Chapter 99: The Umbrella of the People (I)
In the next few days, Datang Qianzhuang received many squires from the villages below, who came to take loans on behalf of their relatives, friends and farmers. In addition, those employees of Datang Qianzhuang also began to take the initiative to go down to the grassroots level to explain and publicize the so-called agricultural loans to farmers, so that farmers can take the initiative to take loans. It turned out surprisingly well, because everyone wanted to resume production sooner so that they could get through the storm sooner. And the private sector actually has a lot of talents, and many people have already calculated that the loan of ten yuan should be able to be paid off if you work hard for four or five years, and even have some surplus. This money has already helped them estimate, and they can still be dissatisfied with anything.
Moreover, because of Li Junxian's foresight, he took precautions against Datang Qianzhuang, a "state-owned enterprise", so as not to have any bureaucratic ideas. Li Junxian set a lot of performance appraisal methods for the employees below, so that they all had to work hard to complete the standards, otherwise they would be deducted from their wages or kicked out. Li Junxian actually quoted the enterprise management system of later generations to manage this Datang Money Village, so at present, the vitality is still very good, and the service attitude is also very good, which is better than the industry of many other merchants.
"Knock knock......" A drum beat sounded.
Everyone looked at the place where the sound sounded and found that a group of people were walking in the direction of Datang Qianzhuang, as if they were still holding something in their hands, and they didn't know what it was.
They came to the gate of Datang Qianzhuang and stopped one after another.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" Li Junxian asked.
"General Li, we are here to deliver the umbrella of the people." The fellow who walked in front said.
"Wanmin Umbrella?" Li Junxian was a little surprised.
Li Junxian knows what the Wanmin umbrella is, and the Wanmin umbrella is the gratitude or expectation of the people to him when the ancient officials left office or took office. If this official is well-governed, fair and honest, and the people are happy, then the people will give him an umbrella for the people. Later, though, the thing went sour. When some officials are promoted, their subordinates will organize the people to send a people's umbrella in order to curry favor with him. And if he is demoted, then whether there is an umbrella for the people is a question of testing the official's observance.
Li Junxian didn't expect that as soon as he took office, someone would come to give him an umbrella, which is a bit unreasonable! The umbrellas of all the people were given when they left office, but they actually sent them themselves. What's even more ridiculous is that all the people's umbrellas are given to officials, how did they send them to Qianzhuang? Qianzhuang is just a "state-owned enterprise", not a yamen of the political axe, how can someone come to give the people umbrella to the personnel of this Qianzhuang?
"Are you mistaken, we are not the official yamen, why do you send us the umbrella of the people!" Li Junxian explained again.
How can others think that Li Junxian can't control it, but he must not say that this money bank is a government yamen, otherwise the employees below will kick their noses in the face. And in Li Junxian's eyes, state-owned enterprises are state-owned enterprises, and they must not be equated with the political axe yamen, otherwise there will be endless troubles in all aspects in the future. And aren't there enough lessons from those state-owned enterprises in later generations? Therefore, Li Junxian deeply knows that state-owned enterprises must not regard themselves as political axes and yamen.
"General Li, isn't this money bank established by order of the imperial court?" The fellow said.
"yes!" Li Junxian replied.
"Then since this is the case, of course it is the official yamen." The fellow replied very righteously.
Li Junxian was helpless, it seems that the ancients and later generations lacked too much theoretical foundation, and there were all kinds of knowledge. In later generations, an ordinary person could tell it, but the ancient people were stunned and had no way to tell it. In the eyes of the ancients, as long as it is a subordinate institution established by the government, it is naturally the official yamen. Now Li Junxian doesn't bother to explain.
"Fellow, you should give the Wanmin umbrella to the official yamen, why did you send it to us?" Li Junxian said.
"Datang Qianzhuang has helped us resume production, shouldn't we send it? We have now started to gradually resume production, so we would like to thank you. We people have nothing to be thankful for, we can only send an umbrella for all people. I hope that General Li and all the adults in Qianzhuang can shelter our people from the wind and rain like a big umbrella. The fellow said.
Li Junxian didn't know whether he should accept it or not, because he was not an official yamen, and if he accepted it without authorization, he didn't know what the impact would be. But when Li Junxian hesitated, someone took the initiative to come out.
"Fellow, we have accepted this Wanmin umbrella! Since it is a piece of the people's heart, how can we not accept it in Datang Qianzhuang? A female voice came.
Li Junxian followed the voice and looked over, this woman was Dugu Yiren. Dugu Yiren actually wanted to accept this Wanmin umbrella, but Li Junxian couldn't say anything for a while, so he had to let him accept it.
"Girl, are you?" The fellow asked.
"I am the president of Datang Qianzhuang, that is, the person who manages the entire Datang Qianzhuang?" Dugu Yiren explained.
"Isn't it General Li who manages the bank?" The fellow asked strangely.
"Li Junxian is just assisting me in management!" Dugu Yiren said very arrogantly.
Li Junxian almost vomited blood, he is busy now, this Dugu lady does not understand the operation of the banking and financial industry at all, and Li Junxian is currently busy working. But this Miss Dugu actually beat him up, saying that she was assisting him in his work. However, Li Junxian was too anxious and wanted to get the sprout of the financial industry out in one step. In fact, the Tang Dynasty had no theoretical basis for responding at all, and the only one who could have a certain amount of financial knowledge was Li Junxian himself, so could Li Junxian not be tired? All the work has to be carried out by Li Junxian from scratch, and Dugu Yiren actually has no real in-depth understanding of the financial industry.
And the next sentence of the fellow made Li Junxian and Dugu Yiren a little surprised.
"The girl is really beautiful, and General Li is really a natural pair." The fellow said thoughtfully.
"......" Li Junxian and Dugu Yiren were speechless.
Dugu Yiren was finally speechless by this fellow's words, but he still accepted the Wanmin umbrella, after all, this is a piece of the people's heart! The Wanmin umbrella is the honor that an official wants the most, whether it is a clean official or a corrupt official, he wants to get it. There are even some officials who make some farces for the sake of the people's umbrella, which is enough to show how important this thing is, and it can even be used as political capital.
And Dugu Yi people know that this time there is no arrangement, so it is true that these people sent Wanmin umbrellas, which means that they have opened a money bank that has initially achieved results.
