Siheyuan: Happy life of the son-in-law of a founding general

After Wang Zhian took over as the head of the Industrial Innovation Commission, the first thing he did was to conduct research to see the industrial development situation in various parts of Daxia.

At this time, Daxia mainly focused on developing heavy industry, while light industry developed relatively less.

This is also understandable.

Before, Daxia was an agricultural country with very little industry. Later, with the help of Xiongxiong, some heavy industries were established. But the number was still small.

As for light industry, its quantity is larger than that of heavy industry, but its production capacity, production capacity, technology, etc. are far inferior to those of heavy industry.

Wang Zhian knew very well that in order to promote Daxia's industrialization process, it was necessary to break the existing imbalance and allow light industry and heavy industry to develop on par with each other.

Therefore, after obtaining the preliminary data, Wang Zhian continued to lead several capable teams to go deep into major cities and remote areas, looking for the new pulse of Daxia's industry from the roar of steel mills to the fine rhythm of textile machines.

At this time in Daxia, most of its industry, especially heavy industry, was concentrated in the northern region.

On this day, in a heavy machinery manufacturing plant in the north, Wang Zhian stood beside a huge machine tool, looking at the spark-sparking production line. Then, he asked the factory manager, Director Li, if he needed help.

Director Li said, "Director Wang, although our factory is large in scale, our equipment is relatively old and our production efficiency is average. We hope to get more technical support."

Wang Zhian nodded gently and said, "Director Li, we want not only 'big' but also 'strong'. Technological innovation is the key. I will propose that researchers from related industries across the country come together to tackle the major scientific research challenges."

"In addition, we also need to increase skills training for workers and enhance the independent research and development capabilities of various enterprises. As for the funding issue, the Industrial Innovation Commission will provide support."

The day after Wang Zhian finished his research, a new policy was immediately introduced. All personnel in different industries across the country will set up different employee universities to be responsible for the further education of scientific researchers and employees. A collective research team will be organized. Various awards will be provided to those who have made great contributions to technological innovation.

This kind of award not only provides spiritual encouragement, but also material rewards. In a word, the more you contribute, the more you earn.

This quickly caused a huge sensation and controversy.

Because the wages of workers before Daxia were divided according to grades. If you are a skilled worker or an excellent worker, you will get high grades and high salaries. This was the case with Yi Zhonghai of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

But there is no difference in income for each level.

It’s different now. If you have strong scientific research ability and make outstanding achievements, you will be rewarded a lot. This actually makes some people feel unfair. At least, many people in Daxia at this time are not used to it.

Many of the people here are not just ordinary people, but also some managers and leading cadres.

Wang Zhian explained to Mr. Meng why such incentives were needed.

"Mr. Meng, we all say that there must be brave men under great rewards. Now Daxia's industry, especially heavy industry, needs such brave men. Of course, this is based on the premise of ensuring basic fairness."

After leaving the north, Wang Zhian and his party headed south to Yangdu.

Wang Zhian went to Yangdu for the second time. Zheng Chaoyang, a former colleague of Ziqian and Bai Ling, was poisoned. He couldn't handle it. In the end, Wang Zhian followed him and caught a big enemy spy.

Now when Wang Zhian goes there again, his identity has already changed.

He is no longer a doctor, and no longer a staff member of the Military Control Commission of the 1949 City. The Military Control Commission has been withdrawn long ago.

That day, Wang Zhian went to a small textile factory. Compared with the huge Northern Machinery Factory, the textile factory was much smaller.

Next to the textile machines, the female workers are skilled and their production efficiency seems to be quite good.

Wang Zhian started talking to a young female worker named Xiaofang.

"Comrade Xiaofang, what do you think of the work here?" Wang Zhian asked.

Xiaofang looked up, a little shy: "It's good, the job is stable, the salary is good, I'm very satisfied."

I don’t know if Xiaofang was notified in advance, but her answer was very formulaic. Afterwards, Wang Zhian talked to other workers and asked them what aspects of factory management they hoped to improve.

Finally, a young man said, "Everything in the factory is good, except that we are not allowed to work overtime, and we don't get overtime pay if we work overtime."

These words made the accompanying textile factory leaders break out in sweat, as did the accompanying local leaders.

How could such a young man suddenly appear? He is just talking nonsense.

"Okay, Comrade Xiao He, we will seriously consider your request." Wang Zhian said immediately.

Afterwards, the Industrial Innovation Committee quickly issued new regulations to encourage light industrial enterprises to appropriately increase wage benefits and implement piece-rate wages.

This is another epoch-making management regulation.

The biggest benefit of piece-rate wages is that they encourage more workers to continuously improve their skills and work enthusiasm. As for overtime, it is not mentioned. Obviously, it is not appropriate at present.

After the investigation, Wang Zhian continued to introduce new policies to increase the wages of workers in technical industries and increase rewards for scientific researchers, especially inventors, to encourage more people to engage in light industrial production and management.

Under Wang Zhian's strong promotion, relevant policies, systems, and management regulations were rapidly implemented, and soon a chain reaction occurred across the country. The wages of technical industry workers were significantly increased, and the bonuses of scientific researchers were significantly increased.

Afterwards, many talents with significant inventions and technological innovations emerged across the country. After being reported by the media, they became social stars for a while, which greatly inspired people's enthusiasm for innovation.

At the same time, Wang Zhian also actively promoted school-enterprise cooperation, encouraged schools to set up vocational schools, encouraged enterprises to set up employee schools, and launched night school learning. In addition, he started a vigorous literacy campaign.

Literacy is to let the uneducated people in Daxia understand basic knowledge. This will greatly improve the quality of the population. In the end, more technical talents that can adapt to the needs of modern industry can be cultivated.

This creates a very huge and obviously virtuous cycle.

For a time, it could be said that everyone in Daxia was like a dragon, and there would always be brave men under great rewards.

However, the most influential policy of Wang Zhian is the emphasis on encouraging the participation of all citizens in light industrial production and management.

In an internal speech of the Industrial Innovation Commission, Wang Zhian mentioned: "The future of Daxia is not only the glory of heavy industry, but also the prosperity of light industry. What we need to do is to encourage more ordinary people, especially skilled workers, to promote the rapid development of light industry."

"We need more light industries to develop rapidly, so that every technical innovator can work together to promote the rapid development of Daxia's light industry. Therefore, certain policy support will be given to those engaged in light industrial production and management, including technical support and financial support."
