"Of course it's not all about hiring people to do it - you can hire people to do the business of three melons and two dates without losing money. [Read the latest chapter] Most importantly," Wu Nanhai said, "What I mean is that we should be a large-scale businessman and let the self-employed We have bulk goods. For example, we sell breakfast now. We have set up a beverage and service company to wholesale breakfast to vendors, as well as candied haws, popsicles, grass jelly, shaved ice, tofu cakes, marshmallows... We also have We can open a larger-scale chain restaurant that sells breakfast in the morning, packed lunches at noon and evening, and cold drinks on weekdays - I think it would be better to call it Honghuahui."
"Damn, then we have to form another Iron-Blooded Youth League!" Ye Yuming said, a cold light radiating from his eyes, "Old Wu, when it comes to selling tofu pudding, do you like tofu pudding sweet or salty?"
"Well, I prefer traditional flavors." Wu Nanhai feinted and changed the subject, "What do you think of my idea?"
"Okay, but at present the Governor and the Planning Institute are not particularly in favor of the establishment of individual small businesses. Although they have not said it explicitly, I feel that they do not want too many manpower to flow to non-productive departments..."
"We set up this industry not to make money or anything else, but mainly to provide people with more livelihoods and increase social stability. Let more people be able to support themselves - we can't all go into factories and work in the fields. People in the tertiary industry have Demand is also an important supplement to large-scale production! In the future, there will always be an intermittent surplus of labor that industry and agriculture cannot absorb, so we can be prepared for a rainy day."
Ye Yuming nodded: "Can the Senate approve this?"
"There is no need for Senate approval." Wu Nanhai said, "Tiandihui is not a government agency, it is just an industry association under the guidance of the Ministry of Agriculture. It is just a public institution with public participation. We will report it to the Government Affairs Council and the Governor will sign it. .”
"The question is, is the Governor willing to approve it?"
"Have you read the latest issue of "Weekly News"?" Wu Nanhai asked.
"Not yet." Ye Yuming is a busy man.
"There is an article about the current statistics and arrangements for people with work-related disabilities in the civil affairs system. There is no signature. I guess it was written by Liu Muzhou. Nowadays, there are many indigenous people who have partially lost their ability to work after recovering from work-related injuries and war injuries."
There are no disabled people who have completely lost the ability to work in Lingao - with their current medical and health standards, such injured people cannot be saved at all.
These people are currently mainly placed in relatively simple auxiliary jobs, but this is not a long-term solution, so Wu Nanhai believes that some disabled people can be absorbed in the form of the Red Flower Society so that they can support themselves.
"...We can give these people preferential treatment based on experience - Tiandihui can charge a fee. Plus tax incentives. It should be able to make them and their families worry about food and clothing." Wu Nanhai's face showed a slight "worry about the country" people" look.
Ye Yuming nodded: In this case, it will be easier to pass at the Government Affairs Council.
The big deal was settled, and both of them were relatively relaxed. Wu Nanhai made a gesture and asked the waiter to get a pot of oolong tea. While he was pouring tea for Ye Yuming, he said:
"After this matter is settled, I plan to ask the Senate to confirm the current equity, ownership and dividend methods at the general meeting..." Wu Nanhai continued, "We are now in a typical ownership chaos..."
"I don't understand." Ye Yuming was stunned and couldn't react for a while.
"What kind of institution do you think our Senate is?"
"Congress, of course."
"The Senate is essentially the board of directors of the East India Company!" Wu Nanhai said. "We are actually running a country now, just like the relationship between the British East India Company and India was the same thing back then!"
Ye Yuming felt very uncomfortable with this metaphor, but in terms of the specific distribution of power, he admitted that this was indeed the case.
"Even so, let's not forget that all the properties under the Cross Time Group belong to all the elders, but now our plate is getting bigger and bigger. We need to diversify the sources of funds; secondly, it is not just about building this society. The senators are participating, and we must also fully consider their interests. Finally, it is inappropriate for a company to run a country. So I think. From now on, we must clarify the responsibilities and rights. The Senate is in this state of the country. There should be changes. So I think it is necessary to evaluate the assets of state-owned enterprises now and confirm ownership. Separate state-owned and senate-owned enterprises so that the accounts can be clearly calculated in the future. Otherwise, the accounts will be confused over time."
He took a breath and seemed to have more to say: "Because of the unclear responsibilities and rights. There are still a series of issues that have not been explained in detail yet, such as whether land can be privately owned, etc. - If these issues are not understood, our system construction will , How can we continue to build the law?”
Ye Yuming said worriedly: "When your proposal is put forward, will it be considered as an attempt to carve up the Senate's property? Everyone is already worried about restructuring and joint-stock systems."
"Insisting on state-owned enterprises as the mainstay, this is an unshakable purpose. Now I am worried that the Senate and state-owned enterprises will be confused, which will cause trouble in the future." Wu Nanhai was a little excited, "I really want to have this intention, I can just pretend Confused, anyway, 'state-owned' means 'owned by the Senate'. The legal concepts for dividing the property are all ready-made. Now let's analyze it clearly, and then we can stop someone from using this name to divide the property of the Senate!"
Ye Yuming thought thoughtfully: "I don't think it's appropriate for you to say that." He continued, "There is also the issue of dividends from veteran shares, which is also a vague concept."
"That's right!" Wu Nanhai nodded repeatedly, "The Senate is the Senate, and the country is the country. They can no longer be confused. Now we are a typical case where government and enterprise are not separated, and responsibilities and powers are unclear."
Ye Yuming thought, Wu Nanhai was right. However, from a deeper perspective, if we do not take precautions to do these things now, the future generation of elders will one day be known as "dividing up state-owned property." The naturalized citizens of the future will not treat the Senate with simple and sincere loyalty like the current naturalized citizens, out of gratitude that is close to the gift of reconstruction. However, with the improvement of productivity and the improvement of the living standard and cultural level of the entire society, sooner or later they will "pick up the bowl to eat meat and put down the bowl to curse." By that time, the great and upright image of the Senate will inevitably be destroyed.
Don’t underestimate the image of Wei Guangzheng: since ancient times, what a government needs to maintain most is its own legitimacy. Ancient monarchs all claimed to have divine power, while modern countries do not claim to represent the interests of the country and the people. The country established by the Senate is naturally no exception.
I wonder how many elders have realized this? Ye Yuming thought with complicated emotions.
The two had a discussion on this issue and wrote a few memos. They talked until nearly ten o'clock before leaving - which was already very late in Lingao.
When Wu Nanhai returned home, it was already 10:30 in the evening. Wu Nanhai finished washing under Chu Qing's service, put on a pair of loose cotton pajamas and went to the living room to sit down. Chu Qing also wore a long nightgown at home. With the light on, Wu Nanhai opened the leather-bound Bible and said, "Come, today we are going to study Exodus 20:1-17."
*********
"After three and a half years of hard work, I returned to before liberation overnight." Li Yan said to Jiangshan with a smile, still holding the telegram he had just received in his hand.
"I'm sorry for saying this and your expression." Jiang Shan put down the documents in his hands and thought about the various reports recently submitted by the Ming Department, "What? Wu Ming was promoted to an officer?"
"Jiang Bureau is indeed well-planned..." Li Yan smiled and nodded, "Exactly!"
According to the telegram sent from Guangzhou, Wu Mingjin has been promoted to Leizhou Tongpan because his term has expired and his performance has been outstanding.
Judging from Wu Mingjin's performance evaluation, it is indeed time for him to be promoted and transferred. Neither the Senate nor the Intelligence Bureau were willing to let this excellent collaborator escape their control, so they linked him to the Tang Monk Project.
The Tang Seng Plan has taken nearly three years from the beginning to the present, and has always been one of the main tasks of the intelligence system - although as time goes by, people within the Executive Committee and the Intelligence Bureau continue to raise objections to this plan. There are doubts about whether it is necessary to continue, but the thought of being able to directly control a local official who is deeply involved in official circles is still quite tempting for those engaged in intelligence.
However, during the planning stage, the candidates for "Tang Monk" changed repeatedly, although they always focused on the down-and-out scholars. However, they discovered that it was not difficult to get the down-and-out scholars to seek refuge with them, but it was rare for them to become spies, and the psychological barriers were still very high.
Being a spy is always a dishonorable thing, let alone pretending to be a court official! For many scholars, the orthodox status of Ming Dynasty has not been completely broken.
Li Yan felt that instead of letting a poor scholar pretend to be the magistrate of Leizhou, it would be better to simply support a ready-made official to take the position. His idea was recognized by Jiangshan.
In Qiongzhou as a whole, there were many small Ming bureaucrats who were willing to embrace the Senate, and Wu Mingjin could only be regarded as half-recommended and half-conquered. However, thanks to the Senate, he has the best performance evaluation and will be transferred when his term is about to expire, so he is a more suitable candidate.
The only shortcoming is that the prefect of Leizhou is the fourth rank, while Wu Mingjin is only the seventh rank. According to the procedure, he must first be appointed as general judge, then tongzhi, and then he can be the prefect. If it were just an auxiliary officer like Zuo Er, it would be of little concern to the Intelligence Bureau.
"Actually, we have a way to get him to the top quickly." Li Yan said at the discussion meeting, "Just sell 'Tang Monk' directly."
