I am Emperor Wanli

Chapter 695 It’s never-ending, right?

"Total profit of 16,000 yen"

In the yard of Anlianghang, the accountant with a thin brush on his ear was bending over, holding the account book, and speaking in a long voice. The numbers in his mouth were the profits of Anlianghang in the Gyeonggi Football League Champions Cup final.

Xiu Qiguang’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

It’s just this little, you’re just giving it to a beggar!
Who said that if you are the banker in gambling, you can make money without losing money?

What I want is not a guaranteed profit, what I want is a steady flow of income!

How am I going to explain to the young marquis about such a small amount of money?

If you report this number, you will definitely be criticized and scolded: Are you treating beggars like this?

Did I go to so much trouble to win over the City Hall and the Police Department just for that 380-yuan vendor's sign?

I'm not that poor!
My goal is to sell lottery tickets in the venue!
Fixed vendors and mobile vendors are equivalent to fixed sales points and mobile sales points. I want to steal business from the Lottery Bureau of Shuntian Prefecture Licao!
Last year at the Dragon Boat Festival Carnival, this lottery bureau, which claimed to be raising funds for social welfare, set up gambling and lottery at the dragon boat racing competition of the carnival, where people could choose teams and place bets, and the odds were all very different.

If you bet on the favorites, you will neither lose nor gain, but if you bet on the underdogs, you will make a lot of money. If you bet on the first, second and third places, it is like shaking out a leopard, which means you will make a lot of money.

Tens of thousands of people bought the tickets, and the lottery bureau made a lot of money. When the news got out, who wouldn't be jealous?
This year's amusement park also features the football match that has been extremely popular in Gyeonggi Province in the past two years, the much-anticipated Gyeonggi League Champions Cup final.

Cornucopia, money tree!

Must have a piece of the pie!

I took great pains and adopted a roundabout tactic to monopolize the licenses for both fixed and mobile vendors at the amusement fair, taking the opportunity to place my own people there to sell Anliang's gambling lottery tickets.

You roll up your sleeves and prepare to make a fortune, but end up making only this little money?

I spent several thousand yuan on bribes, and after all the mess, I made nothing!

The key point is that the young marquis also has high expectations for this matter. Is he going to hand in this result himself?
His face is about to be beaten to pieces!

The confidants carefully observed Xiu Qi Guang's expression, and when they saw that he looked unhappy, they quickly spoke up.

"Brother, the West Mountain Wolves are at home, so a lot of people bought him, a full two-thirds. Now that he has won, we are the banker, so we will make less money."

"That's right, brother. The Warhammer team is so disappointing. If they win unexpectedly, we will be rich."

"Brother, the West Mountain Wolves are too ungrateful. Why are they so competitive? I sent someone to tell them to hold back, but they just ignored me!"

"Brother, they don't take you seriously. We must teach them a lesson!"

As Xiu Qiping listened to his confidants' words, his anger not only did not subside, but became even greater.

You really don't take me seriously!

Before the game, I sent people to visit him, sincerely promised him benefits, and tried my best to persuade him to stop, but he didn't listen, not a single word I said, and he directly kicked my people back.

If a tiger doesn't show its power, you think I, the governor of five cities, am useless!

However, Xiu Qiping knew in his heart that there must be a reason why his fake Anlianghao lottery ticket did not make any money while the Shuntianfu Lottery Bureau made a lot of money.

Most of the time, one's own attempt to draw a tiger ends up with a dog's appearance, and one fails to imitate the essence of others.

But he certainly couldn't say this in front of his subordinates. The Xishan Wolf Team and the Luanzhou Warhammer Team must be ungrateful.

"The Xishan Wolves are a local team in Beijing. We are honored to win the Champions League this time. As Beijingers, we are honored.

The key is that the Luanzhou Warhammer team has no fighting spirit and deliberately lets the game go. Is this how they play football? Isn't this an insult to us, young and old men?
They must be taught a lesson!"

The four confidants looked at each other.

Haha, it's just that the Xishan Wolf Team is the Xishan Military Academy, which belongs to the military, and everyone in it is a ruthless person. The two or three hundred people in Anliangxing are like chicks in front of them.

Moreover, they have the Beijing Camp and the Guard Army behind them. If any of them show up, they can destroy Anliangxing with just a little finger.
Who dares to provoke?
On the contrary, they are from the Luanzhou Warhammer Team, they are outsiders who came from the factories and mines in Luanzhou.

A strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake!
An Liangxing took out his anger on them!

Understanding Xiu Qiguang's thoughts, a confidant said, "Brother, everyone in the capital knows that An Liangxing is running a lottery at the amusement park. Now it's turned into such a bland affair. It's not good to look at it."

Another confidant immediately echoed, "Brother, the root of the trouble lies with those idiots from the Luanzhou Warhammer Team. If we don't teach them a lesson, the reputation of our Anliangxing and Yanzimen will be smashed!

Don't worry, we will definitely teach the Luanzhou Warhammer Team a lesson!"

it is good!
People’s hearts are available!

Xiu Qi Guang nodded with satisfaction.

On the seventh day of the fifth month of the second year of the Wanli reign, this year's Dragon Boat Festival and Longevity Festival Nanyuan Amusement Party came to a successful conclusion.

On the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month, Shuntian Prefecture held a summary meeting in the left hall of Changyi Pavilion. All officials from Shuntian Prefecture were present, totaling nearly a thousand people.

The meeting was presided over by Nangong Ye, the Chief Secretary of Shuntian Prefecture.

Eunuch Yang Jinshui, Chief Eunuch of the Imperial Household, Zhang Xueyan, Chief Clerk of the Cabinet, Cai Maochun, Chief Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Li Youzi, and other officials from other departments attended the ceremony.

Pan Yinglong made a summary speech and then issued commendations, commending the City Hall, Nanyuan Management Office, Police Department, and Transportation Bureau for their outstanding work at the amusement party.

At noon, the participants had lunch in the Guanyue Hall, with eight people at each table. There were six dishes and one soup. There was no alcohol, only sour plum juice.

In the afternoon, twelve acrobatic troupes took turns performing on the stage.

Then, six opera troupes including the Fuchun Acrobatic Troupe, the Fenghuiyou Troupe, and the Langya Magic Troupe won the gold, silver, and bronze Hibiscus Awards respectively, and the remaining six troupes won the "consolation prize" - the Excellence Award for the Nanyuan Amusement Fair on the Dragon Boat Festival and Longevity Festival in the second year of Wanli.

It’s not a commemorative award. All drama classes have commemorative awards.

Yang Jinshui personally presented the Golden Hibiscus Award.

Zhang Xueyan and Cai Maochun presented the Silver Hibiscus Awards.

Pan Yinglong and Li Youzi presented the Bronze Hibiscus Award.

Then Pan Yinglong announced that Shuntian Prefecture thanked all officials from top to bottom for their concerted efforts and hard work in ensuring the successful conclusion of this year's Nanyuan Amusement Fair and the smooth completion of this important political task, and all of them would receive an additional half a month's allowance.

The whole audience cheered loudly and everyone was happy!
For dinner, Pan Yinglong entertained Yang Jinshui and others in a private room on the fifth floor of the right hall.

"Feng Wu, I heard that you made a lot of money at this amusement fair." Yang Jinshui said with a smile.

"Eunuch Yang, how dare I talk about making money in front of you?"

"Haha, you're being modest.

Let’s not talk about those ads. I heard that you made a lot of money from the Football Champions Cup betting and lottery. Feng Wu, you are so dishonest. The Shaofujian took great pains to organize the Gyeonggi Football League, but you plucked the most delicious fruits.”

Pan Yinglong laughed and said, "Eunuch Yang, if a student wants to make money, this is the only time he can make money. Your league lasts for half a year, and you can buy lottery tickets every time. That's a long-term income."

Yang Jinshui smiled and shook his head, "My steady income still has to be shared with your lottery bureau. Who told you to be ahead?" Cai Maochun and Li Youzi smiled and said, "Fengwu, you have made money, you should also share some with us. We in the Ministry of Rites are jealous of you, Fengwu, who are leading Shuntian Prefecture to make a lot of money."

Zhang Xueyan said at the side: "It's not just you who are jealous, everyone is jealous."

Everyone joked for a while, and then Pan Yinglong stood up and toasted everyone.

After finishing his drink and sitting down, Pan Yinglong sighed, "I didn't expect that I could make so much money from the lottery this time.

But making more money is always a good thing. With this money, Shuntian Prefecture can build two more orphanages and orphanages, and also build primary public schools in the south and west cities."

Li Youzi corrected him, "Fengwu is now called Primary School."

"Is it settled?"

"It's settled. The Ministry of Rites has officially issued a document that the primary public school will be called the Primary School, enrolling boys aged six to twelve, and will be directly under the county education bureau.

The prefectural public school is called a middle school, which enrolls boys aged 12 to 16 and is directly under the prefectural education bureau. The provincial public school is called a university, which is divided into two types: directly under the prefecture and under the provincial government.

Directly affiliated universities are directly under the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites directly allocates the fees. Provincial universities are directly under the Provincial Government, and the Ministry of Rites allocates 70% of the fees to the Ministry of Rites and 30% to the local government. The Ministry of Rites manages them on behalf of the Ministry of Rites.

Yang Jinshui held the wine glass in his hand and gently turned it on the table.

"The Emperor has always said that the foundation of a strong country and a rich people lies in education. Teaching and educating people. Only by cultivating generations of teenagers and young people with faith, knowledge, character, and discipline can the Ming Dynasty be completely changed."

Cai Maochun nodded in agreement: "Yes, the emperor has always wanted to implement compulsory education in the Ming Dynasty, so that all children over the age of six in the Ming Dynasty can go to school and learn to read and write.

The emperor's grand ambition will surely be realized. But the current situation only allows us to take it step by step."

Pan Yinglong shook his head and said, "I am ashamed. Songjiang Prefecture has begun to promote two to three primary schools in each county and has initially started to implement compulsory primary education.

I am a student in Shuntian Prefecture, one of the five cities of the capital, the best place in the Ming Dynasty, under the feet of the emperor, but I am still far behind. I am really ashamed. "

Others hurriedly comforted him, "Fengwu, don't say that. Songjiang Prefecture has a Shanghai County cornucopia. What does Shuntian Prefecture have? It was all raised by you. It's not easy to get to where you are today."

Pan Yinglong raised his glass and said, "Thank you all for your encouragement. I will toast you again."

After dinner, Pan Yinglong took Nangong Ye and Shen Wanxiang back to Shuntian Prefecture Yamen.

He sat behind the desk in the signing room, his mouth still reeking of alcohol.

"Nangong, Qianhe, the three of us will work overtime tonight to write the summary document and submit it to the Cabinet and the Ministry of Public Security tomorrow."

"it is good!"

"This summary document will eventually be presented to the emperor, Nangong, the text must be written by you."

Nangong Ye had been Zhu Yijun's confidential secretary, so it would have been best if he had written the summary report to be presented to the emperor.

He smiled and responded without hesitation: "Okay, this is my job.

Nangong Ye's strengths lie in his meticulous mind and strong execution ability, making him the most suitable person to do what Cao Sui Xiao Gui did.

This former confidential secretary has now been sent by Zhu Yijun to Shuntian Prefecture as the Chief Clerk. The next step will be to be the Shao Yin, and then he will succeed Pan Yinglong as the head of Shuntian Prefecture.

Everyone knew this, so many times, Pan Yinglong would leave many things to him.

For example, in this carnival, Nangong Ye served as the deputy director and chief secretary of the organizing committee, and was responsible for handling tedious affairs.

This is training Nangong Ye.

"Qianhe, you are responsible for collecting information and calculating numbers. Remember, the emperor is wise and insightful, especially when it comes to numbers, you must calculate them clearly and not make any mistakes."

"Yes!"

"Okay, let's start now. Nangong, once you finish writing a page, I'll review it here."

The three of them divided the work and began to write the summary report.

This was also the central government office during the Wanli Dynasty.

After completing a task, the responsible department must write a detailed formal summary report and submit it to the superior department. The superior department will review and keep the report on file, which will become the main basis for the department and its head to evaluate their performance.

Later, Zhang Juzheng combined it with the performance evaluation system.

Every year, each department will write a work plan, listing what needs to be done that year, when it is planned to be completed, and what results will be achieved.

Then, write a half-year and full-year work summary report in the middle and end of the year, compare them with the plan report at the beginning of the year, and use them together with the mid-year and year-end financial audits as performance evaluation content.

Once these tight restrictions were put in place, many old bureaucrats felt that life was worse than death, and going to work every day was like going to a grave.

But asking them to retire early and give their positions to young people, no!

I can still fight for the Ming Dynasty for another twenty years.

The emperor changed the rules of the early years of the dynasty. Officials received both salaries and allowances, and they also received benefits during festivals. Even a ninth-rank minor official could provide a comfortable life for a family of four or five, which was not as good as those of the rich but better than those of the poor.

How can I bear to retire?

Once you retire, your allowance will be gone immediately, and you will only have 80% of your salary, which is no longer a comfortable life!
These Ming Dynasty officials were controlled, and their treatment was greatly improved, so the intensity of their work was naturally raised by several levels.

No matter how hard or tiring it is, you have to endure it and work hard for the Ming Dynasty without complaint!
Twelve candles lit the room brightly.

As the organizer of the amusement party, Nangong Ye had a lot of ideas in mind and wrote quickly. However, he was afraid that some data were wrong, so he picked up the information and looked it over to check.

Pan Yinglong handles official business.

When Nangong Ye had written five pages of manuscript, he would put down his work and read them together, making revisions and annotations on them with pencil.

Shen Wanxiang was busy in and out, going to various departments from time to time to get information, and then sitting down to sort it out. Sometimes he even had to pick up an abacus and calculate the numbers on the information.

After the numbers were checked and the sorted information was placed into different categories, they were stacked together in different bamboo file baskets and placed on Nangong Ye's desk. Then a small piece of paper was placed on the different file baskets, with a brief description of the contents below.

Shen Wanxiang was out for a long time this time, half an hour. When he came back, he had a report in his hand and his face looked a little ugly.

He walked to Pan Yinglong's desk and handed him the report.

"Prefect, please take a look at this."

Pan Yinglong raised his head, looked at Shen Wanxiang suspiciously, and took the report.

As soon as he finished reading one page, Pan Yinglong's face changed.

After reading it, he slammed the report on the table, breathing heavily through his nose and cursing.

"I'm screwed, this is never going to end, right?"
