"Say you''re fat, you''re panting."

    Looking at Gustav''s proud face, Arthur smiled and said, "the method you came up with is very good, but it''s not the best. At least there are many places to improve."

    "Improve, how?" Gustav asked immediately, interested.

    "What you give is a fixed reward. They do more and less. They can only get ten silver coins a month. Then anyone can be lazy as long as they have a chance."

    "Don''t worry, I''m not so stupid. If they take my gold coins, they have to work for me honestly. If they dare to be lazy, they won''t get a copper coin!" Gustav said firmly.

    Arthur smiled and said, "if you send someone to supervise the work, there will be another expense. If you want them to work more willingly, you must find ways to improve their labor enthusiasm."

    "Labor enthusiasm?" Gustav looked at Arthur puzzled. This is another new word.

    "In short, labor enthusiasm is the degree to which workers give play to their subjective initiative in the process of production and labor."

    "To what extent does the production process...!"

    In such a long sentence, you''re simply saying it. Gustav was disgusted in his heart.

    Gustav''s reaction reminded Arthur of a horse''s stem.

    After laughing for a while, Arthur continued, "in short, it is the producer''s labor attitude, labor behavior and labor effect."

    "Labor attitude is the core of labor enthusiasm, which determines the occurrence, development and change of labor behavior; labor behavior is the entity of labor enthusiasm, which reflects the internal power of workers and the size of this power; labor effect is a sign to measure labor enthusiasm, such as labor efficiency, product quality, consumption and so on."

    "Do you understand my explanation?"

    In Arthur''s mind, Gustav is his most important assistant, so he explained it in great detail.

    Stunned and blinking, Gustav tried to think about it with a big head.

    As for Arthur''s explanation, he felt as if he understood a little, and as if he didn''t understand anything.

    He always felt that Arthur''s "simple saying" was not so simple.

    "How should that be improved?"

    "Very simple - spirit plus material, mainly spiritual encouragement, supplemented by material encouragement."

    "Spiritually, we should first promote the dedication of loving home, labor and people in the territory. We should recognize their contributions, commend and encourage those who have performed well, and let them have a sense of honor as workers from public opinion. We should let them know that what they have done is not only the value of those gold coins, but also building our common home Add bricks and tiles. "

    "In addition, we should respect their personality, maintain their self-esteem, and don''t let them feel that they are paid slaves."

    That''s a good idea. It''s much better than sending a supervisor!

    Arthur''s words made Gustav merchant''s blood flow quickly, and his heart was surging for a time.

    Seeing Arthur waiting for his reaction, he hurriedly asked, "I know the spirit. What about the material?"

    "Material is simple, and the principle is four words - distribution according to work."

    "You can set a basic remuneration, which should not be too high, and then give them different remuneration according to the quantity and quality of their work. More work will get more and less work will get less. That''s it."

    "Arthur, my friend, this is a wonderful way!" Gustav looked at Arthur excitedly with his arms open. "How did you think of this? You are a real... Real genius!"

    "You mean profiteers," Arthur glanced at Gustav.

    This guy, it was obviously changed at 0:00 just now.

    Gustav smiled, "I can''t hide anything from you, but I never lie in front of my friends. It''s really a genius idea."

    Arthur could only smile when praised by an honest man like Gustav.

    It feels like I was praised for copying others'' answers in the exam when I was a child.

    What he said is really a great idea in a world without factories, but if it is put on the earth, anyone who has received nine years of compulsory education can think of it.

    "Let''s talk about the reform of iron mines."

    After Gustav''s praise for more than ten minutes, Arthur decisively interrupted him and put the topic back on track.

    To tell the truth, he is not a person who likes others to praise him too much.

    That''s not good.

    "As you wish, my friend!" Gustav turned, "but this method is not suitable for iron mines. After all, they are slaves, and giving them an extra piece of bread is superfluous."

    Slaves are the most humble people in the world, or they are not human at all. They have no right to be human, but the personal belongings of slave owners.

    Most of the slaves of iron ore mountain came from Blackstone city in the west of the kingdom.

    Where, war is like the animal tide on the river. When the tidal corridor is exposed to the sea every year, the two countries break out of war in order to compete for the holy land.

    "In that case, start the reform from identity to give them the opportunity to become free people."

    "Since... Free people?!"

    Arthur''s voice was low and his tone did not fluctuate, but the content of his words was shocking enough.

    "Don''t be so surprised. Emancipating serfs and slaves was originally planned."

    "Ya... Arthur," Gustav felt his tongue knotted. "Slaves and serfs are not the same. Even if you give them freedom, they can''t dig much more ore!"

    "Gustav, you can''t be so short-sighted to reform." looking at Gustav, Arthur explained: "to liberate slaves, in addition to reforming the iron ore mountains, it is to make reserves for the future development of the territory. There are too few people on the river."

    "But... There''s no need to give them freedom, so we have to pay them... And most of the slaves in the iron mine are war criminals from the West. If you liberate them, you may get into trouble."

    He doesn''t understand the development of reserves. He just doesn''t want to give up gold coins.

    "Trouble, what trouble? According to the slave law, they are all my private property. I have the right to deal with them in any way! I think you just don''t want to give up gold coins."

    "More than 200 people, my friend..." Arthur saw through the secret in his heart, and Gustav couldn''t hang his face. "Then you say how to reform, I think it''s better to let them dig for another ten years. It''s not so easy to want freedom!"

    "Gustav, Gustav, with a mayor like you, I''m really worried about the people leading the river."

    His fat face was full of reluctance. Arthur thought this guy was cute?

    "Then you say how to reform, you can''t give them freedom in vain“

    "For slaves who have been mining for ten years, you can directly set them free, pay them a certain reward and let them continue mining. For those who have not been mining for ten years, let them dig for ten years. In the same way, you can also recruit people in your territory to work in iron mines."

    "What if they don''t want to?" Gustav looked worried. "After all, they have been slaves in the iron mine for ten years. Now you have suddenly given them freedom, so they haven''t all escaped..."

    "Escape? Where?" looking at Gustav, Arthur said slowly, "they have nowhere to escape! Only by leading them on the river can they get the treatment of free people. Once they leave here, they can only become refugees and beggars, or be caught as slaves again."

    Male * * Li had tattoos on his face to show his slave status.

    "And in ten years, most of them have been institutionalized, and only a few will leave. Gustav, you have to understand that not everyone will have a chance to get the job in the iron ore mountain in the future."
