At the end of the first year of Daguan, a group of special guests were ushered in in Zhaodefang, and as Yang Lin's residence, there was no shortage of officials to move around, but it was the first time that so many businessmen gathered.

These merchants know how much profit there is from Bianhe Caoyun, they are the largest merchants near and far, and some even came from Chengdu.

In the lobby of Zhaodefang, these merchants were sitting in a precarious position, and they were polite to others when they brought tea.

This is not an ordinary place, but the Shaozai of the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Lin's mansion, which is in the limelight, and his status in the Great Song Dynasty has rarely surpassed him.

After a while, a tall and plump woman opened the way, and a few small men came out with a young man in the back, it was Yang Lin, the winner of the battle between the court and the middle some time ago.

As soon as Yang Lin came out, all the businessmen in the hall stood up and looked at the big man nervously.

Although their families are rich, they still can't compare with this kind of official, and in the past, they would never have dreamed that they would one day become Shaozai's guests.

Yang Lin smiled and pressed his hand and said, "Everyone, please take a seat." ”

When Yang Lin sat down, these people slowly sat down, and there were many others standing aside.

It turned out that there would not be so many guests in the Yang Mansion in the past, and there would not be enough chairs.

Yang Lin turned around and said, "Yun Niang, count how many people don't have seats, and move a few chairs." ”

The tall woman answered, turned away, and in a few moments a few little men came in with chairs.

Such a favor made the businessmen who did not have seats a little cramped because they came late. Standing there I don't know how to say thank you, although everyone is a long-sleeved good, and communicating with people on weekdays is exquisite, and I can't bear the occasion at this time, so I can't use it.

"I invite you here today, my official has something important to discuss. You are all well-known merchants in the Great Song Dynasty, and you all know more about the mall than this official. At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, 16 wealthy families in Chengdu Mansion jointly set up Jiaozi Shop because the coins were too heavy to carry. Later, the imperial court issued money again, hehe, you all know that the situation is not good, the state is embarrassed, and the depreciation of the banknotes is naturally caused by a great shrinkage of everyone's income. Money leads to this thing, but in fact, it exists in name only. ”

The merchants nodded frequently, and what Shaozai said was right, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with the purpose of coming today. Today, everyone is here for the Bianhe Cao, Yang Shaozai obviously digressed, but no one dared to question it.

Yang Lin continued: "Today we are... How many came? ”

Yun Niang bowed slightly, and said in her ear: "Thirty-five." ”

"Thirty-five, plus the official is thirty-six, our strength is more than a star and a half higher than the sixteen households in Chengdu Mansion at the beginning. I don't know how troublesome it is to operate, it is neither safe nor convenient to carry coins, and the money cannot be exchanged, and the official does not shy away from saying that it is like waste paper. We can unite to build money banks in various places and issue a kind of paper money to replace money. ”

Yang Lin said that he stood up, walked to the middle of more than 30 wealthy merchants, and said, "How about calling it a silver ticket?" ”

All the merchants looked at each other, and they were all a little moved, but they were afraid of being pitted by the big officials in front of them.

Paper money has always been a sharp weapon for merchants in the imperial court, and all the property of many wealthy businessmen and tycoons who have been harmed by a money has become a bubble, and they have been circled by the imperial court.

Yang Lin said with a smile: "This official can not interfere in this matter, you will do it, I will be the leader, and it will be convenient for the Long Live Camp to build Genyue." ”

Finally, an elderly businessman felt that this kind of assembly could not be discussed without discussion, so he got up and hugged his fists and said: "Shaozai, whether it is Qian Yin or Jiaozi, the biggest problem is that the publisher can print it at will and disrupt normal transactions. As long as the publisher is short of money, he can print it and use it, and it will inevitably depreciate in the long run. Shaozai wants to have a hairstyle silver ticket, how will he change this stubborn disease? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall nodded again and again, this person was Wang Yun, a leather merchant from the Daimyo Mansion, who had a lot of wealth and was very prestigious in the merchants.

"It's very simple, set up a chamber of commerce, I will pay for you to print, and the Long Live Camp has the right to supervise. We supervise each other, cooperate with each other, and you are more familiar with business than me, and we all know one truth, win-win is the best cooperation. ”

"Long live the camp and hand it over to the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce will print five million silver tickets, and you can exchange them for silver tickets from the Chamber of Commerce's bank. If I repent, I have cheated my own money, and if I publish it at will, you can get away. ”

At this time, all the wealthy businessmen became excited, and Shaozai's proposal was full of sincerity, but he didn't know how the Chamber of Commerce should work.

Wang Yun lowered his head and discussed with a few people around him, and continued to ask: "Shaozai, I don't know how the Chamber of Commerce you are talking about was formed?" ”

"It is formed by you, and you voluntarily elect a president who is responsible for the operation of the business, and the official will never interfere. All merchants who join the Chamber of Commerce can take a stake in Caoyun, and after the establishment of your Chamber of Commerce, make a specification. You can buy shares in merchant ships, cargo ships, chariots and horses; It can be invested in human power and money, all of which are converted according to the current prices. All the income from Caoyun will be distributed at the end of the year according to the number of shares.

The officer's long live battalion will take thirty percent of it, and all the rest will be divided according to shares. ”

Yang Lin controlled Caoyun and used his power to monopolize Bianhe, if he was really willing to divide a little, it would not be too much to draw thirty percent. There is also Yangtong's business empire, which can occupy a large share, and this strength is no longer comparable to that of few merchants.

Many thoughtful businessmen have already figured out the taste, this chamber of commerce has so many conveniences, won't there be wealthy businessmen everywhere in the future. The Great Song Dynasty raised a Bianliang with the strength of the whole country, which was the economic center of the entire Great Song Dynasty. If the business can't be done in Bianhe, it can't be called a big businessman.

The Chamber of Commerce, whether it is the convenience of Cao Yun or silver tickets, has a fatal attraction to merchants, and no one wants to carry a few carts of coins to run around for months.

When you enter the Chamber of Commerce, you can take the silver ticket and exchange it at the money banks in various places, which is convenient and safe.

It is foreseeable that as long as Yang Shaozai is not too short-sighted and backtracks, as long as he persists for a few years, the Chamber of Commerce will be extremely strong. Moreover, this chamber of commerce is completely a non-governmental and spontaneous organization, not only will it not increase the burden on the imperial court, but it will even add a lot of taxes.

As long as Yang Lin does not fall in the imperial court, he can continue to gain the trust of the emperor with this merit.

When the time comes... Yang Shaozai can control the world's business roads, plus his Long Live Battalion also controls six city divisions, this God of Wealth of the Great Song Dynasty is definitely none other than him.

Not to mention the long-term, but the current thirty-five are already a force to be reckoned with in the Great Song Dynasty.

According to Yang Lin, he can be involved in this matter, and once he speaks, his people can make a lot of profits. If he doesn't count what he says, forcibly intervenes in the Chamber of Commerce, and prints silver tickets at will, he can also withdraw from it.

Without too much discussion, these people were all old oilmen of business, and they all agreed quickly.

Yang Lin smiled, raised his hand and said, "Originally, you should have been left to eat here, but you should have a lot of things to discuss privately, so this official will not force you to stay." Today is the end of the year, the Ming Dynasty is the New Year, may you have a wide range of wealth. ”

Everyone got up together, thanked them, gathered in groups of three or five, and slowly withdrew from Zhaodefang.
