It was reasonable to say that Tie Zheng was under Du Qi and under Du Qi's command. He had always referred to himself as a lowly official and was also one of Du Qi's men. However, Tie Zheng was a businessman. No matter how high his official position was, he was still a businessman.
Even if he met a county magistrate, he would still feel inferior. After all, the other party was an official while he was a businessman. Even if he had enough influence, the difference in status and influence could not be changed.
Du Qi glanced at Tie Zheng before his gaze returned to Shangguan Yi. He said, "Mr. Shangguan's suggestion is good. However, since it involves the cement factory's reform, we can't arbitrarily assign official positions. Such an arrangement is too crude. "
Shangguan Yi took the opportunity to say, "Your Highness, please tell us."
As a strategist, Shangguan Yi knew that Du Qi was extremely wise and farsighted. Therefore, he wanted to hear what Du Qi had in mind for the topic he had just brought up.
Du Qi muttered to himself for a moment before he said, "Let's talk about the cement factory's reform first. Let's not talk about the banks, bookstores, restaurants, etc. If the cement factory is to be reformed, all the managers and managers of the cement factory will have to be included in the government system. In fact, there is no need to assign official positions. It's too complicated. "
"That's because there are no official positions in Xia Xia's imperial court. The simplest way is to assign a rank. The cement factory's manager, Tie Zheng, can be assigned to the position of an assistant minister of the six ministries. "
"The managers of the workshops will be assigned in order of rank."
"As long as the manager of the cement factory is a mid-level backbone, they will be equivalent to Xia Xia's official rank. This arrangement will only assign an official's rank and not their official position because they will still be in charge of the cement factory's matters. "
Du Qi spoke frankly and frankly, "Under this reform, the cement factory will officially be part of the government system, but not within the government system. When it comes to transferring officials from the cement factory to the government system, their rank will be a standard to be considered and will correspond to each other. "
"As a result, the reform of the state-owned industries will be completed. They will not be given official positions and will only be given the corresponding rank. Apart from that, they also don't get a salary because their salaries are paid by the cement factory. "
"Didn't they say that if you become a merchant and an official, you have to receive double the salary?"
"That's impossible."
"They are a supplement to the official system. In other words, they are state-run and run by me, Mr. Xia."
"It's different from private shops."
Du Qi continued, "Mr. Shangguan, this is an adjustment to the businesses under my command. Along with the adjustment of the cement plant, the bookstore, the hotel, and the bank were all adjusted one by one. All the businesses under this prince's command were included in the state-owned system. Of course, the management will have to be more standardized. We can't be as casual as the businessmen in the past. "
When Shangguan Yi heard this, he said in admiration, "Your Majesty's talent is truly admirable. Such a reform may seem simple, but in fact, it solves the problem of their origins. On one hand, it strengthens the cohesion, and on the other hand, it also gives them a chance. "
After a pause, Shangguan Yi continued, "These people who do extremely well will have the opportunity to be transferred to the imperial court. They will also be part of the officials. Under this premise, General Manager Tie, for example, has a rank, so he won't have to deal with the local county magistrate awkwardly. He won't even have to control such a big business system. He still has to be respectful to the little county magistrate for fear of angering him. "
Du Qi said with a smile, "That's exactly what I meant."
After a pause, Du Qi looked at Tie Zheng and said, "General Manager Tie, what do you think?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Tie Zheng didn't say anything. He clasped his hands together and bowed 90 degrees to Du Qi respectfully. He solemnly said, "This humble one thanks Your Majesty on behalf of the key personnel of the cement plant, as well as the many workers working in the cement plant."
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty, after this reform, the state-owned enterprises will be under the control of all the state-owned enterprises. The state-owned industries in the Xia Kingdom are loyal to the King, and countless people are grateful to the King. Because of this reform, the fates of countless people would change along with it. Many of them may be able to make money, but they don't have status. Now that they have status, it's like carps leaping over the dragon's gate, having earth-shaking changes. "
Du Qi said with a smile, "Xia Xia has just been established, so take your time. Everything can't be rushed. "
According to Du Qi's idea, he actually wanted to implement many reforms and measures in the future. However, the current Xia Xia had just been established a few years ago. Its foundation was too shallow, so everything had to be done slowly.
Everything can't be rushed!
Tie Zheng, who stood at the side, was very excited inside.
At this moment, Tie Zheng wished he could grow a pair of wings and immediately return to his office to summon all the workshop managers and supervisors, and then announce Du Qi's arrangement.
Du Qi noticed Tie Zheng's expression and ordered, "Tie Zheng, go back to the cement factory and summon all the shopkeepers of the workshops and the people in charge of the assembly line. This King will announce the restructuring of the cement factory."
"Yes, Your humble servant will go at once."
As soon as Tie Zheng heard Du Qi's words, he flew away to inform everyone.
Du Qi smiled and also tidied up. Then, he and Shangguan Yi and the others left the courtyard unhurriedly and headed to the cement plant.
Along the way, Du Qi observed the situation of the cement plant. The cement plant could be said to be quite magnificent. After all, it covered an area of more than 10,000 acres and there were many people coming and going.
He could see many people transporting materials.
He could see many people transporting cement.
He could see many people coming to discuss business.
… …
People came and went, and the scene was like an endless stream. It could be said that the existence of this cement plant was equivalent to a new town, causing countless people to gather here.
Shangguan Yi sighed with emotion, "Your Majesty, if this subject didn't come to the Western Regions and didn't come to Xia Xia, I would never have come to this place. From the beginning to the end, I would never have thought that the Western Regions, Xia Xia, would have such a magnificent and magnificent sight as the cement plant. "
"In fact, when this subject just arrived in the Western Regions, I heard about the cement plant and personally came to take a look. At that time, my horizons were not opened like now. At that time, when I saw the endless stream of people coming and going in the cement plant, I was stunned. "
"A cement plant with countless people coming and going is really terrifying. At that time, this subject thought that Your Majesty was a wise ruler. Only a wise ruler can create such a scene. "
Shangguan Yi admired Du Qi from the bottom of his heart.
Du Qi laughed out loud and said, "Mr. Shangguan, this King accepts your flattery. But speaking of the cement plant, it's really magnificent. That's because this cement has too many functions. Not only can it be used to repair roads, but it can also be used to repair bridges, pave roads, build houses, build courtyard walls, and so on. It's very useful for the national economy and the people's livelihood. "
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty's words are very true."
Ma Zhou, Lai Ji, and the others followed along and also felt the shock of the cement plant. Everyone had an incredulous expression on their faces. They all felt that it was inconceivable for such a huge cement plant to have such a scene.
The group didn't travel quickly.
It was a good opportunity to see the situation in the cement plant.
When Du Qi saw the cement plant, he began to think about building a steel plant. Although the technology to smelt steel was not particularly developed, it could be arranged to separate the matter of steel production.
But the specifics would have to wait until they returned to Gaochang.
