About six months ago, the project of the steel plant in Wanghaizhou began. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After the New Year, about 6,000 workers came to Pontianak in Wanghai Prefecture to officially start the construction of the steel plant.

Most of the 6,000 workers are from Annan and Lanfang, but some are new immigrants from the Republic of China.

Of course, most of the newcomers worked as foremen or squad leaders, and their status was always much higher than that of the Annam and the local aborigines.

Although the Lanfang government gives various preferential treatment to new immigrants, such as the division of houses and land, there will always be some people who are unwilling to farm, or disdain to farm, so these people are assigned to various factories, and they will be workers in the future.

Although Lanfang's industry has a huge plan, so far except for the oil fields in Daqing, everything else is blueprints, and the new immigrants who want to become workers must first build factories.

So these workers, who thought they would become "city people" in one step, had their first job to build factories.

This is understandable, but in the eyes of some people who are not willing to be "mediocre", this is tantamount to overkill, and they will naturally have "unfair" thoughts.

Coupled with the provocation of some well-intentioned people, a general strike finally took place.

After four months of construction, the steel plant has actually begun to take shape, the land here has been leveled, all kinds of material supplies are very sufficient, the current plant and workers' dormitories have been completed, large equipment has entered the site to prepare for assembly, at most in another six months, the steel plant can be basically completed.

Is it fast?

Compared with the daily punctual commuting, this speed is indeed fast.

But compared to the Chinese who rush to work day and night, this speed is deserved.

Once the hard-working Chinese see hope, their enthusiasm is unparalleled, and although the Pontianak government has repeatedly reiterated the need to combine work and rest, almost all of them will choose to work overtime, and they will finish the work as soon as possible so that they can get more rewards.

The Annam and local aborigines were hired, and according to a pre-signed agreement, the construction period was set at one year, and the Pontianak government gave a certain reward for each day of completion earlier.

Of course, in the eyes of some people, this kind of incentive has also become a recognized evidence of the cruel oppression of capitalists.

Well, in the eyes of some people, the rich can be evidence of the exploitation of workers, regardless of what they do.

The strike at the Pontianak Iron and Steel Plant immediately aroused the Pontianak government's idea, and on the morning of the same day, Prime Minister Hoang Bo Han flew from Surabaya, the seat of the Lan Phong government, to Pontianak to settle the matter with the Pontianak government.

This is the first workers' movement in Lanfang, and it is also the first mass incident after the founding of Lanfang, how to deal with this matter has important reference value for dealing with similar incidents in the future, so not to mention the government, even the "Daily News" sent reporters to Pontianak.

In makeshift tents, which have been used as headquarters, workers' representatives are negotiating with management representatives and government representatives. Outside the tent, there were armed soldiers on guard, and under the big tree a little farther away, Huang Li and Wu Qing sat on bamboo recliners and waited, their faces not looking good.

"It's really special to let "Internal Reference" say, these old hairies are really uneasy and kind, these melon babies are also broken, I actually believe those old hairymen, read so many books, and learn all the knowledge in the dog's belly!" Huang Li's expression was grim, and his mouth was full of scolding.

"You just stop, you have to be sent to Turtle Back Island before you are willing?" Wu Qing flickered with a big fan, and his mouth kept complaining.

Huang Li and Wu Qing led the 32nd Regiment to return to the Republic of China, but because of improper handling, the "Tianjin Wharf Incident" occurred.

Huang Li and Wu Qing are both old qualifications, they both have shares in the LLL company, although the shares are not much, but they are much more than the salary, so they don't care about the fine or anything.

It's okay not to care about money, but there's something for them to care.

Because of this mistake, the two people were excluded from the Northern Expeditionary Corps and transferred to Pontianak as the commander of the garrison, or two people in the team.

This has become a blessing and a curse, Wu Qing has no restraint in front of Huang Li, complaining when he should complain, laughing at ridicule, the relationship between the two is much better.

"What do you mean by my stoppage? What decisions do I make that you don't agree with? If you don't agree with it, what can I do? Of course, Huang Li didn't admit it.

"Hmph, now I'll give you the power, I should catch it in a while, I should fight, you're welcome." Wu Qing's eyebrows didn't raise his eyebrows, and the old god was there.

"Catch? Do you dare to catch? Huang Li had palpitations.

After experiencing the "Tianjin Wharf Incident", Huang Li was already extremely afraid of the mass movement, as the so-called: once bitten by a snake for ten years, Huang Li did not think that a violent solution was a good idea.

"Cut! Don't you look at who is making trouble? If it were our soldiers, maybe Qin Ye would still have good things to say, but now in the face of these little monkeys, do you think Qin Ye and Huang Ye will tolerate and connive? "Wu Qing has seen through the red dust.

The current Qin Zhiyuan and Huang Bohan have supreme prestige in Lanfang, and in some fields, Huang Bohan's reputation is even higher than Qin Zhiyuan.

If it weren't for Huang Bohan and Huang Jinsheng going to France to catch up with Qin Zhiyuan, Lan Fang would still be missing now, the Dutch should still rule here, and the life of the Chinese is still in dire straits.

Therefore, for Lan Fang, although Qin Zhiyuan's role as a "protector" is of great significance, Huang Bohan's contribution as an "initiator" is not small.

That's why Wu Qing and the others will say "Huang Ye" to Huang Bohan, so Huang Bohan's avatar will be printed on the 50 yuan version of the banknote.

"Hmph, since you can fight and catch, then it doesn't matter if you kill half of it." Huang Li was ruthless.

Having experienced the shame of the "Tianjin Wharf Incident", Huang Li has gone from one extreme to the other.

The "Tianjin Wharf Incident" has now been characterized as a misunderstanding caused by some well-intentioned people who deliberately provoked it.

But for Huang Li and the soldiers of the 32nd Regiment, the "Tianjin Wharf Incident" is a shame, and they will remember it for the rest of their lives.

"Even if it is killed, we don't need to do it ourselves, and it will tarnish our reputation. Do you think about who the acting governor of Indochina is, and he will make our Qin Ye suffer? "Wu Qingdong is like watching the fire.

That's right, the current acting governor of Indochina is Bastian, and if he needs to kill people, Bastian will naturally do it.

The reason why he is the "acting governor" is because the French War Department still reserves this position for Qin Zhiyuan, waiting for Qin Zhiyuan to take office, so Bastian is only the acting governor.

Outside, Huang Li and Wu Qing were chatting lively, and the verbal battles in the tent were not inferior at all.

“…… Therefore, we demand that the eight-hour working day be resolutely implemented, that the working hours cannot be extended arbitrarily, and that work should be stopped when the weather is hot, and that the workers should be paid more than the French and Germans for equal work...... "Zheng Daling demanded as a representative of the workers.

"Wait a minute, don't make so many requests in one breath, let's say them one by one." The representative of the management side, who is also Lanfang's Minister of Industry, and Qin Zhiyuan's personal butler Huang Fugui is slow and reasonable.

"About this eight-hour working day, I have a statistic here, the current French implementation of the 11-hour working system, the United Kingdom and the United States have no specific regulations, but usually the working hours are more than 11 hours, we stipulate that eight hours is already very humane, even if it is beyond the working hours, there will be corresponding compensation, is it not right to let workers earn a little more? Are you sure that your request is what all workers want? Huang Fugui's voice was not high, but the content of his speech was a bit heart-wrenching.

"As for equal pay for equal work, those French and Germans are drawing drawings, you are construction, and the work you are engaged in is inherently different, how can you get equal pay for equal work? If you are asked to draw drawings, can you draw them? If you can draw, equal pay for equal work is fine, but if you can't draw, why should you get equal pay for equal work with those people? You keep saying that you want to be fair now, but people are almost learning since they were born, receiving all kinds of education, you have been playing since you were born, and now you can't even recognize all the Chinese characters, if those people are now earning as much money as you, do you think this is fair? After Huang Fugui finished speaking, he looked at the dumbfounded Zheng Daling, waiting for Zheng Daling's rebuttal.

Zheng Daling can still speak, Zheng Daling has only been in Russia for a few months, and he knows only half about the Bolsheviks in Russia, and even many real old Maozi don't quite understand what the concept of Bolshevik is, Zheng Daling definitely can't say it clearly, let alone have no experience in fighting against old oilmen like Huang Fugui.

After waiting for a long time, Huang Fugui didn't get the response he wanted, so he continued to chatter: "If you joined the factory for 30 years, and finally became a master, with the experience of a tenth-level fitter or a tenth-level turner, and can receive thousands of francs a month, and now suddenly a bunch of hairy boys come and ask to earn as much as you, what would you think?" "Huang Fugui seeks truth from facts.

After following Qin Zhiyuan for a long time, Huang Fugui will also change the concept secretly, and he is still very skilled in this hand.

"We don't get enough education because we don't have the opportunity, and if we had the chance, we wouldn't be worse than them." Zheng Daling is ambitious.

"Well, now that you've admitted it, at least at this stage, you do have a gap with them, so why are you asking for equal pay for equal work?" Huang Fugui doesn't talk about the future, only about the present.

While he was talking, a secretary walked in quickly, delivered a telegram to Huang Bohan, and then whispered a few more words.

Huang Bohan looked at the telegram in his hand, his face was cloudy.

After reading it, Huang Bohan handed the telegram to Huang Fugui and stood up: "Okay, don't talk about it!" ”

Don't talk about it?

Zheng Daling suddenly shouted in his heart that it was not good!
