There were internal and external sections in the paper mill. The internal section was the factory, and the exterior was where the production area was. The production area had walls around it to prevent people from looking inside.
The employees could use a platform inside to dry the paper. Everything proceeded in an orderly manner, and the employees smiled as they worked. Everyone was excited when they saw Su Binglan.
The employees considered her their benefactor. After working at the paper mill, they realized how much they could earn in wages and bonuses.
Furthermore, they did not have to work hard and had more rest periods.
Living in Su Teng Village was convenient with the courier services and because it was easy to get food and daily necessities. The employees’ children could also attend school for free, thanks to Su Binglan.
“Hello, Miss Sue’
“Welcome, Miss Su.’
Everyone greeted Su Binglan warmly as she went to watch the paper-making process. She nodded and smiled, saying, “Good job, everyone.”
The employees were pleased to receive Su Binglan’s praise. Their hearts felt reenergized.
“Everyone follows your steps perfectly,” Shen Qiuhua said proudly, “That’s how we continue to make high-quality paper. The paper mill is famous now. Besides, no one can imitate our paper since there’s a vague mark of our logo on them.”
Su Binglan was the only one who knew how to make paper from start to finish. The employees only knew one step per section. They had also signed confidentiality agreements so no one would dare leak any information.
After leaving the paper mill, Su Binglan visited the printing factory. She saw many books outside as her mother explained, “These are orders from our customers.
“Many merchants have been anxious to buy our books the moment we opened. Some even gave us their most precious books to make copies. They also gave us deposits.”
The paper and printing business was booming. Scholars of Teng County held the Su family in high regard because the paper mill and printing factory provided academic convenience.
Buying paper and making copies of precious books had become elementary. Moreover, the paper and books were cheap, so many students could afford them. Everyone was grateful to the Su family for this.
The merchants who bought paper also had to sign confidentiality contracts. After purchasing paper from the Su family, the merchants could not raise the prices higher than stipulated in the contract.
Although the family stringently controlled the price of paper, countless merchants were eager to cooperate with the Su family to purchase their goods.
Still, the factory was in short supply of paper, even though many workers produced countless pieces of paper. There were simply too many orders to fulfill.
Those who could not afford paper in the past began buying in bulk because of how cheap it was. The merchants wanted to stock up as much as possible for fear paper prices would become expensive again.
Everyone felt comfortable doing business because they wanted to work hard to earn an honest living. They did not need to worry about sales, either.
Knowing that there were many orders, the employees of the paper mill and printing factory were thrilled and excited. After all, they would gain a considerable bonus based on the mill and factory’s profits.
The higher the monthly income for the mill and factory, the higher the employees’ bonuses. Therefore, everyone worked hard, and no one slacked off.
They did not grow bored of making paper, either, as it was much easier than working in the fields. Once the sun set, the employees would get off work and go home to rest. They even had the weekends off, which benefited everyone.
The employees had never heard of such treatment elsewhere. They did not feel any pressure when they thought about the salary and high bonuses they could earn monthly.
The employees knew their families could eat and drink to their hearts’ content. They no longer needed to worry about starving and freezing to death when winter came.
Their children also received free food and accommodations in school, so the families did not have to spend much on education.
Several days later, Yang County’s medicinal herbs and ketchup began arriving in Su Teng Village. Many restaurants in the Su Teng Village Development Zone started using ketchup. Everyone enjoyed eating fried foods with ketchup.
When Yang Xiao arrived to deliver the goods, he happily told Su Binglan about the changes that had occurred in Yang County, “Sister Binglan, the villagers are speeding through the hot spring villa’s construction. Everyone is wondering what it’ll look like.
“Doctor Yang told the people that it’s beneficial for them to soak in the hot spring. Wealthy families can’t wait to visit the hot spring.
“The ketchup factory is struggling to keep up with the demands. So many foreigners are anxious to buy them from us. 1 was wondering if we should hire more people to make ketchup.”
The Yang villagers realized the benefits of working in the three factories in Yang County. The employees had just received their wages, and many others wanted to work at the factories.
Su Binglan knew how popular ketchup would be but did not expect Yang Xiao to deliver them so soon. Moreover, the demand for ketchup was still pretty high.
After some thought, Su Binglan said, “You should tell your father to build another ketchup factory. I’ll write down a plan and task Su Shiba with making the arrangements.”
Su Binglan had arranged for Su Shiba to stay in Yang County. She would feel at ease knowing she had a few of her subordinates overseeing things in Yang County’s factories. With them around, she could visit the capital without worries.
Yang Xiao was delighted to hear Su Binglan’s words. He knew how beneficial the factories were to the locals. If everyone had jobs in the factories, they could earn a healthy living and improve their livelihoods.
Many visited Yang County to purchase medicinal herbs and ketchup, making the county livelier than ever.
Yang Xiao headed back after receiving instructions from Su Binglan. The latter then completed her arrangements in Su Teng Village and brought Su Chun to the capital..
