Thank you for the 100 yuan reward from the top six art book friends!

……….

Grandpa Wei is not lying to Master Hu, in fact, there is really such a treasure thawing committee.

Although this committee was formed just three days ago, it was set up on the Gongza ship East Asia, what does this mean?

It shows that this committee not only exists, but also has a high specification, quite high, extremely high!

How high are the specs?

It is the position of chairman of this committee that is held by Gonggong Wei himself!

My father-in-law himself also attached great importance to the development of the Thaw Committee, and for this reason, he appointed his interim secretary, Comrade Zhao Quan, to serve as the director of the chairman's office and the head of the coordination and liaison group, the head of the finance office, the head of the security group, the head of the transportation group, and the head of the logistics group.

In order to encourage Comrade Zhao Quan to better complete his work, Gonggong Wei specially reported to His Majesty the Emperor to strive for a formal civil service establishment for Zhao Quan - this establishment belongs to the civil official system, which is a six-grade official and an in-stream official, and has the rank of Chengzhilang Wensan. In Beijing, at least it is also a patrol according to the imperial history, and in the locality, it is one level higher than the county. Specifically, compared with later officials, it is probably the secretary general of the municipal party committee.

Zhao Quan was originally a bookkeeper in the Wusongshui Camp Grain Depot, because of the lack of literacy and writing around Father-in-law Wei, so he was transferred to be sent temporarily, and now Father-in-law Wei can see it, and he has found a six-grade official for him, and he is a civil official, which makes Secretary Zhao very moved in addition to excitement.

However, because His Majesty the Emperor has not yet officially approved it, Comrade Zhao Quan is currently in charge of the daily affairs of the unfreezing committee in the capacity of "director".

The father-in-law and the old man have the emperor's order, and he is expected to go to sea to inspect the southeast coast after the year, so he really can't find time to personally take charge of the affairs of the thawing committee, so he can only catch Zhao Quan's duck on the shelf. The other people around me counted them one by one, but there was really no suitable candidate.

It's not that the seventh uncle and grandfather and Ma Wenqing's gang of directors who have had experience in "pulling people's heads" can't do it, but first, the soldiers still want them to maintain it, and second, the thaw committee is a serious body, which involves too much, requires a certain amount of knowledge and historical skills, and often has to deal with words and account books. If they were to be used, the committee would probably be ruined.

So, it's Zhao Quan.

In order to make Zhao Quan's business proficient, Father-in-law Wei did not hesitate to take out his rest time for two hours and specially gave him a lecture.

One-to-one, peer-to-peer, famous teacher training.

In the course of the specific teaching, the talented and intelligent Comrade Zhao Quan also supplemented several "loopholes" in his father-in-law's proposal through his own efforts, such as skillfully combining the blue jade case at the beginning of the country with the whereabouts of Temujin's treasure to make it more authentic, and firmly combining it with the secrets of the inner court, making it mysterious at the same time.

Truthful, mysterious, anything that has these two attributes, that is undoubtedly the most attractive. If you have an official background, you can't do it.

According to the instructions of Wei Gonggong, Zhao Quan drafted an advanced system for the members of the Unfreezing Committee alone after class, which made Wei Gonggong, who had been a man for two lifetimes, also applauded, and was impressed by Zhao Quan and determined to reuse it.

Since it has been done, it must be done well!

Even if there are fictitious clues about the whereabouts of the treasure, and the thawing committee is suspected of bluffing people with the emperor's banner, Gonggong Wei will never admit that he is deceiving people, nor will he admit that the treasure thawing committee is a leather bag company, a 1040 project or something.

This thawing committee is conducive to the revival of the Ming Dynasty, and is also conducive to the improvement of the living standards of the people of the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who dares to question the committee and the Sunshine thaw capital operation project is a spy of the Beiyu and a common enemy of the Chinese people!

The coffin is conclusive, not to be discussed!

The legitimacy of the Treasure Thawing Committee must not be questioned, and whoever doubts it is the enemy of the father-in-law and the imperial army, which is what Father-in-law Wei repeatedly emphasized to Director Zhao during his lectures.

You must know that from the beginning of the idea of establishing the thawing committee, Gonggong Wei attached great importance to it, regarded it as a high-level project, and devoted himself to supporting it, otherwise, he would not have personally concurrently served as the chairman of the committee.

Not to mention personally finalizing the first offline and talking to them personally.

Under the signal of his father-in-law's eyes, Director Zhao, who had been preparing for a long time, appeared.

"Master Hu, the Temujin Treasure Thawing Committee is chaired by Gonggong Wei himself, the guild hall is located in the maritime special zone, the site selection and the construction of the guild hall will be implemented after the year, and the construction of the guild hall will be completed in May, at that time, the chairman will invite the gentry from the north and south of the river and the local civil and military to attend the inauguration ceremony of the guild hall......"

After the emergency training of Father-in-law Wei, Zhao Quan's expression was flying and gushing, and he presented the institutional setup, personnel composition, capital operation and considerable prospects of the thaw committee in front of Master Hu one by one.

From the concept to the plan, from the future to the present, from the macro to the details, Director Zhao talked about everything, everything was said, interlocking, although there were some pauses in the process, but the overall was still very good, it was really difficult for him to memorize the lines for the two days of sleeplessness.

Grandpa Wei couldn't help but nod his head as he listened, and it turned out that he didn't choose the wrong person.

The hall of the thaw committee, the father-in-law really wanted to build, because there was a specific "yamen" that made it easier for people to believe.

In addition to the office location and governing bodies, the Committee will have a large number of office staff. These personnel, the father-in-law pondered that they could be recruited openly to the public.

In this way, we can very well promote the exchange of "Haite" talents, increase the employment channels for the people of the Special Administrative Region, and make the people of the Special Administrative Region truly feel the good of Father-in-law Wei.

Master Hu listened very attentively, and he could see that his old man was also moved, because he would ask some questions to Director Zhao from time to time.

In the end, it is a businessman, and Master Hu's questions are all on the point, and a few of them even point to the key point.

Fortunately, Zhao Quan came prepared, but what Master Hu didn't know was that Director Zhao had a booklet hidden in his arms, which was densely packed with more than 100 items, each of which was an answer to different questions from customers.

It is recognized by Wei Gonggong and is the only official reply.

Director Zhao answered Mr. Hu's question very well, and judging from his complexion, Mr. Hu was very satisfied with Director Zhao's answer.

Wei Gonggong thinks that this is reasonable, after all, what Zhao Quan is talking about now, don't say that the Ming Dynasty has not been, and it has not been turned up for another two thousand years.

The time, things, and ideas that transcend the times are always shocking.

In addition, with the support of his father-in-law Wei, and the "endorsement" of the emperor who was far away in the Forbidden City and did not know, Hu Shihai could not believe it no matter how old he was.

Gonggong Wei doesn't think there's anything wrong with this committee taking Wanli as a banner, after all, everyone in the world knows that this emperor is not only good at martial arts and heavy side work, but also extra greedy for money, especially competing for profits with the people, in addition, he just wants to play a play, especially will cheat, especially tempered, and especially hate his own courtiers......

The image was created by Wanli himself, and Gonggong Wei used this image art to process it, and there was nothing to worry about. The Northern Expedition to Mongolia was only to take out the treasures of Temujin buried underground, which can be said to be absurd for other emperors, but for Wanli, it is completely credible. In addition to the three major expeditions, there is another big expedition, whether it is for fame or underground profits, this account is worth it. The emperor wanted to do this, but he didn't have the money. What to do if you don't have money, the rest of the matter will make sense.

Father-in-law Wei believes that Mr. Hu will definitely devote himself to the grand project of sunshine thawing capital operation, because this is a real institution with official support, specific units, and specific projects.

Of course, at present, this official only refers to the admiral and maritime eunuch Wei Gonggong, and no other institutions have participated. However, His Majesty the Ming Emperor behind Gonggong Wei was more authoritative than any institution.

After thousands of words of concept explanation, Director Zhao finally talked about the advanced system of the committee under the concern of Mr. Hu, a probationary member.

"If you want to become a member of the Unfreezing Committee, you can't just have money, you must be a gentry and a dignitary of the court, in addition, if you want to join the association, in addition to voluntary fundraising, you must have a reputation above the number of people, otherwise, the committee will not accept anything." Zhao Quan said very seriously.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gonggong Wei emphasized again: "This is what Your Majesty meant, the thaw committee is related to the great cause of the Northern Expedition to Mongolia, and it is not something that can be joined if you have money, and the local members must be local dignitaries, or both civil and military, otherwise, they are not qualified." If some messy people can join the committee with a little money, then it will be a mess in the future. Hey, we don't want to have that traitorous local tyrant and gentry who are boiling with public resentment to get the benefits of this committee. ”

This prerequisite can be regarded as a patch given by Wei Gonggong, because the customer group of Sunshine Thaw Capital Operation Project is specific and not for ordinary people.

To put it mildly, the rich are the ones that this committee wants to pit.

Having money is the original sin.

This group of rich and good guys in Zhenjiang City really provoked Father-in-law Wei, otherwise Father-in-law would not have sacrificed this big killing weapon.

He is so determined that he wants to bring these rich people into the ditch, regardless of 3721, and first get their money out to develop the maritime industry and solve the urgent need.

As for whether it is a real Northern Expedition to Mongolia in the future, it is a matter of the future to find the treasure of the one who bent the bow and shot the eagle.

Master Hu doesn't think there is anything wrong with this condition, it should be so, if you have money, you can become a committee member, isn't this committee member a cabbage on the street, too worthless. Eunuch Wei said earlier that if the thaw is successful in the future, the committee members will be rewarded by the imperial court!

Director Zhao struck while the iron was hot, pointed to the long scroll and said: "The specific implementation plan of the Sunshine Thaw Capital Operation Project is also known as the nine-product advanced system. ”

"Nine-grade advanced system?"

Master Hu was stunned, he had heard of the nine-product Zhongzheng system, what does this nine-product advanced system mean?

"The nine products of this project are not official positions of the imperial court, but the pronouns of the upper and lower levels of the relevant committees." Zhao Quan explained, while pointing to the scroll and said,

"The lowest is nine, the highest is one. From the bottom up, any person who meets the requirements can become a member of the Jiupin Committee as long as he voluntarily pays a special fund of 6,980 taels to the committee for unfreezing. After becoming a member of the Jiupin Committee, in addition to obtaining the certificate issued by the Unfreezing Committee, he also has the right to develop three ordinary members. As long as three ordinary members are developed, the nine-grade committee member will be promoted to the eight-grade member, and the three ordinary members will also be promoted to the nine-grade member, and those who are promoted to the nine-grade committee will also have the right to develop three ordinary members. ”

Gonggong Wei said "um" on the side, and said: "Each committee member can only develop three people, and it is better to lack than abuse, so as not to avoid unevenness." ”

Master Hu nodded, and Director Zhao continued: "After becoming an eight-grade commissioner, you can get five hundred taels as a special operation fee for the eight-grade commissioner, and the higher the advancement, the higher the special operation fee. ”

Master Hu looked in the direction of Director Zhao's finger and found that the special operation fee was doubled for each product, five hundred taels for eight products, one thousand taels for seven products, and two thousand taels for six products....The highest member of the first product can get 64,000 taels. This is almost ten times the amount of 6,980 taels invested in advance.

"The special operating expenses are the operating expenses specially allocated by the committee to the members, after all, the members have to devote a lot of energy to the development of the committee." Grandpa Wei specially explained.

Director Zhao said with a smile: "Master Hu, if you become a member of the Sipin Committee, you can apply to the committee to be independently responsible for an area, which has at least three prefectures, and then it can operate independently, except for the accounts, the committee does not interfere in the operation of the Sipin Committee...... In addition, after becoming a member of the Sipin Commission, he will be invited to attend the ceremonies of the Royal Navy and the Royal Army every year, visit the Maritime Special Zone, and receive the greatest preferential treatment in the Special Zone in maritime trade. If you are a member of the First Rank Committee, you will be received by Your Majesty ......"

Director Zhao said in detail, Master Hu listened in detail, and the shrewdness of the businessman was quickly reflected in him, and the small abacus in his heart was straight to the point, no matter how he calculated, joining this committee would have many benefits.

was preparing to contribute to become a member of the Nine Rank Committee, and found that there was a gap above the first grade, so he couldn't help asking: "Which one is the committee member or above?" ”

"More than one product is super product, and the committee promises that the committee will raise more than one million taels of one product, and if the Northern Expedition is successful in the future, take out the treasure, not only can enjoy twice the rebate, but also be awarded the position by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies or the commander of Jinyiwei."

Master Hu was taken aback when he heard this, and what shocked him even more was still to come.

"If the committee members who have raised more than two million taels, they will be earls in the future; If the committee members who have raised more than three million taels of funds will be given the title of Marquis in the future; Raise more than 5 million taels of commissioners, and in the future will be a duke... It's no longer there, and we don't have a foreign surname Wang in the Ming Dynasty. Zhao Quan chuckled.

"If you raise more than 10 million taels, Your Majesty will award an iron coupon for Danshu and give a piece of overseas fiefdom."

It was Gonggong Wei who spoke, with a solemn face.

The extremely surprised Master Hu had no time to think about how the Ming Dynasty had any overseas fiefdoms, and he was only crazy about the iron coupons of the Dan book.

After half a pillar of incense, Director Zhao sent Master Hu out of his father-in-law's big account with a smile on his face, and he would personally accompany Master Hu into the city to collect the special funds for Master Hu to join the thawing committee.

In the account, Wei Gonggong is also very happy, Hu Shihai is the four richest people in the south of the Yangtze River, the richest man in Zhenjiang City, and has a lot of influence among the gentry and wealthy households in the city. Optimistically, this committee member Hu might be able to raise hundreds of thousands of taels of money for him a few hundred thousand years ago.

The thawing business will also quickly spread from Zhenjiang to the north and south of the river, becoming another major source of funds for Wei Gonggong after maritime bonds.

Xiao Tian listened to the whole time, and after Commissioner Hu left, he grinned: "Lord, if this person is unwilling to pay money to join the committee, then won't the lord and Zhao Sang waste their efforts?" ”

"In vain?"

Gonggong Wei's eyes widened: "The southern faction doesn't work, and there is mud from the northern faction!" ”
