At the beginning of June, the Government Council, the Holy Academy, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate discussed many times how to properly handle the dispute with the North-South Chamber of Commerce, and it was not until mid-June that a result was reached, that is, the separation of the Road Commercial Bureau into the Commercial Taxation Bureau and the Highway Bureau remained unchanged. In order to take care of the mood of the North and South Chamber of Commerce, and in order to avoid the loss of credit of the imperial court, the three departments also selected people to conduct direct consultations with the North and South Chamber of Commerce.

In order to avoid the Chamber of Commerce being unwilling to burn profits, it finally decided not to collect fire consumption according to the annual harvest, but to collect fire consumption according to the actual amount of coinage. Among them, the actual fire consumption when the silver is minted is 10%, but the fire consumption is charged according to 20%, and the excess is used to issue to the honest officials to raise honest silver, and the court does not get the slightest benefit from it. Seeing that the imperial court did not save the fire consumption as a profit, the people of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce and the Huguang Chamber of Commerce also decided to withdraw from it, they were afraid that no matter how greedy they were, they would arouse the anger of all officials.

Seeing that the people of the two chambers of commerce had eyes and knew the trade-off, the Holy College suggested that the advice of the apocalypse be followed and the commercial tax bureau should be split into the tax bureau and the industrial and commercial bureau again. A modification has been made here, that is, industry and commerce are separated, and those who buy low and sell high to obtain the difference in price are called commerce, and those who recombine and process items are called industry. Of course, the restriction of the 20% profit cap is limited to commerce, and the industry is not capped for the time being, which not only respects the emperor's opinion, but also can be regarded as a kind of compensation for merchants. Seeing that the imperial court was so flexible and retreating, the two presidents of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce and the Huguang Chamber of Commerce were also very satisfied, and felt that they had an explanation for the people in the Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce withdrew from the tax collection business, and the Chamber of Commerce also withdrew from the minting business, and now only one highway bureau business and the money bank lending business remained. When a businessman suggested that they should also withdraw from these two items, the opinion of the Holy Academy was that it was not possible now, because the imperial court had no money now. If someone really wants to quit, those who quit now can only get back half of the silver, those who quit after three years can get back the principal, and those who quit after five years can take half of the principal as interest. That is to say, if someone contributes 1 million taels and wants to withdraw his shares now, he will withdraw 500,000 yuan of shares, and those who withdraw their shares after three years can get back 1 million principals, and those who withdraw their shares after five years can get back 1.5 million.

In order to appease the shareholders' dissatisfaction with the matter, the imperial court allowed the shareholders to transfer their shares privately, and also allowed them to exchange the disgraceful deposits at home for silver dollars in batches. The imperial court used to only convert tax silver and equity silver into silver coins, and did not exchange smuggled silver from unknown sources but had to strictly investigate, but now allowing shareholders to exchange in batches is equivalent to helping them launder money, or allowing them to make a fortune when they help others launder money. Shareholders know about this compensation and no longer care about it, and some are ecstatic.

In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, there were not many silver taels, and the total amount of silver taels in the country during the Apocalypse was about more than doubled, and most of the extra silver that flowed back to the Ming Dynasty from the Heng trade was almost concentrated in the hands of merchants, and they exchanged raw silk, tea, porcelain, etc. for a large amount of ♀ silver, and it is said that the people who did these businesses were embarrassed to say that they had money if they did not have a million at home. Of course, there are pros and cons in everything, and the more people who grow mulberry and tea, the less they grow grain, which is also one of the reasons for the food crisis in the Ming Dynasty in recent years.

A large amount of silver flowed into the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming court did not get any benefits, and after seeing this situation, Tianqi ordered the minting of silver coins, and gradually banned the circulation of silver other than silver coins. When minting silver coins, only the equity silver and tax silver are allowed to be minted, and the rest of the silver to be exchanged for silver coins will not only be charged 20% of the fire consumption but also 20% of the tax, which makes many people who have silver deposits very panicked. In fact, it is not only the people who have deposited silver who are panicking, but also some of the people in the imperial court, and these rich people privately mint coins or simply oppose them. Now, taking advantage of the fact that some compensation is given to the shareholders, by the way, this matter will be put to a conclusion, and if you can't receive the smuggling tax, you can at least receive 20% of the fire consumption without losing money.

In terms of the loan interest of the bank, the Government Council once again announced that the interest capped at two cents will be reduced to a one-cent cap. As for those businessmen who say that they lose money in the off-season and don't make money on average in the peak season, the court doesn't pay attention to it, and they just feel that you can not do it if you lose money.

In the process of these mutual compromises and concessions, the imperial court established a new relationship with the merchants√ and the people had the status of merchants, and carried out business activities according to the capital and projects registered with the industrial and commercial bureau, which was convenient for tax collection and management, so that commercial activities could develop in a balanced manner, and the phenomenon of some projects entering and leaving the group and leaving others was not cared for. Everyone's opinions and suggestions have been taken seriously and replied to, at least on the surface, everyone is satisfied, except for a little knot in the problem of the Highway Bureau.

The Road Merchants Bureau and the money village were engaged in the apocalypse at that time, the total amount was 60 million taels but claimed to be 10,000 taels, and now they were stripped back and forth and only the silver dollars and the project of the Highway Bureau were left in the central bank. In other words, the once-prosperous Road Merchants Bureau and the Central Bank are now a mess.

Hearing this result, many people panicked, and the people of the North and South Chamber of Commerce had no way to be compensated, and the officials of the DPRK and China who held the shares were a little anxious and came to inquire about the news. The attitude of the household department is unclear, because they only gave out 5 million, and the remaining 5 million was borrowed from the apocalypse, and the idea was to pick up the baby and kick it, and what they thought was that it was a big deal to transfer the shares to the apocalypse. When Concubine Zheng and Concubine Li Kang sent their mattresses, they knew that the mess had been pushed on themselves, the founder, again.

When the Council reported the incident a few days later, it was difficult for the Apocalypse to say anything, because this was his own request to say that there was no major matter to be reported every ten days, and that if you are lazy, you will have to pay the price of laziness.

Apocalypse knows that they are talking nonsense, and also knows that they mainly have complaints about the 20% profit cap and interest rate reduction. On the other hand, if you think about it, you can also see things as simpler, and it is wishful thinking and embarrassing to form a team and then just lie aside and share dividends, and make such and such demands. However, Apocalypse did not panic, he thought that the problem would definitely be solved, and it would take some time at most. However, when Chrome and other princes successively expressed their concern for the safety of the share capital, Apocalypse knew that it could not be delayed any longer, and it was a great luck that these masters could not cause trouble, and it would be troublesome for them to get involved.

The relationship between this person is actually very simple, but it is much more complicated as soon as it is mixed with interests, husband and wife become enemies and brothers turn against each other from time to time, today's friends become enemies tomorrow, and yesterday's enemies are engaged in cooperation today, these are all things that are not surprising ♀ at the beginning, the merchant and the court use each other, the merchant needs the power of the court as a protective umbrella, the court needs the silver support of the merchant, and it is very happy and optimistic at the beginning. But then there was a contradiction, but this is not surprising, open the history book and look at it, you can see that the Chinese have not had the spirit of cooperation over the years, and very few have really done things through cooperation.

Originally, it was a conflict of interests between the imperial court and the merchants, but now that they were satisfied with each other, they concentrated the contradiction on their own initiator, because as soon as the shareholders came to the door to inquire, several departments passed the buck to each other, fully demonstrating the bureaucratic style of being good at kicking the ball. As soon as everyone summed up, they found Apocalypse and complained to Apocalypse that they were in charge of the apocalypse, because they only participated in the shares under the persuasion of Apocalypse, just like many people call Mom when they are afraid, because he thinks that his mother brought him into this world, and his mother must be responsible for what he can't deal with to the end.
