Chapter 72 Female workers
Zhang Chao's expansion plan is to achieve at least 70 to 80 stags of sales every day in the future, and to complete this task, from production to distribution and store sales, it is estimated that at least 300 or 400 people will be allowed to complete.
After all, Zhang Chao's pasta has to be made by hand, and the grain has to be processed by itself, and after it is ready, it has to be distributed and sold by itself. There are still many pasta dishes delivered directly to other restaurants and restaurants. If you only make pasta, you can probably make about 500 steamed buns a day by one person. But with grain processing and delivery and sales, you will have to add a lot of people.
Zhang Chao has eleven stores, and there are also many retailers, many delivery staff, and some salesmen. These are sales staff outside of production, as well as many managers in various links, as well as warehousing and other departments.
The demand for labor in Zhangjia companies has increased significantly.
If the soap and alkaline department and the Engineering Department are included, at least 500 people will be required after the expansion of the Zhang Group.
If there were five hundred workers in later generations, such employment needs were not worth mentioning, and casual advertisements would soon attract people. But these days, it is not possible. These days, it is an era of agriculture-based, and everyone is rooted in the land and is bound by the land.
Even if they were soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, they were only soldiers in wartime and farmers in their spare time. The same is true for craftsmen. They worked part-time as craftsmen during the slack farming period, and their main business was still agriculture.
Now Zhang Chao's workers are mainly villagers in Zhangjiagou. It is also because it happens to be the slack season in winter. Everyone is idle and they have time to come to Zhang's family to do things. If it is spring, who will have time to make yellow buns with you all day long, and there is still farming in the fields. Even women have to raise silkworms and weave cloth at home, cook and wash clothes, and they have no other time at all.
Zhang Chao suddenly realized that his Zhang company was facing a big problem.
These workers can only do temporary workers. Once spring comes, everything revives and spring plows begin, they will have no time to work for themselves.
At that time, could your company be suspended?
This is not possible.
Zhang Chao suddenly envied the Song and Ming dynasties. During the Song dynasty, a large number of people lost their land and had to flow into cities and work in workshops. This was also the case in the middle and late Ming dynasties. Industry and commerce were developed, capital was germinated, and a large number of farmers lost their land and became workers.
It's not possible now. The court is still comparing land and giving land. Many tenant farmers who used to have no land are now more or less distributed to a lot of land.
In the future, we can't recruit those men. They are the main force of agricultural production, and many of them are still soldiers in the palace. They have to spend a lot of time to train every year. In the past, they may have to go to war when encountering wars. Even if they don't fight, they may have to be summoned by the government to serve labor and repair city walls and roads during the slack season.
The Tang Dynasty's order was that every resident had to serve the court for 20 days for free every year. Even if he was a middle-aged man, he would have to serve without paying rent.
If these people work, they will suddenly go to war, suddenly go to the market, suddenly go to the training, suddenly go to work, suddenly go to work, and go to work, no, and go to at least twenty days, one or two months, or even half a year. Where can I find someone to fill it in for a while?
Isn’t my Zhang company taking jujube pills?
Zhang Chao couldn't help but remembered the later generations. There was a labor shortage in a while. The bosses drove Ferrari Porsches to the street to recruit workers.
Unexpectedly, I was just starting to develop and encountered such a serious problem.
If this problem is not solved, my Zhang company can only be a small handicraft workshop, which cannot be developed or grown.
It seems that in history, the British relied on child labor.
Wow, so cruel.
But this seems to be a solution.
In the Tang Dynasty, all people were born into yellow, four years old, sixteen years old, twenty-one is Ding, and sixty years old.
The man started to teach land at the age of sixteen, and the man started to take on renting and mediocre transfers at the age of twenty, until he was sixty. The woman neither taught land nor served in the service.
This is also a big difference in the Sui system. Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, women were taught fields, and slaves and oxen were able to teach fields. Therefore, women, slaves and oxen were also given some lessons.
Later in the Sui Dynasty, slaves and oxen no longer taught the field courses, but changed to one husband and one wife to one bed. The couple taught the fields together and received the courses according to the same bed. The courses paid for the couple were heavier than those of a single male man, because the woman only taught half of the field, but the tax on one bed was almost equal to the tax on two male men.
This led to many men in the Sui Dynasty who refused to get married but would rather be a bachelor than marry, just to avoid heavy taxes.
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, this system was changed, and women no longer granted land or paid taxes.
In some places, the land is wide, and middle-aged men also give up land at half the price, but middle-aged men do not pay rent and only serve some hard work before becoming a senior.
Zhang Chao seemed to see a little opportunity to strengthen his Zhang's company from this.
Men have to farm, fight, train, go to the world, women have to cook, wash clothes, raise silkworms and weave cloth. In the past year, there is rare free time except for the bleak winter days of everything.
Even women are very busy.
The people of the farming family have to grow their own grains and vegetables in the vegetable garden, and they have to raise pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks. Even the ones they wear are made of raising silkworms and woven by themselves.
Muscle and hemp are everywhere in every township, village, front and back of the village. A family of dozens of acres of land may have to take out several acres of land to plant muscle and hemp. In addition to paying grain from the government every year, paying silk and cloth is also an important task.
It is not easy to weave some silk cloth these days. You have to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms, plant hemp and reincarnate him. If you get silk and hemp, you have to spin it into yarn and finally weave it into silk cloth. They all have to be hand-woven day and night.
Many women even had to nod the dim lights at night to weave them in the middle of the night.
I hope these men and women are out of the way, so Zhang Chao put his ideas on the boys and girls.
Those under 21 years old and over 16 years old are called middle-aged men. They can share half of the land, but they don’t have to pay rent for the time being. However, they get about two months of hard work in the county every year, and men who are not yet in junior college will not pick up the soldiers of the government, so they don’t have to go to train for war.
And those girls in their teens have no burden in this regard. They have no power to equalize the fields and do not have to take classes to serve. There are no rules for farmers to show up. They often have to help take care of their younger brothers and sisters at a young age. If they are older, they have to raise pigs and grass, and they have to go to the fields to help with their work, water and food.
Even if he is only eleven or twelve years old, he is already quite sensible and is very good at doing things. Whether it is fighting pigs, chopping wood, or weaving cloth, cooking and washing clothes, he has already been proficient in any of them.
In addition to being thinner, they are actually capable women. Usually at this time, they have already started to come to Tiankui, and then they can start looking for others in a year or two, and they can get married until they are thirteen or fourteen years old.
If the Zhang Group recruits more middle-aged men and girls like this to work in the future, wouldn’t it be worrying about it? Young men under the age of sixteen come to work and don’t have to worry about anything. Middle-aged men come here and take two months off a year to work hard, but as long as there is a pre-arrangement, it will not affect it. It is not as good as those who have children. They have too many things a year and cannot work in the Zhang family for a long time.
Girls are better. They don’t have to accept the hard work for a year or two months. They can be completely from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
Another thing is that if you use these child laborers, you can even reduce your wages.
Made, the capitalists are indeed cruel, and Zhang Chao himself feels a little ashamed. How could he exploit the people like this? But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing you can do.
Unless Zhang Chao can own a large number of slaves, the employment problem will always be a major bottleneck that restricts Zhang's enterprise.
"Sanlang, why don't my little sixth person come to do things? That child is fifteen today. He is like a strong young man. He is very strong and honest. Anyway, he is idle at home, so why not let him do things, have three meals a day and give him some wages."
The third sister spoke.
There was some selfishness in those words.
Xiaoliu is Ke Wu's son. This year, he is actually only thirteen years old, and fifteen is the silence of the year. Xiaoliu is ranked sixth in his generation, so he is called Xiaoliu and has no big name yet.
Now Ke Wu's family works at Zhang Chao's house. Ke Wu is Zhang Chao's eldest disciple. He was just selected as the captain of the kang team by Zhang Chao, and his third sister was also selected as the captain of the steam room team of the catering office by Zhang Chao. The third sister's father-in-law Ke, the chief of the Engineering Department, is also the director of the Engineering Department. Ke Wu's younger brother Ke Xiaoba is also a errand runner-up in the General Affairs Office.
The other three sisters, seven, eight, and nine, are now working in the production team of the catering office.
However, women always like to calculate. Seeing that the profits in the Zhang family are so good, she just wants to bring her son in. As she said, even if she can't earn a few wages, she can at least get enough for three meals a day.
Zhang Chao laughed.
When I was sleeping, someone sent me a pillow.
He was just thinking about how to open this.
Now the third sister is just like a double act, and she takes the initiative to speak for him first.
Zhang Chao deliberately did not take the matter immediately.
Sure enough, there were other women and men in the room who chose to be team leaders. When they heard someone recommending this, they were moved. They quickly said that their brothers and children could also come to help.
Nowadays, every family is a big family. Just look at Zhangjiagou with only about fifty households but more than 400 people know that they are basically three generations living together or even four generations living together. Many brothers live together and do not separate their families immediately. The custom here is that parents are there, and they do not separate their families.
If your parents are not dead and your brothers are separated, that is unfilial. Even if your family often has conflicts in their lives, they cannot be separated.
At the same time, there is no family planning these days, and marriage is early, and women often have to be born from their teens to their forties or fifties. A woman can often divide into more than ten, and if she dies in the middle, six or seven will eventually grow up.
There are many children and it looks lively, but it does increase the burden of life.
If you have the opportunity to let your older children come to the Zhang family to do things, you can also reduce the burden and make some money back.
