Zhou Boxian felt that he had really poured water into his brain before, so he would allow his third brother Zhou Shuxian to secretly fund Zhang Liang's actions. He believes that no matter how strong Fang Jun is, he will not ignore the stability of Jiangnan and make a big move against the Zhou family. As long as he loses some benefits afterwards and obtains Fang Jun's forgiveness, he can not only repay Zhang Liang's past kindness and make the Zhou family's reputation better, make Zhang Liang grateful to Dade, but also take the opportunity to catch Fang Jun's line, after all, even if they paid a lot of money in the auction of Yantian shares in the past, the Zhou family is still outside Fang Jun's inner circle.

Facts have proved that Zhou Boxian's calculations are not at all good.

Now that the outside world mentions the Zhou family, who doesn't give a thumbs up and praise a word of benevolence and righteousness? would rather risk offending Fang Jun than repay Zhang Liang's kindness, and his character is invincible. And now, even if he bows down and admits his mistakes in the face of Fang Jun's interests, who can hack the Zhou family?

Those who know the times are Junjie, do the Zhou family's little arms and legs have to be twisted with Fang Jun to be called heroes?

There is no criticism, only sympathy.

So Zhou Boxian felt that he had calculated well and killed two birds with one stone.

However, now he realized how stupid it was to be so torn between Fang Jun and Zhang Liang......

In the past, he was just afraid of Fang Jun's unscrupulous style of acting and the power he held, and he had a sense of helplessness that he was reluctant to be small, thinking that if Fang Jun was weak one day, he would immediately draw a clear line, and even not resist doing some tricks at all.

But now he really saw Fang Jun's energy.

The young man is ambitious, the family background is illustrious, Jane is in the emperor's heart, and the ability is outstanding...... The most important thing is that this person has a good name! Don't think that the officialdom is full of the children of the major families, so you don't take the people's shouts in your eyes. The bureaucrats and literati of this era were almost pathologically concerned about their reputation, and even if they were poor and destitute, they did not want to leave the slightest flaw in the history books......

The reputation of benevolence, righteousness and love for the people has made Fang Jun have an unparalleled reputation.

Such a minister, even if he makes a mistake in the court, he will not be favored by the emperor, and if he wants to deal with him, he must consider the reaction of the people, otherwise he is likely to suffer such an unbearable reputation as Emperor Yang of Sui, and be accused of being a "faint king" or "traitor", and will be scolded by all the people and spurned by all generations!

This is Fang Jun's capital!

With such capital, Fang Jun's future can be encapsulated by more than just the words "bright future".

Not surprisingly, this will be the future generation of Datang!

As long as Fang Jun's friendship and recognition can be obtained, the Yangxian Zhou family will definitely get unparalleled resources, and the revival of the family is just around the corner! But now? He actually played a clever trick and wanted to be left and right, once Fang Jun saw through the tricks......

Looking at the backs of Fang Jun and Sun Chengen walking out, Zhou Boxian was secretly worried and hurriedly followed.

This is a thigh, and the Zhou family has to hold it firmly, even if it is to give him the most outstanding woman in the clan as a plaything, he will not hesitate to ......

*****

The light rain was already pouring down, and the sky was gloomy and gloomy.

The whole Huating Town is like a pot of boiling water, from time to time there are merchant ships, painting boats and other ships docked on the wharf, one by one people in brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes are surrounded by servants and maids to go to the Yamen of the City Shipping Division.

Some of the small merchants who came here early were dizzying, and they were inexplicably excited to see the large cultural relics that could only be heard of in legends one after another.

Xiao family, Wang family, Lu family, Xie family, Yuan family, Shen family, Zhu family...... None of these top families in Jiangnan have a huge shop industry under their names, but everyone knows that more than ninety percent of the businesses in Jiangnan are indirectly under their control!

These people hold the bull's ears of Jiangnan business and gather together in Huating Town, which will inevitably have an incalculable impact on the future business map of Jiangnan!

The architectural characteristics of the Yamen of the City Bo Division can be said to surpass the form of China since ancient times, the hall of the Roman architectural style constructed by the reinforced concrete is spacious and bright, there is no splendid splendor, there is no carved beams and paintings, there is no magnificence, there are only two words of atmosphere!

Hundreds of people gathered together, and the three-meter-high glass windows around the hall made the entire spacious and tall hall feel the slightest shade even on rainy days, and the echoes of people's voices hummed.

As a group of city officials led by Fang Jun walked in through the side door at the back, the hall instantly fell silent.

Fang Jun sat in the main seat in the center, and the officials sat on the left and right.

Looking around with a smile on his face, Fang Jun smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's event will surely become a strong stroke in the history books, and we will gather here to create an unprecedented business pattern!" In a few years, today's participants will be remembered by generations to come, remember the changes we have made today, and remember our contribution to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. ”

The audience was stunned for a while, and then there was a discussion of "boom".

This high-profile one, no one will accept it, just serve you in room two!

Nima, tax collection can be so just, can the second dead house still have a face?

Yes, your name must have been passed down through the ages, and there has been no precedent for the imperial court to control commerce since ancient times, but when you come here, you have to pay an extra tax, and the treasury will be full because of you, and you have a great credit!

……

This kind of thinking is strange, but there is one thing in common, they all silently greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Fang family......

All maritime trade must go through the city, otherwise it is smuggling, which is simply the most arrogant and unreasonable policy in history! My family is doing business, as long as all kinds of taxes are paid, you don't care where my goods go to sea from and where they go ashore?

It's tyranny!

It is a pity that Fang Jun's tax policy has been agreed by His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall to be implemented in Huating Town. This has risen to the level of a national policy, and no matter how much dissatisfaction there is, it must be carried out according to the rules, otherwise it will be a great crime.

As long as you don't want to rebel, you have to honestly admit it......

"Buckle Buckle"

Fang Jun knocked on the table, and all the discussion came to an abrupt end, and the hall fell silent again.

"Envoy Pei, let's announce the charter to everyone." Fang Jun leaned back in his chair and waved his hand to Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian straightened his waist and glanced around at all the wealthy businessmen and giants in the south of the Yangtze River, who were actually the children or spokespersons of major families.

"Any businessman who wants to operate sea trade must register a shop in Huating Town, indicate the business scope and the amount of capital contribution, and pay a deposit according to the business scope, and issue a business license after obtaining the permission of the city shipping department, so that he can have the right to sea trade. Otherwise, it will be regarded as smuggling, and the imperial court will crack down hard and severely punish ......"

"Boom!"

He lowered his voice and began to talk again.

Having learned the lessons of the last auction of Yantian's shares, he raised countless arms in an instant, which is a question that he wants to consult.

Pei Xingjian waved his hand and said loudly: "Silence! ”

The discussion in the audience stagnated for a while, and then he pointed to Zhou Boxian in the front row with his hand, and asked with a smile: "Zhou Shibo, do you have any questions?" ”

This one gave Fang Jun a lot of benefits, and obviously he was already standing with Fang Jun, that is, his own people, so he naturally had to show his face to his own people and increase his influence by the way.

Pei Xingjian has a handsome face and a lovely smile, and he is too young to speak, at this moment, many children of the family in the audience are heartbroken, should he suggest to the family that this outstanding son of the Pei family in Hedong be snare into his camp?

This is a rising star above the officialdom, not only Fang Jun's absolute henchman, but also reused by Fang Jun, first as the long history of Huating Town, and now as the city envoy, he is also registered in front of His Majesty the Emperor!

As long as the business of the city is not too bad, it will be properly favored by the emperor, and the future prospects are simply limitless with such a young family background and such a good family......

Zhou Boxian stood up, first hugged his fist at Fang Jun and saluted, and then asked Pei Xingjian: "Just now, Pei Shi's envoy said that merchants who are interested in operating maritime trade need to register, I don't know why?" Also, what did you mention about paying a security deposit? What is the amount of this margin? I also asked Pei Shi's envoy to solve the confusion of the old decay. ”
