Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

"One more thing," Xia Chuntao hesitated, "We can't let these villagers working as security guards work in vain. What I mean is that they should be paid on a daily basis."

"Isn't this protecting your own family? Why should you pay me? If you don't need it, you don't need it."

"Uncle, can every family have a strong man? If so, then just don't pay him."

Zhang Lichang thought about the situation in the village and realized that not every family could spare someone.

"There is a saying: 'Don't worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.' I must have heard of it. In the same way, the work is equally distributed to every family, and everyone is the same. No one has anything to say, but some families cannot work. So what will other people think?”

"What I mean is that I will contribute the bulk, and each household in Zhuangzi will contribute some of the rest to pay monthly wages to the villagers in the security team."

"Another one, after they receive wages, they will be more responsible and work more diligently in training."

Zhang Lichang understood what Xia Chuntao meant, and after thinking that it was true, he nodded in agreement, but, "Why do you pay the big share? The village belongs to all of us, and we will share it equally according to each household."

"That workshop is not mine. I also want the security team to patrol my workshop and the school on the mountain more. I should be the one to take the lead. Uncle Chief, please don't argue with me. You can do it for everyone later. Ideological work, let our security team start it as soon as possible, this is a top priority."

Xia Chuntao often used the word "ideological work" to say to Zhang Lichang, saying that Zhang Lichang was "the leader who is best at doing ideological work in the village." Every time Zhang Lichang heard this, he was so happy. Dian Dian went to do "ideological work" for the villagers.

This time was no exception. After the two discussed the details, the village chief convened the villagers in the grain drying field to discuss the establishment of a security team. Xia Chuntao repeated what he said to the villagers. Everyone was frightened and everyone refused to agree.

He also said that members of the security team need to learn swordsmanship, bows and arrows, and daggers, and there are special people to teach them. There are many boys who are eager to try it.

Then he said that the security team should train regularly every day and could not miss work. Now the villagers were furious. One said that he had to go hunting in the mountains, another said that his wife had just given birth and had to take care of her, and one even said that her old sow was about to give birth and could not be trained regularly. Anyway, there is everything to say.

It can be seen that everyone is very enthusiastic about the establishment of this security team, but it is impossible for them to not miss work and train every day.

Zhang Lichang remembered what Xia Chuntao said, "With wages, you can be more responsible."

well! After living for most of her life, no girl has thought clearly.

Zhang Li Zhang told the villagers one by one the wages agreed upon with Xia Chuntao as well as the training and patrol time. At that time, many villagers wanted to sign up.

Zhang Lichang is very clear about the situation of each family. According to what he and Xia Chuntao discussed, those with only one adult male in the family will not be accepted, those who are not strong enough will not be accepted, and villagers who are already working in workshops or other places will not be accepted.

In the end, Zhang Lizhang recruited thirty-six people according to the situation of each family. Xia Chuntao prepared the weapons to be used and asked Xiaoqing and Xiaobai to take turns teaching them practical knife skills.

When Xiaoqing and Xiaobai first went to teach them, these men were stunned. How can a woman teach them? Who do you look down on?

These men wanted to give up their studies at that time.

As a result, Xiaoqing beat these men into submission by beating them to thirty-six, and when he was done, he said: "Trash!"

Who can bear this!

It's a pity that you have to endure it if you can't bear it. For a long time in the future, these men will be deeply poisoned by Xiaoqing and Xiaobai. Seeing these two martial arts masters is like a mouse seeing a cat.

When women are fierce, they are still very cruel.

……

After the matters in Daxi Village were sorted out, Xia Chuntao rushed to the "Juhaowu" in Xiyang County without stopping to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival promotions with the guys.

She is planning to hold a small "Mid-Autumn Shopping Festival".

Why is it called small? This time she plans to do it on her own, without linking up with other businesses. It’s a test of the waters. If it is done well, the Spring Festival will be a big one, bringing together several of her good friends and some nearby merchants to create a real shopping festival.

This time she still plans to use the lucky bags as a promotional gimmick. However, what is different from last year is that this time the lucky bags are given as gifts for purchasing to a certain standard, rather than for sale.

She plans to divide the lucky bags into three types: large, medium and small, and put high, medium and low-end products in them according to price, including new products and stock products. Customers will receive different lucky bags for free according to the amount of their shopping.

If you purchase a total of one tael of silver in the three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, or if you make a single purchase of 800 taels of silver on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can receive a small lucky bag worth 300 taels for free.

If you purchase a total of 2 taels of silver in the three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, or if you make a purchase of 1 tael or 7 taels of silver on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can receive a lucky bag worth 700 taels for free.

If you purchase a total of 30 taels of silver in the three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, or if you purchase 20 taels of silver in one purchase on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can receive a big lucky bag worth 1 tael of silver for free.

Xia Chuntao calculated that based on the current selling price, this lucky bag gifting activity is basically equivalent to a 30% discount sale.

In addition, starting from the Mid-Autumn Festival Shopping Festival, there will be lottery draws every day. Everyone is treated equally in the lottery, regardless of the price of the goods you buy. As long as you buy goods that day, you can participate in the lottery.

As before, everyone can win a prize, with at least five eggs. The top prize this time is a banquet worth five taels at "Jinshiju", which can be consumed within ten days after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Five taels is just the cost of an ordinary banquet at "Jinshiju", but for the people of Xiyang County, this is considered a quite decent prize.

After all, "Jinshiju" can be regarded as an upstart in the restaurant scene in Xiyang County. Although it is not as traditional and refined as "Zhenweilou", it is better in that the decoration and dishes are unique. Nowadays, "Jinshiju" is at its peak, and you can't go in for a meal without making a reservation a week in advance.

This grand prize is still quite tempting to ordinary people.

Xia Chuntao plans to give out a grand prize every day starting from the shopping festival. As of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be a total of four grand prizes, worth a total of twenty taels.

Including other winning products, the expenditure on prizes is about eighty taels.

Eighty taels is really nothing to Xia Chuntao now. After all, she just made a small fortune in Rongcheng. However, for "Juhaowu", this promotional expense is really a lot.

Others did not dare to say anything, so Zhao Chunsheng and Liu Quan raised questions.

Xia Chuntao thinks this is good.

What she wants is a shopkeeper who will create profits for her in the future, not employees who will only follow orders. As a shopkeeper, in addition to learning how to manage contacts, you must also have a brain.

The most basic point is to consider the problem from the perspective of the store, rather than following what others say.
