Chapter 190 The first generation of factory girls
What a waste!
It just depends on whether it is better to earn more or less?
But in Li Yi's view, making little money means losing money. This kind of thinking is very advanced.
Feng Yong thought for a while and sighed, "In the end, there is no way out, and we have to provide for Hanzhong first. Let's talk about this later."
“Brother, if you seriously consider this matter, there is nothing you can do about it.”
Li Yi continued to lower his voice and said, "It's just that this is not the place to talk at this time. I will talk to my brother in detail when I have an opportunity later."
Mei Sizi didn't know what the adults were muttering there. She looked a little lonely standing there. She glanced at her furtively, but found that no one was looking at her at all.
I was a little worried at first, but I don’t know how I will behave this time.
However, when I saw the faces of several young adults, I couldn't help but feel a little happy. It didn't look like a bad thing.
At this time, some of the Qiang girls on the other side of the spinning wheel began to stop, came forward holding a piece of yarn, and said in half-baked Chinese: "Sir, it's done."
“Well, not bad.” Feng Yong took it, weighed it, and praised it casually.
There is no need to take a closer look at this. The spinning wheel has been improved, but it has not been able to exert its full effect. The technology of the weavers needs to be improved.
"This spinning wheel is really fast!" Before Li Yi calmed down, he took the spindle handed over by Feng Yong and looked at it over and over, as if it was really a rare thing. "In the past, I could get one spindle a day. , it’s already rare, I never thought that in less than half a day, I would get one tablet, how wonderful!”
"Okay, Mei Sizi, you performed very well this time and weaved very well." Feng Yong looked at Mei Sizi, who had been waiting beside him, and said kindly, "After you go back today, treat yourself well." Think of a name. Let me know when the time comes and I will register you with a household name."
“Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!”
Meisizi finally got Feng Yong's promise, and immediately lay down on the ground and kowtowed several times.
Once you get the household registration, you are considered a Han Chinese. You are no longer a vulgar Hu. You no longer need to act based on the boss's face. You are free - I guess you are free.
Although she also understood that even if she was free, she could not leave here, otherwise she would either starve to death or become a slave again.
But at least around here, within the jurisdiction of the lord in front of her, she is free and nobler than those previous tribesmen.
“Okay, let’s disperse.”
Seeing the Qiang women completing the operations one after another, Feng Yong was quite satisfied with the demonstration.
The first textile factory of this era seems to be established soon.
And Mei Sizi and the others were the first batch of factory girls.
"Brother, if you register those Qiang women, aren't you afraid..."
Li Yi watched the Qiang girls disperse and then spoke.
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that they will run away?"
Feng Yong smiled and said nonchalantly, "Don't forget, there are still five years of contract."
Feng Yong is not just a good person doing good deeds.
Although the female weavers were given household registration, there was still a prerequisite, that is, they had to sign a five-year contract. After working for five years, they would be free to leave without forcing it.
“But what about five years from now?”
"Five years later?"
Later generations say that working is hard, but why are there still so many factory girls?
Especially in Guangdong Province in the 1990s, how many people flocked there to work?
Because no matter how hard it is to work in a factory, is it as hard as working at home?
Of course, later on, when the country’s economy improved, this phenomenon became less common.
But as long as there are industrial zones, factory girls will not disappear. It is much better to get wages from factories than to eat from the few plots of land at home.
By the same token, as long as Feng Yong can keep the living standards of the factory girls in his hands higher than those of ordinary people, then even if the Qiang girls are given freedom, they will still take the initiative to stay.
How can slaves who are forced to work work as efficiently as those who work for a better life?
Besides, the slave has fart vitality? They belong to the slave master both physically and mentally, and they only need to be given a mouthful of food. Although it looks beautiful, it is only beautiful to the slave owner and is of no use to society at all.
It is different for free people.
Although wages have to be paid, the wages these days are basically rice grains. Feng Yong even plans to print some grain stamps himself and send them directly to calculate wages.
At that time, let them take the food stamps and either exchange them for grains in the textile factory, or go to the canteen to exchange them for a day's worth of food. It's all fine.
As the days go by and you eat enough, you want to wear warm clothes, live well, and improve your living standards to a higher level. You may even want a woman or a man to make your life more pleasant. This is normal. There is no need for Feng Yong to promote the development of human needs.
At that time, some people will naturally be quick-thinking and think about saving some food or food stamps and then exchange them for what they want. This is the most basic economic transaction.
How can prosperity come without economic transactions? How to improve people's enthusiasm?
At this time, Feng Yong can take action again. Whatever they want, they can sell whatever they want. Anyway, they will go out with their left hand and go in with their right hand, and they will not lose money.
Are only those who belong completely to the slave owner called slaves?
With no means of production or tools of production, if they leave Feng Yong, they will become slaves of others again. Aren't they a kind of slaves in disguise?
Of course, with the continuous efforts of the factory girls and factory boys in the future, some people will eventually get rid of this completely dependent relationship, but when that time comes, Feng Yong will still be happy.
What does Shuhan lack most?
population.
By the time these people can really survive without the textile factory, they will have been basically Chineseized.
At that time, that will be what Zhuge Laoyao has to worry about. What does it have to do with Feng Yong?
Besides, can they still escape from the big man? Take the initiative to return to Hudi to herd cattle and sheep? Are you kidding me?
Regardless of whether the Hu people will recognize them or not, it is impossible for them to live that kind of precarious life anymore. They may even look down on the life of ordinary Han people in Guizhou.
At any rate, he can be regarded as a person who has no worries about food and clothing!
Those who have no worries about food and clothing are still called Qianshou?
Then, the only way for the Chinese Hu people who can only speak Chinese and cannot write Chinese characters to climb up the ladder is to follow the old demon Zhuge to go to the battlefield to win.
At least you can speak both Chinese and Hu languages, so you can be considered a talented translator, right? In addition, if you are familiar with the terrain and do well, you can probably get a low-level boss or something.
As for those who want to be more comfortable, just follow Feng Yong and continue to hang out.
In any case, Feng Yong regarded the first generation of Chinese Hu people as the most basic industrial consumables, and he would not feel bad if they left or died.
Only those who are literate and have a certain ability to think can be regarded as barely qualified workers.
This will start from their second generation.
