The winter days of the grassland come earlier and more urgently than in Kannai. www.biquge.info It was only mid-August, and the grassland near the garrison camp was already covered with heavy snow. The raging north wind is like a sharp knife, scraping small holes in people's faces. Except for Li Deyi, all the rest of the patrol soldiers had a thick grease on their faces to ward off the harsh winter wind.

Li Deyi once inspected the southern grasslands and found that the climate in this world was indeed as described in the classics left by the founding ancestor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, the folder it was to the north, the faster and colder it became. The grassland where the garrison regiment camp is located is already frozen in heavy snow, and if you go 500 miles to the south, there is only a small snow on the grassland there, and a little emerald green can still be seen in many places. According to Zhu Biao, at this time in the south of the Yangtze River, it is still a hot summer, and it is necessary to wear short clothes.

Li De inspected his own camp, which seemed a little depressed because of Ling Dong, and at the same time thought about the newly established Dingbei Labor Dispatch Company.

As Fan Guoshi and Ashina Huo'er had predicted, the pace of the Dingbei garrison was hindered by heavy snow and cold, and it became slow. Throughout August, the garrison built only one fort forward. Because Commander Liu cherished the people's strength and refused to let the people work under the heavy snow and cold wind, the repair of this fortress stopped, and it took a month to build.

Although the advance of the garrison was delayed by the severe cold weather, Li Deyi's business of cooperation with the royal families of the two countries was in full swing. Not long ago, the "Dingbei Labor Dispatch Company", a joint venture led by Deputy Head Li of the Garrison Regiment and jointly participated by the royal family of the Pingtang Kingdom and the royal family of the Pinghan Kingdom, was formally established. The company's start-up capital is all advanced by the Dingbei garrison group, and it monopolizes fifty percent of the shares. The royal family of the Pingtang Kingdom and the royal family of the Pinghan Kingdom are still unbeatable this time, but they each account for two and a half.

Li Deyi knew that the royal families of the two countries were very picky, and he didn't embarrass them, and directly advanced the company's "registered capital" first.

In terms of company personnel, the person in charge of the garrison regiment is Li Deyi, the chairman and general manager of the company (don't ask Li Deyi what he thinks of this name), the representative of the garrison regiment of Ping Hanguo is the crown prince Liu Ying, and the person in charge of contacting Ping Hanguo is Liu Lai's favorite youngest son Liu Ruyi (the son born to Mrs. Qi). On the side of the Pingtang Kingdom, the representative of the garrison regiment was Princess Changle, and the head of the royal family of the Pingtang Kingdom was Li Tai, the fourth son of Li Shiluan, the king of Wei.

Li Deyi monopolized the right to operate and agreed with the royal families of the two countries that he would not interfere with the company's operation for 50 years. Fifty years later, the royal families of the two countries were qualified to intervene in the business. Li Deyi did this, mainly to prevent the royal family members of the two countries from pretending to understand in the early stage, which would affect the company's early development. After the company is launched, it is natural to teach the royal families of the two countries part of the management rights. After all, Li Deyi has too many things to do now, and it is impossible to always keep an eye on the company's business conditions.

The purpose of the establishment of the company is to demonstrate the benevolence of the royal families of the two countries to the people. It was claimed to the outside world that the royal families of the two countries had learned the lessons of the fall of the previous dynasty, and in order to prevent the small people from being resentful and could not bear to see the people suffer when they served, they specially invited Li Li, deputy head of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, to establish this "Dingbei Labor Dispatch Company" together.

As for the meaning of the word "company", no one can say clearly. Li Deyi woke up too quickly because of his excitement at that time, and he forgot to look at the picture in his dream.

The main business content of this company is that officials at all levels of the two countries recruit Minzhuang from their respective jurisdictions to deliver grain, grass and logistics materials to the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, and these Minzhuang are all under the management of the labor dispatch company. Therefore, once an accident occurs, it can be well avoided that officials at all levels pass the buck to each other, resulting in the death of ordinary people in vain without receiving any compensation. Because the labor dispatch company is in charge of this.

And in order to show that the royal family loves the people and cherishes the people's power. The labor dispatch company pays the conscripted Minzhuang on a regular basis, once every 10 days, with three silver coins at a time. Moreover, because the grassland has entered the winter and the people lack warm clothing, the labor dispatch company specially paid to purchase cotton clothes and quilts from the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, and distributed them to the service people according to the capitation.

At the same time, the labor dispatch company made a commitment that in the event of an accident during the service, the labor dispatch company will give a generous bereavement pension to the specific amount of which will be notified separately.

The specific profit model of this labor dispatch company is quite interesting.

The royal families of the two countries take the lead in benevolence and love for the people, and the major wealthy families in the two countries certainly have to express their expression. What the? Your family doesn't want to show it? Yes, we do this completely voluntarily. When the time comes, some people will gather at your door every day to make trouble, don't blame me, the emperor, for not caring about you. The emperor stared at the decree and did not let it go, saying that the will of the people could not be violated, which official dared to do it?

A few of the big families sent their members out to drive these people away, but before they could do anything, some people lay on the ground covered in blood, claiming that they had been beaten. Immediately, a charge of conniving at the beating of human lives by domestic slaves was quickly deducted on the face of this big family. Officials at all levels have already been knocked by the emperor, and they know that the emperor is going to arrest a few typical examples, killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, who dares to stop them? The saint loves the people so much, you big families dare to go against the grain, and at the beginning of the founding of the country, these loyal court officials naturally supported the court.

These families were made into a mess by this lawsuit, and finally had to spend a lot of money to get through it.

Needless to say, such an indiscriminate idea was naturally secretly supported by Li Deyi.

Some families will come to things with an open heart and keep up with the pace of the royal family. They all said that they were touched by the Holy Lord's benevolent heart, and excitedly and respectfully asked the Holy One to give him a chance to participate in this act of benevolence, and he was willing to donate as much as he wanted.

There is also a limit to the amount of donation, and it is not possible for anyone to donate if they want to. The minimum is 100,000, and there is no upper limit. Those small families, the country will not embarrass you.

After donating this donation, even if the family has a direct connection with the royal family, it will be registered with the emperor. The Emperor had a company account that was updated every year, on which a sum of money was clearly recorded. These accounts were specially made for the emperor by the professional accountants of the garrison regiment, and they were very easy to understand. In the future, if the children study and take the exam to become an official (Ping Tang Guo will take the exam as an official), and raise filial piety and honesty (Ping Hanguo will be an official by recommendation) or something, it will be a big benefit.

Both countries rule the world with benevolence and filial piety, and loyal ministers must come from the family of benevolence, filial piety and loyalty. Those families who are kind and generous, their children must be filial sons and loyal ministers, and the court must of course give priority to admission! Your family has been rich and noble for many years, but you have not pulled out a dime, so you don't know how to be a loyal servant in a family that does not understand benevolence? I'm sorry, if your children and grandchildren want to be officials, please stand aside.

What, your children and grandchildren have the ability, but they have passed the examinations and recommended them at all levels, and finally at the stage of the palace examination, the emperor personally selected them? I'm sorry, the emperor has an account book there, who values benevolence and filial piety (the more charitable donations, the more benevolence and filial piety), the emperor remembers it clearly. When the time came, he took out the account book and looked at it, and with a wave of his hand, he personally deposed the children and grandchildren of those families who did not understand "benevolence and filial piety".

Soon after the establishment and operation of the Dingbei Labor Dispatch Company, the Pinghan Kingdom and the Pingtang Dynasty, from the imperial court to the people, began to praise the emperor for his benevolence and love, which was a rare Ming monarch and a holy monarch for thousands of years.

Why? Because no one is blind, and those who work are all paid on time, never in arrears, and everyone has thick new cotton clothes to wear. Not only that, but every citizen can also receive a bag of baked cakes issued by the company to eat on the road. These are all real, and when you look at it, you can see that there is no way to fake.

The most important thing is that the royal families of the two countries did not spend a penny on the national treasury, and several prime ministers and important ministers of the two courts naturally praised it.

The subjects of the world praised the emperor's benevolence with one voice, and the hearts of the two emperors were naturally beautiful.

However, what makes the royal family even happier is that this Dingbei labor dispatch company not only won them a good reputation, but also brought them millions of silver dollars in income every year!

What, you say that this Dingbei labor dispatch company lives entirely on charitable donations, and there is no profit point at all? Hehe, the doorway here is just dark.

We are a labor dispatch company, so of course we have to have an assessment. The people who are responsible for transporting logistical materials such as grain, construction and timber must arrive on time, and if there is a delay on the road, or if the goods are damaged, of course, they must deduct the money, or even not pay the wages. Lest some scoundrels get involved and cheat these donations.

Hundreds of thousands of people in the two countries are transporting goods back and forth day and night, delays and other things, damage to grain goods and so on, it is always inevitable. When it comes time to pay wages, about 20,000 people will be deducted from their wages because they failed the assessment. In addition, there are more than 2,000 who will be deducted from their wages and dismissed for various reasons.

These deducted money, naturally, become the company's income. 20,000 people deduct a silver coin every ten days. That's 60,000 pieces of silver in a month, and 700,000 pieces of silver in a year.

Of course, these are deliberately leaked to smart people, but they are just a drop in the bucket of the company's earnings.

You know, how do you spend the money after these donations are collected? For example, whose cotton to buy for cotton clothes, and where to buy sheep for sheep soup, but the Dingbei garrison has the final say, and the subjects of the two countries do not know anything about it. The price of this is naturally negotiable.

At present, according to calculations, in a year, the company's net profit is between three million and five million silver coins, and when the time comes, the income of the royal families of the two countries will be one million silver coins higher, and the garrison will get the rest.

However, this is only an estimate of the benefits so far. Don't forget that in the two countries, the fight against drought, floods, locust plagues, plagues, etc., all need to be done by the people, as well as post-disaster reconstruction. Other construction work such as building post roads, palaces, etc., should also gather the people. Including transporting grain, grass, logistics and materials to various troops and horses, and so on. All in all, everything that needs to be used in the two countries has been contracted by the Dingbei Labor Dispatch Company!

In the past, the prime ministers and high-ranking officials of the two countries summoned the people to do these things under the banner of national conscription, without spending a penny. Now that there is a labor dispatch company, these things naturally have to be handed over to the labor dispatch company.

At the beginning, some prime ministers sensed that something was wrong and felt that the Dingbei Labor Service Company had too much power and should be suppressed. So he played the emperor and demanded that these matters still be managed by the relevant yamen of the imperial court.

Of course the emperor will not agree! What are you kidding, I'm making money! That Deputy Head Li has already reported to me, and the money in the treasury is the big one! With this labor dispatch company, I can justifiably turn the money in the treasury into the royal treasury, and at the same time take care of all the people in the world, so why not? The price is nothing more than the loss of some authority of the court officials, and this is nothing. I'm already worried that I have too much power, and I want to cut it! This company has many birds in one stone, and if I agree to the prime minister's recital, I will be a melon skin.

Looking at the income estimate and future development suggestions secretly sent by Li Deyi, the two emperors waved their hands and directly issued a holy decree. From now on, the people of the whole country will be centralized in the management of the North Labor Dispatch Company, so that the benevolent actions of the royal family can benefit the people of the whole country! It shows that the royal family loves the people equally, and follows the holy religion of the sages to "establish a life for the people".

With this holy decree, the emperors of the two countries instantly firmly occupied the commanding heights of moral public opinion. If the prime ministers of the two countries and the relevant affected ministers want to obstruct it, they must consider the issue of the will of the people in the world. Besides, everyone came out to be an official, all under the banner of "To the King and Sages". Now that the emperor loves the people so much, he is chasing after the previous kings, but you, who are the prime minister and the monk, are not allowed to let you, what do you mean? Are you a traitor?

Besides, this company was founded by that Li Killer. Blocking his business, you don't want to live anymore? The family that was wiped out by this star-killing man was eighty if not a hundred. Do you want to be next? Back then, because the Tuliao Kingdom accidentally provoked him, it was originally going to dominate the world, but now it is about to be defeated and wiped out. Who dares to block the financial path of this star-killing star, let's get tired of it.

Well, the important ministers of the two courts, whether they were sincere or not, began to vigorously support and praise the emperor's benevolent act.

With this decree, the praise of their respective emperors in the two countries has reached a new peak.

The whole country of the two countries, from the great family to the countryside, from the literati to the illiterate old women and children, from the great Confucian celebrities to the peddlers and pawns, are all praising the emperor's charity and benevolence, and he is a rare saint!

Philanthropist, philanthropist, philanthropic fortune. Sure enough, it lives up to its name! Sure enough, fame and fortune are gained!

And the general leader of charity, who has killed countless people like hemp, and now Li Deyi, who is about to exterminate the Tuliao tribe, is riding on a Humvee at this time, watching the people who come and go. These people were all smiling on their faces, and all of them wore warm thick cotton jackets, happily going to Dingbei County to deliver grain and other logistical materials. After sending off the goods, I went to the tent next to me and drank a bowl of hot cold warming mutton soup, which was enough to eat in a greasy big oil cake tube.

Wang Meng next to him didn't know when he had already followed, and said to Li Deyi: "Jingluo bows." I never thought that the deputy head of the regiment skillfully made a benevolent heart, and actually aroused the benevolence of the emperors of the two countries, so that the people benefited so much. Jing Luo never thought that there was such a benevolent and holy thing in the world, and it was just like that when the ancient sages ruled the world, it was nothing more than that. Goodbye. ”

Li Deyi laughed when he heard this, and whispered to Wang Meng to tell the truth about the matter. Wang Meng is a first-class soldier of the garrison regiment, and he is fully qualified to know this.

When Wang Meng heard this, he exclaimed: "This is a trick that deceives the world and steals his name, how can the deputy head of the regiment act like this!" ”

"Be quiet! Let's go and talk. Li Deyi whispered to stop Wang Meng, and then directly dragged him back to his tent.

The two sat down in the tent, Wang Meng stared at Li Deyi directly, if you don't explain the matter to me clearly today, I will expose you.

Li Deyi was not in a hurry to say something, but asked Wang Meng a question first. "Let me ask you, do you have a way to get those big families to join forces with the royal family and love the people under your rule so much? The Xianping Zhou Dynasty was not without love for the people, but in the end, they all sank into the sea and had no effect. Far from benefiting the people, they are often made more miserable as a result. You must know all these things, so you don't need me to talk nonsense. ”

Wang Meng was stunned when he heard this, and then fell into deep thought.

Of course, Wang Meng knew these things, what he learned was the art of supporting the dragon in Anbang and stabilizing the country, so he naturally had to read the deeds of the famous ministers who failed in the previous dynasty. Just like in the Xianping Zhou Dynasty, the famous minister Wang Anbang, at that time, it was known as "Anbang does not come out, Nai Cangsheng He." "The entire Pingzhou court, from the emperor to the hundred officials, down to the common people, all hoped that he would come out to save the building and rectify the weak situation of the court.

After Wang Anbang visited the prime minister that year, he also vigorously eliminated maladministration and implemented new laws. His original intention was to strengthen the country and enrich the people, but in the end, the country was not strong, the people were weaker, and the internal fighting among the officials of various factions in the imperial court became more intense. When Wang Meng summarized the reasons at that time, he summarized the two most important reasons for Wang Anbang's failure, one of which was that the emperor could not firmly support him to the end. Second, after the interests of many ministers were damaged, they opposed the change of law.

Wang Meng knows a lot about things like this. He thought about it, and the answer was no. Even, a world-class and intelligent person like Wang Meng, who is a pedantic celestial, studied to the end, and even had to believe in nonsense such as "the dynasty has its own luck, and its luck will be exhausted, and non-human beings can return to heaven".

After a long time, Wang Meng sighed and said, "If you don't do harsh government, I really have no other way to do it." However, if the government is harsh for a long time, it will inevitably ruin the people and will not benefit the world. I can't do anything and ......" in just a few sentences, it simply explains the bitterness of millions of years of famous ministers ruling the world.

Li Deyi said: "My method has indeed allowed the royal families of the two countries to gain a lot of fame and fortune for nothing. Those big families who donated money were also able to make their children and grandchildren smoothly enter the officialdom. But the people of the two countries have also benefited a lot. This is the way things happen in this world, if only one party benefits from everything, things will not last long. This can only be done for a long time if all parties can make a profit. And don't forget, how the money is spent is always up to me. As long as I hold this level here, the people will always be profitable. There will never be a situation where the royal family gains fame and fortune in vain, and it is not beneficial to the people. ”

After hearing this, Wang Meng thought about it for a long time, and had to admit that Deputy Head Li's method may be the only good method at present.
