Chapter 258: The Royal Peace

The drought did not have much impact on Taipingfang, because of its own positioning and the strong background behind it, so no one dared to come here to cause trouble.

Although the merchants are just merchants, some of the things they did before also made Li Yuanji very dissatisfied.

But for the sake of interests, and also think about it, Li Yuanji also felt that he didn't need to be angry with these businessmen.

What's more, we need to rely on these businessmen next.

If you want to develop the agricultural Datang into a comprehensive Datang in the five directions of agriculture, commerce, industry, science and technology, and soldiers, some things cannot be done more absolutely.

Luo Chen, who has been away for a few months, returned to Taipingfang this time, and what he had on his head was a more formal name.

As soon as he returned, Luo Chen held a business meeting of all merchants in his initial office area, and the owners of all merchants must participate, even if they can't come, they must be attended by a descendant of their descendants.

The bustling crowd, Nima is also sitting in danger, and the news about the reform of Taipingfang has long been rumored.

However, Nima is not worried about this matter.

Because he went to the Western Regions and fulfilled Li Yuanji's entrustment to himself, he not only knew the next reform plan of Taipingfang, but also determined a fixed quota, no matter how they fought and grabbed, Nima's position was always unable to run away.

There are many merchants in Taipingfang, with different identities, including ordinary merchants who have been in business for many years and have a little capital, as well as some powerful landlords, and there are also several major families involved.

The sons and grandsons of the family did not come, or were restricted by identity issues, and only came as housekeepers in charge of business.

Tea is the most ordinary tea, some people secretly muttering about the door, and some people feel that it doesn't matter.

Time passed little by little, and Luo Chen was finally late, still holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, as if it was very important.

But in fact, everyone basically knows about the reform.

So many proprietors put down their things to participate in this so-called meeting, first, they dare not come, and second, it is profitable.

Luo Chen walked to the front, and the noisy sound below stopped instantly.

Spread out a few pieces of paper in his hand, there was no extra nonsense, and he said directly: "I believe that everyone has heard a lot of rumors outside recently, and I called everyone here today, mainly for this matter." Now some of the rumors out there are true, and some are not quite accurate. But whether it's accurate or not, I believe this is a good thing for everyone. ”

Hearing Luo Chen's declaration, many people below also showed satisfied smiles on their faces, but Wang Hui, the sister-in-law of the Wang family, always maintained a dignified expression on his face.

Since that incident, the life of the Wang family has not been very easy.

Li Yuanji went to the north, and his life was a little better, but the good times did not last long, and the Wang family of Nuoda had been isolated by several other families.

It's not that they do it, it's just that they don't help each other anymore when they have something, and they are not as close as before.

This is also the reason why Wang Hui came in person, the Wang family also wanted to improve the relationship with Li Yuanji, but they never found the opportunity.

"First of all, the first thing is a comprehensive rectification of Taipingfang, the purpose is to make Taipingfang more distinctive, highlight our brand effect, and make everyone think of consumption as much as possible, and the first thing that comes to mind is our Taipingfang."

'Hiss......'

Many people gasped, Luo Chen didn't say how to rectify the law, but with the emperor's golden signboard behind it, Taipingfang's business is unlikely to plummet, and it is even more unlikely that the government will strictly monitor Taipingfang. And as long as the name is played, not to mention that everyone comes here to consume, even if one percent of the people in Chang'an come here, the money earned will go to the sea.

No one would be stupid enough to doubt the authenticity of Luo Chen's words, or that sentence, with Li Yuanji in the background, it is difficult for Taipingfang to remember.

"The second thing is actually a supplement to the first thing, in order to make the peace square more formalized, leave a better impression on customers, and be easier to manage. In addition, there is another meaning in this matter. I'm sure smart merchants have guessed something! Speaking of this, Luo Chen paused slightly and continued:

"The Taipingfang was established by His Majesty, from scratch, from existence to the present, His Majesty has poured too much effort into the mortuary. Now, according to the situation on the side of the imperial court, His Majesty intends to separate the expenses of the imperial family from the treasury. In other words, from today onwards, Taiping Square will be a signboard of the royal family, and the income will also be the source of future expenses for the royal family. In addition, all the properties belonging to His Majesty will be reformed in a similar way, and our Taiping Fang will also be officially renamed the Royal Taiping Fang. The Royal Pacific, like other royal enterprises, is part of the Royal Business Group. ”

"What...... What the? Wang Hui, whose face was full of confusion, stood up in shock in an instant, unable to believe what he had just heard. This...... The royal family is directly involved in business? ”

Although Taipingfang is Li Yuanji's, everyone knows it, but Li Yuanji rarely directly intervenes in this matter, and everything is also operated by Luo Chen.

In addition to being famous, the mode of operation is almost exactly the same as that of the family, which is to elect an agent to take care of things outside.

But now, with the launch of Royal Peace, the Royal Business Group, this means that Royal has officially stepped into the front of the stage from behind the scenes.

Merchants are lowly workers, and their status is equal to or even inferior to the lowest commoners, which is why many peasants would rather starve to death than engage in business.

Brainless for the time being, are there so many people in the country who don't have brains?

"Yes, Your Majesty feels that the current hierarchical model of taxi, agriculture, industry, and commerce can no longer meet the existing needs, and after so many years, it is time to make changes. Commerce is not a cheap industry, but an industry that can promote the development of the whole country, and its contribution is no less than that of agriculture, so His Majesty decided to set an example and prop himself up in front of everyone to protect everyone from the wind and rain. Luo Chen explained calmly.

Discuss?

Leave it to the outside to discuss it yourself, you are still busy, how can you have the time to wait here for you to discuss?

The rules of the scholar hierarchy greatly restricted the commercial development of the Tang Dynasty.

The greatest advantage of the development of commerce is that it can bring huge income to the imperial court, and in addition to these incomes, it is also easier for merchants from the south to the north to circulate goods from all over the world, thus making commerce more intense.

As long as there is competition, even if there is no need for the imperial court to push behind them, the merchants will choose to change themselves, rather than copying the old model to guard.

Just like in the future, if we have been in the era of economic planning, what will be the difference between what is the difference between today and a few decades ago? In just 30 years of reform and opening up, the country has undergone earth-shaking changes and has become the world's second largest economy.

Although the current conditions are not as good as those of the later generations, they are not much worse, except for transportation.

If you have money, you can raise soldiers, if you have money, you can promote more things, if you have money, you can make the people's lives happier, and if you have money, you can engage in education.

Although it is a bit nonsense, it has been proved that educated soldiers will be more loyal after brainwashing, while uneducated soldiers have always pursued the creed that having milk is a mother.

As for the question of whether Datang will not fall, it can be done by making the right changes at the right time.

"Let's talk about the third thing, after the rectification of the Royal Peace, will become a new whole, its operating model, the scale of operation will also be readjusted, the first change is the current rental model, everyone's lease agreement will expire in half a year, after expiration, will all change to the commission model, that is, no longer charge rent and management fees, will be in accordance with the different industries, different profits, different proportions of sales commission. Earn more, smoke more, earn less, smoke less.

Of course, we will not only hold this one Taipingfang, but also plan to build three more Taipingfang in various places in the next five years, and we have already had a preliminary site positioning and plan. Next year, a branch will be opened in Luozhou, a branch in Hubei will be opened in two to three years, and a branch will be opened in Yangzhou within three to five years.

All of you who have signed the contract are all part of us, and wherever you open your shop, your store will also open.

We take into account that some businesses may not have the ability to operate remotely, especially the headache of the transportation of goods, so we also plan to establish a transportation support team at the beginning of next year, when it will be Chang'an or Luozhou as the center, where the goods are needed, we can directly hand over to the transportation team, and the transportation team only charges a profit higher than the cost. At the same time, it will also be guaranteed by the insurance department, so you can rest assured that the safety of the goods will be safe. ”

In ancient times, even the Maison could not have managed to spread the commerce so loosely, and the cost of transportation was prohibitively high, although the profits were also considerable.

However, the risks on the way were too difficult to control, and the insurance department only promoted the underwriting business for a period of time at the beginning, but then cancelled this type of insurance, causing long-distance transportation to fall into the trough again.

If a unified transportation team is really established, the merchants are still very happy, especially if they only charge a profit of one percent more than the cost, which is simply a good thing for nothing.

You must know that the price of things from Chang'an is not the same when they are shipped to Luozhou, and it is even more expensive when they are shipped to places like Yangzhou.

The only thing that makes them a little dissatisfied is why should the good lease system be changed to a commission system? According to the current situation, the rent and management expenses for a year are not even one percent of their income.

Taiping Fang is completely an old hen that lays golden eggs.

The reason why no one spoke out against it is because it is useless to oppose it, this matter must not be done by Luo Chen, the emperor of the other people will help you shelter from the wind and rain, and you will not do it if you give a little commission? In that case, maybe you can only say goodbye, there are many people outside who want to come in, and there is no shortage of you.
