Now that Jiang Yichun's identity has not been announced to the public, and not many people know about it, Bai Ruozhu is indeed not good at bearing the name of "Mrs. Jiang", and she can't help but think of the Mrs. Jiang Chen who came to make trouble, and she feels really loveless about this title.

Fortunately, women in Danliang can do business with their faces exposed, and they can also walk outside with their own names, and they don't have to have their husbands' surnames.

"This ...... It's my husband who has official business, and the specific time is not something I can determine, so I'm really embarrassed to apologize to Xue Gongzi on my behalf. Bai Ruozhu said again.

When the little guy heard this, he knew that it was not good to say anything, so he could only put the invitation card and leave.

Bai Ruozhu didn't move the invitation card on the table, she was a little curious about Xue Gongzi having to invite her, she felt that she needed to find out the situation of the various families in the capital. Soon, she handed over the task, she believed that the Chamber of Commerce must have the information of these big families in the capital, and let Jian Qi find a way to transfer a copy.

In the evening, the information came to her hands, including some big families in the capital, Bai Ruozhu flipped through it, there are many families who marry princes and princesses, and then the county king, the general, the marquis, etc., as well as the prime minister, the prince and other high-ranking official families, she was dazzled, and sure enough, there are many officials in the capital who can scare people to death.

She searched for a long time, but she found Xue Junwang's house, which did not contain much content, only wrote that Xue Junwang had a hearty personality and liked to make friends. The original Liu died of illness more than ten years ago, leaving only the eldest son Xue Wenqian. Eight years ago, King Xue Jun married the Gu clan again, another son of the Gu clan, who is seven years old this year, and King Xue Jun has a strong body, I am afraid that it is not necessarily who will inherit the title in the future.

Bai Ruozhu pondered, probably Xue Wenqian's life in the mansion was getting more and more difficult, and even his financial resources were affected, so he wanted to make some friends outside, and even wanted to partner with others to do business?

She suffered the loss of Du Zhongshu once, and she would not cooperate with any more princes of the family, let alone get involved in other people's infighting, so she secretly made up her mind that she must avoid this Xue Gongzi.

In the blink of an eye, early in the morning of the second day, Bai Ruozhu handed the pedal to Lamei to watch, and then went to the Chamber of Commerce Council with her master.

There were really a lot of old men and middle-aged people who attended, and there were also two old men who brought young people with them, obviously like Elder Lin, they brought their own apprentices.

Bai Ruozhu secretly looked at the two of them, both were young men in their early twenties, one of them was as white as jade, and he looked like a handsome son from a scholarly family, not like a son from a businessman's family. The other had slightly dark skin, looked a little fierce, and his eyes also glanced towards Bai Ruozhu, and his expression was very arrogant.

Bai Ruozhu ignored him, this kind of mind on his face, he was not so arrogant, and he was afraid that he didn't have much ability.

The old stewards and elders who came to the meeting entered one after another, and they all looked at the three young people, but it was obvious that everyone would pay more attention to the two guys, especially the son who was as white as jade, and he just swept her away, and he didn't seem to be very optimistic about her.

Bai Ruozhu pouted secretly, is it because she is a woman? She didn't care much about this meeting anymore, and wanted to casually put forward a similar idea, just don't lose her master's person, but now she is holding her breath in her heart, she has to prove it to them, what's wrong with women? Women are no worse than men!

Lin Zhenghui greeted a few old people who were familiar with each other, and also introduced Bai Ruozhu to a few people, she respectfully saluted those people, and stood aside to listen to her master talking to the others.

The arrogant man before glanced at Bai Ruozhu, and his expression seemed to look down on Bai Ruozhu even more.

Soon, Han Weizhuang, the general president of the Chamber of Commerce, arrived, greeted everyone, and announced the start of the council.

"Today we are mainly discussing the new measures in the second half of this year, there have been some improvements to the old initiatives, everyone here can express their opinions, especially the three young people who came this year, what ideas can be boldly said, so as to inject some fresh blood into our chamber of commerce. Han Weizhuang said.

As soon as he finished speaking, an elder immediately spoke: "I will raise the tax revenue of the Chamber of Commerce in the second half of the year by one hundred and one in order to increase the income of the association. ”

Han Weizhuang frowned, "I only mentioned one hundred and one last year, and the merchants still have to pay taxes to the imperial court, and we are rising faster than the imperial court, isn't it bad?"

Bai Ruozhu nodded secretly, the taxes paid by the imperial court are compulsory, and the Chamber of Commerce plays a role in coordinating and protecting businesses, and it is not too coercive, and frequent tax increases can easily affect the status of the Chamber of Commerce.

Immediately after that, some people talked about their opinions, and then some people mentioned other ideas, but none of them were substantive constructions, and everyone else also spoke, but they mostly said that they were against or agreed, and few put forward good ideas.

"I have an idea below," his skin was slightly dark, and Li Dan, who had been a little arrogant before, opened his mouth.

Everyone looked at him, although he was not very good-looking, but his eyes were dark and bright, and he looked extraordinarily shrewd.

"Nowadays, we collect a fixed amount of taxes, for example, restaurants in the same area collect the same commercial tax, but some restaurants are small restaurants, and some are big restaurants like Yingkelai. So I built yì to three grades, and businesses with good scale business definitely need more care from us, so it's normal to pay more. As he spoke, he proudly raised his chin towards the jade-faced boy, and he didn't look at Bai Ruozhu this time, obviously he didn't take Bai Ruozhu in his eyes anymore.

"This is a good suggestion, and it makes more sense to think about it. Han Weizhuang said.

Everyone praised them all the time, and Li Dan saluted everyone with a smile on his face, looking proud.

"Hmph, Old Ghost Wei is really good at helping his apprentices, it's not that he thinks there is anything to be proud of. Lin Zhenghui muttered in an unhappy whisper.

Bai Ruozhu snickered in the back, her master can say this, nine times out of ten, it is the move that Li Dan's master, Elder Wei, has come up with someone to discuss together, and then let Li Dan be a blockbuster.

"Since Li Dan has come up with a good idea, the other two young people should also talk about their thoughts. Han Weizhuang said.

Everyone suddenly turned their attention to Bai Ruozhu and the jade-faced boy, and the jade-faced boy looked at Han Weizhuang and said, "President, I don't have any good ideas, I just want to follow the seniors to learn well, so as not to be too stupid." ”

Many people showed disappointment, everyone felt that such an excellent son was not as good as he looked on the outside, or that he was too cautious. Bai Ruozhu glanced at the man again, and said in his heart that this person is really not simple.

The president didn't say much, but looked at Bai Ruozhu and asked, "I heard that the buffet that arose in Beijing was created by Bai Ruozhu himself, I don't know if you have a good mention today?"
