Chapter 198 Contract Guarantee
Huang Zongxi took out a few contracts from the box and handed them over to his servants, "Take them over and let them read them. Everyone, the government has spent so much effort and done so many things, not to earn your money, but to completely relieve your worries. The ocean in the distance is wide enough, and my Chinese people have never lacked the courage to make a living, and I hope you can be the pioneers of this group."
After watching, everyone whispered. After a while, they recommended someone to speak for them. "Mr. Huang, you just said that you should be able to speak in everything. So some of the words were said directly. I hope you can forgive me if there are any inappropriate things."
Huang Zongxi smiled and said, "Some words will be explained in advance, which will save a lot of trouble in the future. Besides, the current rules are still being formulated, and what I am talking about may not be the final resolution. If there is any problem, you can just mention it. Whether it is appropriate or not, we can discuss it slowly."
Everyone did not expect Huang Zongxi to be so easy to talk to this time, and gradually became relieved. "Sir, what you just said is that both Wanquandai and Huaxia Insurance Company are all from the government. As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the government. Even if there are any disputes in the future, how dare we resort to the government? Besides, in the end, it is not the government that has the final say."
Huang Zongxi shook his head, "It's not the case, there is still a big difference here."
He pondered for a moment, as if he was brewing a sentence, and after a while, he slowly said: "Tell me this way! Although Wanquandai Business and Huaxia Insurance Company were all created by the government, they are not the government, and even their operations have no direct relationship with the government. Of course, everything in this company belongs to the government, but the government does not participate in its operations. The government will assign a large shopkeeper who is responsible for making decisions, managing the company's property, presiding over the company's operations, etc.."
"Simply put, except that it was created by the government, the others are no different from your private ones. Even these companies need to pay taxes to the government. Moreover, if you feel that it charges too high, you can even create the same company and compete with it. In this regard, it has no preferential treatment. If you must distinguish, these companies are called official companies, and yours are called private companies."
"When a dispute arises, the Ministry of Justice, which executes the judgment, emphasizes justice, presides over justice, and will never be biased against any party. So, you can rest assured. You see, you should have heard of Yu Chenglong and Yu Beiming today, and some people call him Master Qingtian. He is here today to make the decision for you. In the future, there will be a special set of laws to deal with such property disputes so that there is a law to follow and fairness."
In order to convince everyone, Huang Zongxi made a decision and threw Yu Chenglong out.
Yu Chenglong was drinking tea, and the disaster fell directly on his forehead, and he was shocked. But he just hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "It is necessary to be cautious about formulating the law, but Taichong said it right. With the prosperity of the sea trade, such a special law is indeed needed. I will convene people to discuss it later. In the future, I may visit you here to ask some things that you don't understand, so that this law can be perfected. I hope you will support it at that time."
Seeing that Yu Chenglong had not dismantled his own platform, Huang Zongxi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "In this way, you can always feel at ease! In fact, even the government can sue. As long as you ask for reasonableness, Lord Yu will also give you justice."
Looking at the crowd who were obviously relieved, Huang Zongxi continued, "Everyone, let's talk about these things here! If you still have any questions, write them down and hand them over to my subordinates. They can answer some questions. If they can't, wait until I have time to go back to you. Not far from here is my office place, and you can come to see me at any time. As for some basic questions, I will also ask my subordinates to edit them into a book for you to refer to in the future."
After saying that, Huang Zongxi looked outside and smiled, "It's noon unknowingly. You guys are probably hungry, so let's eat something before chatting." He turned to look to the side, his subordinates understood and walked out the door.
After a while, more than a dozen servants came in one after another. Each of them was carrying a huge tray with some strange food inside.
Huang Zongxi picked up two of them, one long and one round, and said, "The red skin is called sweet potato, and the yellow skin is called potato. Just peel off the thin layer of skin outside and you can use it directly. These two things have a special benefit, which is that the yield is particularly high, higher than the yield of wheat and rice. You can cook, roast it, and the potato can be cut into slices and fried, and they taste good. There is a lot of fertile fields at home here, so you can try to grow these two things. I can guarantee that the silver sold after harvest will definitely come more than the food sold. And there is another thing to tell you, the government will encourage the people to plant these two foods in the next step to try to solve the problem of famine in Shandong. I hope you can actively respond to this matter at that time. And..."
As he said that, Huang Zongxi pointed to other people, "This thorny one is called durian. You need to peel off the shell and eat the flesh inside. The taste is like stinky tofu, smelling smelly and eating it. This fiery red one is called dragon fruit, which also eats the flesh inside. It tastes slightly sweet. This one with similar shape to pine nuts is called melon seeds, also called sunflower seeds, which can be eaten raw, but the taste is better after being fried. And these are candies and pastries made of various fruits. All of these are local specialties from Nanyang and Qiongzhou, and made from local specialties as raw materials. The rich products in Nanyang refer to this. These things are everywhere in Nanyang, but they are rare in Shandong, and the prices will rise several times, or even dozens of times. How much profit can you make in other businesses? Although the risks of going to sea are high, the profits are also high! Come on, come on, how does it taste like this?"
