The gentry and merchants gathered in the Kuixing Mansion stood together without hesitation, and they listened attentively to what Yu You said.

When Wang Shan was in Datong Mansion, he carefully recruited a group of talents who were good at business and did a good job in the basic work of the Chamber of Commerce.

This is also the reason why the Chamber of Commerce was able to be formed in such a short period of time.

Gathering all the businessmen in Datong Mansion and forming a group is something Wang Zezhi has wanted to do for a long time.

Originally, in his idea, he wanted to organize the merchants of the entire Shanxi Province and form a huge Jin Chamber of Commerce.

However, if the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, he is not sure whether the merchants of Dayuan Mansion and Pingyang Mansion are willing or not, not to mention that there are many bad guys among these people, if these people are absorbed, there will only be disadvantages and no benefits.

This also caused him to gather only the merchants in Datong Mansion.

"Now our road is wider, we can do more business, not to mention the outside of the plug, just in Datong Mansion, the construction of cities, schools, roads, and the sale of daily necessities to the people is already a big deal.

Under this premise, the chief soldier intends to match everyone, and everyone gathers here to advance and retreat together, and everyone earns money together.

First of all, the first step is to do registration, who is the surname, what goods are handled, mainly to do business inside the customs, or business outside the customs, do you want to re-take the Silk Road and go to the Western countries..."

"Wait, old man, may I ask, you just said that you will re-take the Silk Road? Can the Silk Road go? After hearing Yu You's words, Representative Xue stood up excitedly.

"Yes, the Commander-in-Chief has already contacted the Turks on the banks of the Volga, the first advance team has already set off, and if it is not bad, there should be news before the year.

When the advance team returns, we can re-walk the Silk Road. ”

Yu replied loudly and powerfully.

The merchants in the lobby instantly boiled when they heard this news, and no one knew better than these merchants what the Silk Road meant.

As long as they take out the silk, porcelain, tea and other things outside the gate, they can exchange them for a lot of gold and silver, and there is nothing more profitable than this.

"After everyone registers, decide for yourself, sign up if you want to go, and notify you as soon as the advance team comes back."

"The old man will report his name first, Tiancheng Wei Xue's family, mainly engaged in the grain business." Deputy Xue was the first to speak.

"I'll sign up, my family is in the coal business..."

"I, I, I also signed up, my family is in the cotton business, and the people of the Western Regions will definitely like cotton..."

As soon as Representative Xue spoke, all businessmen responded and signed up enthusiastically.

"Don't worry, let's come one by one, registration is only the first step." Yu Youping spread out his hand and pressed down, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"After the registration, I will explain the matter of collecting tolls and customs fees, everyone should know when doing business, this year there is a shortage of soldiers, and the road we walk is not very smooth, thanks to our general soldier.

He helped us pacify the thieves on the road, and after we got out of the customs, he even sent the steel armor heavy cavalry to escort everyone within the allowed range..."

"We all know about this matter, the soldiers fought with their lives, and fought for us a broad road, and it is natural for us to give some money to reward the soldiers." Representative Xue didn't wait for Yu You to finish speaking, and stretched out his hand to interrupt him.

They had already discussed this matter in private, and they were unanimous.

"Let's give some hard-earned money to the brothers who opened the way..."

"It's a matter of course to give this money..."

As soon as Deputy Xue spoke, various businessmen chimed in.

"Okay, then let's talk about the standard of fees, tolls and customs fees are charged at 7% of the market price of the goods you carry, that is to say, the fee is less than 10%."

"Even if the harvest is not much, we can accept it." Representative Xue said.

"Or change it to one percent."

"It's really not much."

For these merchants, Yicheng is really not much, you know, when they used to do business, after being robbed by thieves, they had nothing.

In addition to the thieves and the exploitation of the officials and the military masters, the silver they lost in a trip was far more than one percent.

"Listen to me, listen to me, I have the specific content of the "Datong Chamber of Commerce Regulations" printed and distributed by the adults here, and these rules are all established by the general soldiers, let's take a look, come here, and send the "Datong Chamber of Commerce Regulations" down."

Yu Youyi waved his hand, and the subordinates standing behind him immediately took action and handed out the "Regulations of the Datong Chamber of Commerce" to the merchants.

The merchants read it with relish.

"Based on the principles of fairness, justice, reciprocity and mutual benefit, the Chamber of Commerce..."

"To do business, you have to have connections, you have to have relationships, and connections are the greatest wealth. The Chamber of Commerce is to bring these together and share and win-win for each other..."

"You can't make a forest alone, it's hard to fight alone, only by holding together can you form a joint force, this is good..."

Yu You quietly looked at the merchants in the hall.

The subordinates of the Chamber of Commerce brought a cup of tea at the right time, and Yu You took it and tasted it gently.

"As far as the old man knows, the general army has built a lot of civil works to repair the city, open mountains and take stones, build roads and build churches, I wonder if we can join these businesses?" After reading the regulations of the Chamber of Commerce, Representative Xue closed it.

"Presumably Representative Xue has seen it in the regulations, joining the Chamber of Commerce can join the business projects of our dynasty, repairing the city, building roads, and building schools are all business projects.

Join the Chamber of Commerce first, and then apply for qualifications, which cost money and pay a deposit.

The qualification is divided into three levels: A, B and C, and the qualification of Class A requires one million taels or more of silver as a deposit, which is pledged in the ticket number.

Class B qualification, 500,000 taels or more of silver is required as a deposit, pledged in the ticket number.

Class C qualification, only a deposit of 100,000 taels of silver is required.

Qualifications must not only have silver as a pledge, but also craftsmen.

Class A requires 100 craftsmen with more than 10 years of experience.

Class B requires 50 craftsmen with at least five years of experience.

Class C requires 10 craftsmen with at least one year of experience.

Level 3 qualifications are also different in terms of business scope.

Class A qualification is not limited to the scope of business, from the construction of the Great Wall at the border to the construction of folk caves.

Class B qualification is limited to state and county-level urban defense construction, in addition to urban defense, state and county-level roads, bridges, and water conservancy can be built.

Class C qualification can only be used for the construction of forts and fire road piers, as well as the construction of roads, bridges, water conservancy, farmland, and houses at the level of forts and fire road piers. ”

Yu You said that he was thirsty at this point, and he stopped to take a sip of tea.

"The old man has a few questions, please answer them." Representative Xue said.

"Speak, please." Yu You stretched out his hand to salute and motioned for him to speak.

"Is it safe to pledge the deposit on the ticket number? Can we still withdraw the deposit in the ticket number? ”

"This question is a good question, first of all, our ticket number is definitely the safest bank in Datong Mansion, there is no one.

Seeing is believing, and I'll take you to visit the ticket number vault later.

Secondly, the purpose of the deposit is to restrain the people who do things, to be honest, and not to cheat.

Therefore, the deposit can be withdrawn, but there is a time limit for the deposit to be kept.

For example, if Xue Lao plans to take over the business project in Datong Mansion within a year, then this deposit will be put for a year, and when Xue Lao does not plan to do business projects again, when the project is completed in Xue Lao's hands, all the pledge money will be returned.

As for this matter, the "Regulations of the Datong Chamber of Commerce" are clearly written, let's take a look at it again.

I see that everyone has been here for a long time, and they must be hungry, so let's have a meal first, and after eating, we will go to visit the ticket number silver store. ”

"In that case, it will be annoying for President Yu." Representative Xue stood up and said with a salute.

Representative Xue all got up, and other businessmen in Datong Mansion also got up and thanked Yu You.
