Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 36 Uncle and Nephew on Wealth (Part [-])
In fact, there is a way to solve the labor problem, and that is to sign a contract to hire professional workers.Of course, the word "professional" here is different from that before he crossed over. The current era is Daming, not the society under the modern education system of later generations. Many people's "first occupation", no matter whether they have land or not, should be regarded as Farmers, but being a farmer is sometimes not enough to support a family, so many people will learn a craft, some learn carpentry, some learn brick kilns, some learn bamboo stick craftsmen, some learn bricklayers...etc. And so on, and so on.

But there is a problem that most of these craftsmen only regard their craft as a second job, and only do it during the slack time of farming, which makes it difficult to continue to work for a long time-people leave when the farming is busy .Generally, this kind of work is called short-term labor, but among the real employment, short-term labor is the largest group.

For Gao Pragmatism, who is used to all kinds of enterprises under the industrial system of later generations, he dislikes this model very much.Because of you: "Enterprise", if there are no workers during the busy farming season, wouldn't it have to stop production?Who will bear the loss of production suspension?Also, this time a group of day laborers have gone home to work during the busy farming season. Will the company recruit the same day laborers as before during the next slack season?If not, these new short-term workers will have to spend a certain amount of time to understand the production and living system of the enterprise, and they may have to train them in work skills first... This will seriously damage the efficiency of the industry.

Therefore, in his opinion, for a stable enterprise, it is best to reduce such short-term labor as much as possible, change short-term employment into long-term employment, or even simply let them only do the work of "workers".

Only those who meet this standard are the professional workers in his mind, and the production efficiency will be improved.Otherwise, even if it is changed to a long-term employment, if you are working here during the day and are still worried about not getting enough fertilizer in your vegetable garden, will your work efficiency be improved?
But this problem is very difficult to solve. Many companies in later generations have employee dormitories, but it is impossible for Gao Wuzhen to build this now-everyone is a family of the boss these days. If you arrange accommodation, how much will the family earn? A flat dormitory is enough to live in?If only the employees are allowed to live here, it would be a new experience. How many people are willing to come to work here without their wives and children?

Of course, according to Mr. Ma, who is famous all over the world in later generations, theoretically speaking, as long as the company can recruit people, as long as the money is paid, it can recruit people no matter what.But now the problem lies here: Gao Yushi doesn't have enough money right now!
After much deliberation, I can only compromise with the reality: I will talk about the future, and the first batch of people can only recruit a group of temporary workers. As for how to change the system in the future, it can only be considered after having money.

For the soap factory workers, this is the only solution for the time being, but the transportation issue must also be considered.Although according to the high-practical plan, at least the early soap products must be high-end products, and they don't take up much space, and transportation can't be said to be too troublesome.

But no matter how troublesome it is, with the current traffic conditions in Ming Dynasty, it is not easy to drag the goods so far - don't look at the distance (not kilometers) from Mentougou to the capital, which is only about a hundred miles (not kilometers), it will not be easy for future generations. It's less than two hours' drive, but in this day and age, it's not enough to arrive in one day, and you have to stay overnight in the middle.

Although soap is a small and expensive product in the early stage of the high-level practical plan, but because it is expensive, security must also be paid attention to.The proximity of Mentougou to the capital is of course a great guarantee for the security environment. Usually, some knowledgeable horse bandits will not directly attack the vicinity of the capital.The Ming Dynasty was not the Red Dynasty of the later generations, and the difference in the level of public security between the two was so great that it was a world of difference.It has been seven or eight years since Gao Yushi traveled to Ming Dynasty. Although it is difficult to go out at a young age, he can feel it even if he listens to the chatter of people around him. The danger in later generations is estimated to be comparable only to climbing the outer walls of high-rise buildings with bare hands and unprotected, and it is comparable to Ethan Hunt climbing the Burj Khalifa.So even if you just find dozens of stronger workers from the soap factory to escort, there must be an arrangement, right?
The location of this manor is near Wangping Town, Mentougou, not far from Yongding River. It stands to reason that the transportation is quite convenient - because if you go to the capital, you can take about half of the waterway, but although the waterway is relatively convenient, it is not enough to drive in a day. Now, if you start from the manor early in the morning, you can basically rest on the shore after walking the waterway, and you can catch up early the next day, and you can enter the capital in the evening.In this case, both boats and carriages are needed, and it is best to have two own warehouses built on the banks of the Yongding River.

Alas, all these incidents and encounters cost money!

Or it’s the same as the issue of employment, you can compromise with reality first, whether it’s a boat or a carriage, you’ll have to hire them first, and then you’ll build your own one-stop system when you have money in the future.

But even if these two things are done first according to such a compromise idea, there are still problems.The scheduled location of the soap factory is in Mentougou, which is two days away from Beijing. Since Gao Gong wants to personally supervise Gao Pragmatic's studies, he will definitely not let him go to Mentougou alone, so the soap factory must at least arrange for someone to manage the affairs. , maybe even one person is not enough, a team is needed to carry out the work.

In other words, there is still a shortage of people, and what is still missing is cronies.

Where does an eight-year-old have so many cronies?The four around me were arranged by my mother Zhang.

No, I still have to find someone important at home to do things, and I can only ask for help from my hometown in Xinzheng, and it is not very good to find Gao Gong.

Thinking of this, he sat back at the desk again, ordered to listen to the piano and study the ink, and wrote a letter home seriously, preparing to send it to his mother who stayed in Xinzheng.

But at the end, I thought of another thing, should I give my mother two pieces of soap to prove that I did not lie, that there is a real product, not a pyramid scheme...

Thinking about it again, these two pieces of soap really have to be given away. Among other things, the four people I have on hand are all appointed by my mother, and maybe they are also responsible for supervising me?After all, I am just an underage young master now, and my mother is the mistress to them, the master in the true sense.

Thinking of this, he called Shangyue in again, and asked her to choose one of the two flavors of mint and laurel from the soap test samples to make the best one, wrap it in good oil paper, and took two small sandalwood It was packed in a box and sent to Xinzheng together with the letter from home.
