The germination of capitalism in history textbooks is defined in the Wanli period. Because Xu Yuanzuo entered Daming from a commercial town like Zhuli, he had never been in contact with the countryside in the real sense. Looking at the county seat and county town, it is a scene of prosperous business and prosperous people, and I always think that the Ming Dynasty has entered the commercial society.

It wasn't until the statistics came out that we could see how strong the empire's agricultural attributes were.

After all, there is still a long way to go.

"We only have 640,000 taels, why can the county government get 10,000 taels? Isn't the county honored already receiving the full amount? A director asked.

Cheng Zai was slightly embarrassed and said, "This can be regarded as filial piety to the county." It's just that the county is very honest and refuses to take it privately, so it is included in the public account. ”

Xu Yuanzuo glanced at the director who raised the question, there was no contact in the past, and it was the minority shareholder who inscribed it. He looked at Hu Chen again, Hu Chen understood, and said consciously: "After all, there are a lot of expenses in the county, and there can't be no silver at all." As the saying goes, the county order is the foot warmer of the big family, even if it is a handmaid, she occasionally has to reward the box of rouge. ”

- It makes a lot of sense, but it sounds so unpleasant!

Xu Yuanzuo didn't like others to make fun of Zheng Yue so much. He is Zheng Yue's disciple! If you didn't know that Hu Chen's words were somewhat self-deprecating, it would be really easy to misunderstand that he was provoking.

Hu Chen once served as a magistrate in Yunnan, and returned to Tang Xing with a disgraced face, but he still felt that it was more comfortable to do business in his hometown.

Everyone laughed, Xu Yuanzuo clapped his hands lightly, and said: "Everyone knows the matter of silver, I have one more thing to say here: we are all people with net worth, don't do those things that are poked in the backbone by Xiangzi." Since the national tax is not paid, the roads that should be built and the bridges that should be paved should be paved. The warehouse that should be built, the learning that should be helped, none of them should be missing. ”

"For the sake of wealth and benevolence, wealth can last for a long time." Yuan Zhengchun put a table on Xu Yuanzuo.

Xu Yuanzuo nodded at Yuan Zhengchun, and said: "There are many things that we think are doing good deeds, but they are actually more beneficial to us." Let's just say that the release bridge of ten miles south of the city. After the bridge was repaired. It takes three or five miles less to travel from Tang to the county seat. For ordinary people, what is three or five miles? However, for our businessmen, a mile of road is the cost of a mile of road! No matter how long "Business Classic" is, in the final analysis, it is only four words: reduce costs and increase efficiency! Reduce costs and increase benefits. Walk three or five miles less at a time, save one or two cents of capital, what about ten times? What about fifty times? What about five hundred? Think about it, isn't that the truth? ”

Everyone bowed slightly, feeling that Xu Jinglian did look at problems differently from ordinary people, as if he could always see the essential root of things.

"Donations can be used as tax credits. Is it just for the sake of a name for charity? Xu Yuanzuo continued: "I don't think so. It's more to get the money to be used where we need it. What do we need most right now? ”

He stopped abruptly and looked around at the directors.

The directors also looked at each other, and finally heard a word squeezed out of Yuan Zhengchun's throat: "Road".

The water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense and the shipping is developed. The cost of water transport has also been lower than that of land transport. If the goods carried by ordinary small boats are taken by land, people eat and chew horses, and the transportation cost will immediately go up. Moreover, the familiar waterway is safer than the land route, so there is no need to worry about many accidents such as horse stumbling and reel damage, road rage and robbers.

Now there are night ships coming from Zhejiang. The real sunset is coming, and it doesn't delay things at all. Although there is a saying of starry night gallop on the land route. But everyone knows how dangerous it is to rush at night.

Since the waterway has such a big advantage, why do Yuan Zhengchun and Xu Yuanzuo think about the landing route?

Jiangnan is a staggered water network, but it is not the future water world after all. The natural river channel and the artificially dug canal cannot penetrate every point of Huating and Songjiang. It's like someone with an excellent voice, who can crush many singers by shouting casually. But if he can further study and practice hard, master more singing skills. Is it like a tiger with wings?

"My Renshoutang is mainly engaged in dental and tax packages, and I am most sensitive to the word 'logistics'. The waterway is smooth, the land route is flat, and our cost is much smaller! Only by accurately estimating the time when the goods are in transit, can we properly arrange the warehouses and warehouses. Everyone is a businessman. A day when the warehouse is empty is a day's worth of silver thrown away for nothing; If you ask someone else to borrow a warehouse, it will be another expense. And if this cost is to be reduced, the road must be completely in our hands. ”

Xu Yuanzuo popularized the knowledge of logistics and left a little time for the directors to think about it. Later generations of students studying business administration know about Toyota's zero inventory management, and most people praise it from a management perspective, but without Japan's developed infrastructure, it is only a flower in the water.

"That'...... Are we going to build roads? The previous director hesitated: "Does this need to be resolved by the general meeting of shareholders?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo was noncommittal, and said: "Whether we build the road in the name of Renshoutang remains to be considered. However, everyone has a lot of dividends this year, and there will definitely be more next year, but you might as well think about it yourself, take out a little, and do good deeds. ”

Everyone said:

"My family has to give soup every year."

"The New Year is approaching, and the neighbors always have to give a hand."

……

Xu Yuanzuo was in no mood to listen to their self-promotion, and said calmly: "My family has no foundation, and there is no way to do good deeds." However, I heard that the Yunjian Public Welfare Guangji Association specializes in this, and donating to them can also make a name for themselves. I'm going to donate three to five thousand taels to them, and I'll leave it all to them. ”

"Hehe, Jing Lian has a good way, if you have money to contribute power, I will also contribute three thousand taels." Yuan Zhengchun is deaf and clear-sighted, and of course knows the relationship between the Xu family and the Yunjian Public Welfare Cantonese Association.

In fact, as long as he is not blind, who doesn't know that the principal of this Cantonese Massure is Xu Fan. If you ask who Xu Fan is, please look at Xu Ge Lao, and then look at Secretary Xu.

"Hehe, I don't dare to compare with the two, so I'll donate two thousand taels." Hu Chen said with a smile.

"Hehe, a small family in the Han family, donate a thousand taels. Shame shame shame ......"

"Hehe, don't just attach the flies, donate a thousand taels......"

……

There are nine directors and Cheng Zai, a total of ten people, and none of them escaped. Chairman Yuan Zhengchun took the lead in donating 3,000 taels, vice chairman Hu Chen donated 2,000 taels, other directors each rolled 1,000 taels, and chief treasurer Cheng Zai donated 500 taels.

INTERVIEWER It seems that we will be able to hold a charity fundraiser in the future.

Xu Yuanzuo secretly said in his heart: This kind of blatant solicitation of donations is not my intention!
