Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 411 Improving People's Livelihood
Although Perfect doesn't care too much about her luxurious life, she still cares about the huge difference in life between her and ordinary people.

This is not only related to the stability of her rule, but also to whether her plan for the North can be successfully implemented.

The people's difficult lives mean that they need to spend more energy and income on maintaining daily living expenses, which means that their energy and investment in construction will be reduced, and their labor efficiency will also be reduced.

Let me ask you, is it more motivated to work if a person has enough food and clothing for three meals a day and has a good income? Or is it more motivated to work if a person has two meals a day, suffers from hunger and cold, and has an income that can't even support his family?

The answer is of course self-evident. It is impossible to want a horse to run fast without eating grass. Moreover, if a horse wants to run fast, it cannot eat grass. Instead, it needs to eat fried soybeans and concentrated feed, which are better than what humans eat.

When it comes to the workers, Perfect needs to ensure that the workers can have enough food and warm clothing, and that their income can support their families. It would be best if there is a little surplus to improve their lives. This would be the perfect situation.

It is easy to understand why workers need to be well fed and clothed. After all, in the extremely cold doomsday, people can die if they are not well fed and clothed.

In order to protect the precious population that he had saved with great difficulty, Perfect could not let them suffer from hunger and cold.

As for income… although after the end of the world, she can adopt a rationing system and simply stop paying workers, the rationing system is still paying labor remuneration, it’s just that the form of payment has changed.

Just like the bill era she experienced in her childhood before she traveled through time, at that time people did not use money but various tickets, which were actually disguised general equivalents and were also remuneration for labor.

So money is not the key, but the remuneration for labor, which can support the family.

As for leaving workers with a surplus to improve their lives, this is actually another management method to promote their labor enthusiasm.

Because for the lower-class workers, if the wages they get from their hard work every month are only enough to support their family and fill their family's stomachs, then there is undoubtedly no hope that their lives will get better.

This will make the lower-level workers lose hope in life, and they will have no motivation to strive for a better life. At the same time, they will become unwilling to work hard at work.

Having money can improve his life, which means that his life can become better and better, which will make him more motivated to work hard and make the lives of himself and his family better and better.

At the same time, this part of consumption can also stimulate domestic demand, invigorate the market, promote the development of various industries, and make the overall economy show an upward trend.

So sometimes Perfect doesn't understand why the capitalists, while squeezing the workers' labor and surplus value to the limit, also want to exploit their labor remuneration as much as possible.

How can workers buy the goods they produce if they have no money in their pockets? You can't sell all your goods to the wealthy middle class and the upper class, right?
A boss who really knows how to make money will let his workers produce what he needs, and then pay them a little more when paying wages so that the workers can afford what he produces. This cycle is formed: the factory has orders, the workers have income and their lives are improved. This is a win-win situation.

In Perfect's eyes, factory owners and capitalists who would rather donate money to charity than give their workers a pay raise are short-sighted.

Of course, it is also possible that he feels that the products he produces are not affordable for his workers, so he simply does not raise the wages of his workers to ensure his maximum profit. But this is a very stupid behavior in Perfect's view, because his workers will become more and more resentful.

Although some people may always think that "if you don't do it, there are plenty of people who can do it for you", but Palu will also choose his boss and working environment. After all, working in a factory to screw screws is not welcome. If life does not force him to do it, who would be willing to do such a purely manual job as screwing screws?

At least Perfect herself is unwilling to do this kind of job. Perhaps she would choose this kind of job temporarily due to the pressure of life, but once there is a chance to change, she will change jobs immediately.

Workers don't change jobs simply because the cost of changing jobs is too high and they cannot afford it.

If workers really feel that the loss of continuing to work is greater than the cost of changing jobs, then they will often change their jobs without hesitation.

Perfect himself thinks so, so one can imagine what the lower-level workers think.

This also requires Perfect to consider more about how to improve the lives of the lower-class people and enhance their quality of life, so as to make the social structure of the North more stable.

When she was thinking about these things, the first thing that came to her mind was naturally the thermos that she had thought of when she was observing the people's sentiments before. This thing is really a necessity of life for ordinary people. Before heating became popular, it had a very important meaning and role for ordinary people.

So Perfect did not hesitate and quickly ordered the establishment of a new factory to produce not only kettles but also another type of stove that burned charcoal directly inside.

Both of these things are not complicated. They only require raw materials and simple mechanical processing, or they can even be knocked out by hand.

So not long after Perfect gave the order, affordable, simple and easy-to-use kettles and stoves appeared on the market in Chernobog. They were warmly welcomed as soon as they were launched on the market, and sales were very hot.

Even the Shelby family, who was supported by Perfect, started the business of smuggling these kettles and stoves to other places, which shows how popular these two products are.

In fact, this is not surprising. After all, there is a real need for this thing, and urgent needs are often the most profitable businesses.

Rather than putting the money earned from the kettles and stoves into his own coffers, Perfecto used it to improve the lives of the lower-class people in Chernobog.

For example, the residential medical center she invested in setting up, although there are only one or two medical apprentices who have just graduated from medical school, they have no problem treating minor ailments such as headaches and fevers for these low-income people, and the cost is not high.

As for setting up primary schools to provide universal education, there is no need to mention it, as it is the expected routine.

If there is anything particularly innovative about Perfect, perhaps the clothing rental department is one of its features.
