Chapter 155: Hukou Reform
PS: The first update has arrived!
Crackling, crackling!
A long string of firecrackers hung from tall bamboo poles and set off outside a small square with a large area near the Chongwen Gate of Jingshi.
A plaque decorated with big red flowers, hanging high at the door, is the 'Jingshi Labor Market', today is the official opening day of the Jingshi Labor Market.
A large group of ordinary people also came to the door early in the morning, looking at the plaque at the door and discussing.
"I heard that if you want to find a job in the future, you just need to come to this labor market. The employer must sign a contract with us, and we are not afraid that we will not be paid. ”
"Why?"
"This labor market was established by the emperor's decree, and when those enterprises in Beijing recruit workers, they will come to the labor market. After signing a labor contract, who dares not to act according to the contract? ”
"What nonsense are you talking about here! Why don't you go in and have a look. ”
As soon as the Jingshi Labor Market opened, many people immediately poured into it. After entering, I immediately saw that many recruiting units were recruiting.
After a while, someone excitedly shouted: "The Royal Mining Company is hiring again." ”
"Where, where?"
A group of young men immediately looked around excitedly, and soon surrounded a confession point under the shed with the sign of 'Royal Mining Company'.
Now everyone in Jingshi knows that as long as you enter a company with the word "royal", it is an iron rice bowl! Although there is no glory and wealth, it may be quite tiring to work. But the income is guaranteed! And not only income is guaranteed, but also housing, medical care, pension and other benefits.
To put it bluntly, it is to become a worker in a royal enterprise, and from now on, as long as you can produce with peace of mind, you don't have to think about other things. There is a minimum income of three yuan per month, which is more than enough for a family to live. And a family is not just a male laborer, women will also work, and children can also work when they are older. If a family has two laborers, then both go to the royal enterprise. That little day was very nourishing.
They don't have to worry about housing in the back, and the Royal Infrastructure Company is currently building allotment housing for workers of the Royal Enterprise in the suburbs.
Even miners, who have a heavier body burden, are very attractive to ordinary people. Because the wages of miners have risen to 4 yuan per month, which is 1 yuan higher than that of ordinary royal enterprise workers. It's just that the work is more tiring. But being tired is nothing, it's not a problem at all.
This time, the Royal Mining Company confessed to 2,000 people on the spot, because the scale of mining has expanded again. In the first quarter, Royal Mining made a profit of millions of dollars. At this time, all of them were invested in expanding reproduction.
In addition to recruiting 2,000 people in Beijing, other towns in Beizhili also have quotas, and the standard for confession is to recruit nearby.
A large group of young people gathered around the Royal Mining Company, and some people were soon told, "This recruitment requires household registration." If you do not have a household registration, you should first go to the newly established Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for household registration. ”
"What? You also need a household registration! ”
"Nonsense, can you get in without a household registration! I don't know the roots, what if I come to make trouble. ”
"What is the Civil Affairs Bureau?"
"The Civil Affairs Bureau is the new yamen that was established just a few days ago, and in the future, the household registration management of Beizhili will all belong to the Civil Affairs Bureau." A group of people were talking. Passing messages to each other.
The Civil Affairs Bureau is also a newly established department, replacing some of the functions of the Ministry of Households.
The population registration of the household department of the People's Republic of China is a bit of a pitfall, and it is only registered that the households that can pay taxes. It is equivalent to saying that the normal number of household registrations is not the same as the actual population. In addition, there are a large number of hidden black households.
"But you have to pay for the household registration!" Some people said worriedly.
"That's the old yellow calendar, just before the emperor decreed, in the future, the household registration will be divided into agricultural registration, worker registration, business registration, and scholar registration, and the labor registration no longer needs to serve servitude."
"What's the benefit of getting a household registration!"
"The benefits? Look at this labor market, which recruit worker doesn't want you to show your household registration? If you don't have a household registration, you will be a black worker, and you will be owed wages by the owner when the time comes. There is nowhere to sue. ”
"Then this household registration should be difficult to get, right?"
"If there is anything difficult to do, as long as you go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, it will be done for you, and there is no problem where you want to settle down."
The people who did not have a household registration heard it. Immediately hurriedly ran to apply for household registration. Most of the people still have household registration, and they have been transferred from the management of the household department to the civil affairs bureau.
In the labor market, there are many recruiting units.
With the introduction of low-interest loans and the three-year exemption from corporate income tax, coupled with the current economic prosperity of Beizhili, a large amount of investment has naturally appeared. In just two months, the number of privately-funded enterprises has increased by more than 300.
However, there are not so many people who come to the labor market, and now that the employment situation in Beizhili is good, naturally not so many people have time to come to the labor market. Especially in the Jingshi area, there is a shortage of labor. Because the royal enterprises had a large number of confessions in Beijing, many of these workers were transferred out of the capital to work. There was a shortage of labor in the number of directors and teachers, and the phenomenon of labor shortage also appeared.
Jingshi is a city with a lot of power, so the city's service industry is also relatively developed, in ancient times in the world, the most developed service industry is naturally China.
Seeing a group of people looking for jobs gathered around the Royal Mining Company, the recruiters of private enterprises sitting in the sheds on the left and right couldn't sit still.
"Yongmao Textile Factory has confessed, let's take a look! 2 yuan per month for female workers and 3 yuan per month for male workers. "The owner of a newly established textile factory shouted loudly, but no one paid attention to it.
This salary is too mediocre and unattractive, and now the streets of Beijing are full of recruits with this treatment, and many of them are relatively easy.
"Li Ji Kiln Factory confessed, male workers are 4 yuan a month, the number of places is limited, so you have to come early." The owner of a kiln factory on the side shouted loudly, and immediately a group of people surrounded him.
"The quarry has confessed! The daily wage is thirty-five yuan. ”
"The feed factory confesses, and the daily wage is forty yuan!"
The private bosses at the scene have been bidding, but a group of ordinary people who came to look for jobs are looking left and right, one will run over, and the other will run over.
It's really nobody!
If you don't grab it, you won't be able to recruit workers.
The on-site recruitment of workers includes both temporary and permanent workers.
The wages of temporary workers did not exceed 40 yuan, and no one went. You must know that the temporary workers of the Royal Infrastructure Company and the Salt Industry Company have a salary of 30 yuan a day. If you're in town, it's just lunch. If it is a construction outside the city, it is included with three meals a day, and the food is quite good.
In order to recruit workers, it is now also popular for private businessmen to provide food, but the food is obviously not as generous as that of the emperor. And when it comes to paying wages, royal enterprises have always been extremely happy, while private bosses may not be able to give so happily. And when there is a work-related injury, the royal enterprise is very responsible, and the private capital may not be.
Therefore, if the wages of temporary workers recruited by private businessmen are not more than ten cents higher than those of the royal enterprises, they are basically unpopular in this labor market.
The most important thing is to go to the construction site of the Royal Infrastructure Company as a temporary worker, you don't need to look at the face of the owner, as long as you are willing to contribute. The schedule is also very free, and you can settle for half a day's work on the construction site. To work for those private bosses, maybe you have to look at your face.
The news of the merchants in Beijing looting the workers soon appeared in the newspapers.
With the continuous development of construction, there is not only a labor shortage in Beijing, but also in all parts of Beizhili.
A new wave of migrant workers is brewing rapidly, and many businesses are not willing to pay such high wages, so there are no local workers, so they can go to the countryside to recruit workers! If you can't recruit in rural areas, you can go to other provinces to recruit ah!
Daming doesn't have much anything, it's just a lot of people.
At the end of March, Zhu Youxiao established the Beizhili Civil Affairs Bureau. Formal reform of the hukou system began.
Under the new household registration system, all elderly people, children, and women must be registered. However, the household registration policy is relaxed, that is, people from other provinces settle down in Beizhili, as well as agricultural to worker, worker-to-farmer, business-to-business, etc., are very relaxed, and most of the business is free.
Among them, there is no need to be forced for labor, and there is no tax for the time being, and personal income tax will be levied in the future, and the population will be counted for the time being.
In order to completely eliminate the black households, Zhu Youxiao soon decided to reform the grain parity policy.
In the past, the policy of affordable grain was introduced, but because the household registration system was not reformed, in order to avoid the people in need not being able to buy affordable grain, the method adopted was relatively simple.
Now that the household registration system has been reformed, as long as it is linked to affordable grain, it will soon be possible to eliminate black households.
Black households are afraid of paying taxes, so they hide their household registration, and most of them are low-level proletarian workers. If you have assets, you have to go through an official contract, and naturally it can't be a black account.
Then black households can only buy affordable grain if they have applied for household registration, so obviously there will be no black households.
"Li Chaoqing, immediately draft the will. From now on, the sale of grain at a low price will be cancelled and the application will be made according to household registration. Workers who do not have houses, urban land, or who own less than 15 acres of land in rural areas can apply for a quota of affordable grain at the Civil Affairs Bureau. People who own houses and whose income does not exceed 3 yuan per month can also apply for a quota of affordable grain, but they must first issue a certificate of income. The quota is calculated on a per capita basis, with 50 catties per month for young men, 20 catties per month for the elderly and children, and 30 catties per month for women. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Chaoqing hurriedly drafted the decree, and after some polishing, he sent the decree to the cabinet for implementation.
This affordable grain policy is more reliable, and high-income groups will inevitably have some assets, at least a house. Therefore, the proletariat must not have a high income, or is saving money to buy real estate, and these groups have no problem enjoying the policy of affordable grain. Some migrant workers who have moved to the cities still own some land in the rural areas, and most of them have generally abandoned it. Less than 15 mu can also enjoy the quota of affordable grain, mainly to take care of these migrant workers.
Then there is a group of low-income people who are local residents and have houses that have been passed down from their ancestors. For this part of the group, it will be slightly more troublesome to open a certificate of income to enjoy affordable food. (To be continued.) )
