Chapter 5 Financial Crisis 3: The Rotating Hades System
Day 2, 7:20 a.m.
Walk up the steps along the trail, look up is a gilded treasure top paved with green glazed tiles, blue brick sill wall, trivial windows on the top, and three big characters of Mingchen Palace on the head. The whole is not much different from the Forbidden City building, but its doorpost eaves painting has local characteristics: it is a small ghost and two and a half people, and there is a saw that sharpens knives.
When I arrived at the Mingchen Palace, I turned east and entered the side room, which was a conference room with bright and clean windows. Although the whole of Hades is a large area of darkness, it enjoys abundant electricity, and several fluorescent lamps illuminate it like day, which shows that the faces of the Hades are haggard and tired.
Several halls of Hades are in the Hades conference room, in the middle is a large rectangular conference table, at the end of the whiteboard densely outlined some graffiti and symbols, messy scratch paper messy on the table and the ground.
The Hades are staggering, and it is estimated that they discussed it for a night yesterday and did not go back at all.
Seeing Li Jianguo coming in, the Hades came to their senses, and they all got up and said to Li Jianguo: "Master Li, come on, we have discussed some about the institutional setup of the central bank, you can help us palm our eyes!" ”
Institutional Setup of Central Banks......
I'm going to hit my own knowledge blind spot again.
Li Jianguo didn't panic at all.
Love what's the matter, anyway, no matter how nervous you are, it's useless.
Li Jianguo sat at the end of the long table, took the thick pile of scratch paper handed by the Hades King, and squinted his eyes and glanced at it.
"Article 4 The Governor of the Central Bank shall be appointed by the King of the Five Yamas, and the appointment shall be subject to the unanimous written consent of the other kings of Hades."
"Article 11 The promulgation of any decree of the Central Bank shall be signed by the President and the unanimous written consent of the other Hades kings."
"Article 19 The Central Bank is responsible for absorbing all the money from the sacrifices in the yang world, and converting them into new mortal coins according to the number of sacrifices each person has received, and distributing them proportionally. This ratio requires the unanimous written consent of all Hades. ”
"Article 33 The Emperor of the Three Palaces of Song is responsible for the purchase of the assets of the central bank, and this matter requires the unanimous written authorization of the other Hades kings."
"Article 42 The King of the Eight Palaces is responsible for the procurement of meals by the Central Bank, and this matter must be approved in writing by the other Hades Kings."
……
Unanimous written consent, unanimous written authorization, unanimous written approval......
Li Jianguo flipped through a few pages and found that each article required the unanimous consent of almost all the Hades, and even a few cubicles in the toilet had to be agreed by the Hades in writing.
Considering the area of the Hades Palace, even if everyone has no opinion on everything, then you have to run a big round trip to do something, and two days will pass.
In case one of the people in the middle disagrees, the clerk estimates that the knee pads will have to be worn off several times.
Li Jianguo raised his head suspiciously, glanced at the Hades Kings, and then at Cui Ling, who was sighing secretly.
Li Jianguo asked, "You all agreed in writing...... Is there really no problem? ”
The king of the four palaces immediately responded: "Look, I just said that this unanimous written agreement can't be done, right?" How can such a thing be done? ”
Li Jianguo nodded, thinking to himself: It seems that some of the Hades still have discovered the problem.
The king then said, "That has to be called unanimous authorization!" What is unanimous agreement? Now everyone is called authorization, which is the name of the modern management system! ”
The King of the Nine Palaces immediately retorted: "What authorization has to be called consent." Isn't it possible to disagree with the authorization? We don't give him the right to disagree, that's what he calls consent! ”
King Chu Jiang of the second hall slapped the table: "It has to be called recognition!" That's what we call it when we approve it! ”
King Taishan of the Seven Palaces: "I agree with King Chujiang's name on recognition, no, I agree with King Chujiang's name on recognition, I think it's called recognition!" ”
……
The Hades are like a puddle of water in a frying pot, and suddenly the frying pot is noisy, and the crown belt is flying, and the spit is flying.
Li Jianguo looked at all this expressionlessly, picked up the teacup, and took a leisurely sip of water.
No wonder Hades is inefficient.
Not to mention the lengthy decision-making process, now trivial matters require ten decision-makers to make a decision together, and it is already a high incense to be able to shoot a proposal that they all agree on.
After arguing for a while, it was estimated that they were tired of the quarrel, and all the Hades Kings invariably turned their eyes to Li Jianguo, showing anticipation.
The king said: "Lord Li, do you think it is called consent, authorization, or recognition?" ”
Got me talking again?
Li Jianguo thought about it carefully: "Or, let's not agree?" ”
The Hades looked at each other: "Don't agree? ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, look at Ang," Li Jianguo casually flipped out a few pages and scratched a few times to show the Hades kings: "All of these things need your consent, this is too delayed, even if we enforce the minority and obey the majority." ”
"By no means," King Yama said, "Lord Li doesn't know, we are all Hades kings, the same level, the same responsibility, if the minority obeys the majority, in case something happens, do you say those few people are wronged?" Besides, we all agree that we are also responsible for Hades. ”
Li Jianguo smiled: "Responsible? According to what you said, isn't it clear that you don't want to be responsible? ”
"Lord Li's words are wrong, of course we want to be responsible," King Ping waved his hand again and again, and added to Li Jianguo: "Actually, we haven't tried to obey the majority of the minority, at that time, the Monkey King wrote off the book of life and death, and the then King of Yama and King Chujiang had said in advance that the book of life and death should be kept as a backup, and the other kings of Hades thought that the book of life and death was huge, and if it was re-transcribed, it would inevitably cost a lot of manpower and material resources, so they did not agree. As a result, the great sage came over and ticked off the monkey word book twice, and we haven't made it up for more than 500 years, and since then, we don't dare to ignore the opinions of a few people, and there may not be any insight in it. ”
The king of the city also immediately said: "In his position, he plans to do his thing, if we are the king of Hades, of course we have to express our opinions, if we think that our opinions belong to the minority and become the shopkeeper, isn't this a corpse vegetarian meal?" ”
The Equal King's speech was unanimously approved by the Hades:
"That's it!" "It's not advisable to be lazy and lazy!" "I still have to do my best for the underworld......"
Li Jianguo vaguely felt that what they said was wrong.
But I don't know what's wrong.
Then go ahead...... What's the love?
Anyway, I can't do it myself.
The official king arched his hand again: "Lord Li, please help us decide this matter!" ”
I'll decide?
Li Jianguo waved his hand and excused himself slightly: "Is it a little inappropriate for me to be an outsider to decide the major affairs of the underworld?" ”
"Of course not, you are a high-tech talent in our underworld, an expert in the underworld, and you certainly have more say in this kind of professional matter."
Li Jianguo raised his eyebrows: "Really listen to me?" ”
"Listen to you!"
Li Jianguo stared for a moment, thinking about something.
Otherwise, how can Lord Bao say that the Ten Halls of Hades are the problem of the Hades, isn't this fighting each other under the banner of responsibility?
But no matter how much you think about it, agree, recognize, authorize, these words are not even trivial.
Do you really have to worry about this kind of thing?
Why do you have to run so far every time......
That's not as good as ...... Lazy?
"Really listen to me," Li Jianguo groaned, looking at King Yama, "Then I will entrust King Yama with full authority to act as an agent for the approval of the establishment of the central bank." ”
The Immortal King was shocked.
"And, I suggest," Li Jianguo continued, "change all the things that require the unanimous consent of the King of Hades to the consent of the King of Yama. ”
The Hades looked at each other and thought for a long time.
The King of Equality weakly asked, "What about us?" ”
"Simple," Li Jianguo said with a smile: "We are lined up, the things of these two months are all made by the king of Yama, the next two months are the king of Bian Cheng of the six halls, and the king of Taishan of the seventh hall in the next two months, and so on." Whoever makes the decision is responsible, and others can make suggestions. ”
"This, this ......"
It seems that the various Hades have some different opinions.
Li Jianguo replied categorically: "This is my judgment!" ”
I silently added in my heart: No one wants to stop me from being lazy, solve your own affairs, let me run a marathon every day to see you, who can stand it?
"Wait," the Eight Palaces City King said, "I see, Lord Li means that let's implement the system of rotating Hades. ”
Li Jianguo quietly picked up the teacup and took a sip, but he was shocked in his heart:
Yes? What rotation of Hades?
Yes...... Whatever, let him explain it himself.
"I've heard of this, just like the rotating chairman system of some enterprises in the yang world, several bigwigs take turns to make decisions to ensure decision-making efficiency and policy continuity. ”
The other Hades still felt unsure: "What if the decision is wrong?" ”
The king of the city said: "So Lord Li asked each of us to only be the king of Hades for two months, so that even if we are wrong, there is room for the king of Hades to fine-tune later." ”
All the Hades frowned and pondered, exchanging their opinions with each other in whispers.
Rotating Hades...... A path I've never imagined......
Since the establishment of Hades, it has been the ten Hades who have ruled Hades. Although there were several Hades kings in the middle, the system of the Ten Palaces of Hades had never changed. It is not that the Hades are unaware of the inefficiency of the system of unanimous consent, but there is no solution to it: leading cadres cannot speak their minds, they must promote democracy, and they must respect the minority. There seems to be little more to do than to agree to them all.
To this day, the system of rotating Hades has been proposed, taking into account efficiency and democracy, and other Hades kings will not lose their right to express their opinions.
High, really high!
And Li Jianguo, who can knock on the side and push the Hades to come up with such a countermeasure, is really worthy of the name of the first think tank in the Three Realms!
The brows of the Hades slowly unfolded in the exchange, and the haze that had accumulated on their faces before gradually dissipated, replaced by the joy and joy of discovering a new continent!
The kings of Hades finally understood Li Jianguo's good intentions, followed by good persuasion, earnestly taught, and did not point out the problem to the face, but to make you realize it yourself.
All the Hades kings said, "My lord, we have come to our senses. ”
Hades, I'm speechless.
"Then the construction of our central bank will be left to the sole responsibility of King Yama."
Li Jianguo suddenly remembered, and said, the words of King Yama......
"By the way, Lord Yama, I seem to bump into your daughter yesterday, I wonder how she is now?"
King Yama was sorting out the messy scratch paper on the table, and in addition to the joy of monopolizing power, he was also having a headache about how to change the documents, and when he heard Li Jianguo's words, he raised his head and replied: "Ah, yes, it just so far, my daughter has a few bills on the Hades to solve the crisis, open sources and reduce expenditure, and all of you Hades and Master Li are here, so it is better to call the little girl Qingxian over, and we will deliberate and deliberate together." ”
In a moment, the fifth princess Qingxian walked into the conference room of Ming Chen Palace in a capable black suit, which was completely different from the long skirt she met Li Jianguo last night. The eyebrows and eyes are completely devoid of the previous arrogance, full of tenacity and confidence, and the eyes are like a sharp blade, and they are not afraid to confront anyone head-on.
Li Jianguo sighed secretly in his heart: It can be seen that he is a ruthless corner.
Qingxian glanced at Li Jianguo, came in and sat down, beckoned, and instructed his side to distribute the materials prepared in advance to the Hades King and Cui Ling, but not to Li Jianguo.
"Oops," Qingxian said in a joking tone, "I forgot to prepare materials for Lord Li, but fortunately, Master Li is very smart, and he should be able to understand what I said without materials, right?" ”
The room was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and Cui Ling immediately handed his information to Li Jianguo, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Master Li, you use mine." ”
Li Jianguo just waved his hand lightly: "It's okay, you can talk about it." ”
Everyone admired Li Jianguo's bearing, elegance and intelligence.
Li Jianguo thought in his heart: What is nothing without materials, can I understand if I have materials?
Qingxian quickly spread out the materials, and then began to state his own governance plan, generally speaking, it can be divided into two levels, namely open source and throttling.
The open-source initiatives include raising tax standards, developing attractions in Hades, collecting tolls in Hades, and applying for financial support from the Celestial Realm.
Measures to reduce expenditure include firing government personnel, reducing infrastructure investment, and reducing transfer payments.
Although Qingxian's exposition is supported by detailed data and complete treatment plans, it is not difficult to see that the Hades still have doubts about the operability and subsequent impact of these plans.
"If we reduce infrastructure investment...... The development of the Hades community will be very affected, and in the long run, it will not be wise......"
"If the transfer payment is reduced, those orphans and elderly people who have no relatives and no reason in Hades will have no one to support, and they will not even be able to enter reincarnation at that time......"
The Hades Kings frowned and whispered to each other, and the King of Chu Jiang and the King of the Wheel shook their heads frequently.
Qing Xian cleared his throat, pressed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I know that the current plan is flawed, and in the long run, it will not be beneficial to the development of Hades. But we have to solve the existing problems first, and then we can think about the long-term planning, right? If none of the existing problems can be solved, what is the future? ”
The Immortal don't seem to be convinced, but there doesn't seem to be a better solution either.
After all, Qingxian is a well-known talented woman in the underworld, who has gone to the Western Hell for investigation, and has served as a temporary cadre in both the Yang and the Heavenly Realm for a long time, and has the title of Doctor of Economics with dual certification in the Heavenly Realm and the Western Hell, and her thesis is very influential both inside and outside the Three Realms.
From this point of view, the plan of Qingxian may be the most scientific and practical?
Once again, all the Hades Kings invariably looked at Li Jianguo.
Li Jianguo's eyes were three points of contempt, seven points of disdain, very confused, and one hundred points of understanding.
Once again, Li Jianguo didn't understand anything.
Therefore, Li Jianguo said: "I didn't understand it at all. ”
The corners of Qingxian's mouth twitched, and the disdain in his eyes poured out: "Of course, you are just a liar who is indiscriminate, of course you ......"
King Yama immediately shouted to stop Qingxian's words: "Girl, shut up! Don't you understand what Master Li means? If you don't understand your plan, how can you ensure that others can understand and implement it!? ”
"What? Father," Qingxian said in surprise: "Li Jianguo, he is obviously a liar, I have already said it so plainly and understandably, and it is his own problem that he still doesn't understand!" ”
"No," King Yama shook his head slowly, "From what I know about Lord Li, of course he knows what you are talking about, and he said this, which is to explain ...... He doesn't agree with you. ”
After that, King Yama looked at Li Jianguo expectantly: "Right, Lord Li?" ”
Li Jianguo nodded calmly.
Although he didn't think so, he felt that what King Yama said made sense.
It's decided, King Yama, you are my best mouth substitute in the underworld!
Qingxian was not happy, leaned back in the chair, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and pouted: "Then Master Li, can you tell me about your plan?" ”
King Yama immediately responded, and bent down to Li Jianguo and said, "Of course! Lord Li, please forgive the little girl for being rude, and I hope you can give us some pointers, so that the little girl can know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky? ”
Li Jianguo's heart thumped.
Finished.
How did my underworld mouth make me speak?
But Li Jianguo did not panic at all. Say a few words and let them realize.
So Li Jianguo leaned over and pressed his hands crossover on the table: "Then I'll say a few words." ”
Everyone's eyes were ignited in an instant.
It's coming! Master Li's pearl second solution!
The nerves in Li Jianguo's head began to run rapidly: What are you talking about......
Li Jianguo's throat moved up and down with difficulty: "Look, one of our problems now is that we can't pay wages to the underworld, and the underworld is unwilling to hook the soul, right?" ”
All the Hades Kings nodded one after another, and Qingxian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, wondering what Li Jianguo's dog mouth could spit out.
Li Jianguo didn't know what he was going to spit out, his eyes glanced at all the Hades kings, and none of them understood what he wanted to express.
What's the matter, isn't my mouth replacement finished yet? The nerve signals that are running fast in my head have been in a serious traffic accident, and now my whole brain is almost a mess......
Forget it, just say it, what about it......
Li Jianguo continued: "Is it possible that we don't send money to the underworld, but let the underworld send money to the underworld? ”
Li Jianguo regretted it when he said it: what the hell was he talking about?
How can it be? Workers pay money to capitalists? The capitalists have to cry when they hear this, and the slave owners have to call them insiders!
Li Jianguo hurriedly glanced at the people present: Hurry up, do you have anyone who can understand what I mean and find me some field?
The eyes of the Hades were deadly silent.
Li Jianguo had no choice but to continue to explain: "Well, I mean, let people who like to work pay their wages to the underworld, so as to solve the problem of no one hooking the soul...... You see, people who like to work have jobs, we have wages, we kill two birds with one stone, right, think about it. ”
It's over, and I can't go back at all.
Is there any other Hades king who can explain this kind of deadlock?
Li Jianguo picked up the teacup with trembling hands and took a sip of water strategically, the water in the teacup was very hot, but Li Jianguo swallowed it regardless of it.
The silent silence filled the entire venue like a burst of foam.
Everyone looked at each other or pondered, and no one tried to express any opinion.
Is this the legendary social death?
Li Jianguo felt that he had turned into a pinch of weathered yellow sand, gradually disintegrating and dying from the inside out.
It seems that his journey in Hades has come to an end.
Now not only people are dead, but also society is dead.
The next stop is the eighteenth layer of hell...... I don't know how the food is there......
A slightly confused but resounding word instantly swept away the silence:
"What does Master Lee mean ......"
It was the king of Chujiang of the Second Hall who spoke: "Do you change the work of seducing souls into a form of soul hunting?" ”
Li Jianguo's already dead eyes suddenly lit up.
The mouth is coming!
