Chapter 80, more work, more pay, taking into account fairness
After entering winter, although the land reclamation activities in Mayi stopped, Xu Wei became even busier.
After the efforts of hundreds of thousands of people, the new city was finally closed. Everyone looked at the 4-foot-high stone city wall with great peace of mind. Everyone believed that such a wall could not be breached!
In addition, the biggest thing in Mayi is that everyone has been assigned a new house. Of course, because the number is not enough, most people live in a big house for 10 people. Only those who are married or with family members are assigned an independent house.
Houses, or only high-tech talents have single-family houses.
Others can only wait for the next batch. Fortunately, the cold wind cannot stop the construction of houses. In addition, the construction of the city wall has been completed, so now the infrastructure team has begun to build houses, with more than 10 times more manpower, and the speed is faster than before.
More than 10 times!
Everything in Mayi looks so prosperous!
Of course there are troubles!
I can’t eat the big pot of rice anymore!
Since the new spinning machine appeared and Old Man Wang raised the salary of all carpenters to 10,000 yuan, the whole city of Mayi was in a sensation. Although everyone was not cold or hungry after eating from the big pot, they had no money in their hands.
In the past, no one would have thought about such a thing, after all, no one had any money.
But now that the first group of people who can make money have appeared, other people naturally began to feel restless. After all, everyone has the heart to worry not about scarcity but about inequality. Naturally, everyone also wants this treatment, not to mention everyone with 10,000 yuan.
Everyone is willing to give money, even if it is 100 yuan.
Xu Wei and Old Man Wang naturally discovered this situation. They also felt that they could no longer eat from the big pot. They began to discuss what levels the hundreds of thousands of people in Mayi should have and how much monthly salary each level could have. These are the requirements.
If you think about it carefully, after all, even if each person's monthly salary is 100 yuan, Ma Yi will have to spend more than 20 million yuan every month. With so many infrastructure projects that have not been completed, and such a huge expenditure suddenly appeared, Xu Wei and the others naturally have to plan carefully.
Yes, they planned to announce it after discussing it.
However, the rapid popularity of sweaters broke Xu Wei's plan. First, the Hu people they conquered sold their cattle and sheep to consume in Mayi, and then a large number of caravans appeared in Mayi to consume.
The arrival of these people completely broke the peace in Mayi. The tribesmen in Mayi found that although they built Mayi and they were the owners by rights, they had no money to consume anything in Mayi. They had no money in their hands.
Any property, this naturally causes imbalance in their hearts.
Less than a month after the caravans and barbarians arrived in Mayi, corruption and bribery began to appear among the stewards of various workshops in Mayi, especially the stewards of the sweater warehouses, who secretly sold sweaters for profit, while the sweater women in Mayi
They also found their own way to make money. They deducted the wool given by Old Man Wang and secretly contacted merchants who came to Mayi to sell sweaters for profit.
In less than a month, Mr. Wang dealt with hundreds of people who were involved in corruption and bribery, but he was still punished repeatedly.
After understanding all this, Xu Wei could only sigh helplessly: "I can't eat any more of this big pot of rice!"
So he summoned Old Man Wang and other senior officials in Mayi.
Then he said solemnly: "Judging from the recent situation, we can no longer eat from the big pot, and we cannot delay the payment of monthly stipends to the subordinates any longer."
Old Man Wang said angrily: "Captain, how many people have to be killed to stop this evil trend? It's not like we don't give them monthly salary, why can't we wait for a few days!"
Xu Wei shook his head and said: "People are greedy. As long as they feel unbalanced in their hearts, this greed will be amplified. Instead of watching them make mistakes, it is better to calm down the imbalance in their hearts early. Although this cannot
It is said that corruption can be completely eliminated, but it can also be much less!"
Zhu Yuanzhang almost killed the officials of the Ming Dynasty, but he failed to control the officials' greed. The Ming Dynasty could even be regarded as the most corrupt dynasty in China! Although it cannot be said that high salary does not mean that there are no corrupt officials, but low salary is indeed an important factor in the corruption of Ming Dynasty officials.
The reason, not to mention that Xu Wei is still a person who has experienced 996, so he naturally knows that if he wants people to do things, he must be treated well!
Old Man Niu said helplessly: "But with more than 200,000 people, it is really hard for us to get so many people in a short time. How much is the monthly salary?"
Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "Then let's start with the easy stuff and then the harder ones. The treatment in the army is all the same as that of the Han army. The captain's salary is 2,000 shi, and the monthly salary is 100 shi. According to our Mayi prices, it is 10,000 dan per month. The military salary is 10,000 shi."
The other military commanders and military princes in the country are all placed in such a position that their remuneration will be reduced gradually!"
Wang Lei and other lieutenant colonels in the army couldn't close their mouths when they heard that they could get 10,000 yuan a month. They said that the captain was wise!
Old Man Niu said: "But this only solved 20,000 people. What should we do with the more than 200,000 people?"
Xu Wei continued: "Each workshop must start to calculate its own costs, and will have to pay for purchasing materials in the future. In this way, the workers' monthly salary is included in the cost, and it is enough to leave 30% of the profit to hand over!"
There is no Mayi now because there is no money to circulate as an equivalent, and naturally there is no transaction among the various workshops. Everyone takes what they lack. But now if we want to break up the big pot, each workshop must separately settle the cost, and naturally it is impossible to provide it for free.
Supplies.
Old Man Wang and others looked at each other, not knowing how to calculate the cost for a while!
Xu Wei could only continue: "Take the iron smelting plant as an example. The coal mined and the ore excavated from the iron mine have to be sold to the iron smelting plant at a price, and the iron smelting plant also has to spend money to buy it, and the iron smelting plant
The farm tools, weapons, and other tools that have been produced can no longer be taken by the stewards of each warehouse for free, and they have to be purchased with money. Do you understand?"
Old Man Niu said: "Isn't this just like doing business outside?"
Xu Weidao: "That's right, it's just that the money earned by the iron smelting plant still belongs to all our people. We have to settle the accounts at the end of each year and tell everyone what we have done with the money that benefits everyone! Like building new houses,
Roads, canals and other public facilities that serve everyone! This is called taking from the people and using them for the people.”
Old Man Wang asked: "But the profits of each workshop are different, and the treatment is also different. The ironmaking factory is the most profitable, and the workers in the ironmaking factory are not treated the best. And the people who open up wasteland have no output at all. How can they
If you can, won’t they give you a monthly salary?”
This is what Old Man Wang is most worried about. There are 140,000 people in the land reclamation department, accounting for more than half of them. If they are not convinced, Mayi will be divided!
Xu Wei said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about this. The workshops are different, the wealth created is different, and the monthly salary is naturally different. What we have to do is to work more, get more, take into account fairness, and allow talented people to get
The wealth they have won will also ensure that they will not starve to death in Mayi!"
