Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 441; Meeting

When everyone heard this, they immediately quieted down and began to look through the plan at hand.

This lasted for more than half an hour. Huo Junyao didn't say a word the whole time. She just drank tea and waited quietly.

Only after seeing the last person finish reading did she put down her teacup and cough twice, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"Everyone has read the plan. If there is anything you don't understand, please feel free to ask."

Her business plan was very detailed, and sometimes there were some parts that were not very clear. When asked, Huo Junyao would explain patiently to ensure that all shareholders present understood.

"The plan your majesty has written is very good. We admire it and are willing to follow your plan."

Once one person spoke up, others followed suit to express their support.

Seeing that no one objected, Huo Junyao smiled and said, "Since it's rare for us to get together, and the company is basically stable now, if we execute this plan, the future will get better and better."

"There are still countless amounts of money waiting for us to earn. I believe everyone has felt at peace in the past period of time."

"Today, I will continue to make a few requests to you."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned at first, but soon someone realized that the company was going to have new regulations.

However, they had no resistance at all, for the simple reason that, as Huo Junyao had said, during that period of time in the past, each of them had earned a lot of money, and the money was earned very steadily, after all, the company's largest shareholder was the current emperor.

It can be said that the money they earned was earned through honest means and came from legitimate sources, so they don't have to worry about being caught.

Moreover, with this background, the company finds it much easier to do things among the people, especially among local officials, some soldiers, etc., who basically dare not take bribes.

This has made it much easier for them to do business.

They can make money openly without having to worry about anything, let alone being extorted by local officials. The proceeds from each trip are much greater than what they earned when they colluded with local officials to harm the people.

"Princess, if anyone has any requests, just let me know."

"Okay, the first point I want to make is that you must not use the company's name to oppress the people. I think you have all seen the situation of the people in various parts of the Yu Dynasty over the past period of time."

"Their company is dealing with the general public, and we need to make money from them in an aboveboard manner."

"The company's purpose has always been to value harmony, not only in dealing with partners, but also with ordinary customers. When their lives are better, their spending power will increase, and we can make money better and more safely."

"If the masses are so poor that they can't even afford to eat, how can we make money? We can't do things like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs."

When the first point was made, many people present nodded in agreement. Of course, there were also some people who frowned slightly. Huo Junyao, who was sitting in the main seat and saw those people frowning slightly, also felt a little dissatisfied.

These guys are all from big families without exception. She knows their morals best. On the surface, they look like humble gentlemen, but they do a lot of dirty things behind the scenes.

They especially look down on ordinary people and act like they are scholars and superior to others.

Although she was dissatisfied, she knew that she couldn't stop this kind of thing even if she wanted to. After all, it was a habit that had been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years. All she could do was to limit it as much as possible and prevent some bad things from happening.

"I know that many of you here look down on the common people, but I think that since we want to do big business, we should have a long-term vision and a broad perspective, and not just focus on the small profits in the hands of the poor people."

"Can you imagine how many people there are in a county, and how much silver they can come up with?"

"It's not worth it to exploit them just for that little bit of money. After all, our workshops everywhere need common people as workers, so making the common people feel disgusted is not worth it, is it?"

"Not only that, it's also dangerous. If a county makes too much noise, the court will know about it and will definitely investigate. Then you will definitely suffer the consequences. There's no point in getting yourself involved for such a small thing."

"You can't make enough money. What's most important is to make money safely and spend it to enjoy life. How many corrupt officials throughout history have had a good ending? I still hope that you can think twice before you act on this matter and don't make mistakes."

"I don't want there to be fewer people at next year's shareholders' meeting."

She said the last sentence in a joking tone, but her words also sounded a warning bell in everyone's heart.

Those people who were frowning nodded imperceptibly at this moment.

They are all smart people. Huo Junyao has made it so clear that they can make money in an honest way, and they can make a lot of money. There is really no need to take risks for a few small things.

Don't make money and then end up having no life to spend it.

The present Yu Dynasty is no longer what it used to be. With the development of commerce, the imperial court is also very wealthy. In the past, the aristocratic families could rely on the money and food in their hands to restrain the imperial court, but now it is no longer possible.

There is no shortage of grain in the imperial court now, and neither is there much shortage among the people. If there is really a famine, the imperial court's grain is more than enough to provide disaster relief, leaving them no chance to hoard grain and make a fortune from the national disaster.

It’s too dangerous. It’s better to make money safely and enjoy life openly like this.

"Secondly, some time ago, my second sister-in-law discovered that there were discrepancies in the accounts of workshops in certain places."

As soon as she said this, everyone present looked cold and began to look at each other.

If the accounts are not right, doesn't that mean someone has embezzled money?

You have to know that the company's money is collected in a unified manner, and then when the time comes, after leaving operating funds, it is distributed according to shares.

If someone pocketed the money, doesn't that mean someone embezzled their money?

"Please investigate who did this abominable thing, Princess. If it is true that they embezzled money, they should be fired from the company."

When someone said this, many people agreed with him.

Everyone shares the money, and everyone hands over their harvests honestly. Now suddenly someone dishonest shows up. How can this be acceptable?

People who are greedy for big guys' money and treat big guys as fools must be severely punished.

Huo Junyao nodded. She really despised such short-sighted people and didn't want to keep them at all. At the same time, she had already decided to punish them severely. This was the first time. If she didn't set an example, then others would follow suit. How could the company continue to operate?
Thinking of this, she nodded directly to Fang Zhilan beside her.
