Chapter 691 Hard Work
The early mornings in winter in Stim are always extremely cold. Even in the non-ice-free port, if you don't wrap yourself up tightly and have a cup of thick hot soup early in the morning, you will feel your hands and feet shaking.
The snow stopped today.
According to the news from the weather observatory, several counties in the south of Albion will usher in a short period of warming in the next period of time. As for whether it will drop, it depends on whether the cold current from the north will continue to intensify. The cold current from the Far North Continent has the power to easily reverse the time of spring in Albion. Sometimes, it can even cause extreme climates with no spring or even no summer for half of the continent throughout the year.
According to the summary and prediction of meteorologists, the climate of the entire continent may be in an unbalanced period caused by the violent movement of the Foehn Sea.
During this period, seasonal climate may become extreme.
For example, the high-latitude agricultural area of Hops, which relies on ocean currents for warmth, may experience extremely cold weather throughout the year, which is similar to the doomsday movie The Day After Tomorrow. As for places like the southern border of Albion and the Far South Continent, during the period of rain and heat, they may directly become a severe drought plus typhoon or rainstorm climate. This kind of climate disaster depends entirely on the underground volcanic group activity of the Foehn Sea. However, after reading the newspaper news, Lin En felt that this winter should not be too bad.
He sat in the office and sipped the hot water casually.
Putting down today's newspaper, the young man turned around and picked up a worker training progress report, which recorded the learning situation and efficiency of the new workers under the rules and regulations formulated by him and Yuri in the past half month. The most obvious thing about this new system is that the wolf-like foremen, the work method of chaining dogs, and the rest of the card are cancelled, and they are regarded as workers rather than slaves.
Although these situations are actually rare in combination, the inertia of society cannot be changed in a short time.
Not to mention the problem of numbness.
Being exploited is not terrible. What is terrible is that one does not feel that he is suffering, and even feels sorry for the master who is well-dressed and well-fed. That is really hopeless. Lin En cannot save such people. He can only save those who still want to save themselves. [Liaoyuan Commune] was established for such people. In the current jurisdiction, as long as you are willing to learn and work hard, you will at least have enough food to eat, and the future will be better.
Lin En is unwilling to recruit experienced veterans, and is more willing to recruit young newcomers. This is also the reason.
What is to be established is a new model, of course, young people with strong receptive ability are needed. If the old workers' bad habits of bullying newcomers, hiding skills, and foremen withholding wages are brought in, even if the big bald head goes all out to brainwash, it will probably take a long time to correct them. He would rather have a group of young people quickly build a framework first, and then use iron-like discipline and treatment to make this framework run, and then spread it outward while ensuring its own purity.
Of course, Xiao Xiansheng thinks that the most ideal situation is that the workers have a sense of ownership and determination, and have a comprehensive plan to hang their evil old boss on the street lamp while enjoying their rights. However, Lin En is pessimistic about this. Unless the new extraordinary road he created proves that sweat can go through the old extraordinary road, the vested interests will be determined to resist.
This road is obviously the road of sweat and quantity. If it can be linked to advanced productivity, then the wheel of history will begin to roll.
"Hey, if I had that kind of channel to exchange materials."
Thinking of the extremely convenient conscience exchange of the officers in the novel before the crossing, Lin En now only hates that he does not have that method. All the raw materials for the preparation of industries and the start of work in all his factories are provided by the upstream of the Countess's industrial chain. This good life looks beautiful, but in fact it is controlled by others.
For example, if you can only buy a product from one company, and its cost and labor add up to 10, then it can sell you 1,000 at will, because you can only buy it from it. If this product can be replaced, then it will never dare to set an outrageous price.
The same goes for channels.
Raw material channels, processing channels, and sales channels. If there is only one channel, it is easy to be strangled by others. Therefore, Lin En is more eager to open a channel of his own that can be connected to Hops. There is everything there. Under the legal plunder of the state, it is too much for him to secretly share a little. There is also a doctor Ziegler and the power of the [Gem Society] in Hops.
Looking at the humanity of the new system, sufficient welfare, and the upward channels that can be felt, the workers are very motivated. I can't wait to put my whole family into the [Liaoyuan Commune], but the commune that has not yet fully opened its stall obviously cannot satisfy so many people. I can only let them wait and exercise their abilities first.
Lack of motivation...
The petty citizens of this era are still very simple. If they are really not simple and lazy, they will go to join the gangs. How can they say that they are willing to come to the commune to participate in labor and study.
Even if there are such people, there is no need for leaders like Lin En to say anything, because people who are eager to come here to earn a living next year will automatically squeeze them out.
"The current factory operation rate is less than 15%, or there are too few workers. The first batch of workers suggested that they could slow down production, discuss and solve problems with each other, and at the same time encourage new workers to learn, and develop an atmosphere that encourages learning, using brains to solve problems and improve links..."
The new workers are the seeds of the new type of extraordinary people in the future. If you raise them like cattle and horses, you can't expect them to grow into towering trees.
Are these workers hard-working?
To be honest, compared with sweatshops, it is definitely not hard, not physically hard. But mentally, it is quite torturous. They have to learn what the extraordinary people learned before, such as mysticism, astrology, celestial creatures, customs and cultures of different regions, etc. They also have to learn what the extraordinary people don't learn, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and standard courses of psychic models.
But no matter how mentally tormenting people, it is not as terrible as physical torment.
Just like the high school entrance examination, every year there will be students who can't bear it and jump off the building. The mortality rate is too low compared to the huge student population, so low that it can be accepted by the public. And in a sweatshop, people may be useless in three years and dead in five years. The mortality rate is so high that it is outrageous.
Lin En picked up the hot water again.
He took a sip and noticed that his mouth was cold. It turned out that he had been writing the document proposal for too long, and the water had already cooled down.
