"First of all, you want to cooperate with the Shuo County government, you have mined coal, and you must give two of the profits to the Shuo County government, which is called the coal resource use fee." Chen Fei said.

And that Zeng Qing thought for a moment and said, "Okay! ”

When Chen Fei heard this, he knew that Zeng Qing had compromised. And Chen Fei knew that if such a large amount of coal was discovered in later generations, it would probably be arranged by the national unity, and local governments would not be qualified to get their hands on such a large scale of coal. However, in ancient times, there was no coal control, and the resources controlled by the state were mainly salt, iron and copper, and the vast majority of other resources would not be controlled. Coal was not a cherished resource at all in ancient times, and if the people wanted to get it themselves, they could just mine it directly, and sometimes they didn't even bother to collect taxes.

However, Chen Fei must collect it, after all, this coal is a treasure, and he can't let this Zeng Qing mine it himself. And not only do you have to charge it, but you also have to charge an additional fee. The tax system of the Tang Dynasty was relatively simple, that is, agricultural tax and commercial tax, and the commercial tax was 30 tax 1, but it was only 3.3 percent. But Chen Fei knows the huge profits of coal, with the promotion of honeycomb coal, the profits of coal in the end are also very high, how can Chen Fei only charge according to 3.3% of such a huge profit? Therefore, Chen Fei also "invented" a resource use fee, and levied a user fee on this businessman who was about to enter the coal industry. This is also to avoid the rule that local governments cannot increase additional taxes. Chen Fei is also playing the edge ball of the Tang Dynasty law, anyway, he is indirectly increasing taxes.

"Also, when the time comes, you will again take out five percent of the profits and hand them over to one of my private funds. But don't worry, I won't touch a penny of this fund, and all this money is used for charity. That is, to help the people build bridges and pave roads, and what are all kinds of relief for orphans and widows, etc., this money is not mine! Chen Fei said.

"Good!" Zeng Qing gritted his teeth and said.

Zeng Qing regarded this so-called charity fund as Chen Fei's own private treasury. He was cooperating with him as Chen Fei, and then Zeng Qing put the profits into it, that is, he gave Chen Fei the money. This is equivalent to Chen Fei and Zeng Qing colluding with officials and businessmen, and then Chen Fei received profit dividends. This is equivalent to the dividends that Chen Fei received from participating in dark stocks.

Next, Chen Fei continued: "I tell you, you can't abuse those miners who dig coal mines for you in the future." In addition, you should ask a doctor to give them a physical examination every six months, if they are sick, you cannot force them to continue working, and you will also pay them 80% of their previous salary during the process of recuperation. ”

Chen Fei had heard too many black-hearted coal bosses in later generations. Of course, we must first prevent this from happening. After all, Chen Fei knew that although the coal was excavated in the open air and the danger was relatively small, long-term exposure to coal would also cause some damage to the body. In particular, those coal dust enters the respiratory tract, which is harmful to the body. Therefore, Chen Fei must put an end to these things after working for the boss, and as a result, he will not be able to get medical treatment and compensation if he has physical problems. Therefore, Chen Fei had to make this Zeng Qing promise not to give up these miners, and they had to give them vacation when they were sick, and give them eighty percent of their wages.

"This ......" Zeng Qing hesitated.

"Why, people are sick from your work, don't you want to be responsible?" Chen Fei asked unhappily.

"Good!" Zeng Qing reluctantly agreed.

Then. Chen Fei also said: "You have to give the workers three days off every month, that is, every nine days, one day off." Also, work no more than four hours a day. ”

"Impossible! At least five hours! Zeng Qing immediately said anxiously.

"Good. That's five hours! Chen Fei said.

"......" Zeng Qing could only suffer this dumb loss.

The reason why Chen Fei said that he worked four hours a day, that is, eight hours, was just a means to make Zeng Qing take the initiative to lower his conditions. Four hours, or eight hours. In later generations, it was the eight-hour workday. However, Chen Fei knew that it was impossible to implement the eight-hour working day in the productive forces of ancient times. In ancient times, productivity was too low, and you had to do more things to be able to exchange for enough necessities for survival. The reason why the eight-hour work week was introduced in later generations. That's because productivity is sufficient, so you can reduce your working hours.

In the Tang Dynasty, officials had to work ten hours a day, let alone ordinary people! Therefore, the reason why Chen Fei opened his mouth for four hours was not really to fight for the eight-hour work system for absenteeism, but actually to let Zeng Qing take the initiative to lower the conditions. As a result, as soon as Zeng Qing opened his mouth, he said that it would be five hours, that is, ten hours, and Chen Fei would immediately open the deduction to "confirm" this condition. Chen Fei was able to get these absentees to win ten hours of work, which was not easy. Chen Fei will not continue to lower the conditions, after all, if the conditions continue to be lowered, Zeng Qing may not agree to cooperate with Shuoxian.

Although Chen Fei has never been a miner, he knows the hard work of miners. The miners are not only hard, but also dangerous, so Chen Fei must fight for them more conditions, so that he can be worthy of his conscience. Since Chen Fei wants to develop coal, he naturally can't follow the old path of his previous life and obtain high profits by exploiting miners. If the profits are high enough, why bother exploiting them? Chen Fei also wanted the scribe to be a model for treating his workers well, and then let all kinds of merchants also be able to treat their employees preferentially, so that they could be truly kind.

However, Chen Fei's official position is still too low, and it is impossible to set up any laws for businessmen to treat employees preferentially, but he can use some of the power and influence around him to make others do what he expects. After all, how much ability you have, then you can do as much as you can. As long as Chen Fei does his best, it will be in vain to cross this time. As long as you try your best to fight for this country and this nation, then there is nothing to regret.

"Alright, in a few days you go recruit people, and then you can go and dig up the dirt on those open-pit coal mines, and get ready to mine the coal. Then we had the woodcutters turn their careers into honeycomb coal workers, specialize in making honeycomb coal, and then sell it. First of all, we must promote honeycomb coal within the scope of Shuozhou, so that honeycomb coal can enter thousands of households. Chen Fei said.
