The maid ran in in a panic, her shiny scalp shining in the candlelight, but this was not a problem at all for Chang Shide, who had not had a woman for half a year and his body was full of sex hormones. He hugged Axiu and started to pull Axiu's clothes.
The clothes here are just held in place by a belt.
The soundproofing of the old-fashioned house was not very good, and the noise immediately caused all the men in the hospital to have insomnia. The younger guys were even more angry, and Zhou Shizhai had to ask Li Biao to come back to sleep several times and stop sleeping in the courtyard.
Ran around.
"This is how a man lives his life." Chang Shide collapsed on the bed, feeling as comfortable as a cloud.
The next morning, Chang Shide woke up very early and felt that the sky had never been so clear and the air had never been so fresh. Standing under the eaves, he greeted everyone he saw passing by enthusiastically and felt that his whole body was full of youth.
of vitality.
"Old Wen, why do you have dark circles under your eyes?" Chang Shide asked as he watched Wen Tong yawning as he walked past to go to work in the sugar factory.
"How could I sleep last night when you were howling like ghosts and wolves?" Wen Tong had a strong opinion.
"I know, I know," Chang Shide apologized sincerely, "Old Wen, would you like to ask A'Zhu to take care of you tonight..."
"How can I have the strength?" Wen Tong actually had this intention for a long time, he said perfunctorily and hurried away.
Wen Tong arrived at the office of the sugar factory. Looking at the reports sent from sugar cane farms from various places, in order to understand the ancient vernacular that the ancients wrote crookedly and did not read smoothly, Wen Tong had to ask Wen Qing to help with the affairs. The lack of cadres became their problem
The most troublesome thing is that Chang Shide is not satisfied with the village committee cadres in each village.
Judging from the reports from various places, most of the sugar cane in the fields has been harvested, and brown sugar brewing is also going smoothly. However, it is still quite difficult to be a landlord in this unfamiliar place. Judging from the situation of more than a month
Look, Wen Tong felt vaguely that something was not good. From the beginning, the manager of a local sugar factory kept reporting that the sugar cook was not good at his craftsmanship and had to break and pour out a certain amount of sugarcane juice every day. The figure was so large that it accounted for nearly 10% of the sugar cane juice.
One-fifth of the amount of juice squeezed every day. Wen Tong knew that no matter how poor the craftsmanship was, it would never be like this. He secretly investigated with people from the escort agency and found that the steward and the sugar cook teamed up to cheat and embezzled ten or twenty kilograms every day.
of brown sugar, which made him furious. Wen Tong knew that this kind of thing was unlikely to be an isolated phenomenon, so he immediately informed Liao Dahua and asked him to assign shrewd and capable bodyguards to conduct secret visits. As expected, this kind of cheating activity was not the only one in South China.
There are almost everywhere outside the sugar factory. It’s just a matter of numbers. Even the indentured slave immigrants just sent from Guangzhou also participated in this activity. They had no involvement in the manufacturing of sugar factories, but they could cheat on sugar cane. One family
The village chief, deputy village chief, and militia captain in Zhuangzishang teamed up to resell sugar cane. The difference in yield per mu was more than 7,000 standard kilograms, and the reported yield was less than 5,000 kilograms.
If this continues, the situation will become serious. Greed is an infectious disease. As long as it is not cured quickly, it will soon fall into a frenzy. There are big thieves at the top and thieves at the bottom. Those who dare not steal will slow down work. Once the people's hearts are scattered, the sugar industry will
If the company doesn't grow, it will be eaten away by moths. Wen Tong originally planned not to make any systemic changes in the first year, but he would turn a blind eye even if there were some shortcomings. Focus on the sugar industry first, and then take care of things slowly after the harvest season is over.
, but the current situation made it impossible for him to tolerate it any longer.
"What is the fastest way to learn - corruption!" Chang Shide, who was called by Wen Tong to discuss countermeasures, couldn't help but cursed. He was filled with righteous indignation and completely forgot about what he had done yesterday to serve the public good for personal gain.
"Let's think of something." Wen Tong was worried about this matter, "There are no reliable people in this sugar company. Even if we include the Wen brothers, the maid and the slave girl you bought yesterday,
No more than ten people in total."
"Isn't there still Qiwei?"
"Qiwei is reliable, but they are martial arts masters and don't understand things in the sugar industry. These are just things that appear on the surface. I don't know how many problems there are secretly."
This is different from Lingao. If Lingao is a liberated area, Leizhou can only be regarded as a guerrilla zone at best. Their power in Leizhou is very small, and their prestige is zero. It is not enough to deter new immigrants and local indigenous people. Not to mention that various places have
The trend of investors treating investors like fat sheep is still very popular in the 21st century. If Qiwei hadn't entered a few months in advance and used various resources to pave the way, I'm afraid things would have been even more troublesome.
"We must recruit cadres from Lingao, either from Du Wen's training center or from the military and political cadre training class at the National School. At least the grassroots level will be enriched..."
"Doesn't this show that we are too incompetent?" Chang Shide disagreed, "Old Wen, now that our situation has just opened, we are crying and asking the Executive Committee for help. How can we survive in the future? Besides, the Executive Committee
We don’t even have enough cadres.”
"This -" Wen Tong thought, and this was indeed the case, "What do you want?"
Chang Shide said: "I have a plan. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than carrots and sticks. The key is to win the loyalty of immigrants. After all, this is our basic strength in the future. As for the workers in the sugar houses, we must also treat them differently and crack down on small groups."
Take a pinch and get most of it."
"Aren't you just talking empty words?" Wen Tong was disappointed.
"The first is to build a full salary and welfare system, and the second is to severely punish the leaders." Chang Shide's routine is very simple. If you want employees not to steal, you must have a sense of ownership. They have no ability to fool the people of the Ming Dynasty and say that Leizhou Sugar Company is
The property of the broad masses of the people requires them to work hard and throw their lives and blood, but at least the sense of identity can be improved by allowing employees to share profits.
"The things ahead are easy to talk about. How to severely punish the corrupt elements? Fire them or drive them away?" Wen Tong thought that Lingao had police, a labor camp, and a new army armed to the teeth, with a complete set of violent machines. In addition to threatening the escort agency, they
Apart from the dozen or so bodyguards in Leizhou Branch, there is no other force - the bodyguards also have no law enforcement power.
"I'm afraid expulsion will not be a deterrent. Besides, the executive committee has spent a lot of money on immigration-" Chang Shide thought, "It would be best to kill the chicken to scare the monkey." He thought for a moment, "Let's ask first.
Liao Dahua, he is a local after all, maybe he can find a way."
Immediately, he ordered people to invite Liao Dahua. After hearing what Wen Tong and the others said, Liao Dahua smiled and said: "This is easy. Hasn't Dongzhu Guo always been on good terms with Lu Zanhua? He is a famous person in front of Governor Wang, and he spends money to invite him.
All he needs to do is post a message asking the government to come forward and kill him as a warning to others."
This is a way. Locally speaking, the government has the greatest authority. If you ask the government, it will shock the local youth. The two looked at each other and nodded.
"Is it troublesome?"
"No trouble," Liao Dahua said, "It just depends on how big the two shopkeepers want to do. If they want to take a few lives -"
Wen Tong said quickly: "This is not serious, but it cannot be taken lightly."
"That's easy. It's just that the people in the government have always been hard to treat - they can only recognize silver in their black eyes. When a post comes, things will be done naturally. As for important things, you have to spend money to do it well. Up
It costs more than a hundred taels to go up and down." Liao Dahua said, "And the tricky thing is that it has to cross counties, and Haikang also needs to take care of it."
This is the expense of two to three hundred taels. They have the money and have the right to use it. But this is a huge expenditure. Both Wen Tong and Chang Shide are a little unsure. In the end, Chang Shide gritted his teeth.
explain:
"That's it!"
Wen Tong thought that as long as things were sorted out and sugar production returned to normal, it wouldn't be a problem to earn several thousand taels of silver during this harvesting season, which was still reasonable in comparison. He also agreed.
The three people discussed the specific operation again, and Wen Tong asked the escort to investigate more situations to make sure the evidence was conclusive. Liao Dahua said that since the government was invited, no evidence was needed at all, and the charges would depend on the money.
No matter what the circumstances, it is not difficult to be ruthless enough to arrest a traffic pirate. However, Wen Tong still insisted on having more complete evidence. Liao Dahua agreed.
A few days later, four officials were sent from the Xuwen County Yamen. Together with Chang Shide and his bodyguards, they set out to kill the two Zhuangzi who were the most aggressive money-makers in the county and often disobeyed his instructions.
The person in charge was arrested by the village cadre and sent to the county government. Because all the money from above and below was used, the matter was done very quickly. It was an eye-opener for Wen Tong that his evidence was useless. As soon as the prisoner got it,
When he arrived at Dianshi, he went to court without interrogation. He was immediately convicted of "stealing" and the prisoners were beaten with eighty and one hundred boards respectively. Liao Dahua knew that the shopkeeper wanted to kill the criminals who were beaten as an example.
The yamen servants all spent money but did not put out any water. They were beaten until blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and the whole hall screamed. Chang Shide also brought the stewards, workers and village cadres from each village to the county yamen to observe. The timid Lian Kan
They didn't dare to look at it, and some peed their pants on the spot.
After the beating, all those who were indentured slaves were returned to their original supervisors, while others were yoked for one month before being released.
Wen Tong didn't dare to be present at all. Chang Shide watched this scene with a cold face, but he regretted it in his heart - as a modern person, he was not used to such cruel scenes.
But he had to admit that this was very effective. When he took official officials to other villages and asked the people with problems to "confess and be lenient", people who had been frightened by the news came one after another.
Ask him to hand over the stolen goods.
A few days later, Chang Shide took the officials from Haikang County to inspect various Zhuangzi in Haikang, but this time he gave everyone a chance to "reinvent themselves", and the officials with angry faces jingled in their hands.
The corrupt elements were frightened by the iron chain, and immediately handed over their property obediently in order to be "treated lightly". As for those who felt that they were working secretly and were going to sneak through, they handled it as usual in Xuwen County, and used the money for the official to develop the work, and then
After sending people to the county government to give gifts to Master Daowu, this bloody scene of "killing chickens to scare monkeys" came to an end. Wen Tong and Chang Shide returned to the South China Factory. They didn't say a word on the way: the matter was done, but the whole process
But it made these two modern people feel uncomfortable.
"Actually," Wen Tong said, "I think it turns out that there was some legality in that time and space."
"Yes." Chang Shide agreed.
After the matter was settled, Chang Shide fired all the managers regardless of the size of the problem - he and Wen Tong had already discussed that in the future, all such cadres would be selected from the immigrants. Then he ordered the village representatives of each village and the workers of the sugar factory
All employees from the South China factory also came to the meeting.
Seeing that the courtyard was full of people and a dense mass of heads, Chang Shide walked up the steps. His words were translated simultaneously by Liao Dahua and Wen Xiuzuo.
"Most of the people here came from the refugee camps in Guangzhou. Do you still remember what life was like before entering the refugee camps? I don't need to tell you how many miles you have to carry every day in Guangzhou, right? Zi
The big shopkeeper Cheng Ji took everyone in, provided everyone with food and drinks, and treated everyone's illnesses. Clothes, cups, bowls and chopsticks were all replaced with new ones. Everyone has never been hungry. Now everyone comes to Leizhou.
The conditions are not as good as those in Guangzhou, but three meals a day are open to the public. Even your children and elderly people can eat as much as they want. Ask yourselves, how many restaurants can do this these days?
?
"Although everyone has written a deed and according to the rules, as long as they are fed and not starved to death during these seven years, the sugar factory still pays wages to everyone. Regardless of men, women, old or young, as long as they go to work, everyone will receive a salary.
For wages and food, you can go to the surrounding villages to find out how other people's long-term and short-term workers are treated.
"Everyone has heard: Big cakes will not fall from the sky. Whether it is Zichengji or our South China Sugar Factory, they are not doing charity, they are giving everyone good food and drink, they are just for everyone to work, you eat it
If you eat here, wear clothes here, and get wages, you have to work hard.
