Chapter 579: Small Reforms Win People's Hearts
Idle all the way, the gold mine is already in sight. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Sakya seemed to be familiar with the people here, and after saying hello, he brought Zhao Shuo to the person in charge of managing the gold mine.
The person in charge was also smart, knowing that Zhu Luo had already surrendered to the prince in front of him, so he knelt directly on the ground and saluted, and then grunted a sycophant.
For this sycophant, Zhao Shuo didn't understand it, and he didn't want to understand it. Everywhere there were people in rags, some of them were elderly, some were in the prime of life, some were children. Among these people, only the person in charge in front of him was dressed gorgeously. Moreover, the person in charge had a leather whip in his hand, and the laborers had more or less scars on their bodies.
"Chen Yong, do it, cut it!" Zhao Shuo smiled and raised his hand.
When the person in charge saw Zhao Shuo laughing, he also laughed.
The smile of the person in charge had a great repercussion in the eyes of the surrounding laborers, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back, not only away from Zhao Shuo, but also away from Sakya. Obviously, these people have put Zhao Shuo and those in charge in the same category.
Chen Yong also smiled, he came to the person in charge and drew the sword at his waist. It was a war knife for admirals.
From beginning to end, only Sakya had no expression on his face. He was a little puzzled, why did Zhao Shuo directly cut down the person in charge in front of him?
You know, he has lived in Chola for so many years, and he has never seen such a thing. Soon, though, he understood.
He felt that Zhao Shuo must be worried that the person in charge in front of him would affect his control of the gold mine, so he would directly cut down this person in charge without asking 3721.
The person in charge began to laugh, but he was not stupid, and after Chen Yong pulled out the knife, he realized that something was wrong.
He wanted to resist, after all, although Zhu Luo had taken refuge in Zhao Shuo, there were not many people around Zhao Shuo now.
He grunted and shouted, obviously wanting the surrounding laborers to come over and help and attack Zhao Shuo and the others with him.
The people selected by Chen Yong this time are all elite soldiers, including Ge Shan, who is responsible for delivering the news. Geshan sensed that something was wrong, and pulled the two people around him and rushed out.
The three soldiers plus Chen Yong and the four of them, facing a responsible person, are simply hand-to-hand.
In addition, the person in charge was holding a whip, while Chen Yong, Ge Shan and others were holding a war knife.
In close combat, the whip and Ben can't play as well as they should. So, this unlucky person in charge, after resisting twice, fell unwillingly.
The surrounding laborers made a slight movement, some clenched their fists, and some clenched their mining weapons.
In the shouting just now, the responsible person slandered Zhao Shuo, saying that Zhao Shuo is a demon, and he came here to occupy the gold mine, and he will kill everyone here, and call on them to resist together.
Therefore, after the person in charge was killed, these laborers were not calm.
"Lord Wang~!" Ge Shan, as the guard who had followed Zhao Shuo for the longest time, immediately returned to Zhao Shuo's side after sensing that something was wrong, and raised the musket in his hand.
"Hey~!" Zhao Shuo pressed Ge Shan down on the muzzle of the laborer's gun. "Calm down!"
"But, my lord, they ......" Ge Shan was still a little uneasy.
"Sakoa, do you know how much they get paid for a day?" Zhao Shuo asked.
"A few pesos and dozens of pesos, and those who are capable can get more than a hundred pesos, but the pesos are not valuable, they can't buy many things, and the most capable ones can only barely get by." Sagarya Road.
"You tell them that you will be the person in charge here in the future, and the salary will be doubled, and there will be more capable people." Zhao Shuo said casually.
"Lord Wang, this, isn't it okay?" Sakya is also an official of Chola anyway, and now he has become the head of a gold mine, which is obviously a bit outrageous. For such a result, Sakya's heart is rejected.
"Why, you don't seem to be happy?" Seeing Sakya's depressed expression, Zhao Shuo guessed his thoughts.
"Lord Wang, no, I just became a local official, how to say, now I am also a person with face, you see, can I work part-time in this gold mine, hehe......" Sakya laughed slightly embarrassed.
"Part-time job, beautiful to you!" Zhao Shuo shook his head. "You can think about this person in charge of the gold mine, I will ask this time, if you don't do it, don't regret it in the future."
At this moment, Sakya really couldn't calm down. Although it was the first time he had met Zhao Shuo, he had heard of Zhao Shuo's great achievements.
What Zhao Shuo wants to do, it's all a big deal. Now Zhao Shuo attaches great importance to the development of gold mines, so the gold mines will inevitably be a major event under the development of Zhao Shuo in the future.
Sakya gritted her teeth. "Okay, I'll resign and come here to be the person in charge."
"That's right." Zhao Shuo patted Sakeya on the shoulder. "Don't worry, you will know in the future, you will resign from this official and not lose."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo pointed to the surrounding laborers. "Tell them that they can continue to work in the future, and the salary will be doubled, and you will be responsible."
Although Sakya couldn't understand what Zhao Shuo wanted to do, this was a good thing for these laborers, and he was very familiar with many of these laborers, so he was still quite happy for these people at the moment.
After some grunting explanations, the heavy workers were all grateful, and some people asked questions about whether there were still people to hire here. Obviously, the doubling of wages has stimulated them.
Sakya asked Zhao Shuo, and Zhao Shuo replied that as long as it was on mineral deposits, it would be the same everywhere, because soon, the entire Chola would be reformed, and all mineral deposits would be nationalized, especially coal, iron, salt, gold and silver.
So, as long as it's on a mineral deposit, there's no need to leave there to work here, and of course, if you don't have a job, or work in another position, it's okay to come here. This is personal freedom, and Zhao Shuo will not care.
After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo thought about it and added a holiday system. All those who work on the mine are entitled to four paid days off a month, but when they take a break, they should greet the person in charge in advance so that they can be arranged in advance. After all, if everyone is stuck on those four days of rest, the mine will have to go out of business. Zhao Shuo couldn't agree to such a thing.
At the same time, in order to commend those who did not rest for a month, Zhao Shuo also said that he was a general of all duties. That is, if you do not rest a day for a month, you will be rewarded with a thousand pesos, which is equivalent to ten days' wages of the able-bodied laborer. And if you have four days off and the rest of the days are not without leave, you can get a reward of five hundred pesos. However, if the number of days off is more than four days, one more day off will be less than one day's wages, that is, wages will be calculated on a daily basis.
When Sakya finished talking about Zhao Shuo's reward system, the laborers of the entire gold mine fell into a frenzy. They rushed towards Zhao Shuo and ran Zhao Shuo high into the air, and everyone fell into a carnival.
