Chapter 204 Sincerity is the greatest nirvana! (Second update)
Afternoon.
Xia Zhibai walked out of the study.
He took a look at the situation of salt shops and coal plants in Kyoto.
Currently, there are about 300 people working in the salt factory and salt shop. The number of people working in the coal factory, including coal movers, is almost 300, which is nearly half less than at the beginning.
He thought for a moment and called Jing Man and others over.
Xia Zhibai looked at Jing Man and others who looked confused, and said: "I just took a look at the situation of the salt factory and coal factory, and planned to make some rearrangements for the salt factory and coal factory. From now on The factory will implement a business establishment. "
"As the name suggests, it is a registered employee."
< br>
Hear the words.
Jing Man and others looked at each other.
Regular employees?
Aren’t they regular employees now?
Xia Zhibai said: "In the past, you were all workers at the salt shop in Kyoto, and indeed you were formal employees, but in your household registrations, most of you were still kitchen households. And now you have also seen the situation in the world. Enterprises are springing up like mushrooms after a rain. It is true that salt enterprises in many places are poaching people now. ”
"Many workers in our Kyoto Salt Industry have been poached."
"But you can also see that even if half of the people are missing, the Kyoto Salt Industry can still operate normally."
“In the past, there were hundreds of thousands of kitchen households in the world, but now a factory with 300 people can supply the salt market of the entire Yingtian Prefecture. There are only one or two hundred prefectures in the world, and only a few can enter the salt factories in various places. Some Zao households will face the risk of unemployment.”
“This time unemployment is more serious than before.”
“Because of the restrictions on household registration, it is basically impossible to find another job.”
"Since the advent of the steam engine, production relations have undergone certain changes."
"Therefore, continuing to use the previous 'household registration' will be detrimental to the vast majority of you, so I decided to change it and replace you with The vast majority of people in it are classified as business personnel, just like the inn, except that the inn is funded by the court, and your salary is borne by the salt company."
"It's just these, there is no need to get one. New term. "
"The biggest advantage of career editing is that it greatly reduces the risk of unemployment."
"
"Even if they work for a salt company for a certain number of years, the salt company will be responsible for a certain amount of pension after they retire."
Wen Yan.
Everyone around was at a loss.
What Xia Zhibai said was too bizarre for them.
But they can also hear that this is a good thing for them.
But Jing Man looked confused and said: "Grand Bachelor, why do you need to do so much?"
"Isn't the current situation very good?"
"According to what the Bachelor said, salt Qi will have to spend a lot more money in the future."
He couldn't understand why Xia Zhibai did this. Isn't this giving money to others in vain?
They still owe the court fifty thousand taels.
The annual interest is 10,000 yuan.
Xia Zhibai nodded with a smile and said: "It turns out that we have about a thousand households in our hands, and in the past six months, half of them have been poached. This also means that our daily salary Less than half, I should give adequate rewards to the workers who continue to stay."
"Now that steam engines are spreading all over the world, most kitchen households are at a point of life and death."< br>
“It’s just that many of them haven’t realized it yet.”
“Continuing to do what we did in the past, we can’t compete with machines by fighting alone, and I didn’t build the steam engine just to compete with others. Yes, I want to increase productivity and free more people from heavy tasks to do other things.”
"But it is undeniable."
"The current situation Zaohu faces is closely related to me."
"Of course I have to give them an explanation."
< br> "I proposed to set up a business department. Firstly, it is to reward the remaining workers, so that they can work more carefully under me. They no longer need to covet poaching people from the Jiangnan area, nor do they need to envy others. Secondly, it is also for the future. Digging people from the south to prepare."
"The north is short of people."
"It is difficult to attract enough people to move north by ordinary means. We must find another way and provide enough temptations."
"Not being unemployed is a great temptation."
"Now the South The kitchen households may have gradually noticed it.”
“No one wants the salt they produce, and the court has begun to give up on them. The south will soon have a salt production surplus, and those who work alone will have to do it alone. Zao households, under the strife between the local gentry and the local government, simply cannot survive, and most of them will eventually face unemployment.”
“And I have promised not to lose my job. It is undoubtedly a huge temptation.”
"Of course it's a lie that you are not unemployed."
"If you really think that you can sit back and relax if you join a salt company, or even ruin it directly, you can still be fired from the salt company after paying a certain price, but it will not be so easy. , as long as you don’t make mistakes and do what you have arranged, you will not be fired.”
“At the same time, I will also increase my salary accordingly.”
“Not much, but there will be some. "
Hearing Xia Zhibai's words, the workers around him looked happy.
Because they also share in it. Who doesn’t like a salary increase?
Jing Man thought thoughtfully, then smiled bitterly and said: "Bachelor, I'm afraid it's still difficult for people to go north. The conditions in the north are difficult and have been war-torn for a long time. People in the south are avoiding it. Who would risk their lives? Risk going north? Besides, bachelor, you can only solve the life of one person, not the whole family."
Xia Zhibai nodded.
He smiled and said: "You are right."
"Nowadays, the family is used as a unit. It is indeed not enough to attract men to go north."
"We also need to attract female workers."
"The textile industry in the south is relatively developed, so there are many kitchens. Every household has first-hand textile technology, so they can take advantage of the sparse population in the north to open textile factories in the area to absorb these female workers. In this way, both men and women can absorb them, and there will not be too many problems if their families move north. ”
< br>“My move is to open a clear gap with the south.”
“The gentry in the south are rich.”
"They only think about keeping the money in their own hands, and they don't think about giving any cents to the workers. And from what I heard, these salt companies in the south still requisition the old kitchen households as they did in the past. They only provide a small amount of money and food for daily life, and are not willing to give more money and food to employees."
"This kind of oppression is too harsh."
"Not all kitchen households can do it. Accept it.”
“With the obvious differences between the north and the south, as long as the temptation is big enough, some people will want to go north.”
“And it’s not just kitchen households, but also coal workers, iron smelting workers, etc. Porters, etc. will be treated equally.”
"This time."
"I want to take away hundreds of thousands of people from the south!"
Listening to Xia Zhibai's heroic words, Jing Man couldn't help but smile bitterly.
A hundred thousand people?
This is easier said than done.
And this is a real person.
Even if these Zao households agree to go north, the local officials may not be willing to release them. Population is political performance. The loss of so many people is completely unacceptable to local officials.
Jing Man said: "Bachelor, the local officials will not agree."
Xia Zhibai said: "They will agree."
"The local officials are not either To be clear, some officials do want to keep the "unemployed people", but there are also officials who want to drive these "unemployed people" away. As long as they are used properly, it may not be impossible."
Jing Man thought for a while and nodded.
He said: "The bachelor's idea seems to be okay. Over the past six months, there seems to be some conditions in the south. Although the price of salt has dropped a lot, it has also squeezed the living space of kitchen households. South Many Zao households rely on surplus food. "
"Everything is precarious, and something will happen sooner or later."
"By attracting people to go north, we will solve the population shortage in the north, and secondly, these people will have a certain future. An experienced Zaohu user can get started quickly with a little guidance.”
“It really helped us a lot.”
At this moment, Jing Man finally understood why Xia Zhibai cared so much about textile machines before. He might have thought about these things a long time ago, but now he just told them these thoughts.
But Jing Man also looked confused.
Why did Xia Zhibai tell them these things?
This is completely unnecessary.
The entire salt industry belongs to Xia Zhibai. Xia Zhibai can clearly make his own decisions. Do you need to seek their opinions?
Xia Zhibai looked at the other clerks.
They are doing everything they can.
Xia Zhibai seemed to see Jing Man's doubts and said with a smile: "As long as you don't have any objections, I will sort it out later and send you the details of the business section. You can take a good look at it. , and see if there are any problems. After a while, I will select some people from the salt companies and coal plants to follow me and Governor Zhou to the north. "
"While promoting the steam engine, I will also be responsible for the work. The south is recruiting people.”
Jing Man was stunned.
His expression suddenly became uneasy.
This is not a trivial matter. You have to face many people asking questions. If you don’t do it well, bad things may happen.
The other clerks shrank back even more.
They only lived in the same household in the past, how could they have experienced these scenes?
They themselves can't speak well, and their legs are shaking when they see the officials. If they are asked to tell people this, is it a joke?
Seeing everyone showing timidity, Xia Zhibai said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, just say your truest thoughts. What you want is truth."
"Sincerity is always the greatest necessity. Killing skills."
Xia Zhibai gave a few words of encouragement.
On his own, half a year would not be enough to go to the south. He could not waste such a long time, and he only had three civil servants, which was seriously insufficient, not to mention that he had the intention of training them. thought.
A person’s power is too small after all.
You must rely on the collective.
If he really wants to expand the northern salt market, he will need a lot of management personnel. He can't just rely on the court to arrange it, right? Doing business still has a derogatory connotation in the minds of many literati. It is better to rely on the court's arrangements than to cultivate it yourself.
Xia Zhibai said: "Don't have too many ideas. You just need to know that the things you do are helping other kitchen households to get out of their current predicament. If you can do it, OK, I will consider placing you in charge of the local salt enterprise in the north."
"People always have to grow up."
Jing Man's eyes lit up when he heard the next words.
Now Fang Mo is in charge of the iron smelting plant in Beiping. He has been envious of it for a long time. If he can seize this opportunity, he might be like Fang Mo. Thinking of this, Jing Man nodded seriously and said, "I will definitely live up to the bachelor's degree." Trust."
Xia Zhibai smiled with satisfaction and returned to the study.
