Yang Xuan seemed to have nothing to do in the Commerce Department. The other principals were each responsible for a branch, but Yang Xuan had no position at all, so he could just hide and relax.
As long as Meng Ping can be controlled, doesn't the Secretary of Commerce have the final say?
Meng Ping held an internal meeting today, but Yang Xuan didn't go at all.
It was better not to show up and let Meng Ping handle the matter that offended others. He himself wrote a statement and prepared to report it to Lord Xu, the Minister.
The content of the article is about performance rewards. Based on the performance of each branch, a certain amount of bonuses will be issued.
He doesn't have a performance appraisal system, so he doesn't need such a paper for the time being.
Yang Xuan does this so that those who have done the work can benefit, so that they will not be passive and slow down.
Of course, you have to do this kind of good deeds yourself.
Mr. Xu had a good impression of Yang Xuan and laughed when he saw Yang Xuan.
"Master Yang, you have been working as an errand at the Hubu Yamen for the past two days, are you still getting used to it?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir. You are doing your best for the court and sharing the emperor's worries. It is the same everywhere."
Yang Xuan took out a bag of tea leaves and put it on the table: "This is oolong tea, with ginseng powder from overseas added to it. It nourishes qi and yin, and is best for regulating the body."
When Yang Xuan was in Tumubao, he would give him small gifts from time to time. They were not too eye-catching and just right. Xu Qingyuan accepted the tea leaves with a smile: "Master Yang is thoughtful."
"This is a statement I just wrote, about the Department of Commerce. Mr. Xu might as well take the time to read it."
Xu Qingyuan accepted the gift and naturally had to do something for him. He picked up the note and read it. It was fine at first, but then he frowned as he read it.
"This bonus is what it should be, but this amount is a bit too much."
"Master Xu, this is not much." Yang Xuan said: "First of all, these people are different from court officials. They are participants in various industrial operations. How much money Shengfa Company can make is closely related to them; secondly, give
They have so many bonuses just to prevent them from making money behind their backs, what do you think, Mr. Xu?"
Xu Qingyuan smiled: "Brother Yang, you are taking it for granted. According to what you said, it means high salary to support integrity, but people's desires are endless. No matter how much you give, you can't prevent them from reaching out behind their backs.
"
Yang Xuan took out a small rosewood box: "Corruption is another matter. This is called misappropriation of court assets. I have already prepared a memorial and am preparing to submit it to the emperor. Sir Xu, please help me with the details?"
Xu Qingyuan waved his hands repeatedly, this is a secret music box, how can you mess with it casually.
"That's not necessary. Since you, Brother Yang, have already made the regulations, I will report them accordingly to the meeting tomorrow."
"Then thank you so much, Mr. Xu."
Yang Xuan obviously had the right to directly report to the emperor, but he came to Xu Qingyuan just to ask him to bring him to the court.
This proposal is to give more money to those people. Who would object to such a good thing? Yang Xuan asked Xu Qingyuan to go to the memorial, which was equivalent to selling him a good deal.
Returning to the office of the Department of Commerce and Trade, he saw many people walking out cursing. Yang Xuan covered his mouth and snickered. It seemed that Meng Ping's meeting had just ended.
When he went in, he saw that Meng Ping was sitting there sulking. I guess the people just now didn't give him a good look.
"Mr. Meng, what's going on?"
Meng Ping slapped the table: "These people all want to sit back and enjoy the benefits. It is unreasonable to want to make money without working."
Yang Xuan quickly comforted him.
"Mr. Yang, you weren't here just now, otherwise you must be angrier than me. You dare to show off to me for all these things. Humph, just wait. If their performance is not up to standard, let's see how I deal with them."
"Mr. Meng, please calm down. There are rules and regulations, and no one can say anything about doing things according to the rules." Yang Xuan leaned into Meng Ping's ear and said, "I have even made arrangements for the gentlemen in the training class. They will be punished when the time comes."
Meng Ping's mood finally eased a bit: "Mr. Yang, I leave this matter to you. I don't want to see their faces again. They don't even give me face because of their background. I must treat them well."
Teach them a lesson."
Yang Xuan sent the angry Meng Ping away, walked around for a while, and then withdrew.
When he arrived at the door of Prince Hui's mansion, the old porter saw him and took him in directly.
Still in the pavilion in the back garden, Prince Hui was twirling his beard and looking at Yang Xuan with a smile.
"I heard that you have been doing very well outside in the past two years."
"Your Majesty, what you said is that I am homeless." Yang Xuan complained: "What place can be compared to Yingtian Mansion? Those who are worried outside can't compare to this. I can only live with the protection of the Prince."
You have to take it easy."
Prince Hui raised his eyebrows: "Oh, you boy, have you learned how to flatter me?"
"Your Majesty, how can this be called flattering? In the past, I always kept my respect for the Prince in my heart, but later I realized that saying something and not saying it are two different things, so this is what I call revealing my true feelings."
"Hahahaha, I guess you did a good job shooting it."
Prince Hui smiled and said: "You have become a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue. If you are not satisfied with anything, just come to me and I will help you settle it."
"Your Majesty, after all, I am also a minister of the Household Transfer Department. I am just a household clerk. How can there be anything I can't settle?"
"Oh, your tone is quite loud, not bad, not bad."
Prince Hui praised him and said, "No wonder people find me here because of their connections."
"What's going on?" Yang Xuan sat down, picked up the teapot, filled it for Prince Hui, and poured himself another cup.
"Prince Heng came to me and said that he had a grandson working for you. He knew that I have a good relationship with you and wanted you to take care of him."
Yang Xuan scratched his head. How could a direct grandson of a prince and a descendant of the royal family do so poorly?
Prince Hui took a sip of tea: "You don't know, this Prince Heng is my uncle by seniority. Because he is not good at business, the family is somewhat poor. However, his grandson is also arrogant, so he can't look down on him.
That's something to look down on. I finally found a job for him, but he's still unwilling to do it. Prince Lao Heng is worried that this kid will be useless, and he wants you to give him some advice so that he can take the right path."
Yang Xuan continued to scratch his head, thinking to himself, what kind of nonsense is this? If the children at home don’t make progress, why would they come to me?
Prince Hui knocked on the table with his finger: "I know you are a good-for-nothing person who doesn't do things. The son of the old Prince Heng is the young minister of Dali Temple. Do you understand?"
Dali Temple is one of the Three Legal Divisions, which is equivalent to the Supreme Court. This favor can be obtained.
"Your Majesty, I see what you said. As the head of the Department of Commerce and Trade, I naturally have to care for and support my subordinates. This is my duty and I am bound to do so."
"You kid, how can I make you suffer?"
Prince Hui said: "By the way, I also heard that you opened a convenience store in Yuezhou. Is this relevant?"
Yang Xuan looked wary: "What? The prince is also interested in this?"
