Prince Consort

Yao Dingyan is not in a happy mood recently.

Because he doesn't like Shen Jingqing recently, and he doesn't like to look left and right.Looking at the people around Xie Zean again, Yao Dingyan felt even more unhappy. It is said that Xie Zean and Fu Yannian and their party had a party two days ago, which caused congestion in the bridge city in the eastern suburbs, and many silk handkerchiefs thrown at them were floating in the river .

As a result, Xie Zean and his party were forced to shift positions.

This romantic anecdote has become a topic of conversation after dinner in the capital. One person said "Xie Sanlang" is good, that one said "Fu Guanren" is not bad, and then there are several other handsome young talents.In short, Xie Ze'an's contacts are all first-class talents, no matter how you look at it, people like it.

More importantly, it can stand the test of glasses!As soon as Yao Dingyan put on his glasses, he understood why Shen Jingqing and Du Wan were so unpleasant in court.It's not that their facial features are not correct, but that they face treachery, and they are not good people and good officials no matter how you look at it...

Xie Ze'an visited Yao Dingyan and happened to see Yao Dingyan writing.

He obediently stood aside, and glanced curiously at what Yao Dingyan was writing.

Judging people by their appearance is the lost son Yu.

Xie Ze'an showed a meaningful smile, with a bit of cunning.This is what Confucius said.Tantai Mieming, also known as Ziyu, originally wanted to be a disciple of Confucius, but Confucius took a look and turned his face to the ugly, seeing that he was not a good person, so he refused to accept him.Later, Tantai Mieming had outstanding talent, noble conduct, and many followers, and he became very powerful.After Confucius knew this, he sighed and warned himself and his disciples not to judge people by their appearance.

Why did Yao Dingyan write such a sentence?Obviously, he felt that he seemed to be making the mistake of judging people by their appearance, and he was introspecting deeply.

Xie Ze'an didn't speak, he pretended to be a quail and stood aside to grind ink for Yao Dingyan.

Yao Dingyan had seen Xie Ze'an a long time ago, and seeing his righteous ingratiating posture, he said angrily, "Mr. Xu, you were in the position, and you always avoided seeing him. Now that I'm in this position, you don't want to avoid it. Run to me when you have time."

Xie Ze'an said: "Anyway, I can't wash myself off by jumping into the Yellow River, so why should I care so much?"

Yao Dingyan snorted from his nostrils as he looked at Xie Zean's unruly behavior.Xie Zean really wanted to think so, but unfortunately no matter whether he threatened or lured him, Xie Zean always had his own ideas and would never unconditionally support all his actions like his other students.Xie Ze'an is still too stubborn, always obsessed with momentary right and wrong.In fact, if we want to carry out radical changes, how can we only focus on the immediate?Even if there is a little complaint at the moment, it will be beneficial in the long run.

However, Xie Zean was always able to "let go of the past", and came to discuss this and that with him suddenly.When he came back to it, Xie Ze'an begged chicken feathers from him for an arrow, and went back to fiddle with his own ideas.

Yao Dingyan looked at Xie Ze'an, who had a dead pig face and was not afraid of boiling water, and felt a little bit at a loss for him: "What do you want to do?"

Xie Ze'an said: "It's nothing, I just want to discuss with you how to deal with the profits of 'storage' and 'loans'. My opinion is that infrastructure construction must be done well. As the saying goes, 'To get rich, first build roads' , I am thinking about repairing the roads in various places according to the profit and loss share of the loans in various places."

Yao Dingyan frowned.

Qingmiao Qian is also profitable, bringing [-]% of the profit to the imperial court every year.Where did the [-]% go?According to the original plan, part of it was hidden in the treasury for relief in times of famine; the other part was used as military pay to support military reforms.These two places are big holes, they eat up the national treasury every year, and there is no money left every year in such a big celebration!

The "storage" and "loan" that Xie Zean engaged in was initially dismissed by everyone.Isn't it just Qianzhuang?There are so many money houses in the world, but I don't see them making a lot of money.

No one expected such a situation: Xie Ze'an and Zhang Dayi are people who can make a fortune even from scratch. Once they have a large amount of assets in their hands, the profits will simply roll in.Xie Ze'an has a keen sense of business and advanced economic concepts, and Zhang Dayi has extraordinary management and business capabilities. The two of them worked together, and the funds collected by the agricultural cooperative increased tenfold in less than a year.

This astonishing fact shocked many people. They even forgot the last sentence of "struggling with the people".

At this moment, they had only one idea in their minds: go back and quickly call the merchant responsible for "supporting" them to find Zhang Dayi to see if they can get a share of the pie.

Zhang Dayi has always been bold and righteous, and those who worked with him in the early years are now making a lot of money.Carefully count the number of companies that are currently ranked, which one is not close to Zhang Dayi?Thinking about everyone's basic necessities of life today, which one is not "produced by Zhang's firm" as the first choice?

Unknowingly, the agricultural cooperatives have "cooperated" with merchants from all over the world, but those who want to play on their own will eventually be eliminated because they lag behind others.

Yao Dingyan regretted not taking the agricultural cooperative into his hands at the beginning.

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more.What Yao Dingyan considered was Xie Zean's suggestion. Xie Zean wanted to build roads, which was a good thing, but this route was built by the cooperative, and more people would think about the benefits of the cooperative in the future.Why do so many people come back to their hometown to build roads and bridges?The purpose is to gain a good reputation and improve his status in his hometown.

Xie Ze'an was obviously playing up his mind again!

Yao Dingyan said: "Building roads is a good thing, but how to build them has to be carefully considered. If it fails to be completed halfway, it will be a joke."

Xie Ze'an said: "There is no need to worry about this. Even if the cooperative does not have enough money, there is nothing you can do." He smiled slightly, "I went south a few days ago to inspect the newly completed Dinghai Dike. The Dinghai Dike stretches Ten miles, after five years of repairing, it was finally completed. This seawall was built on the order of the late emperor, but it did not cost much money. Most of it was generously donated by merchants from all over the world—what they asked for was to write their names on the inscription for future generations to understand their contributions."

Yao Dingyan frowned even harder.Merchants have a lot of money to a certain extent, what is there to look forward to?They want status, they want status like crazy, Xie Ze'an's approach can not only make them more respected, but also make their descendants stand up and tell the merits of their ancestors.

Xie Ze'an obviously grasped the psychology of the merchants.

Yao Dingyan's head turned quickly: "Are you going to erect a monument on the side of the road, recording those who made deposits, loans, or direct donations?"

Xie Ze'an rubbed his hands together and said, "Sir, that's a good suggestion! After listening to what you said, I was immediately enlightened, so let's do this..."

Yao Dingyan: "..."

He raised his hand and slammed Xie Zean on the head.

This kid really deserves a beating.

Xie Ze'an clutched his head and screamed for pain, but there was a sly smile in his eyes.

This is indeed what he intends. Infrastructure construction is a must. We can take the opportunity to expand the business scope of agricultural cooperatives and attract more people to deposit and loan. Why not do it?Anyway, engraving a monument is just a simple thing.He is planning to hold a solicitation event on the "Xun Bao" to call on scholars from all over the world to recite poems and compose Fu, promote his hometown, and choose some good ones to engrave on the inscriptions, which will not only appear literate, but also make a good publicity incidentally. Why not?

Of course, many people are unwilling to engrave their own poems and merchants' names together. He must help them establish a correct attitude that this matter is actually very noble and meaningful, enough to make them immortal, and encourage them to break their heads Take the initiative to write it out.Speaking of this level, no one will care about the little details anymore!

Xie Ze'an said: "Road construction is only based on [-]% of the profit, and the rest can be used for your "Farmland Water Conservancy Law" and "Fangtian Average Tax Law", sir."

Yao Dingyan laughed angrily.It is true that he proposed these two new laws, but Zhao Chongzhao handed them over to Xie Jiyu. The reason is that Xie Jiyu has been in charge of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households for a long time and is familiar with this aspect!

After all, Xie Ze'an didn't want to support his father.

Yao Dingyan said: "These two methods are naturally to be supported, what about the "Baojia Law"?"

Xie Ze'an knew there was a door as soon as he heard it.He deliberately did not mention the "Baojia Law" when he said it, in order to make Yao Dingyan let go of his own initiative.If Yao Dingyan said it himself, then this matter can obviously be settled! Although Xie Jiyu was not in charge of "Baojia Law", Xie Ze'an also supported it very much. For nothing else, he could agree to the person Yao Dingyan chose this time.

Perhaps it is because the ability to "know people" has been greatly improved after wearing glasses. The person in charge selected by Yao Dingyan this time is Zeng Zigu. He is a staunch supporter of the new law, but he is not someone who blindly follows Yao Dingyan.Zeng Zigu has outstanding political achievements and a good reputation. Under his administration, new laws are often modified according to local conditions, so that the new laws can better adapt to local conditions.The area he is in charge of is one of the few areas that has not been out of the basket.

Zeng Zigu returned to Beijing for an assessment at the end of the year, reunited with Yao Dingyan, and had a good talk. After the "Baojia Law" and two other new laws were proposed, Yao Dingyan thought of Zeng Zigu, and after discussing with Zeng Zigu in person, he decided to hand over the "Baojia Law" to him.

Zeng Zigu was well-known, and Xie Zean respected him very much.What's more, the "Baojia Law" is good. It regards rural households as "guarantees" as a unit, with five households as one guarantee, five guarantees as one major guarantee, and ten guarantees as one metropolitan guarantee.The wealthiest households served as the head of the security, the head of the big, and the head of the capital. During the slack season, each head of the security was responsible for presiding over the "military training" and turning the people into soldiers; at night, the security guards took turns to patrol at night to maintain law and order.In this way, military expenses can be saved, and a strict security network can be established, which is a very good thing.

Since it is so reliable, of course Xie Ze'an doesn't mind giving full support.

Xie Ze'an said: "I have always admired Mr. Zeng. The "Baojia Law" will be implemented by him, and the cooperative will definitely contribute as much money and energy as possible."

Yao Dingyan heard what Xie Zean meant, and said angrily, "You mean you would ignore it if you changed someone else?"

Xie Ze'an said: "Of course I would care if it was someone else, but it also depends on who is changed. If it is Du Wan and Shen Jingqing, I will definitely not agree."

Yao Dingyan looked at the "judgment by appearance, Ziyu who loses" on the table, and his brows twitched even harder.He said, "Why? I remember that you had no enmity with them."

Xie Ze'an said: "What enmity are you talking about in the court?" He looked at Yao Dingyan calmly, "If you say that there is enmity, Mr. Yao, you recommended Shen Jingqing to His Majesty before, but His Majesty didn't like him. Instead, he reused the one I recommended. People. I reckon he's been holding a grudge..."

Yao Dingyan frowned when he heard Xie Zean's outspoken words: "How do you say that?"

Xie Ze'an said: "Sir, do you think there is something wrong with the Taixue reform presided over by Li Shilang?"

After Yao Dingyan thought for a while, he remembered Li Minglin.He happened to have been to Taixue at the end of the year, had a chat with Li Minglin once, and was very optimistic about Li Minglin.He said: "Li Shilang has done a good job, even better than I expected."

Xie Ze'an said: "But Li Shilang is so dedicated, but Shen Jingqing and Du Wan are stuck in the assessment of Taixue, trying to give them a bad rating. I think except that he has a grudge against me or Li Shilang. Besides, there should be no other explanation."

Yao Dingyan's face darkened after hearing this: "I will ask the matter clearly." After speaking, he stared at Xie Ze'an again, "I found that you are a debt collector. Every time you come to the door, you either want to benefit or ask me to come forward."

Xie Ze'an sighed shyly: "That's because you are kind to me, sir!"

Yao Dingyan: "..."
