The minister of the Ministry of Industry was fined for half a year, but he breathed a sigh of relief. He just landed safely. As for his salary, there is still half of it left. He can't finish it. It's a lie. He has a big family to support, and he will have to stretch his hands in the future. Make some extra income.
The matter was suppressed for the time being, and Lao Zhu turned his attention to the pharmacy.
Regarding Zheng Xiong's hierarchical system, Lao Zhu's keen eyesight can clearly see the benefits, and there must be obvious progress in all aspects of the pharmacy.
But he couldn't learn from it. Lao Zhu himself was a poor man, and his salary was only a few hundred to a thousand dan. To be honest, he was not even as good as a rich peasant.
In addition, if you support a lot of people, it will be very difficult to rely solely on salary.
Only Zheng Xiong, who is single and has a small family background, can't finish the food.
Lao Zhu was a little unhappy with what Zheng Xiong had done. This was not how he spent money. Zheng Xiong's incident made it difficult for Lao Zhu to handle it.
Just like Cao Lao and Wang.
Wang quipped Cao: I hate some people the most. The company is not doing well, and the employees' income is not high. They keep doing charity just to save face. "
Cao also responded publicly: Why not give 1,000 yuan to employees, but 10 billion yuan for charity?
Cao said seriously.
"The salary I give you is higher than the salary level in the same industry. It will break industry rules, the industry cannot afford it, cause social unrest, and more easily aggravate conflicts. This is not a contribution to society, but an adverse impact on society."
In future generations, the father-in-law is right, and the mother-in-law is right. If you don't do well, you can change jobs. There are many companies, and there is a lot of room for choice. There is nothing to criticize.
It's different now. There aren't many choices, and you can't change jobs. The pharmacy stands out from the crowd, and the feeling of imbalance is rising sharply.
Lao Zhu has already felt the feeling of social unrest, and the hierarchy of the pharmacy serves as a trigger to amplify this contradiction.
It's not that the hierarchy of the pharmacy is wrong. Lao Zhu had to consider everything and called Mao Xiang in view of Zheng Xiong's ability.
"Mao Xiang, go to the Prince's Mansion and talk to the Prince and ask him to ask Zheng Xiong what he thinks and whether it is really necessary."
Letting Zhu Biao be a sounding board not only provides a buffer, but also intentionally or unintentionally strengthens his son's team.
Zheng Xiong has made too many achievements in the pharmacy and is not a big threat. Lao Zhu is still very optimistic about his ability to make money. Even Lao Zhu is a little jealous of the income of the Prince's Mansion in the past few months. regret.
Zhu Biao got Lao Zhu's order, summoned Zheng Xiong, and went around in circles. When the superiors spoke, the subordinates ran away and broke their legs.
At the pharmacy school, the young eunuch told Zheng Xiong about the prince's summons, and Zheng Xiong followed him to the prince's mansion.
"I pay my respects to Your Highness. Your Highness is a thousand years old."
"No need to be polite, Ti Ling has not been to the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace for a long time. It's not easy to meet Ti Ling."
Zhu Biao's slightly resentful tone made Zheng Xiong shudder. There should be nothing wrong with not coming.
"I am scared. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
"I called Ti Ling here this time because I wanted to ask Ti Ling about one thing. What is the use of this sudden hierarchical system and whether it is necessary. Now many aspects have been affected by this incident. Ti Ling should be well. Think about it.”
Facing Zhu Biao's inquiry, Zheng Xiong did not expect that a hierarchical system could cause trouble. The prince knew about it and came to inquire. The matter was a bit serious.
It was quite a show of respect, so he only asked the prince to inquire tactfully.
"Back to Your Highness, I didn't think it through well and made Your Highness troubled by this. I will never give up. However, I believe that in this life, life, old age, illness and death are inseparable from medical treatment."
"Birth, the beginning of life, is actually a type of medicine, and caesarean section is even more of a medical category."
"From the beginning of life to adulthood and old age, there are very few people who do not need to see a doctor."
"Is it necessary to get medical care if you are old and sick? You can't do it without it, so doctors in drug bureaus are graded to increase their enthusiasm. The final experience is to provide better services to patients."
"As for the hierarchical system to which the pharmacy belongs, it is also to mobilize their enthusiasm and allow them to make better money. Your Highness, please be aware of this."
Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly after listening to the previous paragraph, but as for what was said later, Zhu Biao didn't quite understand.
"As far as I know, the workers in the pharmacy have the highest income. Compared with the incomes of the corvee workers and the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, is it too much to increase the wages in stages?"
"Your Highness, please allow me to speak slowly."
"Only when people are full can they have the strength to work, and working is not only for food. They also have the next generation to start a family, and the previous generation to support."
"Simply having enough food is actually not difficult for ordinary people. They can just hang out on the construction site, get a ration, and feed their family."
"But the lower official has given a grading system, and their enthusiasm will definitely increase. If I use one salary and add half of it, I can get one and a half people's progress of the foreign workers, then it is not a loss. After all, everyone's proficiency is different. .”
"You mean hierarchy brings out the best in a person."
Zhu Biao has some insight, and the benefits that the implementation of the hierarchical system can bring can be seen.
"Yes, for example, a small soldier has a very small chance of defeating a small flag. A small flag cannot defeat a general flag, and a general flag cannot defeat hundreds of households. It's more or less the same principle."
"One is worth one and a half, there is not a big difference. This business can be done without losing money. Maybe you can make a little profit by working hard for the money of the level."
A roundabout explanation from Zheng Xiong almost convinced Zhu Biao, but then he thought about it and realized something was wrong.
“It is true that one person can be used as two people, but today some people are still hungry and cannot afford to eat. With this money, one and a half people can be fed, instead of allowing one person to work hard and improve his or her quality of life. "
"Besides, the salary of Qi Pharmacy is obviously higher than that of the same industry, which has caused some dissatisfaction. If this is implemented, your pharmacy will be hated by people."
Going in circles, not only did it not solve the problem, but it also brought about another social problem. Zheng Xiong was a little dumbfounded.
When Zhu Biao grew up, it was no longer easy to fool him. These two social problems are also common problems in later generations. We can only find a balance point between them, but it is not easy to solve fundamentally.
It was a compromise and transaction between officials and businessmen.
Feeling a bit nervous, Zheng Xiong had no choice but to act rogue.
"Your Highness, you also know that the Pharmacy made money to build some warehouses and wards, and the money was given to the Ministry of Works. The Ministry of Works had something like that last time, and the Ministry of Works still can't spare the manpower to build it, and the same is true for me. It’s no wonder why he came up with this plan, after all, people are not that easy to find.”
If you had told me earlier, Zhu Biao didn't really want Zheng Xiong to be responsible for making it so troublesome. Zheng Xiong could just give him a reason. Isn't this a good reason?
