On the fourth day of the crossing, the entire Manchester City base does not seem to have changed much, except for a group of busy people on the banks of the Swan River, plus a group of natives who cover key parts with leaves and various shelters are working, the entire base is basically unchanged from before the crossing.

However, Sister Ren and Hu Xijing, who manage logistics, seem to have discovered that something is wrong, and it has only been a short four days since the crossing, but the grain reserves are declining rapidly. This had to make her a little worried that the Manchester City base would enter a food shortage crisis in advance.

Although part of the wasteland in the agricultural group has been ploughed and seeds have been sown, it takes a cycle for plants to grow, and if these reserves are rapidly depleted before there is no external source of imported food, then the problem can be imagined.

Sister Ren immediately reported this important discovery to Zhou Lao and Wang Tiehammer, and the two current top leaders looked at Sister Ren with a puzzled expression.

"Not to mention that the food reserves are enough to eat at least a few months, how can it be consumed so much."

Along with Sister Ren was Hu Xijing from the Logistics Management Office, a former bank executive, who was the first to notice the problem, and Sister Ren pulled her over to let her explain.

"Commissioner Zhou, Commissioner Wang, in fact, the key to the problem is in the supply, the supply method we currently adopt is very problematic, the supply of the big pot rice is easy to breed the formation of laziness, although it has not appeared in our team at present, but it will definitely appear in the long run, and there is another problem, that is, that part of the people from the Ming Dynasty, we should formulate a clear employment system, and it should not be the same for them and for ourselves."

Hu Da Mei said to herself, completely ignoring the expressions of other people in the room, some of the lazy guys who were eating a big pot of rice unconsciously showed a slight red on their faces.

Zhou Lao seemed very interested in her statement, took a sip of tea, pointed to a chair, and motioned for her to sit down and speak slowly.

"It's important to have a clear employment relationship and food distribution in place to increase productivity and prevent someone from hiding the food and creating a food crisis."

"Someone is hiding food," Wang Tiehammer looked at Hu Xijing with a look of disbelief, in his mind, this kind of thing should not happen, except for saying that he hid some snacks, even if he hid some food, it was useless, and he couldn't make it without pots and pans.

"Commissar Wang, this is true, don't believe it, maybe it won't happen in our group of modern people, but in that group of people in the Ming Dynasty who experienced the famine, they often secretly stored the food that they couldn't eat, and the purpose of doing this was to take it out to satisfy their hunger when they couldn't eat, although there was nothing wrong with this practice, but it was fatal to our current food supply."

"So my approach is that we should have a compensation system in place as soon as possible." Hu Xijing finally got to the point, and the old and refined Zhou Lao naturally saw this, although the problems mentioned above existed, but what she really wanted to express was the last problem.

Zhou Aiguo smiled: "It seems that our Comrade Xiaohu should have a certain idea of the economic order of the establishment of the Manchester City base, and this matter will be handed over to you to be responsible, and you can draw the talents you need from the corresponding professionals in each group to study and formulate a set of current employment and salary management systems suitable for the Manchester City base." ”

"That, that, Mr. Zhou, in fact, I have already worked out the specific plan and several former financial system workers."

Hu Xijing said with some embarrassment, no matter how she said it now, it seems like she had planned it a long time ago, as a high-IQ beauty, she knows that this is not good, it will make people a little scared and repulsed.

"Ao, in this way, it seems that we will all be more like Xiaohu in the future, and we should not only think about the front action but also walk in the front, so as to benefit the collective."

Zhou Lao could see her embarrassment from Hu Xijing's eyes and tone, so deliberately saying this could be regarded as diluting other people's views of her.

At the suggestion of Zhou Lao, Hu Xijing took out the labor employment regulations and the purchase system regulations for food distribution formulated by himself and several companions.

According to her terms of employment, the Crossing Congregation was the rightful owner of the base in Australia or Manchester City, as all food and supplies were traversed, and this was made clear before disembarking.

Therefore, the Ming people can only be employed, and cannot become employers. The regulations specify the current distribution of wages among the various types of work, except that children under the age of 16 receive a free food subsidy provided by the Executive Committee, and all adults follow the money purchase system, that is, with the wages earned from their work.

It may seem like a small reform, but its impact is huge, and if it is implemented, it means that the big pot rice system that has been running at the Manchester City base for four days will be abandoned, and the cross-poll will return to the era of market economy.

Although this plan has been formulated, it cannot be approved by Zhou Aiguo and Wang Tiezhu, and the other committee members must nod and agree.

In fact, once this plan is announced, there is almost no resistance, as long as you don't like to be lazy and play tricks, you can see that the benefits of this regulation outweigh the disadvantages, and it is almost difficult for those who want to live by eating a big pot of rice in the future to get mixed in this group, maybe he will be lazy because of work and eating will become a problem.

At the same time, in order to avoid triggering a financial crisis and prevent someone from collecting coins used to buy food, resulting in poor currency circulation at the Manchester City base, she also deliberately noted at the back that the monthly currency that is not used up cannot be left for the next month, and it will be invalid after expiration.

Although this mandatory rule is a bit unpleasant, given the current state of Manchester City's base, it can only be done.

Sure enough, when this plan was pasted on the east side of the dock repair plant with a big-character poster to be used as a propaganda wall, the people who crossed were a little surprised, and some of the Ming people who were surrounded by the side did not fully understand because they were simplified, and they all looked at these compatriots of the former Song Dynasty with curious eyes.

"Does this mean, is the era of big pot rice coming to an end in the future?" "This plan is good, it should have ended a long time ago, and it shouldn't have been eaten in the first place." A more industrious guy said with some joy.

There are pros and consistencies, and a certain guy immediately fought back, "It's not right to adopt the salary system now, the early stage of human society evolved from the era of big pot rice, and the environment we are in now is like this." ”

A day after the big-character poster was posted, in the evening, a notice of assembly and meeting sounded on the radio.

Standing on the unfinished square of Manchester City's base, everyone was quietly discussing the restructuring issue with their companions.

"If you want me to say, it's a good thing to change to a salary system, and you don't have to worry about getting paid for more work than you do less."

"Cut, that's what you say, everyone will be lazy."

"I didn't say it, I was making an analogy."

The quarrel between the two was not too intense, but it still attracted the crowd of onlookers.

"Let's be quiet, gather everyone together today, everyone should also know what is going on, everyone is tired after a day's work, let's adopt a voting system, there are two ballot boxes here, one is to agree to change to a salary system, one is a big pot rice system, you can choose to vote after you receive your votes. The voting is open, fair and just, and finally the number of votes is used to decide whether to reform the system, but in the end, I want to say here that even if the distribution according to work is not passed today, it will be passed sooner or later, and I hope that some of you who are lazy with eating a big pot of rice will not be lucky. ”

Wang Tiezhu took the shouting microphone to explain the voting rules one by one, and then asked the staff to start distributing the ballots. He stepped aside and chatted with the other committee members.

"Captain, it seems a bit inappropriate to really hold this democratic vote, and I don't think there will be too many people against it even if we enforce it."

Chen Wenqing took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, looked at the crowd not far away, and said. In fact, in his view, there are some things that must be coercive, and being too democratic is not necessarily a good thing.

Wang Tiezhu didn't answer, just smiled.

"23 votes for agreement, 24 for disagreement."

"Agree 34, agree 45."

As the staff who counted the votes reported the votes, the majority of those who agreed to the reform won by 50 votes higher than those who disagreed.

At the end of the meeting, Wang Tiehammer, on behalf of the Executive Committee, announced the new employment system of Manchester City base.
