Chapter 33 The establishment of the Fengzhou Commercial Bank, the glass cup?
"General Li, this benefit is all for you to take advantage of......"
Li Yan was pondering the affairs of the business department, and suddenly heard Wang Yu's voice, and he could hear that Wang Yu's voice was full of bitter taste.
"Wang Thorn Shi is too worried, although His Majesty handed over the Commercial Bank Division to me, but as long as Fengzhou develops and becomes rich in the future, how can it not be the merit of Lord Thorn Shi? I'm just doing some hard work. ”
Li Yan opened his eyes seriously and said nonsense, although this is the case, but in the future, most of the merits of Fengzhou's development will only fall on him, the envoy of the commercial bank, and Wang Yu can only drink some soup at most.
"General Li, you are really ...... Eh......"
Wang Yu smiled bitterly, he never thought that Li Shimin would directly set up a new department for a simple trade, and at the same time, he never thought that the manager of this new department would let a military general work part-time.
But Wang Yu also knew that this was indeed no wonder to Li Yan, at most it was his bad luck.
"If Wang Tingshi doesn't dislike it, he can hang a supervisory position in the Department of Commercial Banks."
Li Yan proposed a solution, and the reason why his plan could go smoothly this time was that Wang Yu did make a lot of contributions.
He, Li Yan, is not the one who unloads the mill and kills the donkey, so naturally he will not exclude Wang Yu from the business department.
Therefore, it is just right for the position of supervisor of the commercial bank to be handed over to Wang Yu.
When Wang Yu heard this, he was stunned, in his cognition, now that the business bank is newly established, there is no need to supervise it at all.
In other words, in the early days of the comptoirs, the Inspectorate was idle, but they were able to follow the development of the comptoir and mix up some merits.
"Then thank you to Envoy Li."
Wang Yu gave Li Yan a fist salute from the bottom of his heart, and sincerely admired Li Yan's character.
Of course, Wang Yu obviously misunderstood Li Yan's meaning, in Li Yan's conception, the supervision of this business department is not an idle job, and after a day or two, Wang Yu will find that he is very busy with this supervision committee.
"At noon, the director of the merchant house will meet all the caravans in the commercial building, and Wang Tingshi can come with me to take a look."
Li Yan explained a few words to Wang Yu, and then left the city wall and led people towards a brand-new building in Fengzhou City.
……
In the middle of Fengzhou City, a new three-story pavilion stands, which Li Yan ordered to build at the beginning of the project, and Li Yan named it a "commercial building"
The first floor of the commercial building consists of a hall and more than a dozen partitions, which is a place specially arranged by Li Yan for the merchants who come to Fengzhou in the future to discuss matters.
Compared with ordinary taverns and tea shops, commercial buildings will be much quieter, which is very suitable for negotiations between merchants.
The second floor of the building is completely different from the first floor, and the layout here is very similar to that of a bank or exchange in later generations.
In Li Yan's vision, the second floor of the commercial building should be the place where the officials and officials will work in the future, and it is also the place where those businessmen will come to the first time after entering Fengzhou.
At that time, all the documents for the settlement of goods, as well as the documents for taxation, will have to pass through here.
Of course, when Li Yan was preparing to build the commercial building, there was no department of the Commercial Bank Division, and after a few days, Li Yan would naturally build a plaque of the Commercial Bank Division and put it on the second floor.
When you get to the third floor of the commercial building, the difference between this and the first two floors is too great.
The layout of the third floor is very spacious, with plenty of tables and chairs, and a half-step platform.
This is the place where regular meetings will be held in the future, and it is also the place where Li Yan will meet with all the people of the caravan after a while.
At this moment, under the guidance of Zhang Dazhu and others, who were pulled by Li Yan to make up the numbers, all the heads of the caravan were rushing towards the commercial building.
After about half an hour, almost all the caravan leaders who arrived in Toyosu came to the third floor of the commercial building, which was the first time they had seen a building with such a structure.
"It's a strange layout, and I don't want to eat or drink."
"Nonsense, didn't you see a commercial building written outside? At first glance, this is a place where merchants do business. ”
"Yes, those partitions on the first floor are interesting and suitable for discussions."
"This Fengzhou trade may be a big deal of the imperial court, and I don't know when I can leave."
"Stop talking, the people from the court have arrived, hey, why is it an armorer?"
Everyone sat down on the third floor of the commercial building, and even if more than fifty merchants had arrived, more than two-thirds of the seats on the third floor were empty.
With Li Yan's arrival, everyone's eyes shifted to the half-step platform and saw this young over-the-top player.
"Everyone, welcome to the commercial building, I am Li Yan, the general of Fengzhou, and the secretary of the commercial bank, this Wang Yu, the assassin of Fengzhou, and the supervisor of the commercial bank, Wang Yu."
Li Yan sat in the middle of the half-step platform, Wang Yu sat next to Li Yan, and there was a long table in front of the two, with a total of five seats.
(Layout refers to the auditorium, the kind of seat where the leader sits)
"I've seen General Li, I've seen Wang Thorn History."
All the businessmen immediately stood up, and they did not dare to calm down at all.
Shinong Industry and Commerce, their merchants are completely at the bottom of the existence, and Li Yan and Wang Yu are obviously the top people in this Fengzhou City.
"This is the holy decree about the trade of Fengzhou, you can rest assured, after I explain to you today, the north gate will be opened tomorrow, and you can open up the new trade route of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks on your own."
Li Yan put the holy decree on the table and gave everyone a reassurance.
"In addition, the Department of Commercial Banks is a unique merchant management department in Fengzhou, which is in charge of merchant documents, merchant taxation, and verification of goods lists......"
Li Yan began to explain to everyone the functions of the Commercial Division, although this department was only established half an hour ago, but Li Yan had the intention to announce in advance that in today's day, Li Yan will transfer personnel from the army to temporarily carry out the work of the Commercial Division.
All the businessmen listened carefully to Li Yan's words, for fear of missing any details.
When they heard that the new agency of the Merchant Division would be in charge of all the business affairs of Toyoshu, they could not help but be a little shocked.
The court is playing really! And it's not a small fun!
From now on, there will inevitably be more and more caravans coming to Fengzhou, and these people here will obviously be the first explorers, and they will inevitably be the first to profit from this new trade route.
"The rules of the commercial department will be posted on the first floor of the commercial building later, and now that the business is finished, the envoy also needs you to help Fengzhou bring a horse."
Although Li Yan said that he was done with the right thing, in fact, in his heart, the next thing was the right thing.
"Dare to ask the envoy, what goods do you want us to bring?"
A businessman cautiously got up and asked, as a Hu businessman, and a Hu merchant of a small-scale caravan, he would always feel a little inferior when facing the officials of the Tang Dynasty.
"It's nothing, mainly some cloth and silk made by the people of Fengzhou, and of course, this."
As Li Yan spoke, he took out a cloth wrap from under the table and slowly opened it.
"It's ......"
"Hiss......"
"Glass Cup ?!!"
