"I've seen Your Excellency the Prime Minister."

Looking at Karaturi in front of him, Prime Minister Bretianu walked up to the Minister of Industry with a smile on his face and spoke. "Don't be so polite, I don't know what Your Excellency Karaturi is looking for me this time?"

When questioned by the Prime Minister, Karaturi said what he meant. "I am here to report to the Prime Minister on the recent industrial developments in Romania."

The recent fierce war in Europe has made neutral Romania a procurement target for all parties, and Romania is now in a good industrial development situation. It was much easier for Karaturi, the minister in charge of industrial development, to report his achievements to the prime minister while the situation was good.

After hearing Karaturi come to show his merits, Prime Minister Brettianu still spoke with a smile on his face. "Then please tell the Minister of Industry about the current situation."

"So far, the amount of industrial investment in Romania this year has reached a total of 178 million lei. This is 54 percent higher than last year, with private investment increasing by 87 percent, all of which contributed to the outbreak of the war in Europe. Of these private industrial investments, 87 per cent are in light industries with little or no quick results, and only 13 per cent are involved in the form of equity or loans. ”

Karaturi spoke to Prime Minister Brettianu about what he now knows about domestic industrial investment. Whether it is a good side or a negative side, he explains it one by one. He had to keep his superiors informed of the real situation in Romania so that he could avoid mistakes when the prime minister was considering stimulating the domestic economy.

After listening to Karaturi's speech, Prime Minister Brettianu said. "Your Excellency Karaturi, I have learned about the situation of industrial development that you are talking about. It seems that the outbreak of the Great War has given such a big boost to our economy, which I did not expect before. ”

"I didn't expect such a big development of industry this year, according to my estimates, this year's economic growth will reach more than 20%, if it goes well, 25% economic growth is not impossible."

The speaker had no intention of listening to the listener, and the words of Karaturi moved Prime Minister Brettianu's heart. Knowing that this was a good opportunity, Prime Minister Brettianu asked as if unintentionally, while Karaturi was finishing speaking. "Now that the economic situation is so good, is the recruitment situation going well?"

Karaturi, who did not understand the meaning of the Prime Minister's words, still said. "Now that the economy has exploded, there are strong job recruitment information everywhere, especially in daily necessities, which is the most invested now."

"So how are the workers being treated now?"

"The increase is not large, mainly because there are many people in the rural areas of China who are willing to be workers, and many young people are not willing to work at home, so the increase in wages in China is not very large."

After asking Kalituri, Prime Minister Brethyanu had an idea. "Not right now, because the Romanian economy is so good, and the exports are generally 20-25% higher than before the war, and these profits need to be enjoyed by all classes."

When Kalituri saw the sudden selflessness of Prime Minister Brettianu, he knew that someone from the prime minister's family had invested in the factory.

Looking at his Minister of Industry a little strangely, Prime Minister Brettianu could not say that this was the king's instruction, so he could only continue to pretend to be a selfless duke. "I intend to legislate to guarantee the interests of these workers, so that every Romanian can feel the benefits of the development of the kingdom, and I do not know what good proposals the Minister of Industry has."

Hearing the Prime Minister's words, Karaturi was a little moved. However, he knows that it is not easy to do this, and at the same time, most of the people who invest in the factory are rich and powerful people in China, and if they know that it is their own idea, it will not be smooth for their future development. It is unlikely that these people will help him rise to a high position, but it is much easier to concentrate these forces to ruin his future.

Seeing Karaturi, who was a little hesitant, Prime Minister Brettianu knew what he was worried about, so he spoke. "Don't worry, you're just talking about it for my reference, and I won't tell anyone about it, it's all my own thoughts."

As the most powerful political family in Romania, and Bretianu has reached the highest position of prime minister, he is not afraid of this. And he calculated very well that if this labor protection bill was successful, it would guarantee his family's future status in Romania.

After receiving assurances from the Prime Minister, Karaturi offered what he thought was a reasonable suggestion. "Now I think the most important and most concerned thing for workers is the labor contract, because our current labor contract is not strictly enforced, so most private companies do not sign this contract for workers. Moreover, the current labor law does not protect workers enough, and many workers do not receive adequate protection after accidents in factories, which is also the most dissatisfied with the workers. ”

After hearing Karaturi's words, Prime Minister Brettianu continued to ask. "Anything else?"

"And then there's the issue of workers' salaries, which are now being deducted from wages in many factories. It was stated that it was 100 lei a month, but no matter what the workers did, they could only get 7 or 80 lei, which were deducted by the factory owners for various reasons. What's more, January's salary was delayed until April, making the workers completely miserable. ”

"Anything else?"

"There is also the phenomenon of corporal punishment of workers without permission......"

During more than two hours of conversation with Karaturi, Prime Minister Brettianu was fully aware of the situation that was happening among the workers. Verbal abuse, beatings, and even the imprisonment of workers are hidden behind Romania's booming economy. Moreover, Karaturi also told an example of defrauding workers from other places to work without paying a penny, and even letting his thugs supervise the work every day, and being beaten or even killed if he failed to complete the task.

Prime Minister Bretianu knows that these things mentioned by Karaturi have been discovered and dealt with by the government, but whether these black-hearted factories that have not been discovered by the government do not exist are not there, there is already an answer in the prime minister's heart, of course not, what can be mastered and dealt with by the government must not be an isolated case, so now he feels that this labor protection bill must be taken out as soon as possible. On the one hand, it is to protect the suffering workers, and on the other hand, it is to gain enough prestige and authority for themselves.

It's sad to say, as Prime Minister Bretianu. Until now, there are still many prime ministers who have the power that should be in the hands of the king. This made Bretianu feel dissatisfied in his heart, but he could not fight against the powerful and powerful king. He intends to accumulate enough prestige before slowly regaining these powers. And now the Labor Protection Act is the first step he is preparing.
