Xia's Group's cheap food store is crowded with people every day, because it is the only store in Longmen that has not raised prices significantly and is affordable for ordinary people. However, due to the limited cost of the group's own consumption, deduct The part that maintains the group's employee canteen is not sold in large quantities, so not everyone can buy it every day.
And one of the benefits brought about by the depression is that the efficiency of the employees of the Xia Group has increased exponentially. Every employee sits in the group bus on the way to work, watching the business people and homeless people on the side of the road expressing their feelings from the bottom of their hearts. fear and thanks to every god who knows - the Xia Group has not yet started laying off employees!
Although the wages have been reduced, there are no layoffs, and the staff cafeteria is still providing enough cheap meals to feed the whole family. In this cold winter, it is already very rare.
Similarly, due to this situation, the new urban area of Longmen is the only place around the group's production facilities that still has a little bit of living people and bustling residues left. Although most of the luxury stores and high-end stores have also closed down, but Cheap supermarkets, snack bars and ordinary entertainment venues will remain open.
Group employees go to work with trepidation every day, for fear that suddenly the department head will come and say, you can pack your things and go home. However, it is completely different from what they imagined that the group will lay off employees sooner or later. Topic is under discussion.
To put it simply, establish a branch in Kazdale's recovery area, provide agricultural planting guidance, fertilizers, seeds and various agricultural machinery nearby, and establish a production base, because the cultural level of the Sarkaz people is true... .
Therefore, it is necessary to recruit a group of engineers and technicians from Longmen. Just under the Great Depression, their recruitment costs and their resistance to leaving Longmen's comfort zone have dropped significantly.
"We will establish a branch company and production and sales base in Montenegro, Sur and the Tiber River area. Except for the farmers and basic personnel recruited locally, each base needs at least 3 employees, mainly composed of mechanics, Agricultural technicians and some R&D personnel are the main ones. According to the boss’s wishes, if additional support is needed, the number may be even more. This time, we need to recruit at least [-] positions, can Longmen provide them?”
"Yes, of course I can, I can!" The newly appointed officials in Xincheng District are almost jumping up, even if they can't, they will definitely be able to. Whoever dares to trouble the Xia Group on this matter, he will trouble anyone!
Now that the economic situation and employment situation of the entire Longmen is already in a miserable state, at this time, someone is actually talking to him about the "big business" of Nima's 3 jobs?
Although these people will go to other places to work, their family members will stay in Longmen for consumption. Even if the whole family moves, Longmen will not be able to receive this tax, nor will it be able to get more business income, but at least the burden will be reduced. With 3 households, fewer people are looking for jobs, doesn't it mean that the chances of the remaining people finding jobs have increased!
As for the reduction of the consumption population, he no longer cared so much about it. Let's get over the immediate crisis first, and then talk about the long-term issues.
"I'll leave it to you to maintain order."
"Yes, the Guard Bureau is on standby at any time, and the recruitment will never go wrong!" If something goes wrong, the new sub-bureau chief should get the hell out of here. If he can't live by himself, this guy can't live together.
In addition to recruiting in Longmen, in fact, a large number of workers were also recruited in Syracuse, mainly to be thrown to the mountains. After all, Syracuse is also mountainous, and there are indeed many talents in mountain management and forestry. .
"The group is going to recruit people again!" The informed person shouted and ran into the cafeteria, and the cafeteria, which looked like a cold and dead tomb, suddenly became alive day by day, and everyone was poking around to ask, "Really? How many recruits!?"
"Are you really going to hire someone?"
"We have new business again!?"
For the group's recruitment in this depressed era where layoffs are everywhere, it means that it is understaffed, and even needs to be supplemented, so there will be no layoffs, at least not large-scale layoffs. Of course, some bastards may be cleared Going out, but for most hard-working people... it means that at least for a period of time, their jobs are kept.
"The Ministry of Personnel has already posted an announcement. There are a total of 3 positions. It is said that it will open up a new business base in the south, build a new factory and branch, not only to recruit people, but also to select a group of old employees to fill the cadre positions. !"
There is no warmer word than enrollment expansion and promotion and salary increase in this cold winter.If we go back two years, no fool would go to a place like Kazdale without high subsidies. If it weren't for the good welfare of the group, it would be a dream to attract enough people to open up the Sati Oasis, but now... ....
subsidy?It is a great benefit to have a full salary and pay it on time. As soon as the recruitment notice is sent out, there will be a group of tents queuing up like a refugee camp in the square at the entrance.
"One more thing, the group may convert part of the wages into real goods." This news gave everyone who was still excited, "What, what kind of money?"
Because during the depression, many factories chose to convert wages into real goods, and these real goods needed to be sold by workers to turn them into money. Many commodities were of no use to workers at all.
Xia Lin also had to do the same. The large-scale reduction in circulation caused his cash flow to shrink rapidly. Kazdel's reconstruction seemed to provide huge jobs, but it could not provide enough Longmen coins.
Of course, the easiest way is to issue their newly formulated new currency, but Kazdel's currency has not been generally recognized by all countries, and it is not as strong as Longmen currency. In other words, it is difficult to spend.
Fortunately, Lao Xia's production scale is large enough and complete enough. Since he has no money, let's hurt each other. Anyway, he can send all the goods that these employees need. As for further The problem of insufficient purchasing power due to reduced circulation is not his problem.
"I don't know, I have to wait for further notice, but I can be content, at least we still have a house to live in and free meals." I have to say, this is a very convincing reason, even if I suddenly become cold because of this bad news The atmosphere also regained a little temperature.
Compared with those on the street, it is already very good to just convert part of the salary into real goods, and if the ratio is right, maybe...
"3 to 7, [-]% off in kind, won't it cause resistance?" Little Tiger reviewed the schedule reported below.
"At least [-]% is left, and our real products are different from others'." For example, the gear manufacturer next door distributed a lot of gears to the workers, and they sold them at a low price or even as scrap iron. What is the use?However, the Xia Group is different, because it is too complete.
"The list of real objects is out, and you can choose what kind of real objects to convert." In addition to wasteful luxury goods and large equipment such as vehicles and vehicles, there are all kinds of small commodities and necessities.
"70% of your salary is converted into the group's internal consumption point. In order to let you have a good festival, the group subsidizes 20% of the additional consumption point for you. If you have any needs, you can convert it. But, remember, one change If it is finished, if it is not used up, it will be invalid next time."
This can greatly reduce logistics and warehousing costs, and there will be no temporary increase or cancellation of orders, resulting in idling of capacity and warehousing overhead.
According to the orders of these people, Sati and other places can be shipped, and the logistics and transportation can be centralized to further reduce costs. Of course, the result of cost reduction is that almost all employees with a little bit of mathematical mind have found that it seems that it is better to buy the real thing than to take the money. It's cheaper to buy in supermarkets.
Fruits, meat, grains, desserts, snacks, daily necessities, and toiletries. Except for most consumer electrical appliances, necessary heating and air conditioning are available. Skillful planned economic measures have reduced the resistance of employees to the lowest point. .
"If the effect is good, next time we can add parts about vehicles and some consumer electronics. After all, it is more cost-effective for the group to come forward and buy from other factories at the price of collecting scraps."
As for the consumption power being cut off, the death of other companies in Longmen is not a matter for the little tiger. In this cold winter evening, since it is impossible to encourage those neighbors to come out and unite against the cold, then everyone will sweep the snow and fight against the cold. Beggar-thy-neighbor is fine, the big deal is to hurt each other, I have at least four divisions here, how many do you have?
"Six divisions!" The little emperor rubbed his forehead. After a whole day of financial meetings, his whole body was going numb.
The cost of building six new combat divisions is much higher than he imagined. He can see Kazdel's military system reform, and he is also planning to form such a team that specializes in informationization, mechanization, or at least mules. A new type of combat division that maneuvers and attacks at high speed.
But when you calculate the money, it’s okay, the family’s money is only enough to build six divisions, so where did the evil doctor get the money to build a full fifteen divisions and still have enough energy to build local infrastructure and rebuild after the war? , but also updated equipment?
Their printing machines are not printing money so fast!
"It's only enough for six divisions, and it's still a search. When did I, Ursas, become so poor? Kazdel's land area is only less than 1/5 of ours. Just talking about that territory, let alone is only 1/15 the size"
"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of our vast land that our expenses are larger than Kazdel's. In fact, they are also reducing their expenses." Werther said helplessly. Ursas is a big country, and a big country naturally means With more income, it also means more places to spend money.
The doctor can only take care of his own part, and throw those burdens that do not belong to him to Teresis, and the emperor of Ursus must be responsible for all of Ursus, and this expenditure cannot be cut off.
Of course, what Werther didn’t say is that Kazdel is missing a huge burden, that is, the annuity of the nobles. They don’t have nobles, or their ruling class not only doesn’t need the support of the country, but they are better at making money one by one. Most of the money obtained has been invested in the construction of the country and the army.
One goes up and down, the burden is low and the income is high, so it is natural to move the scale of fifteen divisions, but this is also their limit.
According to Werther's understanding, among the fifteen divisions, only four are considered their main divisions, and ten of the remaining eleven are Type B light infantry divisions. The cost is high-of course, the combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the gray cattle.
There is also a mountain division of the mountain people. That unit is probably the most expensive, because the mountain people are recognized by Terra as mercenaries, but the charges are very expensive.
Even so, the doctor's side began to look a little short of money, and the speed of reorganization and formation was also slowing down, and economic construction was accelerating.
But for Ursus, while bearing huge national expenditures, it also has to bear the consumption of the nobles. At the same time, due to the geographical environment and climate, the unit output is not as good as others. Being able to form six already shows that the economic situation of the royal family is in Much improved.
Of course, this can’t be said directly. If the little emperor is finally driven crazy and directly attacks the nobles, Ursus will have to split the civil war immediately. This joke is not funny at all.
However, Werther knew that the emperor understood what he meant, and it was true. The little emperor was stunned for almost a minute, and then showed a ferocious expression, and it took a long time to calm down.
A baron needs at least 200 Ursas gold coins per year, which is equivalent to an annuity of almost 70 Longmen coins, not counting the cost of some routine rewards and preferential treatments.
And these nobles can't say how bad they are at making money, but they hide their money for themselves, and spend it to invest in national construction. The little emperor is about to crack. How big is the gap with the dog?
Especially when he thinks that these wastes can't even make money, it makes his lungs ache with anger.
At this moment, he had a deep understanding of why the doctor and the others did not keep the nobles, and even hanged all the nobles they caught, exterminated them, and razed the entire family and its inheritance.
Would rather bear the lack of noble managers, have to military control, consume a lot of economic results and the consequences of governing the place that could have destroyed and flattened Teresis's troops, rather than the cruelty of the nobles. The little emperor finally understood why, if it weren't for him He couldn't do that, and he really wanted to learn from Kazdel's advanced experience.
"Werther, tell me, how can the country be run well with these insects?"
"Uh, Your Majesty, even if they are insects, humans have never really eliminated insects, even Kazdel..."
It is also a batch of deworming every three to five times, so that the medical and health department is seriously protesting not to hang people anymore, which will induce plague-so Tallulah and White Rabbit followed suit and changed it to a tower heat furnace for incineration to generate electricity. It is safe, clean, and hygienic. Play every last bit of value.
Chapter 81 Happy Holidays
On the second day of the Winter Snow Festival, nobles and rich people celebrated the festival in mansions. Even if they consciously did not spend too much, they still bought fine wine, dried flowers, roasted pigs and fruits that are very expensive in winter, and there were musicians and dancers to add to the fun.
The soldiers on the front line also got Teresis's labor supplies under various deductions. Maybe it was because the pressure in the north was really high, or maybe it was because there was not much oil and water in the first place. Every soldier got at least one can of northern production. canned pork with lentils.
Although those cans seem to have expired, it is very rare to be able to eat hot stewed pork. However, in the countryside and the lower urban areas of the city, famine and death are spreading firmly in every inch of space. , Everywhere you may see deserted villages fleeing refugees, and abandoned mobile vehicles that lack fuel and overturned on the roadside.
The bureaucrats in the south are not wiser or more corrupt than other places. There are one after another in various towns, and the uprisings and riots that have intensified have been very effectively concealed by them, at least for now. No one wants to prepare for the festival. It's a good day to say these spoilers.
In a sense, this is why in the officialdom, those who know a certain line of work cannot be officials of this department, because there is no way to hide it from the bottom. For example, the old man in charge of the agricultural technology department at New Kazdale Xia He and the white rabbit in charge of the administrative department are typical examples.
There is a problem with storage, harvesting and planting, what type of problem, what environment it is in, and whose fault it is, they know it all. It is too difficult to report good news and not bad news, but ordinary daily work is dull Qi will not have political achievements at all.
Talula from the judiciary and Xuezhi from the finance department really understand this kind of thing. The most troublesome thing is Xuezhi. She not only understands financial work a little bit, but also understands machinery and engineering. It is really allocated according to the real cost and cost.
Coupled with Tallulah, who is proficient in the tricks of bureaucrats and nobles, the difficulty of getting lost and doing things in this situation is almost as high as heaven. There is really no one in this world who is more knowledgeable than appropriation, supervision, and acceptance. Experts are responsible for administrative affairs, and finally there is an AI behind the scenes to check for leaks and fill in vacancies, which is a more difficult project.
And for local officials, it is also typical that they should do well, and if they do not do well, they will have to suffer, and the blame cannot be thrown away. It is simply an official's life!
This is also the main reason for supporting the southern forces of Tracys. I originally thought that the mud-legged people in the north would rely on their skilled bureaucrats in the end, but now I find that the mud-legged people in the north do not intend to retain this class at all or do not intend to completely retain it. People are numb, so they can only bite the bullet and support Tracys.
After all, there are only Kelsey and Tallulah who really understand politics, aristocratic politics and bureaucratic politics in theory, and the remaining few...
In fact, I don’t know much about it. The doctor is doing it based on the experience of managing the army and the doomsday salvation organization. Lao Xia is doing it based on the experience of the Star Alliance. There is no need to keep the human bureaucracy.
"Ah, Winter Snow Festival, Your Royal Highness, don't you think the snowflakes are beautiful?" The spires and houses were covered with a layer of pure white snowflakes, and this light and beautiful white elf was mischievously flying in mid-air with the wind, Dye the eyebrows and hair of every pedestrian with their own pure white color.
"It's snowing too much." Tracy ignored the approaching guy, and stood in front of the window sill with a wine glass, "Please let me be quiet and give me a quieter space, okay?"
"No problem, Quiet and Snowy Night are the fountain of inspiration for poets." Seeing that the Prince Regent's expression was not very good, the sycophant immediately found a good excuse to leave.
"Huh~" The regent exhaled a breath of white air, and slapped it on the cold windowpane, leaving a cloud of condensation, "It's really terrible."
Looking through the glass and looking into the distance, it doesn't make any sense even if the dead street is forcibly decorated with colorful lights for the festival, that is, there are still lights on in the rich area, and the civilian area is dark, with only a faint fire on the window glass beating.
In order to give priority to supplying the front line, and of course the energy supply of the official residence, they searched for as much source stone fuel as possible, and everyone adopted fuel rationing, so most people could only rely on a small amount of source stone fuel and electricity to maintain a minimum Heating to survive the winter.
In places that are slightly poor or lack supplies, they can only burn wood or garbage, and this will undoubtedly cause fires. On the edge of the city, the burnt black area is particularly dazzling even under the cover of snowflakes.
"Bring me the latest northern intelligence." Tracys turned back and said to his entourage. He had a new plan and idea. In fact, this idea had been there since he returned from the evacuation from the north.
Soon, the collected public information on the north was in the hands of Tracys. The regent was absent from the next New Year's ball, and he carefully read the information on the north page by page in the lounge, especially Is the previous series of policy broadcast records and newspapers.
This kind of public information will not be deleted. After all, no bureaucrat will do too badly in this kind of superficial effort. Intend.
Among a group of insects, there is a very strange phenomenon, that is, Tracy himself is not one of them. The reason why Tracy chose to oppose the doctor is very simple, that is, what Sarkaz needs is a unified A powerful regime, and a civil war that hastily started will undoubtedly lead to the intervention of foreign powers.
Moreover, the organization of Rhodes Island itself has a relatively strong taste of foreign forces. Tracys does not want her country to become a battlefield for multiple foreign forces, just like the two previous wars. After the war is over, Only barren and piles of Sarkaz infected remain.
There are many other reasons, such as not believing that they can govern the country well, and the other party has no qualified officials at all, but intends to pull out the entire aristocratic bureaucratic system, which will undoubtedly bring about greater harm. Chaos, so, in order to avoid the opponent winning the civil war and then dragging Kazdel into a deeper quagmire, Tracys also had to fight against it.
Of course, there is also a private biggest purpose, that is, if he does not stand up, he will definitely end the game. In fact, after the failure of the initial central battle, Tracys was already trying to keep his own He was forced to cooperate with the nobles because his life was not liquidated.
It's a pity that these fools in the south don't see this clearly at all. They think that if they get the regent, they will also get righteousness. "After that, they all unanimously supported the Regent.
Although this is a good thing for those big families in the south, it also means that Tracys has gained a lot of real power through mediation in this situation. You will know about the power struggle at the top, they really came from Ben Trexis.
The more people defected, the greater the power of the south, the more likely it was to withstand the fierce attack from the north, and the more people came in the name of Tracys, it meant that the regent was in fact one step ahead. Take back part of the real power step by step.
But, now, having to retreat to the south, and imagining foreign interference in the future, Teresi has already realized a terrible reality-the doctor's way really works, and foreign powers also acquiesce Despite this attitude, they are still sanctioning and supporting themselves, but they are just preparing to squeeze out the last benefit they can get from Kazdel.
For Tracys and any smart person in the south, after seeing this pile of raw information, they will come to the same conclusion, that is, the New Kazdel Republic is now the de facto legal government of Sarkaz , they are the rebels.
It’s just that some lucky people covered up this information by creating various illusions. No one can wake up a group of people who pretend to be asleep. As for the smartest ones, the smartest ones have already crossed the mountains and went to the north to work for the doctor up.
"So..." Tracy looked at the document in front of her and fell into deep thought. He was obviously not the smartest one, but should he be the second smartest one?
To preserve life, restore the glory of Sarkaz, and restore the sovereignty of the Kazdel Kingdom, the three goals of Tracys, if some means are used in exchange for some promises from the north to save their lives, then the north has actually been realized now Most of the cases where the last two purposes are fulfilled, then...
"His Royal Highness is really too timid. They are just some mud legs. What kind of trouble can they cause? Really, it is too rude to be absent from the dance at this time."
"Hey, my lord, keep your voice down, this is not at home." The entourage reminded in horror, the regent can't do anything to this guy's family or even himself, but his family must also give the regent a face or Speaking of confession, then the followers who "are not effective in persuasion" will definitely die.
