Chapter III Chamber of Commerce
Ji Kang underestimated the appeal of noodles and tofu to people in this era.
Wait until the old manager Ji Mao presented the recipe and manufacturing process of noodles and tofu to Ji Kang's grandfather, that is, King Wucheng. After receiving food and praise from King Wucheng, the entire palace of Jigong was attacked by these novel foods.
And Ji Kang, a name that has been almost forgotten by many people in the palace, has returned to people's field of vision.
The fragrant soy milk has become the most popular drink in the palace of Jigong.
The tender soy milk has become the new porridge that people in Jigong Palace love the most.
Not to mention the chewy noodles, round steamed buns, and smooth tofu have become the staple foods of every meal in the palace houses of Jigong, and even the crispy bean sprouts and the by-products of tofu have become the most popular dishes in the entire Jigong Palace.
By the way, the iron pots and grinding plates required to make various seasonings such as ginger, green onions, garlic, and peppercorns have also become essential items in the dining rooms of the Thistle Palace.
Over the years, the remote palace where Ji Zhao and Ji Kang lived has also changed from the past to be deserted and began to be full of people, and Ji Mao, the chief of the inner chamberlain, and all the chamberlains and palace maids in the courtyard are also very busy, tasting pain and happiness at the same time. The pain has never been so busy, tired! Happiness is the treasure in the bag that has grown a lot.
And what her mother Ji Zhao was looking forward to, the crown prince of Yan Kingdom, who was also her husband, still did not come to visit her and her son. I just sent someone over and took away the latest recipes and manufacturing processes for wheat and soy food.
Looking at his mother, who was depressed in her twenties, and then looked at his little arms and legs, Ji Kang said that he was also powerless. It's rare for a person to meet a few times a year, what can you do?
I had to hold Wangcai and perform a few shows in front of my mother, such as dogs chasing cloth balls, jumping and eating, plus making Wangcai stand, rolling on the ground, shaking hands and other cuteness, so that my mother had a few smiles on her face. Of course, the scolding of the "scumbag" in my heart is also essential.
Taking advantage of the trend of pasta and soy products spreading from the Ji Palace to the outside of the palace, the "business plan" planned by Ji Kang and the old housekeeper Ji Mao also unfolded vigorously.
"Uncle Ji, tomorrow's gathering of the merchants is arranged?"
"Childe Qiyu, it's all arranged."
"The agenda and content have been discussed, right?"
"Gongzi Mingjian, I have discussed it with the six major chambers of commerce."
"That's good, Uncle Ji has worked hard."
"Childe, the old slave is not hard. It's just that what the old slave doesn't understand is that the new recipes and processes of wheat and soy food are now only owned by Gongzi in the whole world, so why should they be shared with other merchants? ”
"Uncle Ji, what are the main food crops in my Yan country today?"
"Childe, of course, millet and millet are the mainstays, supplemented by wheat, beans, dates, etc."
"Jibo, is there a large yield of millet and millet, or is there a large yield of wheat and beans?"
"Childe, the old slave is also from a peasant family, so he naturally knows that the yield of wheat and beans is greater than that of millet and millet. However, because the taste of the food is extremely poor, it is not recognized by the people. ”
"Uncle Ji, if I can let the people of Yan Kingdom eat wheat and bean food processed with our new technology, can the people accept it?"
"Ahh Of course it is acceptable, but what does this have to do with the merchant? ”
"Uncle Ji, boy, how can we make the wheat food and bean food made by the new technology be accepted by the people of my Yan country as quickly as possible and benefit the people of my Yan country?"
"Ahh I understand that Childe wants to benefit merchants and let them spread new wheat and soy food. After all, with the speed of spreading, it is none other than the business. But in doing so, the loss of the son is not small. ”
"Uncle Ji, I, Ji Kang, am the son of Yan Kingdom, my clothes are woven by the people of Yan Kingdom, food is planted by the people of Yan Kingdom, and my residence is built by the people of Yan Kingdom. I can do something for the people of Yan Kingdom, isn't this how it should be! ”
The old manager Ji Mao took a deep breath, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
I bowed deeply to the little man standing on the rockery, shrouded by the setting sun, and his whole body seemed to emit golden light:
"Childe is righteous. This is really a blessing for the people of Yan Kingdom. ”
And Ji Kang, the son, looked at the old manager who was excited and had red circles in his eyes, but he silently read in his heart:
"Boss, how can you know how powerful it is to set up a monopoly chamber of commerce!"
"Childe, do you have any other instructions for tomorrow's gathering of merchants?"
"Uncle Ji, I've already said everything I need to say, you just need to do these things. The first name must be loud and carry the word Chamber of Commerce, such as the Dayan Kingdom Wheat Bean Grain Chamber of Commerce. ”
"The second chamber of commerce will focus on actively promoting new wheat and soy food new crafts. We will not consider other business activities for the time being. ”
"The shares held by the members of the Third Chamber of Commerce: We take shares in new wheat and soy food formulas and new processes, accounting for 20% to 30% of the shares of the Chamber of Commerce, which after all, we have exclusive rights; The remaining shares will be discussed by other businesses, but it must be ensured that the shares of small and medium-sized businesses cannot be less than 40%. ”
"Fourth, the shares held by each merchant can be bought and sold freely, but they must be notified to the Chamber of Commerce first, and they must be purchased by other merchants of the Chamber of Commerce first."
"Fifth, there is a president and eight vice presidents to jointly handle the operation of the chamber of commerce. But the president must be appointed by me, and this is also to ensure the dignity of the royal family; The vice president allows other businesses to agree, but it is necessary to ensure that there are two vice presidents of small and medium-sized chambers of commerce. ”
"Uncle Ji! You just have to grasp the above points. Also, if all of the above articles of association are passed, you will designate the chairman of the board of directors to the business candidates who are supported by the Xiangguo Gongsun family on my behalf, and we need the support of Xiangguo Gongsun Cao now. We just need to get the benefits we deserve. ”
"Childe, the old slave understands."
In 266 BC, the third day of the 11th lunar month.
In the largest restaurant in Yan Country - Mingyue Building. The first commercial convention, which later historians called the beginning of a new era of commerce, was held.
As the representative of Gongzi Ji Kang, the old manager Ji Mao, together with the representatives of the major merchants and small and medium-sized businesses in Jidu and the forces supported behind them, jointly completed the relevant articles of the conference in a friendly atmosphere and tacit understanding.
The final result agreed upon at the meeting was passed to Ji Kang's hands as quickly as possible by the old manager. And according to everyone's unanimous proposal, on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, Gongzi Ji Kang was invited to participate in the listing ceremony.
Looking at the constitution of the Chamber of Commerce, which was drafted by itself and unexpectedly recognized by everyone.
Ji Kang believes that this is the first achievement he has made since he came into this world.
"Shi Kang, you see that the content of the Chamber of Commerce has been formulated exactly according to my intentions, is this son excellent?"
"Childe, if you don't pay a knife, you will account for 30% of the shares, of course it is excellent. Childe, in this way, we can let these merchants help us make money for nothing. ”
"Shi dare! It's not like we didn't pay for nothing, we also paid a lot. ”
"Oh, Childe, what have we paid?"
"Shi Kang, we have paid wisdom and knowledge. It also paid the naming rights of the Dayan royal family! ”
"Shi Kang, I know that you came to the palace because of the difficulties in your family's life, and this is also the fate of you and me."
Speaking of this, Ji Kang paused, looked at Shi Kang, whose eyes were red, and patted him on the shoulder.
"The reason why you learn more knowledge is because knowledge can make you wise, and knowledge can change people's destiny. You see, we have used what we have learned to improve the wheat and pasta processes, creating wealth not only for ourselves but also for others. This is the example of knowledge. ”
"You are by Childe's side, I have no other requirements, I just hope that you can study hard, and our master and servant can work together to the end."
"Childe, Shi Dang will study hard. I want to grow up quickly and help my son do more things. ”
Looking at Shi Dang's big eyes, looking at his adoring little face. Thinking that the Chamber of Commerce was finally established according to his own ideas, Xiao Jikang couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
suddenly remembered the scene of being happy and proud in many film and television dramas in his previous life.
stretched out his little neck, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Okay, all the heroes in the world are in my hands!" ", happened to be seen by Ji Zhao, the mother who came to arrange for Ji Kang to go to the meeting.
What does it mean to be happy and sad, Ji Kang finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
As Ji Zhao, who has received the strictest royal education since childhood, Ji Kang's performance at this time is completely unsatisfactory, and his attitude at this time should be calm.
In order to warn Ji Kang not to get so carried away.
Ji Zhao asked the maid Qingzhu to bring the ring ruler, and asked Ji Kang to stretch out his fat left hand and hit it three times hard, making it fatter. Looking at his son's sighing and depressed little face, Ji Zhao warned Ji Kangdao:
"Son! You still have a long way to go, remember today's commandment, and you should always be cautious and not get carried away. ”
This is the first time that Ji Kang has been subjected to his mother's ring ruler since he came to this world.
On the sixth day of the first month of November, the auspicious day of the zodiac, it is advisable to break ground and start work, and everything will go smoothly.
On this day, the people of Jidu ran over to see the excitement when they heard the noise of gongs and drums on Xuanwu Street. Found a large shop on the street in front of the door, hanging a large wooden sign, with gilt writing on it "Dayan Kingdom Maidou Grain Chamber of Commerce" several big characters.
How many years have passed, and many people are chasing the great emperor and struggling in the footsteps of those years. I accidentally discovered that the beginning of the emperor's conquest of this world was not in Liaodi. But on Xuanwu Street in Jidu, this ordinary chamber of commerce has begun. And the emperor at that time was not yet six years old.
