Chen Mang’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears through the train’s external sound system, without any pleasantries, and no unnecessary words.
Rather than a speech, it was more a declaration.
"From today onwards."
"The Constant Star Train will undergo comprehensive reforms. From now on, there will no longer be labels of slaves, nor of thugs."
"Perhaps in the doomsday, all train captains would call you slaves, and maybe you’ve long accepted this title in your hearts, but from now on, you are not human-rights-deprived slaves under me."
"As long as you are willing to work hard, you can still realize your value in the doomsday."
"You will have the rights to marry and have children, and even start a family of three within the train."
"The Constant Star Train will not tolerate any parasitic pests with zero value, but will absolutely not disappoint anyone who contributes to the train."
Standing at the top of the carriage, Chen Mang looked at the crowd of people in front of him, paused for a moment, and continued calmly.
"You will no longer be slaves, but train residents."
"Thugs will no longer be thugs, but guards."
"Positions and treatments will be separated."
"There can be many types of positions, but only six types of treatments; each position enjoys different treatment."
"Lowest treatment, level 3 resident treatment, daily ten slices of bread, two bottles of mineral water, living in a refrigerator."
"Level 2 resident treatment, daily twenty slices of bread, four bottles of mineral water, living in the carriage."
"Level 1 resident treatment, daily food supply remains unchanged, still living in the carriage, and the number of ’Meat Buying Coupons’ obtained is determined by daily mining quantity, obtaining one ’Meat Buying Coupon’ per 10 units of resource ore, with excess quantity accumulated until tomorrow for settlement."
"Level 3 high-level talent treatment, daily food is ample, with 2 ’Meat Buying Coupons’ each day."
"Level 2 high-level talent treatment, ample food, 3 ’Meat Buying Coupons’ each day."
"Level 1 high-level talent treatment, 5 ’Meat Buying Coupons’ each day."
Chen Mang looked at the crowd, leaning on his cane with one hand, and continued.
"All residents will be promoted based on mining quantity. If there are no other special talents, the position will always be a resident, with the highest level 1 resident treatment."
"Meat-selling residents enjoy level 3 resident treatment and can obtain treatment promotions based on the number of ’Meat Buying Coupons,’ with the highest level 1 resident treatment."
Standing below the train, both Biaozi and Old Pig responded in loud and serious tones.
"You two enjoy level 1 high-level talent treatment."
"The remaining eight guards enjoy level 2 high-level talent treatment, with preparations underway to recruit 20 new guards enjoying level 3 high-level talent treatment."
"’Meat Buying Coupons’ can buy not only meat but also plenty of merchandise within the train."
"Cigarettes, snacks, food, some daily necessities, including even the option to buy a fridge with a 100-square space as a bridal room, even train orders or treatment upgrades."
"In the future, everyone who makes contributions will be rewarded with different amounts of ’Meat Buying Coupons’."
"is what I, Chen Mang, can offer you. Along with the development of the Constant Star Train, all treatments will correspondingly improve."
"The remaining details, let Old Pig explain to you."
Chen Mang didn’t linger any longer, turned around, and returned to his compartment inside the train, flopped into a chair, let out a long breath, and looked outside the window at the satisfied smiles of the slaves; this train reform system had been discussed with Old Pig these days.
This is basically a relatively good solution.
In the previous train plan, two bigger issues existed.
One was when slaves were promoted to first-level treatment, there was no upward space, so their work enthusiasm somewhat dwindled, but slaves couldn’t be allowed further upward space, as the next level is thug treatment, and slaves couldn’t possibly live in the thug carriage, right?
Including the train, the current reward method had only one, which was treatment elevation.
Different merits are not the same, and treatment cannot be elevated every time, especially if Old Pig made significant contributions in the future; how would rewards be given, and how could treatment still be promoted?
There would be no rewards to give.
For someone in a superior position, it’s a very dangerous signal to face meritorious subordinates without anything to reward.
At this time, a type of currency is needed.
The ’Meat Buying Coupon’ came into being.
Once the ’Meat Buying Coupon’ was used as currency, its meat-buying function became inconspicuous, and residents selling meat and the Constant Star Train acted as anchors, similar to how paper currency is anchored to gold and national debt.
And he no longer needed to worry about no rewards to give.
The discourse of ’Meat Buying Coupons’ was completely under his control, and although slaves could only rise to level 1 resident treatment, they can keep earning ’Meat Buying Coupons’, thereby allowing themselves to exchange for a 100-square big house, including treatment elevation.
And meat-selling residents would no longer be the same as before, instead possessing more free trading rights under the market economy.
Everyone can put different price tags on themselves based on their appearance, skills, even emotional value.
For example, this woman charges three coupons per time, while another charges five.
Under such a train system.
Production efficiency is higher than under slavery, and everyone’s work enthusiasm is higher than before.
Previously, in the slave train, all slaves were listless, completely unaware of what would happen tomorrow, only knowing to work, but after such a system emerged, everyone had goals.
