Chapter 1053 Bazaar Management Committee

"Left Phase...... Qinghe Hou ......, "The CRRC Mansion Ling Su Yue, who was standing next to him, gently poked Chen Xu with his fingers.

"Oh~" Chen Xu came to his senses instantly, "What did the Su Mansion Order call me?" ”

"Feng Xiangfang just praised you?" Su Yue licked his face and said with a smile cautiously.

Chen Xu found that a circle of people were looking at him directly, and hurriedly said to a group of people: "Rude and rude, I didn't sleep well yesterday, Xu lost his temper, I don't know what Feng Xiang is praising me?" ”

"Aiqing has really worked hard recently, not only to arrange the autumn market fair, but also to have a happy daughter yesterday, and to accompany me to watch the lantern parade at night, it is inevitable to sleep restlessly and lose consciousness, just Feng Xiang praised Aiqing for arranging this autumn market in a proper and orderly manner, it is not easy!" Qin Shi Huang smiled and comforted.

Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and waved his hand and said: "Feng Xiangbai praised, Xu deserves it, the organization and arrangement of this autumn market is not the credit of me alone, but the efforts of the three provinces and six ministries, the Internal History Mansion, the Lieutenant's Mansion, Xianyang and business colleagues from all over the country will make this event so orderly!" ”

"Why should Aiqing be modest, these tens of thousands of businessmen and hundreds of thousands of civilians gather in one place, the scale is comparable to a big war, and because they can't be subordinate to each other and have no military orders, it's like a plate of scattered sand, so if you want to arrange it in such an orderly manner, it must not be as easy as Aiqing said." Qin Shi Huang said with emotion.

"The minister is ashamed, the merchant and the civilians are not soldiers, although there are many people, they are cowardly, and the battlefield battle is still far away, but this time in order to keep the autumn market from being too chaotic, the minister did make some careful arrangements, and the bazaar management committee is the key!"

"Now that I have some leisure, why don't you carefully say that I will learn a thing or two later, and in the future, this management method can also be spread to counties and counties across the country, so that local officials can also easily manage the markets in various places......" The household department Ling Gao Teng gave up his hand with an open face.

"Yes, right now, I'm waiting for the city tower to watch the scenery, and I'm idle, it's rare to have such a leisurely mood when there are too many official affairs in the court on weekdays, please don't hide your secrets!"

A group of princes and princes and the heads of the six ministries of the three provinces all spoke together.

Chen Xu nodded helplessly and said: "Okay, then Xu will talk about the key to this, in fact, it is not complicated, one sentence can be summarized as classified deployment and overall management, the Spring and Autumn Bazaar is huge, and there are many businessmen involved, so the minister imitates the planning of Keju Commercial Building, first divides it into several trading areas according to the variety of goods, such as daily necessities area, such as food area, such as leather goods area, such as silk cloth area, etc., and then puts its high-value luxury items in the core of the square. In this way, the merchants and the people can find their respective areas according to different prompts, and to properly manage these merchants and stalls, the minister and Feng Xiangmeng discussed the special formation of the bazaar management committee, this management committee is the core of the operation of this huge bazaar, from the registration of merchants, booth leasing, commercial tax collection, dispute mediation, contract signing, transaction guarantee, cargo security, etc., to provide one-stop service for the merchants who come to participate in the bazaar, so as to solve the worries of all merchants, The minister mobilized more than ten offices such as Zhongshu Province, Supervision Province, Ministry of Households, Finance Bureau, Trade Bureau, Shaofu, Lieutenant's Office, Neishi Mansion, Huaxia Qianzhuang and other more than ten bureaus to form a temporary yamen, which is the management committee, and set up a comprehensive management office, in the row of wooden sheds between Keju Square and the riverside garden, to coordinate and manage anything that happens during the autumn market fair, and let the management committee office to comprehensively coordinate all departments to deal with it, so as to reduce the unnecessary travel and trouble of businessmen......"

Chen Xu said the general management methods of some commodity fairs or various exhibitions that he had heard of in later generations, and set up a temporary agency for one thing, which was very common and common in later generations, not only in business, but also in government departments, such as some central inspection teams and investigation teams, etc., some and film and television dramas often have officials appointed by the emperor to inspect the imperial history, holding the sword of Shang Fang to be responsible for investigating major cases, and have the right to cut first and then play, etc., and wait for one thing to be completed, This institution or temporary official position would be revoked, and the power would be withdrawn by the emperor and the imperial court.

But for today's Daqin, there is no precedent for the temporary formation of a joint yamen, and it is not common for a person to be temporarily appointed to perform a certain task, Daqin's investigation of officials in the world is a matter of supervising the province, and sending the imperial history is also a matter of supervising the province, which is a fixed job of a fixed position, and what Daqin has implemented in the hands of Li Si and other Legalist disciples is to make a law to be based on, and everything is based on rules and regulations.

If Li Si is there, then anything that happens in the bazaar will be handled by different departments alone, and will not care whether this grand event is smooth or not, whether the merchants are comfortable or not, whether the civilians are happy or not, etc., in the eyes of the Legalist disciples, all the dealers, pawns, and ordinary businessmen in the world must be at the mercy and management of the sheep like sheep, everything is from the convenience of the court management, and the five techniques of controlling the people have been passed down from the Shang Dynasty to the hands of Li Si, and there has not changed much, and the Legalist disciples will not treat ordinary people as people.

This is an important reason why Chen Xu was dissatisfied with Li Si and the Legalists of the Qin and Han dynasties.

Of course, it is also the main reason why later generations have major bad comments about the Qin Dynasty.

Labor and criminal law were the key reasons for the collapse of Great Qin.

"This market management committee not only has officials from three provinces and six ministries, but also business leaders from various industries in Daqin, under the concerted efforts of all the people, there is such a prosperous and orderly scene in front of His Majesty and you, and in fact, the specific management ministers almost never participated, so it is not a credit, but everything is foreseen and not foreseen, this management method can indeed be promoted, so that officials from all over Daqin can learn it and apply it to daily market management and special matters, In order to make things more efficient and efficient! ”

"Although Aiqing's arrangement seems simple, it is indeed effective, so Aiqing does not need to be modest and shirk, and many temporary arrangements will be handled in the future, and various departments will be coordinated to form a temporary comprehensive yamen overall arrangement!" Qin Shi Huang was humble and almost never shirked all the reforms that could bring benefits to Great Qin, so when a word came out, a group of top officials of Great Qin all surrendered their promises together.

And Meng Yi, who had been standing next to him, didn't speak much today, and after glancing at Chen Xu, his face jumped slightly, and he withdrew his eyes and continued to look at the grand occasion of the market.

This kind of large-scale bazaar activities, in later generations, is generally co-sponsored by the local government and an exhibition company, the government provides a variety of policy guarantees and arrangements, the exhibition company is responsible for attracting investment and providing various services, but according to the current situation of Daqin, this kind of large-scale bazaar is still handled by the government is relatively safe, but the current bazaar is indeed too huge, such a large-scale bazaar, tens of thousands of merchants composed of a huge caravan from thousands of miles to the south, south, north, west, and west will not only consume a lot of manpower and material resources, It is also very cumbersome to manage, hundreds of thousands of people gather together, and an accidental crowding and stampede can cause irreparable losses.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this bazaar is too huge, and it needs to be reduced next year!" Chen Xu thought for a long time and then spoke a little cautiously.

"Why, such a lively and grand occasion has never been seen before, naturally the bigger the better, why does Aiqing feel the need to reduce the scale?"

Not only Qin Shi Huang was stunned for a moment, but Feng Quji, Meng Yi and the others turned their heads to look at Chen Xu who were puzzled about safety.

"Your Majesty, Xianyang is the capital of the capital, there are several large markets, now the business houses are also all over the city and outside the city, the waterway and land are very smooth, the goods are also sufficient, the original opening of the spring market, is because of the Hu merchants from dozens of countries in the Western Regions came, the minister wanted to let these Hu merchants and envoys understand the prosperity of my Great Qin, so he held a large market, but His Majesty was happy to open this market into a spring and autumn two regular markets, at that time the minister did not expect that there would be so many merchants and people to come, the situation in front of him is certainly lively and prosperous, but also hide a lot of unstable factors, such as if there are unscrupulous people in the crowd of chaos, I am afraid that it will cause the people to be disturbed and there will be unnecessary casualties, which will also make the merchants and civilians from all over the country and the merchants of the vassal states think that my capital is not peaceful, and although there are many goods in this bazaar, but the good and bad are uneven, although the minister has not gone down to play, but I have heard the officials of the management committee have said that many goods are common bamboo, wood, salt pottery and other things on weekdays, which are commonplace, almost indiscriminate. There are not many benefits for this kind of high-standard market, so the minister believes that if the two spring and autumn markets in Xianyang are to be turned into two high-standard regular markets, then the scale must be streamlined, leaving only the excellent goods that can reflect the style of our Great Qin Wuhua and Jingshi, and other daily goods will be arranged separately......"

Many officials looked at each other, and Qin Shi Huang began to ponder.

Chen Xu said is not unreasonable, the market does look lively, but the more people are not safe, at least hundreds of thousands of people on the other side of the river are gathered near Keju Square, as long as someone draws a sword and fights in it at this time, these hundreds of thousands of people will crowd and stampede in an instant, which may cause a large number of casualties.

And on the other hand, Chen Xu is not wrong, many merchants who come to participate in the market are dealing in some ordinary bamboo and wood products, pottery or cloth, these things are commonplace everywhere, there is no need to get together to exhibit and sell, although joining in allows the Inner History Mansion to harvest a certain amount of rent and commercial tax, but it is basically a dispensable category.

"Since the left minister sees the drawbacks, can there be a good way to deal with it?" Shaofu ordered Zhao Wei to give up, he had a fanatical respect for Chen Xu, knowing that Chen Xu would only speak after thinking about everything, and if he hadn't thought about it, he would definitely not say it in public.

"Yes, since Aiqing thinks that it needs to be improved, then there is a good way to change this situation, which can not only make the Spring and Autumn Bazaar reflect the style of my Great Qin Jingshi, but also not hit the positive enthusiasm of the country's businessmen!" Qin Shi Huang also spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the spring market can be opened as a bulk commodity wholesale fair, all the participating merchants must be very powerful businessmen in various places, so that they can provide high-quality goods and low prices for small merchants all over the country, and the merchants participating in the fair do not need to carry a large number of goods, only need to carry a variety of samples, sign a purchase and sale contract with the buyer during the wholesale fair, and then agree on the delivery time and place, the transaction contract must be verified by the Department of Commerce after validity, If the contract cannot be performed at that time, it will be adjudicated by the Department of Commerce, and if it is serious, it can be handed over to the Criminal Department for disposal......"

"Qiu Shichen suggested opening a global trade fair, all the merchants participating in the autumn market must come up with goods that can represent the customs of Daqin or the special products of the surrounding vassal princes, these goods do not need to be valuable, but must have the characteristics of each place, so that everyone who comes to Xianyang to play and observe, can learn about the different customs and specialties of Daqin and the surrounding countries from the expo, so as to increase exchanges and contacts in different places, and attract different merchants to buy the goods they need from each other......"

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Zuo Xiang's arrangement is really good, and the two fairs in the Spring and Autumn Period are positioned differently, so as to reduce a lot of pressure and burden on the Beijing Division, and also enhance the image of my Beijing Division in the eyes of the vassal princes, this rent and commercial tax income is indeed good, but it also makes people a little busy and breathless......" The household department ordered Gao Teng to be the first to stand up and post it.

"Such an arrangement will indeed reduce the number of people and reduce the hassle of management, but won't it disappoint more businessmen who are eager to participate in it?" The internal history made Qi Tang question.

"Qi Neishi does not need to worry, this matter is not unsolvable, I have more than 30 counties in Daqin, more than 1,000 county seats, many places can open this kind of large-scale bazaars, and the products are different in various places, so I think this chaotic large-scale commercial bazaar can be split into some more single professional bazaars, such as the northwest and northeast rich in leather goods, so that we can hold a large-scale leather trading bazaar in Yuyang or Yanmen and other places every autumn, so as to attract leather traders from all over the country to negotiate transactions, of course, The northwest and northeast are not only leather goods, there may be other incidental goods such as medicinal materials, and they can also attract some interested businessmen to buy, and then Nanyang ironmaking is developed, Wancheng can open a steel market at a certain time every year, and attract steel equipment merchants from all over the country to participate, the southeast is rich in silk, and a special silk market can be opened in Wuzhong every year, and the southwest is rich in medicinal materials, and a medicinal material market can be opened in Changsha, etc., these markets can be opened as a short-term trading model, can also be opened as a long-term professional trading market as needed, more than 20 million people in Daqin, our vision can not only see the capital Xianyang, but let the entire Daqin benefit together, develop together, so that my Daqin will be more prosperous, and the people around the country can also get more benefits......"

Chen Xu said something, and everyone who said it nodded again and again.

The current situation is to participate in this large-scale Xianyang autumn market, many items are transported from thousands of miles away, consuming a lot of manpower and material resources, and after being transported, many goods can not be sold, maybe they can only be sold cheaply or even discarded in the end, which is also an unavoidable loss for the merchants who come to participate in the market.

However, if each region opens a professional bazaar or market according to its own conditions, it will not only drive more local development, but also make the merchants in various places more targeted and purposeful, and will not run away in vain or cause unnecessary losses.

Participate in the silk fair, even if the quality of the silk is poor, in the end, as long as the price is right, there will still be someone to buy it, because all the participants are silk merchants, there will always be people who can look at it, but now this kind of comprehensive market is completely different, the people who sell do not choose, the people who buy are also very blind, many people are purely to see the lively soy sauce, and they will buy when they are interested, but this way of shopping for businessmen, whether the goods brought can be sold depends on luck.

An hour later, the first emperor drove back to the palace to rest, a group of officials went to the market to play and watch the excitement, Chen Xu and Meng Yi, Feng Quji, Zhao Wei and a group of big bosses of three provinces and six departments walked around the market for an hour, and only broke up and said goodbye at noon, and went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers.
