"Hehe, what are you afraid of, it's not a matter of time." Li Ke said with a smile, watching Li Yan first bow her head shyly, and then look around like a quail to see if there is anyone else in front of her, it is really funny.

Yang Anning and the others just sent a chair to Li Yan and left automatically, leaving room for them to be alone, so there was no one else next to them at this time.

"But...... But ......" Li Yan didn't even dare to raise her head.

"Haha, okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about work?" Li Ke said with a smile, don't tease Li Yan, Li Yan's face is tender, it's not like Yang Anning, they have all become old drivers now.

Oh no, they've always been old drivers, what do you mean by becoming old drivers, it's as if I've changed them.

"Well, there happens to be a matter, I heard Duan Lun Shangshu say that I want to discuss it with Your Highness." Li Yan hurriedly spoke.

"What's the matter?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

"It's about some things about the factories now, isn't it that many factories have set up Datang state-owned commercial banks in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Commerce, and the operation of these commercial banks currently wants to speed up the recruitment of some permanent workers, mainly because they want policy support, and they want the imperial court to give some excellent policies to attract some people to become permanent workers." Li Yan said.

Hearing this, Li Ke was slightly stunned, this is indeed a problem.

In fact, there is no shortage of hired workers in Datang, such as various restaurants and commercial houses in Chang'an City, but originally these hired workers are all composed of non-editorial households, which means that the owner directly buys some contract households that sell themselves as hired workers.

In addition, there are some temporary employees, the land complex in the bones of the Chinese is difficult to give up, the Tang court issued Yongye fields and other means to the people, so that the people will not give up their fields to become professional employees.

This is also the reason why these trading houses are desperately buying Kunlun slaves or non-editors.

In fact, it is also the reason why Datang's business is not as prosperous as the Song Dynasty, one is naturally because of the early establishment of Datang, and the other reason is naturally because Datang has a small population, and the people have land, and no one is willing to give up land.

Therefore, it is very difficult for almost all factories in the industrial zone of Chang'an City to recruit permanent employees, not to mention permanent employees, but it is difficult to recruit professional workers.

It's all part-time, and the people won't give up their land.

But now that Datang has developed to the present, in fact, if the industry wants to continue to expand and develop, professional workers are necessary, not to mention anything else, because of the emergence of steam engines, the restructuring of various factories is necessary, so if these factories want to develop, qualified workers must be necessary.

And these factories also have a certain technical content, and they all need to train workers for a long time, so some temporary workers are not very suitable.

Duan Lun is right, this is indeed a problem.

"Shangshu Province has been discussing this matter all along?" Li Ke asked.

"Yes, Liang Guogong has discussed it with several scholars, and they have considered the issue of the labor security law that Your Highness mentioned before, and think that the introduction of it should be able to alleviate the anxiety of some workers, but they don't feel that it is enough. But they don't have an idea of how to convince the people that they can support themselves by working for a long time. Li Yan nodded, and when talking about work, Li Yan became serious.

"It's enough to let these state-owned enterprises give welfare guarantees." Li Ke thought for a while and said. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is social security more than a thousand years later. It seems that the introduction of social security at this time seems to be a bit nonsense, but the problem is that now if you want Datang to have a group of mature professional workers, you can only do this.

Otherwise, no one wants to.

Workers and craftsmen are different, although craftsmen are now very attractive to ordinary people because they want to give titles, etc., but they also all know that craftsmen who reach that level are not something that ordinary people can achieve, and Datang also needs craftsmen of that level, and there are not so many craftsmen.

In the early stage, Datang's industry was able to support it, and it was completely washed by Yuelai Commercial Bank over the years...... The cultivated people occupy a dominant position, and the people of Yuelai Commercial Bank cannot be regarded as ordinary people.

After all, their thinking is not the same as that of ordinary people.

But now there are definitely not enough people in Yuelai Commercial Bank, and a large number of Datang workers must be trained.

In fact, there are a group of people who can use it, such as those in the mountainous areas, because these people lack a lot of arable land around them, and they don't want to leave their hometowns too far, but there is not enough arable land under their mountainous areas, so these places must not be able to allocate enough 100 acres of arable land.

If there are factories in these places, then the likelihood that they will be willing to come out and work is greatly increased.

Again, it's impossible to build these factories here for the time being, it's too difficult.

"Welfare guarantees?" Li Yan said with some doubts.

"Roughly count the average life expectancy of the population in Datang without war, and then set a reasonable retirement age, after retirement, even if they have no job and enjoy happiness at home, they will still be given welfare treatment by the state or by this factory."

"It is to give them monthly money every month, so that if they have security, there is a great possibility to attract a group of people to work."

"There are two ways to do this, for example, a worker deducts 10% of his monthly money every month and hands it over to the state, if this figure is 30 Wen, and then the commercial bank will help pay 70 Wen, and make up enough 100 Wen to set up a separate account, which will be operated and invested by Datang Central Bank, and when these people are old, this money will be distributed to them according to the average monthly money of Datang every month."

"Another way is for the workers to sign a labor contract when they enter the factory, which can be signed for 20 or even 30 years, in the name of the state, to ensure that these state-owned commercial houses will not dismiss them, and even when they are old, their children can inherit their positions and continue to work in the factories when they retire." Li Ke proposed another solution.

Speaking of this, Li Ke really didn't understand why the early state-owned enterprise employees in the country more than a thousand years later were iron rice bowls, and he didn't consider the real reason, but now that he thinks about it in combination with the situation of Datang, is there also a part of this reason at the beginning? After all, not giving up the land must have had this idea in the minds of the people of the republic that had just been founded at that time.

However, if this policy is really implemented, then the first real working class may be born in Datang.
