Chapter 067: Scattering Wealth
Zhao Yu asked. "Director Zhuang, has the opening fee allocated by the imperial court been delivered?"
"Your Highness, the house has received it!" Zhuang Shilin replied.
"That's good!"
"Is Your Highness useful?" Zhuang Shilin asked cautiously. He knew that the prince had loose hands, and since he was in charge of the total bureau, he had only been in and out, and the remaining silver money in the mansion was almost exhausted.
"Well, this king wants to pay his salary." Zhao Yu nodded.
"Your Highness, will you implement the plan discussed two days ago?" Zhuang Shilin's heart tightened when he heard this, and as expected, the money that had just arrived was about to be sent out before it was hot.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Zhao Yu said.
"Your Highness, your subordinates have discussed with Manager Cai and several other directors, and the salary plan formulated by Your Highness is very reasonable, and the assessment has been basically completed under the auspices of the Senate, and the General Bureau has subsequently made statistics, but the number is ......," Zhuang Shilin replied.
"Since everyone has no opinion, just do it according to the rules, isn't there enough money?" Zhao Yu asked suspiciously, but his hesitation also jumped a few times.
"Your Highness, my subordinates have estimated that according to the plan, it will take 60,000 or 70,000 yuan for the whole government to pay salaries, and the money allocated by the imperial court is enough." Zhuang Shilin thought for a while and said, "But there is very little surplus in the house, and the Craftsman Bureau requires the purchase of tools and materials; The guards had to buy weapons and armor and renovate their ships; The medical bureau wants to hire famous doctors to make medicines, which is indispensable; The Senate needs less, but the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone still have to buy some; Although there is enough food in Fuzhong now, the daily oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, vegetables and vegetables are also a lot of expenses. ”
"After deducting these expenses, will the remaining money be enough to pay the salary?" Zhao Yu nodded and asked, he knew that what Zhuang Shilin said was the truth, in short, he did this, and that was not enough.
"Your Highness, careful planning should be able to last until next month, but next month's salary will definitely not be enough." Zhuang Shilin replied silently.
"Fa, you are ready today, and the whole house will be paid tomorrow!" Zhao Yu listened and insisted.
"Your Highness, what about next month?" Zhuang Shilin said with a sad face when he heard this, the words have been said to this, His Royal Highness still insists, how to live this day.
"Rob, I'll take everyone to rob!" Zhao Yu said with a wave of his hand.
"Your Highness atons for your sins, and your subordinates have no intention of persecuting Your Highness." Zhuang Shilin was startled when he heard this, the prince was not crazy because of lack of money, and he was talking nonsense.
"What if you don't rob it? Since we have already opened the mansion, the imperial court will not give us a penny in the future, and will reach out to us to ask for money and things. And thousands of mouths up and down the house want to eat, and this is all asking for money. But now we have no business, no capital, we have to grab a way to go. Zhao Yu spread his hands and said.
"Your Highness's atonement is all due to the incompetence of your subordinates, and you can't share your worries for the Lord!" Zhuang Shilin found that it was scary for the little prince to go crazy, so he hurriedly excused himself.
"What are your sins?" Seeing this, Zhao Yu knew that his thoughts scared Zhuang Shilin, and said with a smile, "Hehe, you don't have to worry now, we will have the money, everything will be fine, maybe next month you don't have to worry about the lack of money available." ”
"Is Your Highness real?" Zhuang Shilin hesitated and asked, is the prince really ready to rob it?
"Really, today you have everything you need, and you have to arrange for people to distribute it to the bureaus, supervise them to make sure that everyone gets their share in full, and to prevent anyone from getting their hands on it." Zhao Yu nodded and commanded again.
"Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates will make all arrangements in place." Zhuang Shilin said politely, although he couldn't figure out what the prince had thought of, but every time he said, he never disappointed everyone, and his heart settled down, and he went out to arrange the salary.
Watching Zhuang Shilin go out, Zhao Yu pinched his forehead and sighed, the money was also painful, at least the plate he wanted to sneak away was gone. But he also understands a truth: there is a gift to gain.
This is vulgarly said to be buying people's hearts, which means that if you want to take something from the other person's hand, the best way is to give it first. If you keep giving, you will conclude a good relationship. The accumulation of feelings has changed qualitatively at a certain stage, and the other party has regarded himself as his own person. Further, when the other party has already equated himself with him, he will give what he wants, and what he will still give if he doesn't want it; To say that it is a power technique, and Lao Tzu said it better and saw it more thoroughly. He said: If you think you are the world, if you can send it to the world. It means that he is reluctant, saying that only those who can dedicate themselves to the world can entrust the world to him.
It can be seen that if you want to get, you have to give first, you have to give first, and you have to pay first. When the effort accumulates to a certain extent, it will naturally "get", and this is also the intrinsic requirement of political struggle for power. In short, if you want to get, you have to pay first. This method has the highest success rate of all methods. ……
The next day, the Wei Wangfu announced the standard for the payment of salaries, and at the same time, the accounts of the General Division were divided into several groups to go to various ministries to pay salaries, changing the usual practice of receiving and then distributing them by all ministries in the past, which also avoided the possibility of officials at all levels taking a cut and peeling off the skins, so that the salaries could be paid to everyone in full. At the same time, it also made everyone understand that the money sent to them came from the palace and was raised by His Royal Highness, so they should know whose orders should be followed.
And Zhao Yu took out some money to reward the outstanding work and training in each bureau. Most of the awardees came from grassroots officers and craftsmen, which caused a stir in the government. In the past, those who were rich and officials took it, and those who endured hardships were soldiers, but now His Royal Highness's actions show that no matter who does a good job, he will be rewarded and will never be buried, which makes the morale of the palace improve again, and Zhao Yu's prestige has also risen to a new level.
"Your Highness, all the salaries in the house have been paid today, and everyone is grateful for His Highness's kindness." Tonight, Zhao Yu held a banquet to entertain several principals in the mansion, and Cai Wanyi, as the head of the foreign government, delivered a speech.
"Yes, it is well known that there is a shortage of money in the house, but His Highness still pays everyone in full, and he is not willing to repay him with death." Zhao Mengjin also said.
"This king is ashamed, just because the class has not been determined, he has treated you badly, and this king has made amends to you with tea instead of wine!" In the face of everyone's praise, Zhao Hao raised his glass with a guilty face and said.
"Your Highness is bad, but your subordinates think it's so good, excluding the class and setting the salary by position can enable more capable people, and the mediocre can't, and let those who are high in class, but have no ability, there is no place for them, everyone says that this is the most just." Cai Wanyi drank all the wine in the cup and said.
"But this has made you take a lot less from the high class, and this king is still uneasy in his heart." Zhao Yu took a sip of tea.
"Your Highness is wrong again, the classes set by this dynasty are complicated, and there is a suspicion of indiscriminate awarding, so that many people have empty salaries, but they are just ordinary sergeants and cards, which makes it difficult for the army to be convinced. And His Highness's salary is not low with that of other armies, and even though the real money is distributed, it is not offset by customs bills and banknotes, and there is no deduction among them, but in fact it is much higher than that of other armies. Huang Xianyao gave his hand and confessed first.
"Your Royal Highness treats people with sincerity, and the craftsmen of the craftsman bureau all say that the house is so that the able, the mediocre, and the mediocre, everyone eats with their ability, and the good craftsmanship should be more than the full, and now they are all working hard to contribute to the house!" Zhou Xiang said.
At this time, His Royal Highness can rest assured, everyone knows that His Royal Highness is a prince, and he should have a salary of 2,000 yuan per month according to the custom, and the minister's money is even more in 10,000 yuan. And His Highness only receives three hundred guan now, even if there are few, who dares to say more. Cai Wan said righteously.
"Hehe, you are so considerate, this king is very grateful, and when the situation improves in the coming day, he will definitely be rewarded." Zhao Hao raised his glass again and drank with everyone.
Now that the materials are scarce, even the palace wine is a luxury, and these people in the hall have not been drinking for almost two months, looking at the wine eyes shining, they dare not drink recklessly, and they seem to be very afraid of Zhao Yu, a child. And it is also true, at first His Highness saved them and gave them a shelter from the wind and rain, and only in gratitude was he willing to be loyal. But then they found that His Royal Highness not only treats people sincerely, but also sees hope, and there seems to be no difficulty that His Highness can't solve, as this feeling deepens day by day, they unconsciously have become dependent on the palace, and the prince has become the backbone of everyone, and has changed from simple gratitude to awe, surrendering to this child.
How could Zhao Yu not feel the change, this is exactly what he wants. In his understanding, the relationship between this and Bing is, in the final analysis, like a father and son in a family. Father's kindness can lead to filial piety. After the father is in place, the son does not dare to rebel and cannot bear to rebel; The father was unkind and unjust, so the son did the kidnapping of the father. And people with a little conscience understand that 'eating people's mouths are short, and receiving people's hands is short', even if they only used themselves here as a temporary shelter at first, now he tightens his belt to meet everyone's demands, and they slap their butts and leave, I am afraid that there will be no place in this era that still pays attention to loyalty, filial piety and shame.
Zhao Yu also knows that it is indecent for everyone to eat and drink together, but in fact, this is the best way to get closer and cultivate feelings in ancient and modern times. At his suggestion, everyone raised their glasses frequently, and a few glasses of wine slowly opened up, and the situation on the field also warmed up.
"Your Highness, my subordinates have recently heard rumors that the imperial court is going to Mongolia as a hostage to His Highness, I wonder if it's true?" Liu Zhu drank a few glasses, his face was already red, and he asked with a big tongue.
"Well, there are indeed people in the court who propose!" Zhao Yu nodded.
"Your Highness must not go, if the court forcibly acts, your subordinates are willing to keep Your Highness leaving." Seeing Zhao Yu's admission, Liu Zhu immediately got up and said.
"The subordinates are willing to die for His Highness, and they must not let His Highness be in danger." Everyone also put down their cups and spoons, got up and saluted in unison.
"Most of the Mongolian kings can't go, but the place where they want to go is also the place of nine deaths and one life, I don't know if everyone is willing to continue to follow this king?" Zhao Yu put down the teacup in his hand, pondered for a moment, looked at everyone and said......
