Royal Gold Magistrate

"You think you are very humorous?" Li Yuanzhao's eyes were a little dull.

"Old Fang, I'm not joking with you. The labor intensity is absolutely unbearable. It's not that I didn't do those rough jobs when I was in the health team. If this continues, I'll tell you sooner or later. Come up with a problem."

Fang Zhengyi was noncommittal: "Whether His Highness has a solution, it is far from enough to ask questions."

Li Yuanzhao thought about it: "I really have some eyebrows, and I'm still thinking about how to solve it on the way here."

"I went to more than a dozen factories these days and got the production records of their factories. I found that the efficiency of production did not drop too much, only about [-]% in the past few days when they entered the factory. , and even some factories have even reduced by [-]%. Compared with their usual month-end data, the data of these days has hardly decreased."

"What does this mean? This means that management methods have a great impact on efficiency! Just forcing people to work may not maximize the benefits. Those workers who rest and feel better will be more efficient... Then I think we can do it Collect more data, or change the production process, and find a way to find a balance in it. This will neither affect production capacity nor affect workers' rest."

Have you started management and data analysis?

Fangzheng blinked and said in astonishment, "Is this what you thought?"

"Otherwise? Bengong has been alone recently. I didn't think of this way at first." Li Yuanzhao said.

"Appreciate further details."

Li Yuanzhao recalled: "I thought that since Dongjiao University controls the lifeblood of many factories, it is better to directly issue regulations and let them give workers favorable treatment."

"However, after a long period of time, many new factories have been established. They seem to be quite large in scale, but they are actually fund-raising and borrowing. In the short term, there is no pressure on profitability. If regulations are enforced, it will definitely affect the efficiency of the factories. On the contrary, it may cause those that we cannot supervise. The black factory took advantage of the trend."

"On the other hand, I'm worried that the workers will be confident if they know the imperial court's full support. The lion speaks loudly. The factory manager and the workers are a perfect match. If they see each other as thieves when they oppose each other, they will end up dying and losing. .”

"So after thinking about it, we still have to start from the method and management process."

Fangzheng applauded and praised: "Your Highness, I will treat you with admiration for three days...you are already a remarkable person."

"Oh? Why are you flattering me all of a sudden?" Li Yuanzhao laughed.

"This is not something that everyone can think of, especially when His Highness holds power in his hands and can control life and death with a single word, not using power but making good use of laws. This is great wisdom, and I admire it from the bottom of my heart." Fang Zhengyi Stern way.

After speaking, he took out a stack of documents from the drawer at hand and put them on the table.

"Look, Your Highness, the people below me have not been idle recently."

Li Yuanzhao picked up the documents and checked them carefully, flipping through them one by one, his expression gradually surprised: "This...doesn't this coincide with my thoughts, Lao Fang, you have thought of it a long time ago!?"

This stack of materials impressively records the production records of all the factories, as well as the data comparison after Juzi entered the factory.

Fangzheng nodded: "That's right. In fact, Eastern Suburb University has known about the situation of black factories, and many factories have even started to hire child labor in order to reduce costs. This time, I happened to find a reason to send people to work in the factory. A massive investigation."

"Then why didn't you take care of it earlier, many of those black factories that are desperately squeezing are industries that survive with the railway."

Fangzheng sighed lightly: "Your Highness, we represent the imperial court and stand in the center of the balance."

"Whether it is a factory manager who invests in setting up a factory or a commoner worker, there is no difference in my eyes. Although the workers are tired, they can keep their income in droughts and floods, and the factory has huge profits, but it also bears greater risks and pressure from competition. No one is interfering at the moment. Two There is already a balance between those who want to, and since there is no mass discontent, it is best to do nothing."

"Speaking of which, those workers weren't so tired earlier. Although it looked a little bit bitter, at least it was easier than farming. And they have money to get. You can see that there are many places on the street outside where clothes are drying, which means that they have new ones. The clothes are worn, and there is a change of clothes."

"And, in fact, humans are the most adaptable animals. Don't look at the tiredness of work, but no animal can compare to it! Humans can live on anything they eat. If you want to change to an animal, if it eats the wrong food, it will die in minutes. Look."

Li Yuanzhao's old face collapsed: "Do you want to listen to what you are saying? Is it human? If so, why have you changed your mind now?"

"Firstly, there are already bad signs of collective riots, and this trend must not be expanded. Second, if we don't intervene, the competition will become fiercer, and those black factories will go too far, waiting for the honest people When I think about it, I know how to fight for my own interests, so I have to wait." Fangzheng said helplessly as he began to hold his hand.

Li Yuanzhao was still flipping through the stack of documents, without raising his head, he said, "So, now that your investigation is so complete, do you already have a complete solution?"

Fangzheng shook his head: "Your Highness, you are very talented, and you should be able to understand that it is not easy to find a unified and feasible solution to change the methods and processes of many factories. Various factors such as people's hearts, technology, and environment must be changed. In-depth understanding of practical operations, these alone are not enough."

Li Yuanzhao couldn't help feeling a little discouraged: "That means you are helpless?"

"No! I already have some quick and feasible plans." Fang Zheng raised his hand and said.

"What?" Li Yuanzhao immediately came to his senses.

Fangzheng smiled and asked, "Does Your Highness know who sets the workers' wages?"

"Of course it was decided by those factory directors and owners."

"Wrong, the workers' wages are set by the workers. If a factory manager contributes two taels of silver a month to recruit ten positions, and one person applies for the job, it will be two taels. If there are a hundred people applying for the job, I'm afraid he will be cut in half." Qualified workers can still be recruited. If only one person applies for the job every two to two months... If you are the factory manager, how should you solve it?"

"Wage increase." Li Yuanzhao said without hesitation, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "That is to say, we can completely unite the workers through propaganda and collectively raise their salaries?"

Fangzheng denied it: "The current job market is in short supply, which is absolutely unrealistic. Moreover, although those workers have the same status, they are better at infighting than unity."

"Isn't it? According to Bengong's observation, the workers in those factories are honest and honest with others."

"That's because you are well dressed and you have servants around you. Try changing your clothes, and they will change their faces immediately." Fang Zhengyi said indifferently, "Looking honest, in fact, they have nothing to do with the evil masters who say they are oppressing them the difference."

A beating worker who is squeezed by the boss every day, when he goes home to read novels at night, he will also use tricks such as rewards, temptations and reminders to enslave a weak author who is weaker, pitiful and helpless than them~

The evil soul of capitalists hides in everyone, each has its own calculations, how can it be possible to unite until a certain moment of necessity?
