"Kerou, the magistrate of this Jing County is not good, but you must not think about it, the magistrate of this Jing County in this dynasty, it is difficult to weigh the interests of all parties, but not to deal with the power. Nanhai County takes Foshan Town as the pivot, Foshan Iron Smelting, Foshan Steel Industry, Foshan Fabrication Bureau, Xikou Porcelain Industry, Nanguan Silk Weaving, and every family is the overall situation of more than 10,000 people. Fight for people, land, roads, and water, and they must not be clean at all times. If you can break down the stakes and distinguish them clearly, convince all parties, and call you fair, the door of the government will be open to you. ”

"I heard that the concubine is going to meet in Foshan Xingwu Dao, and the peace of Nanhai County is probably the top priority."

"Then don't worry, Jingxian is rich, and the staff of the canonical history, inspection and law department are all sufficient. And remember, whether the sheep is to distinguish between interests and disadvantages, or to appease the situation, those directors of the county public bureau, you have to be thoughtful and let them speak out, but you must also understand whether he is for the private interests of his family or his township. ”

"Thank you for mentioning the point, I was in Yangjiang County before I took office, and I also had experience with the transfer bureau......

"This is outside, don't be disrespectful, just call me Yuchun, come on, first He Kerou will be promoted."

In an ordinary restaurant outside the Guangzhou City Government, Cheng Guise, the prefect of Yingtian, and Zheng Fan, the new magistrate of the South China Sea, are raising their glasses to drink, Zheng Fan has just been transferred from Yangjiang to the South China Sea, and the South China Sea is Jing County, as Cheng Guijing said, as long as he shows the ability to be competent for this position, the next step is the future of the government.

Zheng Fan went up from the pawn, and he had a lot of experience all the way, and in the eyes of many people, he was still buried in the place, which was really condescending, but he didn't feel any grievances. As the magistrate of Yangjiang, he does have a feeling of ambition. Plan industries for industry and commerce, strive for subsidies for farmers, promote the construction of roads and bridges in a county, and persuade the public bureau to invest as much as possible in medical and health education. In just over a year, Yangjiang County has changed little by little as he wanted.

When His Majesty first met the emperor, the emperor's words, he was deeply touched at this time, "You are still a parent official, but you are not going to teach your people to be filial to the court." Help them to build their careers, let them be happy, let them learn to discern between what is right and what is wrong, let them get used to relying on the law to make decisions for themselves, and let the private interests of all your people be gathered together for the common good, and not for the private interests of all to become a life-and-death dispute.........

Now taking over Jingxian, Zheng Lei is facing a new test. The evaluation of the county is now a complex system, with schools, roads, hospitals, water conservancy, relief, public security, and other undertakings all having indicators. Nanhai County has abundant finances and taxes, and the hardware indicators are no longer too worried, and how to get more points on the public bureau is the key to him continuing to climb to the top of his career.

Zheng Mat's goal is to be the governor of a province. The official system of this dynasty is different from that of the previous dynasty, although it is also divided into court officials and foreign officials, but everyone no longer attaches much importance to the distinction between the court and the outside, and pays more attention to the distinction between fields, just like entering the industry. Nowadays, there is a saying of "nine streams" in the official field, that is, the official career is roughly divided into nine elements: "business, law, literature, soldier, criminal, work, planning, communication, and inspection", among which the local chief official is the "through" stream, and it is difficult to change careers between different streams.

The reason is very simple, now when you are an official, you have to do practical things, if you don't understand this line, it is difficult to be competent, and if you do a line for a long time, then you are also dedicated to one line, and it will be troublesome to change careers, unless you have the characteristics of the court or even the emperor. And the respective ways of these nine streams, with the writings of the pioneers, have increased day by day, and gradually become a kind of learning, and the imperial examination has gradually expanded to these nine streams, and it is even less likely that the officials in the future will cross the line.

Zheng Fan and Cheng Hangse were talking about the changes in next year's imperial examination, and suddenly there was a noise next door, and they vaguely heard the word "emperor", and the two immediately raised their ears to listen carefully.

Cheng Guiyu sighed: "Earlier, when the "Min Daily" was published, the censor was already negligent, but he didn't mean that yesterday's "Yuexiu Shiyuan Bao" was a reoccurrence incident, and the two servants of Tang Yang deliberately wanted to embarrass the official family? ”

Zheng Fan said in a sullen voice: "The official family is ...... After all, it was not appropriate, although it was secretly fighting with Fujian merchants and Qing court spies, but it still damaged the hearts of the people. The official family can borrow the hands of others to operate, so why bother jumping in by yourself and leaving a handle for others, the official family has made a big profit after all. ”

Cheng Guise shook his head: "It's a big profit, if the official family doesn't handle it personally, the middleman is too selfish, what if something bad happens?" ”…,

Zheng Wen has her own opinions on this matter, but she is still unconvinced: "In the past six months, how many people have cried, how many people have sunk into the river, but the official family has taken profits, which is not a good thing." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard someone outside shouting and scolding: "What kind of miserable are you? Zhang Heizi also jumped into the river, who made him dare to be a big fool with a small street merchant, borrowed 3,000 taels of silver, and wanted to go to Bo!? The notice issued by the court, the couplet at the gate of the stock market on Yutou Street, he has a virtue with you, and he doesn't look at it! It's no wonder that the official family came, they just asked for themselves! ”

Another person chimed in: "It is said that more than 100 taels per share, for those of us, it is a harvest of one or two years, and a surplus of money for three or five years." If you really want to buy, it is enough to bury your head in the dividends. If you want to chase the rise and kill the fall, this is not something we can afford. The official family has not collected the wealth of our old people, and it is all the wealth of people like you who are not greedy enough! ”

The scolding man said in circles: "Why am I not the surname of Lao Baiyuan anymore?" Why am I not!? If you allow him to make money for the emperor's house, you won't allow me to lose my wealth and curse people? A newspaper said that the old man of the imperial history asked the emperor to publish the share capital account of the Qingtian Gongyuan Division, and asked everyone to see how much money the emperor had earned, and the emperor refused on the spot. The emperor himself is empty-hearted! ”

Zheng Turtle shook his head: "This is a matter of being scolded after all, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get rid of the stain on this trip.........

Cheng Guise looked at him, smiled wryly and shook his head: "The official family carries this infamy, but it is for everyone."

Zheng Fan frowned, everyone? What does this mean?

Cheng Guise glanced at the people outside who were talking about whether the emperor had earned five million or eight million, and said leisurely: "The people around the official family did make some money, including a few mothers, but the official family itself didn't fall into the pockets of a single copper."

Zheng Qiu's eyes widened suddenly, the emperor didn't make any money? Isn't the Aota Corporation Division his?

"My clan, Cheng Yingde, has a very good personal relationship with Xiang Huailiang, the general director of the Qingtian Public Division. Lao Xiang said in person that before the official family went to sea, he specially took care of the shares of the Qingtian Public Estate, transferred all the shares of himself and several mothers to Sanjiang Investment, and added some other silver called what is called the foundation of the gold into the Qingtian Public Corporation. ”

Cheng Guise held the wine glass, and his eyes reflected the light of the wine, showing a trace of confusion, which was a kind of admiring emotion. He swallowed the glass of wine and said to the stunned Zheng Mat: "You know this thing. ”

Zheng Wei nodded, of course he knew that this was a new policy implemented by the court at the beginning of the year, regardless of martial arts, anyone who served as an official for more than two or ten years would be given a knighthood. In addition to a series of special rights, such as the ability to recommend children to the academy, the knight will also have a knighthood, although it is not as high as the official salary, but the pension is enough.

However, the official court had mixed reputations for this new policy, because the officials wanted to deduct 10% of the money and accumulate it as a future knighthood, although the court said that it would also be subsidized, but everyone did not believe it.

Cheng Guise said: "The official is now linked to the price of the property, and it is adjusted every three years. After more than ten years, ten or two years, if you want to let the person who has gotten the knight's money still be able to support the elderly, it is enough to rely on the deduction of one percent of the money? The one percent that you and I deducted is not a simple accumulation, and the court also paid the same amount, which was gathered into a knight's gold, and then operated to make a profit. ”

Zheng Lei took a sip of wine into his mouth, and was about to go down his throat, when he heard this, he coughed and coughed.

He understood, in the capital of the Qingtian Gongyuan, there was also the knight's gold of their official boss! The emperor made a lot of money in the stock market, and he was actually helping the civil and military officials earn pensions!?

Of course, it's not just Jue Jin, just at the same time as Zheng Zan sprayed wine, in the grass hall of Wuya Palace, Li Xian sighed, put a list on the bookcase, and sat Tang Youzeng and Yang Chongdou left and right, you look at me, I look at you, and the confrontation lasted for a long time before Yang Chongdou, who was still angry on his face, reached out and took it.

"After reading it, it's good to know it in your heart, don't spread it. If I see the newspaper, I don't recognize it, and I still talk about it to the outside world, and I earned the money myself. ”

This is the list of shares of the Qingtian Gongyuan Division, Tang Yang and the two dispatched the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and failed to force the palace to Li Shi, so they simply went into battle in person, and Li Shi must give an explanation, let him explain how much money he earned. First, they wanted to find out how big Li Shi's appetite was, and on the other hand, they also wanted to dig some out of Li Shi and fight for the budget of Menxia Province. …,

Yang Chongdou flipped through it, felt that it was wrong, and then looked back, looked at it, frowned tightly and asked carefully: "Your Majesty, why is there no ...... on this list?"

Li Xian nodded: "There is no me, of course there is no more, when I went to sea, I had already transferred all the shares of me and the back garden, Qingtian Gongyuan Division, there was no copper in it." ”

Yang Chongdou was shocked, Tang You had grabbed the list and flipped through it hurriedly, and the more he looked at it, the redder his face became.

"Civil and military attaché jue jin!?"

"College Scholarship!?"

"Zentang Reserve!?"

"There will be a prison bounty!?"

"Army and Navy Disability Pension!?"

The old-aged, the disabled, the poor, and the new share capital of the Qingtian Public Corporation, all of which are these "foundation funds." "It accounts for one-third of the Qingtian Public Corporation. At the beginning of operation, the principal of these basic funds was very small, but in the stock market, following the rotor of Qingtian Gongyuan, the expansion has increased by as much as seven or eight times, and it can already operate independently.

"These basic funds, after which they will be withdrawn from the Qingtian Public Corporation, will be established as the supervision of the Planning Department, and will be invested in the treasury bonds to protect the capital and make profits, and will no longer enter the stock market to fight."

Li Shi tasted the faces of the two waiters and said idly.

"Your Majesty." Your Majesty...""What a profit!? ”

Yang Chongdou woke up like a dream, and asked stupidly.

Li Shi's words seem to be true or false: "I also want to, but it's a pity that all my money is invested in Sanjiang, invested in steel, machinery, shipbuilding, medicine and other industries, and I can't take it out if I want to." So only the concubines in the back garden can get the silver and make a fortune with the Qingtian Gongyuan Division. ”

Peng Xianzhong, who was on the side, finally couldn't sit still, and raised his voice: "You always don't believe it, Your Majesty has always been selfless!" Even a few ladies are raising money for official business. The concubine Niangniang is going to hold a martial arts meeting and rejuvenate Chinese martial arts. Concubine Hui wants to run a general association of arithmeticians, popularize arithmetic, and train more arithmeticians. Concubine Niangniang wants to run a general affairs college, Concubine Xian Niangniang wants to run a large library open to the public, and Concubine De wants to donate money to the medical school, and there is no silver to fall into the private pockets of His Majesty and Niangniang! ”

Li Xian waved his hand to stop Peng Xianzhong, who was a little excited, and said with a straight face: "What is the meaning of silver to me?" Even if the money is in hand, it will have to be spent, where is the flower? Buy another emperor to make? In my words, Luzon can become my private property, so why bother to ruin my reputation in the stock market? ”

The two attendants looked kinked, and wanted to bow down and apologize, but when they heard this, their waists straightened again, Emperor, haven't you ruined your reputation?

Yang Chongdou said hatefully: "Your Majesty, why bother to defile yourself!?" ”

Tang You once deeply felt the same way, the Qingtian Gongyuan Division won this great profit, and there were three beneficiaries, one was the old man of the Qingtian Gongyuan Division, who was the first person from Long to help Li Shi establish the country with blood and sweat. In the previous dynasty, the princes had already treated each other with important ministers. But except for some who can do practical things, other old people, such as several princes, have no officials and no lords, and the loneliness makes them, the ministers who have climbed to high positions, feel a little uncomfortable.

This part of the people followed to eat some profits, and everyone had nothing to say, and the other part of the beneficiaries were Li Xi's concubines, but Peng Xianzhong made it clear that Houyuan had its own business, and it was all for the country.

The third-party beneficiary is the court, and expenses such as the jue money fall on the officials, while some other charity, cultural, educational, medical and health undertakings are difficult to take care of in addition to the court's regular expenses.

Li Xian's face was already indifferent: "Tell everyone the truth, it is said that it is from the old man Long, Chao Yuan Court and my backyard are collecting money, and it has nothing to do with me, what do you think?" If you don't look at anything else, you will look at the court. The stock market was opened by the court, and if it was not opened by me, the court lost its credibility, so how could the stock market continue? So. ”。” I had to carry this black cauldron. ”

Tang Yang and the others heard that this was the emperor's desire to protect the reputation of the court, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice some of his reputation for the sake of protecting himself and the court.

Tang You once kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty's plan is far-reaching, and the painstaking ministers have not been able to understand the ...... of the covering."

Yang Chongdou also kowtowed, but had another complaint: "The ministers are blunt, Your Majesty is planning this, why bother to hide the ministers and others, and make the monarchs and ministers suspicious!?" ”

Li Xian smiled: "If I don't hide it from you, the news is flying all over the sky, so there will be fish on the bait in the stock market?" ”…,

He helped the two of them up, and then said: "This is not self-defilement, don't think of me as a saint, I let the old man of Houyuan and Qingtian take profits together, this is indeed selfish, and I have no intention of denying it." I want to let my people see my selfishness, so as to help me build a new foundation for this country. ”

New roots?

Tang Yang and the others were puzzled, there was a lesson from the stock market incident, and they didn't dare to be negligent anymore, so they hurriedly asked.

Li Xi will not hide this, this is not a calculation, roughly speaking, the two old bureaucrats still do not understand very well, Li Xi said again: "Many listed companies are also going to hold shareholders' meetings, you can pay more attention to the truth and specific articles of association." ”

At the restaurant outside the Ying Tianyuan Mansion, Cheng Guise said to Zheng Dian solemnly: "The official family will not admit this matter, whoever says it publicly, who wants to eat and hang, you just swallow it in your heart." ”

Zheng Fan only eased up at this moment, and sighed: "The official family is really going." "Well-intentioned."

The next door had been depressed before, but now it was loud again, not a shout, but a mixture of joy and incomprehension.

"Nanyang Corporation is going to hold a shareholders' meeting!"

"Not only Nanyang, but also listed companies such as Bo Ni, Foshan Iron Smelting and so on are going to be opened, as long as there is a share in hand, they all have the right to vote."

"What about the big shareholders...," what is it? ”

"In fact, it is the public bureau, what board of directors is elected, and the charter of the manager is formulated, and the general director of the public department is the chief or the county magistrate."

"That's a difference! Listed companies are the property of our shareholders! A company with a share capital of several million taels cannot account for the majority of the company's general director. ”

"The "Shareholders' Handbook" issued by the "Industrial and Commercial Express" makes it clear that the board of directors can remove the head office, can determine the scope of operation of the company, and can decide how to distribute dividends, which is the real proprietor, and the head office is just a shopkeeper."

"Oh, I have shares in Nanyang Corporation, does that mean I have a chance to be elected to the board of directors?"

"Dream on you! The election and decision of the board of directors are based on the number of shares, to put it simply, how many shares are accounted for, and how much power is there.

You're only one share, so that's what you're going to do. ”

"You also have the shares of Nanyang Public Corporation, let's put it together, it's two shares, and if you find some people, you can always enter the market to have a long look and see what this election is all about."

"That's right, we retail investors can get together, let's go, first go to touch the venue, the selection place of the Nanyang Public Park Division is in the warehouse of Qingpu Wharf."

Listening to this discussion, Cheng Guiyu and Zheng Fan didn't care much, it was just business.

But they didn't realize that the spirit of business would soon enter the state ...... ）
