With the decision of the Governor's Palace, the news of the establishment of the Labor Department was very announced. Many newspapers began to publish them, and various current affairs propagandists under the Public Relations Office began to spread the word through various strata of the public. In the end, after listening to it, many people were very excited in their hearts. Because of the existence of current political propagandists, Wang Guorui has the power to propagate policies, and he will not have to preach layer by layer through landlords or certain classes as in the past. And the kind of preaching that relies on the landlord class will inevitably lead them to distort policies that are not in their favor. And with these institutions that directly control the power of propaganda, it is equivalent to directly publicizing the decree into the hearts of every grassroots people, and the benefits obtained in this way are absolutely huge, so that the people can also support them, and there will be no rebellion or anything like that.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as Governor Wang said, now our Taiwan Governor's Office has opened a place called the Labor Department, which is a place dedicated to us workers. If you have any grievances or any unfairness, you can go to this labor office to report it, and then the labor department will make decisions for us. Moreover, in the future, Lord Wang also stipulated that those proprietors could not beat and scold us laborers, and they could not arbitrarily deduct the wages owed to us. Even, if there are any owners who dare to bully us, then we can sue them and let the court punish them. ”

"In addition, our Lord Wang said that if we are willing to sue the owner, this labor department can provide free legal aid to help us go to court. In the past, we were all oppressed and did not dare to sue these owners, but now we are not afraid. We have Lord Wang to call the shots for us, and we are not afraid of these owners. We can work well in the future, and Lord Wang will help us from above! ”

But. Even if it is so promoted, there are still people who don't believe it.

"Is there really such a good thing, does the imperial court want to set up a place for us to be the master?"

The propagandist immediately replied: "Yes, this is Lord Wang's care for our laborers, and he can understand the hardships of our laborers." Coupled with the unscrupulous exploitation of us by those owners, we are not able to obtain a stable income and a reasonable rest time. Lord Wang said. We can only work nine hours a day, that is, four and a half hours, and every week, that is, seven days a week, we have to give the workers a day off, and if we exceed this time, we will be paid overtime, and we will be paid 1.5 times the overtime pay! In addition, if you work overtime on a day off, you will be paid twice as much overtime. If you work overtime on holidays, you will have to pay twice as much overtime, which is the kindness of Lord Wang to us! ”

"Lord Wang has experienced our suffering. That's why this yamen was set up to call the shots for us. This is a good thing that has never happened in previous dynasties, and Lord Wang really didn't say anything to us. In the future, we must repay Lord Wang well, otherwise how can we get such valuable treatment? ”

When many people heard this, they couldn't help but kneel in the direction of the governor's palace.

"I've lived half my life, and I've finally met such a good official. It's great that they can call the shots for us workers. Someone said movingly.

And many people are crying, because they, the workers, were arguably the most marginalized members of society in the old feudal era. Although these workers used to rank third among the farmers and merchants, they were ostensibly one place ahead of the merchants. But in reality they are the lowest. Because scholars are all people who are officials or preparing to be officials, their status is noble. And the interests of farmers are the most important. There are still many people who pay attention to the interests of the peasants, and the emperor also has to carry out the so-called pro-farming ceremony to show that he attaches importance to the interests of the peasants. And the last businessmen may not have any rights, but they have money! They have money, and through the collusion of officials and businessmen, or if they have money, they can also obtain the right to enjoy life, and they have great social influence.

But the most miserable are the workers, many of whom do not have their own land. Farming is not available. They can only make a living by working for others, so they will inevitably face the problem that if they are fired, they will have no income and may have to beg on the streets. At that time, I am afraid that they will all face a very miserable result. This is the fate of their workers, but they are not taken seriously. Because their population in ancient times was too small. In the ancient agrarian society, the proportion of their workers in the population was too small, and there was no wealth to influence the society, so they completely belonged to the marginalized people in society. Once the interests of such socially marginalized people are violated, they will inevitably face a situation where they have no recourse.

But now Wang Guorui is in charge of them, and even set up a special department to make decisions for them, which makes them feel that Wang Guorui's kindness is as deep as the sea. They are no longer marginalized in society, and they all feel valued from above. In this way, their identity has suddenly improved a lot, and they feel that their identity has begun to improve a lot, and they are no longer the person who was discriminated against in the past, so now they feel that they are different, and their identity is different from the past.

"By the way, they won't collude with officials and businessmen, and officials will protect each other, right?" Someone asked right away.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be silent, because if the people and officials in the labor department of any country colluded with each other, or if the officials protected each other, I am afraid that it would be useless for them to set up this yamen.

"No, no, this labor department will be managed and supervised by our wife of Lord Wang, just to put an end to this kind of official-official protection and collusion between officials and businessmen. Those businessmen want to collude, so can they buy all the wives of Lord Wang? Also, those officials protect each other, will Lord Wang's wife not listen to Lord Wang's orders to fly, but will take care of those corrupt officials? Therefore, Lord Wang's wife personally came to supervise this yamen, then there is absolutely no problem, please rest assured! ”

Hearing this, everyone was completely relieved, because Wang Guorui let his wife manage this yamen, which meant that they could be completely reassured. They don't have to worry about being protected by officials and businessmen above. Wang Guorui and they are still trustworthy, and Wang Guorui's wife is naturally credible. Isn't Wang Guorui's wife still working with Wang Guorui to protect the interests of workers?

In the Taiwan Governor's Palace, Wang Guorui invited several businessmen to negotiate here.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after our investigation, you have all been in arrears of workers' wages in the past, and there are many bad behaviors. I won't go into all of them here, but I hope that you will be able to pay back the workers' wages as soon as possible, and pay some interest. Also, in the future, it is not possible to extend the working hours of workers casually, do you understand? This time, I will also remember the account first, if you dare to commit it again in the future, then don't blame me for settling the new account and the old account together. Wang Guorui said.

"Yes, yes, Lord Wang, we all know that. We will never abuse workers in the future! Someone immediately reassured.

Wang Guorui is now also going to set up a labor department, that is, a department dedicated to the maintenance of labor, where do they dare to mess around. This shows that Wang Guorui attaches great importance to the interests of workers, and if they dare to abuse workers, they will definitely be punished. Even, Wang Guorui is not just an instruction, but a special yamen has been set up to be responsible for this period, and this yamen can also help workers to carry out public interest lawsuits, which is simply killing their businessmen. In the past, the laborers were too alone to sue their employers. Or they were threatened by the owner and did not dare to sue at all. But now that this yamen has the power to engage in public interest litigation, it will not be the laborers and the Dong family who will sue in the future, but the businessmen and the government. These businessmen have always adhered to the principle that wealth does not fight with officials, so they are very afraid of lawsuits with the government. But if they bully the workers now, they will face the result of a lawsuit with the officials, which is not what they want. After all, those ordinary laborers are easy to bully, but the officials of the government yamen are not easy to bully! This is also the advantage of public prosecution, which allows the other party to directly bear the pressure of the entire government, and is much better than private prosecution, because it can avoid all kinds of threatening factors. Otherwise, if the party receives a threat from a powerful party, it may not have the courage to sue. But now that there is a public prosecution, it means that they can't threaten the prosecution party, after all, the prosecution party is also a government agency, where can they have the ability to threaten them!

"Okay, sign this pact of good treatment of workers. If this convention is violated in the future, it will be punished in accordance with the provisions of the convention. So, you have to think carefully about whether you want to violate this clause in the future. Wang Guorui said.

Those businessmen who have a "black history" dare not sign it, because who knows if they don't sign this convention, will Wang Guorui give them small shoes next! With the resources that Wang Guorui can mobilize, it is completely possible to make them go out of business, and they will not be able to rise again at all. Therefore, they were afraid of Wang Guorui's idea, so they could only sign this convention, so that they would not be really cleaned up by Wang Guorui in the future. (To be continued......)
