"Let's put aside the matter of finding wives for them for now. [No pop-up novel website]" 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, what next?”
“Then of course it’s time to get back to work.”
"I mean, um -" he was silent for a moment, thinking about his words, "land, labor system, remuneration and management system."
Wen Desi requested:
"Before discussing the employment system or other such topics, I think we should first establish the status levels for the indigenous people, otherwise there will be no way to discuss their differential treatment."
At present, the Chuanchuan people are divided into three classes of indigenous workers who are under their direct control:
slave. No personal freedom, forced labor, supply of clothes and food, without pay. Including captured prisoners, they also belong to this level before they have been screened and transformed.
Labor: Personal freedom, work according to the work assigned to the traverser, free food and accommodation, currently also provided with clothing, traversers are paid according to their labor.
Employees: Basically the same as labor, but the salary is 2o% higher than the same period last year.
There is mobility between these three levels. Slaves can be liberated as laborers, and laborers can be upgraded to employees if they work hard. Social classes must be able to move in order for society to be stable - at least among the governed.
In the plan of the Executive Committee, 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, they also have high expectations from the executive committee. But there are not many people in the labor force who want to become employees. To this day, the number of people who have been converted into employees is less than a quarter of the total number of people in the production team. Many people come here with the idea of working as long-term workers and have no real intention to join their "pirate ship".
What's the problem? Wu De thought over and over again and proposed that the main reason why the employee system has limited effect is that 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 lived in tents and work sheds like other people in the production team. As for private land, there are countless wastelands in Lingao, but due to the lack of hydraulic facilities, it requires a lot of manpower to take care of it. For workers who work more than twelve hours a day, there is simply no time or energy to take care of it.
In the end, they still wore the hat of "pirates". Although the whole county now coexisted peacefully with the travelers, it did not mean that the locals recognized their dominance. Getting 20% more reward, but the risk is "being a thief" - the income and risk are obviously not proportional. Although farmers don't understand economics, Xiao Jiujiu can still figure this out.
"Should we immediately find a way to recruit people? Are we going to be a good short-haired guy who can make the 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 to think backwards. Since the risk cannot be reduced, the return must be increased. Risks are directly proportional to returns, and naturally some people will be willing to take risks. Not to mention, Zheng Zhilong was able to continuously recruit sailors in Fujian Province to supplement and expand his fleet. To a large extent, becoming a pirate can bring benefits to the local people. for greater benefit.
"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. Executive Committee Anyone who has lived in rural areas knows very well the great enthusiasm of farmers for building houses. In the years after the joint production responsibility system was implemented in rural areas, farmers whose situation improved slightly almost invariably built new houses. To this day, many farmers' parents will still build new houses for their children in the countryside even if their children have settled in the city.
Everyone has a home, and a person whose residence is temporary will not feel a sense of belonging to this place. Only when you have your own house will you regard this place as your home and work hard to build it and protect it. Otherwise, he is just a passer-by, and what does other people's property have to do with him?
The production team housing started outside the south gate is such an attempt. The executive committee requested the project team to construct these houses as a real village, rather than simply as collective dormitories.
The construction engineering team comprehensively considered rural living habits and effective land use to save building materials, and finally came up with an apartment building design. Each apartment building has three floors, with three living units on each floor. Each unit consists of a 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. The sewage is discharged from the pipeline into the biogas digester for harmless treatment. There is no water, electricity or independent sewer system in the building. However, relevant positions have been reserved in the design 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 quite 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.
"What do you say about 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 filled in after the land policy is finalized."
The issue of land ownership is divided among time-travelers. Most people want to confirm the private ownership of land, while some insist on state ownership of land. Some people think 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 look down upon things that cost nothing - each unit is priced at sixty taels of silver, and anyone can buy it and 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. It has changed the living environment of ordinary local tenants, long-term workers and small farmers. 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 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 conducive to hygiene. The new village will also be equipped with an intensive granary to minimize pests. Rat attrition.”
"With such great benefits for employees, I'm afraid workers will want to switch. There should be conditions and restrictions."
"That's right," Wu De nodded in agreement, "We have to make this employee a little rarer 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 travelers as laborers for 12 consecutive months and are willing to continue to serve.
3. Those who have made significant meritorious services.
"But now it is no longer appropriate for us to only use levels such as employees and laborers to distinguish people." 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 are dispatched to work every day by Wu De according to the labor needs put forward by various professional groups.
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 emerge. Industrial workers are professionals. If we continue to dispatch workers every day as we do now, it will be inconvenient for enterprises 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? At present, many women and children are also participating in the labor dispatch. 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. Moreover, the resources required by kindergartens and What are the expenditure items of funds? ... Various questions reminded the Executive Committee that they needed a civil administration system to manage their first subjects.
Travelers have many choices when choosing a political system. For example, Yanchang Village and Damei Village adopt the villagers' self-governance model, which is managed by the village committee. This method has a ready-made model to apply, and the effect is 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, At present, it seems that it is also very loyal to the time traveler, but it is not as good as direct control.
