Chapter 1506 New Governance System(1/2)
ps: If you think this chapter looks familiar, please go back and read two chapters. I accidentally posted the wrong chapter yesterday, and it has been updated now.
Yuchi Huan has basically spent all these years in Puluo. It is no problem to say that he is the uncrowned king in Puluo.
The four evils in Chang'an City back then have long since disappeared.
Yuchi Huan, who has already started a family and a career, now thinks about the question how to better manage Puluozhong every day.
There are many overseas ports in the Tang Dynasty today. How to make these cities far away from the local area wait for good management? This is a very big problem.
Guanshishan Academy Business School even had a research team specially settled in Puluo to study this issue.
"Director Wang, you know the situation in Puluo. We are different from those in the Tang Dynasty in Yangzhou and Dengzhou. The Ministry of Personnel will only arrange a few officials to come here symbolically, mainly focusing on supervision.
This is just something that started last year. Earlier, the imperial court ignored us at all. This is a free port under the rule of the East China Sea fishery.
In this special context, we are obviously not suitable to build a very large bureaucratic system to manage such a city, but we cannot allow the development of all places freely, otherwise there will be chaos."
Yuchi Huan and Wang Youcai were drinking cold beer while talking about some of their views on Puluo.
Although it is already winter in Chang'an City, there is no concept of winter in Puluo.
It's hot all year round.
At that time, a businessman didn't believe in evil, so he transported a ship of quilts and came to sell them, but almost lost all his underwear.
Fortunately, I found a big food merchant to take over the market in time, and at least I earned some hard money and came back.
"The governance in Puluo is basically based on the Maritime Bureau. The Maritime Bureau and the Police Department are responsible for the security issues in Puluo, and the rest will be left to you, the City Lord's Mansion to manage.
You are right. Except for the Maritime Department, the Tax Department, and the Police Department, other yamen in Puluozhong do not need to make the scale too large.
But so many businessmen do business here, and they encounter a variety of situations every day.
If we want this prosperous scene to continue, we must let all businesses have rules to follow in their work.
As long as you follow the rules, you can do things without worrying about anything and make money smoothly in business."
As the first student of Guanshishan Academy Business School, Wang Youcai has now become the dean of the business school through various contributions, and is considered a winner in life.
He can have his current status, level and vision, naturally, he is not bad.
"You are right. No rules can lead to a circle. I have been constantly making rules over the years.
But now business is developing too fast. It is too difficult for all walks of life to establish all rules.
I was originally a rough man who was dancing with swords and guns. His Highness the King of Chu asked me to be responsible for Puluo, so I lived here.
However, the formulation of various rules and regulations is almost blowing my head out. If this continues, I feel that I can't continue.
The most important thing is that I found that the speed of the rules increasing cannot keep up with the changes at all.
After a rule is established, it is not static and needs to be updated every year.
There is too much manpower and mental power required in this regard."
Yuchi Huan felt a big deal when he thought of having meetings every day and discussing various messy rules with others.
Sure enough, the more ambitious a person is, the more tired his life becomes.
"I have some clues about this, but I haven't thought of a particularly good method yet.
These days I will take the students to the neighborhood for a walk, and I will talk to people to see if I can find a good solution.”
Although Wang Youcai's head is very useful, it is not omnipotent.
Obviously, he has not thought of a particularly good way to solve the problem of Yuchi Huan now.
"Langjun, Wang Dali, the shopkeeper Wang of the rubber planting industry outside, and they asked you to discuss something."
At this moment, a clerk came to Yuchi Huan and reported a visiting information.
As the city lord in Puluo, Yuchi Huan is still very open-minded.
Although it cannot be said that anyone in the city can see him at any time, it is not difficult for most people with certain wealth in the city to see Yuchi Huan.
Li Kuan has a clear positioning of Puluo, which is a commercial capital.
Everything is based on economic construction as the main purpose, and the operation of each yamen must be based on this point, and do not create various bureaucratic styles.
This is very different from the local Tang Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, no matter how you promote it, it is very unrealistic to make officials really regard merchants as their service objects.
Since ancient times, officials have controlled the right to speak in this land.
A businessman, no matter how rich he is, cannot change this situation.
In other words, Li Kuan's status is high enough and his influence in business is great enough. The status of a businessman in the Tang Dynasty has only been significantly improved over the years.
But it's just an improvement.
Even Li Kuan himself never thought of making the status of a businessman surpass that of an official.
No need!
Could it be that the Tang Dynasty must be built into a capitalist country?
This obviously does not conform to Li Kuan's idea.
"Director Wang, Wang Dali and Anan were a coolie at the Weishui Wharf in Chang'an City. After going out to sea to take risks, they earned their first pot of gold, and then decisively chose the rubber planting that had not yet flourished at that time.
Now their rubber plantation is the largest in Nanyang and is the first to harvest rubber this year. Why don’t you meet each other?”
As the largest rubber planting owner in Nanyang, Yuchi Huan naturally knew Wang Dali.
To be honest, he still admires Wang Dali and the others quite much.
They are the real ones who start from scratch.
"Yes, when you go out to visit, you are chatting with people, and you are chatting with people here.
It just so happens that rubber is quite popular in recent years, so I also know about the situation of rubber in Nanyang."
Wang Youcai came to Puluo this time and said he was here to investigate, but he had the final say on how to arrange it himself, and no one would care about him at all.
Soon, a clerk brought Wang Dali and Anan to the hall.
After a brief greeting, Wang Dali did not beat around the bush, but went straight to the topic.
"Yuchi Langjun, we just thought of a plan that can enable the rubber industry to enter an orderly development, and everyone can share the same thing and promote the healthy development of the Nanyang rubber industry."
"Oh? What's the plan?"
Yuchi Huan was not so excited about listening to Wang Dali's words.
Over the years, everyone who comes to chat with him basically has to praise the plans he has thrown out.
In this regard, Yuchi Huan has long been immune to this.
"A Datang Rubber Association was established. All plantations, shops and workshops that involve rubber planting, rubber sales, and rubber processing need to join our rubber association, otherwise they will not be protected by the association.
As the only association in the rubber industry, I hope that the government can give our association a variety of rubber-related industry regulations to manage the entire rubber industry through these industry regulations.
The government is just a bystander to monitor the development of the entire industry. Generally, there is no need to interfere, and the association itself operates and manages it.”
This is not the first time Wang Dali and Yuchi Huan have met, so he knows his personality well, so he doesn't beat around the bush.
If an ordinary official heard that a businessman was going to set up an association to seize power from the government, he would be furious, at least he would not consider such a plan.
But Puluo is not an ordinary city, and Yuchi Huan does not have such a strong desire to control it.
As long as it can make Puluo Zhong more prosperous, safer and more attractive.
Yuchi Huan didn't care whether the government's rights had increased or decreased.
"What do you mean from now on, except for tax collection, the government will leave all other matters related to the rubber industry to the Datang Rubber Association to manage itself?"
Yuchi Huan confirmed Wang Dali's plan.
"That's right! Of course, our Tang Rubber Association must have started its work under the leadership of the Lord's Mansion of Puluozhong City.
However, there are many details in daily life, and there are currently no standards. It may not be realistic to let the government come forward to correspond.
But leaving it alone will affect the development of the rubber industry.
But if there is a rubber association, it will be different.
All matters can be left to the Rubber Association to be responsible for management.
For example, what kind of rubber is a qualified rubber, are there any standards for processing various rubber products, how to classify rubber, what are its applications, how to promote the use of rubber uniformly, and how to coordinate the development of the rubber industry, many specific things can allow the association to play its role."
Seeing that Yuchi Huan did not object to his point of view, Wang Dali spoke a little louder.
"Yuchi Langjun, I think this proposal seems to be pretty good. Not only can you establish the Tang Rubber Association, but you can also establish various associations such as the Tang Durian Association, the Tang Spice Association, the Tang Whaling Association and other associations.
The government only needs to make some regulations on the management of the association, and then leave the other specific matters to the association to be responsible.
In this way, the people who joined the association are professionals in this industry, and they know best how this industry needs to develop better.
And in this way, the government can be further liberated without spending so much energy on all walks of life. It only needs to formulate a large development direction and develop various public facilities well."
Wang Youcai, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but interject.
Although there are many various industry associations in Chang'an City.
