Chapter 182 - Minimum Remuneration System

This world is different from the world before it.

Felik had known this for a long time.

He is someone who comes from outside the framework and has the power to break the existing situation.

Whether it is socialism, or capitalism, even some simple common sense that was once not ranked at all, is enough to trigger a change in this world.

But all along, he has been hindered, when he was the demon king, the ignorant demons hindered themselves, and then finally had a relationship with Alyssa, thinking that he could make great achievements in the empire, but it ended up without a problem before it began, and now the empire has become that half-dead, and recently, in Kas Bay, he finally took the first step of reform, and it was this step that made him understand how great the power of change is.

Although this world is backward, there are some basic rules, tariffs needless to say, each industry also has its own unspoken rules, but there is no minimum pay, the relationship between employers and employees in this era is to discuss in advance, one pays and one takes over, you complete the task, I will give you the corresponding remuneration, simple and rude, but ignore the minimum survival of some unpopular occupations.

For example, there are appraisers in addition to Belina, but there are very few people in this profession.

Why?

Because it's not necessary.

If a merchant wants to know the value of a precious item, he must ask an appraiser, but if he wants to survive, he does not need to sell only that precious item, but also another item, and the precious item is temporarily collected.

And what about appraisers? A good appraiser must have a lot of knowledge, in order to learn he has to abandon other survival skills, he has no other ability to work except for appraisal, and there is no other source of income except appraisal, so when the merchant can treasure rare items for a long time, the appraiser can not get a job at all, and in desperation, he has to sell his knowledge at a low price, and the merchant can therefore confirm the value of a commodity at a very low price.

Coupled with the vicious competition among peers, the profession of appraiser is even more difficult to mix, and over time almost no one is engaged in it, let alone a professional appraiser.

In addition to appraisers, this kind of unfair competition is also common in other industries, capitalists can engage in tug-of-war, but the poor have no time to accompany them, they can only sell themselves cheaply in order to survive, the more money the more calm, the poorer the more anxious, the rich are not afraid of not being able to hire people, but the poor are afraid of no one to hire, in contrast, the cruelty of society is fully visible.

So, in this case, Felick appeared, bringing with him a seemingly unequal rule - the minimum pay standard.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm just making a rule called 'minimum pay.'"

"Minimum pay?"

"Yes, that's the name. To put it simply, it is to set a minimum remuneration standard, so that the employed person can make a decent living while paying the same amount of labor. ”

"This ...... What do you mean? Isn't there a consultation between the employer and the employee? Why should you make it? ”

"I don't say this rule to protect the rare workers who are competing for employers, but to protect the ordinary laborers who are all over the streets, such as porters, mediocre craftsmen, and fruit and vegetable gatherers. These people are large and easy to replace, so the competition among their peers is fierce, and in order to get a job, they often take the form of lowering their salaries, often in exchange for a small amount of money to make ends meet, which is really regrettable. Therefore, I made this rule! ”

When Felik was heard of this explanation, almost all the senators showed disdain on their faces, scoffing at Felik's approach and expressing great skepticism about his previous rhetoric.

"Could it be that you relied on this rule to make Caswan's income exceed the total income of the Seven Gods?" The old man with gold-rimmed glasses asked slowly, judging from his seat, this should be the second elder.

"Exactly!"

"Humph! It's ridiculous. Isn't it normal for people without talent to find a job? What good is it for you to take pity on the weak and exploit the money of the rich to those who are only capable of simple jobs? This kind of act is just naΓ―ve in my eyes. Clara commented, and the comments were quite fierce and sharp.

"I agree with the Eighth Patriarch, this kind of behavior is meaningless at all, and I can't imagine that with this regulation, you can run the Land of Projectiles beyond the territory of the Seven Gods." The second elder also made a negative assessment.

And the other patriarchs who did not speak were not optimistic about this rule at all, only Augustus had a dark face, touched his chin and pondered, not knowing what he was thinking.

The hearing bench even scoffed at his statement, and some people even called him a liar, saying that what he just said was just his words.

In the face of doubts, Felik was calm and not surprised at all, he had seen this kind of thing a lot, and when he wanted to implement this minimum pay rule, even his partner Mouse Becky was full of denials, almost everyone said that it was simply giving money to the poor, not only harming the interests of the rich, but also not benefiting himself.

But under Felik's tough attitude, this policy was finally introduced, and it turned out that he was right, and only a small change made him above many lords, to be precise, those who had no vision, from that moment on, had been far away from Felik and left behind.

And now, he also wants to let this group of stubborn blood clan elders understand how important it is to protect the right of the weak to live!

"Although I respect your experience and experience, I have to say that sometimes practice can get the right knowledge, and blindly relying on one's own imagination cannot understand the chain effect caused by a small change."

This was a bit harsh, and the First Elder couldn't help but look displeased: "Do you mean that our vision is too narrow? ”

"I didn't say that, but I'm going to prove that what I just said is all right!"

"If it's true, prove it to me. But if not. The First Elder's eyes were cold and serious: "Then your ridicule of us will make you pay a terrible price." ”

"No problem, then I'll start talking, first of all, I want to ask everyone here a question: Is there really no talent among the poor laborers?"

This question is very simple, almost no need to think, everyone knows that there are exceptions to everything, so the second elder gave the answer without thinking: "Of course there is, whether the talent is high or low, there are people who are not good at learning among the rich, and there are naturally people with bright heads and talents who are good at learning among the poor." The best example of this phenomenon is the mage. ”

"The answer is very correct, so I will ask another question now: talent, do you need to grow?"

This question made everyone frown again, this is another idiot question.
