"Ma Lao's concerns are not incomplete, but I have thought of this, all the tax money collected by the government is used for the public, for a period of one year, I will establish a detailed account book, which will be announced to the public at that time, second, I will establish the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce, this Chamber of Commerce is a semi-official organization, as long as you join the Chamber of Commerce, it is equivalent to recognizing the leadership of the commander, then within the authority of the commander, as long as it is not too much, priority support will be given in any aspect." Zhu Hao threw out a bait.

"Chamber of Commerce?" The eyes of the head of the Hu family, who had not spoken, lit up, and he couldn't help but start looking at this young man.

"Yes, the Chamber of Commerce, I will do my best to improve the status of those who participate in the Chamber of Commerce, for example, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, I will ask the court to give them knighthoods or idle positions, and the backbone members will also get different degrees of knighthood, of course, this is corresponding to the degree of everyone's contribution." After Zhu Hao finished speaking, he took a sip of tea from the water cup and looked at them with a smile.

For a while, several people discussed, the temptation of this knighthood is very big for these merchants, the Ming Dynasty heavy agriculture suppressed businessmen, the status of merchants was very low, and they were not even allowed to wear silk, although businessmen held the country's greatest wealth, their political status was ranked last, which was seriously inconsistent with their economic strength, therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, businessmen were usually indifferent to state affairs.

Zhu Hao lost no time in throwing this bait, which immediately aroused everyone's interest, these people have nothing else but money, many people spend countless money just to seek fame and glory to their ancestors, Zhu Hao's bait is really very tempting.

"Don't underestimate the organization of the Chamber of Commerce, when the Chamber of Commerce is perfected and matured in the future, its role will be even greater, and it can even participate in government affairs. Of course, the premise is that everyone has to fully support me. Zhu Hao saw that everyone was still discussing, and lost no time in throwing out another bait.

"Shhh You can participate in government affairs! This temptation was even greater, and even the representative of the Wang family, who had always had an indifferent expression, showed a look of surprise.

"Is this really true? What guarantees do you take? "It's still the old fox of the Ma family who puts forward the key point.

"I have an agreement and a business charter in my hand, you see, it is clearly written, if you agree and sign it, how about we each have a copy as a guarantee?" Zhu Hao had already prepared and distributed a stack of written agreements to everyone.

"Everyone knows the agreement, but everyone must take a good look at this charter, I compiled it, called the Xuhuai District Commercial Regulations, and the content in it is more systematic."

The so-called commercial regulations were formulated by Zhu Hao in imitation of the future commercial law, and the degree of perfection is of course incomparable, but it is still reliable now, mainly because of some norms for businessmen and so on.

Several people have no opinion on this regulation, after all, the above list is illegal, and they dare not do it. The agreement is also written in detail, with Zhu Hao's signature and fingerprint on it.

Everyone discussed for a while, and looked at the head of the Wang family, Zhu Hao had actually seen that although the old man Ma had been asking questions, in terms of the aura of the head of the Wang family, he was the leader of these eight people.

The head of the Wang family is called Wang Jingwen, about forty years old, with a shrewd and capable face.

I saw Wang Jingwen put down the agreement in his hand and said noncommittally: "I heard that the marshal is also from the family of the big businessman, and the marshal is not only good at leading troops, but also very talented in business. ”

It seems that this Wang Jingwen is not an easy person to deal with, since he said so, he understands his own affairs very clearly.

Zhu Hao said lightly: "Mr. Wang said this, he must have done his homework in advance, let's say, do you want Ben Shuai to shake out his secrets?" ”

"Don't dare, I'm just interested, and I don't mean to take your family's secrets." Wang Jingwen was also taken aback when he saw that he was talking very seriously, and he was a little not calm, taking other people's trade secrets is a major matter of moral corruption. The rest were also embarrassed.

"Haha, how can I, Zhu Hao, be a person who hides his secrets? As long as you can be in the same boat with me, how can I give up these gadgets? Zhu Hao laughed.

"There are only three things that I can see here that the gentlemen can see, one of which is the method of making matches; second, business philosophy; Its third flow operation. This assembly line operation is no secret, I think everyone already knows, I will send someone to teach you the method of matches later, but this business philosophy will not be clear for a while, and we will discuss it slowly. To tell you the truth, you are all the enlightened gentlemen I have listed, and I can't do without your support if I want to reverse the decline of the country! Zhu Hao said sincerely.

Wang Jingwen and others were also a little moved, Wang Jingwen said: "The handsome man is so public-minded, I am too ignorant of current affairs if I want to resign, I signed this agreement!" After speaking, he took a pen, danced on the paper, and pressed the handprint. The rest of the people hesitated for a moment, and they also signed and signed one after another.

Seeing that everyone was taken down, Zhu Hao was in a good mood and continued to fire sugar-coated shells: "In addition, I want to set up some government-run workshops, specializing in the production of foreign trade commodities, exported to Japan and North Korea, in exchange for silver, but I have limited financial resources, so I want to raise funds from the private sector, the first choice is you, I call this way as equity participation, and dividends are distributed according to shares and profits every year, please rest assured, I Zhu Hao will never disappoint everyone." ”

Zhu Hao took out the rhetoric of the joint-stock company in later generations, and even dizzy and confused several people's hearts were moved: Zhu Hao represents the official and military, he can ensure safety, overseas trade is a million profits, and the share capital can be recovered in five years at most.

In the end, Wang Jingwen took the lead in investing 500,000 taels of silver, and others also invested in the shares, and finally Zhu Hao counted 3 million silver, and announced the formal planning to establish Xuzhou Commercial Corporation to actively develop overseas trade.

After sending everyone away, Zhu Hao just wanted to rest, and suddenly the doorman reported that the head of the Wang family had returned, Zhu Hao was a little curious, so he came out to meet the guests.

"I wonder if Mr. Wang is looking for me?"

"Oh, I want to have a casual chat with Dashuai. Dashuai, do you know the origin of my Wang family? Wang Jingwen said.

"I don't know much." Zhu Hao said honestly, I don't know what he thinks.

"To tell you the truth, Zai Xia is not the current head of the Wang family, his father Wang Bonian is still in Huizhou, and Jianghuai is just a branch of us."

It turned out to be a Hui merchant! Zhu Hao suddenly realized that he was famous after the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially the Wang family, whose business spread all over the country, and could be described as a wealthy family. The Wang family has many talents, Wang Daokun, the military servant of the Jiajing Dynasty, and Wang Shishen, a famous painter of the Qing Dynasty, are the children of the Wang family.

"It turned out to be a descendant of Bo Yugong, disrespectful and disrespectful." Zhu Hao said politely.

"The handsome is polite, although my Wang family is not left behind in business, but unfortunately there is no one since the ancestor of Boyu, and the lintel is gradually declining." Wang Jingwen sighed.

When Zhu Hao heard this, he had a general number, and it turned out that he had a political purpose.

"Does Mr. mean that I want to recommend the children of the Wang family to the court?" Zhu Hao said bluntly.

"No, no, the marshal misunderstood, my Wang family's children are not allowed to enter the court, this is the ancestor's last instruction, the court is deep, after all, it is not as good as doing business as much as it should be." Wang Jingwen hurriedly explained.

"What do you mean by that gentleman looking for me?" Zhu Hao was even more puzzled.

"What the handsome governor Xu Huai did at the beginning, my father noticed it, and the handsome will have a bright future in the future, and my father also instructed me to deliberately make friends, especially the sister who also admires the handsome!" Speaking of which, Wang Jingwen looked at Zhu Hao a little ambiguously.

Seeing that he was a little stunned, Wang Jingwen smiled and said: "Let me say it bluntly, my sister hopes to marry Qin and Jin with the handsome, of course, she also has the consent of her father." ”

"Flutter" Zhu Hao squirted out the tea that he hadn't had time to swallow yet! What is this called, and there are forced marriages?

"I also know that this thing is too abrupt, so I don't know how to talk about it, hehe!" Wang Jingwen said in a sneering manner.

It turned out that Wang Jingwen's sister was named Wang Suxian, and the old man of the Wang family, Wang Bonian, got this young daughter in middle age, and he was quite pampered, which made this Wang Suxian develop the habit of seeing above the top, and he was still out of the cabinet in his twenties. Therefore, Wang Bonian sent his eldest son to Xuzhou to explore Zhu Hao's reality.

Zhu Hao also wondered, he had never met this Wang Suxian, why did people take a fancy to him?

"Eh, this Mr. Wang, thanks to Sister Ling's love, Ben Shuai didn't dare to refuse, but you also know that Ben Shuai already has two wives, I'm afraid Sister Ling ......"

"Alas, this housemate also knows, but she said that even if she is a concubine, she will not marry!" Wang Jingwen said helplessly.

Zhu Hao stared at Wang Jingwen's flickering gaze, and suddenly felt in his heart: Although this Wang Suxian is voluntary, I'm afraid it is still your Wang father and son who strongly agree, right? Use marriage as a bargaining chip to support me financially! However, this matter is not a loss, it can be described as a gain of both people and money, but I don't know what this Wang Suxian looks like, and I am a little embarrassed.

"In that case, Ben Shuai is embarrassed to refuse Mr.'s kindness, but I have to go back and ask my wife about this."

"It should be, it should be! In this case, I won't bother in the next, if the marriage can be completed, my Wang family will be the head of the handsome horse! When Wang Jingwen heard Zhu Hao's relief, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, accidentally exposing his true heart.
