Zhu Jingyuan arranged tasks for the two maidservants, ate the dinner prepared separately, took a bath, and went to sleep directly.

The next morning, I had breakfast as usual and went to the city for morning exercises, and when I came back, my parents were already waiting in the living room.

Mrs. Liang took her personal maidservants, plus Zhu Jingyuan's two personal maidservants, to go out in a carriage to do business for Zhu Jingyuan.

Liang Yunying's original identity security needs, coupled with the huge amount of money he was carrying 10,000 gold bills, and he had to go to the new city to run errands, and the environment of the new city was not as stable as the old city.

Zhu Jianyan chose the stronger, more capable and more clever ones from the family, and arranged more than 30 follow-up guards.

In ancient times, the female dependents of large families went out, and under normal circumstances, they were all hugged by the front and back, and at most the number of servants was different.

With only a personal maid, it is usually not a young lady from a large family, but a "young lady" on the occasion of Fengyue.

Zhu Jingyuan immediately went to take a bath, changed into court clothes and came out to say goodbye to his mother, and went to the morning court with his father and father.

This time, the early dynasty, as usual, was held in the Wenhua Palace, and the number of participants was also reduced by more than half, and only the chief officials of each yamen came.

Zhu Jingyuan pondered that the planning of the specific policies of this reform is definitely not something that can be decided in a day or two, so there will probably be nothing going on in the early dynasty in the past few days.

Go through the motions, report the progress, and everyone should go to work.

I will also go directly to the Ministry of Engineering and start thinking about the design of the battleship.

As a result, at the beginning of the dynasty this morning, Zhu Jianfeng, the ninth son of the emperor, that is, Zhu Jingyuan's ninth uncle, took the initiative to stand up and report:

"Enlighten my father, the minimum labor remuneration has been basically determined, and I ask my father to decide."

Zhu Jianfeng, who is thirty-six years old at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, was transferred back to Beijing from the local government eight years ago, first as a chamberlain in the bureaucracy, and then promoted to the rank of Shangshu in the bureaucracy six years ago, and is still in this position.

Starting from Emperor Renwu, when the heir was basically determined, most of them would put the heir in the position of the official secretary before abdication.

This time is usually two years, mainly for the heirs to learn in the ministry and become familiar with the overall personnel management of the imperial court.

Then, after officially succeeding to the throne, he can directly appoint his right-hand man to take over the position of the most important official in the court.

At the same time, the emperor's brothers withdrew from the positions given up by the court, which was also just the right time to reward the new emperor with courtiers and quickly consolidate the authority of the new emperor.

When Zhu Jianfeng was promoted to the secretary of the ministry five years ago, Zhu Jianfeng himself and most of the ministers were basically sure that Zhu Jianfeng was the heir chosen by the old emperor.

After all, it's all arranged according to tradition.

Under normal circumstances, this official should be less than three years, and most of them will be one to two years, and it should be enthroned.

But now that the empire is in a state of war, the old emperor Zhu Zhongliang did not dare to abdicate rashly, so he let Zhu Jianfeng stay in this position for six years.

In the past six years, the semi-public crown prince has gradually felt anxious, and more peculiar pressures have formed inside and outside the court.

What happened in the past two days was mainly Zhu Jingyuan's sense of existence in front of the old emperor, which made Zhu Jianfeng, who was already anxious, have a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

Zhu Jianfeng was eager to show his work ability to his father.

So yesterday, he grasped the big and let go of the small, let go of the unimportant things first, picked out one thing to follow, and personally took the initiative to promote the handling.

As quickly as possible, I took out a minimum remuneration survey report and brought it out this morning.

After Zhu Jianfeng spoke, a suppressed buzz suddenly sounded in the court.

All those who were not directly involved in matters related to labor compensation did not expect this matter to progress so quickly.

The old emperor was also obviously a little surprised, and directly asked about the situation:

"Oh, then Lao Jiu, tell me roughly, how did the officials formulate this minimum labor remuneration plan?"

Zhu Jianfeng took a deep breath, spoke steadily, and spoke clearly:

"The imperial court established a comprehensive minimum remuneration standard, according to the data submitted by the relevant yamen of engineering and commerce.

"At present, it is tentatively set to be a consistent copper banknote every month, that is, a silver banknote.

"Next, the standard will be issued, so that each political envoy can fluctuate a certain range above and below the standard according to the local situation, and determine the minimum amount of local remuneration.

"The upper limit of the floating range of each political envoy should be given by the imperial court in advance, and it should not exceed 20% for the time being.

"The specific floating range of each place should also be reported to the imperial court for approval and determination."

The old emperor Zhu Zhongliang nodded slightly when he heard this, and he didn't seem to think there was any big problem.

Zhu Jianfeng saw his father's reaction, and felt a little relieved in his heart, feeling that he had done the right thing today.

Although it is a trivial matter, it can make his father pay attention to himself, he is the one who can really do things, and he is the heir who deserves.

Then he sighed in his heart, is he a little too sensitive, his throne was originally stable.

Zhu Jingyuan just caught up with the peace negotiation because of the right age, and said a few words correctly, which won the favor of his grandfather.

But he had no chance to influence himself, after all, he was just a grandson, and his father could not succeed to the throne.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jianfeng subconsciously glanced at Zhu Jingyuan, but found that Zhu Jingyuan looked at him with a very ugly expression.

Zhu Jianfeng was suddenly very surprised.

Why are you so angry now? Do you feel bad if I show something?

Sure enough, it's still a child, which is too unbearable.

Zhu Jingyuan is indeed a little angry, because this uncle, who used to behave almost perfectly, now does what he is doing makes people feel very ...... Vexatious......

Consistent money, that is, one dollar of silver, according to the average purchasing power of the current society, is almost a hundred yuan in later generations.

The purchasing power of the lowest life in this world is higher than the 100 yuan in later generations.

The actual purchasing power of the same amount of money is different in the hands of different classes.

As the class increases, the real purchasing power of money slowly decreases.

Of course, in fact, it is not that it is lowered, but that the lower the class, the more services that are excluded from the necessary guarantees of life, and then the purchasing power will increase.

Modern people simply can't imagine how low the living conditions of the people at the bottom in the era of the industrial revolution can be.

This dollar is the lowest level of work that is currently the lowest level of workers, most likely juvenile child laborers, apprentices and temporary workers, and will actually receive the lowest remuneration.

All the money has always been used to buy the cheapest food, and it can only make a thin person barely starve to death, which can almost be regarded as a death line.

Adult workers in society also have at least three yuan of money for normal work, that is, three yuan of silver, and a little skill can be higher.

The three-yuan silver bill can make a bachelor live a relatively normal life, and he can share a collective dormitory with several people, but don't think about getting married and having children.

If you want to have a normal family and be able to give birth to and support living children, of course, you don't include schooling, and you must have at least a monthly income of more than six yuan in silver bills.

If you want to rent a house for your own family and raise two children, you need an income of more than 12 yuan.

Zhu Jingyuan's own commercial bank will pay its workers 15 yuan per month, and those who perform well will continue to increase their salaries.

Fifteen yuan in silver can make a family basically eat and wear, can afford to rent a house to live in, can raise two children, save a few years and buy a bicycle.

This gives them hope in their lives, and then they can stabilize, and then society can stabilize, and then the country can develop.

If he could, Zhu Jingyuan hoped to use the minimum salary of his firm as the minimum salary standard of Daming, but this was obviously unrealistic.

But in any case, it can't be the consistent money that Zhu Jianfeng said.

This actual lower limit of remuneration, the imperial court investigated it, formulated it, and published it, which has no practical significance.

This uncle, he really didn't think about the real purpose and significance of asking the imperial court to set a "minimum labor remuneration standard"?
