For Nangong Jin, these things are not just thinking of now, "I want to withdraw the Iron Sword Hall first, anyway, Song Ran is always gone." The dart board was given to the Sword Hall, and the others were merged into the Qifeng Hall. Then take Qifeng Hall as the main hall of Huguang, and set up the Sword Hall and Jingshang Hall. The sword is responsible for the transportation of goods in Huguang, and at the same time, there are permanent points in every place where there are businesses in Jingshangtang. ”

"After all, Jing Shangtang has silver and goods, and the only thing they don't know is that the Relict Sword Hall will be, so they are together to let the Relict Sword Hall be responsible for protection. As for the attraction of Jing Shangtang, in addition to the five hundred taels of guaranteed silver, it is the shops scattered all over Huguang. These shops have also become the charge d'affaires of our Huguangtang in various places. ”

The two were silent for a long time, and Zhao Fengming said: "So, in fact, the three halls in Jingzhou have been merged into one Huguang Hall." This hall is indeed relatively large. The affairs of various places are handled by the Jing Shang Hall, but the relics are protected and supervised by the Sword Hall. ”

Nangong Jin nodded, "Merchants value profit over righteousness, we now have Xiangji foreign goods, if they find out that there are other things that come to make money, I don't believe they will always be loyal." Therefore, they only traded, and five hundred taels of silver were just to buy a banner, but they also had to obey the rules. Therefore, other affairs need to be arranged by the father-in-law to do it. ”

Zhao Fengming nodded, "This matter needs to be carefully calculated and arranged, but anyway, set up the Jingshang Hall first and collect the guarantee money." Then, the tone of conversation changed, "Originally, you were going to the South China Sea. I asked Lin Shi to join you because I wanted Nanhai to do the marriage first. ”

"Huh?" Nangong Jin's face flushed slightly, and she whispered, "Isn't it after the New Year?" ”

"Even after the year, the South China Sea will have to be married first." Zhao Fengming said with a smile: "However, now it seems that the matter of setting up Jing Shangtang is more important, and it is okay not to go to the South China Sea." The matter of the rental ship can be dealt with in the new. As for the marriage, I heard that Zhang Can is still in Pingyang, and your father probably asked him to represent the South China Sea and do the marriage near Pingyang. ”

Since he decided not to go to the South China Sea, Nangong Jin called Yao Fangyu to discuss the various regulations of Jing Shangtang.

Liu Mianzhi was also trustworthy, and two days later, he came to Nangong Jin.

On the Yangtze River, a huge painting boat walked slowly, and fifteen tables were set up in the cabin, and there was no crowding at all. Nangong Jin brought Zhao Fengming, Li Qiang, Cheng Zhaofeng, and Lin Shi to the scene as scheduled. In the scene of more than 100 people, Nangong Jin couldn't have a deep conversation with anyone, but he just put on a gesture and didn't seem to force everyone.

It's just that everyone who can come to participate has already unified their thoughts, even if everyone has their own reasons, but the purpose is the same. For Nangong Jin's politeness, they responded with an oath. However, even Li Qiang felt that instead of making an oath like this, it was better to make a contract.

On this occasion, Nangong Jin talked eloquently, and everyone present was very excited, as if they saw a bright future, whether it was true or not, Nangong Jin did give hope.

On the same day, Liu Yanzhi handed over the roster, but Nangong Jin confiscated it, but agreed with everyone to sign a contract with every merchant in the Chamber of Commerce who wanted to enter Nangong's door. It is promised that the Jingshang Hall is not a subordinate of the Nangong clan, but each household must be under the unified management of the hall according to the agreement. Things outside the contract are not restricted, but they can't be under the banner of the Nangong clan.

This was beyond everyone's expectations, and some people in the audience were overjoyed and some were thoughtful. Taking advantage of this, Nangong Jin gave the contract template to all of them.

The boat drove back and forth on the river for three hours, and when it ended, it was already the beginning of the lanterns.

That night, Liu Zhizhi and seven others rushed to Qifengzhuang. Although their expressions were different, they had the same purpose, after all, the seven of them were the elders of the hall they had set themselves.

"Second son, there are only three pieces of content stipulated in the document, but it doesn't hurt for us to have more." Liu Zhizhi smiled cautiously: "Moreover, this is more like only cooperating with the Nangong clan." ”

Nangong Jin smiled slightly, "All the halls under the Nangong Gate are all subordinates and vassals of the Pingyang Nangong Clan, and they are completely under the orders of the Nangong Clan. Just because the Nangong clan is the main family, no matter how big the matter is, it can be handled directly with the clan rules without reporting to the official. This is the case with the current Jingzhou Santang. "Looking at Zhao Fengming," Hall Master Zhao handed over all his net worth. There are one hundred and twenty-seven people in the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce, who wants to do this? ”

Liu Xuanzhi didn't expect Zhao Fengming to be so decisive, smiled awkwardly, looked at the other six people present, and could only say: "This ......, if there is really Jing Shangtang in the future, it is indeed more special." ”

Nangong Jin nodded and smiled: "Yes, so Jing Shangtang can only do business in Huguang." ”

"This ......" several old men in the seat looked at each other, "Second son, this is also the reason why we came, can we expand the scope a little, we have many people who not only have businesses in Huguang." ”

Nangong Jin continued to smile and said, "You guys came up with Huguang, then it's not about talking to me. It's just that my father and my eldest brother would not consider setting up a church in such a way. ”

Hearing Nangong Jin say this, the expressions of those people were still a little unwilling, but they didn't talk about it anymore. Liu Zhizhi glanced at them again, and said to Nangong Jin with a smile: "The three businesses that are open now, each of which requires five hundred taels of silver as a guarantee, we have no objections." It's just that to cooperate with Xiang Kee and sell Xiang Kee foreign goods, you must change the store signboard and decoration, which is ......"

In fact, Nangong Jin had already told everyone about this contract on the ship, but everyone didn't have time to take a closer look at it at that time. In the next few days, more people should ask questions about this.

"Former members of the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce, if you sign a contract this year, I will guarantee it according to sixty percent of the cashier, that is, three hundred taels of silver for each business, and if you want to participate in all three, it will be nine hundred taels. But this guarantee silver, since it is a guarantee, it will not be returned to everyone. This point should be carefully considered. Nangong Jin emphasized that no matter what, it is always good to say ugly things in the front.

"It's okay, it's okay, and it's as it should be." The seven people in the audience nodded in acknowledgement. "We were thinking of paying the guarantee."

"Mr. Liu's question just now, we need to say a little bit." This question could have been said in one sentence, but Nangong Jin didn't plan to do it, after all, these people still needed to explain it to others.

"Okay." Several people also understood what Nangong Jin meant, and nodded one after another.

"The first business is freight. Of course, this also includes fashion stores. Jing Shangtang is not involved in the transportation part, but in the Huguang area to receive business. In order not to fight with oneself, it is stipulated that only if there is a business in the locality, can you take over local business. That is, if any of you has a business in Chenzhou, then the freight business in Chenzhou can be picked up by you. The external price is fixed, and the price of each hall under the Nangong clan is uniform, which must be observed. But I will give the price of the first batch of Jing merchants, which is seventy percent of the original price, that is, the freight that originally cost ten taels of silver, you only need to pay me seven taels, and the extra three taels are your income. But it is not up to you to carry it, but to hand it over to the Hall of the Relict Sword. ”

Nangong Jin smiled bitterly, "The people of the Legacy Sword Hall don't talk about business, and it's much better to have you here." There is also a freight bank, you can open a goods store, but if you don't want to open, you just want to simply pick up the freight business, it's okay. It's just that in any case, there must be a warehouse to do freight, and this is up to you. As long as the goods enter the warehouse, you are responsible for them, and they will be handed over to the Sword Hall when they leave the warehouse. Therefore, the Relic Sword Hall will send people to stay in your freight store to do liaison and inventory matters. ”

The seven of them nodded again, and finally someone asked, "What if it is connected to the fashion store?" ”

"If you want to open a store and a picture album of goods, the main church will draw it and hand it over to you. This part is the responsibility of Qifeng Hall, which is also responsible for the Huguang General Hall. In addition, the style and signboard of the fashion store are also unified in our Huguang. When you see such a store sign and style, you know that this store belongs to the Nangong family. Our regulations are more detailed, and when the time comes, the main church will give the standard, and we will also send people to help open the store. Of course, the reason for this is also to prevent someone from impersonating. Again, 70% of the list price will be given to you. ”

"Understand, the details of the regulations should be." Liu Mianzhi said, "By the way, the unification of Xiangji foreign goods stores is also the reason?" ”

"In addition, it is also because there are only five ships that Xiang Ji has led by ships, and it takes a year and a half to go to sea once, and the number of real foreign goods is limited every year. If you want to sell foreign goods that come in through Xiang Kee, the requirements for the store will be higher, which is to delete the selection, not everyone can do it. Nangong Jin added

"Can you book the cabin of the Xiangji sea ship?" Someone asked.

"If you choose to cooperate with Xiang Kee, you can also meet the requirements of opening a foreign store, and you can set the cabin of Xiang Kee's sea vessel. However, the total number of cabins will be given to Jingshang Hall, and how each household is divided will be allocated by the hall. ”

Someone else weakly asked, "Otherwise, can't you?" ”

Nangong Jin nodded, "There's no way, there's just a few cabins, not only our Huguang, but also other halls under Nangong's door, and there are even more people who pay high prices outside." After all, we only have fifty boat guides in the entire Ming Dynasty this year, and I heard that this year's one is gone, and it may increase next year, but I don't know how much it will increase. If you have a relationship, you can try it yourself. ”

"If we get the ship guide and have our own sea boat, can we play the banner of auspiciousness?" An old man asked.

"I can't." Nangong Jin's answer was very direct, and he didn't even give an explanation.

The old man's face was slightly disappointed, but he didn't say anything more.

Nangong Jin continued: "The last business is all kinds of events, and now, of course, it's the Sword Dance. What was the situation of the last sword dance, Mr. Liu participated in the whole process, and everyone also participated. Therefore, the sword dance will be held again, and in addition, there are others, of different sizes and scales. ”

"Well, if it weren't for ...... this year It's a pity. Liu Zhizhi sighed.

"Next year, we should be able to get it. If you do it more delicately, the schedule will be longer, and it will also bring out other events. For example, the six arts of the game and the book of the play. Speaking of this, Nangong Jin himself smiled.
