Du Nuhao arched his hand! "Hehe, it turned out that Mi Zhang, whose surname was Huaizhen Marriage Bai Yi, seems to be born to be a material for the grain business."

Mi 12 said: "Hehe, thank you for the compliment, this really makes the eldest master right" The ancestor is the one who opened the rice line.

"The shopkeeper of Mi has subscribed so many shares at once, and it is really generous to do business."

"Not really. In fact, the reason why my Mi family has been able to do business for several generations depends on one. Steady word. The reason why today is to invest all its shares, one is to trust the big man, from what you said before, the small believe, your change must really benefit our people. If you see it, you have to make a big bet, which is also one of the tricks of our Mi family's business. Second, let's go. As the previous one said, if it weren't for the eldest lord, you led the troops to exterminate the army, our Mi family would be finished. Knowing the grace of the picture, the grace of dripping water. It is still a spring to reciprocate, not to mention the grace of saving lives, since it should be repaid with all its might, this is also the home scraping of our Mi family. Unlike some people, who say it beautifully, do it, hehe, those who are afraid of shooting wolves and tigers are not the behavior of men! ”

Mi 12 said. The old grain merchant had a little on his face and smiled dryly.

Du Wenhao said: "Shopkeeper Mi, please sit, is there anyone else willing to buy shares?" If you want to change the previous shares, you can also change them, and you can also modify them or withdraw them before they are finally included in the shareholder register. ”

Another grain merchant stood up: "The rice shopkeeper is right, I don't have as much financial resources as the rice shopkeeper, so let's accept eighty shares." ”

"I recognize a hundred shares".

When the old grain merchant heard that everyone recognized so many shares, it was too embarrassing for him to recognize ten shares, and there were several people who subscribed to shares, and everyone shared the risk, so he was also bold, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Master, I," can I increase a little? ”

"Okay". Du Wenhao smiled.

"Then, I will also recognize eighty shares." ”

As soon as he heard that he had changed, the other two shareholders who had recognized ten shares also wanted to change: "I also recognize eighty."

Du Wenhao said: "I'm sorry, the first three shareholders plus the official family have invested in the shares, a total of nine hundred and forty shares, you originally subscribed for thirty shares, and there are only thirty shares left." Each person can add up to 10 additional shares

The three of them want to increase their shares, that is, they can't hang their faces and make a show. Of course, they knew that the total amount had already been a thousand shares of Zheng Chen, so as soon as they heard this, they said stupidly: "Then, "Then add ten shares." ”

"Good! A total of six shopkeepers have invested in the shares, and the official family has a total of seven. Shareholder. Let's make a shareholder register first, sign it in front of everyone, remember, even if the signature is a formal subscription, you can't regret it after the subscription, and you must hand over the food and money to the company within the time specified in the articles of association. Han Tiju has already expressed his position on the official's shareholding in the grain money, and he will return to Chengdu tomorrow to transfer and send it. Shareholders are reminded that if they do not pay money and grain on time, they must bear the liability for breach of contract and compensate other shareholders for the losses caused by this. ”

All six shareholders nodded in agreement.

"One more thing, we have to give the company seven names, what should we call it? Du Wenhao turned around and asked Su Shi: "Su Zhizhou, you are a famous writer, you can help choose a name." ”

"Imperial Doctor Du praised it falsely." Su Shi smiled and said, "This business name is for the people, and it must be easy to understand." It can't be too quaint, so that the people can know at a glance, before Du Yuyi said, the change is to benefit the people, and the same is true for opening a loan company with a private partnership, so it is better to call it "Huimin Rice Bank, how about it?" ”

Han Xiu stroked his palms and smiled, "This name is good!" Simple and straightforward, the people can understand it at a glance, and it directly cuts to the purpose of the opening of the rice store, which is very kind. ”

Du Wenhao and the shareholders nodded in agreement.

Du Wenhao said: "On behalf of the representative of the official family, there must be one more person, please nominate it."

After discussion, the six shareholders all felt that Hou Zhong, the old priest in charge of the granary tax in the state yamen corpse, was loyal, honest, and knowledgeable, and was a more suitable candidate, and unanimously recommended him as a representative.

Du Wenhao immediately called someone to call Hou Zhong. Briefly talk about it. and clearly told him that once he agreed to come to the company as a manager, he could no longer serve as a charge in the yamen. Of course, the monthly salary is still according to the original license, but it has no official power.

Hou Zhong didn't care about the position of the little official, he paid more attention to the importance that the supervisor valued him, and said happily at the moment: "Thank you for the promotion, since the master and everyone trust the old man so much, then the old man obeys the order, and the charge is not appropriate." I don't know what this manager does, and if you don't do it well, everyone will bear with me. The old decay can't do anything else, run errands. Copying and writing is okay. Huh"

The shareholders laughed. Then choose the chairman, this does not need to ask, of course, Du Wenhao is unanimously recommended as the chairman. Du Wenhao did not shirk: "Thank you for your trust, the effectiveness of this company is related to the change of the official in Yazhou, so the official must serve everyone well and find ways to do a good job of the company." ”

Du Wenhao also nominated Mi 12 as the manager, responsible for handling daily affairs, in addition to the official family, Mi 12 has the most shares, and everyone naturally has no objection.

At the moment, Mi 12 wrote and Du Wenhao guided a register of shareholders, and each of the seven shareholders signed on it. Du Wenhao stamped the seal of the hook officer, indicating that this was the imperial court.

Then, under the guidance of Du Wenhao, several shareholders discussed the formulation of the company's articles of association and decided to take out part of the funds. Bought a house in the downtown area to use as a company office and built a granary. Before that. For the time being, he borrowed the granary of the government to hoard grain, and since the change of the city law had been stopped, Du Wenhao decided to vacate two rooms of the city office as a temporary office location.

Du Wenhao organized the first shareholders' meeting in front of the grain merchants and voted first. Decide on the interest rate on the loan.

Du Wenhao said: "It stands to reason that I should not ask the shareholders to set the interest rate lower, but this time the situation is different, because the people of this state have just suffered from the military disaster, many people are homeless, and the losses are very large. I will borrow it if I grit my teeth, but the burden will be very heavy. Therefore, I implore you to set the loan a little lower this year, so that the people can really benefit. Of course, this is just a proposal, and the vote will be held by secret ballot, and the shareholders have the right to decide independently, and my proposal is not compulsory."

Mi Twelve said with a smile: "Chairman, you just call the shots." Other shareholders chimed in.

Du Wenhao sighed in his heart. In ancient times, the common people were real, and even the mercenary businessmen were so serious about the official position when it came to their own interests, not to mention the ordinary people, it seems that they have a long way to go to popularize the sense of rights.

Du Wenhao said: "This is not good" has already been said. This kind of thing must be discussed at the shareholders' meeting according to the double majority, "Castle is like this, so that everyone can discuss it intensively." I propose three options, the first is to calculate the interest rate according to the original two cents of the seedling method; the second, one out of five; The third, one copy. Everyone votes by secret ballot. If there is no majority, the one with the least number of votes is removed and a new vote is held, or the interest can be proposed as you see fit. Until a majority is formed. ”

All shareholders agreed.

At the moment, the company's manager Hou Zhu Si ticket, after everyone wrote it, handed it over to Hou Zhu Si. Hou Zhusi scrambled the tickets, collected them at will, and sang them under the supervision of Mi Twelve.

To Du Wenhao's surprise, all shareholders filled in the third type, that is, one dividend!

Du Wenhao was happy at the same time, but also felt uneasy, he knew in his heart that this was all because of the pressure on these grain merchants from his previous words as an official, and the fear of officials was deep-rooted, and he couldn't change it for a while, not to mention that there were Han Xiu, the Chengdu Mansion, Su Shi, the Zhizhou, and so many grain merchants on the side. These grain merchants would rather make less money than offend the official.

Thinking about this, Du Wenhao secretly warned himself in his heart that in the future affairs of the company, he should weaken the influence of his official master on them as much as possible and truly push the company to the market.

In the past, the Seedlings Law was a mandatory 10-person guarantee. Now there is no need for this method, Du Wenhao proposed to use a considerable value of land and family wealth as collateral, so it is a pity to take out a loan. If you don't have it, you can also provide a person with property as a guarantor, and you can't repay it. When due, the collateral can be sold to pay off, or the guarantor can pay it off on behalf of the guarantor.

Although there was a system of guarantor or mortgage in ancient times, it was far less perfect than the provisions of modern civil law. Du Wenhao introduced the security law system in modern civil law. Everyone was amazed, and they all thought that the regulations were clear and feasible.

Then. The shareholders' meeting decided that all the money and food must be in place by the evening of the next day, and the loan will start on the third day. Prior to this, the Mi shopkeeper was responsible for selecting and hiring the company's employees and engraving the official seal. Then post loan announcements in the city and in the countryside to publicize it.

The onlookers finally saw how a company in the modern sense was established and how the shareholders' meeting operated, which was an eye-opener, and this became a preliminary popularization lesson of modern civil law.

Du Wenhao was very happy when the matter was done, and told the grain merchants to open a porridge factory to help the homeless victims after they went back, and followed Su Shi and Han Xiu to patrol the streets. Only then did he return to his lodgings satisfied.

Night. Pang Yuqin personally cooked and fried a few good dishes. Invite Han Yi, Su Shi and Qian Bu to dinner.

Dinner. Du Wenhao's money does not collect the epidemic prevention and control. Qian Bu's expression was gloomy: "Master, there are basically no problems in the city, according to your requirements, garbage cleaning and disinfection work has been arranged, but the situation in the countryside is really not optimistic." ”

"What's wrong?" Du Wenhao stopped his chopsticks and asked.

"Yazhou is a mountainous area, with high mountains and dense forests, and heavy dew and moisture, which is a place where smoke and itching can easily breed. In addition, the towns and villages are scattered, and the people who suffer from the plague only work for more than ten days, and once they do, it is often a village. The strength of the warriors is limited, and they are unable to prevent and control all the villages. In some villages, the epidemic is now in place, and the villagers are scattered to flee, and the epidemic is easy to spread. ”

Du Wenhao has experience in the prevention and treatment of pneumonic plague in Dongda County. Although typhoid fever was easier to treat and had a much lower mortality rate than pneumonic plague, it could not be ignored, and he knew that for this highly contagious disease, it was necessary to establish an epidemic area and then treat it. However, their army believed that in order to prevent the invasion of the neighboring tribes in the West Mountain, most of them had already been deployed in the strategic area of the West Mountain, and there was no army at hand that could implement the isolation.

Du Wenhao pondered for a moment and said: "The anti-weight work is urgent, and it is more important than grasping production at present." Fortunately, this time the epidemic prevention work is different from our in Dongda County, which time the pox fatigue is much more violent. This time is relatively mild, so even if it is not completely isolated, there is still a way to control it. In this way, tonight you immediately organize the preparation of a sufficient amount of preventive medicine powder, and starting tomorrow, gather all the Langzhong, divide them into several groups, and be responsible for each piece, and lead the countryside to carry out epidemic prevention knowledge publicity. Medicines are delivered to your door, and the main source of transmission of this disease is food. As long as food and water are not contaminated, the spread of the disease can be controlled. Therefore, the most important thing in epidemic prevention this time is to popularize epidemic prevention knowledge and send medicine to the cottage. ”

The money is not collected, and I bow down and promise.

Su Shi said: "At present, grain merchants have opened porridge factories for disaster relief; The food of the people in the city has been temporarily solved, and General Han is about to bring disaster relief grain, so we must first find out the disaster situation and make a list of affected households, so that we can provide disaster relief food at that time. ”

Du Wenhao's lending company lends grain to farmers who still have crops in the field and can repay the autumn harvest, as well as merchants who can find a mortgage to borrow money from the rice bank to start a new business. You can borrow as much as you want. For the peasant households whose crops have been completely or mostly destroyed, as well as the households and merchants whose houses and shops in the towns have been burned down and have no mortgage guarantee, the imperial court has allocated disaster relief grain funds to provide relief, of course, this kind of relief is only to help the poor and not to help the poor, and can only solve the rations for a few days or at most, so that you can find things to make money or make a living during this time.

Du Wenhao nodded and said, "Yes, this work will start tomorrow." By the way, the refugees have occupied your governor's yamen, and you have to find a way to let them return as soon as possible, even if you are not in a hurry to go in and work. The people are also in a hurry to build new homes. What should I do? ”

Su Shi said: "When we went to the countryside to inspect the disaster before, I saw that there were mountains and rivers in this place, and there were bamboo forests everywhere. Bamboo grows very well, and bamboo is very cheap, you can buy a large amount of disaster relief money, for the disaster victims to build simple houses with bamboo, anyway, now that the weather is hot, there is no need to worry about the cold, slow out the time for them to find a living. Earn money to build your own home. ”

Du Wenhao stroked his palms and smiled: "Good idea! How did you come up with that? ”

Su Shi smiled: "We also have a lot of bamboo in our hometown. If the poor people can't afford to repair their houses, they use bamboo to build houses, although the winter is not very easy, but it is much better than lying in the open air. ”

The bamboo in the wild mountains is not ownerless, but belongs to the mountain landlord, but the bamboo grows quickly. It grows in two or three years, so the price is much cheaper than wood. The next day, Du Wenhao sent officials to the neighborhood to buy bamboo. When the mountain landlords heard that he had bought it and that it was used to build temporary shelters for the refugees, they did not refuse to do so, even though the money had not yet arrived. It was sold to them at a very cheap price.

Du Wenhao posted a notice to recruit carpenters and carpenters who knew how to build houses, and began to build temporary shelters for the burned houses in the city with a small amount of money as a reward for the food and a small amount of wages. This action has provided many people with employment opportunities and solved the problem of accommodation for refugees, which makes the refugees in the city feel very grateful to him.

After the arrangements were made, Du Wenhao took the officials to the yamen to register and verify the burning of the housing merchants, so that the bamboo building could be built as planned.

When the refugees saw Du Wenhao coming in, they quickly knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

Du Wenhao smiled and asked everyone to get up, kneeling in front A boy about eleven or twelve years old looked at Du Wenhao intently, as if he wanted to say something. Du Wenhao quickly appeared at him, only to see that he looked very smart, tall and thin, Du Wenhao stepped forward, and the child hurriedly lowered his head.

Du Wenhao asked: "What is your name, you look at me like this, but what do you want to say to me?" ”

The child looked up. smiled a little shyly and said, "I heard that sister just now say, you are Langzhong, master?" As he spoke, he pointed to the snow.

Du Wenhao knew that some time ago, Yan Miaoshou, Pang Yuqin, Xue Jiaoer and Su Shi's two. Madame and some women were here to take care of the injured and sick refugees, and asked with concern, "What, are you sick?" ”

The child shook his head: "No, I have been born since I was born, my mother said that I have never been sick, and I am sweating naked in the winter." ”

There were children in the crowd who laughed at him in a low voice, and Du Wenhao also laughed: "Then why are you asking me this question?" ”

The child smirked and said: "Everyone said that the eldest master is different from other officials, he is an official who really helps the people do things, his medical skills are very high, and he also sends doctors and medicines to everyone for free."

So I wanted to ask. ”

Du Wenhao smiled: "That's right, I'm a doctor, it's right to treat everyone, who called us the parent official." Those who are officials should serve the people. "Reach out and pat the child on the shoulder." What is your name? ”

"My name is Monkey."

A little girl about his age giggled and said, "He's a monkey who jumps up and down all day long!" ”

Du Wenhao amused: "That shows that he is very flexible, and I am not as old as him."

When the monkey heard Du Wenhao say this, he was even more proud, pulled his trouser legs, pointed to a big tree in the yard, and said to Du Wenhao: "Master, if you do it dozens of times, I can climb to the treetops, and if you do it dozens of times, I will come down." Can you believe it or not? ”

The official behind Du Wenhao lowered his face and said, "Little guy, go away, do you think the eldest master is very idle and plays such a trick with you?" The big man is busy! ”

The monkey listened. He immediately bowed his head and stopped talking.

Du Wenhao waved his hand and said to the monkey: "Okay, then I'm going to start counting now, so many folks are watching, don't be sloppy!" ”

Everyone followed suit. When the monkey saw Du Wenhao say this, he was happy and took off a pair of rotten straw sandals on his feet. Fall to the side. Then, like a fierce horse, he stomped on the ground with both feet, bowed down and made a starting posture, and smiled at Du Wenhao. Nod your head to indicate that you can count.

Du Wenhao waved his hand and shouted, "Begin!" One! Two! ”

I saw that the monkey rushed to the tree like a fly, and everyone hurriedly made way for him, and when Du Wenhao counted to ten, the monkey had already burrowed into the dense leaves, Du Wenhao walked quickly to the tree, but he couldn't see anyone.

"Monkey, where are you?" Du Wenhao shouted loudly.

Lord Landa. I'm here. As he spoke, he saw a sound of Hui Hui Cui Cui coming from the top of the tree. Du Wenhao took two steps back, and a small head came out of the leaves, waving vigorously towards Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao said: "Be careful when you come down, don't fall." Begin! One! Two!

The monkey's head was gone all of a sudden, and Du Wenhao's ten exits saw that the monkey had jumped down from a branch and stood firmly in front of Du Wenhao.

"My lord, I didn't lie to you, did I?" The monkey said half-proudly.

Du Wenhao nodded approvingly and said, "It's pretty fast, not bad!" ”

"What do you need monkeys to do in the future, just ask, I know this place very well, the streets and alleys of the city. There are mountains and ravines outside the city, and there is no place I don't know. ”

Pang Yuqin walked over. He said to the monkey, "Then do you know the shortcut up the mountain?" ”

Du Wenhao turned his head curiously and asked, "What do you do on the way up the mountain?" ”

Pang Yuqin said: "The disaster relief food is a drop in the bucket, and it can't be supported for a long time, so we have to find other things to eat for these victims." There must be a lot of wild fruits and wild vegetables on this mountain, so we thought that we would find some people to take them up the mountain to pick some things, so that we could eat them with the grain on the one hand, and on the other hand, we could dry some of them and keep them for the winter. ”

The monkey patted his chest. said: "No problem, I'll take a few sisters there." ”

The official beside him glared and said, "What is the child screaming nonsense!" These are the wives of the great lord, you want to call Mrs., you know? ”

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "I think it's good to call my sister, there is not much difference in age, and it is easy to scream, just call it like this." ”

The monkey glanced at the official a little proudly, and hurriedly shouted respectfully to Lin Qingdai and Pang Yuqin: "Hello sister!" ”

Lin Qingdai smiled faintly. Pang Yuqin reached out and touched his little head: "Where is your father?" ”

The monkey said gloomily: "My grandparents, father, mother, brothers and sisters were all killed by Fanjun, and I took advantage of the chaos to climb a tree and hide." to survive."

A trace of unbearability flashed on Pang Yuqin's face: "It's really pitiful, then what will you do in the future?" ”

The monkey wiped his tears. smiled again: "I can carry a long job and do work, I won't die of hunger!" ”

Pang Yuqin sighed and said to Du Wenhao: "Xianggong, how can this kid resist to live, how can he live alone, otherwise, you can find him something, you can support him." ”

The monkey was very clever, and when he heard this, he hurriedly knelt down: "Okay, I can do anything, I'm not afraid of hardship!" ”

Now that Madame has spoken. Du Wenhao was not easy to refuse, and after thinking about it, there was really nothing suitable for an eleven or twelve-year-old child to do. "You look quite clever, otherwise, you can follow me as an errand messenger first." I'll see if I can find you an errand later. ”

The monkeys were pleasantly surprised. Kowtowed again and again like pounding garlic: "Okay, thank you, master!" More Madame! ”
