"There are 190,000 yuan of grain stamps issued in the entire north this year, and 460,000 yuan of grain stamps are circulating in the market, which is the same as the treasure money issued by the whole Ming Dynasty for more than ten years."

Closed-door meetings of the Technical Development Department, the Technical Division, the Finance Department, the Artisan Guild.

Dozens of technical stewards argued fiercely.

"According to the instructions of Xiao Wangye, the funds invested in technology are the core projects of China Heavy Industry, so next year the Ministry of Finance will allocate 9.5 million yuan of special funds for technology research and development."

"Are you crazy?"

Minister of Finance, the God of Wealth of China Heavy Industries, Cai Wen looked at Xiao Jiu of the Technology Department with an incredible face.

Cai Wen has a headache for these people who deal with technology.

Their thinking is so incomprehensible that they can't communicate with them with common sense.

Xiao Jiu was not angry, but looked at Cai Wen in wonder, he himself was not wrong, but it was only according to five percent of the food stamps issued last year.

Cai Wen didn't look at Xiao Jiu, he was no longer willing to quarrel with Xiao Jiu, and he had had enough of Xiao Jiu's anger in the past few years.

If it weren't for Xiao Wangye, he would have ignored Xiao Jiu a long time ago, and he looked directly at the minister of the Ministry of Technology Development.

The minister of the Ministry of Technology Development said with a smile: "Xiao Jiu, the food stamps issued are not the profits of China Heavy Industry, they are the circulation of the society, and they should not be mixed up. ”

"It's done."

Xiao Jiu snapped his fingers and counted them one by one: "Although the Technology Division is still a division, there are many separations below. ”

"Miyun, Jinzhou, and our Daxing, each big factory has its own technical research."

"They all applied for R&D funds from the Daxing Technology Division, and I think they should be invested, so 9.5 million yuan can be spent."

Xiao Jiu's logic leaves people speechless.

Cai Wen couldn't help but want to get angry, but finally held back.

As the head of the finance department of the headquarters, no one really dares to give Cai Wen a bad feeling, but the technical department makes Cai Wen angry.

Cai Wen ignored Xiao Jiu, and directly communicated with the minister of the Ministry of Technology Development and said: "The management of the Technology Department is chaotic and needs to be rectified. ”

The head of the Ministry of Technology Development calmed down, thought for a while, and then said to everyone kindly.

"The Technology Department has been really messy these years."

"Because of the management level of the Technology Department, coupled with the technical departments that have sprung up in various places over the years, in short, it is a mess."

"But there is no denying the excellent results that the technical staff have achieved over the years." ”

"Under the large-scale development of the factory, more technologies to improve efficiency are needed, and these needs have been solved by the Technology Division, overcoming one difficulty after another, which is praised by the little prince himself."

"No one can deny the merits of the Technology Division, but the management of the Technology Division has also kept up, and while maintaining its merits, it has developed more quickly and soundly."

Che Yulu said a lot of words, but he did not mention the detailed regulations, and Cai Wen directly interrupted the speech of the minister of the Ministry of Technology Development.

Cai Wen does not have this patience, it may be the influence of professionalism, Cai Wen is more professional and meticulous.

"Nine and a half million yuan is impossible, even if the little prince is here, I am the same sentence."

"Last year, the Ministry of Finance allocated a total of 376,325 yuan for the research and development funds of the Technology Department."

"This year, the Ministry of Finance has made a budget of 560,000 yuan for the Technology Department, an increase of about 15 points, and there is no discussion on this matter."

Cai Wen said solemnly, and looked at the minister of the Ministry of Technology Development seriously, with a stern tone.

"The Daming Science and Technology Association at the end of the year, all the award funds are 50,000 yuan, and they will also be deducted from this budget."

"No matter how Xiao Wang Ye looks at it, the Finance Department is not satisfied with the management chaos of the Technology Development Department."

When the Minister of Technology Development heard Cai Wen so faceless, his face also darkened, but he didn't dare to offend Cai Wen.

This is Cai Wen's confidence.

All the departments have to ask him for money.

The three words God of Wealth are very heavy, and even Zhu Gaochi has to give face, and the finance department of China Heavy Industry is the most critical department.

If the finance department does not make mistakes, China Heavy Industries will not make mistakes.

In the countless meetings that have passed since the end of the year, there are many quarrels like this closed-door meeting, and very few can maintain harmony.

In the end, Cai Wen sued Zhu Gaochi.

The year is over, but it is not calm, and the things that Zhu Gaochi needs to face are suddenly ten times more than usual.

made it difficult for him to even take care of Zhu Di in Ying Tianfu.

The Minister of Technology Development took Xiao Jiu from the Technology Department to explain to Xiao Wangye.

"The first Daming Science and Technology Conference, because the achievements of previous years need to be included, the bonus of 50,000 yuan may not be enough to pay."

"What's even more excessive is that it has to be deducted from the budget, and the finance department only gave 560,000 yuan, a mere 560,000 yuan, and nothing can be done."

Hearing Xiao Jiu's words, Zhu Gaochi also felt a headache.

560,000 yuan, that is, 560,000 taels of silver, this is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, not the middle and late Ming Dynasty when inflation and Western trade silver flowed.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the system of allowing taxes in kind was allowed, so that the value of silver in the market was very high.

This is not like the late Ming Dynasty, nor is it like the widespread circulation of silver in Qing Dynasty society.

In short, the silver at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty was very valuable.

In Xiao Jiu's mouth, it turned out to be a mere 560,000 yuan.

I really don't know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt are expensive.

"The upcoming Daming Science and Technology Conference is divided into the Physics and Chemistry Award, the Invention and Application Award, the Mathematics Award, the Biology and Medicine Award, as well as the Cultural Award and the Social Theory Award required by Xiao Wangye."

"And the achievements of the previous years must be counted, at least hundreds of people have won the award, and the 50,000 yuan bonus is divided, and each person is only 500 yuan."

Even the minister of the Ministry of Technological Development couldn't listen anymore.

Five hundred dollars.

The annual salary of the minimum wage standard of China Heavy Industries is 12 yuan, and it takes 42 years to save without eating or drinking.

Originally, Zhu Gaochi was also a little unhappy, but hearing some of Xiao Jiu's words calmed down Zhu Gaochi.

"Xiao Jiu, you have been separated from the lives of ordinary people for too long, you can't just devote your energy to research and development, but also live a normal life."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's words, Xiao Jiu shook his head indifferently, "I'm doing well." ”

Well, Zhu Gaochi can't be tough on Xiao Jiu.

"How many of this year's awards are summarized by the achievements of predecessors, and how many are newly developed technologies based on the achievements of predecessors?"

"Each award is discussed by me and many masters, according to our evaluation, seventy percent of the technology, in essence, still belongs to the Tang and Song dynasties, two percent of the technology has been optimized in the ancestors, and one percent is a qualitative breakthrough."

"However, most of this success has been developed this year, especially in the biological and medical aspects of Jinzhou, as well as the iron-smelting production machinery in Miyun, and the improvement of bridge technology in the Ministry of Railway Engineering."

"Then there is the breakthrough in ammonia, which has made the production of chemical fertilizers have been qualitatively improved, and the new refining technology of kerosene in the coke refining process."

Speaking of technology, Xiao Jiu is at his fingertips, he doesn't have to think about it, and he speaks it extremely fluently.

Zhu Gaochi no longer has an opinion.

Xiao Jiu may have many disadvantages, but he also has many advantages.

What Zhu Gaochi values most is Xiao Jiu's character.

Xiao Jiu's current status and qualifications, not only did he not suppress it, but he also did not covet the achievements of others, so that the technical atmosphere of Beiping did not form a gate valve.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

In ancient China, because of the imperial examination, the family gate was broken, and the Tang and Song dynasties developed to an extremely high level of civilization.

Equally.

What the scientific industry is most afraid of is the gate valve, and the gate valve is the biggest obstacle to the development of science.

Although Xiao Jiu's management level is not good, he has made the development of Beiping craftsmen to this day, and hundreds of thousands of yuan of capital are invested every year, but no gate valve has been formed, which is the greatest credit.

"So be it." Zhu Gaochi gave Xiao Jiu an idea: "The bonus of the Daming Technology and Technology Association will be borne by the palace, and the bonus of 50,000 yuan will be borne by the palace." ”

"The palace is so rich?"

The minister of the Ministry of Technology Development looked at Xiao Jiu in horror, how could this person dare to say anything.

Zhu Gaochi smiled helplessly, "The palace will definitely not be able to come up with this money, but the palace has this appeal." ”

Let the clerk send away the Minister of Technology Development and Xiao Jiu, and Zhu Gaochi explained another matter to the clerk's room.

"Encourage businessmen to donate, and the bonus of Daming Technology and Technology Association in the future will form an atmosphere of donations by businessmen, and invite businessmen who donate to attend the meeting."

This kind of thing to improve social status is extremely willing for businessmen, and it is a win-win situation.

The method that Zhu Gaochi came up with quickly received a response.

Zhang Dehui, who was the first to learn the news, took the initiative to find the Technology Development Department and proposed that he would be awarded the prize for the conference.

He spends 50,000 yuan a year on this, and the minister of the Ministry of Technology Development incredibly agreed.

As a result, the minister of the Ministry of Technology Development agreed too quickly, and many businessmen rushed to donate money in order to get a showmanship.

In the end, the Minister of Technology took the initiative to come to Zhang's Mansion and apologize to Zhang Dehui about the fact that Zhang Jiayi would bear the bonus.

Zhang Dehui is old and refined, and he will not easily offend people, and he is also relieved.

At last.

Zhang Dehui donated 10,000 yuan.

Hop Kee & Co. donated $10,000.

In the end, a share of 10,000 yuan was retained, which was shared by several other commercial banks.

The number of firms that donated money was fixed at nine.

Zhang Bo of Heji Commercial Bank knows that the forces behind Heji are weak and weak, and they are not as good as these old commercial houses in Zhangfu.

In order to ensure that he can also be eligible to participate next year, Zhang Bo proposed to calculate the prize money of the second year's conference one year in advance.

Soon, even the bonus of the second year's Daming Technology and Technology Conference was preemptively registered.

Because of the idea put forward first, Heji got a donation quota again, this time donated 20,000 yuan, and next year's conference has not yet started, there is already a bonus of 70,000 yuan.

"Zhang Bo is really flexible, and he won't miss the slightest opportunity."

The oldest businessman in Beiping, Zhang Dehui also had to sigh, "There are talented people in the country"
