Macau is very close to Guangzhou, less than 200 miles in a straight line. Even if it was going up the river, after Zong Ben set off the day before, he took people to the dock of the new district by boat the next day.

At this point, everything is easy to do. Zongben and his subordinates swaggered and carried a few boxes full of silver coins, and without worrying about safety, they hired a carriage on the spot and set off.

What the traverser has brought to the world is not only iron guns and cannons, but also many concepts of public management.

The wharf in the new district is now bustling and unusually crowded. It has attracted countless Ming people from the surrounding areas of Guangzhou, and even the whole province of Guangdong and Fujian to come to beg for a living. However, even with the crowd gathering on this scale, the order of the place is orderly, and everyone has a gentle smile on their faces, which has reached the level of fantasy that is not left behind.

To tell the truth, the security of the wharf in the new area is much better than that of the Guangzhou Railway Station in later generations.

The reason is simple: cost. In later generations, the police uncle caught a thief who stole a mobile phone, not to mention how many police forces need to be dispatched, even if he is caught, he will generally be sentenced to a few months and a year...... This still has to be scratched on the spot, and then go through a series of cumbersome procedures, in other words, it will consume far more judicial resources than mobile phones.

In fact, in many cases, due to the relatively high cost of justice, many petty thieves will not be imprisoned at all: reporting the case also requires a good amount, even in poor areas, it is necessary to steal enough 1,000 yuan to be qualified to enter the police station.

This situation has led to the criminals repeatedly refusing to change - don't say go in, even if you go in, you will come out, Lao Tzu is still a good man, and if you don't get it, you can also point the car stealing skill points in it, and upgrade to a professional with technical content.

Of course, these chronic diseases of public management in later generations do not exist here.

steal a piece of money and go to the construction site of the new district for half a year; stealing ten dollars, Yizhou Reservoir construction site to support construction; Steal a tael of silver...... This is going to Taipei to see the rain.

There is no need for cumbersome procedures for the above, only the "public gate" of the new district wearing blue security uniforms will sneak the thief to the dock police station, and the director will record and fill in the form, and then stamp it, and the thief can board the passenger ship without the old ticket.

Therefore, from the moment the new district was established, the security was at the MAX level. The Ming people may not have been in the habit of obeying the order before, but when all the thieves, thieves, liars, and people who put money on the dock to get a ticket, as well as beggars, bullies, idlers, and other "social idlers" were all "dealt with" as soon as possible, all the Ming people became gentle and courteous overnight.

With a good social order, even if it is partial, it is enough to make most ordinary people who really come to beg for a living feel safe. With a sense of security, people will have a sense of belonging, and they will spend their energy and property on how to produce and improve their lives. In this way, step by step, the prototype of a modern society with an efficient division of labor appeared.

..................

Zong Ben and his entourage, together with the silver, hired three donkey carts that were specially used to pull goods at the wharf, and along the motorway of the new district avenue, they came to the door of the Nanyang Development Corporation smoothly.

It is said that since it is going to the South Seas, then according to the tradition of this era, it is natural to form a company in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and the crossing is no exception. Guy This involves the issue of the implementation body: the government cannot directly intervene to operate and develop a certain project, otherwise, who will own the plantation in the future, the Minister of Agriculture?

Therefore, there is the main body of Nanyang Development Corporation.

The general manager of Nanyang Development Corporation is Tang Xiaoqiao, who took office in a hurry a few days ago.

In the past, the position of general manager of Nanyang, due to his high position and power, coupled with some romantic and exotic legends that he liked, so under the current general trend of everyone having an official, there was actually a little competition.

In the end, after a lot of delay, Tang Xiaoqiao, who was only 27 years old, was able to overcome the others.

Tang Xiaoqiao worked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He had previously served as a negotiator on a Dutch trading ship, and then used a headset to direct an Italian cannon to blast one of the Dutch sailing ships to the bottom of the sea.

Considering that going to Nanyang needed to deal with many foreign forces, including the Spaniards and the Dutch, it was Tang Xiaoqiao who won in the end. Not to mention that knowledge changes fate, this gentleman's proficiency in three foreign languages is the biggest plus.

Due to a little integrity problem, the location of the newly opened Nanyang head office is very conspicuous, next to the two-story building of the new district government's "Hui" shape, which is also a hui-shaped building, and the small building encloses a vacant space in the middle.

When Tang Xiaoqiao, who was in the office, got a report from the doorman that someone had sent 100,000 taels of gold, to tell the truth, Tang Xiaoqiao was still a little surprised. So he immediately hurriedly greeted his subordinates from the building - Zong Ben was the first Ming person to bring cash to buy shares after the China Merchants Association.

You must know that it has only been three or four days since the China Merchants Association. According to the normal rhythm of the seventeenth century, at this time, some of the participants in remote areas had not yet arrived at home, let alone mobilized such a large sum of silver.

Even if it is the dictator of the family, with such a large investment, and huge "policy" risks, let alone a wise person, even a modern person, he will always have to think about wait-and-see, discuss and deliberate again before making a decision.

Therefore, according to Tang Xiaoqiao and Ding Liqiu's estimates, it will not be until ten days and half a month after the meeting that the shareholding will slowly start.

Who would have thought that Zongben, a small businessman who was originally inconspicuous at the meeting, would appear in front of the door with a cash box.

Tang Xiaoqiao went downstairs and got a brief information about Zongben from the subordinates on the spot. Of course, this does not affect his performance in the next moment. As soon as he stepped out of the building, General Manager Tang laughed and stretched out his arms: "Hahaha, boss of Macau Zong, you are the best guy!" Welcome, welcome! ”

When Zongben saw Tang Xiaoqiao wearing a "weird underwear", he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Yes, even in the eyes of the Ming people who have silently accepted the new dress, Mr. Tang's outfit can be regarded as weird: orange Korean slim shirt, pink plaid tie, bean green trousers, black and white leather shoes...... This kind of clothing color matching that ordinary people dare not wear in later generations, coupled with the outlined muscle lines, is not used to a Ming person.

However, Zongben didn't dare to underestimate this parrot-like young descendant wearing "close-fitting clothes".

When he opened the China Merchants Association before, because he had just taken office for two days, Tang Xiaoqiao did not stand out too much. However, no matter how he said it, he was also the boss of the Nanyang head office, and he still said a few words at the end of the meeting. Then with this speech, many people in the audience understood: This is the current manager!?

So after seeing Mr. Tang personally greet him today, Zong Ben was suddenly excited. Although he hasn't figured out the situation yet, after hearing the word "top prize", he probably understood.

In addition to being overjoyed, Zong Ben hurriedly took a few steps forward, stretched out his arms a little awkwardly, shook hands with each other while learning the other party's movements, and smiled all over his face: "There is Lao Tang......, well, the general manager is far away, Zong is flattered, ashamed, ashamed!" ”
