Jingwen came to the county government office in Mengjin County, and then found Liu Qing and Cui Ying, wanting to ask them why the wage standard for female workers was so low. The salary of each female worker is only five copper plates per day, and only after completing a piecework process can one copper plate be obtained. In this way, it will only be about the same amount of money in a month. The money has always been equivalent to 400 yuan at most in later generations, and this salary is really black enough. In later generations, even the wages in remote areas will be at least more than 1,000, and some people would rather receive the subsistence allowance if their wages are less than 1,000. Therefore, this consistent salary for a month is really dark.

"Husband, do you think this condition is very dark? How do I not think? Our conditions can be said to be very generous, we not only take care of the food, so they can always say that the money can be said to be net earnings. It also allows their children to be supervised and taught to read and write, so that's already very generous. You don't see it, but people here are all wanting to sign up. Liu Qing asked.

"What is reading and being literate? In later generations, there was almost no illiteracy, and below the level of secondary school can be called illiteracy in the new era. Jing Wen complained in his heart.

Jingwen doesn't think that being able to give those female workers and children to read and write is any reward, at most it is just a little welfare. These things don't cost too much, and since the invention of cheap paper and printing, the cost of books has plummeted, so there are not too few books on the market now. Therefore, Jingwen, who was born in the era of compulsory education, does not think that reading is a rare thing, but it is an easy qualification to obtain in the era in which Jingwen lives.

"Husband, you can't think like that. You know, it's not easy to read. Now that we can give their children to study, it is equivalent to giving them the opportunity to change their fate. We only need to teach them for a year or two, and after they have learned the written word, they can also carry out the initial enlightenment. And you have to know. Now more than ninety percent of the people in Datang are illiterate, so even those who can read are rare. Don't look at this so-called benefit that is just teaching reading, but even if it is this welfare, even if we don't pay wages, many people are willing to come. It is not so much the salary that is the most important, but the opportunity to read and write for the children that is the most important. These people also know that being able to read can change their fate. Otherwise, you have to rely on hard work on the battlefield to gain fame. Moreover, even if you are desperate on the battlefield, you need to be literate when you reach the top. If there is no culture, even the army will not be able to go far. That's why this opportunity to read is the most valuable. If we are considered a qiē benefit, I am afraid that we will have preferential treatment compared to many male workers. Liu Qing said.

Jingwen then remembered that the biggest treatment of this garment manufacturing factory is actually this private school. In ancient times, there were actually many private schools, which were generally run by the rich or literate themselves. It's just that Jingwen has now opened a so-called "school for the children of workers" in this garment factory. Originally, Jingwen only followed the model of later generations to give the children of those employees the opportunity to study and study, but this attracted many people. In other places, the price of private school is very expensive, and those so-called teachers see that you are diligent and studious, and then exempt you from tuition, this may be there. But it's definitely a legendary thing. Most places have to pay tuition, but the vast majority of people can't afford it.

The garment factory opened by Jingwen has promised to give the descendants of its employees a place to study, which can be said to attract many people. Even if there is no salary. I'm afraid that many people will want to squeeze their heads to work here, after all, there are not many opportunities for children to study.

"In this case, we should not treat the workers too badly in terms of wages. We might as well raise the wages a little bit, that is, from the original five copper plates. The base salary was raised to ten copper plates. And then every time you do a process, you can also get a performance salary of one point and five copper plates, what do you think? Jingwen said.

Although Jingwen is a capitalist. However, it is also a capitalist from later generations, and of course it is impossible to exploit employees so desperately. Although there were no so-called labor security regulations in ancient times, Jingwen had to set an example and let everyone see his preferential treatment of employees. In this way, more and more talents will help themselves! If you've been too exploitative of your employees, no one will want to do things for you, even if you're a senior talent. From small to large, if ordinary grassroots employees can be treated preferentially, can they still be treated badly for real talents? This is also the thinking of China since ancient times, and many people understand the truth of the golden bones.

"Also, we can't keep them working. You can't work more than eight hours a day, or four hours. What do you think about giving them two days off every five days? Jingwen asked.

"Aren't we wasting a lot of time out of thin air? In other places, you have to do things from morning to night, even if it is an official of the imperial court, you have to start preparing every morning on the fifth watch, and you can only get off work at four o'clock in the afternoon. So as you said, husband, it will take you eleven hours. If the officials are like this, how much more are these people? And the court officials only have one day of holiday for ten days, and everything else is only available during the festival. As for your husband, you ......," Liu Qing said.

And Jingwen also blushed for a while, because it was common for Jingwen to be late and leave early in the court. Except for the 15-day pilgrimage to give Li Shimin a little face and not be late, and other times are often late. Therefore, Jingwen, the late king, is not good at saying anything else.

However, Jingwen also realized that it was not appropriate to implement a two-day holiday and an eight-hour work system in ancient times, after all, the productivity in ancient times was not enough, and if you didn't do more, you couldn't feed all kinds of people. Officials have to work eleven hours, why do ordinary people work eight hours, and have two days off?

"Well, adjust the working hours of female workers to nine hours, after all, they are women, and they cannot be as full as men. Moreover, we can also give them a ten-day vacation, which can be regarded as our preferential treatment. I don't think anyone will have a problem with us, after all, we are taking care of female workers, can we still ask women to work as long as men? Jingwen said.

"Well, you can think about this!" Liu Qing said.

"It's not about thinking, it's about doing it!" Jingwen said. (To be continued......)
