Chapter 113 How much can Shanxi miners earn?

The Shanxi coal boss is so rich that he has sores and pus. In most people's minds, the income of coal miners in Shanxi is naturally "the first to get the moon". This is the outside world's "reasonable inference" about Shanxi coal miners. Indeed, compared with these Shanxi coal bosses who are "predatory on their wealth and bullying the sky", Shanxi coal miners have been "stained with meat and fish" on the coal bosses for a long time, so naturally they should also live a prosperous life. However, the results of our survey are surprising. Coal miners are still struggling to make ends meet.

The following is the "salary table" of a certain coal miner's position at the beginning of the liberalization of the coal market in Shanxi in the 1980s: 1. Production area under the pit 2.5 yuan/class for Tui Slope Pull rope 2.5 yuan/class Safety worker 4 yuan/class Pumping 4 yuan/class Excavator 3 yuan/ton Pulling 3 yuan / ton 2.5 yuan/class for roadway repair 2.5 yuan/class for winch under the pit Electrician 4 yuan/class 2. Ground production area 2.5 yuan/class for winches on the pit 2.5 yuan/class for pushing mine carts on the pit 3. Coal reprocessing area (coking team)

Pulverized coal group 4 yuan/shift Transportation group 3 yuan/class Anlu master chef 5 yuan/class 3 yuan/shift for furnace loading 3 yuan/class for baked charcoal 3 yuan/class for loading 4. Auxiliary service area 25 yuan/day for burning bath water 2 yuan/day for the dry kitchen of the miner's stove (including food and lodging) 4 yuan/class for work recording 50 yuan/month for selling charcoal (this is a fat job, usually held by the boss’ cronies, although the salary is low, but there is a great opportunity to secretly collect money for coal sales) 2.5 yuan/day for tire repair

We can also list the local reference price compared with this income: the salary of a local middle school teacher is 430 yuan per month.The price of pork in the farmer's market is 3.6 yuan per catty. Judging from the above figures, the local miners are still struggling on the poverty line. Of course, with the gradual opening of the domestic coal market, the wages of miners will also rise, the production methods will gradually improve, and productivity will increase.For example, the coal workers in the pit were pushed forward by manual brute force, and replaced by cattle, mules, horses and other animals. Generally, the "wage" of an animal for a shift is 20 yuan.

Of course, the production methods of coal diggers are also "advancing with the times". Cannon", "Heaven and Earth Cannon", "Duanshan Cannon" and "Tongtian Cannon" are used "handily". It turned out that in the last shift, the coal diggers had to swing picks and dig from the beginning to the end. Now it is "one shot determines one shift", and "one shift fires one shot". Overall, one coal digger shift Come down, you can also earn more than 100 yuan.
