Regulations on the Administration of Public Security in the Development of the Beiji Business District in Haixi County.

On Zuo Bo's paper, such a large seal is written.

Everyone's hearts couldn't help but chuckle. I've heard about this weird thing for a long time, and everyone has been trying to inquire about its contents. But when such a beautiful piece of Zuobo paper was placed in front of them, everyone felt uneasy. What's in it? Deng Ji made such a big move, presumably it would not be a simple thing.

Nine Haixi County businessmen, take a deep breath and read carefully.

In fact, this is a synthesis similar to the industry norms and market norms of later generations.

It shows the government's attitude that it will never suppress or inhibit the development of Haixi commerce, and is willing to give Haixi merchants a certain degree of social status. However, the commerce of Haixi must be jointly controlled by guilds and the government. If something happens to the merchants, the Haixi County government can coordinate in an official capacity; But if the government needs the help of the merchants, the merchants must also fulfill their duties.

At the same time, the regulations stipulate that the current industries in Haixi County, such as the gold market, rice market, wood work, and cloth village, need relevant guilds in the city to protect local commercial development. If there is a conflict between the guilds and the guilds, they are resolved by the government. In the event of an invasion of commerce, the guild must take responsibility for protecting the local commerce. For example, if there are some people who try to maliciously inflate the market price, then the guild must unite its members to fight back, suppress, assist the county government, and maintain the stability and development of Haixi County...... The concept of guilds was born in the Sui and Tang dynasties, flourished in the Song and Song dynasties, and declined in the Qing dynasty.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the guild had not yet emerged. However, handicrafts and commerce have begun to have a trend of development, and cross-regional business behaviors have also emerged. Although the status of the merchants has not been improved, they have begun to actively participate in social behavior.

For example, Weizi, who funded Cao Ying at the beginning, was a big businessman.

In addition, there are Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, who funded Liu Bei, and the Elk Zhu Elfang brothers who later joined Liu Bei in Xuzhou, all of whom were born in businessmen.

Cao Peng proposed the concept of guilds to Deng Ji, and based on some experience of later generations, he restrained and managed the North Bazaar. According to Cao Peng's idea, he hoped to use this method to win over those businessmen and form a large enough network of interests.

In fact, behind every big family, there are huge interests behind it.

This relationship of interest also has a regional surname and an exclusive surname, and to some extent, it is quite similar to the surname of the guild...... For example, the Chen family of Guangling, the Kuai family of Jingxiang, the Lu family of Lujiang, and the whole family.

These families all have huge business networks, and even the current Ming and Han generals Sun Ce and Sun Bofu are also wealthy businessmen.

Cao Peng didn't speak, took a sip of water, and closed his eyes.

After reading this regulation, the businessmen looked at each other one by one. It is undeniable that although Haixi is now prosperous in business, it lacks a standardized management. In addition, the imperial court's suppression of merchants also discriminated against merchants in the law.

"Cao Gongzi ......"

Huang Cheng stabilized his mind and opened his mouth to ask a question.

saw Cao Peng open his eyes, waved his hand, and interrupted his words.

"Everybody sees?"

"Uh, I see......"

"Any questions?"

"The villain has a question, what does this admission qualification mean?"

"The so-called access qualification is to review and investigate the reputation of the business. Businesses with a bad reputation must be investigated. If you do not meet the qualifications, you will not be allowed to enter the North Bazaar...... This is done in order to improve the business credibility of the North Bazaar and encourage more people to come and trade. Of course, if you have a good reputation, you can make a lot of money. ”

As he spoke, Cao Peng picked up a roll of bamboo slips from the dining table.

"This is a record of the North Market in the past year or so.

Oh, this is thanks to the dead ghost Chen Sheng, he recorded it in great detail...... In the past year, there have been 66 cases of fraud in the North Market, including 17 cases of goods exceeding 100,000 yuan. As a result, many of the guests, after being deceived, either committed suicide or did not set foot in Hercy. If, I mean, if one merchant can bring ten merchants to Hercynian, then a hundred Hercynian people will be able to get jobs...... In other words, in the past year, 1,700 Haixi people in Haixi County lost their jobs. Behind every unemployed person is a family of three, that is, 5,100 people are at risk of starvation or displacement.

Zhugong, 5,100 people, accounts for almost 60% of the total population of Haixi...... Phew, when I see this number, I can't help but feel terrified. ”

Not only Cao Peng expressed his shock, but also the businessmen present were also a little shocked.

Cao Peng's data is obviously inaccurate, but there is some truth in it.

"Therefore, the standardization of the North Bazaar is imperative. Don't look at the prosperity of Haixi now, but in fact, there are many hidden crises.

The establishment of the access system is to standardize the environment of the North Market. A good business environment can enable Haixi to gain more development opportunities. The better the development of Haixi, the higher the status and status of the princes. The higher the status of the princes, the more money they can earn. The more money you earn, the better the reputation of Haixi...... In short, this is a cycle of good surnames. You can look forward to Haixi County, which may one day become the largest commercial market in the east......"

In his previous life, Cao Peng was a criminal policeman.

But in a society that is completely dominated by economic development, I still know a lot of economic terms.

In addition, the case he cracked at that time involved a wide range. In the process of solving the case and tracking it, Cao Peng also benefited a lot.

These words, like a drop of water, fell into the oil pot and suddenly boiled.

Most of the commercial activities in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were still some rudimentary forms. The word honesty is indeed a must for businessmen, but when it comes to the perfection of theory, Cao Peng, a half-way monk, really gave everyone a vivid lesson. Regulate the market, establish the credibility of the city, and promote the development of the entire Haixi commercial development from point to point, and thus generate huge benefits...... Industry norms, market norms...... One new term after another entered the ears of everyone, producing a huge mortal sound.

To be honest, at the beginning of the banquet for Cao Peng, these businessmen did not take Cao Peng in their eyes.

What can a fourteen-year-old baby do? If it weren't for the fact that he had a good brother-in-law, he probably wouldn't be anything now. However, the unique design concept of Feiyang Pavilion began to generate some recognition for them. Then Cao Peng showed a ruthlessness beyond his age in dealing with Ye Bei. Just one sentence made the Ye family ruined, this kind of, I can't afford to offend!

As a result, awe arose in people's hearts.

And now, Cao Peng has planned a beautiful blueprint for them...... Huang Quan asked, "Then ...... this access qualification?"

"Qualifications must be reviewed annually, and each review must be approved by the guild and the government. Every merchant who enters the North Bazaar must pay an administrative fee to the government. And according to the transaction quota of the merchant, the transaction tax is generated, which is included in the treasury ...... At the same time, the guild had to pay an administration tax to the government every three months...... Well, I don't think I need to explain these expenses. ”

The taxes in the Han Dynasty were very heavy, but like Cao Peng, there was no naked collection.

The shopkeeper stammered and asked, "This, this management tax, what's going on?" ”

"Well, it's a tax to maintain law and order in the North Bazaar and ensure the interests of the public. Let's put it this way, I still have an account here, and I will tell you about it. In fact, we all know what the princes are doing openly and secretly. For example, Huang Shopkeeper, you handled a batch of Yunjin in February last year, saying that you bought it from Wu County, but sold it to the Xiapi Zhou family at a low price. Where did that batch of cloud brocade come from? ”

Huang Quan's face suddenly turned pale and stammered, not knowing how to answer.

"Actually, we all know that I don't want to investigate, but just to illustrate the complexity of the merchants in the North Market.

The merchants of the North Bazaar are mixed, and it is difficult to tell the origin clearly.

If you meet someone who understands things, it's okay to say! If you are the kind of unreasonable person, it is inevitable that there will be forced buying and selling, and even cause conflicts. The impact is not something I want to see. This management tax is to prevent these unreasonable people from making trouble and affecting everyone's business...... Good question! How to manage it? We also came up with countermeasures...... From Ming Dynasty onwards, the Cao Peng Office will be set up in the North Bazaar and incorporated under the rule of Haixi Fa Cao. The Cao Peng Department will recruit a number of manpower to be led by a special person to inspect the bazaar.

As long as it is found that the merchants violate the rules and regulations, or those who pick quarrels and provoke trouble in the market, the Cao Peng Department will be responsible for dealing with it...... This Cao Peng Agency, I initially planned to recruit 100 people to inspect the North Market day and night. Whenever you encounter difficulties or problems, you can report them to the government or guild through Cao Peng's office, the governor's office, or the guild...... In short, the management tax is used for the establishment of the Cao Peng Agency. In the end, the management tax paid by the princes will be a lot of money, and it will be used on the princes. This can be regarded as taking from the people and using it for the people. ”

After Cao Peng's explanation, everyone nodded.

That's right, due to the complexity of the people in the North Bazaar, there are often accidents.

If the background of the merchant is stronger, such as the previous Chen Shengzhi and others, they can deal with it by themselves, but they will inevitably be suspected of being overbearing; If you don't have a background, you will be more unlucky, and there will be no one to call the shots for them, so you can only solve the problem on your own.

If you are lucky, you will be ruined.

If luck is bad, it's not a matter of a little bit of money.

For this situation, everyone here empathizes.

Cao Peng took a sip of water, spread his hands outstretched, and put them on the dining table.

"That's what it's like it, that's what it's all about. If you agree, you can sign it, and if you don't, you can leave now. I'll give three days, though. Within three days, withdraw from Haixi, otherwise Ye Bei's fate will be a lesson from the past.

Heicy, I think it's very good, it's very interesting.

Now I want everyone to do this with me, and everyone will make money together.

Well, I've made the situation clear. Now, I have only one word, who is for and who against? ”
