Back to the Republic of China as a commander

"Secondly, the roads in the counties under Wang's jurisdiction must be rebuilt and paved with bluestone slabs. Ten commercial towns are set up at equal distances along the roads in each county. These commercial towns are stationed with road guard troops, and all the governance rights are handed over to the The town’s chamber of commerce only takes [-]% of the taxes generated by the government. In order to maintain security, the towns should also distribute half of the income to the villages that belong to the town to avoid robbery due to poverty.”

"The third article is the reform of the government. County councils are established in each county. My opinion is that the village chiefs, patriarchs, and well-known local business gentry are the members of the council. The county chiefs of the counties will not be appointed by me, but directly by the council. Elections, county affairs, county magistrates and government departments only have the right to propose and execute, and the decision-making power belongs to the parliament.”

"The fourth article is about business operations, um, it's the trading business you mentioned. Hongtong oil and opium will undergo changes from today. The Zhang family, the Zhu family, and the Liang family are headed by the establishment of the Hongyou trading company. The major oil companies All merged, the company is responsible for controlling the output and price of Hongyou. To ensure fairness, the shares of the three companies are equal, totaling 200%. Excess transactions must be reported to the company, and heavy taxes will be imposed. Within a three-year limit, a drug and smoking ban campaign was carried out. The army and government officials were not allowed to smoke opium, and they would be dismissed immediately. Local fields were not allowed to grow opium, and they would be shot. At the same time, the General Administration of Smoking Ban was established, and transit opium was charged at a standard price of [-] yuan per load. Taxation. As for the director of the bureau, I think Mr. Liu Qishan Liu will be in charge. Other industries remain the same, but the timber industry will set up the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau, and Mr. Chen Hongji will be the director of the bureau. After the dinner, please stay with Mr. Liu, and we will talk about the specific matters later."

Liu Qishan turned pale when he heard the first half of the fourth sentence, and Wang Zhenyu actually excluded him from the tung oil business.What can I do?Before he could figure it out, he heard that Wang Zhenyu had appointed him as the director of the General Administration of Smoking Abuse. He immediately understood that this was a fat vacancy, which meant that his Liu family would control the entire opium trade in Xiangxi in disguise, and immediately rubbed his hands excitedly. .

"Article [-], Hongjiang was established as a mansion, under which were Fenghuang, Mayang, Luyang, Qiancheng, Anjiang, Chenzhou, Yuanzhou, Xinhuang, Yongsui, Baojing, Guzhang, and Longshan counties. In addition, Yuan Three large wharfs will be built where the water and Wushui meet, and the Port Authority will be established for unified management. The first wharf is set up at the location of Furonglou, named Qianzhen, where all goods that go to Chenshui, Wushui and Wushui are collected ;The second wharf is set up in the existing wharf of Hongjiang Town, where the goods from the Yuanjiang River gather; the third wharf is set up in Anjiang Town, where I will live in the future, so that it will not affect the governance of the Hongjiang government. By the way, wait a minute After the dinner, the six bosses, Xu Dongfu, Liu Songxiu, Chen Kunshan, Yang Zhuqiu, Zhou Zhiyun, and Yang Jinsheng, also stayed to drink tea and not leave in a hurry."

The choice of Anjiang was the result of a chat last night. Based on his years of experience, Ye Zuwen told his son-in-law that Anjiang is a place that can be used as a foundation.This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack militarily. Politically, it is located in the central part of western Hunan. Economically, it is close to the Yuan River and has convenient water transportation. It is simply a natural base.Although Wang Zhenyu hadn't seen the actual scene, but after hearing this, he basically agreed.

The five orders of Wang Zhenyu, the new official, shocked the big and small businessmen of the Hongjiang business gang, and they couldn't digest so much information for a while.On the one hand, they were surprised by the new king's familiarity with the Hongjiang area, on the other hand, they smelled different flavors from these five orders.

After the dinner, everyone hastily bid farewell to Wang Zhenyu, and it seemed that they had gone back to find someone to discuss and make up their minds.

But no matter how you discuss it, no one will have any resistance to Wang Zhenyu's five orders. Now all fools know that the new five orders will greatly help everyone's business. The benefits obtained are obvious. As for the political status of members of parliament, this was unthinkable in the previous dynasty!What everyone really has to worry about is how much benefit they can get from this huge change. Everyone understands the truth that only by keeping up with the situation can we continue to develop.

Xiangxi Development Company caused a sensation in Hongjiang like a thunderbolt on the ground.

After the dinner, Liu Qishan was the first to enter Wang Zhenyu's study, where Wang Zhenyu and He Jian were already waiting for him.On the other side, Ye Zuwen was drinking tea with Zhu Zhida, Liang Xiangfan, Zhang Jingkun, and the six named by Wang Zhenyu just now in the main hall next door. While drinking, everyone was listening to Ye Zuwen's son Ye Guoxuan explain what the so-called Xiangxi Development Company is. , almost everyone listens to what is serious and careful.

For Xiangxi Development Company, Liu Qishan still doesn't have a clear idea, but he knows that he is now on a road to take off.If Wang Zhenyu really handed over Hongjiang's opium business to himself, the future and status of the Liu family would be unimaginable.Thinking of this, Liu Qishan's legs even trembled with excitement. Looking at the study window illuminated by the oil lamp, he took a deep breath and stepped inside.

Wang Zhenyu changed his arrogance just now, stood up very kindly to welcome Liu Qishan's arrival, and asked him to sit down.

After Wang Hu brought the tea, he cautiously retreated outside the study to act as a guard.

Wang Zhenyu chatted casually with Liu Qishan, while He Jian sat and listened without saying a word.

In fact, He Jian didn't know why Wang Zhenyu let him sit here. Could it be because he had dealt with Liu Qishan before.For this boss who is younger than himself, He Jian feels that he can't see through, can't figure it out, and even has a little fear.But these are not important, and soon he will know why he is here.

"Director Liu, please sit down!" Director Liu immediately made Liu Qishan feel that his whole life was different. In the past, some called Boss Liu and some called Mr. Liu, but Director, this is an official status.Moreover, he is also the director of the No-Smoking Bureau, and he has a real lack of seriousness plus a lack of fat. Not to mention his flattery, the favor for Wang Zhenyu's promotion is naturally beyond words.

"In front of the commander's seat, how can the subordinates have a place to sit?" Liu Qishan actually answered in a decent manner, which almost made He Jian's eyeballs fall to the ground after seeing his arrogance.

Wang Zhenyu stood up, took Liu Qishan's hand, pressed him on the seat, and then sat down by himself and said, "What subordinates are not subordinates, the future construction of Xiangxi will require the joint efforts of Director Liu and other colleagues. Please come here, I mainly want to explain the smoking ban, so that you can do it more clearly and easily.”

Liu Qishan hurriedly stood up and bent down, saying, "But according to Commander Wang's orders, Liu will do everything in his power and do everything he can, and he will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Wang Zhenyu was very satisfied with Liu Qishan's understanding, and he said softly, "That's right, what I think is that Major He Jian will serve as the deputy director of the General Administration of Smoking Abuse in the future, but he will not intervene in the specific affairs of the Bureau. Preparations for the establishment of the Smoking Administration I will arrange someone to do it, but Director Liu is still responsible for the command and dispatch. In addition, there is the issue of the annual anti-smoking tax. What I mean is this, [-]% of the annual tax revenue is handed over to the finance (headquarters), and [-]% is allocated to the anti-smoking It is used by the General Administration, and the other [-]% is used by Deputy Director He. Director Liu, do you have any additional comments on this plan?"

Liu Qishan's eyeballs were spinning in his eye sockets, and he quickly settled the account. Based on the minimum of 1000 million in previous years, he can divide a full 100 million.Moreover, as the chief of the bureau, he will be exempted from any repayment or engulfment. If the traffic can really be improved as Commander Wang said, the scale of his business can be larger and the profits can be more.

He immediately knelt down and was about to kowtow to thank him, and Wang Zhenyu hurriedly helped up the lakes: "No, this is not the former Qing Dynasty, and you are not a slave. Now you are the director of the government's smoking ban. This etiquette and rules have to be compared with The times are advancing and we need to change.”

Only then did Liu Qishan smile awkwardly, still expressing his gratitude.It wasn't him who was most excited, but He Jian who was sitting by the side.

Chapter 093 Guarding Envoy ([-])

Wang Zhenyu just came to Hongjiang, and he didn't even have a servant girl, so naturally he wouldn't have the courtesy of asking his servants to serve tea to treat these merchants.Everyone didn't care about these imaginary things, and they all stood respectfully on both sides.Even if Wang Zhenyu is a fool, he also understands that these gangsters are standing here not to see how handsome he is, but to know how he will treat them!

Wang Zhenyu knew that he was young, so he must not fall behind at this time. Why did Jiao Dafeng die in Changsha?It is because he is too young, too young to be self-confident, so he asks everything, but the gentry and bureaucrats of the Advisory Bureau suppress him in arrogance. In the end, he lost even the strength to protect himself.

Wang Zhenyu also knows what the group of people in front of him means to him, and if he can control it, it will be the help and source of income for his future development.If I can't control it, I will be backlashed by this group of people. If so, why not take advantage of my army here and wipe them out clean and easy.

Therefore, Wang Zhenyu decided to take the lead. He had to overwhelm them in terms of momentum and clearly let them feel his domineering (what does this thing look like?) "Fathers, folks, bosses, Mr. Wang is very happy to meet you here. This Hong Jiang It is a bright pearl in Hunan, and all the bosses are the mainstay of Hongjiang, and Wang knows it very well.” Then he coughed twice, and continued to speak in an official tone: “Wang also hopes that your business will prosper with Hongjiang’s prosperity, but There is no such thing as a circle without rules, and Wang invited everyone here today to establish a rule."

Here it comes, here it comes, the big businessmen know in their hearts that the big event is coming, whether it is to send money, donate or repay, how much is it?

Wang Zhenyu stood up, first nodded with a smile on the helm of the four major families, and then continued: "Scholars, farmers, businessmen, business is the end, this is a tradition for thousands of years. Wang is not talented, and he wants to change this tradition. I don’t have this power yet, but in Hongjiang, Wang wants to change, to change this rule. For the long-term development and prosperity of Hongjiang, this businessman cannot be at the bottom. These words are by no means empty guns. Jingzhou has already started to implement it, so Hongjiang will do the same in the future, so the future prosperity of the place will depend on everyone working together with Wang."

This is also the Republic of China. In the former Qing Dynasty, Wang Zhenyu's words are definitely enough to destroy the ethics, and the crime is so heinous that the emperor will personally award him a plaque of a famous sinner.

Even if he said these words now, it would stir up a thousand layers of languor with one stone, so all the merchants stared at the young man in his early twenties in dumbfounded.They still don't know what kind of regulations this new master of Hongjiang is, but they faintly feel a trace of freshness and change. Some people who know about Jingzhou's political reform even have a glimmer of expectation.

"Wang has some decisions, and I will tell you today." Wang Zhenyu walked in the main hall with his hands behind his back.

"The first one is shipping. Wang plans to send engineers to dredge the entire Yuanjiang waterway within a year. At the same time, he will establish a Yuanjiang shipping company to purchase a large number of coal-fired cargo ships and specialize in Yuanjiang freight. Everyone here can buy shares. Let all the bosses At least double the output of goods."

The merchants' eyes suddenly brightened. The entire Yuanjiang River was densely covered with dangerous shoals, and ships were often destroyed, people were killed, and both people and goods were lost.It is this kind of risk that businessmen fear most.

"Secondly, the roads in the counties under Wang's jurisdiction must be rebuilt and paved with bluestone slabs. Ten commercial towns are set up at equal distances along the roads in each county. These commercial towns are stationed with road guard troops, and all the governance rights are handed over to the The town’s chamber of commerce only takes [-]% of the taxes generated by the government. In order to maintain security, the towns should also distribute half of the income to the villages that belong to the town to avoid robbery due to poverty.”

"The third article is the reform of the government. County councils are established in each county. My opinion is that the village chiefs, patriarchs, and well-known local business gentry are the members of the council. The county chiefs of the counties will not be appointed by me, but directly by the council. Elections, county affairs, county magistrates and government departments only have the right to propose and execute, and the decision-making power belongs to the parliament.”

"The fourth article is about business operations, um, it's the trading business you mentioned. Hongtong oil and opium will undergo changes from today. The Zhang family, the Zhu family, and the Liang family are headed by the establishment of the Hongyou trading company. The major oil companies All merged, the company is responsible for controlling the output and price of Hongyou. To ensure fairness, the shares of the three companies are equal, totaling 200%.
