(Today the first chapter is delivered, asking for support.) ）

Everyone was a little embarrassed for a moment, but they also knew that what he said was the truth, so they had to nod awkwardly.

"Everyone, you are guarding the golden rice bowl and asking for food!" Lian Zining's voice suddenly raised: "Everyone in Linqingzhou, Dongchang Mansion, Shandong knows, right?" It was originally a barren land, surrounded by wasteland and graves, and birds didn't poop! What are people now? Known as Suzhou and Hangzhou in the north, there are 100,000 rich households, millions of households, and the luxury is incomparable, and the boats parked on the Grand Canal stretch for ten miles every day, what kind of situation is that? It's just a state of land, and it has surpassed Jinan Mansion and become the richest territory of Shandong's political envoys! ”

"Why? It is because of the opening of a Grand Canal, the opening of a Cao Yun, and the setting up of a banknote customs! That's all! ”

Lian Zining took a deep breath: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Grand Canal is just a communication between the north and the south, and our official road Liu Town is accessible in all directions, I dare to say that the traffic in the official road Liu Town is more convenient than that of Linqing, and the passenger flow is not small." I sat at the door for three hours today, counting carefully. A total of thirty-seven caravans have passed, and I don't know how many merchants and carriages of a single volume of carriages! Count these people, Liu Lao, I'm afraid that your store won't be able to fit it! ”

What Lian Zining said frightened everyone, everyone in Linqingzhou knows about it, where is the first-class prosperity in the north? However, according to what the adults say, we can be similar to Linqingzhou one day?

Everyone looked at each other a few times, and finally Liu Lao, who was still highly respected, stood up and bowed to Lian Zining and said, "What the adults said is extremely true, but there is nothing you can do!" That's how I'm used to it. ”

When he spoke, he said, "It's not because I can't keep the guests!" ”

"We are only an hour's journey from the capital, and those caravans and merchants all set off from the capital early in the morning, even if they are blocked at the city gate for a while, when they arrive here, it is only the middle of the hour, and it is not yet noon, so people will naturally not eat and rest here, let alone stay overnight."

Lian Zining suddenly said lightly: "If I can find a way to let them stay!" ”

"If people don't keep themselves, can you still force them to stay? Joke! The boss who spoke answered the conversation instinctively replied, and suddenly woke up to who he was talking to, and quickly shrank his neck, not daring to speak again.

Lian Zining was not angry, just looked at them and repeated very seriously: "Everyone, I can let them stay!" ”

"Here, there is a plan, let's talk about it first." Lian Zining turned his head to Liu Lao and said, "Liu Lao, if your inn is to be sold, how much silver will it cost?" ”

Liu Lao didn't expect him to ask this question coldly, thought about it, and said: "If it is sold, the inn land plus the contract of the guy, two thousand taels of silver will also be sold, but this inn has been in business for a lifetime, but he doesn't dare to make a move no matter what." ”

Lian Zining shook his head: "Old Liu, your inn is too small, if a large number of past merchants move in, it will not be enough at all." ”

Liu Lao blinked his old eyes, and said in his heart, the problem is that the store has never been full since my father opened this inn? But the problem is that what Lian Zining said is conclusive, but he can't believe it. I have to say that compared with the era when credit was scarce, the reputation of the Ming Dynasty's political axe was still deep-rooted and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the people almost believed what the government said.

Otherwise, Emperor Chongzhen later killed Yuan Chonghuan, and the people of Beijing bought Yuan Chonghuan's meat from the executioner to eat to vent their hatred, because in their minds, what the government said was always right, the emperor said that Yuan Chonghuan was a big villain and a traitor, then Yuan Chonghuan must be a big villain traitor.

So Liu Lao's heart also rose a little hope, could it be that Liu Zhen, the official road, can really become what the adults say?

"This official plans to establish a chamber of commerce, and all of you here have your own industries, and your industries will be converted into silver taels at the market price, and you will have shares in this chamber of commerce. All of you here already include all the industries of the entire Guandao Liu Town, so the newly built Chamber of Commerce will control all the transactions of the Guandao Liuzhen! The official will inject a large amount of cash into the Chamber of Commerce, and when the time comes, there will be a situation, for example, due to too many guests, the inn needs to be rebuilt, and Liu Lao can't come up with the money, when this happens, the cash within the Chamber of Commerce will work. ”

When everyone heard this, their color suddenly changed, in this era, they pay special attention to industry, even if their own inn can only sell for eight hundred taels of silver, he will never sell it if you pay one thousand taels, because he thinks that there is such an industry to pass on, which is worthy of the ancestors and descendants. On the contrary, it is cash silver, which is not so reliable. Lian Zining's move is clearly a blatant encroachment on everyone's property, and can you expect him to pay a fair price?

Lian Zining saw that everyone's faces were not good-looking, so he explained: "Everyone can rest assured, this industry is just a discount, and the ownership is still in the hands of everyone, and you are still the shopkeeper in these stores." This can be guaranteed by the official, and he can also make a written statement. ”

When everyone heard this, their faces eased down, but they couldn't figure it out, what was this adult doing? Do you give money to the big guys for nothing?

"The reason why such a chamber of commerce was established was to unite the resources of the whole town, human, material and financial resources, everything. The official saw that there are three restaurants in the town, and these three restaurants, in order to snatch that little bit of business, must have lowered the price of each other, and in the end, everyone's profits were very thin, this point, the official is not wrong, right? ”

A few of the bosses nodded.

"After the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, this kind of thing does not exist, all the restaurants, inns, cart shops, all the things under the Chamber of Commerce are the same price, no matter where those merchants are, they are all the same. In this way, it can effectively avoid the competition of evil surnames, resulting in everyone having no money to make in the end. ”

At this point, when everyone's hearts go up, they all nod their heads.

"Finally, there's one more point." Lian Zining smiled and showed his fangs: "Since the Chamber of Commerce has been formed, then everyone is the owner of the Chamber of Commerce, for example, Liu Laoyou, you are not only the owner of Liu Ji Inn, but also the owner of Wang's car shop, and the owner of Zhao Ji Jufu Building, everyone is the owner of all stores." Therefore, in the future, the balance of each store for a day cannot fall into their own hands, but must be handed over, and then distributed uniformly according to the number of shares of each person! ”
