But it was a pity that even after Li Ke made such a decision, the workers and residents still didn't have much of a reaction. But this was normal because they still didn't benefit from it. Li Ke still couldn't guarantee that they would get what he said.
But it didn't matter. As long as they produced a batch of goods in a month, Li Ke could make these workers sincerely fall in love with the regime he led.
After he finished his speech, nearly one-fifth of the people who listened to his speech quietly disappeared. They went to report what they had seen and heard here to the people of all walks of life in the two cities.
Some of these people were gang members, some were idlers, and some were secret agents. These people would quickly inform everyone in the two cities of his decision and plan, letting them understand what the ruler wanted to do.
However, Mr. Hank was very excited about Li Ke's decision. When Li Ke sat in the carriage, he almost couldn't hold back his angry and threatening expression, but he still forced himself to show a humble appearance.
"Sir, you really can't do this! I don't mean to oppose your speech on the value of labor, but this factory was built with a gentleman's wealth. If we forcibly expropriate a gentleman's wealth, how is this different from robbers?! "
Bernard on the side also had an aggrieved look, which made Li Ke feel that it was interesting.
"Did I say I'm going to forcibly expropriate? Hank, this is just a punishment. As long as their factory is willing to correct and follow my rules, then I won't touch their factory and let them safely continue to do business. "
Businessmen can't be beaten to death, this is a fact without a doubt. Even in our country, which rejects business the most, the shadow of businessmen can be seen in various industries.
From small things like waiting in line for cars, games and entertainment, to large things like domestic and foreign international trade, as well as the needs of the market, the shadow of businessmen will never be lacking. Before human society evolved to a certain extent, businessmen were indispensable because they would be very good porters, allowing wealth to circulate.
We just don't need big businessmen, big enough to influence policy and officials. Although it would be convenient for big merchants to manage it, in fact, there was no need for big merchants and big groups.
The regime will take over.
But not now, not in this era. In this era, even morality was still in a semi-feudal and semi-slave society. It would be a fool's dream to completely abandon capitalism.
Technology was not enough, the average quality was not enough, the basic construction was not enough, and the collective consciousness was not enough.
Unless you can control the entire world and imprint people with your thoughts.
On the contrary, the path of society was very suitable for the current world. Not only did they have Li Ke, the steering wheel that could live for a long time, but they also did not have a country that was constantly causing trouble.
"Also, for those who really don't want to cooperate with me, if they want to leave while I'm in power, I will welcome them and purchase their businesses."
Li Ke sighed slightly. If he had a person who had experienced countless hardships but still wanted to revive his country, he didn't need many. He only needed about 2,000 people to turn the world upside down. But he didn't.
So he still had to compromise a little. Some people who should be hanged directly were driven out of the city, and let them transform and harm other underdeveloped areas, and then wait for Li Ke's forces to expand.
This was also something that couldn't be helped, because these people in this world represented 'advanced' productivity and advanced civilization. Rather than killing them, it was really better to let them teach these indigenous people some 'modern' civilization, which was not enough in the Middle Ages, so that he could save some effort in the future.
After all, capitalists were very capable in training qualified workers.
And with him around, they wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous.
"But in this way, our city will collapse! Sir! Although the people who make up this city are the workers and civilians, the ones who really give this city its name and vitality are the businessmen! If you forcibly confiscate and buy their assets, countless gentlemen and noblewomen will no longer trust us, and there will be chaos! "
Li Ke's action was no different from robbery in his view. A gentleman just followed the established rules and caused his assets to disappear. This undoubtedly broke the tacit understanding and interests of countless people.
Moreover, this also meant that if the workers were not satisfied with their wages, they would find a way to find Li Ke, and then let Li Ke announce that the owner of the factory was them.
However, Li Ke's answer was still an answer that made Hank sigh endlessly.
"Then die, Hank. They are not willing to obey or leave, and they are not willing to die. This is really difficult. "
Hank swore that if the person in front of him wasn't the source of his power, then he would use his calfskin shoes to mercilessly kick this guy's face. Although he could no longer raise his leg so high, and it didn't suit his identity as a gentleman, he would definitely do so.
"Yes, sir. I will tell them that, and my factory will also implement an eight-hour work day, five days a week under your guidance. Also, I will ensure that their wages will be the original monthly amount, and if they are required to work overtime, their hourly wages will be doubled. "
He took a deep breath and told him the things that Li Ke occasionally wrote on the paper. After all, this kind of thing wasn't too much for him. Although a lot of his wealth came from his own factory, power and favor were more important.
"You are a really cute guy, Hank. But there are some things that you forgot to say, so use the list I wrote this morning to write an official document. Also, find a few historians and related experts to see me. We need to discuss the issue of legal holidays. "
What! Forget about double holidays! You want holidays?!
This time, even Hank couldn't help but take another deep breath, but in the end, he smiled and nodded enthusiastically.
"Understood, sir. I think you will also need the help of some economists and legal experts."
He immediately ordered his entourage to send reliable people to protect Mrs. Sarah. And he tried his best to calm his heart because he was very clear about one thing.
In the next period of time, he, Sarah, and to be exact, everyone around Li Ke would be assassinated.
