The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 91

Something bad happened to the engineering team. Fortunately, it was still in the brewing stage, and it was discovered in advance.

Not the railway engineering team, but the former engineering team.

Zhu Gaochi found Xu Ning.

Xu Ning knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he thought of a way in advance. Although it was irrelevant, it proved that his mind was on the engineering team.

"The workers of the engineering team have four days of vacation every month. Since the manpower is so tight, do you want to cancel the vacation?"

The idea that Xu Ning came up with wasn't something he had just thought of, he had been thinking about it for a long time.

"In order not to affect the morale of the workers, the wages of the new workers can be reduced a bit, and the four-day holiday will not be cancelled, but overtime work is encouraged and overtime pay will be given."

Zhu Gaochi was tongue-tied and stared at Xu Ning in shock.

Xu Ning subconsciously averted his gaze, and said anxiously: "Young Lord benevolent, my method is quite comprehensive, it all depends on the workers' voluntary."

Capitalist.

In case of indecision, squeeze the workers first, and squeeze the workers as a cure for all diseases.

"Xu Ning."

"Little prince, tell me." Xu Ning said respectfully.

Zhu Gaochi patted Xu Ning's shoulder with a sigh, "You're improving so fast."

Xu Ning is not a fool, he heard something wrong in what he said, but no matter how he thought about it, he didn't feel that he was wrong.

The engineering team encourages overtime work, which is good for the engineering team and not harmful, and I also consider the benevolence of the nobles.

Therefore, whether the workers work overtime or not, the engineering team does not force them to do so, it is driven by profit.

"Zhou Shifeng also proposed a similar method to let the mine owners bargain among themselves so that the coke refinery can get the maximum profit. Guess how we responded?"

"I do not know."

Xu Ning looked honest.

"We told Zhou Shifeng to ensure the mine owner's profit and set the lowest purchase price, which is the same for the mine owner. Of course, we will not agree to the method you said. Do you know why?"

"I don't know, please enlighten me, my little prince."

"We are not businessmen. If you do this, don't you push us to the opposite side of the common people? Do you think we still need to work so hard and worry about the factory every day to get into the eyes of money?"

Zhu Gaochi glanced at the workers on the construction site, as well as the foremen among the workers.

in his eyes.

The role of these team leaders is not less than that of Yao Guangxiao.

There are various factors in the army's ability to win battles, but a large number of qualified captains in the army is inevitable.

The same goes for factories.

If it is left to its own devices, it will definitely become a man-eating factory just like the factories in the West, standing on the opposite side of the common people.

In other words, Zhu Gaochi needs to build a corporate culture.

What does corporate culture depend on?Relying on a large number of grassroots managers to get used to and abide by the factory's system, the corporate culture is formed.

It is not enough to hold a few meetings and emphasize a few words of corporate culture.

Just like countless large and small companies in later generations, they shout about wolf culture every day, but most companies don't even understand what wolf culture is.

Dong Shi is just imitating, stupid behavior, so that those real wolf cultural companies who are being studied will probably laugh out loud.

Xu Ning is one of the most talented managers among many managers, but he also has some limitations.

"Xu Ning, in fact, you are very smart. You are the one with the most flexible mind in the factory. The most important thing is that you are serious and careful in doing things, and you have read books. You have several rare qualities, but you know your biggest shortcoming. What is it?"

Xu Ning became the head of the engineering team from a small deacon. Zhu Gaochi is willing to train this person because he has the conditions for training.

The 21st century laments the rare talent, let alone the [-]th century.

Although there are many people, those who can meet their own unique needs are indeed extremely rare. If they are really good at reading, they will only be fascinated by the examination room.

"Your ego is too heavy, and you underestimate the hearts of the workers." Zhu Gaochi shook his hand, interrupting Xu Ning's explanation.

"I know you've done a good job, but you have to know that even the poorest person is still a person, not a mindless animal, but he has no chance to appeal to the society."

"There are many widows in the engineering team. These widows live very hard. Many of you take it for granted that it is a good thing for the workers of the engineering team to marry these widows."

"The atmosphere in the engineering team is very bad now. Some widows obviously look down on others, but they still stalk them and make excessive actions. This is already a very serious and bad behavior. Why didn't you punish them severely earlier? "

"If you had curbed this trend earlier, you wouldn't have caused these people to have wrong ideas, so that it developed to this point. This is your management's fault."

The more Zhu Gaochi talked, the more angry he became.

Xu Ning didn't argue, and said solemnly: "We did something wrong, because we learned that the little prince was very happy with the marriage of the workers of the engineering team, so many managers were happy to facilitate this matter, even if there were widows crying, many people saw it. Pretend you didn't see it."

"It's good that you can see the problem clearly. We are not afraid of making mistakes, but we must avoid making the same mistakes next time."

"People have emotions and desires. It is a good thing that workers can settle down in the engineering team, but we can't turn a good thing into a bad thing and become a bureaucracy."

"People, don't have the idea of ​​being superior to others. With this kind of thinking, you will ignore others and take many things as a matter of course. We don't have this kind of thinking. Naturally, this kind of thinking is not allowed in our team. idea."

So what if you are a noble person?

As long as he can integrate into the people and sincerely do things for the benefit of the people, the people will naturally support him. Isn't Napoleon integrated into the soldiers?

He did many things for the soldiers, and many nobles laughed at him at that time.

For example, he felt that the soldiers cared about the sense of honor, so he created a batch of medals and distributed them to soldiers and officers. Many nobles laughed at him because of this, comparing him to a clown.

When he was at his lowest point, he slipped out of Prison Island and walked alone in front of the thousands of troops who came to deal with him.

Under the urging of the officers, none of the soldiers pulled the trigger on Napoleon.

Napoleon said on the spot, your emperor is back.All the soldiers were on the spot anyway.

The same is true for China.

Many people ridiculed that the common people were numb and thoughtless.For example, Lu Xun, but he didn't know that no one in that era was worthy of the support of the people.

Forget the power of the people.

Don't say that you are a clan, even if you are an emperor, as long as you sincerely work for the welfare of the people, you will naturally get the support of the people.

The small things around the people are the big things in the eyes of the people.

The affairs of the country are too far away from the common people.

What good will it do if we treat the trivial things of ordinary people as big things and as the most important thing?
People in the Ming Dynasty didn't know how powerful they were, but Zhu Gaochi did.

That is the force that dares to wrestle with nature.

So what Zhu Gaochi valued was not the major events in the palace, those major events with the government, these major events were not important at all.

Many people don't understand this truth.

Doing a good job of the small things around the common people one by one, and concentrating on it is called a big thing.

So when Zhu Di said that he was busy with trivial matters every day, and he told him the truth, he still didn't agree.

It can only be said that his knowledge is shallow, and he is not as good as himself after all.

……

"I just picked it from the vegetable field, so there must be no goods." The old farmer squeezed out a smile that he hadn't seen for many years, and the wrinkles on his old face were stretched out for the first time.

The engineering team came to work here and bought up all the vegetables in the surrounding vegetable fields in the past few months. Like him, there are more than a dozen households who insist on selling vegetables here every day.

In the three simple wooden sheds, dozens of women were busy.

The steward counts the goods.

Turn a deaf ear to the words of the old farmer.

Those waiting in line to be counted, as well as butchers, oil sellers, etc., vendors No. [-] and [-] also nodded and bowed around the steward.

In the noisy voice, the steward stared at the weight.

After others have finished weighing, the steward uses a brush to draw a tick on that column on the list. After all the columns are drawn, he signs his name below.

"Give you."

The old man in charge of weighing took it over and didn't even look at it. He "painted" his name crookedly and completed the counting work.

"Tomorrow is the day to pay the bill. Bring your own receipts. You should come to this place to pay the bill. If you are delayed, you will have to wait another three days."

The steward dismissed everyone.

Since Xu Ning became the shopkeeper, the engineering team has become more disciplined, especially when it comes to money.

Relying on the good reputation, the engineering team proposed to settle the bill once every three days, but none of the vendors refused, and they were reluctant to do this business.

The business is not big, but the farmers and small traders have surplus money in their hands, and life is much easier.

Several women came to help, moving the contents of the various boxes into the kitchen.

Then the women began to clean and pick, some killed fish and some cut meat. This is the busiest time of the day.

The steward was wearing a blue gown, his small eyes swept around, he was happy to see that no one was slacking off, if it weren't for the nobleman getting angry today, it would be another beautiful day.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and stared fiercely at the woman who was accompanied by two children.

The woman bent down, scooped water from the bucket into the basin, and made a "crash" sound.

For some reason, her waist was bent even lower, and she never raised her head. If she raised her head, she would just be able to meet the supervisor's gaze.

The seven or eight-year-old child next to her with a snot in his nose looked around boredly, but was stared at by the steward, who made him cry in fright.

"Why are you crying?" There was a 12-year-old boy next to the child, who was helping his mother with work, and reprimanded him when he heard his brother crying.

The child didn't dare to cry anymore, and occasionally choked up twice.

The women working around quietly stayed away from this place, making the mother and son look even more lonely.

Nobody wants to lose their engineering team jobs.

Although the wages are very small, what else can they do after they leave here, this is their everything.

It is the only duckweed they can catch in their unfortunate lives.

Xu Ning walked in suddenly.

"Shopkeeper, are you all right, did your lord say anything?" The steward's face, which was still clouded just now, suddenly became sunny.

With a cold face, Xu Ning swept around the kitchen, then walked straight to the woman.

The woman had always bent her waist, but now she bent even lower, her frail shoulders could be seen trembling, she knew everything.

"You don't have to be afraid, the nobleman said, you can do things with peace of mind, no one can hurt you, if there are similar things in the future, you can come to me directly." Xu Ning's voice was very soft.

"I...I don't dare anymore." The woman cried.

She didn't know why she was dizzy, but when she saw the kind little nobleman, she immediately talked about what she had been entangled with recently.

"There's really no way."

Every night that person knocked on the door and kicked it if he didn't open it. Not only the neighbors heard it, but also the youngest was so frightened that he cried.

"It's not your fault, it's our negligence. These are your two children, right? I'm a child of half a child. It's not easy for you to raise two children alone."

"You don't know the little prince. The little prince admires you the most. You will work hard in the future. The engineering team has a lot of work to do. When the two boys are brought up, you should enjoy the blessing."

"What's your name?" Xu Ning comforted the woman, then patted the child's head.

"My name is Zhao Rui."

"And you."

The boy had a stubborn face, and his eyes were fierce, like a hedgehog with thorns.

"Take good care of your mother, grow up quickly, you will be the pillar of the family." Xu Ning didn't care.

"You come with me."

Xu Ning turned his head and left, pointing to the steward.

The steward raised his legs and trot to follow.

When he got outside, Xu Ning no longer had the pleasant look just now, and his face was full of displeasure, "What's the matter with you? Can you do a good job?"

"Who knew that such a thing would happen if someone was so daring." The steward was also aggrieved.

In his opinion, this matter has nothing to do with him.

I am unlucky to go out today.

"We are an engineering team here, not a grass-roots team. The regulations are clearly written. Although the nobleman didn't say it, who doesn't know that the nobleman has people in his heart?"

"Don't say that this kind of thing shouldn't happen. Even if there is such a sign, you have to stop it in advance. If you don't have this ability, don't take care of it."

"Boss, I guarantee that there will be no more in the future." The manager quickly promised.

"Be more open-minded."

Although Xu Ning is young, he is not the deacon who always smiles when he sees everyone at the beginning. He is a group of stewards in the engineering team, and he is so obedient to him.

All the thorns were cleared out by him, and all the people left were those who were in charge.

He never thought that other places did not cause trouble, and the kitchen, the most unobtrusive place, made a big mess with him.

On the way here, I thought about whether to change the kitchen manager, and finally decided to give this person another chance.

Substitution is easy, but substitution is just a means. Things are not bad enough to replace. This person is serious and responsible, so Xu Ning is not willing to change easily.

"And that sister-in-law, don't make things difficult, the nobleman remembers her, maybe she will ask again later."

"The shopkeeper is indeed the shopkeeper, why didn't I think of it." The manager said in fear, he was still thinking about turning around and telling the woman to leave.

"If you think about it, you won't go wrong."

One day passed.

No one bothered the woman.

A few days later, as if nothing happened, and she didn't knock on the door of her house at night, the woman's face finally calmed down.

Some things are very important to her, but in the eyes of the nobleman, they can be solved with just one sentence.

"Boss, don't come to work with me tomorrow." The woman ordered, "You should go to study and read."

"I can read."

"It's always good to read a few more years."

"There is no money at home."

"You couldn't afford to go to the private school you attended before. The social school in the Confucian Temple is too far away. You should go to the voluntary school. You brothers have to walk more than ten miles every day because of hard work."

Zhao Hong lowered his head, "I'm not good at studying, and I can't compare to others. Why don't I help the family more and let my younger brother study."

"If you want to go, go." The woman shed tears angrily. The boss has a stubborn personality and is easy to suffer.

"Mother, don't be angry, the son just obeys mother." Zhao Hong, who was fierce in front of everyone, was very obedient in front of his mother.
