Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 994 996 Because of Human Nature

Linshui, the most prosperous port in the Tang Empire.

This is a beautiful and huge port city. Around the huge color TV tower, a tall building with more than [-] floors has been erected.These buildings are all magnificent and novel in style, forming a beautiful landscape.

Frankly speaking, the development of Linshui really has many similarities with Shanghai. Its geographical location is very good, its economy is prosperous and its trade is developed, and it has also received the full support of the top management of the Datang Empire.

It is no exaggeration to say that there are outstanding people here, every detail here represents progress, and every change here symbolizes the future.

The newly appointed Linshui Consul - now the Mayor of Linshui, Harry, has a strong ability to think clearly, so Linshui's development speed is really rapid.

The Tang Empire carried out official reforms three months ago, and changed some positions to look familiar to Tang Mo. In the past, the consul who was in charge of a city at the same level as the city lord was now called the mayor.

Unlike other mayors, Linshui is on the same level as the province in terms of administrative level, so Harry, the mayor of Linshui, is actually of a very high level.

Linshui is densely populated with factories and the urbanization process is extremely fast, and the construction speed of the subway is only three days slower than that of the imperial capital Chang'an.

Yes, that's right, the Tang Empire has already started to build subway projects in its major cities. It not only undertakes part of the civil air defense project tasks, but also can greatly improve the efficiency of urban operation in the future.

It stands to reason that such a huge project is not easy to carry out, but after so many years of training, the construction team of the Tang Empire is huge and skilled, and digging a tunnel is really a piece of cake.

Even though the Tang Empire was still unable to manufacture large-scale shield machines, with the existence of orcs and goblin workers, the efficiency of direct excavation was barely sufficient.

It’s quite funny to say that when other countries in the world began to dig air-raid shelters in their important cities, the Tang Empire was also digging, but it was just digging subways...

Because it is an economic pilot city, Linshui has many economic policy advantages.Harry has the right to directly amend the law, which is also the significance of the existence of the Linshui pilot.

Of course, as the favorite student of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire, Harry's ability and experience are unmatched in the world: he has work experience in Burnas and Dragon Island, and at the same time he learned a lot of new things from Tang Mo. Therefore, it is not difficult for him to manage Linshui City.

In order to cultivate more qualified talents for the empire, Harry often reminds his subordinates after work, so that they can thoroughly understand how important the work in his hands is.

When he saw the application report submitted by his secretary for the Linshui Merchant Group Alliance, Harry had a disdainful smile on his face: "Workers' rights and interests must be protected, this is the foundation of maintaining the empire! We must Restricting the expansion and development of capital, although monopoly will bring huge benefits, is a path of self-destruction, and we cannot take it.”

"If you want workers to work more, then give them more money! Nothing is more effective than raising wages for workers. Although it is not advocated to solve everything with wage increases, reasonable wages are the prerequisite for everything." The business group alliance report dismissed the application, and sneered and threw the report aside.

Then, he looked at his secretary and said, "Corporate culture is established on the premise of meeting the basic needs of employees. What is a basic need is that their wages and salaries can make them live better."

If he can be his secretary, he is also a person with a clear mind, but this secretary is still very young and does not have as much work experience as Harry.

In fact, Harry is also very young, and his child has not yet entered elementary school this year-yes, his wife who once gave Sophia Adam the headmaid gave birth to him a pair of twins, both boys.

"A businessman may not consider the social welfare needs of the workers he employs, but we, as officials, must consider everything. A factory feeds workers, but these workers in turn have to feed schools, hospitals, and shopping malls... If you don't calculate in advance Their surplus, then the operation of the whole society will come to a standstill." Harry, who had long been familiar with these things on Dragon Island, was no longer interested in this kind of request.

"Wolf culture? Shit wolf culture, that's just a slogan, in my opinion, it's a complete lie. Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, and dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit! Workers are not allowed to eat meat, they have a fart Wolf?" He motioned to his secretary to find a place to sit down, and then lit a cigarette by himself.

Not everyone is afraid that their lungs will be full of tar. Harry's family status is obviously higher than Tang Mo's, so at least he doesn't have to quit smoking.

After helping the leader to light a cigarette, the secretary sat across from Harry. He also wanted to know how his leader would deal with these increasingly arrogant business groups.

"The so-called wolf culture is to really 'eat meat' for the workers! First put the meat in front of all the wolves, and then say something about punishment and reward. You only have one bread, not even bread, Just let a group of workers kill each other for profit?" Harry let out a puff of smoke, and laughed ironically: "Stop making trouble, when a company starts thinking about cutting the workers' lunch budget, they should perish! "

"If a company's factory really promotes a wolf-like culture, it should be the first to cancel the shitty check-in system! Have you ever seen wolves line up in a long line to clock in?" He said: " It was my teacher who first called out wolfish culture, he said that Datang Group does not support idlers."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a while, and continued to emphasize: "But your majesty also said that the wolf who catches the rabbit is a good wolf. The kind of work that is idle and has nothing to do, sitting in a chair and reading the newspaper, no matter how much you emphasize the wolf culture. It’s just refining office politics.”

"So... this request?" The secretary knew that the businessmen's proposal to rationalize overtime work seemed to be rejected.

Sure enough, Harry directly gave his opinion: "Not approved! What does it mean to relax overtime hours? What is voluntary? Change the law? If a worker works more than 10 hours a day, what time do they have? Parenthood? How much time do they have to go to a restaurant? How much time do they have to go to the movies?"

He took a puff on his cigarette, and then went on to ask rhetorically: "If we don't enforce at least four days off every month, how are workers going to spend? Spend the wages they earn?"

"Is the only factory making money in the entire empire? What if the flower shop on the roadside is not patronized? Who will bear the loss if the bakery and restaurant have no business? Are the railways and roads invested by the state just for merchants to transport materials? After a series of rhetorical questions, Harry stared at his secretary, waiting for the other party's answer.

"This..." Obviously, the secretary didn't think of the answers to these questions.

Harry didn't wait for the secretary to think for too long, he pointed directly at himself, and continued: "The parties only see their own interests, but we want to see the overall interests! More factories and longer jobs Time may not necessarily bring higher benefits to the whole society! Only when all cycles promote and support each other, will the healthy development and progress be achieved in the end!"

"That's why we carefully discussed the feasibility of taking one and a half days off every week, and that's why we set such a strict limit on overtime in factories! That's why we set up a labor supervision department to supervise all factories and companies... as much as possible To put an end to the behavior of businessmen oppressing workers, increasing working hours, and squeezing employees." After he finished speaking, he put the cigarette in his mouth again.

He is only in his 30s this year. As the mayor of a super giant city, he can be said to be young and outrageous.This is also a problem with the Tang Empire, its officials are too young, unbelievably young.

The secretary didn't understand, because since the workers shouldn't be allowed to work overtime frequently and increase the working hours, why didn't they strictly enforce the relevant regulations: "But... my lord, in fact, the overtime situation is still very serious."

"Yeah, I know this, you know it, and many people know it. The common people know it, and they know it, so they complain." Unexpectedly, Harry directly admitted that he was "disadvantaged" in this matter.

The secretary became even more puzzled: "Then, why don't we strictly supervise these businessmen...and units?"

"Because of human nature." Harry replied directly, very briefly.

"Human nature?" The secretary was taken aback, the answer was somewhat unexpected.

"Don't underestimate human nature, remember! Never underestimate human nature." Harry took a puff of cigarette and reminded his subordinates again.

He stretched out two fingers and said: "We stipulate that we have at least 4 days off every month. If we strictly follow the laws and regulations, then, in less than 20 years, everyone will feel at ease that every month It is reasonable to have to rest for 4 days."

The secretary still didn't understand, isn't this a normal thing: "Of course, because it's a rule, so of course it's reasonable."

"Yes, but at that time, some people will want to take a day and a half off every week, or simply take two days off. After all, with the improvement of productivity, people's demand for quality of life will naturally increase, and people need a richer spirit. Entertainment requires more consumption opportunities and travel to farther places...Only in this way can they feel happy. Their happiness 20 years ago was owning a piece of bread, but now their happiness is owning a car. said Harry, breaking the connection.
