Don't look at the increase of only one yuan or two yuan, but in fact this means that the labor cost has increased by more than 20%.
However, the profits of many industries are not so high. Once they are forced, many companies will go bankrupt.
Therefore, it is unreliable to force companies to raise the average salary level, and it may lead to large-scale economic turmoil.
However, Chen Lifu proposed a plan for Li Xuan, that is, the minimum wage income level set in the early stage does not need to reach the average salary level of the local young and strong labor force, and can be lower.
But even if the new minimum wage is lower than the current average wage for young adults, it will still be higher than the current female and child workers.
Even if such enterprises will increase a certain cost, but this cost is controllable.
Chen Lifu's vision is that he does not want to push the average salary of young and middle-aged laborers up, he just wants to make the salary income of female workers and child laborers higher than it is now.
That is to say, although Chen Lifu seems to be very radical, he also knows how to take it step by step, and does not expect to reach the sky step by step.
In this way, Li Xuan changed his mind about Chen Lifu.
At the beginning, Chen Lifu acted very radically. When he first took office, he proposed three major reform plans. Whether it was the agricultural tax reform, the minimum wage, or the restriction of working hours, each of these actually had a great impact.
However, after Chen Lifu shouted these slogans in a high-profile manner, in the specific implementation process, he took partial and one-sided measures.
In terms of agricultural tax, he did not involve the overseas mainland, overseas territories and other frontier provinces in the mainland, but limited it to the central and eastern areas with more people and less land.
In fact, these places have been almost done before this. When the Tang Dynasty carried out agricultural reforms in the early years, it was mainly aimed at this area. The unified agricultural tax and stepped tax rate that have been implemented for many years have long been used by local landlords. Unprofitable, and then transfer assets from land to industry and commerce.
Then, through redemption by the government, the land that originally belonged to the landlord was transferred to the ordinary people in the form of renting and purchasing.
Coupled with the large tracts of land under the control of the government, the agricultural reform in this area has actually been almost completed, and now there are only a few residues left.
This is also the reason why Li Xuan approved the specific measures without much scruples after Chen Lifu proposed specific measures. That is, the agricultural reform proposed by Chen Lifu this time limited the area.
In terms of the current restrictions on working hours and the minimum wage, Chen Lifu is not as radical as others imagined. On the contrary, in the eyes of outsiders, Chen Lifu is constantly compromising.
For example, in the earliest days, the slogan revealed by Chen Lifu was 22 days a month, 8 hours a day, but later when he put forward a formal proposal in front of Li Xuan, it was already 26 days a month. , a ten-hour work day.
However, after waiting for a few days, at the meeting of the Ministers on Duty in the Imperial Study Room, in the face of unanimous opposition from many people, he lowered the standard again, that is, two days of paid holidays per month, and a twelve-hour work system per day.
Although such a standard is still unacceptable to many people, the voice of opposition is not so loud, especially Xie Yiwei, who also supports reform, but is not as radical as Chen Lifu, also supports Chen Lifu. The new standard proposed by Chen Lifu, of course, will have certain negative effects, but the positive effects are greater, as the saying goes, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
On the point of limiting working hours, Chen Lifu made a big concession.
In the same way, Chen Lifu made a huge concession in the eyes of outsiders on the minimum wage standard.
At the beginning, Chen Lifu demanded that the minimum wage standard be set according to 80% of the average salary of government employees in various places. This was undoubtedly opposed by everyone. Even Li Xuan, the Son of Heaven, did not support such a radical reform plan. .
Be aware that the average salary of government employees is relatively high.
What are government employees, in fact, are officials at all levels.
At present, the average salary of officials in Datang is relatively high, because over the years, although the salary level of middle and senior officials has not increased, but has dropped a part, the salary level of low-level officials has generally increased.
Take the government employees in Songjiang Prefecture, that is, the staff members of the two levels of the 9th and 8th grades, as an example. If their job salaries and grade salaries, plus some subsidies, their monthly after-tax income will probably be maintained. Between ten and fifteen dollars.
It is worth noting that this is only the money they get directly. In fact, they can get a lot of benefits. For example, they can get some benefits during Chinese New Year and festivals. Rice and grain are the most basic things. If the year-end bonus is added, if this part is also counted, their after-tax income can generally reach about 15 to 20 yuan.
It can also be said that the annual income of a low-level government employee is generally between 180 yuan and 240 yuan, and some special positions, such as those requiring advanced skills or dangerous positions, can probably earn as much as More than three hundred yuan.
Such an income, even in the Songjiang Prefecture area, can barely be regarded as the income of the lower middle class.
If you don't need to support your family and live alone, you can live a decent life like ordinary people, and you can even hire another maid or entourage.
And this is only a low-level official~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If it is an intermediate-level official, that is, an official between the seventh and fourth grades, then the salary level will be greatly improved, and the annual income can be reached, and its income can be reached. Between three hundred and one thousand dollars.
As for the senior officials of the third rank and above, the salary has reached more than 1,000 yuan, but at this level, the salary is actually meaningless to them.
If the minimum wage was set based on the average salary of government employees, most companies would have to go bankrupt outright.
It seems that the salary of young and strong male manual laborers in Songjiang Prefecture is generally only between 3 and 5 yuan. At first glance, this does not seem to be low, but enterprises are now very fond of hiring female or child labor!
Because the wages of female or child workers are lower, usually only one or two yuan.
How should I put it? Datang has been developing industry and commerce for many years, and the economy has doubled. But in fact, the income of the people at the bottom has not increased much, even if it seems that the income of adult men is higher, but those factory owners would rather hire Female workers or child workers are also unwilling to hire young adults.
If women workers and child workers are also included, then the average salary of the bottom-level labor force is estimated to be about 2 yuan!
However, when Shanghai opened Hong Kong for business and the first batch of factories were established, the average income of workers at that time was more than one yuan and two yuan!
Twenty years later, it's still the same!
However, if it is purely the low income of the bottom labor force, the lack of food or something is still not the root cause of Chen Lifu's efforts to push the minimum wage standard and limit the working hours.
Chen Lifu didn't even bother to use this to convince others.
What reason did Chen Lifu use to persuade the Son of Heaven and the other ministers on duty?
It's very simple: if you don't pay them wages, who do you sell your products to?
