Of course, there is another important unofficial reason, which is that Tonglu people are very united and friendly to others.
In Tonglu, there will be no "infighting" that would benefit others.
Of course, even if locals suffer losses when doing business with outsiders, they can still be treated fairly and equitably.
If it's your own problem, you should take it as a lesson and try again. Tonglu people firmly believe in the principle of "turns of fortune in business" and don't care about gains and losses.
Often, in this way, a good reputation and reputation are left behind, and the business becomes more prosperous.
This "eight in, eight out, two out" business is flourishing among Tonglu people, attracting an endless stream of businessmen from out of town to come to Tonglu in search of partners and business opportunities.
Therefore, the "Liuquan Guard" who finally settled in Tonglu a hundred years ago was quite unique.
Being in such a prosperous commercial town, the Ministry of Health's survival is guaranteed, and the people of No. 100 have enough food, drink, sleep, and sleep.
This is a favorable aspect, and also a positive aspect of defending General Anqiu.
There is also a negative side, which can be summed up in eight words, that is, "the world is full of chaos and chaos, and the moon is like water in the mirror."
Compared with the other three guards of the General Guard, the "Liuquan Guard" gave up their specialty and no longer focused on investigation and tracking, but instead focused on doing business.
For this reason, as the chief officer at the time, Xie Liuyun's great-grandfather, Xie Yifeng, even made the decision to abandon martial arts and embrace civil service.
He decisively started from himself and no longer allowed his grandson, Xie Liuyun's father, Xie Tingsong, to practice martial arts.
Even the subordinates under their jurisdiction are not allowed to show their martial arts skills to outsiders in Tonglu, except for the vanguard who are responsible for actions and cannot abandon martial arts. Anyone who violates this will be severely punished.
Looking at it now, such a decision may be related to the political environment at the time and their geographical location on the southeast coast.
Tonglu belongs to Hangzhou, which is located in the northern part of Zhejiang Province, on the southeast coast, at the southern end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and on the lower reaches of the Qiantang River. It is an important commercial material distribution center and the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.
As the "Liuquan Guards" who migrated from the north, they are sandwiched between the north and the south. If they want to be stationed and survive in Hangzhou, it does take more thought and effort than the other three guards.
However, it is precisely because of such regulations that in the next hundred years of the "Liuquan Guards", the head of the "Four Davids", the majestic "Yongwang Guards", was the only one that lost its bloodiness and vigor.
However, the "Liuquan Guard" who had undergone transformation did not know it. The entire Ministry of Health was obsessed with business operations, and even did some outrageous things for the sake of commercial interests.
Relying on the huge sum of money allocated by the General Guard to the Ministry of Health, "Liuquan Guard" quickly completed the primitive accumulation of capital within a few years and began to actively expand.
Although today's "Liuquanwei" is not one of the top three in a certain business field, in terms of comprehensive strength, it is the largest business complex in Tonglu, with its business covering all business fields.
Is this an intentional move by Xie Liuyun's great-grandfather and grandfather, or is it the need for diversified business operations? It is estimated that in the Xie family, the hereditary leader of "Liuquan Guard", only Xie Tingsong can explain clearly.
Regarding the operating status of "Liuquanwei", Yong Shijing needs to understand and master it as soon as possible, and it is also a very important work content.
Yong Ming was extremely concerned about this issue.
Ultimately, the industries in Tonglu, no matter who the main operators are, are the sanitary properties of "Yongwangwei".
As the new generation leader of the "Yongwang Guard", Yong Ming will never allow any individual to take the health property as his own, let alone the emergence of small interest groups in the Ministry of Health, collusion with internal and external parties, and harming the interests of the Ministry of Health.
"Liuquan Guard" is the head of the "Four Davids", and the chief officer happened to disappear, so he was the first to be rectified.
However, the task at this stage is to rescue Xie Tingsong and ensure the safety of key figures in the Ministry of Health.
According to Yong Ming's plan, the "Green Bull Guard", "White Crane Guard" and "Hanyan Guard" all have to undergo verification.
If problems are discovered, they should be corrected, and in serious cases, they should be held accountable.
On this point, Yong Ming will never be vague.
After putting the last cash of the day's business income into the safe, Xie Shizhen locked the safe.
The cashier clerk followed closely and locked the iron door of the iron room where the safe was placed.
After they exited the warehouse together, the accountant closed the heavy solid wood door of the warehouse and locked the door.
After Xie Shizhen waited for the accountant to lock the warehouse door, he also inserted a key into the keyhole of the warehouse door, turned it three times, and locked it.
The door of the gold shop's warehouse has a double lock system. The key to one lock is in the hands of the accountant, and the key to the other lock is in the hands of Xie Shizhen.
As the chief official of the Ministry of Health, Xie Tingsong had two keys to the warehouse door, but he did not have the keys to the iron house and the safe.
The accountant of Jinpu is responsible to the chief officer of the Ministry of Health. Although he is a subordinate of Zuowei of the Ministry of Health, he is not under the control of Xie Shizhen.
The clerk in charge of the cashier at the gold shop is responsible to the chief of the Ministry of Health for specific matters, but as a subordinate of the Ministry of Health, he is under the control of the chief officer of the Ministry of Health in terms of management.
This kind of management model also exists in other industries of the Ministry of Health.
The difference is that although the specific persons in charge of other industries are subordinates of Xie Shizhen's guard, they can report specific matters directly to the chief officer of the Ministry of Health.
Xie Shizhen only has the role of supervision and guidance in management, and has no power to mobilize and distribute.
The result of this arrangement is that Xie Shizhen has the authority to actually control the operating entities of the Ministry of Health, but he must be subordinate to the chief official of the Ministry of Health in terms of specific operations.
The personnel management and financial rights of the Ministry of Health belong only to the chief official of the Ministry of Health.
If compared with today's management model, Xie Shizhen is a standard professional manager, who is only responsible for the main body of operations. Although he has a say in individual management, he has no right to dispose of it.
After finishing the business after closing, Xie Shizhen took his clerk and accountant to check whether the doors and windows were closed, then turned off the lights in the store and began to lock the door and door panels.
At almost 9:40, Xie Shizhen separated from his two subordinates and walked home alone.
His home is actually three streets away from the shop, not far from Andu Si Lane, and the straight-line distance is only three to four hundred meters.
These subordinates with titles in the Ministry of Health basically live near the chief official's house, and the houses are distributed by the Ministry of Health, so that they can gather together to be on call and at their disposal.
The rest of the subordinates live concentratedly near their respective health headquarters. The houses are purchased or rented by the Ministry of Health and basically do not mix with local residents.
However, as they were stationed and lived in Tonglu for a long time, their subordinates married wives and had children. The descendants have multiplied to this day, and most of them are now a large family.
The original housing provided by the Ministry of Health can no longer meet the needs of daily life. Although it is not recognized and supported by the Ministry of Health, many of them have found their own rental houses to live in.
In fact, the Ministry of Health turned a blind eye to this situation and acquiesced, otherwise what else could it do?
