Chapter 161: Chang'an Rectification Plan

Before the New Year Festival in the third year of Emperor Jingdi, most of the stewards and craftsmen in the Tian's Commercial Group or the Royal Industrial Group received more or less rewards, which was the so-called year-end bonus in the mouth of the owner.

In fact, Tian Sheng and Liu Fei, who are at the helm of the two groups, are both models of annihilating businessmen, not great benevolent people. The reason for the establishment of the year-end bonus system is due to Liu Che's strong request.

Although the year-end bonus is small, Liu Che tries to make a small impact on the stable class structure of the Han Dynasty.

In their opinion, the biggest difference between working and farming is not the type of work, but the way of income. The artisan receives the monthly order, and the farmer is the output of the field.

According to psychological speculation, every harvest in the autumn of a bumper year, farmers will get a lot of income at one time during the harvest season. Even if the value is not worth the annual income of the craftsman, it will still produce a great sense of satisfaction, and even a sense of superiority for no reason. This also directly led to the fact that most peasants refused to leave the land and go to the cities to work, because they always had a sense of instability in their monthly payments.

And Liu Che's insistent demand for the establishment of a year-end bonus system is to create a harvest season for the working class, and before the New Year's Festival, a large bounty in this family reunion festival is obviously very impactful to those who originally disdained to work.

Tian Sheng and Liu Fei were originally reluctant to spill a large sum of money, but under the pressure of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they announced the so-called year-end performance appraisal and reward and punishment system. However, to their surprise, the stewards and craftsmen in the group almost immediately burst out with tens of millions of enthusiasm, and the efficiency of the entire group simply increased several steps in an instant.

Even some craftsmen who originally liked to steal and play tricks began to desperately find something to do. There is no other reason than the word "reward and punishment". Liu Che is not stupid, he hates the big pot of rice even more, since he arranged a "bumper harvest" for the hard-working craftsmen, he naturally did not forget to arrange a "disaster year" for the craftsmen who steal and play tricks.

According to the performance appraisal system of the multinational group in later generations, Liu Che arranged a multi-level reduction of monthly penalties for craftsmen with too low performance, and the heaviest punishment was dismissal and never hiring.

Liu Che understands very well that in the absence of a complaint channel, the rights and interests of the group's craftsmen will inevitably be infringed. However, he still did not set up a similar body to the trade union organization of later generations, and he really did not want the Han Dynasty to have several general strikes or even a working class revolution before industrialization, which would be too tragic.

In short, Liu Che is not a good person, what he wants is to quickly promote the industrialization process of the Han Dynasty. As for other hidden dangers, he felt that his wisdom was insufficient, so he should leave it to future generations to solve.

The upcoming New Year's Festival is undoubtedly extremely joyful and even exciting for Wang Laoshi's family.

Aunt Wang will be in charge of the intensive farm for a year, she originally did not know a single word, with the traditional Chinese women's unique diligence and tenacity surname, hard to memorize the rules of the farm, firmly imprinted in her mind. Over the course of a year, the two chicken houses she manages are the most productive and of the highest quality of all the chicken houses on the farm......

According to the articles of association of the group, the chief manager gave her a high year-end bonus of nearly 10,000 yuan, and also awarded her a silver medal, which was engraved with four small seals of "breeding pacesetter". This is also out of the bad taste of the prince Liu Che, he even suggested that the two groups put forward a lot of simple slogans similar to "the group is my home, come together to build him", and held a lot of competitions called "skill ** martial arts", which is called to enhance the sense of honor of the group's employees.

In short, Aunt Wang is indeed very proud now, as long as someone visits, she will definitely take out the medal to show off, as if it is a rare treasure. At this time, Wang Laoshi was a little wilted. There is no other reason, in the construction company's "Mason ** Wu", he failed to win the ranking, did not get the medal, and always felt that he was compared to his mother-in-law and lost face.

"Old man, you will go and ask the tenants of the old mansion if they will renew the lease after the New Year, and if they don't renew the lease, they will find tenants again." Aunt Wang rubbed her dough and instructed Wang honestly.

Wang Laoshi rolled his eyelids and pouted: "What's the hurry?" Do you want to kick people out? ”

"Now my monthly income has also risen to 2,000 yuan, and with your monthly income, our family can have 5,000 yuan a month. The year-end bonus adds up to 20,000 yuan, do you want to buy a big house again? Aunt Wang's eyes sparkled tentatively.

"What? Buying a house again? Wang honestly opened his mouth wide, surprised by his mother-in-law's crazy thoughts. In just two years, Aunt Wang has bought two houses in a row. Coupled with the original old mansion, in this crowded Chang'an City, the Wang family already has three sets of houses, which can be regarded as a wealthy family among the common people.

Aunt Wang continued to pout, "What's wrong? If you hide some money at home, you won't have cubs, so it's better to buy a house. ”

"Now the houses in the city are much more expensive than before, and they cost tens of thousands of dollars at every turn, where do we get so much extra money?" Wang honestly smiled bitterly and persuaded him, trying to dispel his mother-in-law's crazy **.

Aunt Wang ignored the flour on her hands, folded her fingers and calculated carefully for a moment, and said with a smug smile: "Our family has saved 70,000 or 80,000 yuan this year, which is enough to buy a three-entry mansion!" ”

Wang honestly shook his head and said: "Don't forget, after the New Year's Festival to worship the ancestors, the eldest brother will go to Chang'an City to find an errand, and he must bring our father, sister-in-law and two dolls." This drags the family, and the expenses are indispensable, and you don't want to keep some extra money? ”

When she mentioned this, Aunt Wang was even more energetic: "Even my brother has to go to the city to work, so he has to buy another big house." When the time comes, our family will move to a new house, and this house will temporarily let my father and my brother's family live, and it will also save renting to unfamiliar people, and rudely damage the house's belongings. ”

Wang honestly thought about it, and it was the same reason, so he didn't object again. The house they live in now has taken a lot of effort and money to take care of. The walls of the bricks and stones are evenly smeared with lime, and even on the walls of several rooms, there are scrapped tiles bought at a low price by Wang Laoshi through the relationship between the Tian steward in the building materials market. The belongings in the house are all defective products with slight flaws, but in the homes of ordinary people, they are really extravagant.

It can be said that now this house is much more high-end and high-grade than the mansions of most local tyrants in the surrounding suburbs. Now Wang Laoshi doesn't pay much attention to the rent of hundreds of dollars, but he feels sorry for this house, if it is damaged by the tenant, it will not be made up for by the rent.

When the dog came home, the two asked him what he meant. Goudan has long been familiar with the affairs of businessmen, and knows that buying a house in Chang'an City is really a profitable business, so he raises his hands in favor. Mr. and Mrs. Wang Laoshi are very concerned about the opinions of dogs, this stinky boy is born to be a businessman.

Since the construction of new workshops in Chang'an City, the recruitment of craftsmen from various counties in Gyeonggi, and the "Yonghe Soybean Milk" opened by Goudan and his classmates in Dongshi, it can be said that the business is booming. Every month, the dog can get more than 1,000 dollars. If they hadn't invested the money they earned again and set up a few more branches, I am afraid that they would be small rich people with thousands of dollars now.

Just when Aunt Wang was looking around to buy a house, the crown prince Liu Chezheng summoned Tian Sheng and Liu Fei to discuss the reconstruction plan of the civilian area in Beique, Chang'an. In the past year, tens of thousands of immigrants poured into Chang'an City, making the already slightly crowded Chang'an City even more overcrowded. The urbanization process of the Han Dynasty came quietly and inadvertently, which caught Liu Che off guard.

The ministers in the court have long been aware of this wonderful big trouble. While they rejoiced in the prosperity of the capital, they also expressed concern about the steady stream of immigrants. Many ministers even put forward plans to expand Chang'an City, and Emperor Jing, who has become more and more wealthy in recent years, gladly accepted and put forward the regulations as soon as possible with the relevant government offices.

However, the expansion of the capital city was not hastily implemented, and required a detailed demonstration and planning, and even the five elements of Feng Shui had to be taken into account. For the current situation, it is clear that there is no urgency.

As a traverser, Liu Che has a deeper understanding of the various problems encountered in the process of urbanization than the monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty. He knows that if it is not resolved as soon as possible, it will bury extremely serious hidden dangers, and even exacerbate the conflict between new immigrants and local residents.

In fact, a large number of newly built workshops are set up outside Chang'an City, but the craftsmen in the workshops still prefer to walk more than ten miles every time they work, but also settle down in Chang'an City.

Liu Che can somewhat understand their thoughts, in the cold weapons of the war, the tall and thick walls can bring a greater sense of security to the people. Moreover, the residents of Chang'an City feel that they live at the feet of the Son of Heaven in their bones, and they are much more noble than the soil buns outside the city for no reason.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Che decided to start by saving living space and replacing the civil structure with brick and stone houses in the civilian area. In the feudal era, the hierarchy was strict, and the houses in Chang'an City could not be higher than the buildings in the palace. Therefore, in order to avoid exceeding the system and have enough living space, the houses in Chang'an City generally occupy too much land and waste a lot of space.

In masonry houses, the ceiling height can be reduced by reducing the number of beams. Even a three-story building is much lower than a two-story wooden structure. In this way, the lack of horizontal space can be made up by the vertical space, and the problem of insufficient living space in civilian areas can be temporarily solved.

For Liu Che's idea, Tian Sheng and Liu Fei both expressed great interest. But Liu Che did not agree to Liu Fei's proposal to rebuild in Beique Jiadi, he didn't want Chang'an City to become a steel jungle for future generations, and now the powerful people gather in Beique Jiadi, all kinds of gardens, pavilions and water pavilions are beautiful in his eyes, and they must be preserved well and left for future generations.

In the end, the reconstruction of the civilian area was entrusted to the construction company of the Tian Commercial Group, and the Imperial Industrial Group undertook a more important project, the construction of the drainage system in the north of Chang'an, so as to accumulate experience for the future construction of a complete drainage system in Miyagi and even the whole city.

People who have not been to the early Han Dynasty cannot appreciate how important the drainage system is. Liu Che, who has traveled several times in micro-clothes, is really disgusted by the smell of scratching everywhere in Chang'an. In the rainy season, there are many places in Chang'an City that are seriously waterlogged, and the problem of waterlogging has not been solved well for many years.

Liu Che's expectation for the capital of the Han Dynasty is not only the center of the world's culture, economy and politics, but also a garden city that can be used as a benchmark. (To be continued.) )
