"First of all, when these departments set up by the kings are operating, there will inevitably be situations where various shops interact with each other, for example, when providing food and shelter, there are fewer people and can be quiet, but when the number of people is large, it is necessary to find other shops to cooperate, so that it will inevitably be noticed by people with intentions, and the same is true for providing gold medicines. ”

"Although we have gathered in secret over the years, we have never crossed paths on the surface, and we even pretend not to know each other when we meet, for fear of revealing flaws. ”

"At this point, we thought about the countermeasures for a while, and decided that instead of hiding it, it would be better to take it directly to the surface, and several of our stores directly announced their cooperation, what does the king think?"

Li Xiaokuan nodded and said, "This idea is good, you can directly set up a chamber of commerce." ”

"Chamber of Commerce?" everyone looked at each other, obviously not having heard of the term.

Li Xiaokuan realized that there may not be such a thing as a chamber of commerce in this world.

"When stores like you come together, it's the Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Oh-" the crowd looked at each other with a look of abrupt realization.

Li Xiaokuan thought about it, these stores are many and miscellaneous, and they are not easy to manage, rather than setting up a company, it is better to directly let them combine freely and become a chamber of commerce, so he said patiently.

"If you set up a chamber of commerce first, not only to join your own store, but also to win over others, and everyone to participate, then our goal will not be too obvious. ”

"Wonderful!"

"That's true, why didn't we think of it......"

"It's better to be ashamed, it's better to be ashamed than ......"

Everyone bragged, but eventually someone raised questions.

"So, for what reason are we going to get someone to join us?"

"Shhh......hh What if people don't want to work with us?"

Li Xiaokuan thought for a moment, smiled slightly, and said.

"What do you think the Chamber of Commerce has in addition to cooperating with each other?"

The crowd discussed for a while, but did not say a single reason.

"Let me tell you about it. ”

As soon as Li Xiaokuan's voice fell, everyone put on a look of listening.

"First, if you are doing business, needless to say, even if you have a fixed store, do you often have to go out to find a source of goods? So when you come to a foreign land, if there is such a place, where merchants from all over the world gather, they can introduce you to merchants, and even they themselves are merchants, do you say it is convenient?"

"It's convenient, it's so convenient. ”

"Yes, the last time I supplied the last home, suddenly cut off, I asked someone to look for a long time, ran several places to continue, if there is such a place, where does it take so much effort. ”

"Okay, second, if you are in a foreign land, but there is such a place, you can meet fellow villagers who agree to do business as well, and you share the local accent, is it warm?"

"Warm, so warm!"

"Then, thirdly, if one day, you encounter an emergency and need the help of people from the government, but you have no way out, and when you are desperate, there is such a place, and some old brothers in it happen to know some people from the government to help you introduce you, are you comfortable?"

"It's comfortable, it's so comfortable!"

"And then fourth, let's say you opened a hostel, and today a large group of people came to the city, and they don't know which one to choose among so many hostels, but if it just happens that the owner of the restaurant they ate today just met in the Chamber of Commerce in the morning, and the conversation was very speculative, and he recommended you to make this big deal, are you surprised?"

"Surprise, surprise!"

"And the most important point is information sharing, if a merchant hears any important information, you can share it with other merchants in the Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time you can also get the information from other merchants, and you can be prepared in advance and prepared. ”

......

"Since the Chamber of Commerce is an organization, it must have a governing body. ”

"Because the members are merchants, the power must be in your own hands. Whenever a major decision is made, it must be voted on by all merchants, and the minority obeys the majority. ”

"But there is no need to do some small things on weekdays in this way, you can vote for a group of representatives by each merchant, and set up a small council to deal with some trivial things. ”

Li Xiaokuan talked a lot in one breath, and his mouth was a little dry.

"The king is really a genius, and the old minister only understands 12 out of 10, and then he suddenly feels enlightened. If the king is born some time earlier, this is from the big country of Shang, where will it be their turn to be the state of Chu!"

The old man surnamed Bai praised sincerely.

Li Xiaokuan smiled when he heard this, noncommittal. I'm just standing on the shoulders of those who came before me.

"But Your Majesty, the name of this chamber of commerce has not yet been decided. ”

"Yes, please give the king a name. ”

"Please give the king a name!"

Li Xiaokuan thought for a moment.

"Let's call it the Weeds Chamber of Commerce. ”

The crowd was puzzled.

"This weed, always feel ......"

It's not atmospheric enough, it's a bit "low", and no one dares to say these words.

Then they heard Li Xiaokuan continue.

"Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered. Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate. ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"The weeds, although they were burned by fire, but when the spring breeze blew, they covered the field again......"

"Symbolizes the ...... of endless vitality"

"This weed ......"

"Wonderful!"

Li Xiaokuan then patiently answered the questions raised by several people.

"Your Majesty, why don't you open a shop in the city?"

Suddenly, a suggestion was made.

"That's right, Your Majesty, with your intelligence, if you are in business, then I'm afraid you will earn all the gold yuan coins in the world!"

"Stupid, all the money in the world has been earned by the king, so whose money will the king make in the future?"

“......”

"Don't mess around, the king has every day to take care of everything, how can he have the heart to focus on these little things. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone didn't dare to joke at will.

"It doesn't matter. ”

Li Xiaokuan thought about it just now, in fact, it is good to have the opportunity to open a store, which can not only pass the time, but also obtain credit points through trading.

"There is still a long way to go for the rejuvenation of the Qin State, and in the future, it will take a lot of money to rebuild the homes of the people of the Qin State. ”

"The king thinks about the people of Daqin everywhere, it's really benevolent......"

"The king is really benevolent......"

The crowd boasted again.

"If the king wants to open a shop, then there are some shops in good locations under the name of Weichen who are willing to dedicate to the king. ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen also has ......"

Some officials with some assets have said that they want to hand over their shops to Li Xiaokuan to operate, but Li Xiaokuan decisively rejected them.

"In the eyes of outsiders, I am a newcomer to the countryside, and suddenly get these shops in prime locations, what's the matter?"

"If you really want to give it, just give me an ordinary one that suits my current status. ”

Everyone whispered and exchanged, and finally one of them spoke up a little nervously.

"Your Majesty, there happens to be an empty shop under Weichen who wants to transfer, but it is close to East Street, according to the lush place of Zhongcheng, there is a quarter of an hour's foot power, and the shop is small and simple, I don't know ...... Wang."

"That's very good. ”

Li Xiaokuan nodded.

The man was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

"I guess I thank you. ”

"Wechen don't dare, Wechen don't dare, it is the greatest honor of Wechen's life to serve the king. ”

Li Xiaokuan looked at the panic of the courtiers in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in the end, it is a monarch and a minister, and this kind of respect engraved in his bones is impossible to dissolve in a short period of time.

At this time, the old man surnamed Bai said: "Since the king has determined the store, Wechen has the courage to ask the king to hand over the purchase of utensils and cleaning the shop to Wechen, and Wechen can also send a few servants who listen to the call for the king's dispatch." ”

"There's no need for this, everyone outside will treat me as if they don't know me, and try not to reveal my identity. ”

"It's Wei Chen's inconsiderate thoughts, please forgive the king. ”

"It's okay, it's not early, that's all for today, you go back and think about it, and ask me if you have any questions." And the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, get done as soon as possible. ”

"Obey. ”
