Chapter 61 Trade Regime
Zhao Jie turned around again, and then continued: "The trade of the field is strictly controlled by the government, the government can collect a large amount of commercial taxes here, can determine the types of trade commodities, can decide the opening and closing of the market, can obtain the right to price goods, can supervise all the trade commodities to prevent the smuggling of prohibited items, and can also win over the enemy's people and officials to answer the role of Anbian Suiyuan, in a word, the benefits of the field are many, and this is the main reason why the imperial court can authorize Pingcheng to open the field." ”
"Then how did the common people or merchants trade with the steppe people in the Pingcheng Field?" Someone interjected and asked.
"That's a straight question!" Zhao Jie praised it, and then continued to reply: "After the opening of the Pingcheng Rongchang, the trade rules will be implemented based on exploration trade, supplemented by free trade. This type of person has a priority in trade second only to the government, and can live in the field and wait for the arrival of the trade partner. ”
Zhao Jie paused and continued: "As for the people who go to the market spontaneously and the small merchants who do not hold the seal, they will need to settle the bond with other similar people, and whenever the number of people who have the guarantee reaches 10, the company will grant a temporary transaction seal. Such persons do not have the right of trade priority and are not allowed to stay in the market for a long time, and if any of the insured persons are found to have committed irregularities, the person who has made the insurance will be punished with confiscation of all property, and the violator will be fined or imprisoned. ”
"Can a merchant who has received a government seal have a trade seal permanently?" Someone else asked.
Zhao Jie smiled when he heard this, and then said: "This question is very good, I believe that businessmen everywhere must also be very concerned, today I will explain to you the points system launched by Pingcheng Rongchang, I hope you can clearly convey this system to the merchants under you." ”
"Gladly!" Everyone smiled and arched their hands.
"Thank you very much!" Zhao Jie returned the salute and continued: "The point system is a new system created to facilitate the management of the field. As we all know, credit is the foundation of business, and the government will grant every businessman who is new to the market a trade credit score of 100 points. Nearly 100 rules are set out in detail in the management plan, each of which will be given a corresponding score according to its importance, and the trader will be deducted from the corresponding trade credit score for each violation. If 100 points are deducted within the prescribed period, the trade seal will be withdrawn and the entry will be denied within three years. On the contrary, if the 100 points are not deducted within the specified period, the prescribed period will be extended, increasing by the pattern of 1 year, 3 years, 6 years, 10 years, and 15 years, and when the merchant does not deduct 100 points within the specified period of 15 years, he will receive a permanent trade seal, and it is worth mentioning that this permanent seal cannot be inherited. ”
"This system sounds good, in addition to being applied to trade management, it seems that some other aspects can also be copied!" Li Mu sighed after listening to Zhao Jie's words, and then raised a question that he was more concerned about: "Although I have never been involved in business, I also know that there are good and bad things. In the case of horses, there are two types of horses, such as healthy horses and horses, so how will the managers of the farms ensure that the buyers buy the corresponding horses at a reasonable price? ”
Zhao Jie organized the language in his mind, and then said: "The buying and selling of the market is mainly auctioned, that is, the seller presents the goods and multiple buyers bid for the competition, and the highest price wins, but when the price of the goods is higher or the estimated price of the managers of the first market is 10%, the transaction is traded at a price that does not exceed or is not lower than the estimated price and is closest to the estimated price, of course, the buyer does not know the estimated price in advance. This transaction method not only avoids the seller's malicious price increase, but also avoids the buyer's arbitrary price reduction, and the market also obtains an appraisal fee, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone. Of course, the market does not oppose or support the transaction between the two parties to enter into a transaction privately, but the market has no obligation to protect the rights and interests of the buyer or seller in the case of a private transaction. ”
"It's the first time I've heard of auctions, but the trade method should be very feasible and worth trying." Li Mu concluded with a deep sigh. After a pause, Li Mu continued: "Is there anything else you want to tell you?" ”
Zhao Jie shook his head, and then said: "That's almost it, if you still don't understand anything, just take a look at the plan, it's very detailed." ”
"The imperial court can authorize Pingcheng to take the lead in opening a field, which is not only the trust of my Yanmen County, but also the trust of your Pingcheng County, do a good job!" Li Mu said to Zhao Jie with a concerned expression: "In the future, the field will be an important source of tax for my Yanmen County, and it is destined to be inseparable from the protection of the army and the government. ”
Zhao Jie smiled bitterly, and secretly slandered in his heart: "I have been eyeing the profits of the field so quickly, and my vision is really refined." But he still had to answer: "Xie Junshou! ”
"You and I don't need to say thank you, it's all to serve the country and assist the king." Li Mu said modestly, and then announced with a smile: "This year's debriefing meeting is over!" You will keep up the good work and hope that you can do more for the benefit of the people in the coming year. ”
From spring to summer, everything went according to plan, such as the construction of the field, the renovation of the city, the recruitment of troops, the persuasion of agriculture, and the general affairs of the government...... One thing after another is busy, so that Zhao Jie, the county commander of Pingcheng County, is busy.
"Your Highness!" A shout woke Zhao Jie from his sleep, and Zhao Jie looked up and saw that it was Zhao Yin who had come to report again.
"What's going on again!" Zhao Jie tried to cheer up and asked slowly.
"A facility has been completed, and the soldiers and horses sent by the county guard have arrived in Pingcheng, and according to the original agreement, it is time for Ying Gongzi to go to the border field. This time, in addition to Ying Gongzi, there are also several of his henchmen and disciples who are accompanied by him, Your Highness, are you going to send one? Zhao Yin replied methodically.
"Send! Why not send it! He's doing something for me, what will others think if I don't go? Zhao Jie stood up and said word by word: "Take out the piece of Huang Ruyi in my treasury, package it and give it to him as a gift, and wish him all the best when he goes to the field." And some silver was set aside to reward the soldiers who came. ”
"No!" Zhao Yin responded when he heard this, and said, "Humble duty, let's do it!" After speaking, Zhao Yin quickly turned around and left.
