Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Governor Fu was also a little surprised to see Huo Yao, and then his expression became more serious. Of course he also understood that if the situation was not really serious, Governor Song would not have let his daughter-in-law come to the six southern provinces.

After waving Han Ran back, there were only three people left in the study, and Governor Fu pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Let's all sit down and talk."

Huo Yao thanked him and sat down with Leng Sa, Governor Fu said in a deep voice, "What does Song Ye want you to do?"

Huo Yao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Guardian Fu Mingjian, my father hopes that the six southern provinces can provide some weapons and food. This is the required list and deposit."

Huo Yao handed over an inconspicuous small box to Leng Sa. Leng Sa took it and put it on the table and opened it. There were not many things inside, only a letter from Governor Song and a few money orders.

Leng Sa took a look, and sent the money order and letter to Governor Fu.

Governor Fu opened the letter and read it carefully, then flipped through the money order on the side, "Song Ye is really generous this time."

Huo Yao smiled helplessly and said, "These are all the funds that the Song family can raise in a short period of time. My father said that the governor should rest assured that the Song family will pay the final balance on time and will never default on their debts."

Governor Fu waved his hands and said, "I can trust Song Ye as a man, but... nephew and daughter-in-law, this matter is not easy to handle."

Huo Yao's face changed slightly, but he still looked at Governor Fu calmly and said, "Please tell the governor clearly."

Governor Fu said, "The Song family is now fighting with the Dayin people. No matter how bastard my Fu family is, I won't take advantage of the fire at this time. It's just... I heard that the road to the northwest is not easy. I don't know if you heard it, Jiazhou is now occupied by Qujing?"

Huo Yao nodded and said, "I heard it a little bit."

Governor Fu said, "I have what Song Ye wants, even if it's not enough, I can make it up for you, but...how do I send it back to the Northwest?" Sun Liang obviously wanted to seal off the Song family's road, and a few people like Huo Yao It is easy to get in and out, but a large number of materials and weapons are not so easy to solve.

Especially in the current situation where the Song family is surrounded by enemies.

Huo Yao was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "We have also considered this, if it is really impossible to pass, we can only take a detour and go north."

Governor Fu shook his head and said, "It's unlikely, not to mention that part of the road over there is under the control of the capital, and they are willing to let people from the Fu family or the Song family borrow the way. It's just the section near the northwest, the cold leaf forest that is thousands of miles away There is not even a road that can pass mules and carriages, how are you going to pass?"

Whether it is food or weapons, they are both heavy and take up space. Even if there are no trains and cars, at least there must be a way to go. Without a flat road, it would be extremely difficult to rely on manpower to transport them back even if no one made trouble on the road, not to mention how could those people not make trouble?

"Then... what should we do?" Huo Yao was also a little panicked. The situation was not so bad when she left the Northwest. The Yin people or the Sun family took the initiative to attack, and after two more battles, I am afraid that the ammunition will be exhausted."

What Huo Yao didn't say was that if the Song family really had to face the attacks of several parties alone, even if the arsenal was still operating normally, financial problems in the Northwest would not be long.

Wars have always been a waste of money.

Governor Fu frowned with thick eyebrows, obviously annoyed by the current situation.

After a moment of silence, Governor Fu said, "You go and rest first, I'll have someone prepare the things, and as for how to send them back, we'll have a long-term plan."

Huo Yao still wanted to say something, Leng Sa tugged at her sleeve and shook her head slightly, signaling her not to say anything yet.

Then Huo Yao stopped talking, got up and said, "Then please trouble Governor Fu."

Governor Fu said, "Go, eldest daughter-in-law, let someone settle Mrs. Song properly."

Leng Sa also stood up and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will take care of Sister Ah Yao."

When the two left the study, Huo Yao said anxiously, "Sasha, I..."

Leng Sa held her hand and said, "Sister Ah Yao, don't worry, since the warlord has agreed, there will be a way. Now the warlord just wants to call people for a meeting, let's wait. Do you want to contact me first?" Song Dujun and Song Shao report that they are safe?"

Huo Yao said, "Song Lang went to the border. There is no phone there, and the telegram may not be able to contact him. Let me contact my father first, and just ask him what he thinks."

Leng Sa said, "Okay, let's go."

Sure enough, Huo Yao didn't get in touch with Song Lang, nor did he get in touch with Song Ye.

News came from the Song family that Governor Song had been stationed in the army two days ago, and he could only wait for Governor Song to be found at home first and then Governor Song to call back.

Seeing that Huo Yao was really tired, Leng Sa asked Huo Yao to eat something first and then rest and wait for the Song family to reply. Huo Yao was indeed tired, so she had to thank Leng Sa and go to rest first.

After Huo Yao settled down, Leng Sa returned to her study and sat alone in the room, lost in thought.

The situation was changing too fast. Not long ago, it was still a peaceful world, but suddenly it became chaotic. Even Lord Leng couldn't react. It's just that no matter how hard she can react, the chaos in the Northwest is a fact, and it is also a fact that Fu Fengcheng has rushed to the battlefield.

Jingle Bell…

Not long after, the phone on the desk rang.

Phones in this era can't see the other party's number, so Leng Sa had no choice but to answer the phone, "Hello, who is it?"

A chuckle came from the other end of the phone, "Madam Fu Shao is not in a good mood?"

Leng Sa was startled, and quickly realized, "Young Master Zhang?" It was none other than Zhang Jingzhi on the other end of the phone.

Zhang Jingzhi said with a smile, "Are you disturbing Mrs. Fu?"

Leng Sa said, "No, Young Master Zhang called here on purpose, what's the matter?"

Zhang Jingzhi asked, "Young Master Fu went to Jiazhou?"

Leng Sa was silent for a moment before saying, "Master Zhang is still so well informed."

Zhang Jingzhi said, "It's not that I'm well-informed, it's just that... I happened to see it."

Leng Sa was stunned, "Are you in the six southern provinces?" Young Master Fu only set off this morning, and according to the marching speed, he had just crossed the boundaries of the six southern provinces at most. Since Zhang Jingzhi said he saw it with his own eyes, he was naturally also in the six southern provinces.

Leng Sa frowned and said, "I remember that Young Master Zhang is still working in the capital, is this a business trip?"

Zhang Jingzhi said, "No, I resigned."

"..." Leng Sa remained silent.

Zhang Jingzhi sighed lightly and said, "I'm not kidding, I resigned not long ago, and now I want to find a job when I go south, I wonder if the young lady will give me this chance?"

Leng Sa said, "I can't afford to invite Young Master Zhang."

Zhang Jingzhi said helplessly, "The Zhang family has no power or power now, and all Zhang can rely on is his friendship with Fu Shao and his wife. Only Fu Shao and Madam Fu look down on me, so there is no reason not to invite me. "

Leng Sa thought to herself, if you said that, if I don't agree, wouldn't it mean that I don't like you?

Leng Sa asked, "Where is Young Master Zhang now?"

Zhang Jingzhi reported a place name, Leng Sa was not surprised that Zhang Jingzhi had indeed arrived in Yongcheng now.

Zhang Jingzhi smiled, "How about we meet and talk?"

Leng Sa nodded and said, "Okay." Putting down the phone, Leng Sa got up and walked outside. As soon as he went out, he ran into Fu Yingcheng and Shuilian walking towards him. "Sister-in-law."

"Young lady."

Leng Sa nodded and asked, "What's the matter?"

Fu Yingcheng quickly said, "There is something wrong with the factory."

Leng Sa didn't stop on his feet, "Does it matter, I'm going out for a while, is it okay in the car?" The two nodded immediately and followed Leng Sa's footsteps.

After getting in the car, Leng Sa started the car and drove towards the city before Fu Yingcheng asked, "Sister-in-law, what's the rush for you to go out now?" It was already half past six in the afternoon, and Leng Sa drove in a hurry It's no wonder Fu Yingcheng was surprised when he came out.

While driving, Leng Sa said calmly, "Go pick up a guest."

Fu Yingcheng became even more curious, what kind of guests would need the sister-in-law to pick them up in person? Before he could ask any more questions, he heard Leng Sa say, "Let's talk about something first."

Fu Yingcheng hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, it's like this, in our factory..."

The reason why Fu Yingcheng and Shui Lian came to Leng Sa at this time was indeed something important. Several old workers in the automobile factory were poached away. Although it is unlikely that the factory will not be able to start work if a few workers are poached, the few who left are all old workers who were there when the car factory first opened the year before last. And no matter how Fu Yingcheng tried to persuade the other party to stay, he didn't even think about it, as if he had severed his friendship with them.

Not only that, but some of the other workers were also faintly ready to move. Fu Yingcheng asked people to inquire carefully before he found out that there was a big businessman from the north who came to recruit people at a high price. Not only was his salary three times that of the current one, but he would also help them bring their whole family to the north, and even give money to their family members. Also schedule work. Such conditions are indeed enviable, but it is impossible for Fu Yingcheng to pay according to the conditions of the so-called northern businessman.

The salaries given by their automobile factory in the entire six southern provinces are considered high, and the six southern provinces are the richest places in Anxia, ​​so the wages of workers working in the automobile factory are by no means low in Anxia. Not to mention whether the auto factory can afford to triple everyone's salary, the collateral effect is not something they can afford.

If the salaries of the workers in the car factory increase, should the salaries of the others under Leng Sa go up? If it's just Lengsha's industry that increases, should the other counterparts in the six southern provinces follow suit? It's okay to say that someone like Leng Sa has the Fu family as a backer, but the profit is less at most. But there are many more that are small industries in their own right, and if asked to triple the wages of their employees, they might as well go out of business.

Leng Sa frowned slightly, "What did Manager Mu say?" Now Fu Yingcheng, the owner of the automobile factory, is in charge of the production and operation of the factory. Mu Honglian is in charge of external sales, and is in charge of external sales and communication with upstream and downstream suppliers. Although he can also be regarded as good at dancing with long sleeves, Fu Yingcheng is still slightly weaker than Mu Honglian in dealing with people. Similarly, Mu Honglian's news and connections are much better than Fu Yingcheng's.

Fu Yingcheng said: "Manager Mu said that she didn't know where the northern businessman came from, and she was already investigating. That person is staying in a hotel in Yongcheng now, and Manager Mu said that she would go to meet him."

Leng Sa frowned slightly, "Did she go alone?"

Shui Lian smiled, "Young Madam, don't worry, Wei Ran went with Manager Mu."

Only then did Leng Sa feel relieved, "That's good, how is the talk with those workers?"

Shui Lian said, "I have talked with them a few times, and they are very determined and seem to have to leave. I think that even if we agree to give them three times the salary, they still won't agree to stay. And they are still agitating other The workers go with them, I think the priority is to stabilize other people, as for those people...they may not have a good life when they go to the north."

Leng Sa raised her eyebrows slightly, "How to say?"

Shui Lian smiled, "Although I don't know if the so-called northern businessman really intends to open a car factory, even if he really wants to open a factory, take our car factory as an example, because we can get the best The supply of parts, and most of the suppliers can complete the cycle in the six southern provinces, which greatly reduces the cost. And we have received a large military order before, which can be achieved in less than two years Profit. Even if the other party has the same conditions, if the salary is tripled, the other party’s profit will be greatly reduced. Now in addition to us in the six southern provinces, several automobile factories have been established last year, and the four northern provinces also have their own automobile factories. Given the current domestic demand in Anxia, ​​unless the other party lowers the price, it may be difficult to catch up. Or the other party can also directly get orders from the military, otherwise it is really unknown whether it will be profitable."

Automobile factories in this era do not have any automated production lines, which are extremely labor-intensive. Raising the wages of workers by three times at once, unless they are really rich, it is difficult to bear the time of burning money in the early stage.

Now cars are not popular and the domestic demand is not big. If you can't get orders from the military, you may not be able to pay back your money if you burn money.

Leng Sa asked, "Do you think the other party has other plans?"

Shui Lian nodded slightly and said, "This possibility is not ruled out, and it is also possible...the other party is really rich and powerful and wants to poach people. After all, old workers are very important to every factory. But if it's just for this, they should poach people away quietly That’s it, there’s no need to encourage the rest of the staff to leave. After all, it’s impossible for everyone to follow them to the north.”

Leng Sa nodded and said, "If you want to leave, let them go."

Fu Yingcheng was startled, "Sister-in-law, if other people are encouraged by them to follow, then we..."

Leng Sa said calmly, "It's okay. Didn't we train a group of employees in advance to open a new factory? Just let them take over first. The mechanical worker training school we cooperated with Yongcheng University last year, the first batch of trainees will arrive in August. Almost ready to work."

"Ah..." Fu Yingcheng looked at Leng Sa with a complicated expression, "Sister-in-law, you already guessed what will happen today?"

Last year, when my sister-in-law said that she would open a school to teach workers in machinery manufacturing, Fu Yingcheng was still a little disapproving. Aren't the workers just recruiting old workers and bringing in new ones? Why do we need a special school?

At that time, he only thought that his sister-in-law was pregnant and squatting at home every day to suppress her whims, and if the school taught them, they wouldn't need so many people, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? It's just that the eldest brother and father don't care about him, so of course he can't say much. I didn't expect that it would really come in handy now.

Leng Sa couldn't help laughing, "I'm not a god, how could I guess such a thing."

She just thinks that mechanical manufacturing should also be regarded as a technical job. Instead of letting the old workers in the factory slowly bring out various apprentices with their own experience, the effect is slow and the ability is still uneven, it is better to directly standardize Training is easier. Except for some places with extremely high technical requirements, standardized training for most ordinary workers is sufficient.

Even in her time, weren't there still many technical training schools?

If it goes well, the school will gradually expand. By then, these students will not only be needed in automobile factories, but also in more places.

"Shuilian, you go to the school tomorrow to check the situation. Yingcheng, get rid of those who are leaving as soon as possible and let them go. Try not to let them affect other employees. But... those who leave voluntarily will not be hired in the future." Leng Sa ordered.

Fu Yingcheng and Shui Lian both nodded to express their understanding.

Leng Sa's car drove all the way to the outside of Yongcheng Railway Station. Just as he was about to stop, he saw a man wearing a shirt and trousers standing on the side of the road not far away, with a suit jacket casually draped over his arm, and a suitcase in his other hand. youth.

The young man has a handsome appearance and elegant temperament, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and at a glance, he has an outstanding temperament. Who is it but Zhang Jingzhi?

Shui Lian doesn't know Zhang Jingzhi, but Fu Yingcheng has seen it before, "Sister-in-law, you... the person you want to pick up is Zhang Jingzhi?!"

"Yes." Leng Sa drove the car a little further and stopped in front of Zhang Jingzhi. Slowly lowered the car window and said with a smile, "Young Master Zhang."

Zhang Jing was taken aback, but soon laughed, "Mrs. Fu, please stay safe."

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Don't come here without any problems, get in the car."

Zhang Jingzhi was also polite, and put the suitcase she was carrying into the trunk, and then opened the door of the passenger seat to get in the car.

Leng Sa waited for him to sit down, then turned the car and left.

It's 5:2 p.m., okay~(*￣3)(ε￣*)
