Chapter 161: Ability
In the front hall, Yu Wenwen, who was bruised, was meeting guests, and the guests were also bruised, of course, this was definitely not an injury caused by skateboarding. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Looking at the thick "report" in his hand, Yu Wenwen didn't feel new about the contents, because he had already read the report of the "Market Research Department" because of similar results.
But even so, Yu Wenwen is also very happy, because this is sorted out by the city order Di Jun with the officials, and there are officials who can pay so much attention to the relevant information of the market in these years, which is a "wonderful".
The city order is responsible for managing the trading market, maintaining order and collecting taxes, and from a traditional point of view, people of insight with good background are very "cheap" when they become such officials, and they cannot avoid it if they have a choice.
However, where the economy is prosperous, there is a "city", and it is not possible to manage it without officials, and it is not appropriate for the government to put taxes and not collect them.
Therefore, many of the city orders are excluded officials, or officials, of course, the city orders in famous cities such as Chang'an, Jiankang, and Luoyang are fat, so it has to be another matter.
Yu Wenwen appointed Di Jun to make a market order, not for the purpose of humiliation, but a real shortage of manpower, he doesn't want a clear stream who can only talk, but urgently needs a minister who can do things.
However, limited by geography and status, the children of the family may not be willing to take refuge in him, and what "the tiger's body is shocked, exudes the spirit of a king, and talents from all walks of life worship their heads" only exists in fantasy.
Therefore, everyone around him who can use it must be used, not to look at the reputation to see the ability, let Xi Dijun make the market order is both exercise and observation, if he is indeed capable, then the next appointment can be considered.
"Boss, the tax revenue in the East City has been growing, and there have been a few cases of bullying and dominating the market, but they have all been extinguished."
"Bullying and dominating the market? Who is so bold? ”
"They are all newcomers from other places, and as soon as they gain a foothold, they want to play ruthlessly like elsewhere, and they are taught to be people."
Di Jun worked under Yu Wenwen, and over time the words became "fashionable", and Yu Wenwen cared about who these new outsiders were "taught to be".
If it is relying on the government, it will be a mixed blessing, because not every official can act impartially, and if a new official wants to make a fortune one day, let his white gloves enter the market to make money, but it will corrupt the market order.
"Boss, it's the guilds in the market who have stepped in to solve it."
"I see, what do you think of the guild?"
"The lower officials feel that there are pros and cons, and the guild can safeguard the interests of businessmen, but there is also a risk of bullying and dominating the market when it becomes bigger, especially the philistines, once they become bigger, there will be endless disasters."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Philistines make profits by matching successful transactions, and now there are also philistines in Xiyang East City,..."
Yu Dijun talked eloquently, he was making market orders with his heart, so the relevant affairs were clear, and Yu Wenwen, who already had the answer in his heart, silently listened to the other party's explanation, to see what Di Jun could sum up.
Philistine, also known as the tooth man in the Tang Dynasty, that is, the trading broker of later generations, made a living by soliciting and matching transactions and collecting commissions from profits, but after the tooth man became bigger and established a tooth shop, it would become a cancer later.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Guangzhou's tooth shop is the most famous, they have monopolized the market, foreign merchants come to do business locally, without these tooth people: if you want to sell goods, then the goods have to be handed over to the tooth people, and they are not allowed to enter the market.
When to sell, how much to sell, you say it doesn't count, the tooth man has the final say, the goods are placed in the tooth people's warehouse, the merchant still has to pay the rent, once the tooth man maliciously presses the goods, the guest will lose all his money.
Similarly, foreign merchants want to come to the local purchase, no tooth people can't, you want to meet directly with the seller to negotiate the price? I'm sorry, the dead chicken at your door last night was just a greeting gift, next time, it's going to be dead.
If a local merchant wants to sell goods to foreign merchants, he must also go through the tooth people, otherwise you don't want to enter the market to do business, maybe one day the goods will be burned by a fire, or a stuffy stick down and beaten into an idiot.
Encroaching on the fishing people, bullying and dominating the market, fraud and coaxing, fishing profits, charging high commissions, and harming the interests of both parties to the transaction are the dangers of the development of the dental industry.
He has carefully observed that the philistines in Xiyang City and Bakou Port are still competing in an orderly manner, and there is no situation of forming gangs, which is very "friendly" to buyers and sellers, but it is difficult to say after a long time.
"So what do you think? Or what can be done about it? ”
"The idea of the lower officials is to set up a special trading place, where buyers and sellers list their needs, whether they want to buy goods or buy things, they can see it at a glance and avoid monopoly trading."
Listening to Di Jun's thoughts, Yu Wenwen nodded, but then asked a question: "Buyers and sellers, maybe they can't understand what the other party says, what?" ”
"Some people are not even literate, after all, it is not necessary to be literate to do business, and some people pay money with one hand and deliver goods with one hand, everything is negotiated orally, the contract is exempted, and even the deed tax is saved."
"Manager, there can be traders in the trading venue to match the transaction and collect appropriate fees from it, of course, this is a philistine, but it must be managed by the trading venue."
The question asked by Yu Wenwen had already been thought about by Di Jun, "The meaning of the lower officials is to let the government-run philistines replace those spontaneous philistines, of course, these philistines can go to the trading venue to work as traders." ”
"At the same time, the government can record the transaction amount and collect taxes based on the transaction amount, expanding the tax source."
Speaking of this, Di Jun was afraid that Yu Wenwen would not be able to react if he was too winding, and added: "In fact, it is necessary to bring philistines and transactions into the jurisdiction of the government, but this requires setting up positions and having official status." ”
The idea is very good, but Yu Wenwen can still find a flaw: "Official identity? It is impossible to be an official, that is, a official, so that the trader wants to enter the official's household? Generations are philistines, and no one may want to. ”
"If so... What if the government and these traders are only employed? ”
"That has to be approved by the imperial court, otherwise it will be difficult to continue with a change of chief official..."Yu Wenwen sighed.
The exchange, a commonplace institution in later generations, is somewhat nondescript in today's era, and the government wants to set up an exchange, so is there a "establishment" of relevant personnel?
If you are classified as an inferior household, it is equivalent to half an official slave, and when you meet an unscrupulous boss, it is easy to be ruined, so not everyone wants to be classified as a household.
For this question, Wei Dijun naturally couldn't answer it, but Yu Wenwen was very satisfied, because the other party found a possible problem and proposed a very operational solution.
This is the ability to do things, the main purpose of Yu Wenwen's previous question was to see how Di Jun's ability to do things is, and now it seems that it is not bad.
After talking about official business, the atmosphere was a little more relaxed, and Di Jun was a clerk in the Tiger Forest Army back then, and he was half of his own person, so Yu Wenwen was quite relaxed when he talked to him in private.
"What's the matter with the wound on your face?" (To be continued.) )
