On the 20th day of the first lunar month, an official document from Shangshu Province was sent to Tangyi, "...the military discipline in Stone City was lax, and Yang Quanqi, the prefect of Tangyi, did not strictly supervise, so he immediately went to Stone City to train troops..."
"Pa", Yang Quanqi threw the official document on the case and slapped it hard.
Diao Feng, who was waiting in the hall, was secretly happy, knowing that the court was making things difficult for Governor Yang again.
"Diao Feng," Yang Quanqi shouted loudly.
Diao Feng hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "What are the orders from the prefect?"
"Yang is suffering from an old injury and has an unbearable headache. Write a letter for me and send it to the Fifth Military Department. Tell him that he will go to Stone City to train the army after he recovers."
After saying that, Yang Quanqi stood up and walked away.
Diao Feng was in the county record office, and it was his duty to write articles and memorials. After some thought, he wrote the document and sent it to the inner hall. It didn't take much time for Yang Quanqi to reply and send it to the Fifth Military Department.
In the inner hall, Yang Quanqi's face was as dark as water. Although he and Yang Anxuan had agreed to resign during the Chinese New Year in order to retreat in order to advance, he could not help but be worried when things came to a close.
I remembered that when I was young, I followed my father in the war. He had gone through hundreds of battles for more than 20 years before he reached his current position.
What An Xuan said made sense, but if he didn't guess correctly and the court really asked him to resign and return to his fields, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
Yang Quanqi's face showed a look of struggle, and he waited a moment to take a closer look. He first used illness as an excuse to see how the court reacted to him. If he repeatedly urged him with strict words, he would resign because of his illness. If he was comforted by gentle words, it meant that the court still trusted him.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yang Yuan, the bodyguard, came in and said: "General, the elders of the clan invite you to come over and discuss something."
There are three elders in the Yang family. They are Yang Quanqi's uncles according to their seniority. Yang Ming is Yang Liang's biological brother, that is, Yang Quanqi's biological uncle. There are also cousin Yang Liang and cousin Yang Cai. Although Yang Quanqi is the clan leader, the specific affairs of the clan are handled by three clan elders.
In order to gather the hearts of the people, the Yang family maintains close contact with each other, helps each other, and works together with the same clan. They also share what they have in the distribution of clan property. The rich clan distributes money and grain to the poor clan; the rich clan distributes their salary and salary to the clan; The fields are cultivated by the poor clan, the children are raised for the poor members of the clan, the elderly are provided for in their final years, clan schools are set up so that the children of the clan can study and practice martial arts for free, etc.
It is precisely because the Yang family gathers wealth and ensures that the poor do not leave the clan, and more than 400 soldiers from the clan are willing to die for the clan, that the Yang family maintains cohesion and combat effectiveness despite the pressure from the court and top clans.
Yang Quanqi frowned even more, knowing that the three elders were looking for him to discuss the noodle shop. He learned from Qiu'er that the business of the two noodle shops was booming, and their Yangchun noodles and steamed buns were sold out before noon. It is estimated that the clan elders knew the news and wanted to share the profits. .
When I returned to the mansion, I saw that the three clan elders were all there, drinking tea and chatting. Yang Quanqi didn't dare to take it seriously, so he sat down at the side table and chatted with several clan leaders.
Yang Ming was the first to speak: "Anxuan returned to Tangyi during the Chinese New Year and opened two noodle shops. I heard that the business was booming. He found a way to make money for the clan, which is not in vain for the cultivation of him by the clan."
"Yes, An Xuan is a thousand-mile horse of my Yang family. He has high-quality products, moved the world with his literary work, and can kill enemies with martial arts. I am afraid that the descendants of the later generation will have to rely on him." Yang Liang sighed while stroking his gray beard.
Yang Quanqi said: "We, the sons of the Yang family, must work together to revive our family reputation, and An Xuan is no exception."
Yang Ming nodded and sighed: "My father never forgot to restore the Yang family's former glory. I am nearly seventy years old, and I thought it would be hard to see him in person in this life. But An Xuan gave me hope. I hope God can let Yu Duo live."

In the past few years, I have seen the Yang family recover, and it will be a comfort to see your father in the underworld. "
Yang Cai felt helpless and said, "This noodle shop is doing a booming business. I heard that it only sells a hundred bowls of noodles and fixed meals every day. Why not sell more?"
Yang Quanqi considered it carefully and said, "This noodle shop was opened by Xuan'er to add makeup to two girls, not to make money."
"How can this work?" Yang Cai said with an unhappy face: "An Xuan is a member of the Yang family, and the noodle shop he opened is a family business. Although the noodle shop employs clan members to run it, there are more monks and less rice, which is a bit unfair to other clan members. Brother Ming, you Say so?"
Yang Ming was a little embarrassed. He was Yang Anxuan's biological uncle. The noodle restaurant did not cost a single cent of the clan's money. It also provided for the livelihood of more than ten clan members. It was difficult to ask for it again.
Yang Cai saw that Yang Ming was holding the teacup and drinking water without speaking, and continued: "Speaking of it, An Xuan is a goldsmith. Yunjie paper and Bichun tea are not popular items, but An Xuan gave it to the Yin family. If it were given to the clan, Here, the clan can still treat him badly."
Yang Ming took a cup of tea and said, "Befriending the Yin family is for the long term. Laojiu, don't just look at the present. If all the Yin friends can become the Zhongzheng of Xinye County, how many of my Yang family's children can benefit from it? Then Even ten thousand gold cannot buy it.”
Yang Liang also said: "Yes, last year, An Xuan won a thousand taels of gold from the Yan Dai victory, which is enough for the clan's expenses for several years. Even the three brothers of Quan Qi are not as good as him."
Yang Cai said politely: "It's not that you are bad at An Xuan, it's just that you are a little anxious when you see that you can make money, but An Xuan refuses to take it."
Yang Quanqi smiled and relented: "An Xuan doesn't have confidence in the restaurant either. He wants to try it out by opening it first. If the business is good, he plans to open a few more in Beijing."
Yang Liang smiled and said, "The noodle shop is doing very well. Yu personally went to see it and tasted a bowl of Yangchun noodles. After finishing the noodles, he planned to buy a few buns for his great-grandchildren to eat, but they were all sold out."
"Mrs. Ma recognized Yu and asked the chef to make a few of them. Several great-grandchildren said that the meat buns are really fragrant and delicious. However, I am getting older, so I feel that vegetable buns and steamed buns are just right." Yang Liang He pursed his lips and recalled with a smile on his face.
Yang Cai heard that Yang Quanqi said that he intended to open a few more noodle restaurants in Beijing, and hurriedly said: "Foolish Qian'er and grandson Yang Peng are both idle at home, so it's just time for them to go to Beijing to take charge."
The noodle shop manager's monthly salary of NT$2,000 is not low for most people in the clan, and he also eats and lives in the shop every day, which is a good job. Moreover, the manpower employed in the noodle shop is decided by the steward, and the wives of the family can go there. Even if the family does not hire others, it is still a big favor.
Yang Ming was also moved and said: "Quanqi, your brother Xing always says he wants to change his job. See if you can let him work at the Jingzhong Noodle House."
Yang Liang saw that the two clan brothers had opened their mouths and said anxiously: "There are three or four people in the Yu family who are just idlers, and they also want one or two chief positions."
The troubles An Xuan mentioned in advance gradually became apparent. Yang Quanqi smiled bitterly and said, "It's enough for the uncles to discuss these matters on their own. It's just that you need to be careful when choosing people. Don't ruin your own brand because of small mistakes."
Yang Ming and others all stroked their beards and smiled: "Don't worry, Quan Qi."
Yang Quanqi thought to himself, just looking at the number of you, I know that I can't afford to worry. However, An Xuan had something to say first, calling the early stage "run-in" to expose the contradictions, and then set the rules and form a system.
Yang Cai took a sip of tea and said, "The family has contributed a lot to the noodle shop. How to calculate the dividend?"
Yang Ming and Yang Liang also looked at Yang Quanqi. If the family's property is financed by the family, the dividends will be 50 to 70%. If it is financed by the family, the family will also receive several percent of the dividends.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, so that the clan can gather financial resources to do things such as subsidizing the poor and weak, setting up clan schools, purchasing clan fields, and offering sacrifices regularly.
Yang Quanqi smiled and said: "Yu told An Xuan about this during the Chinese New Year, and An Xuan was willing to give 10% of the bonus to the clan. Li'er and Qiu'er will supervise the noodle shop, and each will get 10% of the bonus."
"Ten percent is too little." Yang Cai shouted first and said, "When Li'er and Qiu'er get married in the future, the 20 percent bonus will be transferred to the clan."
Yang Quanqi was displeased and said, "Li'er and Qiu'er's dividends are from An Xuan's own profits. What's going on in the Qian clan?"
Yang Liang hurriedly moderated: "The clan cannot interfere with Li'er and Qiu'er's dividends. Besides, they supervise the noodle shop, so they deserve the 20%. However, Quanqi, you also know that the clan's expenses are tight, and Guang I divided some people and went to Huainan, and the income became less. If it weren't for the gold I got a year ago, the clan sacrifice would be difficult to support. 10% is really too little, at least 30% is needed."
Yang Quanqi knew that the bottom line given by Yang Anxuan was 30%, but now was not the time to say it. He pretended to hesitate and said: "Xuan'er paid for it himself, and the clan reaped the benefits. 30% is a bit high. Yu will make the decision for him, Give the clan a 20% bonus. If the bonus does not exceed 30,000 yuan at the end of the year, this amount will be made up. For each additional noodle shop in the future, an extra 1 or 2 gold will be given to the clan."
Yang Cai calculated it and found out that if he opened ten or eight noodle restaurants, the clan would earn more than ten taels of gold. In addition, the clan members' money for management and servants in the noodle shops would be quite a lot.
Yang Ming looked at Yang Liang and Yang Cai, saw them nodding slightly, and said, "Then it's settled."
Yang Quanqi smiled and said: "Three uncles, nothing can be done without rules. In order to prevent troubles among the clan members, An Xuan drew up some rules before going to Tangyi. After reading it, Yu thought it was good. In the future, he may be able to act as a member of the clan according to the terms he set. Go and show the rules of business to your uncles."
He got up and went to the study to get a stack of paper, and then read out loud the rules drawn up by Yang Anxuan one by one.
"First, the funds to open the noodle shop were provided by Yang Anxuan. The location, layout, materials, sales volume, etc. of the noodle shop are all determined by him, and the clan cannot interfere."
"Secondly, the management of the noodle shop is arranged by the clan, and the number of employees is decided by the management. However, each noodle shop needs to hire one person from outside."
…………
"Sixth, the noodle shop clan members cannot harm the interests of the noodle shop..."
…………
"Ninth, the noodle shop is supervised by Yang Li and Yang Qiu, and any violations will be punished..."
…………
"Fifteenth, the profit sharing of the noodle shop is as follows..."
"For the fifteenth, unfinished matters will be discussed and decided by the clan."
There are fifteen articles in total, and the terms are clear. Yang Quanqi discussed the modifications one by one with the three clan elders, and it took a full hour and a half to reach an agreement.
Looking at the re-copied terms, Yang Ming sighed: "This guy An Xuan is really attentive. He has thought out so many things about this business."
Yang Liang said: "This clause is really good. In the future, our Yang family's business can be drawn up based on this clause. There are rules to follow and there will be less disputes."
Yang Cai stroked his beard and pondered. He originally planned to let his son work as a steward in a noodle shop. After he learned the craft, he would teach it to his subordinates, and then secretly open a noodle shop elsewhere to make money secretly.
However, it is stated in the terms that if someone secretly opens a noodle shop using the skills learned in the clan, they will be fined severely at the least, and the income will be recovered and expelled from the clan at the worst.
Yang Cai sighed, this punishment was too severe, so he had better put aside his petty thoughts for the time being.
