"It doesn't look like business is going very well. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Bai Nan said to Pan Pu.

He ordered four dishes and a soup, and the three of them ate just right. When the Datang civil service system was established, it consciously removed the official position and bureaucracy, so it was common for bosses and subordinates to eat at the same table, regardless of priority, and everyone interacted more casually.

Pan Pu said: "Today is a weekday, not a weekend, so it's normal for business to be a little cold." And after all, Shanghai is a newly built city, although we have brought tens of thousands of people, but it is still not enough for the city. Very few people in Shanghai and Baoshan counties in our special zone have taken the initiative to move to the city center, and although we have built new houses for farmers in this area, they are still more accustomed to their original life, and many of them have not even moved in. Their spending power is also limited, and they will not think of entering such a restaurant. ”

During the construction of Shanghai, a lot of surrounding laborers were recruited, and they all got local status, and even housing allocation. Their wages are also quite considerable, although they are not higher than those in Datang, but they also have twenty or thirty Tang Yuan per month. However, in a mid-range restaurant like Hujiang, a meal is almost three to five yuan, which is not expensive for most local consumers in Datang, but for local workers, it is one-tenth of a month's consumption, so they naturally dare not come in.

In fact, when it came to providing labor remuneration for the locals, Datang did not think about comparing it with the domestic standard, but in the end, Datang obviously wanted to unify the whole country, and with Datang's current extremely high standard of income, the national finance was the first to be dragged down. In fact, if Datang is a small country with a population of millions to 10 million, it can maintain an extremely high standard of living and income, but if Datang is a country with a population of hundreds of millions across the ocean, it is obviously impossible to fully maintain this situation.

In terms of purely military income. The average salary of Tang Jun is 70 yuan per month, and if Tang Jun is 50,000 posts, then the annual personnel maintenance cost is 42 million Tang Yuan. The Datang Ministry of Defense also needs to maintain the Wuwei Army and the Wuyi Army, and it is impossible for them to pay their salaries according to the standard of the Datang regular army, because these 60,000 people are as many as 40 or 50 million Tang Yuan. So what was the monthly salary of the Qing army's green camp before?

The highest monthly salary for the horse army is two taels, and the soldier is one tael and five cents. One or two guards, all three buckets of rice per month. Converted into Tang Yuan, that is, four yuan of six cents and four cents, three pieces of four cents and eight cents, two pieces of three cents and two cents, and thirty catties of rice.

The average salary of the Wuwei Army is 30 Tang Yuan, and the monthly salary of ordinary soldiers is 25 to 28 yuan, and many officers are also Tang Army officers, so they only take the salary of the Tang Army, and the Qing officers of the Tang Dynasty Ministry of Defense do not pay their salaries in full, and the Qing court also pays part of them. Then the income of an ordinary soldier of the Armed Guards. It is already nearly ten times the number of soldiers of the original Green Battalion. Not to mention, the food of the Wu Wei Army is similar to that of the Tang Army, and the food is naturally much better than that of the Green Camp and the Eight Banners, and there is also a nutritional match.

Even so, it is still unavoidable, and the income of the soldiers of the Wuwei Army is half of that of the Tang Army.

However, comparing the situation in European countries, in fact, the income of Datang soldiers is also very high. An average British Royal Navy sailor earns around £10 a year. That is, more than seventy yuan of Tang Yuan, and a private of the Tang Army earns less than seventy yuan a month. But it's one hundred and twenty dollars for two months. In fact, the naval sailors of the Tang Army belong to the technical arms, and the salary is 67 Tang Yuan per month, which is close to the annual salary of a British sailor. The annual salary of a British frigate captain is 50 pounds, which is equivalent to more than 300 Tang yuan, which is equivalent to three months' salary of a captain of a Tang frigate.

It can be seen from this that the Tang Republic has changed from ordinary workers to soldiers. The overall income is on the high side. Datang will not have a hard time maintaining this salary level now, but it will obviously be more troublesome to carry the whole of China at once. So there needs to be a process, and it's going to be long. At least for a large period. Datang North America has always led the Far East and the world in terms of revenue.

"Although we can actually get paid to a lower level, it doesn't help us," Bai said. We exploit the labor of the locals, but we do not give them enough spending power. At present, at least the residents of the Special Administrative Region and the soldiers of the armed guard army can afford to buy a lot of the goods we produce, and this will naturally be beneficial to the development of our economy. Moreover, I believe that the domestic economic sector has this consideration: at present, we are absorbing a large number of immigrants to North America, and we occupy a considerable part of the labor-intensive industries such as textiles and light industry, and in 20 years, it is obvious that this industry will be transferred, and at that time we naturally want to move to the homeland of China, which has a larger population and cheaper labor. If we start with a very high price for labor in China, where will our labor-intensive industries move thereafter? Moreover, the transfer of a large number of light industries will quickly push up the degree of industrialization and modernization of a region. ”

Bai Nan even knew when this wave of industrial transfer would begin, and it was obvious that when the Qing Dynasty still existed, Datang would only invest in some resource production enterprises here, as well as some service enterprises. Once the Qing Dynasty collapsed and Datang officially entered Shenzhou, then this large-scale industrial transfer tide would appear. At that time, it should be the period when the Qing economy collapsed under the violent impact of the Tang Dynasty, and large-scale industrial transfer could quickly save the economy and provide employment. Moreover, considering that there should be a long time before this point in time, Datang should basically develop the domestic light industry to a certain limit at that time, and it is almost time to transfer.

Bai Nam also believes that this kind of transfer cannot be the same as the industrial transfer of the West, Japan and South Korea to China in the 90s of the 20th century. First of all, Datang is not a capitalist country, and its economic layout requires a reasonable layout rather than simply pursuing profits, so it is impossible for the local industry to be like the American lighthouse country in the 21st century, and the manufacturing industry is basically hollowed out.

He was eating and chatting at this table, at this time, there seemed to be a new customer in the store, Bai Nan looked up and found that it was three women, especially a young woman in her early thirties, who was charming and charming. Bai Nan looked at her with a familiar face, and always felt that she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it.

The woman said quite magnificently: "Shopkeeper, find a cleaner seat and serve a pot of tea." ”

The waiter greeted him with a smile and took the three women to their seats.

Xiao Tao looked at the tall man in a suit and sunglasses standing by the door of the hotel, and whispered to the seventh sister: "Seventh sister, this store is weird, there is a person standing at the door, and his temperament is like what kind of eagle claw grandson, the person in the public gate." Seventh sister, eh, seventh sister, did you hear Xiao Tao and me? ”

The seventh sister really didn't hear her words, because her eyes were attracted by the man in a white navy uniform in the seat not far away. Five years ago, the man was dressed in a similar outfit, but the epaulettes didn't seem to have the stars on them. At this time, the two looked at each other, Bai Nan was full of doubts, while the seventh sister was full of excitement.

Neither Xiao Tao nor Xing'er had ever seen Bai Nan, so the two girls were also a little stunned.

The seventh sister didn't twist, she walked over with a graceful demeanor, and opened her mouth to be a crispy daughter's voice, she asked: "Bai Daban, do you remember the seventh sister of the Heaven and Earth Society who robbed your ship back then?" ”

Bai Nan's head cleared, and he finally remembered who this woman was. Back then, she took someone to touch her boat, and she even had a fight with her, her skills were good, and the two finally got together, and Bai Nan, who was still a virgin at that time, really remembered her soft and warm daughter's body.

It's just that Bai Nan hasn't spoken yet, and the stake-like guards over there can hear the three words Heaven and Earth Meeting. The Heaven and Earth Society is now the enemy of the Tang Army, so it is impossible for the people of the Heaven and Earth Society to come to Bai Nan for a good thing. And the guards have received a lot of security and intelligence training, and will never underestimate women. They are like poisonous snakes, and they do it when they are most silent and ignored, which makes people feel more troublesome.

In a flash of lightning, a guard swooped over and pressed Bai Nan under him, and another guard stepped forward and immediately pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the seventh sister's head.

Xing'er and Xiao Tao were startled, especially Xing'er's face turned white with fright. She naturally understood who the man the seventh sister was looking for, and in her concept, the Tang people were all heinous villains, and when they met, they pulled out their guns, so they were naturally ready to kill.

Bai Nan couldn't laugh or cry a little, patted the guard who threw himself down and fell hard, and said, "It's okay, this is an acquaintance, there is no danger." ”

The guard said, "The people of the Heaven and Earth Society are always at risk, at least we will search them first, and ask the governor to keep your distance." ”

Bai Nan smiled bitterly: "You are a few men who are five big and three thick, and they are three female compatriots, how can you search your body?" ”

The guard was not unaware of the flexibility and said, "Please come to Miss Waitress." ”

The seventh sister felt a little annoyed, and said: "Your style was not so big before, but the official has become bigger, and it has also been put on a show." ”

Bai Nan arched his hand, quite angry, and said: "Heroine, forgive me, I am not a spectrum, I have to come like this according to the rules." ”

The seventh sister snorted, thinking that his attitude was okay, and said: "No need to search my body, I do have a dagger on my body, but I am a woman walking outside, and I will always leave some guys to defend myself." ”

With that, she pulled out a dagger from her boots, and the guard wanted to get it, but was glared at by the seventh sister. Bai Nandao: "Well, the lady's self-defense dagger seems to be a personal item, and it is inconvenient for gay men to get their hands on it, so put it on the table." ”

However, in the end, the guard dutifully asked a waitress to search the three of the seven sisters, but he was also polite, and after making sure that there was no problem, he apologized to them. The seventh sister sat in front of Bai Nan. (To be continued.) )
