"Let's put aside the matter of finding wives for them for now," Ma Qianxu said.
"Let's talk about finding a woman for ourselves -"
"No, there's nothing to talk about. What I want to talk about is the issue of labor." Ma Qianzhu interrupted the topic, "We brought so many people to Bairentan, gave them food and accommodation, and asked them to give us
Work, and then what?"
"Then of course we continue working."
"I mean, um -" he was silent for a moment, thinking about his words, "land, labor system, remuneration and management system."
Wen Desi asked to speak:
"Before discussing the employment system or other such topics, I think the status levels for the indigenous people should be formulated first, otherwise there will be no way to discuss their differential treatment."
At present, the tribes of Tradition divide the indigenous workers under their direct control into three classes:
Slaves. They have no personal freedom, forced labor, are provided with clothes and food, and are not paid. Including captured prisoners, they also belong to this level before they have been screened and transformed.
Labor: personal freedom, work assigned to the travelers, free food and accommodation, clothing is currently provided, and travelers are paid according to their labor.
Employees: Basically the same as labor, but the salary is 20% higher than the same period last year.
There is mobility between these three levels. Slaves can be liberated as laborers, and laborers who work hard can be upgraded to employees. Social classes must be able to move in order for society to be stable - at least among the ruled.
In the Executive Committee's plan, the workers' class will become the basis of their rule, from which qualified industrial workers, low-level administrators and soldiers will be trained.
Although employees enjoy preferential treatment and have high hopes from the executive committee, there are not many workers who want to become employees. To this day, the number of people who have become employees is less than a quarter of the total number of people in the production team. Many people still
I came here with the idea of working as a long-term worker and had no real intention of joining their "pirate ship".
What is the problem? Wu De thought about it again and again, and proposed that the reason why the employee system has limited effect is mainly because it is not very attractive-employees only get 20% more wages. Although it is said to be allocated housing and private land, it has never been fulfilled.
.Including those who became employees in the first phase, they still live in tents and work sheds like other people in the production team. As for private land, there is a lot of wasteland in Lingao, but due to the lack of hydraulic facilities, a lot of manpower is needed to take care of it.
For workers who work more than twelve hours a day, they have no time or energy to serve it.
In the end, they still wore the hat of "pirates". Although the whole county now coexists peacefully with the travelers, it does not mean that the locals recognize their dominance. Get 20% more remuneration,
The risk is "being a thief" - the benefits and risks are obviously not directly proportional. Although farmers don't understand economics, Xiao Jiujiu can still figure this out.
"Should we find a way to recruit people right away? Do we want to be a good shorthair that can make people feel at ease?"
"No, recruitment is not that easy. Zheng Zhilong's recruitment took several years of hard work. He is a native of Fujian Province and has extensive local connections. We are completely outsiders. If the government treats us as barbarians, we will be treated like wild boar skins.
, then there will be no negotiation at all.”
The solution is reverse thinking. Since the risk cannot be reduced, then the benefits can be increased. Risks and benefits are directly proportional, and naturally some people will be willing to take risks-not to mention that Zheng Zhilong can continuously recruit sailors in Fujian Province.
To supplement and expand his fleet, to a large extent, becoming a pirate can bring greater benefits to the local people.
"Right now, a simple 20% increase in income will not create a big difference among workers."
The starting point is to implement the housing policy for employees. Anyone who has lived in rural areas on the Executive Committee is well aware of farmers’ great enthusiasm for building houses. In the years after the joint production contract responsibility system was implemented in rural areas, the situation of farmers has improved slightly.
New houses are built almost indiscriminately. To this day, many rural families still build new houses for their children in the countryside even if their children have settled in the city.
Everyone has a house. A person whose residence is temporary will not have a sense of belonging to this place. Only when he has his own house will he regard this place as his home and work hard to build it and protect it. Otherwise, he is just a passerby.
, what does other people’s property have to do with him?
The production team housing under construction outside the south gate is such an attempt. The executive committee requires the engineering team to construct these housing units as a real village, rather than simply as collective dormitories.
The construction engineering team comprehensively considered the rural living habits and the effective use of land to save building materials, and finally came up with the design of an apartment building. Each apartment building has three floors, and three living units are arranged on each floor. Each unit
It consists of one bedroom of 14 square meters, a main room of 16 square meters, and a kitchen of 10 square meters. There is no toilet in the unit, but a public toilet on each floor. Sewage is discharged from the pipeline to the biogas tank for harmless treatment.
There is no water, electricity or independent sewer system in the building. However, relevant locations have been reserved in the design and structure.
Apartment buildings are mainly used to accommodate family households. Of course, a unit of this size is a bit crowded to accommodate a large family, but a family size of 4 to 5 people is still more suitable.
The house adopts a brick-concrete structure, and the floors of the first batch of unit buildings are wooden. The construction team plans to use concrete prefabricated panels in the future to reduce the possibility of fire.
"How do you describe the property rights of the house?" someone asked after reading the drawings and renderings.
"Because our land system has not yet been officially finalized, this house only has a deed for the time being. The relevant land deeds will be reissued after the land policy is finalized."
There are differences among time travelers on the issue of land ownership. Most people want to confirm the private ownership of land, while some insist on state ownership of land. Others believe that the land policy of this time and space can be copied and land use rights are transferred rather than ownership - but this is not the case.
Add that weird age limit.
The executive committee does not plan to allocate welfare housing to workers - people will despise things that cost nothing - each unit is priced at sixty taels of silver, and anyone can buy it, pay in installments, and the employee level enjoys nine
discount offer.
Needless to say, employees who are saddled with installment payments will work harder than anyone else to protect the existence of the time traveler - otherwise his dream of settling down will be completely shattered - the people in the executive committee have more or less seen this.
The living environment of ordinary local tenants, long-term workers and small farmers has changed. It is impossible for them to own such a house even if they work for several lifetimes.
"I have a question." Xiao Zishan asked, "Farmers generally raise livestock. If they are given an apartment building like this to live in, what will happen to the livestock? If they want to raise pigs and chickens, they can't raise them in the corridor, right?"
"The livestock sheds and pig pens are intensive," explained Mei Wan, who was responsible for the explanation. "They are not placed together with the residences, which is good for hygiene. The new village will also have an intensive granary to minimize pests.
Rat attrition.”
"With such great benefits for employees, I'm afraid workers will want to switch jobs. There should be conditions and restrictions."
"That's right," Wu De nodded in agreement, "We have to make this employee a little more rare, so that we can be competitive."
The basic conditions he formulated to apply for employment are:
1. Personnel with specialized skills recognized by the time traveler who are willing to serve the time traveler. Such as craftsmen, literati, soldiers, etc.
2. Those who have served the travelers as laborers for more than 12 consecutive months and are willing to continue to serve.
3. Those who have made significant meritorious service.
"But now it is no longer appropriate for us to distinguish people by levels such as employees and laborers," Wu De said.
No matter what kind of differential treatment there is between these people, the labor model is the same collective labor. Except for a very small number of craftsmen and intellectuals who have specialized skills, most people work according to the labor needs put forward by various professional groups.
De arranged to dispatch workers every day.
In the current situation where there are a large number of infrastructure projects, this system ensures that sufficient manpower is available for each key project, and also strengthens the personal control of workers.
As many companies are about to enter production, specialized industrial workers are bound to appear. Industrial workers are professional. If we continue to dispatch workers every day as we do now, it will be inconvenient for companies to organize production, and it will be difficult to cultivate a professional team.
The second production team that migrated from Goujiazhuang has many family units, which is completely different from the first production team where most of them are singles. If men are considered workers, what about the status of women and children? Many women and children are currently participating in the labor force.
, how should their remuneration be calculated? For those women with more children or young children in their families, it is not realistic to simply use kindergartens to solve the problem, and what are the expenditure items of resources and funds needed for kindergartens?...
The problems reminded the Executive Committee that they needed a civil administration system to manage their first subjects.
Travelers have many choices when choosing the civil affairs system. For example, Yanchang Village and Damei Village adopt the villagers' self-governance model, which is managed by the village committee. This method has ready-made models that can be applied, and the results are relatively good.
.However, under such a system, the inherent power in the village is too strong, and the main positions in the village will form a monopoly in the hands of a few people. The most typical example is Yanchang Village. The village administration is almost completely controlled by the Tan brothers, although the Tan brothers are their training targets.
, so far it seems to be very loyal to the time traveler, but it is still not as good as direct control.
