At this time, the door of the suite opened, and Xia Xiaoou walked out a little lazily, obviously she was taking a nap just now.

Lao Ba sat down on the sofa, took a breath, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his face, and said with a smile:

"Hey! People are old, and they can breathe like this after riding a bicycle for a few kilometers......"

"Well, in fact, you don't have to work so hard when you're old, call me if you have something."

When Lao Ba heard Xia Xiaoou say this, he couldn't help but sigh and responded:

"I don't want to talk to you seriously, you see, Xiao Xia, now everything at home is arranged very tightly, Holley They told me that the track steel has been successfully trial-produced, which means that Holley Quanzhenhai and their long-brewing United Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. is about to be formally established.

At the same time, the railway company in Chengdong will definitely be established soon, so that not only will several branch railways on the island soon have the conditions to start, but the railway construction on Zixia Island will also start.

You see, these companies are all heavy industries, and what they need most is male labor, especially male technicians......"

At this time, Xia Xiaoou listened to Lao Ba's speech, but did not respond, just bent down to find a glass cup on a wooden shelf next to the table, Lao Ba found that there was an electric coffee machine next to the wooden shelf---- which was a brand-name product from the old world, the kind that can directly grind coffee beans, since the whole school was powered by Sunflower, this machine was moved here from Principal Xia's dormitory.

Lao Ba saw that Xia Xiaoou was busy making coffee for himself, so he hurriedly said:

"Oh, yes! I have another big thing today, you know, the sugarcane harvest has been completed recently, and it is going to be planted for the next season, Lao Wang said that our place, water, heat and light conditions are good, and there is a lot of land, so sugarcane beets add up, and they can be planted in rotation for three seasons a year, no, Lao Wang sent a telegram, he suggested that I immediately organize forces to develop a large piece of wasteland on the northwest bank of the Yimi River, and quickly plant sugarcane, I asked Cao Limei, she said that the wasteland can at least open up an area of four to five square kilometers! I guess it's 3,000 acres of land......"

"I said Ba Lao! Are you beating the girls in our school? ”

"Well, that's your idea...... Hi! Look at what you said, Xiao Xia, why do I listen so awkwardly! ”

"Haha, just kidding! So what do you mean? ”

"This is about the boys in Zhuyuan, because according to Lao Wang's plan, well, you see, now the sugarcane on the island is three seasons in two years, and the beet is one season a year, plus potatoes, corn, wheat, sweet potatoes, peanuts and other intercropping and harvesting, so that the four seasons of the year are busy with farming, so the labor gap suddenly becomes very large......"

"Ba Lao, you don't want the students of Zhuyuan to work in the fields, do you?"

At this time, Xia Xiaoou suddenly interrupted Lao Ba's chatter.

"Oh, how could it be! The students of Zhuyuan are the next generation of culture cultivated by us, and this kind of rough work can occasionally be done to cultivate emotional activities, and it is impossible to really let the children work in the field......"

Lao Ba hurriedly explained.

"That's?"

"That's right, the 5,000 Han men and women on the island, excluding the old and weak minors, the real male labor force is only in the early 2,000s, and now not only Lao Wang's planting industry needs these laborers, but Lao Zhu's breeding industry also needs them, you know, how big Lao Zhu's ranch is in Saifu Island, and these two are planning a meat processing complex on the east coast, so the Han people who are currently working in major companies will probably have to return to the fields and pastures......"

Lao Ba felt a little thirsty when he said this, and Xia Xiaoou had the discernment to bring Lao Ba a cup of steaming coffee from the table not far away.

Lao Ba took it, took a big sip, frowned and said:

"Uh...... I can't imagine that you drink this kind of coffee too? ”

Xia Xiaoou responded with a smile:

"Elder Zhu highly recommends it, when I drank it just now, I did feel that the taste was a little weird, but once you accept this taste, it is also good."

"Well, well, where did you just come from?"

"The Han labor force wants to go back to the fields and pastures - the question is, the wages given by the major companies are good, will the Han people go back?"

Faced with Xia Xiaoou's inquiry, Lao Ba thought for a while and said:

"At the beginning, I also didn't think it was very attractive, but Lao Wang Lao Zhu said that there was no problem, in fact, in addition to the fact that the wages given by Xiaocao's mine were really high, the wages given by major companies to the Han labor force could only be said to be at a medium level, and the reasons of the major companies were also very straightforward - the Han people did rough work, and there was no technical content, so they would not give very high wages. It is not a ...... to say that the women in the family earn more money than the men."

"Hmph, what's this? It's normal......"

"We think it's normal, but in a traditional Han family where the male protagonist and the female protagonist are inside, the male protagonist will definitely not be happy, so last time a Han man who worked in Baisha Group found Mr. Zhao and asked for a higher salary, I heard that they all knelt down, but Mr. Zhao was completely indifferent......

"I know this, and later Lao Wang and Lao Zhu accepted a lot of Han people who left the factory, which is a major reason, so Baisha Group also recruited a lot of Han women to fill the positions last time."

Xia Xiaoou nodded when he heard this, and Lao Ba hurriedly said:

"So I am now convinced that Lao Wang and Lao Zhu's field planting and pasture breeding are more attractive to Han people, not only because the Han people who are born in farmers are more suitable for the rhythm of work in the fields and pastures, but also because they have a yield commission, and the actual salary is not less than that in the factory, plus the kind that has just allocated land to the Han people a while ago and cultivates it for five years, so these are quite attractive to the Han people."

"Well, that's ......"

"So for Mr. Zhao, Boss Luo, Huali, they not only need to do rough labor, yesterday Mr. Zhao found me, suggesting that a naturalization camp be transferred from Xin'an City to fill the labor gap, of course, they also need students from Zhuyuan to enter the factory as skilled workers and technicians......"

Before Lao Ba's words fell, Xia Xiaoou immediately responded:

"Ba Lao, to tell the truth, of course we know that the major companies are short of people, but there is a saying that the boys in Zhuyuan, most of them are minors, and it is not a big problem to organize collective labor and internship classes once or twice a week on weekdays, but it is not okay to have more, these children are minors, and they are still in the stage of growing their bodies, please tell Mr. Zhao about them, don't tell me that the times are not erased, and the people of our education committee do not recognize it! This student is our future! The responsibility of our Education Committee is very heavy.

As for the work in the fields and pastures, it is okay for students to work occasionally and change their minds, but don't treat these children as basic laborers, you also have children, and you can't bear to be old, right?! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Xiao Xia, you're right, isn't it that the labor force can't make a mistake for a while! Otherwise, I wouldn't have beaten your mind...... Belch...... Please consider some accommodations......"

Xia Xiaoou smiled slightly when he heard this:

"Ba Lao, don't you always go around such a big circle, don't you just want the Education Commission to relax and lower the age standard for employment?"

"Yes......"

"Thank you, ...... Balao"

Xia Xiaoou suddenly said such a sentence without a beginning or an end, and Lao Ba didn't react for a while:

"Huh? Why? ”
