Chapter 612: Dayuan Firm
Yarubarda is not alone in this idea. All the people who lived a good life were grateful to Li Chengji for his gift and had a heart for Khorasan.
At this time, the heavy armored cavalry on the official road had already lined up and walked away, and various civil groups belonging to different organizations began to enter everyone's sight. There are teachers and students from the school, as well as businessmen from the Chamber of Commerce. There are also official workshops and administrative units, and each county has also sent delegations to form phalanxes and sing and dance.
One of the most striking is a brightly dressed phalanx of plays.
It is full of Liyuan Chun's plays, representing the highest artistic level in Dayuan. Men and women, all of them are beautiful. At this moment, they were wearing bright dresses and dancing the "Pure Land of Bliss" dance that Li Chengji made in his spare time.
As soon as he appeared, everyone's eyes were unconsciously attracted. The originally noisy field also quieted down in an instant. Inside the phalanx, there are musicians playing authentic Japanese songs, which no one in Central Asia, far from the Japanese archipelago, can understand.
But music knows no borders!
This can be applied in any era.
The officials on the stage listened attentively, and Mamikonian even asked the waiter who came to pour tea: "What kind of famous song is this?" Although I don't understand it, it's pleasant to the ear. ”。 In the main position of envoy, he also has the side job of 'music idiot'.
He knows all the famous songs of Georgia. And he spent a lot of money to buy the scores of ancient Greek famous songs that were exiled from the Byzantine court. At this moment, if you listen to the moving 'Pure Land of Bliss', the illness of 'Joy Idiot' will be committed again.
When the envoys from several small countries from Tianzhu heard the music of the 'Pure Land of Bliss', they also reacted in the same way as Mamikonian.
In later generations, when it comes to the Indian subcontinent, most people's first impression is song and dance. Even though the great power that unites the Indian subcontinent has not yet been formed, the indigenous Indian love of song and dance transcends the constraints of space and time.
It's just that the waiter who brought the tea and water didn't know the name of the music, so he could only shake his head, leaving them with a sense of regret.
It's no wonder that the waiter has little knowledge!
Rather, it is the song of the Pure Land of Bliss that has not been officially seen to you until today. So the vast majority of people have never heard of it.
Li Chengji on the stage looked at everyone's reactions, and felt a little proud. In order to show off the limelight at this founding ceremony, he didn't put a lot of effort into arranging. A procession phalanx like this one from the people is the idea he came up with.
To spice things up, each phalanx representing a different industry is dressed in a different costume. And each square has a program performance, so that the audience will not be aesthetically fatigued.
Nazir al-Din Tusi's third year and second class were included in the large phalanx of the Imperial Academy. A few good-looking and talented performers stood on the parade in their team, performing the show.
The four characters of the Imperial Academy were made into colorful flags and hung next to the tour car. It's not easy to dance in the wind, so that people don't want to watch it.
But among all the phalanxes, it was not the handsome men and women of Liyuan Spring who received the most cheers. Rather, it is the doctors and paramedics of the Medical Corps. They saved the dead and helped the wounded, and I don't know how many people were rescued from before the ghost gate was closed.
The people are not ungrateful, white-eyed wolves. Knowing that they were able to save their lives, I owe them to the doctors who treated them. The soldiers are also very grateful to these medical workers, because they are on the battlefield and are in danger of dying at any time.
Only they can deeply understand how happy it is to live in good health.
The Khorasan Chamber of Commerce procession phalanx is the most generous of all the phalanxes.
This is a chamber of commerce organization that gathers the top business houses in the country! Anyone who is named on Khorasan can apply to the Khorasan Chamber of Commerce to join. However, as a semi-official social organization, the Khorasan Chamber of Commerce has special requirements for the qualifications of its members.
This also makes it possible for many people to apply, but few people to actually join.
And in terms of geography, the commercial banks of Malu and Puhua are selected more, and there are very few other counties. Gansu Province, Kipchak Special Military Region, Gur County, Semnan County, Sistan County and other administrative regions with a large geographical area have not been selected.
One is that when the Khorasan Chamber of Commerce was founded, these places were not yet under Khorasan rule.
The other is that in terms of financial resources, these places do not qualify as sufficient commercial firms.
Now, with the opening of Khorasan's territory, the Chamber of Commerce has discussed increasing the number of members of the Chamber of Commerce and expanding the influence of the Chamber of Commerce at the request of the Khorasan officials. And in order to ensure the political superiority of the leader of the Khorasan Chamber of Commerce, the Khorasan Chamber of Commerce will be changed to the Dayuan Chamber of Commerce in the near future.
In the future, the name of Khorasan will really be just the name of a region of the Great Yuan Empire.
Their marchers don't see how special they are yet! But the tour car stands out from the crowd. A curtain with strings of pearls hung on it, and golden bells lined the rim of the carriage. The pillars made of jade-colored jade become the four corners of the touring car, showing the financial power of the Khorasan Chamber of Commerce.
"What a lot of money! Look at the cotton carpet, it's really extraordinary. The people in the audience may not really see it, but the guests on the stage can really see it by taking advantage of looking down from above.
Any piece of material on the car is worth 10,000 gold, and the end is extremely luxurious.
"What is this Khorasan Chamber of Commerce? Is it a gathering of all merchants? A guest asked puzzled.
Some people who know the inside story can't help but laugh out loud and explain, "You're going to be wrong!" The Chamber of Commerce is a meeting place where all the trading houses of Khorasan come together to form a clubhouse. There is a president of the Chamber of Commerce and ten members of the Council of the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce has the right to bargain for the commercial goods produced and sold by the Chamber of Commerce. ”。
Actually, that's not all!
Because the president of the chamber of commerce is elected by the Li firm for life, the Li firm with official colors has a great say in the chamber of commerce. In addition, eighty percent of the valuable goods in Khorasan are produced and sold by the Li firm, making most of the chamber of commerce a hall of the Lee firm.
Every year, the amount of commercial goods produced, the wages of workers, and the price of commercial goods are discussed in a centralized manner. And all of them are led by Li's Commercial Bank, and other chamber of commerce members put forward opinions. In the end, there will be some changes and concessions, but basically according to the requirements of Lee's firm.
And this also represents the attitude of Khorasan officials.
Therefore, the Khorasan Chamber of Commerce is actually a tool for the Khorasan government to control the business world. In this era represented by powerful bureaucracy, the germ of capitalism is simply a fantasy. The power represented by the businessmen is worthless in front of the government.
But on the whole, the Khorasan government is more supportive than restrictive about commerce. Therefore, under the guidance of the Chamber of Commerce, all commercial banks have developed well. Every time I listened to the advice of Li's firm, I also made a lot of money.
Therefore, the position of the Li family firm in the Khorasan Chamber of Commerce has always been very stable. It is foreseeable that this stability will continue for many years to come.
