It’s the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the annual Spring Festival will be in a few days. On the first day of the first lunar month, the emperor will have a five-day holiday. You can have a good time for a few days.

At this time, Li Shanchang was still his prime minister. Hu Weiyong had not yet ascended to power, and the prime minister system had not been abolished. Lao Zhu also conquered Meng Yuan from time to time. The relationship with civil and military officials was not as tense as it was later. The Spring Festival holiday also continued with the Tang and Song Dynasties.

So it’s not that hard now. When they had a falling out, the civil and military officials became cold and violent and refused to cooperate. Push all matters big and small to Zhu Yuanzhang. Lao Zhu was also holding his breath at that time and would not refuse anyone who came. At this time, Lao Zhu thought to himself, can't you? I can handle these things by myself. If you want someone, there is none. I can do it, why can't you do it? Not only are the people missing. If you can't finish the work, you have to work overtime. If you can't work overtime, you won't have any holidays. Now we have five days off every month, including Spring Festival, Winter Solstice and so on. All future holidays will be in name only. There are only three days off a year, and they are only given during holidays.

It was then that I was called miserable, but now I have to cherish the moment. Things are arranged, wouldn't it be nice to go home and rest during the holidays?

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, everyone was notified, and everyone from Huimin Pharmacy came to the backyard and moved the benches to listen to Zheng Xiong's speech.

There were a group of doctors in front of them. Zheng Xiong and the chief and deputy doctors each prepared a table and sat in front of them. Behind Zheng Xiong is the food brought by the government office, which is also the salary of Zheng Xiong and the chief and deputy medical officers. Everything else is purchased. Physician salaries. These doctors who do not have a staff are all responsible for Zheng Xiong's Huimin Pharmacy.

Zheng Xiong sat at the table, and the year-end summary officially began.

Pay the salary first.

"Everyone has performed well this month, and I, Zheng Xiong, have kept my promise. I promised you a salary of three stones per month and will never break my promise. When the meeting is over, go to Medical Officer Wu and Medical Officer Li to register. Collect them in order and don't make any trouble. . In addition, I originally planned to prepare some New Year’s goods for you, but I didn’t know what to buy for everyone, so I sent an extra hundred yuan to each person. Go and buy it yourself.”

Everyone was very happy when wages were paid. I'm even more happy when I hear there are benefits. Liandao.

"My lord is mighty"

The happy things are over. It's a little more serious.

"Well, I've given you everything I'm supposed to give you, but if some of you skip work at will and go out to earn extra money during working hours, you have to talk to me about it."

"I won't mention names, but you should be aware of some things. The time I gave is very generous, and the treatment is not bad. Three shi of rice a month is enough for your family to eat and drink. The rest is enough to live in Nanjing. From now on, you should work hard during working hours. If there is an emergency, go to the two medical officers and ask for leave. I will not care about you whatever you want to do during off-duty hours. This is just a warning. If you do it again next time, I will leave."

Speaking of which, Zheng Xiong is actually the same, arriving late and leaving early. But who gave up this three-quarter acre of land, Zheng Xiong was the biggest. Being strict with others and being lenient to yourself is a common problem among most people. The eldest brother did not talk about the second brother, Zheng Xiong also gave him a chance.

Although I don't know how to manage, I have read too many novels, and some truths do not need to be taught. The way to control people is nothing more than to use kindness and power at the same time.

Just be aware of everything and not be fooled by the people below.

Not much to say, just a warning.

Seeing Zheng Xiong's serious expression, everyone became nervous. It's hard to find a job these days, especially at Huimin Pharmacy. The work is easy and the salary is enough to live on. You can also make some extra money in your free time. It would be terrible if you lost your job because of something like this. I kept them all secretly in my heart. They all nodded in agreement.

"You should know what you are doing. I won't say more. Most of you have performed well this year. The pharmacy has made a profit. Although it is not much, it is a hundred. But plus the profit from alcohol. Next year, the other three parties will The Huimin Pharmacy in the city can be started. I plan to recruit a group of people, and I will give priority to those you recommend. Among the six of you who perform well, you will take the lead next year. I will try my best to recruit from Fu Yin. Several establishments. Work hard and I won’t treat you badly.”

After tapping it, Zheng Xiong drew another cake.

Everyone ate the cake willingly. Zheng Xiong's promise has now been fulfilled. The benefits brought by the appearance of alcohol have made all this no longer a castle in the air. You can see it, only a fool would question it. I am very convinced of Zheng Xiong.

"You can discuss the vacation during the Chinese New Year period. Just discuss it with the two medical officers. That's it, let's break up the meeting."

He didn’t say much, he didn’t have the eloquence of the leader. If you can talk for hours, that's pretty much it.

After hearing that the meeting was dismissed, a group of people lined up, waiting to receive money and food. By the time we received the money and food here, it was already noon.

There are still more than ten shi of rice left on the field. Zheng Xiong was promoted to the eighth rank due to alcohol this month, with an annual salary of 70 shi. When a chief and deputy medical officer joins the establishment, the salary is 40 kilograms a year. A few people finished dividing it.

"You two have worked hard this year. Each of you will receive two hundred coins in the account later. You two will have to work harder next year."

Everyone else was getting benefits, so it was hard for Zheng Xiong to favor one over the other. He simply gave them to the two medical officers. The two of them got a hundred more coins than the others, which was regarded as a reward. After all, everything big and small depends on these two.

The two thanked him.

After finishing here, Zheng Xiong rushed to the next game. Wang Er, Zhao San, and Zhang Yi were now the core, and each of them served more than once.

I have only been working in the winery for more than a month, and there are a lot of people, maybe twenty or thirty people. In addition to salary, each person received an extra thirty cash.

After everything was settled, I looked at the bill records and found that the benefits were less than ten dollars, which was nothing compared to the value they created. Zheng Xiong was not a stingy person.

I'm the only one left, but there's no need to take it. Giving benefits to others, in a small way, means that everyone will make more progress in the coming year. When it comes to big things, it can win over people's hearts. But none of them will lead to death.

To seek benefits for yourself is to test that Lao Zhu's blade is not sharp. Lao Zhu was forced to have no food by corrupt officials since he was a child, and he hated corrupt officials the most. It would be really lifeless to get dozens of them.

Besides, I am not short of money and have enough food and clothing. You don't have to support your parents. This salary is completely sufficient.

Get your bills sorted. Make plans.

get off work.

The next day we rushed to Yingtianfu. Already informed. So Zheng Xiong also arranged his own affairs one day in advance. Just come here today and get some ears.

Officials from Yingtian Mansion, large and small, all arrived and came forward to report one by one. Official positions come one by one from big to small. Overall, it's just terrible. Although I try to avoid it, I don't have any money. Things are always not easy to handle.

If this was not the case, the magistrate of Yuan County would have specially added trouble.

"Your Excellency, there was a flood in Shangyuan County this year, and the people harvested very little. Although Xiaguan opened a granary to help the people. We can get through it this year, but we will need money and food for spring plowing and canal repair next year. I hope you will be merciful and allocate some money and food. . The tens of thousands of people in Shangyuan County are grateful."

Zheng Yiyan also had a headache after hearing this. Each of these things was worse than the last, as they all required money and food. He could only look at the other county magistrates.

Several other county magistrates are also human beings, with their eyes observing their noses and their noses observing their hearts. They all suffered disasters, but they were not so serious, and taxes could not be collected. It’s a bit of a tax, but it’s just enough for yourself. It's really futile to support others.

Zheng Yiyan also knew that when it came to money and food, the governor was not easy to do, so he directly named several counties that were not affected by the disaster and mobilized money and food support.

Seeing that they could not escape, the magistrates of Jurong and Lishui could only come out and say yes.

It was Zheng Xiong's turn and he handed the account book and plan to Fu Yin.

After flipping through it casually, Zheng Yiyan's eyes lit up. Huimin Pharmacy not only made a profit, but also built a winery. There will also be a profit of 5,000 yuan in the next month. Just as he was about to open his mouth and prepare to withdraw some money, he turned over the plan book. There are many projects in the coming year. The other three outer cities had to be built, and there was no other solution. The Huimin Pharmacy was originally built just to deal with it. Political correctness.

I don’t expect to make any money from this. Now that it’s done well, I can’t just say I won’t build it anymore. I can only blame myself for approving so many lands.

There is nothing I can do about being jealous now.

"Zheng Tiling has done a great job. Huimin Pharmacy started from scratch and only took 10,000 yuan from me. Now it is self-reliant and has room for expansion. It is really a blessing for the people. You all want it. Study hard and don’t just ask for money.”

Yes, this sentence directly made Zheng Xiong the target of public criticism. Originally, everyone was suffering haha. The eldest brother does not talk about the second brother. Zheng Xiong's behavior caused everyone to lose face and dignity.

In front of Zheng Yiyan, everyone couldn't say anything.

After the meeting ended, everyone became sarcastic.

"Zheng Ti has great skills"

Be calm, don't cause trouble, and talk loudly, who can't do that? No need. If you can't solve the problem, you will just create a group of enemies. Originally, I was just unconvinced, and if I became enemies, the gains would outweigh the losses.

If you're not the absolute protagonist, don't say that everyone working on it is rubbish. That's because I didn't die quickly enough.

There are no things much ado about.

Go home and take a nap, it’s another day full of energy
