Wu De held a mass meeting. At the meeting, Fu Youdi and his minions were severely criticized by the masses. All his problems were put on the table for criticism. Even he picked his feet before eating and snored in his sleep.
Everything was exposed. Wu De allowed the masses to widely participate in this conference to enhance their sense of ownership. He launched a so-called "organized rebellion" to fully satisfy their pleasure and show his wisdom.
At the meeting, Fu Youdi was announced to be relieved of all positions and to be "reformed through labor under the supervision of the masses" together with his minions. However, when the masses tried to punch him, and some even suggested that he should be beheaded in public,
Wu De stopped everyone - no matter what, Fu Youdi has worked hard for the time-travelling people. We can't let his end be too bad, otherwise no one will be willing to betray themselves in the future.
Then, the problems of the other two captains were also revealed, including withholding food, being lazy, etc. The restless two people stood up consciously and knelt down in front of Wu De to apologize.
"You have big problems," Wu De said, pretending to be a great master, "but your work achievements some time ago are obvious to all, so these problems will not be pursued."
"Thank you for your magnanimity, sir." The two of them burst into tears of gratitude.
"Continue to work hard from now on." After Wu De said this, he reorganized the entire captive labor team and renamed it the production team. The captain was Lin Xing, Wang Tian was the deputy captain, and the clerk was Zhang Xingjiao. The following was still divided into four production teams.
The captain of each team adopts an election system. Wu De stipulated that all management positions must learn to speak Mandarin, so the two captains who were originally criticized were able to return to their posts. Of course, they will restrain themselves a lot in the future, and most of the others will also learn to speak Mandarin.
"The idea of our language.
The new labor system adopts a work point system. Each person will receive 1 work point for completing the basic workload per day. For managers and technical workers, the basic workload is 1.2 work points. The excess labor will be increased proportionally. The work is particularly difficult and dangerous.
For work that is more specific or difficult, the work points will be increased as appropriate.
In front of a rough blackboard, Wu De explained the meaning of work points clearly with the help of Lin Xing and Xiong Buyou's simultaneous translation.
"What is the use of this work point?" he said, "The work points can now be exchanged for extra food. It is equivalent to money. If you want to eat more fish, you can use the work points to buy it. If you want to eat more rice, you can use the work points." He paused for a moment, "
In the future, you can use this work points to buy more things, such as farm implements and tools. As long as the work points are enough, I can sell them to you..."
At this time, someone timidly raised his hand, it was Ma Peng: "Then if I buy food, can it be eaten by my mother?" Probably because he was afraid that Wu De thought he was going to run away, "I can bring my mother here to eat..."
Everyone laughed in an uproar: "Have you lost your mind and gone crazy? What use do you have for your mother?"
"Of course." Wu De seized this opportunity to preach his new policy, "This is the money you earn, and you are free to use it how you want. In the future, we will introduce more things that can be purchased with work points."
Someone was whispering and whispering below. Everyone was obviously very interested in getting paid for their work. Someone then asked: "So, if we can eat every day now, do we have to pay work points to eat in the future?"
"No, as I said before, it's in exchange for extra food." Wu De explained that the food supply is still based on two meals, one dry and one thin.
"Master Wu said in the past that if you do well, you can become an 'employee'. Do 'employees' also earn work points?"
"Earned." Wu De explained the difference between the two. The work point income of employees will be higher than that of them. For the same job, they get 1 work point, while employees get 1.2 work points. It is not easy to explain what the decimal point is.
I was so worried about Xiong Buyou that I finally used two fruits: one represents 1.0, the other was cut into 10 pieces, and 2 pieces were taken out and counted as 0.2. This intuitive education method can be explained clearly.
Employees enjoy three meals a day for free, housing is provided, and some private land can be considered in the future - such conditions make many people jealous. However, the concern that being an employee means being a thief makes most people skeptical of this bright prospect.
No hope.
Wu De knew their concerns, so he didn't say too much. Overly enthusiastic propaganda would have the opposite effect. Chinese farmers are the most realistic and the most suspicious. Without tangible benefits, they will not easily fall in love with you.
Of pirate ship.
Sure enough, everyone was doubtful about this work point system, and some people thought it was a scam. Asking prisoners to work and paying them back was such a good thing in the world. But from then on, Zhang Xingjiao was responsible for assigning work points every day. One week.
Come down - they already know that the "bosses" calculate their days in seven-day weeks - each person has received a different number of work-point coupons, ranging from seven points to ten points. The face value of this kind of work-point coupons is one point.
There are four different denominations: one cent, two cents and five cents.
Since work-point vouchers are actually a disguised form of currency, the issuance of work-point vouchers has been evaluated by economic professionals from the Planning Commission. After discussion, it was concluded that there is no problem. Work-point vouchers are actually a kind of grain-based internal circulation voucher.
The scope of issuance and use of food exchanged in the two canteens of the travelers is very small. As long as the travelers have enough food in their hands, there is no problem in maintaining their basic credit.
Moreover, the value of the work point coupon itself is also negligible. One work point can be exchanged for a bowl of dry rice (100 grams of rice), a bowl of porridge costs half a work point (50 grams of rice), and a piece of salted fish costs two work points.
The work points earned every day can actually only improve the food to a limited extent. The consumption of the food reserves of the traversers is minimal. Furthermore, as Wu Nanhai said: "If it were half a year after landing, we would still be able to feed the laborers."
If you don’t have the ability, it would be better to commit collective suicide.”
As the first attempt to issue currency, for the sake of caution, the Planning Commission established a financial working group and made a series of regulations on the issuance, printing, circulation and storage of work-point coupons. Work-point coupons are used in the printing room
Lithographic printing, the paper is brought with the cardboard, the size is about the size of an RMB dime note; one centimeter, two centimeters and five centimeters are the same size as the old version of one cent RMB. The pattern is printed directly with black ink without color registration.
On the front is the majestic appearance of the Executive Committee Building, on the back is the shadow of the Fengcheng Wheel, and the pattern is a coconut tree. Only the denomination part uses different colors of ink to show the difference. Each work-point coupon has an independent Arabic numeral.
serial number.
Xi Yazhou volunteered to inscribe the new banknotes with the inscription "Crossing the Central Bank", but the financial team leader Cheng Dong believed that this kind of thing was just a crude token, similar to canteen meal tickets. There are no banks at all at the moment.
For the time being, it is better to retain the true nature of the tokens and not use the name of the bank indiscriminately to avoid any sequelae in the future.
Finally, the flower paper that arrived in Wu De's hand only had three words "Work Point Coupon" written on it, and the issuing unit was "Bairen Production Team". Because the printing was very crude and the paper was not suitable, the effect was somewhat similar to that of Qingming Festival.
Crude coins are sold outside the cemetery, but in terms of technical content, no one in the Ming Dynasty can imitate them.
There is a beautiful ink-colored seal seal on this thing. If you look closely, it is his name seal. It made Wu De dumbfounded. What does this mean?
Cheng Dong said that doing so would appear more formal and make the work-point coupons look more solemn, which was tantamount to using Wu De as a guarantee of credit - after all, those workers did not recognize the executive committee members.
"If there is nothing on it, wouldn't it just be a real piece of paper, a military receipt from the Empire of Japan?"
After the work-point coupons are printed, they are all handed over to the financial team, and Wu De collects them in person every week based on the score sheet. Because making a wage list is a delicate job, a person like Wu De who has no accounting experience cannot handle it, so he only needs to do it
Just take the weekly score sheet, and the people in the finance team who have done personnel and payroll work will compile a salary schedule and issue work-point coupons according to the amount.
For the workers in the production team, this is a new thing. Everyone uses copper coins; you can also see silver; you have heard of gold. Sometimes if you don’t have money, you can use home-produced vegetables, chickens and ducks,
Exchange coarse cloth for salt and groceries. This is the first time I have heard of using scraps of paper to buy things.
Paper money was issued in the Ming Dynasty. However, this currency, which was once vigorously promoted by the government, has come to an end long ago due to the joint efforts of the emperor and bureaucrats who had no financial knowledge. Such a frontier place was a world of copper coins and silver many years ago.
.Although there are exchange certificates similar to later generations' banknotes, ordinary people have no access to them.
After getting it, everyone looked at me and I looked at you. No one believed that this thing could be exchanged for food. They thought that if they rashly exchanged it for food: Chief Wu said it could be used, Chief Wu in the cafeteria said
What should I do if it doesn't work? Even in the government, one yamen often talks about the East and the other yamen talks about the West. Chief Wu has a clean and blessed face and is a very kind person, but if he buys something with a flower heads, there is no guarantee that he will get angry -
―When gods fight, ordinary people suffer a lot.
Finally, with everyone's instigation, and with the assurance that Lin Xing would ask Wu De to come and save people if Chief Wu tried to beat someone, Ma Peng took out a five-cent note and handed it over, shaking it, and bought it.
He had a bowl of porridge. The person who delivered the food happily took it in and gave him another bowl.
The people around saw Ma Peng getting the porridge, and then watched him drink it while snoring. Then they saw that the person delivering the food did not look like he was coming to clean up Ma Peng. After being stunned for a long time, everyone
Everyone rushed forward, scrambling to take out their work-point coupons to buy rice and salted fish. Hu Yicheng was caught off guard when the catering office came to deliver food, and he quickly sold out all the remaining items - no one expected this to happen suddenly.
He was in a buying frenzy, so he didn’t prepare much extra food. People who didn’t buy anything looked at him eagerly. There was a loud chewing sound all around, and their greedy eyes seemed to swallow him up, so he quickly made a phone call.
