Chapter 52: The Workers Are Darkened (Asking for Push)
In the next half a day, Li Jiancheng was very depressed, and people's feelings were not clear or clear. Everyone longs to be understood; Everyone also longs to understand others. Psychologically, these two conditions are divided into self-needs and self-actualization.
Of course, this also has to divide people, people are emotional creatures, and Li Jiancheng is the same, he can decide to run away when everyone in the world is not as good as he wants, and even the emperor can be improper. It can be seen that he is definitely not Cao Cao's kind of 'I would rather bear others, don't let others bear me'.
He's just an ordinary man, but he's just a little luckier. So he will also be in a very bad mood, a bad feeling that he can't get into the hearts of others and can't make people understand himself. This is a very frustrating sense of reality, so Li Jiancheng, who has been irritable for a long time, decided to find something to do, and after the worst, he decided to go to the Ministry of Industry again.
It was Chen Hong who accompanied Li Jiancheng out of the palace for the second time, and there was no emperor in history who was more diligent than him Li Jiancheng when he left the palace. Once he went out of the palace, there were hundreds of people who protected him openly and secretly. Fortunately, Li Jiancheng went to various imperial departments such as the Ministry of Industry, which can only be regarded as 'checking the post' and other behaviors, if he purely went out to have fun, then those ministers would have to resist the coffin to block the door once. Otherwise, he could only secretly make a private visit, but fortunately, if he was nervous, he also knew that it was not safe.
Li Jiancheng swaggered to the Ministry of Industry again, and Wang Zuo, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was very surprised, and he was busy coming up to greet him. Li Jiancheng strode forward with his sleeves swinged, looking like the boss of a modern listed company, as soon as he saw Wang Zuo, he said directly: "It's morning, have the cement and masonry for building the house been fired?" ”
Li Jian's expression was stiff when he said this, and his brows were furrowed, it was completely like time is money, money is everything, if you dare to delay my time, I will delay your whole family. In short, he was very unhappy!
The emperor's unhappy look Wang Zuo naturally saw it, he secretly glanced at Chen Hong next to him, Chen Hong shook his head and said that he didn't understand either. Wang Zuo could only swallow his saliva and stiffen his head, Wang Zuo cautiously said: "Back to Your Majesty, the cement and masonry are ready, and you can start building a house after digging the foundation!" ”
Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Are all the workers here?" ”
Wang Zuo replied: "It's all here, it's all here, Wechen has found a total of three batches of workers, a total of 63 people!" In addition, there were more than a dozen peasant helpers sent a few days ago, and the number was enough. ”
There are seventy or eighty people, and it's too much for so many people to build a two-story small western-style building! Li Jiancheng touched his chin and then asked, "What kind of treatment are these workers, how much do you let them work a day?" ”
Wang Zuo was stunned when asked, he didn't expect the emperor to ask this question, you must know that in such a society in the 17th century, the social status of workers was very underground, and those who would go to work either had no land to make a living, or lived very poor to subsidize their families.
Here I have to mention the social background of the Ming Dynasty at this time, the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century was also an era of 'excessive' productivity! It has a total population of 100 million and a wide variety of products. However, due to the "sea ban" and "border ban", its market is constantly shrinking, and the reason is also because of the influence of the Xiaoice period.
The harsh natural climate during the Xiaoice River period caused a large number of farmers to be displaced, which also sharply reduced the number of middle and low-level consumers.
At the same time, the displacement of a large number of peasants created a large number of cheap laborers, so to speak, and some people could work without wages as long as they had food. But it's only the beginning of the apocalypse, and the situation is not serious enough to be full of hungry and dying homeless, but its labor market has indeed fallen to a very low price!
Wang Zuo replied, "Uh... Back to His Majesty, what about the wages of the workers, this old worker is 30 Wen a day, a little lower than the old worker is 10 Wen salary, the next little novice is 5 Wen, the last one is a salary of one money and two dollars! ”
Five, ten, and thirty !! Li Jiancheng thought about it, this... This is too little for a worker who has been doing manual work for a long time, you must know that a large number of labor needs to be supplemented with a lot of heat energy! What is this five pennies enough for? Have a cup of tea? After listening to this, he said directly: "No, no, the salary is too small, and the salary should be long, starting at least thirty yuan!" ”
Wang Zuo was shocked when he heard this, and he said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty! This... This... This is not appropriate, the funds of the Ministry of Industry have always been fixed, and the Ministry of Household has not allocated much money, and Weichen is ......"
When Li Jiancheng heard this reason, he didn't wait for him to finish speaking and said, "Isn't it just a matter of money?" I have reimbursed you, and in the future, all the workers I will use will pay me at least this price. You just need to make a good note, and I will ask Wang An to send you money, so you don't have to go to the household department. ”
Wang Zuo was overjoyed when he heard this, this emperor is really generous, he can allocate funds for anything! Wang Zuo immediately patted his ass and said: "Your Majesty is really virtuous, and Weichen has done some for those poor peasants and workers!" ”
Li Jiancheng felt very comfortable after listening to Wang Zuo's words, sure enough, this is a person who likes to be patted on the back, especially if he has done good deeds. But when I think about Li Jiancheng, I can't reach it again, I'm sorry! When Lao Tzu carried the clay bucket, why didn't he meet someone like me? Time is also fate!
Then Li Jiancheng and Wang Zuo went to the construction site together, and the workers were digging the foundation!
When Li Jiancheng saw these people, he suddenly shouted very enthusiastically: "Comrades, you have worked hard! ”
When those workers heard someone shouting, they all looked up, and they all saw Li Jiancheng, but for those of them who had never been close to the imperial city in their lives, how could they recognize the emperor? Some people say that this wild child is screaming here! Therefore, it is impossible for them to reply to Li Jiancheng with the sentence 'serving the people', and everyone is stunned to look at him Li Jiancheng from afar.
It's not just Li Jiancheng who is embarrassed at this moment, Wang Zuo and others are also embarrassed, this emperor is too capable. Wang Zuo stepped forward and said: "The emperor has arrived, don't you see the emperor soon!" ”
Those migrant workers only reacted when they saw Wang Zuo at this time, it turned out that the hairy boy was the emperor! All the migrant workers had seen the emperor there, and they were all so frightened that they knelt down in a cold sweat.
Li Jiancheng frowned when he saw those peasants, and suddenly his heart moved, he turned around and said loudly to Wang Zuo: "What are you yelling about!" I have ruined the opportunity to live close to the workers, and I have already told you ministers to be sympathetic to the workers and peasants, look at you! What kind of working environment do you provide? Li Jiancheng pointed to the workers, he stared at them deadly, looking at Wang Zuo, he wanted to say that they were all thin, but this Wang Zuo also looked thin, he had to say heartbrokenly: "The workers are tanned!" Do you know that these are all my people, all of them are tanned! From now on, everyone will have a long salary, and at least 30 coppers or more, do you understand!! ”
Wang Zuo was stupid next to him, this... What does this emperor mean! What do you mean by disturbing you and the workers' close life, isn't that what you shouted as soon as you came up? What is the work environment? What does it mean to get a tan? If you don't build a house outside, can you still do it at home? Aren't you just looking for a reason to raise your salary, but should you use such a frustrating reason? Are you saying why do you want to scold Weichen with you? Wechen is so wronged! Wang Zuo was almost in tears, he pouted and said: "The emperor's lesson is that Weichen must change his past mistakes and treat the workers well!" ”
Li Jiancheng listened, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Very good, Aiqing realized so quickly, I am very relieved, I believe that the workers will also forgive you, must you treat the workers well?" ”
Wang Zuo nodded with a bitter face, how did he know that this was the usual measurement of the official media in modern society, no matter how fake and painful he looked. But that's what he did. Li Jiancheng scolded a Ministry of Industry on the spot, you must know that this is a national ministerial-level cadre, and loudly want to give these peasant workers a long salary, that is, to give them a face and give straightforward benefits, not to mention ancient times, there are few things that can be done in modern times, there are many people who can thunder and not rain, so here some people burst into tears on the spot!
Who knows the hardships of the workers and peasants, especially in such a feudal society where people eat people and human life is cheaper than grass, who will stand up and speak to a worker? Readers? There is no one at all, for the readers, they only read the books of the sages and sages, and they ignore the things outside the window, and regard doing any kind of work as insulting (Li Jiancheng is very suspicious that it must be lazy to carry forward this word. There's no one who will speak for them. One of the most important things in a person's life is to be respected and appreciated. At this moment, as the emperor who was high above, he spoke for them, and reprimanded a first-class court official, which made all the workers and peasants present burst into tears.
