From the gate of heaven

Chapter 65 [Some leaks and fillings, conscientious boss]

The miners went to work, and Lin Ze began to entertain these scholars.

First, everyone was invited to sit down in the huge conference room next to the factory director's office, and then the servant was asked to go to the back kitchen to get some hot water to make tea, and then served small snacks such as melon seeds, peanuts and rock candy.

Compared with the simplicity and directness of facing the miners, Lin Ze put on some commercial smiles on the faces of these scholars.

"I'm Xia Linze, my name is Ziyi, I have met all my classmates."

"This time I invite you to come here because the coal mine has just opened and some knowledgeable people are needed to manage these miners."

Lin Ze was polite and courteous to these scholars.

The scholars in the main world are worthless, but the social status of the scholars in this different world is quite high, and they need to be given enough respect.

Not to mention, these scholars are just like this, and Lin Ze immediately put on his identity as a scholar, and immediately got everyone's approval.

Coupled with the scene where Lin Ze simply directed hundreds of miners to work, many scholars would not despise Lin Ze because of his age.

Besides, these poor scholars came here this time to find a job, so they were naturally a bit polite to Lin Ze, the boss.

For a while, everyone chatted happily.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Lin Ze gradually got to know the scholars in the field.

There were a total of 24 scholars present, including three scholars.

The youngest is Zheng Xiu, a young scholar in her 20s, and the remaining two are veterans in their 50s and [-]s, who are hopeless.

The others are some old children who are not young, and have some knowledge, but it is also limited.

As a scholar, the means of earning a living are not few.

Copying for others and teaching classes are all sources of livelihood, but when there are more scholars, these livelihoods will be rolled up.

It is difficult to find a sufficient number of students unless they are of a really high level.

Therefore, everyone wanted to come to Lin Ze to find a stable job, and spare time to study while working, hoping to be able to go to high school in the future.

Although among these people, except for Zheng Xiu, there is a high probability that the rest have no hope of being promoted in the imperial examination.

But as a human being, we still have dreams.

Otherwise, wouldn't life be very boring at a glance.

"Since all the students are interested in coming to this mine to find a job, then naturally I welcome you."

"What I want everyone to do is also very simple, that is, to weigh and record the coal dug by those miners, as the basis for my side to pay the miners wages."

"In addition to providing food and housing for the students, the mine also pays you two taels of silver per month. Well, the three scholars will pay an extra one hundred Wen per month."

"The day's plan is in the morning. In order to take care of the study time of the students, the working hours will all start in the afternoon."

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Ze confirmed that these scholars really wanted to come to work, so he turned to the topic.

The wages given were not high, only two taels of silver. In order to take care of the face of the three scholars, they gave an extra one hundred cash.

It seems that it is not as high as the salary that the miners get after working hard, which is a bit sorry for the status of a scholar.

But Lin Ze deliberately asked them to only start working in the afternoon, and the things they were asked to do were very easy, and they were in control of food and drink.

Such easy and decent work with short time is very appetizing to these scholars.

In fact, Lin Ze let them go to work in the afternoon is also a good thing.

In the morning, the miners are concentrating on mining, and usually in the afternoon they will pick the coal back to the warehouse for registration. Even if Lin Ze forces these scholars to work with the miners, they still have nothing to do in the morning.

Sure enough, the scholars present were very satisfied, and they agreed to work here at Lin Ze.

Lin Ze signed employment contracts with these scholars, agreed on salary levels and treatment, and also agreed on a three-month probationary period. Lin Ze has the right to fire them when they make major mistakes in their work.

After three months, Lin Ze will hire them for a long time.

After doing this, Lin Ze personally took these scholars to the dormitory area assigned to them, and asked the servants to bring them bedding and pillows, giving them enough courtesy.

After finishing these tasks, Lin Ze went to the kitchen area.

At this time, many cooks have already organized the kitchen and started preparing lunch.

They themselves also followed Lin Ze's previous instructions, washed their hands, put on custom-made white chef uniforms and hats, and tied their hair up.

"I'll stress it again, you must pay attention to hygiene. If you feed the miners to your stomach, or if you are complained about being short of weight, then don't blame the master for turning my face and refusing to recognize anyone."

Lin Ze inspected the kitchen and nodded in satisfaction when he saw that everyone was doing things according to his previous instructions.

But still a word of warning.

The cooks did not stop their work, but they all replied seriously: "If you want to return to the master, we will definitely follow your orders."

After leaving the kitchen, Lin Ze went to the mining area.

The mining area is an open-pit coal mine, and there is no need for any preparations, just start digging, at least for the time being, there is no need to face the problem of earth and rocks covering coal.

Six or seven hundred miners did not need Lin Ze's instructions, and they were divided into groups of three or five, and each occupied a small area in cooperation with each other, and began to dig coal.

Because of their hard work, these miners who were neat before have turned into black children one by one at this moment.

However, many miners are quite happy to work. While working, they occasionally chat with the people around them.

Lin Ze looked at it for a while, and felt that these miners who were fighting independently were not efficient enough, and maybe they could be replaced with an assembly line operation method.

"Do you want to divide these miners into three processes? A group of people is responsible for digging, a group of people is responsible for loading coal into baskets, and a group of people is responsible for picking and registering the coal in the warehouse."

"No, if they are divided into assembly lines, it is necessary to calculate their salaries separately according to the workload."

"One is that these miners come here for high salaries, and no one is willing to do low-paying and easy jobs. Second, this will increase the workload of statistical data."

“You can assign these miners to fixed groups, let them carry out step-by-step operations internally, and then agree on the rotation steps themselves, and everyone will equally share the benefits brought by the work results.”

Lin Ze thought about it.

Besides that, one should wear a mask and earplugs, the mine is very dusty.

He had forgotten this before.

Then we need to get a batch of gloves, which don't need much good material, but they can effectively protect the miners' hands, so that the follow-up work will not be affected by arm injuries.

It is also necessary to prepare sweat towels for many miners. Although they bring them themselves, they are labor consumables and need to be provided by the mine.

As for hard hats, there's no need for them, strip mines.
