Chapter 535 Establishment of Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce
At this time, Huang Changzong's eyes were full of anticipation when he looked at Cao Bang.
Huang Changzong really hoped that Cao Bang could realize something, at least under his own reminder.
But in the end, Huang Changzong was still disappointed.
Looking at Cao Bang, who was talking eloquently, Huang Changzong didn't know what to say.
At this time, Cao Bang was still saying some loyal words, "We can't learn from these people, we must do things well in the future, and we must treat the emperor with our hearts." ”
Huang Changzong was helpless.
Is that what I asked you to say? What's the use of these?
Is it just to show your loyalty to the emperor by pulling you here?
There are more people who show loyalty to the emperor, and Feng Guan is human and not human these days, and they all want to show loyalty to the emperor.
It doesn't matter, the emperor is very wise today, not just by what you say, but by what you do.
It's useless to just talk and don't practice, fake tricks, and it's useless. Be sure to do it.
But Cao Bang was still a little nervous, this Tianzi No. 1 room impressed him too deeply, and he even felt that there were people around him now, and even the emperor was next door.
Cao Bang was a little nervous and didn't know what to say.
In such a situation, it is simply impossible for him to comprehend Huang Changzong's hints.
In the end, Huang Changzong looked at Cao Bang helplessly and said, "Brother Cao, I think you should do something." The business atmosphere in Yangzhou has become like this, and each of you has an unshirkable responsibility. In order to avoid such a thing from happening in the future, you, the leader of the Yangzhou business community, should do something. ”
Cao Bang was still a little confused.
How did I become a leader in Yangzhou's business community?
However, Cao Bang soon reacted, he is indeed the leader of Yangzhou's business community, because those who can be leaders have been cut down and arrested.
After all the people with big heads died, the only big head left became the biggest one.
Cao Bang suddenly realized something that Huang Changzong had let him understand.
He raised his head and looked at Huang Changzong, and said uncertainly, "Shouldn't you do something as a leader?" ”
"You're so right!" Huang Changzong clapped his hands excitedly and said, "You should do something." ”
"Establish a Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, this Chamber of Commerce should be the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and manage the businessmen of Yangzhou in a unified manner. Of course, we can't force ourselves to find like-minded people. Huang Changzong hurriedly said.
In fact, Huang Changzong himself didn't believe it.
Because at this time, the entire city of Yangzhou can be said to be panicked, and all the merchants of Yangzhou are like this. Especially after they saw the beheading on the city wall once, it was good that they were not scared to death.
At this time, everyone is scared and wants to find a way out.
And Cao Bang is their idol, he originally had a big family, although he took out all his property? But in reality?
Someone went to get something very important? That is the emperor's forgiveness. This is an artifact! It can exert a lot of power.
Not only was Cao Bang not severely punished, but he also joined the Ministry of Internal Affairs? With an official body. This shows that Cao Bang has a deep heritage? Very means.
There are actually a lot of people who want to contact Cao Bang these days. It's just that Cao Bang didn't dare to do anything in order to avoid suspicion.
At this time, climb high and shout? That's not prestige but prestige, no one dares to refuse Cao Bang; Who knows what will happen after rejecting Cao Bang?
So there's no such thing as voluntary or involuntary.
And Huang Changzong said voluntarily? If you don't want to? Then Jinyiwei will come and talk to you.
At this time, unifying all the merchants in Yangzhou was also something that Huang Changzong wanted to do.
Cao Bang continued: "When the time comes, we can make a self-discipline regulation for Yangzhou merchants. What can we do to prevent this from happening today? What can be done to be more loyal to His Majesty? ”
"Now that the four people are equal, although you are a businessman, you are also a citizen of the Ming Dynasty? Are you Your Majesty's people? Then you're going to do what you're supposed to do. ”
"Supporting the Ming Dynasty and being loyal to His Majesty, this is what we must do. In our daily actions, we must pay taxes with peace of mind, do not evade taxes, do not oppress the good, do not hoard, do not cheat, do business safely and steadily, and earn the money we deserve. ”
Cao Bang listened to Huang Changzong's words? The eyes are getting brighter and brighter.
In fact, Cao Bang probably understood what Huang Changzong wanted to let him do.
What are these Yangzhou businessmen self-discipline regulations? To put it bluntly, it was not what they wanted to come up with, but what the emperor wanted them to come up with. And this is a new rule? It is also the cost of getting on the bus.
Only you agreed, did you agree? Did you sign this ordinance? So you are qualified to make money? has a qualification to become a Ming merchant.
To put it bluntly, this is actually a simplified version of the new business law.
If Zhu Youxiao implements it himself, then there is a problem here; But if it is advocated by Cao Bang and all the businessmen in Yangzhou support it, then this is the public opinion, and there is a lot of room for manipulation.
When the time comes, this regulation will be sent to Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao will inevitably praise and reward it, and then promote it.
And when the Ministry of Internal Affairs selects partners, it will definitely give priority to these selections. When the time comes, the rules they have set are not uniform, so they need to be unified.
It's more appropriate for the two of us to unify it, of course, it's the imperial court, it's the emperor.
When the time comes, it will be time to promulgate new business regulations, and in such a situation, this kind of thing will go very smoothly, and what Huang Changzong wants Cao Bang to do is to make a start.
Seeing that Cao Bang finally understood, Huang Changzong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he has put it quite bluntly.
Cao Bang glanced at Huang Changzong helplessly, can we talk in another place?
If you talk about it in another place, I can figure it out, and I can figure it out when you hint at it.
But Huang Changzong didn't think so, and said in the first room of heaven and earth that he wanted people to hear and report to His Majesty. After all, he saved Cao Bang before, and there are still some disadvantages.
If Cao Bang can take the initiative at this time, it will be a reversal for both of them. Cao Bang showed his ability, and he also showed loyalty.
It's a pity that the plan still failed, and he still told this matter, and Cao Bang couldn't understand it.
"As soon as I get back, I'll gather people and discuss with them to get them out as soon as possible." Cao Bang stood up and looked at Huang Changzong and said, "Brother Huang Xian, you can rest assured that there is absolutely no problem in this matter. ”
Although this sentence was said to Huang Changzong, it was actually said to Zhu Youxiao.
Huang Changzong also stood up and nodded there with a smile.
The matter was cleared, Cao Bang also understood, and it would be good to make things happen.
"Then let's go together." Huang Changzong nodded and said.
The two left Lichun Courtyard, and the news was sent to the yamen of Yangzhou prefect as soon as possible, and it was handed to Zhu Youxiao's hand.
Looking at the conversation between the two, Zhu Youxiao smiled and casually threw the record aside.
Obviously, Huang Changzong wanted to show it and reverse his impression.
But Cao Bang is just a businessman after all, although he has bought many officials, but in fact, he has not been in the officialdom for a long time, or even before. Cao Bang didn't know about these messy things in the officialdom at all, and it seemed that he would have to exercise for a while.
But it's a good idea. After they get things out, they can naturally make good use of it. When the time comes, it can also be promoted. Let all the businessmen comply, and then rectify it to form a new business law.
The commercial law of the Ming Dynasty is too chaotic, and without a professional commercial law, this will not work. When you get back, you can start working on the business laws for them.
"Alright, leave them alone." Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at Chen Hong and said, "Let them do it themselves." ”
"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed.
At the same time, he also understood that Huang Changzong's matter should be regarded as the past.
Obviously, this Huang Changzong is really a capable person, and His Majesty can still tolerate such a person occasionally going out of line.
At the same time, Cao Bang also proved his worth, and it was indeed useful to keep him.
And the news soon spread in Yangzhou City, and Cao Bang wanted to gather all Yangzhou businessmen to set up a Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce.
In fact, this organization has always existed, but it used to be the Hui Chamber of Commerce. Although the name is not this, but in private, everyone's tandem has never stopped.
This time, the name was moved to the table, and for a while, Yangzhou City was boiling.
After all, Cao Bang successfully escaped a catastrophe, is this to help everyone escape a catastrophe? Or is this something the emperor wants us to do?
No one could have guessed, but no one would not participate.
In the Chamber of Commerce, some regulations are also being formulated.
One of the things that has been mentioned again and again is the fees. If you want to join the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, you naturally have to pay a lot of membership fees.
With this due, the Chamber of Commerce will provide you with some guarantees to do business.
Suddenly, the wind blew again in Yangzhou, making everyone who paid attention to Yangzhou City have some unknown reasons.
However, no one cares about this matter, no one cares about the yamen, Jinyiwei doesn't seem to know, and the emperor doesn't seem to care, which makes people smell something unusual.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao was also paying attention to this matter, wanting to see what kind of progress there was.
He was also monitoring the entire Jiangnan, and countless news were quickly sent to Yangzhou City.
Everyone is waiting, wondering what exactly His Majesty is going to do?
And the merchants in other places were panicked at this time.
The emperor really went on a killing spree. When he arrived in Yangzhou, he went on a killing spree. What about other places?
