The imperial court has implemented the separation of the royal powers of the Han Dynasty since the third year of Longhan. The House of Representatives has legislative power, but the cabinet and parliament have the right to submit bills. The bills are submitted to the Senate. A special committee will conduct research and discussion hearing improvements, and finally a full vote will be held in the Senate...

If the bill is finally passed in the Senate, then the bill will eventually be submitted to the cabinet chief. The cabinet chief signs the bill and the emperor does not veto it, then the bill will have legal effect and become the law of the Han Dynasty. If both the parliament and the cabinet chief pass, but the emperor rejects it, then the bill needs to be modified. If the bill cannot be passed by the emperor after the modification, it will have to be shelved, but the bill can be reintroduced in the next time.

Under this system, the cabinet also has the right to propose bills. The cabinet chief personally proposed the Dahan Labor Bill to the Parliament, which immediately attracted great attention from the Senate.

With the emperor's trip to Tongzhou with a group of ministers and his speeches, the Prime Minister has personally proposed the Labor Bill. The Senate acted quickly and immediately formed a Labor Bill Committee to study and discuss the bill.

According to the rules and procedures of the House of Representatives, the proposal is submitted to the Senate, and there is also a standard process in which a hearing is required.

"Dear Senators of the Committee, the Labor Act stipulates that workers work normally for five days, eight hours a day, and the minimum salary for a month is four silver dollars. The extra working hours are subject to overtime, and double overtime on weekends. If they have to pay triple overtime on holidays, you are too high. If this bill is implemented, then many of our manufacturers will not be able to pay such high labor costs, and factories may not be able to open them!"

A businessman representative spoke out against the bill at the hearing.

"Yes, it's too easy to work eight hours a day. Working eight hours a day and earning four yuan at the end of a month. We small factory owners don't have to open factories, they all go to work."

In the eyes of many businessmen, this labor bill is completely aimed at merchants. This is simply suppressing business. Is the trend of the court changing? The entire bill is entirely to protect the workers, establish labor bureaus, establish trade unions, and legal provisions protect workers. Who will guarantee the rights and interests of these factory owners?

"Sir, it is worth paying for workers to work overtime, but it is too much for overtime on weekends and holidays to work overtime on weekends and holidays."

"Yeah, yeah, isn't this going to get us all closed and go home?"

A group of businessmen couldn't help but get excited.

Whether it is for profit maximization or for some businesses to be small and profitable, the release of this labor bill by the court greatly stimulated the sensitive nerves of many businessmen. The minimum monthly salary is four yuan, and the normal working forty hours a week is 4 hours. The rest of the time has to be calculated as overtime, and overtime pay is required, etc., which makes them complain.

What's more, there are many such clauses in this bill that make them sad.

For example, child labor is not allowed, female workers have to enjoy childbirth, breastfeeding paid vacations, etc., which makes them feel stomachache. In this way, those who work in the work become masters and those who are suckers.

Then the labor bureau and the trade union are more obviously coming to the factory owners.

How can I do this business in the future?

Based on this minimum salary and standard working hours, the salary they have to pay will increase a lot in the future and have to pay a large amount of overtime pay.

However, no matter how the businessmen complain, this hearing will not believe their complaints. More so, this hearing is actually a formality.

However, it is not entirely a formality. After all, many workers' representatives support this bill very much.

The Labor Bill, as the first bill after the new system, progressed rapidly in the Senate. In less than half a month, a series of procedures were completed and the entire voting began.

One hundred senators finally passed by 87 votes in favor, three votes against, and ten abstentions. According to regulations, two-thirds of the Senate voted for approval was to pass.

The bill was passed in the Senate and submitted to the Cabinet for review and signed by the Chief Secretary.

The proposal was originally proposed by the Prime Minister himself, but of course there was no reason for the cabinet to object. It was passed unanimously and finally submitted to the emperor's imperial case.

Liu Jun was very satisfied with the entire bill. Although he could not cover everything, he made clear statements about the rights and obligations of workers and employers. Some of the most critical clauses, such as the minimum wage standard, standard working hours, freedom to resign, etc., are listed one by one.

"Get the jade seal!"

Liu Jun signed the name with a red pen and stamped the national seal. This labor bill officially became a labor law and a written law that was popular all over the world.

On the same day, the Cabinet issued a document, the Cabinet established a new labor department, the provinces established a new labor department, the governments established a labor bureau, the county established a labor branch, and the trade union was established. The law was officially implemented on the date of promulgation, and employing units in various places must formulate salary standards in accordance with the new law.

The new law was implemented quickly, and some people were happy and some were sad.

Many businessmen complained a lot, while the workers were excited.

Tianjin Xiangtai Wood Industry Headquarters.

Chairman and General Manager Chen Yi received a notice from the Tianjin Labor Bureau that after returning from attending a meeting, he immediately convened the company's directors to hold a meeting.

"From June, the company has officially fully implemented the terms of the Labor Law."

A director shouted, "According to the new law, our company will have to increase by at least 20% in terms of manual labor in the future."

"I naturally know this, but this is the law of the court. Moreover, when we increase wages for workers, everyone's enthusiasm for work can also be improved. Another thing is that we can fully implement piece-based salary in the future, and we will pay according to pieces, and we will get more work."

Piece-based salary is also a new method that many businessmen now think of, a good way to bypass the minimum wage and overtime pay of labor law.

If piece-based salary is used instead of time-based salary, even if you work overtime, you don’t need to pay overtime, because more work and more income are piece-based salary. As long as the wages of the workers in the end exceed the minimum salary, it is enough.

"In the past few days, the company's finance department has been rushing to get overtime after work. Calculate the salary of workers this year. At the end of the month, all the salary before April will be paid. In the future, we will pay monthly salary, only one month's salary will be deducted. The financial manager greets the bank in advance and prepares the cash. Since we want to do it, we will strive to do our best."

Xiangtai Company now has good performance, good reputation, and good stock prices. The company holds a lot of funds and is not short of money at all. However, everyone was used to paying wages before, so they were of course no exception. Now that there is a new law, Chen Yi believes that a listed company should take the lead in doing a better job, which will also give the company a better image.

However, there are not many bosses who think like Chen Yi, and there are still many bosses, especially those of small factories, who are reluctant to raise wages, are reluctant to pay overtime, and are even unwilling to pay monthly wages, because if you pay a salary once or twice a year, the labor salary will be placed in the bank, and you can also get a lot of interest a year. If you leave it for turnover, it will also make the finances much easier.

Many people are preparing to commit crimes against the wind. The court has established your law and I open my factory, which has nothing to do with it.

Liu Jun had communicated with the cabinet for this kind of person, and had long expected such people to be expected. He also had a consensus that he would have to kill a few chickens to warn the monkeys.

This labor law is as important as the rent reduction and interest rate reduction implemented by Liu Jun at the time. The fundamental consideration is to consider the long-term consideration of the empire, reducing rent and interest rate reduction, immigration and settlement, which stabilizes the vast majority of peasants and allows them to solve the problem of food and clothing and living and working in peace and contentment. The current labor law is specifically for the consideration of the more and more working classes, and is also for the stability of the empire's foundation.

Annan, Hue.

Hue is also known as Fuchun, located in the southern part of Annan, and was the place where the Ruan tribe in the Houli Dynasty was divided.

In 428, Li Li drove away the Ming army and established the Li Dynasty. Vietnam inherited peace for a hundred years. In 1527, Mo Dengyong overthrew the Li Dynasty and established the Mo Dynasty. Vietnam began a hundred years of war.

Shortly after the Mo family usurped the country, Nguyen Gan, the general of the Li Dynasty, gathered all the anti-Mo forces, occupied the Qinghua and Yi'an areas, and established another regime, nominally "revitalizing the Li Dynasty". Later, Nguyen Gan was poisoned and the power fell into the hands of his son-in-law Zheng Jian.

The Mo family continued to rule the northern region, called the Northern Dynasties, while the Zheng family controlled the areas south of the Qinghua, called the Southern Dynasties, and the two hostile forces fell into a long-term confrontational civil war.

After Nguyen Gan's death, his son-in-law Zheng Jian took over the power within the Southern Dynasty. He conspired to deprive Nguyen's power, so he sent Nguyen Gan's son Nguyen to remote southern borders to guard Hue and also to guard Guangnan.

At that time, the Guangnan area of ​​Hue and Chameng were a sparsely populated wilderness.

But Ruan Huang had the style of being a father. He built a farm in Hue and established his own separatist forces, and eventually formed a confrontation force between the Zheng family in the Southern Dynasties.

After that, several generations of the Nguyen family continued to invade the south, devouring the land of Chameng Kingdom, conquering the British vassal state of Chameng, and established the Fu'an Prefecture in the occupied land.

At present, the Ruan family was led by Ruan Phoenix, and was already the fourth generation of the Ruan family and the grandson of Ruan Huang.

When his father Nguyen Phuc Yuan was about to establish a commercial port with the Portuguese, Feifu, which later became Hoi An. They bought cannons from the Portuguese, learned how to build European ships, and bought muskets. Feifu became an important trading port in the southwest, attracting a large number of Chinese, Japanese, Europeans and Southeast Asians to trade. The Ruan family developed sugar seeds, exported grain, etc., and did re-export trade, which developed rapidly.

The Zheng family once fought against the Ruan tribe three times in the south, and several times raised more than 100,000 troops, but in the end they were all repelled by the weaker Nguyen tribe.

After resisting Zheng's first offensive, the Nguyen tribe established two fort defense lines in Guangping Province between the two sides, which stretched several miles across the plains between mountains and seas. These castles stretched from the sea to Congshan, with a wall of more than 20 miles. The two defense lines were as solid as a solid one, among which the sunny city was more than 3,000 meters long, each with a cannon, and every three to five meters, there was a heavy cannon, and the ammunition was accumulated.

There are thousands of cannons on this defense line, and Nguyen also used Portuguese mercenaries to train a group of excellent gunners. Nguyen even owns his own casting cannons and shipbuilding workshops in Hue.

With these advanced firearms and navy, the Nguyen tribe defeated the Zheng tribe's large-scale southern expedition three times.

But now, in Hue City, the fourth-generation head of the Ruan family, Nguyen Phoenix Lan, has a gloomy face.

Not long ago, a powerful fleet of the Han army suddenly broke into the Hue area. They first intended to raid Hue, but when they saw that the Hue coastal defense turret was fierce, they retreated without success. After retreating, they did not give up, and turned around to attack Chonggang Feifu, which was less than 200 miles south of Hue.

Fei Fu is the most prosperous business port in Guangnan, so the Ruan family is also heavily guarded here, with many forts and strong fortresses. The Han army fleet tentatively attacked several rounds and was defeated again.

The Ruan tribe was still happy, but soon the Han fleet appeared on the coast again. This time, they chose the ship port between Hue and Feifu.

Da Nang is less than fifty miles away from Feifu. This is a natural good port with a navy from the Nguyen tribe. However, the defense is far inferior to Hue and Feifu. The Han army arrived and bombed the ship port with fierce naval guns for a long time, and finally landed and captured the ship port.

After the Han army fleet seized the ship port, it immediately established a defense line on the shore. The Ruan tribe sent water and land troops to compete, but was repelled several times. Until now, day by day, the Han army has built forts, forts, ports and docks in the ship port.

These Han people turned against each other and had firmly controlled Danang, even as their fleet stationed in Hong Kong.

The Nguyen tribe is now extremely troubled. The Han fleet directly captured Danang and nailed it between Nguyen tribe's base camp Hue and the most prosperous Shanggang Feifu. It was only 150 miles away from Hue, and only 50 miles away from Feifu.

This was like a sharp blade inserted into their hearts.

Da Nang has a unique terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The port is located on the left bank of the Hanjiang River, facing Da Nang Bay in the north, backed by the Five Elements Mountains, and the Camellia Peninsula in the northeast. The bay is horseshoe-shaped, and the situation is dangerous. It is a natural good harbor.

After the first few failed captures and recovery, the Han army had completely gained a foothold here. The ports, docks, forts, forts, and fortresses. The cannons and fire guns and European warships that the Ruan family once proud of were no advantage in front of the Han army in Da Nang.

The Han army even used Da Nang as its base. During this period, the fleet headed south and seized the Cam Ran Bay on the coast of Chameng Kingdom south, where it built a naval base.

Now the Han people not only occupied Da Nang but refused to leave, but even openly sent envoys to come, and actually sent a letter of surrender, demanding that the Ruan family in Guangnan accept the Han Dynasty and pay tribute.

"It's too much!"

Although Ruan Phoenix Nguyen tried his best to restrain himself, he still couldn't help but throw the surrender letter to the ground.
Chapter completed!
