Chapter 234 Personnel Arrangements

Su Qingmei thought for a moment, and then looked at Xiang Shang again.

She said: "In the future, you will be responsible for the overall planning of the construction of the new village. Silver and materials, personnel allocation, and project progress control. You and Gu Hongde will be responsible for all matters of the new village together."

"Yes."

Su Qingmei looked at him: "I will only give you two months. I will start spring ploughing in two months. Don't delay my important matter."

Xiang Shang was very grateful and immediately expressed his attitude: "Don't worry, boss. I will definitely do a good job."

Su Qingmei looked at his father Xiang Zhen again, and saw that he was quiet and silent, with an expression that his son was in charge, so she asked him a few questions.

She had opened a shop before, and she also gave some ideas for Xu Shaoyan's business. Now she has no one to use, and she also wants to see if Xiang Zhen can be used.

After a series of questions and answers, Xiang Zhen became more respectful to Su Qingmei. And Su Qingmei also had an idea about Xiang Zhen.

"You know, I'm going to build a market town in this mountain, right?"

Everyone nodded: "I heard about it yesterday."

Su Qingmei nodded: "I'm responsible for taking the lead, I can't do nothing, but I have too many things to do now, and I can't go to the market town yet. Let's do this, Xiang Zhen, you go there for me. Help me check the progress of the project, and do some coordination and record work."

"Yes, thank you for your trust, boss." Xiang Zhen gave Su Qingmei a big gift. He recognized this boss in his heart.

Su Qingmei didn't know him well, but felt that he should have more experience than these village owners and villagers in the mountains.

Sending him there would also be able to grasp the progress at any time, so that he could make adjustments at any time.

Seeing that he agreed, she said, "Okay, you will come back to the village with me later. Tomorrow, the village chief Bai Zhong will leave for the market town. You will go with him."

"Yes."

Su Qingmei originally wanted to arrange the personnel, but since she had appointed Xiang Shang and Gu Hongde, she also wanted to see their abilities.

Besides, they had lived with these people and should know their temperaments better than she did. They should know who can do what job and what position to arrange better than she did.

So she handed over all the work of building the village to Xiang Shang and Gu Hongde.

She also read out the names of the blacksmith Wan Bosheng, the carpenter Gao Yuan, and the bricklayer Yu Meng, and called them out to introduce them, and asked them to assist Xiang Shang and Gu Hongde.

She turned to Guo again. She could read and write, and had worked as a maid in a wealthy family before. So she called her.

"The women and children here are all in your charge. Let them help with some light work such as washing clothes and cooking, and also help with some work on the construction site."

"Yes." After listening to the conversation, Guo was not surprised at all that Su Qing'an would call her.

The booklet in the boss's hand looked very much like the roster of a wealthy family.

She didn't expect that there were people in the mountains who had such insight and knew to send people to ask about their past experiences and whether they had any special skills so that they could use them well.

It seems that she is a person who does things in an orderly manner.

From what she said yesterday that she could read and had worked in a wealthy family, she knew that any boss with ideas would definitely use her.

Although she wanted to spend the rest of her life peacefully, she didn't want to live a mediocre life.

As long as the boss trusted her, she was willing to contribute her remaining energy to him.

Su Qing'an called another person at the end: "Ling Fenggu."

Ling Fenggu, 55, stood up. At the same time, his family also stood up.

This family was also a relatively complete family except for the Xiang family. Ling Fenggu, a herbalist, his wife Ling Sun, his daughter-in-law Ling Qin, his grandson Ling Nanxing, and his granddaughter Ling Ziqin.

His only son died on the battlefield.

"Have you ever opened a medicine shop?"

"Back to the boss, yes. I opened a small medicine shop in the town of my hometown to make a living."

"Can you treat illnesses?"

Ling Fenggu shook his head: "I can use medicine for some minor illnesses, but I can't take the pulse. But I know medicinal herbs and have been dealing with them all my life. My family can do some work of collecting and drying herbs. If the boss doesn't mind, we can ask our family to do anything about medicinal herbs."

"Very good."

Although it was a pity that he didn't know medicine, Su Qing'an felt that she had made a fortune by having someone who knew medicinal herbs.

Looking at his family, his grandchildren were all twelve or thirteen years old, and only his daughter-in-law could do some physical work.

Then he said, "Let your daughter-in-law take the two grandchildren to help build the village. Please help me walk around the nearby mountains to see if there are any precious medicinal materials. Then walk around to see if there are some commonly used medicinal herbs in these mountains so that you can pick them for use. Write down all the medicinal herbs you see that are abundant in the mountains."

"Also, help me see if there is a small piece of land on my mountain to plant some medicinal herbs. Your wife will help you dry the medicinal herbs and regulate the body for everyone. I see that everyone has frostbite on their hands and faces. Please see if there are any medicinal herbs in the mountains. You and your wife can help treat everyone. This treatment of frostbite, you know?"

Ling Fenggu nodded, feeling very happy. Arranging him to collect herbs is what he wants to do most.

"I understand. This is a common disease. I will go into the mountains to collect herbs for everyone today."

Su Qingmei nodded. He said a few more words to everyone.

He called Xiang Shang and Gu Hongde aside and gave them some instructions, then took Xiang Zhen back to the village.

After returning to the village, he handed Xiang Zhen over to the village chief Zhong and told Uncle Zhong about the situation. The village chief Zhong immediately started chatting with them about family matters in a familiar manner.

Everything was arranged properly.

The people in the cave also started to work in the new village during the day and went back to the cave to sleep at night. Su Qingmei followed for a few days and found that Xiang Shang and Gu Hongde did a good job, so she let go.

A few days later, Siyuan and Siyuan came back.

"Miss, we didn't buy much food in Baipi County and Gongxi County, so we went to Renzhou and bought it from Manager Li."

"Manager Li came back for the New Year?"

"Yes, he came back. He also brought a lot of seeds for you, we all brought them back."

"Really?" Su Qingmei was very happy and ran over to see.

Seeing that the two of them brought back a lot of seeds that Su Qingmei knew and didn't know, there were a lot of them, and she was very happy.

"I'm sorry to trouble Manager Li."

"Miss, Manager Li also said that whether he can receive grain this year depends on you."

Su Qing'an laughed: "Manager Li trusts me. I have no idea whether grain can be grown in this mountain and how much grain can be harvested."

Su Qing'an looked through the seeds one by one, and asked Siyuan and Siyuan to put them in the warehouse.

The land has not thawed yet, and it is far from time to plant.

"You two take a day off first. Tomorrow, Siyuan and I will go to the market town, and Siyuan will go to the new village to see the progress."

"Yes." The two agreed.

"Miss, do you want to move these grains to the cave now? We also bought some linen and coarse cloth and some household items."

"If you are not tired, move it over there."

"We are not tired, so we move it now."

"Okay." Su Qing'an nodded.

Remembering that they had to go to the market town tomorrow, they began to make preparations.
