The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

"Brother, your brother-in-law and I have never been workers. Is it inappropriate for you to arrange for us to be in the factory?" Liu Honglei hesitated.

Both of them were educated youths who went to support the development of Southwest China.

In the Construction Corps, they all do some farm work.

"Sister, brother-in-law, don't worry, you two will definitely be qualified." Liu Tao said with a smile: "Our factory has training, and you can only take up the job after passing the training."

"Salary mainly consists of three parts: basic salary, benefit salary, and welfare allowances. Basic salary is further divided into basic salary, seniority salary, job salary, and other wages. As long as you are trained and qualified to work, your minimum monthly income can reach 40 yuan. Liu Tao said.

Under Liu Tao's leadership, the wage system was adjusted and a 24-level wage system and an eight-level wage system were implemented. The original 24-level wage system and eight-level wage system became basic wages.

This resulted in everyone's wages actually rising substantially.

Because Panshan Machinery Factory is now responsible for its own profits and losses, even if someone knows about it and is envious and jealous, they can't say anything.

For example, Liu Tao's administrative-level salary is 159 yuan, but the monthly salary paid to him has not been less than 500 yuan in the past few months.

"So high? Can an apprentice earn such a high salary?" Chen Weimin was shocked. You must know that their two salaries combined are only 60 yuan per month.

If Liu Honglei's mother's family hadn't provided financial aid from time to time, their family's life would have been much harder.

"Our Panshan Machinery Factory is a pilot factory and is responsible for its own profits and losses. At the end of last year, in order to stimulate workers' enthusiasm, we added bonuses. This year we have adjusted the salary system and used a more complete salary system to stimulate workers' enthusiasm for production." Liu Tao explained. one time.

The new salary system will be implemented in June.

As a result, everyone's income has increased significantly. As long as you work hard and seriously, it is normal for your income to double than before.

This also mobilized everyone's enthusiasm for production and unleashed strong production capacity.

To be honest, in Liu Tao's view, the current salary system is actually very low.

But the workers are already very satisfied with their current wages and are grateful to Liu Tao.

"And our factory is in the process of allocating houses. As long as you perform well and work hard, you may be allocated a house. When you come, you should see houses after houses, each of which is 120 square meters." Liu Tao said.

Liu Honglei's eyes were full of disbelief, "Is your unit still dividing rooms?"

Housing allocation by work units is not uncommon across the country, but it is common in cities.

It is estimated that there is no factory in such a remote mountainous area in the country that distributes housing.

They were building a corps, and they lived in dormitories, and the conditions were very average.

"And it's a big house of 120 square meters!" Chen Weimin also exclaimed.

The dormitory they lived in before was only 26 square meters in size.

"If you are an eighth-level worker with extremely skilled skills, it is not impossible to be assigned a villa like this!" Liu Tao said with a smile: "Not long ago, an eighth-level worker in the factory was assigned a villa. !”

"In a few days, the factory will conduct the second batch of housing allocations. You will know then!" Liu Tao knew that no matter how much he talked about this matter, it would be useless. Seeing is believing.

After chatting for a while, Liu Tao and Liu Honglei went to the kitchen to cook. The two siblings chatted while cooking. Liu Tao kept asking Liu Honglei about his experience over the years, and Liu Honglei also asked Liu Tao about his experience over the years and the situation at home.

Before I knew it, the meal was already cooked.

Liu Tao specially took out a bottle of Moutai he bought in Kunming City. When he returned to Panshan Machinery Factory from Kunming City, he bought 7 bottles of Moutai, which he usually would not bear to drink.

Now that my sister and her family are here, Liu Tao is naturally willing to take it out.

"Maotai? This wine is very expensive. I heard that a bottle costs 7 yuan." Chen Weimin's eyes lit up.

"Well, it's Moutai. A bottle costs 7 yuan!" Liu Tao smiled and nodded. In the era of planned economy, the national price of this wine was 7 to 8 yuan. The price varied slightly in different regions, but the price difference was not the same. It will be more than 1 yuan.

Of course, many times you can't buy it with money, you have to use the corresponding drink tickets.

This era is also the era of tickets, and tickets are even more useful than RMB in many cases.

Liu Tao poured a glass each for his sister and brother-in-law.

The strong aroma of wine filled the air.

"Good wine! It is indeed the national wine!" Chen Weimin took a sip and couldn't help but admire it.

Liu Honglei also took a sip.

The three children have already started eating.

Liu Honglei not only feeds herself, but also feeds her young son.

The family chatted while eating. After Liu Tao and Chen Weimin had a drink or two each, the strangeness disappeared.

Chen Weimin is three years older than Liu Honglei and became an educated youth after graduating from high school.

Before the college entrance examination was resumed, Chen Weimin also took the college entrance examination. Unfortunately, it was neglected for more than ten years and the conditions were limited. After hurriedly preparing, he did not pass the exam.

You know, the college entrance examination door that had been closed for more than ten years was opened again. 5.7 million people from different origins and ages rushed into the examination room. In the end, 273,000 people were admitted, and the college entrance examination admission rate was only 4.74%!

4.74% is not for undergraduates, but for all undergraduates and junior colleges!

The full score of the college entrance examination is 400 points, with 100 points each for Chinese, mathematics, and politics, and 100 points for physics and chemistry (science, geography and history for liberal arts). In many places, only 200 points are needed to reach the admission line, and 240 points are often enough to enter undergraduate studies.

But at that time, too many people had not read books for a long time.

So much so that most of them failed to pass the exam in a hurry.

Liu Tao rarely worked overtime at night. He accompanied his sister's family and introduced the situation of Panshan Machinery Factory to them.

At the same time, Liu Tao was also considering their arrangements.

My brother-in-law Chen Weimin has a high school degree, which is considered a high degree in this era and a talent.

Maybe he has forgotten a lot over the years, but after all, he has a foundation. If he is well trained, he can take the technical route. It just so happens that rifle grenades, sniper grenade rifles, and anti-aircraft machine guns will be produced next. He can go to the technical department to get familiar with them first and then go to these three workshops as a technical worker. It is not impossible for him to become the director of the production workshop in the future.

My sister has children to take care of, and she only has a junior high school degree, so she is suitable for office work and is relatively easy.

The next day, Liu Tao personally took the two to the personnel department to handle the entry procedures, and then arranged for them to receive training.

As for the three children, the older one was arranged to go to elementary school, and the two younger ones were arranged to go to kindergarten.

After the arrangements were made, Liu Tao did not care about them anymore. He had already arranged the work, and how far they could go depended on themselves.

Liu Tao began to be busy with the design drawings of the new anti-aircraft machine gun. Now he had to do all the drawings himself, and the technical staff of the technical department did not have the skills yet, and at most they could just trace the drawings.

As for drawing, Liu Tao was also very skilled, and he could draw more than ten drawings a day, unlike before when he was not familiar with it and was exhausted after drawing three or four drawings a day.
