The half-month autumn market finally came to an end in endless excitement and jubilation, and at the same time, a news spread from the court on the last day of the festival.

Next year, Xianyang will cancel this mixed spring and autumn market, and replace it with a bulk commodity wholesale fair in the spring and an international commodity fair in the autumn.

While this news made many businessmen sad, many wealthy businessmen began to inquire about more specific details, and many Hu merchants in the Western Regions of the Eastern Hu Xiongnu Yue Clan were also at a loss, not knowing how to participate in next year's rally.

Soon after this news came out, the court had a detailed edict sent to the Department of Commerce, many business leaders and Hu merchant envoys went to inquire, and then got the imperial court will change the current spring and autumn market in Xianyang into some professional markets, respectively in different counties and counties, and solicit the opinions of merchants from all over the country, which made many businessmen overjoyed, and rushed to tell each other, once a professional market is formed, everyone gets together to trade can be much better than such a messy gathering together, and there is no need to go all the way to Xianyang to squeeze.

However, while many businessmen were cheering at the news, many thoughtful businessmen and some business leaders who were usually well-regarded were a little anxious.

How big is Great Qin, and now it has to count Lingnan and the three vassal states and dozens of states in the Western Regions, but what kind of categories should these professional bazaars be opened, and where is the best and most suitable place to open?

For this reason, many merchants who deal in similar goods began to gather together, and more wealthy merchants took over the entire Quyuan teahouse, and called friends to discuss the countermeasures of next year's professional market.

But a whole day passed, the merchants from all over the country were still noisy, and the lights of the Quyuan Miscellaneous House were also all night long, and countless gorgeously dressed and pot-bellied merchants gathered together to make noise, blushing and spitting on each other, and people in different places even turned on the regional attack mode, anyway, these professional markets are best opened in their own counties.

For example, wool goods, almost second only to grain and salt cloth commodity categories, most of the merchants from the northwest and other places are engaged in Hun Hu and Yueshi and other places of leather goods, so some to open the wool goods market in Liaodong, some to open in Yuyang, some to open in Shangjun Yanmen, some to open in the northwest of Longxi, etc., in short, under the quarrel which place is not satisfied, after a night of noisy, some people simply give up, think that it is better to write to His Majesty, still imitate the Spring and Autumn Market in Xianyang.

It is definitely not possible to continue to open such a super-large grocery store market in Xianyang, this is something that Chen Xu strives to avoid, and this kind of quarrel among the people was quickly passed on to the government of the Commerce Department and even other yamen through some business leaders and well-informed people, until Xiyuehou also felt that the matter could not be calmed down if the matter continued to quarrel, so he could only run to the Qinghe Marquis Mansion for help.

The matter is simple, the Department of Commerce posted a notice in the gathering place of the merchants, calling on these businessmen to set up their own different types of alliance chambers of commerce, these chambers of commerce elected a president, two vice presidents as representatives of the business community to communicate with the Department of Commerce, and Xiyue Hou to tell them that these professional markets are not necessarily opened, but to see the number of merchants who have reached an agreement with each chamber of commerce, a professional market can not be less than three hundred merchants to participate in at least, and the imperial court must ensure that it cannot spend huge publicity expenses and countless manpower and material resources to prepareIn the end, the market will not be closed, which will not only cause losses to the local area, but also disappoint the people who go to the market to shop......"

"Master Hou, I also understand a little bit about what you said, but I'm afraid that the operation will not satisfy these businessmen, or you will help me come forward this time to suppress the position!" Kang Qi looked at Chen Xu anxiously and expectantly.

He is the chief official of the Department of Commerce, but it is too complicated for him to prepare so many large-scale professional bazaars, and the conditions in Daqin are complicated, and he is not a foreigner who does not know much, not to mention that the tens of thousands of businessmen who stayed in Xianyang this time are almost all businessmen with good strength in the country, otherwise they would not be able to organize a caravan to run thousands of miles to Xianyang, to promote the professional bazaar to the whole country, this is the emperor's edict clearly issued by the court, no one can be sloppy, and this matter must be done smoothly, so that the world's businessmen are satisfied, I'm afraid that only the initiator Qinghehou can handle it.

"Well, it's okay, this matter is indeed a bit complicated, you go back first and do what Ben Hou just said, let these businessmen set up the Chamber of Commerce first, elect the president and vice president and other representatives, and tomorrow Ben Hou will convene them at the Qinghe Theater to hold a meeting to discuss together!" Chen Xu nodded and agreed.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you Prime Minister Zuo, the next official will do it!" Kang begged for his gratitude and left in a hurry.

Half an hour later, as a group of forbidden troops rode out of the Commerce Bureau, they soon posted a notice from the Commerce Department in conspicuous locations such as Quyuan Miscellaneous Houses where merchants gathered and Xianyang bus stops with dense crowds, allowing businessmen dealing in similar goods to form their own alliances and chambers of commerce, and elect one or three respected leaders as representatives to participate in the professional market seminar held by the Qinghe Marquis at the Qinghe Theater tomorrow, and the number and scale of merchants who need to be reached to hold a professional market are also clearly stated below the notice. If there were not enough merchants to join the conference, the imperial court would not support the opening of professional bazaars.

As soon as this announcement came out, the noisy businessmen instantly fell silent.

As businessmen, they are born for profit, they can quarrel for their own interests, but they will never give up the opportunity to make money, let alone give up this golden opportunity given to them by the court.

Therefore, although everyone is noisy and blushing, not many people are willing to give up participating in the preparation of the market, after all, once the market is opened, they can grasp many of the initiative in the industry in the future, and giving up is equivalent to shutting themselves out.

In particular, this so-called chamber of commerce, let all the businessmen see a new business model, this chamber of commerce from the simple composition of the notice, has some similar rights of the shareholders of the firm, in the future various industries may need to communicate with the court representatives, this is a semi-official nature of the business group, once joined, may also be able to get the protection of the court.

The idea of a businessman is not necessarily Chen Xu's idea, but the Chamber of Commerce does have his advantages, at least the Chamber of Commerce can unify the merchants who deal in similar goods all over the country, so as not to completely grasp the beard and eyebrows as it is now, as for whether the Chamber of Commerce will slowly form a kind of industry monopoly bureaucracy, these need to be slowly regulated and guided by laws and regulations and self-discipline agreements of industry associations in the future.

In order to meet the conditions for the imperial court to open a professional market, the business peers from all over the country also continued to compromise with each other, and in the battle game, the president of the chamber of commerce who thought that he could express his voice on his behalf.

After the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, soon there were presidents and vice presidents with the Chamber of Commerce signed and signed by the Chamber of Commerce to the Department of Commerce for the record, according to the notice, these chambers of commerce that have met the requirements of the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow can participate in the Qinghe Hou professional market seminar, even if the people are not together, forget it, because at present, almost most of the wealthy businessmen in the country are gathered in Xianyang City, and the scale of tens of thousands of stalls is enough to be proud of any market on the whole earth and even most of the states.

The next morning, Qinghe Park inside and outside the crowd of people, in and out are all richly dressed businessmen, more than 10 officials of the Department of Commerce are busy in the park responsible for reception, at the end of the hour, with the direction of the palace came a few melodious bronze bell sounds, Qinghe Hou's four-wheel drive carriage also kicked and tapped, soon into Qinghe Park.

Under the cheers of countless businessmen, Qinghe Hou got out of the car and greeted everyone before entering the Qinghe Theater.

In the theater, Xiyuehou had already arranged the preparations for the meeting according to Chen Xu's requirements.

The presidents and vice presidents of more than 10 chambers of commerce, some business leaders who were temporarily invited, including officials from six ministries of the three provinces, the director of Huaxia Qianzhuang, the director of the Finance Bureau, Yang Kun of the Central Qianzhuang, Chen Ping, the general secretary of Daqin Metropolis Daily, and some reporters, all of whom attended the meeting added up to nearly 200 people, and all of them were elites related to business development.

After another greeting, Chen Xu walked to the center of the stage, flipped through a stack of chamber of commerce record books on the wooden table, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Yes, the speed is very fast, now the economic development of Daqin is changing with each passing day, and the various commercial reforms implemented by Benhou have also received strong support from all businessmen, from this year's spring market to the current autumn market, whether the scale and number of participants, or the variety and quantity of goods have increased tenfold, you have traveled thousands of miles to Xianyang to participate in the market, It can be seen that everyone is very enthusiastic and enthusiastic, and wants to sell their goods further, want to sell more of their goods, and want to know more business information and meet more business colleagues......"

Chen Xu spent nearly half an hour explaining in detail the original intention of opening the bazaar, the current situation, and his various understandings and thoughts about the bazaar.

Although everyone knows what Chen Xu said, everyone still listens very carefully, because everyone knows that this bazaar in Xianyang was originally proposed by Qinghehou to prepare, and all the businessmen are the beneficiaries of it.

"But the so-called single flower is not spring, thousands of purples and thousands of red spring gardens, scattered to the country to open professional bazaars in different industries, which can not only make these bazaars more effective, but also can promote the development of the local economy, you are all business elites, on behalf of hundreds of thousands of businessmen in my Daqin, now the establishment of their respective alliances and chambers of commerce, need to cooperate with the imperial court and local governments to manage their respective industries, but also to be strict self-discipline, to do a fair and just handling of the affairs of their respective industries, and to coordinate the contradictions between peers, The purpose of the Chamber of Commerce is to serve all peers and provide help within its ability, rather than setting industry thresholds and meddling in business development...... Ben Hou will promote the establishment of an exclusive bill to manage the Chamber of Commerce in the future, so as to regulate the development of the Chamber of Commerce, but you don't need to be nervous, the future development of the Chamber of Commerce is promising, and it will become a huge driving force for the prosperity of our Daqin......

Chen Xu's speech added up to an hour, after which the theater resounded with long-lasting warm applause, and then representatives of different chambers of commerce also took the stage to read out some of the ideas and articles of association of their associations, expressing their gratitude and support to the imperial court for holding these professional fairs.

The bustling seminar lasted until the end of noon, and then the participants gathered at the Qinghe Hotel for an unprecedented celebration banquet to celebrate the success of the seminar.
