Valley Emperor

In the thirty-sixth year of Xuanping, several major events occurred in succession for the Datang Empire. The first was the explosion of the oil industry, and the petroleum product kerosene began to enter the families of the people of the empire.

Affected by the sharp surge in oil production and the empire's suppression of the oil industry, through splitting oil companies, expanding the licenses of the oil industry, and direct administrative intervention, the price of kerosene began to drop significantly.

In the thirty-fourth year of Xuanping, the price of kerosene remained at a high price of about four cents, but in the thirty-fifth year of Xuanping, it dropped to about two cents.

However, in the second half of the 36th year of Xuanping, the price of kerosene has generally dropped to less than one dime per liter. In some areas close to the oil production area, the price will be even lower after saving the expensive shipping costs. For example, in the northwest region, For example, in the eastern coastal areas, the price of kerosene has generally fallen by seven or eight cents.

The low price has allowed kerosene to really enter thousands of households, lighting up the night sky of the empire!

However, because the market has become larger and the total output has increased sharply, although the profit margins of the major oil companies have been greatly reduced, the total profit has remained at a relatively high level.

The change in the oil industry is only a small change in the many reforms of the Xuanping Empire in the thirty-six years.

The real big changes are the reform of the agricultural tax and the establishment of working hours and minimum wages.

In October, the Tang Dynasty Daily officially announced that starting from January 1 next year, the minimum wage and working hours will be officially implemented nationwide.

At the same time, a pilot project will be launched in the place at the foot of the emperor, Chengtianfu, which will be implemented in October. It will be used for two months as a foundation to learn from experience and then promote it nationwide.

The choice to be implemented in Chengtian Mansion is not only because Chengtian Mansion is at the foot of the emperor, but more importantly, there are basically no factories in this place, and the number of factories is still relatively small, so it is easier to control the implementation.

After all, it was just a pilot project. The scale of the project was too large at the beginning, and it would be difficult to save it if something went wrong.

If the scale is small, even if something goes wrong, it can be easily changed without causing too much turmoil.

These policies are closely related to ordinary people. Since the news was announced in the Tang Dynasty newspaper, it can be said that the whole country has paid attention to it.

Even Zuo Chengsheng, who was tossing a new oil refinery far away in Ningbo, was quite concerned about this.

To this end, a management meeting of the company was specially held to discuss the impact of this matter on their newly established refinery, which has not even recruited all the workers and is still under construction.

A group of management, especially the personnel department, after detailed calculations, felt that the two major policies had little or no impact on their refineries.

Because their refinery is a high-tech factory after all, aside from the management and technical backbone, even ordinary employees are all skilled employees. At least when they recruit employees, they are limited to at least graduating from elementary school.

And because of the nature of the refinery, it is impossible for them to recruit any female and child laborers.

In the entire factory, there are basically no female employees, except for a few aunts who cook and sweep the floor.

The salaries of employees in their factories are also far beyond the minimum wage standards set. The salaries of their ordinary employees can reach more than five or six yuan, and the wages of slightly more skilled employees are more than ten yuan.

There is no way, these years there is a shortage of oil refining talents, and everyone is robbing people, so the salaries offered are relatively high.

This is also the one-sidedness of the current two major welfare policies, that is, it has basically no impact on enterprises that do not use child labor and female labor on a large scale.

As for the working hours, the fourteen-hour working hours are about the same as what I didn't say. Unless it is a black-hearted boss, in fact, no one will let employees work for such a long time now.

The biggest impact is still light labor-intensive industries that use a lot of female and child labor, especially the textile industry.

At present, many textile industries use female and child labor, and this major policy is bound to have a great impact on them.

For a time, the stocks of textile-related companies on the stock exchange in Shanghai plummeted.

However, the market responded strongly, and many textile factory owners said that they could not survive and would go bankrupt, but they still failed to make the government dispel the determination to implement this policy.

What a joke, this is the policy that was finally determined after discussion at the imperial study meeting, or the policy approved by the Son of Heaven.

How can it change so easily!

The two major welfare policies are about to be implemented, and major enterprises, especially textile enterprises, are beginning to look for various ways to survive.

At first, some people shouted that since the working hours and minimum wages are limited, their textile enterprises will dismiss all female workers and child workers and replace them with male workers.

When the time comes, they will have to see how the government has dealt with the countless unemployed female workers and child workers created out of thin air~www.wuxiaspot.com~ However, when their accountants and the management of the personnel department carefully calculated, they found that all the male workers were replaced. If so, the cost will rise sharply, which is still dozens of percentage points higher than the female and child labor who limit the minimum wage and the longest market...

Therefore, the dismissal of female and child laborers is also a joke.

But it's not enough to just increase labor costs.

So what's next?

What else can be done, if the factory owner wants to maintain high profits, he can only increase the price!

As a result, textile products such as cotton yarn and cotton cloth have begun to rise in price.

This is already within the expectations of the high-level empire, and the price will increase!

The scale of the textile industry in the empire is very large. Although the consumer market is large, there are also many textile enterprises, which also means that the competition is large.

Your price has risen, and others will not raise prices, and you will be able to take away all your market in an instant!

Under this wave, the textile enterprises controlled by private capital are naturally the loudest protesters, clamoring for the dismissal of female workers, and they are the ones who raise prices.

However, in the textile industry, there are still a large number of enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises and the Royal Assets Division, especially various textile enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, which are very large in number.

Some are wholly-owned by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, some are controlled by local government finances, and some are managed by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, all of which belong to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and the scale of this part of the enterprise is very large.

In these enterprises under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, it is also important for the management to make money, but it is more important to cooperate with the government to implement various measures.

Therefore, in this turmoil, the management of all textile enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises has received direct orders from the government and must cooperate with the yamen to promote the smooth implementation of the two major welfare policies.
