Jiang Hexing saw that although everyone was discussing for a long time, the response was not positive, and he looked at the bolder Du Pont and said, "Mr. Du, come and tell me, what do you think about this?" ”

Dupont stood up again, saluted the river, and said, "And the king, I understand what you mean. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Xianwu City's affairs, from now on, Pingzhou Mansion does not directly intervene, but let us do it ourselves, right? ”

Jiang Hexing nodded.

Dupont continued: "In this case, of course we businessmen are willing to take over, if nothing else, for the sake of business to be better and better." Pingzhou Mansion has always looked down on businessmen, and never cares what clothes businessmen wear or what kind of houses they live in. It is said that we should all be content, but people, always have this, just think about that.

Although Pingzhou Mansion looks up to businessmen, it is not a businessman after all. What a businessman wants, what he wants is the opportunity to make money. What Pingzhou Mansion wants is taxes, stable public security, and the people of Xianwu City to live and work in peace and contentment.

But you said that you want to set up this autonomous council, and you want us to manage Xianwu City. To be honest, it's a great opportunity for businessmen, but we don't know the bottom of it.

Why don't you know the bottom of your heart, in the past, Pingzhou had a commercial law, and a chamber of commerce was established to enhance the status of businessmen and ensure the property of businessmen. But now, Hewang, what you do is to give businessmen the opportunity to become officials.

You also know that the Han Dynasty was a business because of officials, but we are completely reversed, but we have to be officials because of business. To be honest, I think it's pretty good now, and the government and businessmen are doing their jobs. If a businessman becomes an official, isn't it the same, and it is unfair to other merchants.

Therefore, I think this autonomous association will take its time, and now it is still necessary to take over Zheng San's position as soon as possible. ”

Li Xiaowen disagreed with this autonomous association, and when he heard that DuPont, who had always spoken with some weight among the merchants, he actually disagreed with Jiang Hexing's proposal, and immediately walked up to DuPont and said: "Mr. Du, you are still old and steady, not only does your speech have weight, but also thinks about many small businesses in Pingzhou, which is not easy." ”

At this moment, Qin Meng, who had never liked to talk, stood up and said, "He Wang, I have something to say." Mr. DuPont has a point, but I have my opinion. ”

Jiang Hexing looked at this silk merchant from Luoyang, nodded at him and said, "Mr. Qin, you just say it." ”

Qin Meng continued: "You may not know that my family has been in the silk business for many years, and it can be regarded as accumulating a little money. Our family has been in business for generations, although we have accumulated some money and bought a lot of land, and more importantly, our ancestors have left a lot of lessons. The most important thing is to be a man with his tail between his legs, and never go against the government.

After listening to the sincerity of what He Wang said just now, I thought about it, if Xianwu City could be managed by merchants autonomously, Xianwu City would be at least twice as prosperous as it is now, and its tax revenue would be more than twice as much as it is now in the future.

However, I have some problems, and if these problems are not solved, I think it will be difficult for this autonomous association to play a real role.

Although the Autonomous Council is autonomous, it is still under the rule of the Pingzhou government, and it will not be able to escape the jurisdiction of Pingzhou after all. Today with the king an idea, the Autonomous Council can be formed. If one day, the king is not happy, he can cancel the autonomy. We don't have any confidence in our hearts, huh?

Besides, since the Han Dynasty issued an order from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, how many merchants have been ruined and how many families have been displaced. Now that Wang Mang has given an order, we have to obediently hand over the land, and if we don't hand it over, we may be in trouble. After all, it's not the above sentence, when will we be able to speak for ourselves? ”

Speaking of this, Qin Meng looked at Jiang Hexing with some trepidation.

Jiang Hexing was full of spring breeze, and encouraged him with a smile: "Mr. Qin, just say it, if you have any ideas, you can explain it thoroughly. ”

Qin Meng looked at Jiang Hexing and continued: "Hewang, then I will be presumptuous, if you are not satisfied with what I said, you will not say it to me." We are all businessmen, and everything is a business, so we might as well see this autonomy as a business. Xianwu City paid taxes to the Pingzhou Mansion in exchange for the Pingzhou Mansion to let go. Since the two parties are business, they need to be equal, otherwise the business cannot be done. ”

As soon as Qin Menggang said this, he was about to continue speaking, Li Xiaowen immediately stood up, slapped the table, and with a "snap", the eyes of the entire conference room drifted to Li Xiaowen.

Li Xiaowen pointed at Qin Meng with his hand, trembling a little, and said after a while: "Presumptuous, Qin Meng, you have to know your identity, what is equality, what do you mean, do you want to rebel?" How much I treat businessmen in Pingzhou, you should know it in your heart, but it's good, you really make money too comfortably, right? Forgot who you are? ”

Qin Meng is really a man, he looked at Li Xiaowen unhurriedly and said: "Director Li, I know who I am, my family has been in business for generations, how to deal with the government, I don't know how many times I have heard it in my heart." However, today I am talking to the king that we want to show military autonomy, but this autonomy must have some prerequisites, otherwise who dares to do this autonomy, we must always speak thoroughly in advance. Just now, the king has asked me to speak. If no one has said it, I'm afraid of disappointing the good intentions of Hewang, right? ”

Jiang Hexing waved his hand at Li Xiaowen and said: "Xiaowen, we have a meeting today, we can say anything, if we don't put the problem out, how can we solve the problem?" ”

Li Xiaowen saw Jiang Hexing say this, so he had to sit down, and said to himself: "Hmph, you have a premise, and I will talk about my premise later." ”

Jiang Hexing smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaowen, let Mr. Qin finish his words first, and then you can talk?" ”

Li Xiaowen nodded.

Jiang Hexing smiled at Qin Meng and said, "Mr. Qin, keep talking, the speaker is not guilty, you can say anything." ”

Qin Meng saluted Jiang Hexing again: "King He, I just said, I regard this matter as a business, we and the Pingzhou Mansion are doing this business, and the buyer and seller should be equal, otherwise this business will not be possible." You want you to take a knife to my store to buy silk, such as 1000 yuan of silk, you give me 100 yuan, and you may not give money, I have to sell it to you. That's the inequality, because you take a knife and come to buy silk. It was said to be buying silk, but in fact it was robbery, but I couldn't do anything. ”

Jiang Hexing said: "Qin Meng, what do you mean, is it that you should also sell silk with a knife?" ”

The crowd laughed.

Qin Meng said with a serious face: "Hewang, that's exactly what I mean." If the silk buyer has a knife, of course I must also carry a knife as a silk seller, otherwise I will not be able to do this business at all. Again, that's what I'm going to say about your proposal today. It is not difficult for us to set up an autonomous association, but if everyone does not have the means to protect themselves, it is not much interesting to establish this autonomous association. ”

Li Xiaowen couldn't sit still any longer, slapped the table again, and with a snap, the whole room looked at him again to see what he was going to say. (To be continued.) )
