Live streaming life: The ancients begged not to stop

After resting for two or three days, it was finally Qi Cheng's turn to go to work. He got up yawning in the morning, washed his face, ate, and prepared his work clothes.

The audience on the sky screen looked at Qi Cheng and shook their heads silently. It was so late and he was still so sleepy. They should have been hoeing the fields by now.

Seeing Qi Cheng eat a few pieces of snacks, everyone was very greedy. They had been working in the fields and had not eaten much.

After arriving at the company, Qi Cheng mingle among the crowd. He hadn't come to work for a few days and needed to find out if there was any big news.

"You wouldn't know if you weren't here, but our company is going to lay off some employees," a colleague whispered. "The higher-ups are already discussing the selection process."

Qi Cheng quickly asked if there was any concrete news. He really hoped that he would be laid off and compensated with tens of thousands of dollars. It would be much better than doing what he was doing now.

"You have no chance. You've been working here for so long, you'll have to pay tens of thousands of dollars. Our company will only pay 10,000 at most, and that's only possible if you've been here for less than two years."

Qi Cheng sighed. He thought he would have to resign in a few days. He couldn't stay here half-dead like this.

The audience in front of the sky curtain were a little puzzled. Why did these people want to be laid off so much? How would they live after being laid off? There didn't seem to be much farmland in this place.

"It's better to farm at home." An old farmer smoked his pipe. "The little Suozi from our village was also an apprentice outside, but he still had to come back in the end."

"Yes, yes, maybe those people on the sky screen also want to go home and farm quickly."

"Bullshit! How could I possibly go back to farming? Didn't I hear that people who get laid off get tens of thousands of dollars in compensation? With that money, I'm sure they can hold on until they find a new job."

The person who was cursing was Xiaosuozi's mother. Her son was often teased by people in the village after he came back from the city.

Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin was also a little puzzled. Logically speaking, losing a job should be very sad, but why were these people all looking forward to leaving, and they could get money if they were fired?

Should the Tang Dynasty implement this method?

Now in the Tang Dynasty, the emphasis was still on the relationship between master and apprentice being like that between father and son. Apprentices who came were either beaten or scolded, and if the apprentices could no longer hold on, they would be ignored.

In the past few years, it was good enough to be able to stutter properly, and don’t even think about money.

"My dear ministers, what do you think of the Tang Dynasty implementing this strategy?"

Wei Zheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there are many jobs in the future, and most people in them are not troubled by work, but it is different in the Tang Dynasty now."

Li Shimin nodded, and at the same time thought to himself that it would be great if life could be like later generations, with factories everywhere and no need to rely on the weather for food.

"How about implementing it in the court?"

Nowadays, most officials retire when they are no longer able to do their job, but Tianmu says that in the future, there will be a fixed age limit and officials must retire after a certain number of years.

"This...this should be discussed with everyone."

……

Ming Dynasty

Zhu Di had just returned from the grassland. He looked at the future generations on the sky and wondered whether he should also implement this compensation system, although most of the people in the Ming Dynasty were still farmers.

But there are also many looms in the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas.

Moreover, the current system of the Ming Dynasty is not very suitable. Once you are registered as a craftsman, you cannot quit, and your descendants will definitely be craftsmen.

Is this system too rigid?

"What do you think of implementing this system from later generations?" Zhu Di asked the crown prince. "Perhaps this way, the output of craftsmen will increase a bit."

Zhu Gaochi also thought about this, but not only were the craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty fixed, the military had military registration, the people had civilian registration, and doctors and others also had their own registration.

If you want to change it, you have to change everything.

That would be a major change for the entire society. We need to consider it very carefully and consult with the ministers below. We can't just do it blindly.

Wouldn’t that make him Emperor Yang of Sui?

"Let's take a long-term view."

Qing Dynasty

Qianlong was extremely disdainful of Qi Cheng's behavior. He thought, "There are statues of Confucius in later generations, but how come they don't know what loyalty means?" If the company fails, he leaves. So, if the court fails, should he also leave?

"Have Heshen write an article to criticize him thoroughly, and absolutely do not allow the people below to learn from him." Qianlong immediately issued an order, "Anyone who dares to discuss this will be beheaded in public."

……

Qi Cheng and his colleagues sat for five or six minutes before it was time to go to work. Their company was a huge warehouse, and their job was to load and unload parts in this warehouse.

Because his leader was strolling around, Qi Cheng had to finish his work quickly.

Let the layoffs take their course.

Most people in all dynasties did not understand Qi Cheng's work and just went about their own business. Only the Mohists were interested in these things.

These things look like mechanical devices.

Not sure what it will be assembled into.

At noon, Qi Cheng followed everyone to the cafeteria. Today was still bean sprouts, cabbage and fried meat, no surprises at all.

"This company is really amazing! They're still eating cabbage in this weather! Cabbage these days isn't tasty at all." A colleague complained, "Our company is going downhill. It looks like the end of the Qing Dynasty."

"Heaven is angry and people are resentful."

"This crap is getting more and more unpalatable."

The audience under the skylight were a little puzzled. How nice it would be to have white rice and meat. They couldn't even eat such good food during the Chinese New Year. People in later generations were too picky.

A little girl of five or six years old touched her stomach and saw so many dishes thrown away, her mouth watering with greed.

"Mom, the food on the canopy is so good, why don't they like to eat it?"

"When people get anxious, they get angry, and when they get angry, they get pricked. Besides, these meals are not rare in the future, so they can be thrown away."

This time, Emperor Qianlong not only threw away the cup in his hand, but also the porcelain vase on the table. It’s okay for this broken company to go bankrupt, why compare it with the Qing Dynasty?

The Qing Dynasty was the Celestial Empire, and not everyone could get involved with it.

……

Qi Cheng rested for more than ten minutes and started his afternoon work again. The temperature was really high today. He had been busy for more than an hour in the afternoon and was sweating profusely.

"Xiao Qi, come over here and eat some watermelon." A colleague called out loudly, "Be careful, don't get a heat stroke."

"Uh-huh."

After eating a few pieces of watermelon and chatting with his colleagues for a while, Qi Cheng continued his work listlessly. He had already saved five or six hundred yuan from live streaming in the past few days.

He silently calculated how much he could earn in a month, thinking about quitting his job and concentrating on live streaming.

"System, can you give me a little more?"

"Host, you are live streaming your life, not your travels."
