Chapter 132: Normal Development
Early the next morning, Liang Sicheng found a house for Ming Jian, which was a pure wood house, covering an area of thousands of square meters, which looked pretty good.
After Ming Jian came with Wan Yan Wuji, he was very satisfied with this house.
"Wuji, you live here for the time being, and when the master comes back, I will pick you up. These maids are all here, and the master has left you twenty guards, so you can rest here in peace. Ming Jian helped Wan Yan Wujian to lie down and said.
Wanyan frowned and said: "Master can't, you need people around you, and it's okay to have a bell by your concubine's side." ”
Ming Jian smiled: "Rest assured, the pride of the heavens, you have the blessing of the gods." Ling'er, come here. ”
The maid Ling'er hurriedly came over and said, "Master, what do you command?" ”
"Ling'er, you are clever, serve well, let those Luzon women do anything, you can't leave half a step, you know?" Ming Jian commanded.
"The slave obeys." Ling'er said.
Ming Jian ordered Han Song, the leader of the guards, to come in, and ordered: "You must not relax your vigilance for twenty-four hours, and the blade will not leave your body, and if you encounter an enemy attack, you can open a killing ring." ”
"The little one obeys." Han Song said.
After Ming Jian settled down, he said to Liang Sicheng: "Old Liang, you bothered about this. Tomorrow, you will gather all the Song people here, prepare to establish the Great Song Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time call on the Song people to develop their relatives and friends to come to Luzon, strengthen the power of the Song people, and when the time is ripe, you will occupy Luzon and make Luzon an overseas territory of my Great Song Dynasty. ”
Liang Sicheng said: "What the big officials say is very good, and the old man will go and gather people." ”
Liang Sicheng's movements were fast and very hidden, and he quickly gathered hundreds of merchants in Luzon, and the next morning, the group came to Ming Jian's residence, and the darkness was overwhelming.
Ming Jian ordered people to guard the surroundings and forbade anyone to come and disturb them.
"Elder Liang, you are the first president, you can talk about it." Ming Jian smiled.
Liang Sicheng said: "The big official talent is what we rely on, so let's talk about the big official first." ”
Ming Jian smiled and said, "Okay then." ”
Looking at these Song people in a foreign land, Ming Jian sighed with emotion: "Fellow citizens, it is not easy for you to survive in this wild land, so we Song people must unite and unite with the outside world, so that we can develop and grow." The establishment of this Great Song Chamber of Commerce has this purpose, Luzon is rich in gold, but the materials are scarce, but my Great Song Dynasty is rich in materials, and it is very easy to earn gold. But the rulers of Luzon were tyrannical to our merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, which was really hateful. Therefore, the importance of the Great Song Chamber of Commerce is self-evident, it will protect your interests, liaise with the Luzon ministries externally, negotiate tax standards, protect your personal safety and economic interests, and adjust the material balance and price standards internally, so as to avoid market chaos. The Great Song Chamber of Commerce will set up a guard team, twenty people will come out first, you can choose to join or lead people in, the guard team is our Great Song Dynasty armed forces overseas, and the weapons in charge must be improved to a certain extent, enough to protect your safety. Finally, I hope that everyone in the Great Song Chamber of Commerce will put the interests of the country first, and no matter where they are, they will not betray the interests of the country, otherwise, they will be regarded as traitors and will be executed! Okay, Mr. Liang, it's time for you to say a few words! ”
After Ming Jian finished speaking, he left the space to Liang Sicheng.
And the Song people were all mobilized by Ming Jian's words, and with the Great Song Chamber of Commerce, everyone has a backbone, and it is no longer like in the past, a plate of scattered sand.
Everyone is not less angry in Luzon, and in the words of Ming Jian, it is necessary to form an arm, so won't you be able to avoid bullying in the future?
Liang Sicheng continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, what the big officials said is very reasonable, I have been overseas for a long time, although we have made a lot of money, but we are always treated as alien conservative bullying, pay more taxes than others, if we are not careful, we will be robbed of money and life, our female dependents are often robbed by Luzon, therefore, in order to live a better life, we must be self-reliant!" The Great Song Chamber of Commerce will shoulder this mission, the big officials have taken out a thousand taels of silver as this year's dues, you will pay the dues according to each one hundred taels, this dues, will be used for the expenses and turnover costs of the Chamber of Commerce, set up a special person to keep and monitor, you can now elect the custodian and monitor! ”
Although Liang Sicheng is the chairman, he knows that this financial is not suitable for him to concurrently serve, and in order to avoid suspicion, he must elect financial and auditor personnel.
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately started to talk about it, Mingjian's family gave 1,000 taels, and the other members gave 100 taels each, which was also very fair, and when they came to Luzon to do business, each family took out 100 taels, and there was no problem.
A young man stood up and said: "Grandfather of the Liang family, this big official, you said it very well, I heard that our Great Song Dynasty has become strong under the leadership of the official family, and our Song people overseas must not lose the face of the official family!" This chamber of commerce, I, Chen Changshui, joined, this is a hundred taels of silver, I paid it! ”
"I, Nie Cheng, also join!"
"I'm joining!"
......
All the people were willing to join, and soon a ceramic merchant named Ge Shanfeng was selected to be the treasurer, and another person named Chu He was selected to do the audit.
And the escort team soon added ten more young men, plus twenty people led by Han Gang, for a total of thirty people.
In the next few days, the system of the Chamber of Commerce also came out, and the entire Chamber of Commerce began to operate at high speed.
The first thing the Chamber of Commerce completed was to negotiate with Heiqiu, but Ming Jian didn't care, but after Liang Sicheng came back, his face was very good-looking.
"Great official, this black begging has agreed to our request, and in the future, the taxes of our Song people will be according to sixty taxes and one, now that is good, we will definitely be able to prosper!" Liang Sicheng said.
Ming Jian also nodded, sixty taxes and one, this is indeed a very low tax rate, it seems that this black request is still good.
However, Heiqiu should also know about the affairs of the Great Song Chamber of Commerce, and also saw the changes in the Chamber of Commerce, Heiqiu should know that once it is tough, then it is estimated that no tax will be collected.
Watching the normal development of the Great Song Chamber of Commerce day by day, Ming Jian was finally relieved.
On the tenth day of his arrival in Luzon, half of the goods brought by Ming Jian were sold, and a lot of gold was collected. Tea and porcelain are the best, and silk is also sold.
Wanyan Wuyan's condition also improved, and Ming Jian decided to continue his departure.
After some explanation, Ming Jian let go of his reluctant face and embarked on the voyage to continue the expedition.
