Zhang Yue proposed the concept of understanding the library, which made Shen Yan, Luo Supervisor and others deeply concerned.
Is the step too big?
The Exchange is already an unprecedented thing, and now there is a treasury added. Although it is not an open place to borrow money from the private sector, given the conservative atmosphere of the day, it may not be tolerated.
They were worried that as soon as the branch office was released, they would be immediately impeached by the admonishing officials and they would not even be able to save the branch office.
Zhang Yue repeatedly emphasized that Fenyinpu was similar to Jiaozipu. As for the loan, it was only used in the field of salt and tea, but it still could not dispel everyone's concerns.
Zhang Yue lamented that the reform was not so bad as an idea, but that a vigorous and resolute person like Wang Anshi must be at the front, otherwise any change would be opposed and would not be implemented.
Finally, Shen Yan proposed that branches should be set up in Shaanxi and Luoyang, and they should be named Shaanxi Transportation Bureau.
Zhang Yue then agreed.
Shaanxi has a large stockpile of troops, and it costs a lot to transport military supplies every year. There are also horse dealers, tea dealers and other merchants on the border. There is an urgent demand for salt banknotes and gold and silver transactions in Shaanxi.
No one can argue with the implementation of branch offices in the name of border needs.
As for Luoyang, it is nominally a transit link from Shaanxi to Bianjing.
There is no difficulty in filing a quotation, it is just a matter of great credibility.
At this point, the board of directors has almost finished discussing the matters discussed. The following is how to divide the 15,000 yuan of the first dividend.
The previous management of the Exchange consisted of Zhang Yue, Cai Jing, and Luo Supervisor.
Others at the Exchange and Citation Institute who were formerly employed at the Capital Salt Institute will receive an additional salary on top of their basic salary. The newly hired person's salary is equivalent to three-fifths of the old man's salary.
These are recorded as costs and are not dividends.
Of the fifteen thousand guan, everyone recommended that Zhang Yue take the big head, which is 10,000 guan, Luo Jianyuan took 3,000 guan, and Cai Jing took 2,000 guan.
How much is ten thousand guan?
Zhang Yue's monthly salary is 17 guan, the various subsidies received are 57 guan, and the annual salary is 684 guan.
Nine thousand guan was Zhang Yue's salary for nearly fifteen years.
As a Zuo Lang, he still had a post. Although he resigned as a Jingyan official, the officials still remembered their contribution to helping him rise to the position. Therefore, even if he was removed from the official position, he would still receive the salary of the Jingyan official.
As for the official of Luo Supervisory Academy, he is just a minister of Taichang Temple. He does not have any post and his monthly salary is only eight guan. After Zhang Yue established the Citation Office, Luo Supervisory Academy kept these words from beginning to end.
Zhang’s high opinion.
What Bachelor Zhang said makes sense.
What Bachelor Zhang saw is beyond our reach.
For such a loyal person, a generous gift of three thousand guan is enough.
As for Cai Jing, who is not even a Jinshi, two thousand guan is enough for him to buy a house in Bianjing.
Thus the first board meeting came to an end.
Zhang Yue returned to the room, and Cai Jing immediately followed him into the room and said, "How can Jing Yijie, a commoner, get two thousand guans without being gifted by a bachelor? Jing is very grateful and is willing to do his best in the future."
Zhang Yue could see that Cai Jing was very excited to receive the money and said excitedly: "Yuan Chang, it doesn't have to be like this."
Cai Jing continued: "Don't worry, bachelor, Jing will live up to his words in the future."
After a pause, Cai Jinghu said: "Bachelor, Jing would like to buy 40 shares from the additional issuance of shares after receiving these two thousand coins. Is it possible?"
Zhang Yue thought to himself, this guy is really discerning.
Zhang Yue said: "It's your money, you can use it however you want! You have to ask me."
Cai Jing suppressed his joy and then said: "Scholar Zhang, I have something to report. There are many people in Duyanyuan who are neglecting their duties."
Zhang Yue asked: "Is it the Capital Salt Institute or the Citation Institute? Please tell me in detail."
Cai Jing said: "A good teaching scholar knows that it is his duty to hire more people from outside, and he does not dare to make mistakes easily. It's just that there are many people in the Capital Salt Academy and they are too busy."
Zhang Yue thought a little when he heard the words.
Cai Jing said: "These people are all old officials. They are used to being slippery and lazy in Duyanyuan. They are lazy in doing things and are listless and neglect official duties. They are missing for three hours when they arrive at the Yamen five hours a day, but they are missing after leaving the Yamen. It’s so lively to hang out with friends.”
"That's all. Relying on their seniority, they not only ignored Luo Jianyuan, but also ignored my words."
Zhang Yue said: "How do you plan to deal with it?"
Cai Jing said: "We need to find a reason to send these people away, otherwise it will delay the people who are really doing the work."
"Remove if you want to? Most of the officials in Duyanyuan have to correct their names. Even if they are waiting to be dismissed, they cannot be dismissed easily."
Officials are divided into official names, waiting for que, and private names.
The rectification of names is organized, but Daique said that it is not organized, but it is also fixed. Only private names are not organized.
Cai Jing said: "Leave this matter to me. I will find a way to make the other party unable to stay here any longer and find no reason to blame."
Zhang Yue said: "I understand. Now is not the time to arrange these people. Let's get a firm foothold first. How about you call a few people in charge to come in first and let me take a look?"
Zhang Yue watched Cai Jing go away, and he could see Cai Jing's flattering side to others and ruthless side to others.
Then several stewards were called in by Cai Jing to report to Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue asked them one by one about the matters at hand. Questioning was the way of investigation. Zhang Yue made an evaluation of Cai Jing and the people he recommended, and felt that their abilities were acceptable.
To judge whether a person is a chronicler, just ask a few questions about his statement. Some people cannot even remember key data, so it is difficult to call them reliable.
Just looking at their fearful and sweaty expressions, Ling Zhang Yue couldn't help but smile to himself. In the past, it was the bosses who inspected him, but now it was his turn to inspect others.
After a few people left, Zhang Yue picked up the tea cup and took a sip, relaxing a little. He happened to see the sun shining on the tiles of the yamen's veranda, and suddenly felt very good.
He had already planned to buy back shares with his 10,000 yuan. He could buy 200 shares.
The establishment of the cross-examination office was entirely up to Empress Dowager Cao, who should have taken good care of it, but she had no way of doing it, so that was all.
So Zhang Yue gave Han Qi 90 shares, Zeng Gongliang 60 shares, and Ouyang Xiu 50 shares.
Empress Dowager Cao didn't know about shares, but Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang and others would definitely know.
As soon as the exchange issues additional shares, the capital's exchange salt merchants and big businessmen will surely take notice and rush to buy the shares. At that time, the rising tide will lift all boats.
This money is indispensable, otherwise even Sima Guang and others would not be able to withstand any round of impeachment.
Zhang Yue's move was exactly the same as Xue Xiang's donation of money to Shanling. It's just that Zhang Yue didn't expect that he would live the life he once hated.
Zhang Yue comforted himself that Xue Xiang was thinking of ways to print more salt banknotes in exchange for money, while he was trying to maintain the status of salt banknotes as a credit currency.
Then Zhang Yue encouraged himself with another sentence: Don't care what others do, and always keep your eyes on the goal! This is how you become a person who does things.
The three prime ministers received the gifts in different ways.
Han Qi withdrew Zhang Yue's eighty shares and received ten symbolic shares.
Zeng Gongliang received 60 shares and was very happy. He even hosted a banquet in person for Zhang Yue. During the dinner, Zeng Gongliang said a few words to Zhang Yue, to the effect that you, a young man, have a great future.
Ouyang Xiu also accepted it happily, and then Ouyang Fa gave back some of his collection of calligraphy, calligraphy, painting and curios.
On this day, Zhang Yue and Qi Niang were chatting with Ouyang. Mrs. Wu was looking at a peony painting that Ouyang Xiu had bought from Daxiangguo Temple.
This painting was placed casually. The thickness is unknown. Ouyang Fa and Mrs. Wu took the opportunity to invite Zhang Yue and Qi Niang to come and taste it.
Zhang Yue didn't know how to paint, so he could only see a peony bush with a cat underneath it, that's all.
Ouyang laughed and said: "How about Sanlang, let's talk about it!"
When Zhang Yue didn't answer, Qi Niang smiled slightly and asked, "Madam, can you see any clues?"
The Seventeenth Mother said: "This is a peony at noon."
Ouyang Fa heard this and asked, "How do you know about Seventeen?"
Seventeen Niang pointed at the painting and said: "This flower is draped and dry, it is the flower at noon. Look at the cat's eyes as black as lines, it is the cat's eye at noon."
"If it is a flower with dew, the center of the flower is convergent and the color is shiny and moist. The cat's eyes are round in the morning and evening, narrow and long in the middle, and like a thread of ears at noon. This painting is based on the wishes of the ancients. It is really a good painting. I don't know. How much did Mr. Ouyang pay for it?"
Ouyang Fa said proudly: "My father only used five guans!"
Seventeenth Mother smiled and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Ouyang."
Ouyang laughed and said: "A good painting needs someone who knows pearls. Madam, thanks to Shi Qi's suggestion, how about we hang this painting in the flower hall?"
Mrs. Wu said: "It's up to you. I just do calligraphy and painting all day long."
But seeing Ouyang Fa leaving happily, Zhang Yue was also very proud. Having such a smart wife was really a blessing in disguise!
After Ouyang Fa finished hanging the calligraphy and paintings, he returned to the room and asked Zhang Yue: "Yes, Sanlang, are you in charge of the Exchange now?"
Zhang Yue said: "It is under the rule of Sansi!"
Ouyang laughed and said: "Then you have found the right person. I have a few friends of gold and stone who want the shares of the Exchange. You can help me get some!"
After Ouyang Fa finished speaking, Mrs. Wu said: "Yes, I have heard about it too, and some of my close friends also want to ask about it."
Zhang Yue said: "That's not cheap. One share is fifty guan, at least ten strands, that is, one hand costs 500 guan."
Mrs. Wu looked hesitant after hearing this, but Ouyang Fa asked: "At least ten shares, that means you subscribe to the shares but not the person?"
Zhang Yue said: "That's right, stock subscription does not recognize anyone. You only need to hold the stock quote and go to the Stock Exchange when the bonus is distributed at the end of the year. If you don't want it anymore, the Stock Exchange will take it back at any time with fifty shares per share minus the dividend!" "
Ouyang Fa put his hands on his hands and smiled: "Isn't that a sure profit? Sanlang will order 300 shares for me first!"
Zhang Yue shook his head and said: "No, two hundred shares at most!"
Ouyang said anxiously: "Sanlang, you and I have been friends for so many years!"
Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "It's really difficult!"
Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, can you also save a hundred shares for me?"
Zhang Yue said: "Madam, don't worry. When I get back, I will order someone to bring the butt to the palace!"
Ouyang Fa...
Mrs. Wu said with a smile on her face: "Thank you so much, brother-in-law."
…
Seeing that Zhang Yue had done something for her sister and brother-in-law and gained face for herself, Shi Qi Niang was in a happy mood. She walked affectionately beside Zhang Yue regardless of the eyes of other people in Ouyang's house.
Seventeen Niang said: "Guanren, are the stocks on the Stock Exchange really that good?"
Zhang Yue said: "At least there will be no compensation."
Seventeenth Mother said: "Why don't we buy some too?"
Zhang Yue laughed and said, "How many shares do you want to buy, madam?"
Seventeenth Mother frowned and thought for a while, "I think I'll buy two hundred shares first!"
Zhang Yue felt like he was being attacked when he heard this, "What, madam, our family is so rich, why did I never know about it?"
