The Richest Man Yang Fei

Chapter 247 Ming Dynasty Station

"Everyone knows that transportation in ancient times was inconvenient and not as developed as it is now. The existence of post stations is particularly important. Post stations are an important way to transmit military information in ancient times, and they are also places for boarding and lodging and changing horses on the way to and from officials. In the early Ming Dynasty, officials were free. There are strict regulations on using post stations, coupled with the strict administration of officials, almost no officials dare to try their own methods, and the post households can barely pass their lives."

"However, in the late Ming Dynasty, which was full of troubles, many officials and even their family members who were not eligible to enjoy the post station all took part in the post station. One is to use the free transportation of the post station, in addition to transporting their own luggage, they also carry supplies for other businesses. What has been achieved? What is the extent? According to historical records, every time an official crosses the border, there are one to twenty sedan chairs, eight to ninety loads on the shoulders, two to three hundred civilian husbands for many, and four to fifty horses for the few."

Tie Lianping said leisurely: "People in ancient times really enjoyed it. When one person makes a fortune, it takes hundreds of people to serve him."

Yang Fei didn't answer, and continued: "Officials who don't like to ride horses or don't know how to ride horses, most of them travel in sedan chairs. Because they don't ride horses, they have to charge 'horse money' from the post station. What is horse money? It means I didn't ride you You have to give me the money you saved. Occasionally, if an official rides a horse, you have to charge the post station for "horse pity money", which means that I have ridden your horse so that your horse can be used. , so you also have to give me filial piety."

Wei Xinyuan said: "Isn't that nonsense? Don't give them money? They are officials passing by, what else can they do?"

Yang Fei said indifferently: "Once the post station does not pay this strange fee, the officials will try their best to torture the horses, such as cutting off the horse's ears, cutting off the horse's tail, or even torturing the horse to death."

Everyone looked at each other, feeling chilled by the darkness and distortion of human nature.

Zhao Wenbo asked: "Then who will bear the expenses? Is it the court?"

Yang Feidao: "The maintenance and operation of the post stations in the Ming Dynasty were borne by the households according to the amount of grain in the field. The horses for the post stations were also provided by the surrounding farmers, and the people went to the post stations to serve officials free of charge. This is a kind of corvee. , contains unfair and unreasonable elements, but still suffers such torture and injury. Naturally, they can hide and escape when they can. Later, ten husbands and nine out of ten horses and nine shortages in the post station, the operation is not good down."

After the story is told, those who can understand will naturally think twice, and those who don't understand are also thinking about the meaning of the story.

Yang Fei waited for everyone to digest for two minutes, and then slowly said: "Let me make an analogy, beautiful and daily cosmetics, this post station, everyone is either the steward of the post station, or the officials in the past, and some are the people around. If everyone If everything is done step by step and each does his own thing, then the post station will be able to provide benefits to everyone, allow those in charge to receive wages, allow officials to enjoy the convenience of communication, and allow civilian husbands to easily complete corvee. If the station continues to develop benignly, the benefits will continue to increase Well, there will be more and more horses, more and more ingredients, and everyone will benefit.

"

When he said this, the cadres of Tielian and Pingping Village also understood, and nodded their heads in agreement.

Yang Fei said: "What about the opposite? If everyone wants to get more benefits from the post station, you will be greedy, and I will also smoke a little bit. After a while, this post station will have to go bankrupt, and the officials in the past will no longer have people to receive them, and they will not be able to enjoy the warmth." For board and lodging, civilian husbands must use other harsher forms to complete corvee service, and if the steward loses the post, he will lose his job."

"Boss, we all understand what you said." Zhao Wenbo said, "When it comes to specific things, do you have anything to say?"

Yang Fei signaled him to be calm and calm, and said: "Voltaire, the French philosopher, said that no snowflake feels responsible for an avalanche. In the same way, each of us may become a crushing post." the last straw."

Wei Xinyuan took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

In this cold day, although the air conditioner was turned on in the meeting room, it was not too hot to sweat. He was nervous, and he was also scared by Yang Fei's words!

He has already understood Yang Fei's fable!

Wei Xinyuan glanced at Tie Lianping, licked his chapped lips, and muttered for a while.

After Yang Fei finished speaking, he picked up the cup in front of him, lifted the lid, blew on the steaming water, and took a sip of tea.

He didn't speak, and the pressure on Wei Xinyuan and the others was even greater. The air seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.

"Boss, I'm sorry!" Wei Xinyuan summoned up all his courage to say this, and at the same time felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, like a light on his back, and changed his sitting position uneasily.

The corner of Yang Fei's mouth raised slightly: "Why do you say I'm sorry?"

Wei Xinyuan hummed lightly, and said, "I didn't report the employee's theft to the boss in time, because I was thinking at the time that this is a trivial matter, so I don't need to trouble you, the boss."

Yang Fei said: "People use thoughts only to cover up their mistakes, while they use words to cover up their thoughts. So what? Why are you apologizing to me now?"

Wei Xinyuan couldn't sit still anymore, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Others have also heard that what the boss is telling is not a story, but the reality of the beautiful daily chemical factory!

Tie Lianping said loudly: "Boss Yang, this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Wei, it's all my idea. I told him to suppress it and not report it to you."

Yang Fei's face darkened, and he asked: "Secretary Tie, so you want to send the post station to the point of no return?"

Tie Lianping was stunned, his eyes were wide open, and he said repeatedly, "I don't want to, I dare not. I, I just, I just... I'm sorry for you."

Su Changqing smoothed things over and said: "Boss Yang, the matter has already happened and has been dealt with, so don't pursue it anymore? It's actually not a big deal."

Yang Fei stared at Su Changqing with sharp eyes, and said: "Director Su is best at making peace, being a peacemaker. Do you all think that I, Yang Fei, are rich, and I am so rich that I am so rich that people Stealing something without damaging my foundation is just a drop in the bucket, and I made a big fuss about it, right?"

Everyone was silent.

Yang Fei emphasized: "I'm rich, I don't deny it, and I'm usually very generous, as everyone has seen, I can treat the whole village to eat meat for free, and I can also give each of you a high salary! But, don't forget Yes, that's what I'm willing to pay! It's not about who will steal it, who will snatch it away! The nature of the two is different!"

Everyone was shocked.

Yang Fei said, "Secretary Tie, Director Su, you have all experienced the era of big pot rice, is it good? Well, of course it is very good, because everyone has food to eat! But why is big pot rice not popular now? Because everyone is reaching out to eat , but there is no one to create and work!"

"Boss Yang, we were really wrong." Tie Lianping said with difficulty, "It's my fault. One of those people is my natal brother-in-law. I have selfish intentions."

He finally told the truth of the matter! ()
