"Please also ask Mr. Yang to explain clearly what needs to be done for the six doors??"
Liumen was naturally willing to get involved in water transportation. Although he had shares in a bank in the capital, Liumen was not like Dali Temple, with two or three cats and dogs.
Six Doors has its own branches in various states, counties, prefectures and even counties. It is roughly estimated that tens of thousands of people depend on Six Doors for food, and life is tight.
"Your Majesty has given me the power to reorganize the Caogang. I intend to re-establish a Caogang. Based on the vast number of working people who transport water, guided by the Dali Temple and supervised by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I will establish a Caogang that is led by the imperial court, loved by the people, and has a prosperous society.
Congratulations to the great gang.”
Yang Qingyuan paused and continued to explain, "The original Caobang did not fully exert its function as a platform. Instead, it was more like a businessman who bullied and dominated the market! My initial opinion is this, we should build Caobang into a platform connecting the whole country.
platform.”
"Wherever there is water transportation, there will be this platform, so that merchants who need to transport goods can find porters and boatmen to load the goods as soon as possible. In this way, freight merchants do not need to hire long-term workers themselves, which reduces the operating costs of small merchants.
.”
"Let the porters and boatmen be of use in the first place, so that all their hard work can be paid off. If they can have enough to eat, they will not think about rebellion. Ordinary people don't have much ambition, as long as they can have enough to eat, they can live a good life."
, that’s enough! It’s also beneficial to the stability of the country.”
"Then how can we profit from this?!" Liu Dufeng listened to Yang Qingyuan's narrative. His core idea was to make concessions that benefit the people, but how could they gain profits from this concession?
"Actually, the profit method is still the same as before, charging fees from the porters and porters, but the amount has been slightly modified. I sent people to ask the porters. After combining the previous accounts within the cao gang, if a
People need to register at the Caobang Office, and they need to pay a fee of 120 yuan a month!"
"One hundred and twenty coins?! It's just registration?!" Liu Dufeng has already noticed the problem. How much income can these porters and boatmen earn in a month? If they don't do anything for a month, they have to pay one hundred and twenty coins. This is more than
I don’t know how many times the imperial tax has increased!?
"Just registering requires this amount! This is one of the main reasons for the hardship of life as a laborer. So we have to change the amount. The monthly membership fee is thirty cents, which is only one cent per day, but Liu Captou is different.
Don't underestimate this amount. With just this penny, Shendu alone can collect dozens of taels of help every day."
"Then there is the commission. Cao gangs need to operate, and of course money is needed. Pan Qianweng used to draw three out of ten, and the canal workers had to pay their own taxes. We changed it to one out of ten, and we uniformly paid the canal transport commission.
The company pays taxes.”
"In addition, it is necessary to set a minimum daily wage standard in the name of the Water Transport Department. Taking porters as an example, as long as they are hired, they need to pay a minimum wage of twenty coins a day, and the specific amount depends on the quantity of goods. And this silver coin
We collect the money on behalf of the laborers, which ensures that the employers pay the money honestly. They dare to deduct the money from the laborers, but they dare not face the labor gangs, especially those with the government behind them."
As Liu Dufeng listened, he felt more and more that he was a martial artist. If Liumen was allowed to do this, there was no such mature and feasible plan. As expected, the civil servants in the court were full of twists and turns.
"In the face of merchants, the shipowners have the same idea. They also pay the help fee to Caobang, and the amount is changed to one-third of the original amount, which can avoid the payment of various other names. At the same time, when paying wages to Caobang, you need to
Pay an extra five points as the management fee of the Caobang."
Yang Qingyuan explained his simple plan one by one and briefly described the general profit method.
"For businessmen, they can save at least 50% of their money."
Liu Dufeng nodded. If this was really the case, these businessmen would probably be willing to pay for it.
"And there is another benefit after joining the Caogang, which will be enough to make these businessmen flock to you later."
"Huh?!" Liu Dufeng's eyes showed curiosity, "What other benefits are there?!"
If Liu Dufeng was a businessman, the previous benefits alone were enough to seduce the freight merchant. Now there are even greater benefits, which Liu Dufeng really could not have imagined.
"Why does Capt. Liu think I asked the Six Gates and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to join me?!"
Without waiting for Liu Dufeng to answer, Yang Qingyuan said, "It is to intimidate Xiao Xiao in the Jianghu and official circles."
"According to past practice, shipping in Dazhou will be blackmailed by Jianghu gangs and demanded by local officials. The money is much more than the money given to the Cao Gang. It is different now, the Cao Gang will do it for them
Solve the problem."
"The final income obtained by the Caogang will be divided into five parts. Dali Temple will take three, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will take two, Six Gates will take two, I will take two, and the top management of the Cao Gang will take one. I want these two shares
Not for myself, but for Wudang."
After listening to Yang Qingyuan's simple profit distribution, Liu Dufeng already understood.
The existence of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is to warn people in the officialdom that they will be greedy if they are usually greedy, but now there is the Metropolitan Procuratorate behind the Cao Gang.
How dare people in the officialdom take action?
They are usually greedy in private, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate does not know about it, and they may not be found out, but directly poaching the corner of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this kind of behavior can only be done by people who are not very smart!
Just like in future generations, who would tamper with the project funds for the disciplinary inspection and supervision office building?! Isn’t this putting oneself under the knife?!
The existence of Six Gates and Wudang is to intimidate small gangs in the world.
In the past, half of the reputation of the Cao Gang depended on the Shaolin behind it. Now the Cao Gang is backed by Wudang and Liumen, which is much better than a single Shaolin.
There is no guarantee that problems will not occur, but it will definitely be much safer than before.
At this point, Liu Dufeng has fully agreed with Yang Qingyuan's plan.
Yang Qingyuan talked for a long time, and his throat felt a little thirsty. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Liu Dufeng's eyes lit up when he saw Yang Qingyuan's action. He had practiced the official etiquette before he came, and now he finally used it. As expected, opportunities are given to those who are prepared.
Liu Dufeng stood up from his seat, cupped his hands and said, "In that case, Liu will take your leave!"
"Why, could it be that Mr. Liu still has matters to deal with in the Yamen?" Yang Qingyuan was stunned, wondering why Liu Dufeng acted like this, since the matter was clearly not finished yet.
Liu Dufeng looked at him in surprise and asked, "Didn't Master Yang already serve tea to see off the guests?"
Although Liu Dufeng holds an official position, he is actually still half a martial artist. He knows that orthodox civil servants like Yang Qingyuan like to beat around the bush when talking and doing things. Serving tea means seeing off guests. He is not as ignorant as those uneducated martial artists.
