"As we all know, the transportation was not convenient in ancient times, and it was not as developed as it is now, so the existence of post stations is particularly important. The post station was an important way to transmit military intelligence in ancient times, and it was also a place for food, lodging, and horse change on the way to and from officials. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were strict regulations on the free use of post stations by officials, and the rule of officials was very strict, so almost no officials dared to defy the law, and the life of the post households was barely passable. ”

But in the late Ming Dynasty, when there were many troubles, many officials and even family members who were not eligible to enjoy the post station at all were involved in the post station. The first is to use the free transportation of the post station, in addition to transporting their own luggage, but also to other merchants to carry supplies. According to historical records, every time an official crossed the border, there were 1 or 20 sedan chairs, 80 or 90 carrying, 20 or 300 men for the most, and 40 or 50 horses for the few. ”

Tie Lianping said leisurely: "Ancient people really enjoyed it, and one person soared, and hundreds of people came to serve him." ”

Yang Fei didn't answer and continued: "Officials who don't like to ride horses or don't know how to ride horses, most of them travel by sitting in sedan chairs. Since I didn't ride a horse, I had to collect 'horse silver' from the post station, which means that I didn't ride your horse, so you have to give me the money you saved. Occasionally, if an official rides a horse, he will collect 'horse money' from the post station, which means that I have ridden your horse, so that your horse can be used, so you must also give me filial piety silver. ”

Wei Xinyuan said: "Isn't that nonsense? If you don't give them money? They are passing officials, what else can they do?"

Yang Fei said lightly: "Once the post station does not pay this strange fee, the officials will try their best to torture the horses, either cutting off the ears of the horses, or breaking the tails of the horses, or even torturing the horses to death." ”

Everyone looked at each other, chilling at the darkness and distortion of human nature.

Zhao Wenbo asked: "Then who will bear this expense? Is it the imperial court?"

Yang Fei said: "The maintenance and operation of the post station in the Ming Dynasty were borne by the households according to the amount of grain in the field. The horses at the post station were also provided by the surrounding peasants, and the people went to the post station on errands to provide free services for the officials, which was a kind of forced labor, containing unfair and unreasonable elements, but they still had to be tortured and hurt in such a way, so they could hide and escape. Later, the post station was ten husbands and nine escapes, ten horses and nine shortages, and it could not continue to operate. ”

After the story is told, those who can understand it will naturally think twice, and those who don't understand it will also think about the meaning of the story.

Yang Fei waited for everyone to digest for two minutes, and then said slowly: "I'll make an analogy, beautiful daily chemicals, it is this post station, everyone is either the manager of the post station, or the officials in the past, and some are the surrounding people. If everyone goes their own way, then this post station can provide benefits to everyone, let the stewards have a salary, let the officials enjoy the convenience of coming and going, let the people easily complete the conscription, the benign development of the post station, the welfare will be better and better, there will be more and more horses, the ingredients will be more and more abundant, and everyone can get benefits. ”

As soon as he said this, Tielian Pingping Village cadres also understood, and nodded their heads in agreement.

Yang Fei said: "On the contrary, if everyone wants to get more benefits from the post station, you are also greedy, I will also smoke a little, it will not be long before this post station can only go out of business, the past officials are no longer received, and they cannot enjoy warm food and lodging, and the people must use other more harsh forms to complete the conscription, and the steward loses the post station, and he is unemployed." ”

"Boss, we all understand what you said. Zhao Wenbo said, "When it comes to specific things, is there anything to say?"

Yang Fei motioned for him to be calm and said, "The French philosopher Voltaire said that no snowflake feels responsible for an avalanche. In the same way, everyone in our position may be the last straw that crushes the station. ”

Wei Xinyuan took out his handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

On this cold day, although the air conditioning was turned on in the conference room, it was not hot and sweaty, he was nervous, and he was also scared out by Yang Fei's words!

He had already understood Yang Fei's fable!

Wei Xinyuan glanced at Tie Lianping, licked his chapped lips, and snorted for a long time.

After Yang Fei finished speaking, he picked up the cup in front of him, lifted the lid, blew on the steaming water, and took a sip of tea.

He didn't speak, which brought Wei Xinyuan even more pressure, and the air seemed to freeze, making people breathless.

"Boss, I'm sorry!" Wei Xinyuan mustered up all the courage to say this, and at the same time, he changed his sitting posture uneasily.

The corners of Yang Fei's mouth raised slightly: "Why do you want to say I'm sorry?"

Wei Xinyuan hummed lightly and said, "I didn't report the employee's theft to the boss in time, because what I was thinking at the time was that this was a trivial matter, and you don't have to trouble the boss." ”

Yang Fei said: "People use ideas only to cover up mistakes, and language is to cover up thoughts. So what? What are you apologizing to me for?"

Wei Xinyuan couldn't sit still, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.

Other people also heard that the boss was not telling a story, but the reality of the beautiful daily chemical factory!

Tie Lianping said loudly: "Boss Yang, this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Wei, it is all my idea." I told him to keep it down and not report it to you. ”

Yang Fei's face sank and asked, "Tiezhishu, so you want to send the post station to the point of no return?"

Tie Lianping was stunned, stared at his eyes, ahhhh I, I'm just, I'm just...... I'm sorry for you. ”

Su Changqing said roundly: "Boss Yang, the matter has already happened and has been dealt with, so don't pursue it anymore, right?" ”

Yang Fei's sharp eyes stared at Su Changqing and said, "Director Su's best thing is to be a peacemaker. Do you all think that I, Yang Fei, am very rich, I am so rich, and someone stole some things, and it can't damage my foundation, it's just a drop in the bucket, I made a big fuss about this matter, right?"

The crowd was silent.

Yang Fei said in an aggravated tone: "I have money, I don't deny it, I'm usually very generous, everyone has seen it, I can invite the whole village to eat meat for free, and I can also pay each of you a high salary! However, don't forget, that's what I'm willing to pay! It's not who will steal it, and who will rob it! The nature of the two is different!"

Everyone looked stunned.

Yang Fei said, "Tie Zhishu, Director Su, you have all experienced the era of big pot rice, is the big pot rice good? Yes, of course it is very good, because everyone has food to eat! However, why is the big pot rice not popular now? Because everyone is reaching out to eat, but no one is going to create or work!"

"Boss Yang, we were really wrong. Tie Lianping said with difficulty, "It's my fault, among those people, one of them is my mother's brother-in-law, and I have selfish intentions." ”

He finally told the truth of the matter!
