"Your Majesty, your proposal has made us worry. In principle, it does have great convenience to the people of the empire, but it is a big killer to the government. ≥≥ If the workers in the factory are not satisfied and all strike, and the government cannot take necessary measures reasonably and legally, then the empire will be over! My uncle, I beg you, can you stop raising problems for my nephew for the sake of my childhood? Since I took office, you seem to have never made me feel comfortable. I am now very suspicious of the purpose of your resignation. Is my aunt offended you and you are unwilling to bully my aunt, and then I will bring me back and torture me specifically? I am also careless. It would be great to be the governor of Kalamba Port, why should I come back and suffer this crime!"

Hong Tao has no right to propose a proposal to the parliament, so this proposal must be proposed by the imperial government led by Bo Jiao. This time, Hong Tao did not directly break into the imperial government and slammed the table and forced Bo Jiao to agree. Some tricks cannot be used forever, and it will be difficult to use if used too much. This time, Hong Tao strictly followed the government's work process and first submitted his proposal to the government through normal procedures. After they reviewed, he had to give himself a reply. This is the emperor's right. So, when he received the invitation from the imperial government to attend a special meeting to discuss the proposal, he saw Bo Jiao's crying face as soon as he entered the door. If it weren't for the presence of several ministers, he, the Prime Minister, would have knelt down and pleaded.

"It deserves this. When I was Prime Minister, you can also mention it. Who made you not have the ability? Since everyone has seen it, I want to hear your opinions. The government is the state's management agency, so don't try to save trouble. If you have hired a housekeeper at home and think about how to be lazy and not work all day long, would you be happy? To put it bluntly, you are the housekeepers hired by the state. To put it bluntly, your housekeepers are still very high. The money is all collected by the people of the empire, and mine is also among them, because I paid the tax.

!So don’t plan to be lazy, don’t be lazy, I’m not happy if I don’t work enough. Tomorrow you will see what I said in the newspaper, and it’s still a serial. I want to explain this issue clearly to the people of the empire and make them understand. Don’t spend money to hire a group of lazy eggs. You need to stare at you every day, and whoever is lazy will fire him.” Bo Jiao’s family affection card has no effect at all. Now Emperor Hong is a mad dog, and he is biting whoever catches and bites. The proverb that always wants to be arrogant and young and keeps steady is fully reflected in him.

"Your Majesty, which newspaper did you publish it?" Huang Sha, as the Minister of Propaganda, is very sensitive to newspaper issues.

"What, are you planning to ban me, are you?" Hong Tao's little eyes began to look at people slanted again, and even his sister-in-law, who had always been tolerant, no longer gave face.

"No... I mean I'm sending someone to get a few copies for everyone to circulate them." Hong Tao's expression made Huang Sha a little scared. Although she never gave Hong Tao a good face after Chen Qihong's death, it doesn't mean that she really doesn't treat Hong Tao as a rooster. The closer the emperor, the more clear it is. This is a bastard who does not recognize relatives. He has several faces, and most of the time it's harmless, but don't make him angry. After being anxious, he will never let him go. The most hateful thing is that you don't know when he will be anxious. Most of his measurement standards are different from others.

"That's another thing. I'm very busy. I have to go to the hydropower station in the afternoon. Let's talk about it for a long story. I think the union is a must, and this also has to be blessed by you. Privacy, you have to swear. Once you talk, you have privatized. Have you ever thought about what the people of the Empire will become after privatization? In fact, you don't have to think about it. Just look at the young men hired by the Great Song Maritime Merchant. Although the Empire is more perfect than them in terms of law, the final result is similar. I heard that those marine merchants now, not only the Great Song Maritime Merchants, but also the Imperial Maritime Merchants have begun to recruit sailors from Malacca and Kalamba Port. Can anyone tell me why this is?" As soon as they came up, they sprayed a lot of venom. Hong Tao felt much more comfortable, so don't continue spraying it below. Venom is very expensive. If it sprays too much, it will make others resist. It must be saved.

"The wages are cheap! The sailors of the maritime merchants do not need to be as elite as the Royal Navy. If you mix some cheaper sailors, the ship can still go, and the cost will be reduced." Li Niang didn't think about it and directly answered the emperor's question, and the answer was very accurate. There was no other reason, just one word, money!

"Minister Li's answer is the reason. This shows a problem. Anyone who does business pursues one word, that is money! It is natural to make money in business. You can make a penny more, and you will definitely make a lot of money. This is a good businessman. But the problem is, is it enough to make more money, just relying on goods? Obviously not enough, and you have to control costs. Cost and profit are always a pair of enemies. If you want to make more profits, you have to find a way to lower the cost. If the cost is high, the profit will inevitably be low."

"I don't have to talk about how to reduce costs. Labor costs are a large part of the cost. Now what the maritime merchants are doing is to reduce labor costs, and the remaining money will be earned into their pockets. I don't oppose the maritime merchants' approach. If it were me, I would go to Cape Town Port to find Governor Matini. Whether it is to give faces and ask people or give gifts, I have to buy a lot of black slaves from him and train them to become my sailors. Then everyone will find that the same silk is cheaper than you, but the profit may be more than you. Do you know why? Because my sailors only need to eat enough, and they don't pay any wages at all, or they give very little. After a long time, I ask you, what will other maritime merchants do?" Hong Tao stopped spraying poison. He began to ask questions, one question after another.

"Other maritime merchants do not sell other things, they are not as capable as His Majesty. Otherwise, don't mess around on this route unless they find a larger market, everyone's goods can be sold, regardless of the high or low. As long as the market becomes saturated, there will inevitably be price competition. As long as there is price competition, whoever has a low cost and a high profit will be able to laugh to the end." The person who answered was Li Niang. This girl is a natural economist. No one has ever told her these things. Hong Tao didn't say much, and basically it was summarized by her.

"This time Minister Li said it wrong. The merchants did not retreat so easily. They were very resilient. I think they would try every means to find out the source of my sailor, and then go to Governor Metini, and use all kinds of ways to buy equally cheap slaves to compete with me. For this reason, they would do anything to break the law. Do you think Governor Metini is a person who has meat to his mouth and does not open his mouth? I think he will swallow it in one mouth, wipe his mouth clean, and pretend that he has nothing to do." It is also a bad habit of Emperor Hong. Mentini has been away from tens of thousands of miles away from his poisonous tongue.

"Hehehe... When Your Majesty talks about Governor Mai, I really miss him a little. I agree with Your Majesty's point of view. It's not that Governor Mai is greedy, but everyone is like this." Kong Pei made Hong Tao happy. He had long been used to Hong Tao's speaking characteristics. He didn't think it was awkward at all, and he still enjoyed it very much.

"See it. If this continues, all the people of the empire will be unemployed in the future. Not only will the sailors need cheaper slaves, but most of the other jobs can be replaced by slaves and foreign immigrants. There is only one reason, and their costs are cheaper. Don't tell me the legislative provisions, this is not in line with the imperial constitution. The state has no right to stipulate who the people's private enterprises can hire and cannot hire whom, and the law cannot stipulate so meticulously. Since it is a private ownership system, it is necessary to give each empire residents the same rights so that they can live a different life from others through their own abilities. Otherwise, what else should private ownership be used for? How good is it to go back and then distribute it equally?"

"Is there a solution to this problem? I have given a solution, and I think it is the only feasible solution, that is, the union law! We must give the people of the empire the right to work so that they can be justified to ask employers to hire them at a higher price, at least within the empire! Then someone asked, isn't this depriving the employer of his rights?"

"Yes, it's just deprivation! But I don't call it that. I call it compromise. Although the nature is the same, the effect is different. Trade unions are not government departments. They are established by the people themselves. As long as they are within the framework of the Trade Union Law, everyone has the right to establish a trade union organization, and then use this organization to bargain with employers, digest this huge contradiction in the public class, and do not transfer it to the government. In this way, you will save a lot of trouble, and at the same time give the people a way to vent their dissatisfaction and a tool to negotiate equally with the strong. I can tell you that this trick is called transferring contradictions. It is very, very shameless, but it does work."

"Li Niang, don't sneer. As the managers of the country, we should not expect to become saints, but we should manage this big family well. There is no shamelessness and openness in things that are beneficial to the family's long-term development. It is enough to just look at the results. This is our duty. If everyone wants to take care of their own feathers, it is better to be a lifelong official." After Hong Tao's description, the trade union has become a good helper of the government. In fact, in a sense, Hong Tao is not lying. On the surface, the trade union is always making trouble for the government, but if you think about it more deeply, it is indeed helping the government solve problems. If there is no trade union organization as a buffer zone, many contradictions will be concentrated between the people and the government.
