulations."

"Listen up, workers from all the villages in Zhenxili. If I, the village head, find out that you make fun of the female workers after returning to the village, I will call Zhou the team leader and have you handed over to the authorities for investigation without the Qin family having to take action!" said the old village head Zhou.

Chief Lu and Village Chief Miao also warned the villagers and workers in their respective areas.

Miao Jinke, He Liuliu, He Wangtian, and the male workers surnamed Chai Zhang and Huang from Gui Village all said, "We must abide by the work rules and never verbally bully others!"

Qin Xiaomi looked towards the female worker.

Cao Fan understood almost immediately and shouted, "We female workers, especially the older women who are married and have children, will not verbally bully, spread rumors, be frivolous, or slander female workers. We will only treat female workers as our own sisters and daughters!"

Cao Fan had been living in the countryside for decades and knew that some elderly hags loved to gossip about unmarried girls!

That guy was hanged by an old woman because of some nonsense she made up... It's an old story. If it weren't for this work regulation, Cao Fanshi would not even remember this old news from her childhood.

The other female workers followed suit, saying, "We will strictly abide by the work rules and maintain good manners. We will never hurt others with our words!"

"Excellent!" Old Master Jing couldn't help but clap his hands and cheer for the workers. "All of you fellow villagers are excellent. If everyone could be as virtuous as you, the morals of the whole world would be much clearer."

"Oh my god, are we being praised by a famous scholar?!" The workers were very happy and secretly resolved to keep their mouths clean and not say anything that would hurt others, otherwise if the famous scholar spread the news, they would be embarrassed throughout the Wei Dynasty.

Old Master Jing bowed to Qin Xiaomi in public and said sincerely, "Mr. Qin not only provides work for the villagers, but also educates them. I am inferior to him. Please accept my respect."

He bowed deeply and paused for at least three breaths before standing up.

The students were shocked when they saw this. One student named Gao Zhenzhi glared at Qin Xiaomi: "Boss Qin, you have indeed made great achievements..."

"Shut up. Our herbal medicine shop is busy signing contracts now. You will be thrown out if you talk nonsense!" Qin Xiaomi was really fed up with these people. They kept interrupting her. If they interrupted again, she would not sign the contract today and would just beat them up.

Gao Zhenzhi: “…”

Xun Lao hurriedly said, "Shut up, don't interfere with the boss's business."

After Master Xun spoke, and with the previous incident of Shi Songxin being thrown out, and the terrifying effect of the new anthelmintic drug last night, the students became sensible and obedient.

Qin Xiaomi snorted coldly, and finally said, "Those who can accept the working hours, wages, work regulations, and punishment can stay and sign the contract!"
