"Old Mo, come here!" Jingwen said.

And the Westerners led by Maupassant immediately followed Jingwen to the palace next to him, and then Jingwen took the initiative to let the eunuch take out a piece of paperwork, and then took the initiative to give it to them to see.

"You see, this is a labor and employment contract written in Chinese, which states all kinds of salaries, benefits, and your various responsibilities, status, and various work disciplines. If you violate these work disciplines, we will also be punished by deducting wages in accordance with the contract. Of course, if you violate the laws of my Datang, you will also be punished by the judicial department of my Datang. Also, there are some things in the palace that need to be kept secret, and if you know about it by chance, then you can't tell others, you must keep it secret. So, these are all to be written into this contract. And I only know the contract in Chinese, if you need to wait, you can try to translate this agreement into your own language. Once signed, it means that the five-year employment contract comes into effect and you will be able to receive the corresponding benefits. And most of you can get the treatment of our Datang Ninth Rank Official, and Lao Mo, your Chinese has reached the eighth level, I can give you the treatment of the Tang Fifth Rank Official. Jingwen said.

And these Maupassants and these foreigners are all fresh, and they did not expect to sign the so-called labor contract. In this era, there is no such thing as a labor contract in this world, even if a businessman hires some employees, it is a verbal agreement, and if both parties are dissatisfied, they can fire each other at any time. Of course, slaves are not in this regard. Ordinary free people can sign labor contracts at any time, but this is actually very insecure for both parties.

The boss can get rid of the employee at any time, and he can also deduct their wages at any time, and find a reason to deduct their wages at any time. This is completely based on whether the boss is merciful, and there is no fixed reason for deducting wages. Maybe today you said the wrong thing, or tomorrow is what. will be deducted. And this situation is all about the boss's mouth, so the salary is very insecure.

But for the boss's side, there is also some helplessness. For example, some technical talents, just like Jingwen bought some slaves to teach in order to open a restaurant? Isn't Jingwen afraid that they will be dug into the corner! In ancient times, there was no such thing as an employment contract, so those employees could be poached at any time with higher salaries, so this was not very safe for the employer.

And now Jingwen also thought of signing a contract by means of a labor contract, and wrote all the wages and benefits into the contract, and also wrote all kinds of work disciplines into it, if it was violated, the money would be deducted, and the heavy would be fired. Of course. The strictest is to be punished by the criminal laws of the Tang Dynasty. And all kinds of terms are signed in these contracts, and these Westerners are very surprised. After all, in this era, there is no so-called labor contract in the West, so they have once again raised the level of civilization in the East.

"Within five years, you will all serve my Datang Sect Provincial Tongwen Museum, and the wages we give you have been written here. You are all fluent in Chinese, so you should have no problem understanding this. And if you wish, you can translate a contract into your country's language again, and then sign a contract again in your country's language, so that you can also keep a copy of it. When the time comes, if you break it. Then we will punish according to the method of contract. But if we violate, you can sue us with the judicial department of my Datang. Jingwen said.

And Maupassant first said: "Okay, I'm sure you won't violate it!" ”

Maupassant also had a preliminary understanding of China, in fact, Maupassant even knew about China as a characteristic country. There are actually better preferential treatment for foreigners. From ancient times to the present, foreigners who come to China often have a lot of preferential treatment, even if they break the law, they will not be lightly executed. At most, they will be driven out of the country, and they will not be allowed to come again. So this preferential treatment for foreigners is simply very good, and Maupassant believes that Datang will violate these so-called terms. There is no need for Datang to violate the terms for something they don't like. This is a huge loss for Datang's so-called face. However, although Maupassant believed that Datang would not violate it, he saw that Datang was able to come up with the so-called labor contract, and he was also amazed by Datang's civilized Cheng Dù.

In ancient times, the laws of both the East and the West were biased in favor of the powerful, and the laws were both biased in favor of employers, and rarely in favor of the disadvantaged. However, Datang has this labor contract, which means that the employees and employees are also protected. Of course, this binding letter of both sides. However, in general, it is more advantageous for employees, because the employer is often stronger, so there is a contract constraint, which is actually undesirable for ordinary employees. In this way, employees cannot be dismissed casually, and this kind of rule to protect the vulnerable groups is actually the most basic condition for a country's social civilization.

If the law of the jungle is blindly eaten, it is a beast's behavior, not a civilized behavior. The main reason why human beings can have civilization is actually because human beings can know how to protect the weak, not the weak. Because of this, human beings are able to survive and reproduce. If the weak are not protected, humanity will eventually fall into a real never-ending cannibalism. Because today you can swallow the weakest, and tomorrow the second weakest will become the weakest, and everyone will swallow it. In the end, humanity will perish. It is precisely because of the protection of the vulnerable that human beings can truly reproduce. The law of the jungle that many people admire, in fact, Jingwen believes that it is not something that human beings should absolutely keep. Although the law of the jungle can stimulate the upward mentality of human beings, if one day the whole society will become the law of the jungle, it will be the beginning of human demise. Therefore, the greatest civilization of mankind is to protect the disadvantaged, so that the disadvantaged can continue to reproduce, to safeguard the collective interests of mankind, so that mankind can unite against a greater enemy. Otherwise, the human race would not have been able to have that splendid civilization. (To be continued......)
