Faced with this situation, what can Chen Xi do? Of course there is absolutely nothing we can do.
After all, the current situation is not that the people in the countryside of Bingzhou do not want to work, but because the distance is too far and there is no way to work in places that can provide jobs.
Chen Xi's merging of villages brought together people to a large extent and strengthened management. However, the population density in the late Han Dynasty meant that the distance between villages and towns was ridiculously long.
In addition, when Chen Xi first built a new village, for agricultural reasons, he actually deliberately widened the distance between the village and the county seat, so that it would be easier to distribute when the rural population increased in the future, or when soldiers returned and brought land to the village, etc. .
As a result, although villages in remote areas have sufficient land development, they are still too far away from the county seat.
Especially the boundary lines like Bingzhou are actually drawn with feet. A county often has tens of thousands of square kilometers. In fact, these days, most of the time a county has less than 30,000 people and tens of thousands of square kilometers. Down, it means that the population density is ridiculously low.
So for the people in the Yanbian area of Bingzhou, if they want to work part-time to make some money during the slack period, they have to travel hundreds of miles.
This is not an era of developed transportation in later generations. In fact, even in later generations, a distance of several hundred miles is quite far for most people.
In addition, the social customs that have always existed in the Central Plains area have led to the reluctance to leave home, the inability to determine the income of distant jobs, and the current life is much better than before. As a result, most rural people rarely take the initiative to go to towns where there are jobs. work to earn a living.
The result of this is that although there are many human resources in rural areas, they are still unable to exert their due value.
Even though these human resources have the active desire to obtain a better life, the reality of distance makes them rarely put into practice-life is very good now. When your father and I were young, the kaolin clay was full of dregs.
This is also the basis for Chen Xi’s plan to penetrate small processing plants into villages, because from the perspective of productivity and labor cost dilution, this is a win-win situation.
Directly letting rural people go to work in the city requires far more considerations than penetrating processing plants near villages. At least the latter only needs to consider the implementation and bureaucratic levels, and is far less than the former in terms of the number of people involved and the difficulty of implementation. So Chen Xi chose to succumb to reality.
"Your brother has done a good job in this social survey. It seems that if he works hard for two more years, he can become a county magistrate and polish his skills before he can be used as a miscellaneous person." Chen Xi looked at Zhuge Dan's social survey report in the Gyeonggi region. , while speaking to Zhuge Liang.
Although it may be said that they are just odd jobs, the level required to do odd jobs for people like Chen Xi is not low. To be honest, Chen Xi’s secretary and chief secretary Yuan Yin are not actually odd jobs. According to their level, This guy is not qualified to do odd jobs here.
If the Yuan family and the Han Dynasty didn't both need a person to avoid misjudgment of thinking and situation, who would want a miscellaneous fish to do odd jobs here.
Think about the people who worked here in the past. There were Zhuge Liang and Fazheng in the past, Lu Xun and Lu Yu in the middle, and Xun Yun and Xun Ji in the back. Who doesn't have spiritual talent? A guy like Yuan Yin who serves tea and pours water is not worthy of doing odd jobs here.
"It's okay. The things I made were rough at first, but I helped sort them out later." Zhuge Liang said calmly.
It sounds easy to say, but in fact, Zhuge Liang should have given Zhuge Dan some guidance on the description and wording here, otherwise Zhuge Dan would not have been able to take this thing to Jingzhao Yin Wangyi for action. For reference, it is even more impossible to get it to the Government Affairs Department for Chen Xi to look through.
But even so, Zhuge Dan's true level is enough to jump in and become a county magistrate with a salary of 600 dan, and then accumulate practical experience in government affairs, polish it for a year or two, and be promoted to a full-time position. If you really want to say that, this level of ability is also Not bad.
Although it is far inferior to the monster Zhuge Liang, and not as talented as Zhuge Liang, among all living beings, it is indeed enough to be famous in history.
"There is a big gap between the Gyeonggi area and other areas. The transportation here is more convenient, and it has been forced to undergo two large-scale construction projects. The local people themselves have the awareness to work and make money." Zhuge Liang packed up the things in front of him. , explained to Chen Xi expressionlessly.
Chen Xi nodded. This is a fact. The people in the Yongliang area experienced the large-scale hydraulic construction organized by Zhong Yao during the Li Guo turmoil, and the construction of Chang'an City and the two palace complexes during Chen Xi's administration. From the forced Gradually accepting it has formed the awareness of working hard to make money.
What's more important is that in the process of these constructions, villages in various places also spontaneously formed relatively clear teams. The natural organizational power of the people in the Central Plains played a leading role in this process, and teams were quickly formed from local villages. .
Such a team ensures the collective action of the village's young people, is more conducive to obtaining jobs, and even forms a clear employment relationship.
To put it simply, this kind of team ensures that these people can get paid on time, and they also have a certain local political background to ensure that they can get reasonable wages when something goes wrong.
For example, when Yuan Shu was building roads, he encountered something that was tricked by his own men. That time, Yuan Shu's little boss cleverly set up two companies. One company recruited people and the other worked. Give the workers money and ask them to find the recruitment company that sent them to work. It is said that they gave the money to the labor dispatch company and the previous company will bear it.
Originally, this was not a big problem. In order to simplify the calculation and avoid being deducted in the process, Chen Xi would also let the registration management personnel manage the payment. This is a routine process.
But the outstanding thing about Yuan Shu's group of people is that after the labor dispatch dispatcher dispatched the people, he went bankrupt after collecting the money. When the people who worked at the end of the year went to ask for money, the big boss of the company opposite was still there. In the prison, the working people were confused.
Want money? Of course not. When I asked the company that worked, the company did send the money to the labor dispatch company, but the labor dispatch company failed to manage well and went bankrupt. The big boss was also arrested, and the money also evaporated in the process.
If you can't find anyone to ask for money from, you can't just work in vain this year.
But the problem is that this work is really for nothing, there is nothing to say, because there is no one who can ask for money, and the company that does the work is very humanitarian and says, how about I give you some severance pay so that you can go back to work? Chinese New Year or something like that at home...
Now I don’t even have to blame the company I worked for. After all, they did transfer money and showed humanitarian concern. I can’t let others take full responsibility. The company they worked for also suffered a loss. Anyway, that time , the more than a thousand workers suffered heavy losses.
The government couldn't even find a basis for how to handle this matter. Even if it wanted to take the labor dispatch company to settle the accounts and sell it, it wouldn't be enough to pay wages to several people. This would be very embarrassing. If it weren't for that group of people, Among them were people from Runan, who blocked Yuan Shu's carriage and begged Yuan Shu to save their lives. There was no way to deal with this mess.
Yuan Shu treats himself as a dog, so he doesn't treat others as human beings. When he heard this, Yuan Shu went straight to kill him. He first killed the big boss of the labor dispatch company, and then raised his sword to the boss of the company where he was working. On the big boss's neck, he asked what was going on.
Needless to say later, Yuan Shu took the initiative and hanged all those who deserved to be hanged. Although according to the law, there must be a few of these hanged guys who were not worthy of death, but Yuan Shu directly disclosed the crime and the operation process. Then he was hanged publicly.
The money was quickly redistributed to the people who worked, and Man Chong came to clean up the mess. It was one of the very few Yuan Shu had done something big. Man Chong did not take Yuan Shu down. That time Man Chong said he would punish Yuan Shu. Money, after all, lynching was used, and people died. Even if he was guilty, he had to be fined. But Chen Xi remembered that time very clearly, and the money did not actually arrive.
Man Chong is a law-abiding person, but Man Chong prefers human governance for incidents that have obviously extremely bad impacts, because legal processing cannot achieve the effect of punishing past mistakes and avoiding future consequences at certain times. At this time, human governance needs to be strengthened. Let others know what not to do.
Just like what happened that time, in Man Chong's view, it was something that couldn't be done. Even if Yuan Shu hadn't hanged the group of people, Man Chong would have hanged him. What can't be touched and what can be touched? There is a mentality. Count it.
Do you have to force the common people to lose their lives and fight with you? How does social unrest arise? Isn't it caused by things that seem to have little impact but actually affect a wide range of things?
You have deprived thousands of people of their income today and used their labor in vain. If you spread the word later, other people with evil intentions will definitely follow your example when they see that you are fine. Next year, tens of thousands of people may be deprived of their work like this. , there may be hundreds of thousands of people the year after next.
The main force of the Yellow Turban is only a few, but you have dragged hundreds of thousands of young people like this over and over again. Once your temper was provoked, you immediately turned against them. Chen Xi even had to vomit blood. What can you do to save him at that time?
Even if the matter is not that serious, just dampening the enthusiasm of the labor force and slowing down development are enough to hang these people who have nothing to do.
So this case was very big at the time, and the line was drawn to death by Man Chong - I really don't mind hanging you people who dare to cause trouble in this regard, even if this clause is not added to the current legal provisions. , but I clearly point out to you that if you dare to do this, I will directly choose human rule. After the person is hanged, the money will be advanced by the state.
