Vol 2 Chapter 909: Ancestral law

Autumn is high and fresh.
It is the harvest season of the year.
Beirong and Xiliang once again sent troops south to plunder.
The pressure on the side forces doubled.
The long border, the force was dispersed.
Beirong and Xiliang were defeated individually, and the battle was extremely unfavorable for Da Zhou for a while.
The atmosphere on the front line is tense.
Beijing singing and dancing rise to peace.
The number of rickshaw drivers has grown to 1,500 in a short period of time from the original 100.
Other private car companies have also entered the rickshaw market.
Buy a two-wheeler, recruit a coachman, and also wear a red vest, but the name on the back of the vest is different. Openly grab business with Huimin Motor Company.
In order to grab business, even play a price war.
Originally, it was to rely on strength to eat, and then play a price war, where there is still money.
Ma Xiaoliu, in the name of Universal Transport, convened a meeting with the owners of major automobile dealers in Beijing to formulate industry regulations.
People in the same industry should unite instead of disrupting the market by fighting a price war. In the end, no one can make any money.
Of course some people are not convinced.
Ma Xiaoliu's attitude was clear, and he had to hold back even if he was not satisfied.
All car dealers that do not abide by industry rules will cancel the order and refuse to cooperate.
This is the advantage of controlling the upstream supply chain.
Oneworld transportation is the only one, and it has no competitors.
Whether it is a four-wheeled carriage or a two-wheeled rickshaw, you have to buy it from Huanyu Transportation.
Of course, some people try to imitate.
However, technical barriers cannot be broken, and imitation fails. I can only watch the world transportation make a lot of money.
For rickshaws, after the industry rules were formulated, the entire market developed in an orderly manner.
Jingcheng Xiaomin, whoever has some money on hand, is used to calling a rickshaw when going out.
Even the court officials, especially those with ranks of six, seven, and eight, as well as various yamen officials. The horse-raising cart is too expensive, so they simply hire a rickshaw and pick them up every morning and evening.
Zhou Shi'an packed a rickshaw, with 20 penalties a day, and pick up and drop off at fixed times.
In order to make the rickshaw look clean and upscale, the driver also bought a wool cushion to cushion the seat.
It is hot in summer, so put a bamboo mat on it.
It is cold in winter, so remove the bamboo mat directly.
Zhou Shian was sitting on the rickshaw, holding the newspaper bought at the newsstand in his hand.
He buys two newspapers regularly.
One is "Big Zhou Life Show" and the other is "Guo Zi Jian Bao".
The time on the road is just right for reading the newspaper.
In fact, the newspaper he most wanted to buy was "Shanhe College Newspaper."
However, "Shanhe College Newspaper" has been insisting on not publishing it to the public for many years, so he has to ask someone to find a relationship if he wants to read "Shanhe College Newspaper".
He first quickly browsed the "Big Zhou Life Show".
Next year will be the year of imperial examinations, and the whole world will gather in the capital. The rental market in Xinmin County is booming, and even the business of Wenqing Bookstore has increased by 30 to 40%.
Recently, various books related to imperial examinations have been selling very well.
In the book sales ranking list, the top five are all imperial examination books.
Zhou Shian shook his head.
"Wenqing Bookstore earns money for students rushing to take the exam, and has to make a lot of money."
"Guozijianbao" published an editorial.
Sanyuangong Yang Yuanqing and Sun Zhuangyuan took students out to study, and they would not be able to return until two or three years later.
In the imperial examination year next year, what will Shanhe Academy compete with the Imperial College?
Next year's imperial examinations, the hall examinations, whether in number or ranking, the Imperial College will surely win the Shanhe Academy.
Without Sanyuangong and Sun Zhuangyuan's Shanhe Academy, it is a tiger with its teeth pulled out and cannot be called a king.
Guozijian can take the opportunity to be ashamed.
Zhou Shian frowned and shook his head, "Where does the courage of the Imperial College come from? It's easy to magnify, if it's too embarrassing to be beaten in the face."
Neither newspaper has too much news, but there are a few more job postings.
There are car dealers recruiting driver, and the treatment is favorable.
Zhou Shian became curious and asked the driver, "How much money do you have to give to the dealer when you pull the car every day? Do you have any money?"
"Our car dealer collects fifteen cents every day. As long as you work harder, you can still make a profit. It's better than before."
"This official seems to have heard that Huimin Motor Company only needs ten cents a day for money. Wouldn't it be too bad for you to give fifteen cents."
The coachman said: "The ten-century money that the adults talked about is all the old emperor's calendar. On the Huimin car dealership, except for the first batch of coachmen who only need to give the ten-century money, the drivers hired later are all fifteenth-century people. money.
The owner said that this is an industry system and a unified standard for the entire industry. Even if we pull the car to charge, the price is the same as that of Huimin car dealers, and we never charge a penny more or less. "
Zhou Shian asked curiously: "Unified industry standards, is it good or bad for your driver?"
"Of course it's good! The price is uniform, so there is no need to lower the price to solicit customers, everyone has money to make."
"How's the business every day? Is there a situation where you can't wait for a customer for a day?"
"That's not true! More and more people come to the capital nowadays. Go to the east city of Xishi, to the gates of various yamen, or to Xinmin County, and you can wait for a guest with at most one cup of tea. Especially those who participate in the imperial examination. The elders are all people who don’t need money. When going out, they are not willing to squeeze a carriage with a group of people, they will call a rickshaw, and the reward is generous. I sent the adults to Yamen, and the young ones also planned to go to Xinmin County. Lajuren master, get a few more rewards."
Zhou Shian laughed, "It's not close to go from Yamen to Xinmin County."
The coachman said, "It's okay. It happened to be on the way to pull the woman who went to Xinmin County to buy meat and vegetables on the road."
Zhou Shian said: "After so many years, the little women in Beijing are still used to going to Xinmin County to buy meat and vegetables."
"It's cheap and fresh, and you can save a lot of money if you buy more. It's just strange that the business of the Sihai butcher shop is so good, why don't you consider opening one in the city for everyone's convenience."
Zhou Shian said: "If Sihai Meat and Vegetable Shop opens a branch in the city, where can the small merchants and hawkers in the city have business. The Sihai Meat and Vegetable Shop is to make way for small merchants and hawkers."
Just like Huanyu Transportation, technical barriers make Huanyu Transportation the world's top iron manufacturer.
It is too simple to want to monopolize and make others go bankrupt.
But Huanyu Transportation did not do so.
Not only did it not force the small private ironsmith workshop to go bankrupt, but also cooperated with various workshops. As a result, the small iron workshops in the capital are backed by global transportation, and their business has improved.
This is Gu Jiu's business philosophy.
If you have money, you can make money together and don't eat alone.
First of all, ensure the interests of the ordinary people, and at the same time win over the official class and the noble family class.
Bundling everyone's interests together, it has been smooth for so many years, and no one is looking for trouble.
Zhou Shian pondered this set of business philosophy, and the deeper he thought about it, the more surprised he became.
At the door of the Yamen, the coachman put him down.
Zhou Shian started a busy day at work.
After finishing his work, he began to write analytical articles on the concept of business in the world.
The deeper the article is, the more difficult it is for Zhou Shian to conceal his inner shock.
Master Lu found that something was wrong with him, and asked a few words with concern.
Zhou Shian wiped his face and handed the half-written article to Master Lu, which contained more than a hundred thousand words.
"Xiaguan rides a rickshaw back and forth every day, so I want to do some research on the world. This is the analysis data written by the Xiaguan. I just wrote it halfway, making adults laugh."
"Brother Zhou is too humble."
Master Lu picked up a thick pile of materials and flipped through it.
The more I watched, the more shocked.
Shocked by Zhou Shian's talents, vision, and the depth of the problem.
"Okay! Brother Zhou is really talented!"
"My lord is absurd!"
"No, no, this official is not being polite with you. Brother Zhou's information, no, it should be said that this book written by Brother Zhou is too useful. Can you lend it to this official to study it for a few days."
"My lord doesn't dislike it, just take it."
Master Lu spent sleep and food and read Zhou Shian's books.
Zhou Shian struggled with writing and continued to write the rest.
It took a few days for Master Lu to finish the reading, but the excitement couldn't calm down for a long time.
This is not only an analysis of the world, but also a lot of inspiration for Master Lu.
Hundreds of thousands of refugees can be managed in an orderly manner because the managers know the essence of management.
While strictly controlling the refugees, it also gave the refugees a chance to survive on their own.
It is like a toll station. The management is extremely strict. You check your accounts every half a month, return to work every year and a half, and take exams every year, and you must know how to write and calculate.
There are so many requirements and so strict management, but no one quit.
Even the most disobedient group of soldiers who had retired from the Sirius Army insisted on entering the toll booth, and none of them quit.
Because strict control is accompanied by high salaries and various benefits.
As small as three meals a day, the meals are full, and the tooth sacrifices are held once a day or two. Four sets of clothes, footwear and socks are available throughout the year. Global recruitment, giving priority to employees’ family members.
If you buy a house at a discount in Xinmin County, you can also have priority to buy shares in Universal World.
With such benefits, I don’t know how many people want to work at toll booths.
What's more, in the past two years, talents have applied to toll booths.
why?
Zhou Shian's book is very clear.
Master Lu can't wait to see what follows.
With Zhou Shian's consent, Master Lu submitted his book to Emperor Wen De for review.
Emperor Wen De looked at the recommendation of Mr. Lu and read it at will.
Unexpectedly, I was fascinated after reading the beginning.
Of course, Zhou Shian was summoned and asked what he thought.
Zhou Shian, who was dozens of years old, was unavoidably excited to be so close to the emperor for the first time.
After being excited, I knew this was my opportunity.
He talked freely and skillfully sold his views to Emperor Wen De.
The core point of view is to strictly restrict management officials and conduct irregular assessments rather than superficial assessments, while improving the treatment of officials.
Ensure that the official earns money alone and can support the whole family.
Rather than lead a low salary, try to be greedy for ink.
Emperor Wen De was silent.
It's easy to say that it's easy to raise the salary of officials.
Where does the money come from?
What should I do after the salary increase?
Moreover, this matter is not only a question of money, but also involves the ancestral law.
The rules were set by the ancestors. To raise the salary is tantamount to overthrowing the ancestors' laws and carry out a major change.
No one knows the risks involved.
Emperor Wende shook his head.
