Little Mark stood there and explained for a long time before he finally made it clear.
This workshop, called Datang Cigarette Factory, after recruiting workers, as long as the workers can roll eighteen boxes of cigarettes a day, they will be considered to have completed the basic task and can receive an income of eighteen iron coins.
Then the more you do, the more income you will earn.
As long as the work in the first six days is up to standard, if you don't want to take a break on the seventh day, you can earn one and a half iron coins per box of cigarettes that day.
In addition, as long as the workers met the standard on the previous day, the workshop will also provide two meals the next day, and they can eat as much as they want until they are full.
These civilians couldn't believe it was true.
Are you hiring workers?
Seeing that these people were still hesitating, little Mark shouted loudly: "We are only recruiting twenty people for the first batch. Don't you want to come and give it a try? Can we still rely on you to do the work and settle the accounts on the same day?"
"The king has issued a new policy. Merchants hire workers. If they don't pay wages as agreed, they can go to the big drum in front of his castle and complain."
Hearing these words, the civilians below relaxed a little.
"Yes, the king did issue such a new policy."
"I heard that a few days ago, the farmer in the north of the city refused to pay the money he owed to the farmer, so he was sued. Then he not only paid the farmer the money he owed, but he was also slapped five times!"
"Then let's try??"
Having made up their minds, these people began to raise their hands and shout: "Little Mark, count me in, count me in."
Little Mark took out an iron sign from his arms and said: "Queue up, queue up, the first twenty people are recruited first, and if you don't work up to standard for three days, it means you are not suitable for this job and will be fired, but your salary will still be It will be sent to you.”
He handed out the iron cards in his hand to the first twenty people in turn. Considering that these people were illiterate, the iron cards were filled with various patterns.
"Now go inside and someone will teach you how to roll cigarettes."
Little Mark led people into the workshop at the back, and Tang Ping also led Egbert in.
Egbert asked with some confusion: "Why do you give civilians such good treatment??"
Tang Ping said with a smile: "You always ask slaves to work for you, right? How about their work?"
Egbert thought for a while and said: "It's not that good. Even if someone is guarding with a whip, they will still be lazy in a place where they can't be seen."
"Yes!" Tang Ping explained: "Look, if I'm like you and guard with a whip, these people will probably be able to roll me seven or eight packs of cigarettes a day. But I exchanged the whip for a better treatment. They can roll twenty or thirty packs of cigarettes a day.”
"I can earn four iron coins from a box of cigarettes. If you whip them, eight boxes a day can only earn thirty-two iron coins. But now a person can earn me a hundred iron coins from twenty-five boxes a day. I Giving them twenty-five iron coins plus food money, but only twenty-seven or eight iron coins, I can still earn more than seventy iron coins, which one do you think is more cost-effective?"
Egbert didn't expect that the accounts could be settled like this, and he said sincerely: "Don, you are really an excellent businessman!!"
"It seems that I should use your method when I go mining in the future!"
"Yes, using a whip to drive slaves away will not make you more money, and it will leave a lot of hidden dangers. Look how good it is for me. Everyone has made money and is very happy." At this time, someone was The workers who were recruited were already standing in front of a white wall with a large form drawn on it.
Little Mark explained: "You see the pattern of your work badge on this form, right? Every time a box of cigarettes passes the acceptance inspection, a star will be pasted behind your pattern. When you get off work, everyone can press the star on it. Just get paid.”
"Ah, that's good. Then you know how much you have done. The wall is right here. Everyone can watch it, and you are not afraid of the boss's manipulation!"
"Yes, this workshop is really different. It's so thoughtful."
Tang Ping explained without waiting for Egbert to ask: "This is to make the workers feel that our operations here are transparent and will not steal their money secretly. And more importantly, it is to stimulate a sense of competition among workers. "
"Competitive consciousness?" At this time, Egbert was like a student: "What is competitive consciousness?"
"That's Zhang San... No, just for example, Peter earned twenty iron coins today, but Pike, who came to work with him, only earned eighteen iron coins. What do you think he would think?"
"He will think that everyone came at the same time, why do I earn less than you, I must surpass you..." After saying this, Egbert suddenly realized, isn't this just like the comparison between nobles?
If a nobleman rode four handsome white horses when he went hunting, someone might ride five or six horses the next time.
This kind of comparison mentality has always been there, but he just didn't expect that Tang Ping could be used here.
"Don, I think you are scarier than those who use whips to whip people, because these workers can work crazily without whips. You are just like the devil who manipulates people's hearts."
"Everyone is familiar with you, and I will sue you for slander!!" Tang Ping rolled his eyes at him: "Only you people who treat workers as slaves would think so."
These civilians are not like Tang Ping and others who eat three meals a day. After introducing the workshop system, someone came to teach them how to roll cigarettes and how to pass the inspection. After the little Mark clapped his hands and shouted: "Today Although everyone is not working, the boss is still willing to treat everyone to a meal. The main purpose is to show everyone what to eat for work meals in the future. The standard will be like this every day from now on."
After he finished speaking, someone came out carrying a large steaming basket.
"What is this?" some workers asked. They had never seen anything in the basket.
"This is a steamed bun, it's better than bread!"
Although the steamed buns are also made from rye flour, they do taste much softer than bread.
Not only are there steamed buns, but there are also pickles and egg drop soup.
These workers didn't expect that they would have so much food before they even started working, and it was just as little Mark said, they were full.
After finishing that basket, someone said they were not full and immediately brought up another basket.
In the end, no one could eat any more, and Tang Ping ordered them all to share the remaining twenty steamed buns.
Regardless of whether these workers had any doubts at this time, they all said they would come to the workshop to work early tomorrow morning.
Tang Ping looked at the workers leaving and said to Egbert: "The biggest hope of these workers is actually very simple, which is to have enough food. I am just giving them this hope now."
Egbert was silent for a moment and said: "I used to think that the number of countries I conquered and the amount of land I occupied represented how outstanding a king I was. But now it seems that I have done something wrong?"
