Chapter 213 Mastering the Country
After the New Year's Eve dinner held in the palace, Fang Hao stayed in the National Teacher's Mansion and did not go out.

Someone came to visit, but he didn't show up. Anyway, he is a monk, and a reason for retreat is enough.

Although he didn't practice much, he copied books every day, so he really didn't have time to socialize.

During the Chinese New Year wave, he received a lot of gifts.

The previous charity auction had already let everyone know that the current national teacher doesn't like those luxuries, but only likes gold, so this time all gifts are gold.

Of course, those princes and ministers who gave gifts are all elegant people, and they would not do such lowly things as giving gold directly.

The gifts are all gold, but they are all gold jewelry, not gold ingots that can be used as currency.

For example, dogs made of gold, inkstones made of gold, pens made of gold, etc.

Although Fang Hao would melt these gifts into gold after receiving them, at least after going through such a procedure, neither the giver nor the recipient would be so embarrassed.

Chinese New Year is a big festival, and there are many gifts.

Although there is some gap compared with the value of the meeting gifts that Fang Haoxin received when he took office, it is still considerable.

Those golds add up to tens of thousands of taels.

This also made Fang Hao sigh, how easy it is for powerful people to get rich in this world.

There is no need to do anything outrageous, as long as you wait for others to give gifts during the Chinese New Year, you can be full.

After the Lantern Festival, the members of the disaster relief office who went to the disaster area to perform tasks returned to the National Teacher's Mansion one after another.

Everyone is here, it’s already February.

Running all the way is quite hard.

But after accomplishing such a thing and saving so many people, they also have a sense of accomplishment.

This disaster relief office is under the establishment of the National Preceptor's Office, which is also part of the imperial establishment. Therefore, their salaries are paid by the imperial court and are not paid by Fang Hao personally.

However, the salary set by the imperial court is not very high, especially since most of their members are only officials, not officials, and the salary is lower.

That is, the point where you can barely support your family.

Fortunately, these young people still have passion and want to do some practical things, and they don't care so much about salary.

Otherwise, few people are willing to do such hard work with such a salary.

Fang Hao also didn't want to treat them materially poorly.

After they came back, regardless of their position, everyone was rewarded with 100 taels of silver.

This reward came from Fang Hao's personal pocket.

These staff members did a great job, brought him a golden wheel of merit, and gave them some material rewards, which is also what they should.

100 taels of silver per person, more than 200 employees of the disaster relief office, that is, more than 2 taels of silver, is really nothing to Fang Hao who received 3000 million taels of silver from the treasury.

But for most employees, that's a lot of money.

100 taels of silver, the purchasing power in Taiqiu country is quite good.

These employees were former imperial students studying in the Imperial College, and most of them were from ordinary families. They were very excited to get so much money all at once.

It made them feel that not only spiritual civilization can be improved, but material civilization can also be improved by working with the national teacher.

After all the personnel from the disaster relief office came back, Fang Hao called them for a meeting.

The first is to review the situation of disaster relief, what kind of mistakes were made, and how to deal with them if it happens again.

This time the disaster relief activities are finished, but the Taiqiu country is so big that it is impossible to guarantee what kind of disasters will occur in the future, and such activities will still be held at that time.

It is necessary to sum up experience.

The members of the disaster relief office in each province have previously made a summary. This time, the plenary meeting is just a concentrated discussion of the experiences and lessons summarized by the five provinces.

This process took three to four hours.

The whole process was recorded by Fang Hao with his mobile phone. At that time, a special person will watch the video and organize it, and then compile it into a book, which will be used as a guidance document for future disaster relief work.

After the review, it is about planning for future work.

Fang Hao mentioned the cooperation between the National Teacher's Office and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry, and pointed out that for a long time to come, the key work of the National Teacher's Office will be carried out around two offices and three groups.

Here he asks everyone for their opinions, whether they want to work in an office or in a group.

Go to the office to work, and the future development path is to become an official.

If you work in a group, you will have a lot of freedom and your economic conditions will be greatly improved, but you will be a businessman in the future, so don't think about becoming an official.

He respects everyone's opinions and does not engage in such things as forced dispatch.

If you want to be an official, make arrangements to go to those two offices.

If you want to be a businessman, arrange to go to the three major groups.

At the beginning of the discussion, those Tai students were not very willing to work in the group.

This is an official-based agricultural society, and businessmen have a very low status in this society. They prefer to be officials rather than businessmen.

However, during the discussion, Fang Hao also explained to them why the two offices were not affiliated with the Imperial Academy and why they had to fund the establishment of the three major groups themselves.

The main reason is that after I leave the National Teacher's Office, the new National Teacher will dismiss them.

It is relatively safer to attach the office to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry.

In addition, the establishment of three major groups, without seeking official status, will have greater independence, and can continue to develop education and industry when the imperial court changes policies.

He also took the country of his birth as an example and mentioned how the status of businessmen and entrepreneurs would be improved in the process of a society transforming from an agricultural society to an industrial society.

Some cases where state capitalists were even able to control the regime were mentioned.

This kind of description made many people change their minds, and felt that joining the group seemed to be a good job.

Fang Hao said to them:
"In the future, the landlord class will definitely be overthrown, and the era of entrepreneurs will inevitably come. If you take this step first, get the technical support and financial support I provide, and you will be able to monopolize all the nascent industries in this country .When the industry, education, and media of this country are controlled by you, this country is controlled by you.”

These words made many people's hearts beat.

It is indeed possible.

Master education, master the future of this country.

Mastering industry means mastering the economic lifeline of the country.

If you control the media, you control the public opinion of the country.

With all three in your hands, you can indeed say you have the country in your hands.
