Chapter 909 Northern Tour
Injury to workers is an inevitable phenomenon in the development of heavy industry. Now that various technologies are immature and experience is not rich, how can there be no accidents?
Afterwards, Wu Changqing asked Xu Aowen how many people were injured and disabled, and how many people were injured and died.
Xu Aowen is a fine person, seeing Wu Changqing's expression, he knew that he couldn't hide it.
If you insist on fooling the emperor like a fool, you will end up even worse.
So, he can only tell the truth.
"The year before last, a total of 43 people were disabled and three died. Last year, the size of the factory doubled, but the number of injuries dropped to 32, and no one died."
Xu Aowen said that he is still trying to prove that he has improved.
Moreover, the numbers he mentioned are a bit tricky. There is no standard for what is disability.
In Wu Changqing's view, even a few broken fingers are considered disabled.
But in Xu Aowen's view, only the loss of the ability to live is called disability. Being able to walk and live on your own is not considered a disability.
Wu Changqing didn't have time to verify Xu Aowen's words. If he really wanted to do this, he would have to stay in Xuzhou for several months.
This kind of matter is basically the responsibility of the Intelligence Bureau. As long as the final figures are not too far apart, Wu Changqing will not care about them.
To put it bluntly, when Wu Changqing asked about this matter, he was not here to investigate Xu Aowen, but to express an attitude and let the people below know that he cared about the health of the workers.
After releasing this attitude, those sensible people should pay attention to this aspect in the future.
If you ignore the emperor's attitude, then the emperor will have reason to punish them in the future.
In Xuzhou, Wu Changqing made an important instruction, calling for people-oriented, not to simply pursue development without ignoring the lives of workers.
For people who are injured and disabled in accidents, they must be properly handled to ensure their follow-up lives.
These speeches of Wu Changqing were praised by the ambassadors of various countries, but they were glad in their hearts.
They hope that Wu Changqing can implement more similar policies, so that Dahua's money can be invested in improving the lives of disadvantaged groups, so that the money used for development will be reduced.
And their country can use unlimited squeeze workers to overtake on corners.
Although, there are not many overtakes in this corner, but a little bit of chasing can be counted.
As for the life and death of the workers, he really doesn't care about it. He didn't care about it before, and he won't care about it in the future.
Wu Changqing's words were recorded by the Queen's reporter, and then immediately telegraphed to Nanjing and published in the newspaper.
This instruction naturally won the praise of the working class and the people at the bottom.
Although those big capitalists were a little bit dissatisfied, they didn't dare to express it, otherwise they would cause public outrage.
Of course, there are also some big businessmen who have not lost their conscience. After reading this report, they decided to slightly improve the treatment of workers.
After all, they have earned enough, and it is time to pursue a good reputation.
Just like the rich people in the past liked to build roads, bridges and schools, it was all for the pursuit of a good reputation.
Although it is still for themselves, the effect can benefit others, which is still worthy of recognition.
Improving the treatment of the workers, on the one hand, can be praised by the workers, and on the other hand, it is also responding to the emperor's call, which can be regarded as a show of loyalty.
This is not a loss for those big capitalists.
Wu Changqing is the emperor, and any word he says can play a big role.
In Xuzhou, Wu Changqing and the others visited the site of the Central Plains War and the martyrs' cemetery, remembering the martyrs, and emphasized that today's peace was bought with the blood of the soldiers.
Other foreign ambassadors do not believe such words.
According to their information, not many soldiers were killed in the Central Plains War in the Chinese Army, and all those who died were from the Qing Dynasty.
Stayed in Xuzhou for three days, then continued northward.
There are stops in important cities along the way.
Half a month later, a group of them arrived in Beijing.
Today's Beijing is not as good as it used to be.
In the past, it was the capital of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years. It was the political and cultural center, the gathering place of dignitaries and talents, and it was extremely prosperous.
But now, there are only some old and young survivors of the Ming Dynasty and some old and young survivors of the Qing Dynasty.
These people do not rebel against Dahua, but insist on not forgetting the previous dynasty. It is difficult for normal people to understand what is going on in their minds.
Anyway, these people did not pose any harm to Dahua, so the government only monitored them occasionally and did not persecute them.
Dahua still hopes that one day they will wake up, and this work has indeed achieved some results.
Over the years, people have changed one after another and returned to normal life. Of course, there are also some diehards.
Looking at the current Beijing city, some ministers such as Hong Chengchou were deeply moved.
Many of them have been officials in Beijing, and some have even lived in Beijing for longer.
Comparing the current Beijing and Nanjing, these people feel as if they have passed away a long time ago.
In fact, they left Beijing only about ten years ago, some even shorter.
The reason for this feeling is that Nanjing is developing too fast and things are changing too much.
The faster things change, the more sensitive people are to time. Obviously a short time has passed, but it feels like a long time has passed.
If life remains the same, people will compare time
slow. It's been a long time, but it feels like yesterday.
Just like people feel that life passes slowly when they are young, because children learn about the world every day, come into contact with new things, and have a lot of things to remember.
But when you grow up, you will feel that time passes quickly, because most of the adult life is the same. Go to work, eat, sleep, go to work.
There are very few things worth remembering in life, and most of the time spent is meaningless, which is not remembered by the brain, so it feels like time passes quickly.
There is nothing to inspect in Beijing. After all, Dahua has neglected this place intentionally or unintentionally, and is focusing on developing Tianjin.
The only thing that can be visited is the Ming Palace.
Originally, Wu Changqing wanted to transform this palace into a tourist attraction, but the ministers disagreed with life and death, saying that there was no need to make such a small amount of money.
The imperial palace represents the majesty of the royal family, and you can go to the emperor's house for a little money, is that okay?
The ministers feel that the emperor still needs to maintain a sense of mystery in front of ordinary people.
Because this is a trivial matter, Wu Changqing did not go to argue with the ministers.
He has always been like this, he does not give his courtiers a chance to object on major issues, but often compromises with his courtiers on small issues.
In fact, this is still very necessary, if everything is against the courtiers, it is bound to make those ministers alienate him.
In today's Ming Palace, many buildings have begun to become dilapidated, and only a small number of places used as palaces are still being repaired every year.
These places finally played a role now, Wu Changqing stayed in the Ming Palace for one night.
