1717 Department of Commerce
The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, the concept of the six departments has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the four people's agriculture and industry are divided, and the first three people's farmers and workers can find their corresponding subordinate institutions, but the businessmen are thrown aside, which also reflects the low status of the businessmen in disguise.

Xiao Lotian established the Ministry of Commerce, not to mention what this department does, just by virtue of the word business, it can already make the Chinese businessmen in the world cry, this is a very obvious signal, first there is a businessman council and then there is the Ministry of Commerce.
One is a forum for discussing current affairs, while the other is a powerful government department with real power, which shows that Xiao Letian's policy of valuing businessmen will never change.
How can you not be excited about such good news, how can you not cry with joy when the political status that many generations of businessmen have dreamed of is finally given at this moment, and a country and a nation have finally opened their eyes and openly recognized the merits of businessmen to society.
China's misunderstanding of merchants for thousands of years is too deep, you can find 10,000 stories of merchants who are not kind to the rich, but you can only find a few examples of merchants who value love and justice, the people are seriously hated for the rich, and they want to kill their whole family when they see the businessman eating meat, but no one has ever thought about how much effort the businessman has put in.
Merchants in ancient times were very hard, because in the past, commercial activities were more in the form of merchants, and the salt from the coast was sent to the grasslands and to the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the gold and iron deposits in the mountains had to be transported to the city over the mountains.
No one wants to know how dangerous it is, how bitter it is, how many businessmen have been killed by bandits, and no one wants to count it, under the long-term suppression and smearing of the traditional scholar class, the people can no longer see the hard work and risks paid by this class, and only see their greedy appearance when they eat meat.
This is the most important contribution that merchants have made to the human world, and even the exchanges between civilizations are completed by merchants, and we can eat watermelons, walnuts, sesame seeds, tomatoes, and potatoes...... The introduction of these new species to China is due to businessmen.
In the era when the Silk Road was not separated, it often took two or three years for Eastern and Western merchants to walk a trip to goods, and if a merchant could walk the Silk Road more than ten times in his life, it was already the limit.
Most of the merchants did not make it that many times, either dying in the desert halfway, or at the hands of bandits, or going bankrupt and living in a foreign land, and only a few of them could earn money and live in peace.
The survival of human society is inseparable from the work of merchants, but this group bears the most moral condemnation.
In fact, this is a typical small people's psychology who only sees thieves eating meat, but does not see thieves being beaten, they see the door of the mansion of the merchant's wife and beautiful concubine, eating and drinking spicy fat pigs.
But no one thought about it, if there was no merchant, then his life would have been unsustainable. If there are no salt merchants to bring you salt, what will the people in the interior who do not produce salt eat? There are no iron merchants to trade in iron, so people go there to buy kitchen knives and farm tools?
Not to mention the necessary oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, pots and pans in life, not every region can be as self-sufficient as the Peach Blossom Spring, and the living standards of the people will quickly avalanche in areas without merchants.
Can't do without businessmen, but also scold businessmen, this is actually a manifestation of the darker and dirty psychology of human beings, those who scold the most fierce, often the most incompetent.
Because they themselves know very well that they will not be able to enjoy that kind of rich life in their lifetime, because if they were really given a chance to let him go into business, he would not be able to do business at all.
They are illiterate, they don't know the way, they don't know how to negotiate the price of goods, they don't know how to deal with the government, and they can't say anything but kowtow when they meet bandits...... In other words, the most ferocious business behavior they scolded was actually unfamiliar territory that was unattainable for them.
It is precisely because he knows very well that he will not be able to eat the meat in it for the rest of his life, but pink eye still stimulates the poisonous snake of jealousy in their hearts, so they will work hard to spread the shameless stories of those true and false businessmen, and spill the dirty water in their fantasies one by one.
And there is the promotion of the scholar class!
The gods of wealth present have long understood these truths, businessmen are the easiest to get into contact with the dark side of human nature, but where the big businessmen have many grievances in their stomachs, outsiders have no way of knowing.
Xiao Letian once said that when a class has been oppressed for too long, it must have accumulated enough explosive energy, and smart people must be good at using this energy to achieve great things.
The Qing government doesn't want these businessmen, but I Xiao Letian does! Confucianism despises and smears these businessmen, and we Chinese people support them!
Now Xiao Letian's reform plan has gone one step deeper, and the emergence of the Ministry of Commerce has given businessmen the right to participate in politics.
Seeing a room full of people sighing, the old shopkeeper also remembered the grievances he had suffered in business over the years, and his eyes were red and he quickly pressed the corner of his eye with a handkerchief.
The willow hesitation next to him is the praise in the whole scene, he has to push into the city at the critical moment, and see that everyone's emotions are almost released, this man put down the tea bowl and smiled.
"Okay, okay, what's the matter with the big day! In the future, with the Ministry of Commerce, it will be better to communicate with other departments, if our business is bullied, we can directly appeal to the Ministry of War, we are all one-sided officials, maybe our big warship will go to save us at that time......
"There are still many commercial disputes, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will not sit idly by, these ministers sit together to communicate, and we businessmen can be regarded as having a backstage!"
The cow shopkeeper's crying eyes narrowed together, and he only nodded excitedly.
Liu hesitated, his voice turned, and his face sank, "But everyone, you also have to think about it, the Ministry of Commerce is expanded from the structure of Lotte Bank, to put it bluntly, those service items of Lotte Bank are upgraded......"
"But this Lotte Bank is the prime minister's private property! Could we just let the Chinese rush the public? The prime minister is talking about direct promotion, and he doesn't ask for a penny, this is to give in vain!"
"Prime Minister Gao Feng Liangjie, do we have to pretend to be stupid? If that's the case, you really have to touch your conscience!"
Shopkeeper Niu and Boss Mi understood at once in their hearts, and the two of them actually said in unison, "That can't be! Why can't you let the prime minister suffer, right? Besides, there are rules for doing business, and the brothers have to settle accounts!"
"Mr. Hesitation, you can show me a way, as long as we can make a decision now!"
