Chapter 570: Business

The purpose of transferring Wang Hou to Beijing as the secretary of the ministry was very simple, that is, to use Wang Hou's qualifications as one of the first old ministers to follow Qin Feng and his prestige in the Taiping military system to rectify the rule of officials. This is a big article, and if it is not done well, it will cause turmoil, but Qin Feng does not want the situation to be unstable, because for the new dynasty that is about to be established, stability and development are the most important foundations.www.biquge.info On the basis of stability, we strive to unify the forces of all parties in the shortest possible time, so that the strength of the new dynasty will be greatly improved.

The autumn wind sweeps away the leaves, but after the pain, you have to rebuild on the ruins, which is obviously not a good choice in the current situation. It can be said that he is in the hands of the people of Qi, and he wants you to mess up? The more chaotic the better, it is best to mess so that Qin Feng has no time to take care of him is their best choice, so on the one hand, they sent Cao Hui to Yuejing City to congratulate them, and on the other hand, they secretly stabbed them in other places.

Wang Hou's qualifications have nothing to say, people are old, and now they are also famous, basically have no desires and no desires, and naturally they are not afraid of offending people. Second, and more importantly, he also has a daughter known as the goddess of wealth, who controls a lot of resources in his hands. This side gives you a stick, which side will give you a little more dates, and it is the best strategy to pull while playing.

Professional people do professional things. This is the strategy that the Taiping army has always pursued, and now that the stall is bigger, there are more things, and of course it is more complicated. But Qin Feng firmly believes in one, and there is a specialization in the art industry. For example, if you ask a skillful hand to be a pro-people official, it is estimated that he will tidy up the place, but if you ask him to preside over the Ministry of Industry and be responsible for road construction, mining and manufacturing, he is a good hand. By extension, if you want an official to control the river, if this guy has never even seen a big river and doesn't know anything about this mess, can he do it well?

Subject examinations and merit-based admissions are the first magic weapon that Wang Hou is prepared for. Promote those who are really talented first and let them do practical things, so that it will not be bad.

Wang Hou's matter can be explained clearly in a few words, but when it comes to Wang Yueyao, it is much more complicated.

Taiping Fang under the control of Wang Yueyao, from the beginning of a small little, with the Taiping Army step by step expansion, has now grown into a giant involving all walks of life, the Taiping Army's military spending, seventy or eighty percent from the Taiping Fang, for the Taiping Army, he is indispensable, and Wang Yueyao is therefore respected by the Taiping Army generals as the goddess of wealth.

But with the passage of time, Qin Feng, who controls the entire country, will inevitably decline in his reliance on Taipingfang, and the existence of such a giant is really harmful to the commercial development of the entire country. Its monopoly, his unrivaled strength, is enough to inflict unparalleled oppression on others, and it can be said that no individual is capable of fighting against it.

Therefore, the reorganization of Taipingfang has also reached an urgent moment.

"Wang Yao, I have read the report of Taipingfang, in just four years, you have made such achievements, it is really unbelievable." Qin Feng smiled and said, "But now, it's time for us to have something to change. ”

"Taipingfang was originally the general's, but the general had orders, and Yueyao obeyed everything." Wang Yueyao nodded.

"My idea is that Taipingfang will change from a direct operator to a manager and a controller." Qin Feng Dao. "I hope that in the future, Taipingfang will be a rule-maker and maintainer, rather than personally participating in the most direct operation."

"The general means that the Taiping Fang will give up all business operations?" Wang Yueyao frowned slightly, this was tantamount to giving the child he had worked so hard to raise to others, and he was naturally uncomfortable in his heart.

"Not exactly." Qin Feng shook his head and said: "Grain, salt, iron, wine and other industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood must still be controlled by the state, this cannot be completely released, especially salt, iron, grain, etc., once released, I am afraid there will be chaos." Among these industries, Taipingfang must maintain absolute control on behalf of the imperial court, that is, absolute control, of course, we can also appropriately introduce private capital in these industries. ”

"But in other industries, we can completely open up and don't have to meddle in everything."

"But General, many industries in Taipingfang are extremely profitable now, such as some luxury goods that we are operating now, which are completely profiteering. Wouldn't it be a shame to give up on these? Wang Yueyao was a little unwilling.

"If you are willing to give, you will have to give. We sold them all. The price, of course, is up to you, for example, what kind of woman-specific mask did Shu Chang get at that time? Qin Feng laughed: "The cost of this thing should not be high now, but the objects he sells are all noble ladies with heads and faces, it is indeed a profitable business, I believe that if you sell him, you will definitely let the rich people break their heads and grab it, and you can sit on the ground and raise the price." ”

"A long-term business, but it has become a one-shot deal? If you make this money, you won't have it in the future. Wang Yueyao said dissatisfied.

"You can't say that." Qin Feng smiled and said, "We are going to collect taxes. In the past, all the profits of Taiping Fang belonged to the Taiping Army, and they did not pay taxes, but now they can sell a large amount of money, and this money can be used to do a lot of things, and more importantly, this business, as long as he is still doing it, we can always collect taxes from him, although it is not as profitable as before, but this is also a steady stream of income. ”

"The general said yes, that's good." Wang Yueyao is indispensable.

"We can't hold everything in our hands, and if we go on like that, we will play with lanterns for fifteen miles, and the more we play, the more we go back. Selling all these businesses like this, we can collect taxes with peace of mind, free up time and energy, we have more things to do, such as making rules that I said first, don't underestimate these things, it's an extremely complicated job. Moreover, those monopolies that involve the life of the state alone are enough to give you a headache. Qin Feng said with a smile: "Yueyao, what we control now is not one or two counties, but a country. ”

"Yueyao understands, I will start doing this right away." Wang Yueyao nodded and said. "In this way, there will be no Taiping Fang in the future!"

"Taiping Fang is a golden signboard, you can also sell it for a sum of money, and you can even rent this golden sign to merchants who want to hang this sign. Of course, if they put up this sign, you have to take charge of the supervision so as not to mess up your sign. Qin Feng smiled: "Is this a long-term business?" ”

Wang Yueyao's eyes lit up: "The general is really whimsical, this can really be had." Taipingfang is the guarantee of quality, if we are willing to let some merchants hang the Taipingfang brand, they will definitely be willing to pay this money, but it can't be used by anyone, we have to raise the threshold extremely high. One is to ensure the quality, and the other is to make this brand more valuable. ”

"Drawing inferences, Yueyao is amazing." Qin Feng laughed and praised: "You can do these things yourself." In short, I am going to set up a commercial department, which will be directly responsible to the imperial court, and under the commercial department, at least several departments should be set up, such as the department that manages the business that is the lifeblood of the economy controlled by the state, the department that formulates the rules of commerce, the department that supervises the implementation of these rules and punishes those who violate them, and so on. I hope you can come up with a plan as soon as possible. ”

"General rest assured, Yue Yao will definitely do this well." Wang Yueyao is definitely authentic.

Wang Hou on the side was a little surprised, "General, Yueyao is a woman, and according to your arrangement, the Commercial Department is a big yamen that stands side by side with the six ministries, and it is a yamen with real power and money in his hands, I'm afraid it's not good to let Yueyao be a woman as the chief official?" ”

Qin Feng sneered, "There have been many people who have talked about this issue before, saying that women are in the court, which hinders the discussion, I bah, who said that women are inferior to men?" If nothing else, looking at Mrs. Xiao in Longyou County, it is enough to make most men in the world embarrassed, and Yu Xiu'e, the wife of the monk, is always in front of the charge, why don't those people make a noise? Besides, Lord Wang, can you find a more suitable candidate than Yueyao to replace her? As you said, this is a big yamen with real power and wealth, and I am not at ease if I change someone! In Taiping City, we have achieved the goal that both boys and girls must go to school, and this will be promoted throughout the country in the future, and in a few years, more and more talented women will emerge, as long as they are talented, why can't they become officials in the court? You are a secretary of the ministry, and when you choose an official, you might as well set an example. ”

Wang Hou smiled bitterly: "In this way, others have to say that I am a fake public helper, escorting my daughter to open the way, and I will not be scolded to death by others?" ”

Qin Feng laughed: "Just now you were still saying that you were not afraid of offending people, why did you change your tone again in the blink of an eye?" I don't dare to say to others, Yue Yao, the chief official of the ministry, no one in the Taiping Army is unconvinced, if anyone dares to chirp crookedly, naturally someone will protect the flowers, I'm afraid it will not be your father's turn to come out! ”

The people Qin Feng said about protecting the flowers are naturally the old soldiers of the Taiping Army, they are convinced by Wang Yueyao, over the years, their weapons, armor, food, and use are much better than the armies of other countries, and all this money is earned back by Wang Yueyao.

Hearing that Qin Feng defended himself like this, Wang Yueyao was grateful: "The general's kindness is unforgettable, and she can only repay the general for her conscientious work." ”

Wang Hou snorted: "General, Yueyao is twenty-four this year, you put such a heavy burden on her shoulders, it is conceivable that I will be busy day and night in the future, when will I be able to hold my grandson!" ”

"Dad, what did you say? Now it's business. Wang Yueyao was ashamed and annoyed. (To be continued.) )
