Huaxia's unique official standard is really deformed and magical, not to mention a big city like Yangzhou in the West, even if it is a small city a few sizes smaller, if the businessmen of the whole city stand together respectfully without quarreling, it is impossible, what is the first dish of dinner, these people cannot reach a consensus, but here, in Hangzhou, Mao Jue gave an order, all the industrial and commercial owners, up to the big businessmen who chartered boats to run Nanyang, and went down to the small businessmen who set up stalls at the city gate to sell buns and sell medicines, as long as they can be called the boss, Thousands of people were all gathered.

Although Luo Ning is greedy for the Luo family, but she is also = indeed a good thing, the whole Hangzhou only has the wealth of the Luo family, these Nanming officials only dare not move, after the Hangzhou disaster, although there is a bit of a taste of robbery, but all the unsustainable business owners and even Qinglou Chu Pavilion, as long as they are willing to make a move, Luo Ning is all bought, and appoint the previous boss to continue to operate, even if there is no business, it is also to pay for survival.

In the apocalyptic Great Depression, it is a miracle that these old businessmen and skilled workers who have been in business for many years did not flee and leave their homes! The vast majority of industrial and commercial elites were preserved, which provided sufficient manpower for the big things that Mao Jue was about to do.

Compared with their Western counterparts, these Ming capitalists are also easy to bully, and they knelt in the big courtyard of Luo's Manor early in the morning and waited, not even drinking gruel, but no one squeaked, so that when Mao Jue came out yawning, he was shocked when he looked at this kneeling person.

"You guys, when are you coming, please get up, please get up quickly!"

Staring at the old shopkeeper Xu of Wanbao Goods Store at the front, Mao Jue hurriedly reached out to help, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he had a nosebleed from his nostrils, and it was really big last night!

The poor old man was almost frightened out of his heart attack, and as soon as he stood up, he threw himself back and knelt down, kowtowing incessantly.

"The old man is guilty, the old man is guilty!"

Wiped the blood with his sleeve, Mao Jue glanced over depressedly, on the side, the fan covered his face, Luo Ning smiled like a little vixen, a pair of bulging little breasts couldn't stop rising and falling, Mao Jue felt that his nose was hot again, and he hurriedly raised his head.

After laughing for a while, Luo Ning sorted out her expression in Mao Jue's murderous eyes, and walked out, this girl is really a changeable goblin, she was charming just now, and in the blink of an eye, she became a mature and majestic and a little cold ice beauty, in front of people, she was the first to solemnly squat at Mao Jue, and then with a majestic face, she shouted loudly to the group of businessmen who finally stood up and knelt down.

"From today onwards, the regent holds ninety percent of my Luojia's shares, and is the first owner of Luojiaji, and it is also your big owner!"

"Meet the big boss!"

can be regarded as understanding what they are doing in the early morning when they are calling themselves and others, and the shopkeepers of these shops once again knelt down heavily, and this time the bowing sound was much more neat.

I also understood what Luo Ning meant, although betrayals abound at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but the ancients still took a good look at this title, since they put themselves as the big bosses, these people also had to turn from loyalty to Luo Ning to themselves, leaving their red sleeves aside, Mao Jue also accepted their visit very solemnly, and immediately coughed heavily.

"Everyone, you are all the elites of the business community in Hangzhou City, and in the old days, you were also a figure with a head and a face, the shopkeeper of the self-employed side, and now you are working under Mao's hands, Mao understands that you are unwilling, but Mao can guarantee that Mao Jue will never let you regret joining this king in the future! Not only Hangzhou, but the world will change for you!"

Mao Jue's words were full of enthusiasm, and it was exactly the same as what he said when he joined the black-hearted small company in later generations, but unfortunately, there was no applause, and a group of shopkeepers were stunned, looking at him there in a daze.

These words are a bit nonsense, who can be unwilling under Mao Jue's hands? Working for Mao Jue, that is the imperial businessman, even if these people were not robbed of their family property before, Mao Jue wanted to recruit the imperial businessman, and many people were willing to add in the family property, and who could not see the prospect of the imperial businessman?

embarrassed and cleared his throat again, and then Mao Jue slapped him depressedly.

"Silk Zhuangzi, the silk shop comes out, stand in a row, and the tea related to the tea planting tea and sell tea in a row, and the other cloth sellers sell porcelain in a row, start work!"

"The grass people obey!"

In the neat response of a group of Hangzhou businessmen, Mao Jue's trade reform was unfolded in a daze.

…………

There is government intervention, organized and premeditated, and a small business on their own disorderly competition and development, is different, the entire Hangzhou business synthesized a huge trust industry, the original family-style idle silk farmers were organized to unify production, good at drawing silk, good at planting mulberry group, good at silkworm raising group, textile silk and concentrated large-scale production, the silk output suddenly increased, and more than 40 silk lines in Hangzhou unified pricing, a standard to assess the quality of silk raw silk, The chaotic silk market has also become regulated.

There is also tea, and porcelain, in just a few days, the market in Hangzhou City quickly became standardized and efficient, even more efficient than Iron Mountain, after all, Iron Mountain has several guilds competing with each other even in the same industry, and there is not even a competition here, all of them were swallowed up by Mao Jue's family.

And Mao Jue presided over the auspicious operation after the welfare of a large number of benefits, all the lower silk farmers and weavers who joined the tea farmers took the lead in issuing three months of money and rice wages, in order to help the citizens of the lower Cheng who were plundered by the Nanming, and the old merchants who performed well also issued 1/100,000 to 100,000 shares of the old shopkeeper, don't underestimate the 100,000/100,000, the market value of the entire Jilin run is 340 million taels, and 1/10,000 is also the value of 3 or 4,000 taels.

And it didn't take long for the shopkeeper manager-level Hangzhou businessman who received the shares to find that the value of his shares was like a hot butt, and he was going up with his life.

With the restoration of order in Hangzhou, the trade here also prospered rapidly, after all, after the war with Nanming, the southern goods suddenly became in demand, I heard that Mao Jue rectified Hangzhou, and in an instant the big chaebols of Tieshan, the veteran merchants of Beijing, the Jin merchants of Shanxi, even if they were far away in Shaanxi, the Shaanxi merchants who were greatly injured under the blow of Li Zicheng were like sharks that smelled blood, and they moved to gather here when they heard the wind, and the silk that had just been listed and the exported tea were directly snapped up.

In Nanming's hands, Hangzhou City, which was worth seven million taels, became a cornucopia again.

However, it is not only the merchants and high-rollers from the north, but also the white-striped sea sharks in the southern seas, but the heroes and heroes from all walks of life have also gathered to Hangzhou City, those are the big and small pirates under the command of Zheng Zhilong, since they have decided to return to Mao Jue, this Zheng Zhilong does not hide his selfishness, and issued a summoning order in the rivers and lakes, and for a while, the big and small pirates in the South China Sea have gathered in Hangzhou to meet their new leader.

However, for these people, Mao Jue was surprisingly not thinking about co-opting this time.

There is no way, for the Dongjiang Imperial Fleet, which is disciplined, it is really difficult for these heroes who are accustomed to the habits of the rivers and lakes and are used to being casual, and Mao Jue is not willing to spend a large amount of extra money, raising a group of naval troops with low discipline and combat effectiveness.

Besides, Mao Jue also has other arrangements for them.

These northern pirates were accompanied by a special group of guests.

On July 18, in the sound of crackling firecrackers, a completely different from the Ming-style building, full of exotic customs of the goods store was established in the south street outside Yuhang City next to the port, under a series of strange foreign characters, the five big characters of the Dutch East India Company were shiningly revealed.

Looking at the door is full of birds, and there is no goods store to congratulate, but the governor of Taiwan, Vanderbilt, can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the heartless and arrogant famous son Rufeli is different, he is from the bottom of the small capitalist, experienced the cruel eighty years of war, made military achievements, this climbed to the current position, he knows the cruelty of this world very well, since Mao Jue's proposal was rejected by the East India Company, Vanderbilt does not think that the Ming Dynasty can still live in peace with the East India Company.

War is coming! It's just a matter of when!

This warehouse is actually a test of Vanderbilt to the Ming Dynasty, if it is directly sealed, it means that the Ming Empire is already fighting hard, in case the news goes, it is ready to fight, Vanderbilt is on the front line of the Taiwan branch closest to the Ming Dynasty, you can also make an early warning in advance, now it seems that the right agent has not been found, in a short time, it seems that the Ming and the Netherlands can still have a period of peace.

"Prepare the ship, the governor will leave tonight and return to the Taiwan branch!"

Vanderbilt, the military governor, was not at all interested in how the merchant inn operated, and after this trial, the smoke of the firecrackers had not yet dissipated, and he was ready to go back.

However, Vanderbilt missed a little bit Mao Jue wanted to deal with him, and he still had to close off the country to prevent information leakage, and he still had to secretly gather troops with such fanfare?

Less than two kilometers away from the warehouse opened next to Vanderbilt, on the Cuiwei Pavilion of Wulinmen, which can overlook the scenery of the West Lake from afar, Mao Jue ushered in a group of new guests.

Although it was also hairy, but a pair of thick beards were rolled up, wearing a dark green cloak, and a knee-length robe wrapped inside, riding boots sewn with thick threads down to the knees, and a group of crooked nuts and black velvet gentlemen's hats, each of which was pressed with an off-white wig, compared to two months ago, Ruferi's golden wig, the gold button green Chinese embroidered waistcoat, and the black velvet coat, this group of people was undoubtedly a lot colder.

Compared with the arrogant Ruferi, these people also have a lot of vision, Mao Jue just walked upstairs, a group of British gentlemen stood up neatly, and then they knelt heavily on the ground with very standard Daming etiquette, and they didn't know if their wigs were on the door of their heads, and they didn't fall off with a bang.

"The director of the East India Company, Robert Brown. Lord Smith, knock on His Majesty the Supreme Regent of the Ming Dynasty! I have brought my sincere greetings from the British royal family to Your Majesty!"

Looking at the parchment scroll letterhead held high in the right hand of this red-nosed British gentleman in his forties, the corners of Mao Jue's mouth couldn't help but reveal a smile.

There is more than one East India Company in the world!
