In August of the 16th year of Chongzhen, Zhu Hongsan and his party arrived in Dongguan. After four months of hard work, they initially gained their foothold in Guangdong. Finally, it was the end of the year. Everyone was happy that they could have a good New Year this year.

Before the Chinese New Year, Zhu Hongsan gave each person a red envelope of ten taels of silver, plus a monthly salary of December, ordinary workers could get fifteen taels, and assembly line workers could get twenty-two taels. This money was enough for their family to live for half a year.

Seeing everyone smiling happily, Zhu Hongsan felt that it was nothing to be tired. It was also good to see the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment.

On New Year's Eve, Zhu Hongsan got up very early and had a lot of things today. He had to go to the factory to send red envelopes to the workers in the morning, and in the afternoon he had to go to the military camp to celebrate the New Year with all the soldiers. The army is Zhu Hongsan's foundation and will never let go at any time. This opportunity to win people's hearts naturally has to go in person.

I celebrate the New Year with everyone on the first day of the New Year. After all, I have just arrived for four months. Many people don’t have a house yet, so it is also a thing that wins people’s hearts.

Zhu Hongsan came to the study early, which was Zhang Quanli's study before. After returning to Zhu Hongsan, he was transformed into an office. All the compartments were opened, and the whole house was a room. Inside were the desks and boss chairs created by Zhu Hongsan according to later generations.

However, because there is no spring steel, the boss’s chair cannot lean back, which is a bit regretful. There are two rows of large sofas opposite the table, which is also the way they look like in later generations. Without springs, the cotton used as fillings, and it is not bad to sit, but it hurts your butt after a long time.

There is a screen behind the sofa, which is isolated from the conference room. The conference room covers an area of ​​200 square meters and is rectangular. Originally, Zhu Hongsan wanted to make the circular conference room of the past, but Tong Yangjia told him that his power came from the emperor, and Zhu Hongsan deeply agreed.

Zhu Hongsan heard this sentence and said that it is not the future generations, and there is no concept of equality for everyone. So in the innermost part of the conference room was Zhu Hongsan's seat, and he put four chairs on it, which was the position of Erma, Feng and Tong. This is Zhu Hongsan's preferential treatment to his four great strategists, and no one else had a seat.

If you have an office, you must have a secretary. This makes Zhu Hongsan worry. No one comes to do it, and those who don’t recognize words cannot do it. Because you have to organize a large number of manuscripts, you can’t do it without knowing words.

After searching for a while, Zhu Hongsan found that his sixth wife, the newly accepted concubine Zhang, was good. He knew the words and processed various documents very quickly. After half a month after Zhu Hongsan tried, he used her as his secretary.

Zhang's ability is one aspect. Zhu Hongsan has too many secrets, so he is worried about using others. He is relieved by the people in his room. He can play with him when he is fine. It is because of the wives and Zhu Hongsan arguing.

Zhu Hongsan sat in the room and saw Zhang put the documents from the previous few days in front of him. Zhang lowered his head and saw his snow-white chest. Zhu Hongsan's index finger moved, and he would be good at grabbing Zhang at the desk. Zhang breathed: "Officials, everyone is waiting outside, let you be frivolous at night."

Zhu Hongsan couldn't help but whisper: "Squat down and use one to your mouth behind the table. They can't see it."

Zhang glared at Zhu Hongsan, squatted down and unbuttoned Zhu Hongsan's trouser belt.

Zhu Hongsan shouted: "Come in outside."

The first person to come in were the four major strategists. After entering the house and sitting down, they began to report on the situation in the past four months.

Zhu Hongsan was at a critical moment, and Zhang's oral work was really great.

When Ma Jiyuan saw his lord sitting and his face was flushed. He was a person who had experienced it, he naturally knew that his lord would not do good things.

Ma Jiyuan stood up and said, "Master, you can compare me like this?"

Zhu Hongsan was very surprised. In the past, Ma Mingyuan was talking first, but why did Ma Jiyuan say first this time? He asked quickly: "Sir, please say something, please?"

Ma Jiyuan said, "The lord reminds me of two people like this."

"Who?"

"One is King Zhou, the other is Emperor Yang of Sui. What else does the lord want to revive the Ming Dynasty? Let's surrender to the bandits." After Ma Jiyuan said that, he left.

The remaining three people smiled and bowed back.

When Zhu Hongsan saw them leaving, he grabbed Zhang from under the table and pressed him to the desk for a sprint, which made Zhang Jiao gasp.

Ten minutes later, Zhu Hongsan finished his business. Zhang got up and cleaned up his body.

Zhu Hongsan asked, "Wife, did Mr. Ma point out something just now?"

Zhang said, "Master, he called you a prodigal son. It would be better to surrender to the bandits now if you follow you."

Zhu Hongsan's eyes turned and thought: "Zhang said this to compete with Ma Ruyan for favor. Now he needs help from the Ma family, so he can't make a fuss." Zhu Hongsan thought of this and got up and kicked Zhang, and cursed: "It's all you bitch who delayed my big deal."

After Zhu Hongsan said that, he ran out barefoot to find Ma Jiyuan. Seeing Ma Jiyuan packing his luggage at the door of his house, Zhu Hongsan stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Sir, do you really want to abandon me?"

When Ma Jiyuan saw Zhu Hongsan's untidy clothes, he came out barefoot. He bowed and said, "Lord, I am assisting Guangwu Liu Xiu. I don't think you are the king of Zhongxing."

Zhu Hongsan said, "My father-in-law, I'm wrong. If you calm down, you have to lift your tail. I promised my father-in-law that you won't be involved in this matter in the future. Please stay for Ruyan and your grandson."

Ma Jiyuan thought for a long time and only had one daughter left, and he married this guy. His grandson was cute and sensible. His daughter and grandson must be bullied by others when he left. Thinking of this, Ma Jiyuan cried: "Lord, promise me to be a gentleman in the future."

Zhu Hongsan said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, now the mistress has removed the screen and desk and met everyone honestly."

Ma Jiyuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to believe you once, lord, please get up."

Seeing that Ma Ji was far away, Zhu Hongsan ordered his guards to return to the study and immediately removed all the screen tables. Then he respectfully said to the four strategists: "Four gentlemen, please go back to the lobby."

After seeing Zhu Hongsan performing like this, Tong Yangjia said to Gong Dacheng beside him: "Did you see, our lord Liu Bei learns very much."

Gong Dacheng whispered: "What do you think, sir?"

Tong Yangjia said, "I think the Ma brothers will be unlucky in the future. When they are unlucky, it is time for us to develop."

No matter how Tong Yangjia secretly complained, Zhu Hongsan let the four great strategists go into the house and sit back again. Ma Jiyuan said: "It's really not good for the lord to use women so seriously. In this way, I will let Shaoguang be the secretary for the lord."

Zhu Hongsan thought to himself: "Isn't there no secret in front of you if he is coming?" But he said, "Then I'll trouble Brother Shaoguang."

Seeing everyone sitting down, Zhu Hongsan said, "Today I'm going to ask you guys, first of all, I want to organize an office to be responsible for our entire work. It is mainly composed of Brother Mingyuan, Brother Jiyuan, Second Cousin, and Mr. Tong. What do you think?"

Zhu Hongsan thought a lot this month, relying on himself to do everything, so he should not be exhausted to death. It just so happened that these stinky old ninths took the world as their responsibility and let them die of exhaustion.

As for the institution, Zhu Hongsan directly took out the very mature cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty. This thing later generations believed was the culprit of party struggles in the late Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Hongsan did not think so. Party struggles are always there, and as long as they are controlled well, it may not be a driving force for moving forward.

Democracy in later generations was not much worse than party struggles in the Ming Dynasty. At least the Ming Dynasty maintained the demeanor of scholars, and there was no situation where the parliament of a certain island in later generations fought (Zhu Hongsan didn't know what kind of virtues of scholars in the Ming Dynasty were, and he had never fought at the court meeting).

Therefore, when Zhu Hongsan chose his own office, he borrowed the cabinet system. However, at this time, he could not call the cabinet, and he temporarily named the office.

The four major strategists were very satisfied with this institution. They were all smart people. Zhu Hongsan made this look like a copy of the Ming Dynasty cabinet. At the same time, everyone got the benefits, so everyone naturally agreed.

Zhu Hongsan continued: "The second brother is responsible for the whole work, the eldest brother is responsible for the management of property, the second cousin is responsible for local work, and Mr. Tong is responsible for factory construction. Do you have no objection?"

Zhu Hongsan did this to hand over the Ministry of Personnel to Ma Mingyuan, the Ministry of Revenue to Ma Jiyuan, the local power to Feng Ziyong, and the Ministry of Works to Tong Yangjia. Everyone got the power, so naturally they agreed.

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Since you guys have no objections, I think everyone should come up with a charter during the Chinese New Year. We will hold a conference on the 16th day of the first lunar month and discuss what we will do in the future."

The four nodded one after another. Zhu Hongsan saw that nothing happened and said, "Four gentlemen, please come back if you have nothing to do. I will go to the factory to visit the workers in the morning and the Nanhaiwei to visit the soldiers in the afternoon. Tomorrow, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiaofang prepared a small wine in the inner house, hoping that everyone will bring their families to try Xiaofang's crafts."

The four of them agreed and stood up to arrange their work.

Seeing them leaving, Zhu Hongsan said to Zhang in the room: "You see it, don't come in the future. Have a good son for me in the back."

Zhang nodded and went out, but today Ma Jiyuan's attitude made Zhang hold a grudge. I don't know when this thing broke out.
Chapter completed!
