Chapter 183 Salary System

Two people went to the bottom, selected a red coral, very difficult to wield axes to cut.

"Brother Lu Fei, they will be all right, this has been two minutes." Zhang Yutong worry said.

"It should be all right." They must have known that they had gone to the sea to pick coral.

After another two minutes, a jumble of things spread out so that we couldn't see them at all.

"Will they be all right?" I asked the other natives.

They all smiled and shook their heads, if it is not, soon two people will carry coral out of the sea, out of the water, we quickly put the coral over, full of fifty or sixty pounds.

The two men leaned over the edge of the boat, wiping water from their faces, gasping for breath, their faces as white as white paper.

When they had pulled them up, both men recovered a little and, without sitting down to rest, smiled and handed the axe back to me. On examination, there were no teeth marks. Coral is a hard thing, but the axe remained unscathed, which made me all the more amazed at my own axe. Except once, when it was acquired, it was never taken care of again, but it remained as bright as new, neither rusted nor damaged in the slightest.

It's hard to know what kind of metal the person who made this axe put in it to make it so indestructible.

But NOW I had no time to study this. After arranging for two aborigines to rest in the cabin, I began to observe the coral they had brought up. It was dark red in color and had many branches, like a tree without branches or leaves. The top of the coral is white, like a bud that has just grown.

"What's that up there?" Zhang Yutong got very close.

"Polyps." I said: "put two days will die, back to the skin on the beautiful."

As the freshly picked coral was not very beautiful, everyone soon lost their interest in seeing it. He put it in the corner of the cabin.

After the two aborigines had rested, I asked them if coral was precious to the larger tribe.

The man who asked for my axe shook his head and said, "There's plenty of coral. It's not precious at all."

"And what is most precious?"

"For our kingdom it is gold, but in some kingdoms copper is precious."

Zhang Yutong very puzzled toward I asked: "Brother Lu Fei, why our modern civilization is so developed, gold and coral are very precious, as long as they have some, they feel not precious?"

"Don't you understand that?" I explained, "Small tribes, small kingdoms, have very low material and spiritual needs, and some of them are naturally not valued, except for food. Because they don't need it, and they don't bring any more value. Now that civilization covers so much land and there are so many people, gold and coral are scarce. Of course they are precious."

"Oh, I see."

We picked up speed after the ship had passed the reef.

When I got up the next day, I found that the color was darker and redder. I could see some small lines on it, and the surface seemed to have a layer of protective wax.

I tried to scrape a piece with my dagger, and when I removed the surface, I found that the inside was very smooth and round, with a touch of carving, and very beautiful. They basically treated the whole coral. After leaving a pile of ash on the ground, the face of the whole tree finally revealed, as carved out of the general, much more bright than the original.

To better protect the coral tree, I moved it to a wooden box inside.

Back on the island of Cucu, it took more than a hundred of us half a day to get all the things we had brought back to the tribe.

After hiding the gold in the basement, I put the coral in my living room. No matter how pretty it looks, it's only decorative.

After two days of rest, I took my hoe and took two women to the fields. Only a little more than a month, planted vegetables have grown a big chunk. Vegetables, peppers, tomatoes in a dozen varieties.

"Brother Lu Fei, will we all have to farm the land ourselves?" Zhang Yutong side of the loose soil, while unhappy toward me.

"Or what?" I said, "Self-sufficiency... Of course, if you have the money, you can hire someone to do the work for you, that's all right."

"But I have no money, and you won't give it to me." Zhang Yutong was depressed.

It made me realize that the decision to implement a wage system couldn't be put off any longer. If we don't have wages, we don't have money at all. Although I am at the top of the pyramid, I can manage and own a lot of wealth, but if I am free to control over time, there will be problems, and people below will become more and more angry. It would be very detrimental to my rule.

"You two finish this field. I have some business to attend to." I stood up and clapped my hands.

The two women immediately followed suit.

"Farming is a man's job, and when you quit, so will we."

"Yes, I do the cooking."

Two people at a time, that makes sense. Facts show that it is obviously unrealistic to expect the island of Bukgu to become a harmonious society completely free of oppression.

"Let's go back together." Both of them had grown up in the city, and it was natural that they could not endure the hardships of farming.

Back at home, I found a few bamboo, when cutting bamboo, let them two to call Li Ding they come over.

When I got here, I wasn't done.

"Fly elder brother, what do you want to do again?" Li Ding took out her dagger and helped me cut it.

I continued to work: "I have called you here today to discuss with you how to arrange the salary."

"You finally figured out how to get down to business." Li Ding rejoiced: "Do you have a plan in mind? Like me this level, is also a senior cadre, to my treatment can not be low."

After cutting the bamboo, I wipe off the fine foam. He took out his dagger and looked up at them. "My plan is that we all implement a wage system, so that there will be no moth class."

"I agree." Cui Bin nodded.

"You quickly say how to calculate salary." Li Ding urged eagerly.

"At present, our market economy has just started, we need to customize prices." Uncertain prices, the wage system is not easy to formulate.

"Should prices be set by the market, or should we not intervene too artificially, then it may become inflation or the wrong policy to exploit the bottom group too much." Lu Qian said.

I listened better to Lucie because she knew a lot and had a good head on her shoulders. I asked him in reply, "How about salary?"

"Wages are set, and people's incomes and prices will be regulated by themselves. You don't have to worry too much." Lucie continued to help me analyze. "And it can be regulated in the back."

"That's all right." I think it makes sense. But with few people in charge and no income for the rest of the tribe, life would be chaotic and stuck in an era of barter, far removed from the original purpose and purpose of my invention of money. This is clearly unacceptable.

I suggested that Li Ding and Cui Bin gather all the clansmen and gather them on the square. On the basis of the well-shaped streets, the tribes were divided into twelve groups, each of which appointed a leader, who was chosen by the reorganized men themselves. They're the most basic management in the tribe.

With this set of grass-roots management, tribal management will be more convenient. When something comes up, just call a meeting of a few people and let them pass it on. At the same time, more people can directly obtain financial benefits.

People without jobs can also get money in the form of maids. In this way, money could circulate in the tribe. Then by trading with the various tribes and kingdoms of that island, money would flow and function more, our economy would grow faster and better, and indirectly new things would be born. Accelerate the progress of civilization.

When they had gone, Lucie and I discussed it at length.

"That my monthly salary is certainly the highest, every month is set as 500 yuan." Feels like it should be enough to cover expenses.

"No problem." Luci plucked her hair from her ears and nodded, "Cui Bin, Li Ding and we all have tasks in charge, so you can give us 300."
