Chapter 652 Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire!
"Labor law? Employment protection? Work-related injury compensation!? Urban and rural minimum wage standards!? Are you kidding me!?"
"Is His Majesty Tang En crazy? He actually ordered rectification and the new law must be implemented within three months!?"
"By the gods! If the new law is implemented, I will have to spend at least one hundred more gold coins every month!"
"Resign yourself to your fate. This means that you are the kind of capitalist who exploits and squeezes labor as His Majesty Down said."
"Nonsense! The treatment I give to my employees is the best in the entire Yalinks!"
"The standards say that from now on, Yalinx's minimum monthly salary shall not be less than twenty gold coins. This is Yalinx's minimum living standard. Are you sure all your employees have reached this level?"
"This... probably... maybe... maybe..."
"It's not achieved, right? So it must be rectified, and some kind of labor contract must be signed with the employer to protect the rights of both parties."
"When it comes to the rights of both parties, it only protects the rights of employees!"
"Don't talk nonsense, look carefully here. The labor law says that if an employee wants to terminate the labor relationship, he must notify the employer one month in advance. Otherwise, the employer has the right to deduct the monthly salary. At the same time, after establishing the labor relationship, the employee must work for the employer wholeheartedly and must not be passive. If work is slow, the employer has the right to set up performance appraisals to evaluate employees, etc..."
"Huh? That sounds good!"
"So, this labor law protects the rights and interests of both parties."
Compared with the shocked bosses, the workers at the bottom were immediately overjoyed after hearing the news of the new law, and the universal celebration was like ushering in this year's glorious festival.
"Long live His Majesty Tang En!"
"This is the king who truly deserves our support!"
"But, if the boss doesn't comply with the new law, we won't dare to report it. If others know that we reported the boss, who will dare to hire us..."
The workers who believed in Tang En said unswervingly: "I believe His Majesty will definitely find a way!"
As a result, a notice was published in Datang Daily the next day.
All commercial organizations with an employment relationship, such as firms or shops, must comply with labor laws. If they fail to comply, they will be severely sanctioned once verified by the new supervisory department of the empire. Sanctions include but are not limited to confiscation of huge amounts of gold coins and the responsibility of the empire. Penalties, increased tax rates, forced closure of business projects, etc.
As soon as the thunderous method was used, all opposition voices suddenly disappeared.
Facing the huge and cold-blooded state machine, what else can they say? We can only follow the rules.
However, there were still some lucky merchants who secretly followed the old practices, but ended up being caught by the inspection team sent by the newly established Labor Inspection Department, and ended up losing everything.
This is all a digression. What is really worth mentioning is the Ellington recruitment announcement released at the same time as the Labor Law. As soon as this announcement came out, it really lit the fire.
In the tavern, the workers who gathered together after get off work gathered together to drink and drink. One of them said with a drunken face: "Have you read today's Datang Daily?"
"Are you talking about labor law?"
"No, it's a job board. It says that Ellington is currently recruiting a large number of workers. It requires young and strong men between the ages of eighteen and forty."
"I really didn't pay attention. What's wrong? Are you excited?"
"Of course! You didn't see the recruitment information above!"
The drunk man's face turned red when he mentioned this incident: "Although Ellington was still an inconspicuous border town last year, since His Majesty Tang En arrived there, Ellington has become a different place now. Compared to the past, the welfare benefits there are simply the best in the country!"
Another person was very surprised: "Really? Better than your current treatment?"
"Yes! As long as the application is successful, someone will train the job seeker after arriving at Ellington. Finally, the job will be arranged based on the training results. The best reward is to enter the Magic Military Factory. I heard that the monthly salary there is one hundred gold coins. Starting from 500 gold coins, the highest one can even get 500 gold coins! Even at the worst Ellington Paper Mill, the minimum monthly salary is 50 gold coins, which is not a little better than the treatment here in Links!"
"But you already have a family..."
"What are you talking about? What we can think of, His Majesty Tang En would not think of? The recruitment information says that after applying, job seekers who have already started a family can bring their families to Ellington. The Ellington City Government is responsible for allocating housing. He is even responsible for the child's education. If the child is determined to be talented, he can also learn combat skills and magic - I heard that Ellington Academy has a basic introduction to magic, and the elves are responsible for teaching it!"
A group of people around were stunned: "There is such a good thing!?"
"Since it was promised by His Majesty Tang En himself, it must be true! I now fully support His Majesty Tang En. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has launched a series of reform measures that are all beneficial to us people. Besides him, there will be others Who thinks so much about us people?”
The man who spoke said enthusiastically: "If His Majesty Tang En needs it, I am willing to become his soldier and fight for him on the battlefield at any time!"
"Come on, I heard that the worst reserve members of His Majesty Tang En's personal guard are also Black Iron-level Apocalypse. Those real elites are all Silver-level Apocalypse who have been on the battlefield for a long time. Even if you want to give Tang En Well, Your Majesty doesn’t want to be used as cannon fodder.”
"Yes, I am not qualified to be cannon fodder for His Majesty Tang En, but I am willing to contribute my own strength to him. I have decided that I will tell my mother-in-law when I go back in the evening and I will go to the recruitment center to apply for the job tomorrow. !”
"Are you crazy!? You are doing a good job at your current job and suddenly you quit? You need to tell your boss one month in advance when you want to leave!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Our boss hasn't signed a labor contract with me yet. According to the new law, this is an illegal employment relationship and is not recognized. At worst, I won't get this month's salary!"
The man waved his hand and said impassionedly: "As long as I can go to Ellington, I can earn the salary of the previous two or three months in one month. My wife will definitely not say anything. She may earn more." , I can still marry another one and go home, hehe..."
"When you said that, I was moved. Why don't we apply for the job together tomorrow?"
"Okay, that's it, I wish we can enter Ellington smoothly, cheers!"
"cheers!"
…
royal palace.
"You have set off a lot of fire this time. I am almost annoyed to death by the people below."
Alleria looked at Tang En with a look of resentment. After he burned the fire, the big trading houses with relatively large connections could not find anyone else. As a result, the last few marquis and counts came to her to complain.
Tang En, who was thinking about the matter, curled his lips and said without raising his head: "Really? Let them rest while they complain. If you want to make money but don't want to take social responsibility, how can that be a good thing?"
"They all complained about the sharp rise in employment costs and the sharp drop in income, saying that the taxes paid next quarter should definitely drop."
Alleria rolled her eyes and took the tea cup from his hand, but she was suddenly shocked when she saw Nora soaking in the tea cup.
Nora smiled at her, then flapped her wings and flew to Tang En's head again and started wiping his hair.
Alleria looked at the fragrant tea in the cup, thought for a while, and quietly placed the cup in front of Tang En.
"This is threatening us."
Tang En picked up the tea cup, took a sip, smashed it and said, "Let them make trouble, time will tell everything."
"In the long run, your new policy will definitely be beneficial to the development of the country. People will consume when they have money, and then the income of those chambers of commerce will increase. But not everyone has such a long-term vision. They see It’s just a loss now.”
Alleria said while looking at Tang En strangely, not knowing what flavor he would taste.
"So they can only be ruled, not become rulers."
Tang En shrugged, looked straight ahead with unfocused eyes and said: "Let them make trouble as they please, as long as they ensure the implementation of labor laws and ensure that Ellington recruits enough workers, I don't have the time right now. To deal with them, your father and I are thinking about important matters."
Alleria raised her eyebrows when she heard this and glanced at Tang En: "My father is here too?"
Tang En shook his head and pointed at his head. Alleria understood and quietly left the room and closed the door.
As Tang En said, after the new policy is issued, just ensure that labor laws are implemented so that Ellington can recruit enough workers. This is a game. Tang En is the one who makes the rules, and they abide by the rules. One side, so this is doomed to be the losing side.
Once Ellington recruited a large number of laborers and there was a labor shortage in the market, bosses competed with each other for workers when recruiting, and the wages offered would naturally increase. And those bosses who wanted to ensure that workers would not continue to lose workers would You can only sign a labor contract with them.
Therefore, as long as they still want to stay in this industry and make money, they can only continue to play with Tang En.
Labor law matters will be on the right track as long as they go naturally, and other people will be responsible for recruiting and training employees. The only thing Tang En has to pay attention to now is the Battle of Vashqir in a week, and the relationship between the Battle of Vashqir Whether the new weapons designed by Tang En can play the expected role is also related to whether he can get Naga as a powerful ally. As for the few survivors, the Raging Wave Murlocs are almost exterminated...
Tang En really couldn't bear to let them continue to fight for him, so he might as well leave some incense for them.
And then there's what he's discussing with Victor now.
About the plan to build the Hall of Valor.
