"Today, this official has set two major goals as the ultimate goal of our organization, the first is to strengthen the country and the second is to enrich the people. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"If you are willing to follow this official with these two goals as your life's goal, then follow this official, and if you don't want to, you can leave at any time. And in the future, if there is any violation of these two goals, immediately reform! ”

"Would you like to?"

Yang Chao asked loudly.

"Yes!"

"Yes!."

"I want to strengthen the country and enrich the people!"

All the talents were excited.

Yang Chao smiled secretly in his heart, young man, he has read the sage books for so many years, if there is no idealism, it is too much to say, others don't say it, although Wu Peifu is a warlord, some of his actions are still very idealistic and negative.

"Well, since you all agree. Then the official now declares that we will all be members of the same organization from now on. Now, in order to achieve these two major goals, the official has proposed three means: the first is to develop industry, the second is to open up the people's wisdom, and the third is to promote commerce and trade. ”

Yang Chao continued: "If industry is prosperous, the country will be strong, if the people are intelligent, the country will be prosperous, and if business is promoted, the people will be rich. You are not pedantic scholars, and I know that you are scholars who have seen the world. I know that the reason why foreigners are strong is because they have developed industries and are skilled in firearms and warships. The education of foreigners is developed, primary schools, middle schools, and universities are divided into categories, and in the Western powers, no one is illiterate, and no one does not go to school. The reason why foreigners are rich is because they have access to commerce and trade, ships sail to all countries in the world, freight to the east and west, and earn back all the real money and silver in the world, and finally fall into the pockets of their people. ”

"But you must remember that the development of industry, the development of people's wisdom and the promotion of commerce and trade are only means, not ends, not the cost of our own life, but the means by which we achieve our goals. Sheng Xuanhuai did foreign affairs, but he regarded foreign affairs as his capital for promotion and wealth, and his purpose in doing foreign affairs was not to strengthen the country, or even to run foreign affairs themselves, but personal honor and disgrace. We can't learn from him, we have our own goals and means. ”

The talents nodded frequently, and Sheng Xuanhuai was still very popular among the officials.

Empress Dowager Cixi commented: "Sheng Xuanhuai is an indispensable person. ”

Li Hongzhang commented: "When he is ambitious, he is tenacious and responsible, and he is wise and discerning, and he can be of great use. ”

Zhang Zhidong commented: "It can connect the north and the south, China and foreign countries, and officials and businessmen. ”

Sun Yat-sen commented: "He is enthusiastic about public welfare, and he is very trustworthy in the economic circles. ”

Lu Xun commented: "Traitors, bureaucratic capitalists, local tyrants and inferior gentry." ”

Obviously, people with a certain status still agree with Sheng Xuanhuai, and he has indeed done a lot of things:

In 1872, he drafted the "Steamship Investment Promotion Regulations", the first of its kind in China. In 1880, China's first telegraph office was established, the Tianjin Telegraph Office; In 1886, he founded China's first Shandong Inland River Small Steamer Company; In the 70s of the 19th century, he "prospected" in Hubei; In 1896, he took over the Hanyang Iron Works and gradually developed into a real iron and steel complex - Hanyeping Coal and Iron Works and Mining Company; In the late 90s, the Luhan Railway, China's first railway trunk line, was built; In 1897, the first bank in China was established, the China Commerce Bank. In 1895, he founded the first regular university in China, Peiyang University, and in 1897, the first normal class was opened in Nanyang College, which was the first formal higher normal school in China. In 1902, he founded the China Exploration and Mining Corporation......

Sheng Xuanhuai is a person who knows how to do things and can do things, such a person will like to use it very much for upper-level people.

But for the people at the bottom, just like Mr. Lu Xun commented, traitors, bureaucratic capitalists, local tyrants and inferior gentry, because this person does not do foreign affairs to achieve any ideas and ambitions, because he is a Western-style official, he does Western-style affairs, not because he does Western-style affairs, he becomes a Western-style official, the purpose and result are different, although he does the same thing, but he is not the same person.

Running foreign affairs is just Sheng Xuanhuai's means to power, a means to accumulate wealth, and a capital to settle down, not his purpose, not his ideal, his purpose is to get promoted and make a fortune, and to honor and favor himself, as for the ideal, let alone the ideal.

Therefore, Sheng Xuanhuai is a merchant official, and he is an official by the means of a businessman; The famous Hu Xueyan is a red-top businessman, an official businessman, and a businessman who uses the identity of an official to do business, one of the two is to be an official, and the other is to do business, so Sheng Xuanhuai is an official, and Hu Xueyan is still a businessman in the final analysis.

Yang Chao doesn't want to cultivate a group of businessmen like Sheng Xuanhuai, and he doesn't need officials and businessmen like Hu Xueyan, he hopes that his subordinates can have a group of subordinates who have ideals, ambitions, ambitions, and have a noble goal to keep moving forward.

Therefore, it is necessary to let them distinguish between the goals and the means, and let them establish correct values.

"But then again, the reason why you're here is because of the high salary. I would like to ask you, when money and power are contrary to your goals, what will you choose? Is it to give up the original intention and exchange for generous profits, or to give up wealth and hold the original intention? ”

Wang Qiu was the first to stand up and said in high spirits: "Adults don't need to be suspicious, villains are dedicated to the public and will never be greedy for personal gain!" ”

A lot of people nodded in agreement.

Yang Chao believes that they are sincere at this time, who has not yet been in high spirits, but once they encounter the temptation, when they encounter the test, they really can't say it, the power of the sugar-coated cannonball is difficult to resist, how many people with lofty ideals do not move a single bit under the severe punishment of the enemy, and when the sugar-coated cannonballs hit, one by one they fell and corrupted.

Yang Chao said slowly: "I think that there is no conflict between achieving personal success and the progress and prosperity of the country. Every success for each of us is a small step forward for the country. But a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and I hope that our organization is a pure organization, an organization where everyone is a gentleman. Therefore, the organization does not refuse everyone to make money in a good way, but the organization strictly prohibits everyone from opportunistic tricks and disasters to the country and the people. ”

Wang Qiu asked: "If you want to strengthen the country and enrich the people, how can you seek personal interests?" ”

Yang Chao waved his hand and said, "Definitely." Our production and industry development is nothing more than the common people making a fortune, and the general truth is all reasonable. Therefore, if you have the ability to make money, it is also beneficial to the country, but when you make money, you must not evade taxes. When you are officials, do not take bribes. That's the way to go. That's what a gentleman does. ”

"Therefore, this official encourages everyone to set up factories and develop businesses if they have the opportunity in the future, earn the money that should be transferred, and pay the taxes that should be paid, which is for the country and the people. If you want to be an official, if you are an official, you will suggest that the imperial court give high-ranking officials generous grace, so that the gentleman can also have dignity, so that he can not be greedy. ”

In their opinion, being an official should be honest, Hai Rui is a good official, and Zhang Juzheng is like that, even if he has merit in the country, he still has a loss in private morality. A good official is a clean official, he should be clean and poor, he wants to be a good official, enjoy a good reputation, and want to get a good fortune, where is there such a good thing, is it not in line with heavenly reason.

Xiucai don't know that if the salary of officials is not enough for them to live a decent life, the vast majority of people will choose to use their power for personal gain, of course, the result is that the character of a very small number of officials who read to the bones is revealed, these people can be written into the history books without greed, and what they are dealing with is actually an embarrassing history.

What Yang Chao wants is a value system that is generally not greedy and allows an official's quality to be judged by personal ability and contribution, rather than by personal morality.

"Now we're an organization, right?"

These people don't understand, Yang Chao will slowly explain to them, what is important at the moment is to unite these people together first and unite around themselves.

"Yes!"

These people have been stunned by Yang Chao for a few days, and now they only know in their minds that they came together because of the goal of a strong country, and the people who became an organization because of a common goal, and they didn't think much about it, and a few people with flexible minds also realized that something was wrong, but they didn't dare to oppose it directly.

"Is anyone going to quit?"

No one spoke.

At this time, these people did not realize that they were joining an organization that had never existed on the land of China, an organization that had been formed in the form of a modern organization.

"Since it's an organization, let's build an organizational structure now according to what I taught you."

"First of all, we have to decide on the name of our organization, which is different from the Westernists. Our fundamental goal is to strengthen the country and enrich the people, so I suggest that we take the country and the people! ”

"Do you have any comments?"

Yang Chao asked.

No one has an opinion.

But Yang Chao is not satisfied: "I suggest that we have a formal way of organizing expression, and that is voting. In our organization, there is no distinction between adults and small people, they are all like-minded brothers, everyone is equal, commensurate with you and me, and commensurate with brothers. All major matters in the organization must be voted on by the members and brothers, and they are voted on by a show of hands. Now agree to call the raising of hands of the powerful country and rich people's society! ”

All thirty raised their hands.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "Okay, since it is organized, it also needs organizational discipline and organizational structure. Any organization must have a leader, and a snake cannot be without a head. Let's start voting together, who do you think is suitable to be the president of our strong country and rich people? Write a name for each person. ”

Yang Chao wrote without exception.

Yang Chao is not pretentious: "Since the brothers trust, but they still have to go through a form, now vote and agree to Yang Chao's gesture as president." ”

After seeing everyone raise their hands, Yang Chao nodded: "Then now I will announce a few disciplines as the president, and everyone will continue to vote." ”

"Article 1: The president shall be elected by a vote of all members, and only two-thirds of the members shall approve the appointment. The nomination of a candidate for president must be jointly nominated by at least 10 people, signed by a joint signature, and submitted to the election committee established at the time of the election for approval before it can be established. Everyone voted. ”

Unanimously passed.

Article 2 The President has the right to appoint the head of the company's internal functional departments. I now propose to divide the functional departments into four, one is the finance department, one is the logistics department, one is the publicity department, and the other is the organization department. The Finance Department will be in charge of the company's public funds and will be responsible for the allocation of various expenditures within the company. The logistics department is in charge of the distribution of materials in the company and is responsible for the procurement of required materials. The Propaganda Department is in charge of the propaganda tasks of our society and is responsible for spreading the purpose of our society. The Organization Department is responsible for the code of conduct of all members, records bad records, and recommends the admission or cancellation of members. Vote now. ”

"Article 3: All members of our company must obey the will of the company and must not refuse for various reasons. If the individual and the group disagree, they should obey the organizational arrangement, but they can appeal to the organization for communication, and must not be passively contradicted, otherwise they will be expelled. Vote now. ”

Yang Chao's three articles were all passed.

"I now appoint Li Sidi as Minister of Finance; Pan Xun is the Minister of Logistics; Wang Qiu is the Minister of Propaganda; The head of the organization will be Wu Peifu first. ”

After Yang Chao finished speaking, he glanced at Wu Peifu with a mustache.

"This appointment, I hope that everyone will work hard, actively serve the brothers in the society, and must not have the intention of being officials, we are all public servants, serving the members now, and serving the people in the future. Now let's talk about our future development plans......"
