Chapter 116 I understand the truth, but you are not allowed to do it! (Here we come! Please vote!)

After preliminary investigation, Zhang Heng already had some understanding of the minister's library and had some preliminary ideas, so he approached Wu Yu.

Although he is now in charge of the warehouse and treasury affairs, Wu Yu is the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture after all, and he still needs to communicate with him if there is any big move, lest Wu Yu be caught off guard.

When Wu Yu saw Zhang Heng, he smiled and said: "You have just taken office, and you are said to be very busy. You are recruiting people for meetings. Looking at you like this, do you have an idea?"

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "I have some ideas, so I'm here to discuss them with you."

Wu Yu laughed and said, "Your errand is given by the officials, so just do it. When the time comes, you will find the officials to deal with the errands."

Zhang Heng smiled slightly: "I still have to communicate with you, teacher, to avoid being caught off guard."

Wu Yu's smile suddenly froze on his face: "Why do I feel like something is wrong?"

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "It's not that bad, I'm still reliable in my work."

But Wu Yu didn't dare to be careless: "Hurry up and tell me, tell me."

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "There are more than thirty warehouses in the warehouse, and I have met and chatted with them in the past few days. It would be too difficult to organize them all at once, and the energy would be too scattered, so I plan to choose

When one family comes out, treat it as a pilot first, rectify it carefully and get results, and then gradually rectify the other families."

When Wu Yu heard this, he immediately appreciated it: "Reliable, reliable, I would say you are a reliable person. This way of doing things has rules and regulations, not bad, not bad."

Zhang Heng was encouraged and continued: "The family I chose is the Minister's Library..."

Wu Yu's expression changed again: "... Minister Ku."

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "Yes, the Minister's Treasury. The Minister's Treasury covers a wide range. It is found almost all over the country. It is large in size and relatively complex. It is a very representative organization in warehouse treasury. If

If the ministerial warehouse can be reorganized successfully, then there will probably be no problems with other warehouses and warehouses."

Wu Yu's face looked a little solemn, and he nodded: "How do you plan to rectify it specifically?"

"Contracting." Zhang Heng said two words softly, "To be specific, it's called the contracting management responsibility system. I investigated the actual operating conditions of the warehouse's treasury and found that there are many problems.

For example, not to mention the chronic diseases of corruption, bribery, and perversion of the law, one of the biggest problems is that most of these officials, whether they are subordinates or subordinates, have little enthusiasm.

Therefore, even though the organization itself has great advantages, it cannot fully utilize them, so I plan to use contracting operations to stimulate their enthusiasm..."

Wu Yu frowned: "Contracting, does this mean that the warehouse's treasury services are contracted out to an individual?"

Zhang Heng nodded: "Yes, we set a fixed handover ratio with the contractor. For example, for the embassy in a county, the government not only had to give them money every year, but also gave them a lot of materials. The government needed it

Invest a lot of money.

Now we don’t do this anymore. We directly contract the county’s embassy to others without giving money or supplies.

They also need to hand over a certain percentage of profits every year. For example, the ministerial treasury only takes 30% to 40% of the profits, and the rest belongs to the contractor himself.

After one year of this, the Minister's Treasury will be able to make a profit immediately, and the amount of profit may exceed one million yuan!"

Wu Yu almost laughed: "How is this possible? You originally gave me money and supplies, but now you don't give them, and you still ask them to pay for it. Isn't this a joke?"

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Teacher, if I were to run the embassy, ​​although I would have to bear the expenses for the reception of officials, which is not a small burden, I would also use the advantages of the embassy itself to provide services to the people.

Make profit.

The embassy has great advantages. For example, the embassy is an embassy of the government. For many wealthy civilians, it is an unattainable place. If it can be opened to the public, teacher, you said, those rich people and the like

Will they be flocking to you?"

Wu Yu thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's how it should be."

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Most of the legations are luxuriously decorated and strategically located. They are very attractive places to stay for businessmen traveling from north to south.

The key is that the embassy is very safe, which is also a big advantage.

In addition, all kinds of materials in the legation are official goods. Although we do not give them to them, the legation can still purchase them from the legation treasury.

We can put the name of the Minister's Treasury on these items, and they can show them off when they take them out.

Therefore, as long as the legation is open to the public, the profits earned can not only cover the costs of official travel, but can also save a large part. After part of it is turned over to the legation treasury, the contractor will earn more.

Moreover, the more actively the contractor operates, the more he earns, and in this way, the envoy's treasury can earn more profits!"

After listening to Zhang Heng's analysis, Wu Yu frowned more and more, and finally said directly: "This is not feasible."

Zhang Heng was stunned and said: "What does the teacher mean?"

Wu Yudao: "Have you ever thought that once it is implemented like this, the minister's library will lose its original role?

The original function of the Minister's Treasury was for the government to bear the costs of official exchanges, so as to prevent officials from harassing the people when they crossed the border.

If you make such a reform, the contractors may shirk their responsibilities in this area, or in other words, they may deduct officials' entertainment expenses. This will arouse the anger of officials all over the world, and then the finger will be pointed at you!

So, the final result is that Minister Ku has indeed made money, but you have become the target of public criticism!"

Wu Yu looked at Zhang Heng seriously and said: "...If you do this, I believe you will definitely make a profit, but your future may be ruined, so do you understand?"

Zhang Heng smiled and nodded: "Teacher, I know the consequences clearly."

Seeing Zhang Heng's appearance, Wu Yu suddenly became anxious: "Why, you want to continue?"

Zhang Heng nodded: "Well, teacher, I want to give it a try."

Seeing that Zhang Heng did not listen to the advice, Wu Yu waved his hand: "No, I don't agree with this matter, let's just stop it.

Today I have someone send you documents, and they all need to be signed by you. You should study them carefully and study them carefully. If you have different opinions, you can put them forward. You can quarrel with whomever you want, and I will support you.

But don’t worry about the warehouse affairs. I will talk to the officials about this matter. If he insists on his opinion, even if I, the prefect, don’t do it, I will slap him in the face!"

Zhang Heng: "..."

Wu Yu was unwilling to talk to him anymore, and waved to see him off. Zhang Heng wanted to talk again, but Wu Yu glared at him: "Go back to the judge's hall!"

Zhang Heng got up angrily and returned to the judge's hall.

When Wu Yu saw him leaving, he went out in a hurry and found Zeng Gongliang in the Hanlin Academy.

Zeng Gongliang saw Wu Yu and smiled and said: "Why is Chunqing here? It seems that Nanya is very leisurely. You have time to wander around."

Wu Yu quickly pulled Zeng Gongliang to a deserted place and whispered urgently: "Something big has happened!"

Zeng Gongliang was startled: "What is it that deserves your special trip?"

Wu Yu quickly talked about Zhang Heng's affairs, and now Zeng Gongliang's face became solemn: "Chun Qing, you did the right thing, you can't let him destroy his future. I will send someone to call him immediately, and go to the mansion in the evening."

Here, tell him carefully, Chunqing, thank you!"

Zeng Gongliang solemnly expressed his gratitude.

Wu Yu spat: "You are his teacher, don't forget, I am also his teacher!"

Zeng Gongliang laughed dryly and said: "That's that."

Zhang Heng was studying the affairs of the minister's treasury in the judge's hall. The person sent by Zeng Gongliang told the matter. Zhang Heng immediately reacted: Wu Yu told Zeng Gongliang the matter.

Sure enough, when we arrived at Zeng's house in the evening, Zeng Gongliang was indeed talking about this matter.

"...This matter is not feasible! Don't do it randomly. I was not thinking carefully before. I will discuss it with the officials tomorrow. The officials value talents and will not let you step into these pits."

Zhang Heng sighed helplessly and said: "Teacher, please don't tell the officials. This disciple has already decided to do it."

Zeng Gongliang said anxiously: "You kid, why don't you listen to my advice? This is no small matter. You have offended officials all over the world. There is no place for you in this court!"

Zhang Heng said: "Teacher, these days everyone in the imperial court is discussing the matter of change, and everyone believes that change is inevitable. If it remains unchanged, the country will not be a country!

Teacher, in this world of great changes, no one can live alone. Since I entered the officialdom, I want to do something for this country.

I can't do big things, but disciples can start from these small things. If you can't do these small things well, will you be able to do big things in the future?"

Zeng Gongliang fell silent for a while and then said: "What you said makes sense..."

Zhang Heng was delighted.

"...But you are not allowed to do it!"

Zhang Heng was embarrassed.

Zeng Gongliang said: "If I were your colleague, I would definitely praise you for your loyalty to the country, but I am your teacher and your father-in-law. I can't look at the abyss ahead and let you go."

Plunge in, so don’t mention this matter again.”

Zhang Heng sighed and was about to say something when a clear voice suddenly came: "I support Brother Sanlang!"

Zeng Gongliang was stunned when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Youwei, you are a girl, what do you know!"

Zeng Youwei strode in. She was obviously the girl Yingying Tingting, but she had a shocking bravery.

Zeng Youwei smiled at Zhang Heng, then looked at her father and said: "Dad, what San Lang wants to do is beneficial to the country, does not violate filial piety, and is the order of the monarch. There is nothing that cannot be done."

Zeng Gongliang said angrily: "What do you know! Do you know that if you do this, your husband's career in officialdom will be ruined! Do you understand?"

Zeng Gongliang was a little angry, but Zeng Youwei smiled and said: "Youwei doesn't think so. Sanlang is right. Today is a major change that has not happened in a century. It has been a hundred years since the Song Dynasty was established. Now there are external and internal troubles. This is all

people's consensus.

The current imperial court has reached a time when it is no longer possible to remain unchanged. This is the time when people who are brave and diligent and dare to appoint people are needed to do things. At this time, the more courageous you are to do things, the more you will be appreciated by the officials!"

Zeng Gongliang sneered and said: "Being wise and self-preserving is the foundation of a good life. I have never seen anyone who reformed have a good death. Shang Yang's reform caused his body to be broken, Wu Qi's reform caused random arrows to attack his body, and Fan Li still had a good death, but in the end he also ended up with a good death."

The end of a boat trip on the West Lake is the king's, so what does it have to do with you?"
