Although it is nearly the end of the year, Pingzhou Mansion is becoming more and more lively, not people purchasing New Year's goods, but businessmen who show their strength. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info I don't know where I heard the rumors, and I want to hand over Xianwu City to the merchants. Some said that it was Yang Hong of the Chamber of Commerce, some said that he wanted Fan Jia, the father-in-law of Jiang Hexing, to take charge of Xianwu City, and some said that he would find a businessman from Chang'an. No matter how surprising the news sounds, people say it as if it's true.

Fan Jia didn't go back to Anwu for the New Year, so he stayed in Pingzhou Mansion and lived in Jianghe's house, giving people the appearance of victory. Jiang Hexing asked him privately, you are a merchant in Xianwu City, and you are only a merchant in Anwu City.

Who knows, Fan Jia is not embarrassed, but admits that although he does not do much business in Xianwu City, his business in Xianwu City is also very large, and of course he can be regarded as a businessman in County Wucheng. Jiang Hexing really can't say that he is not a merchant in Xianwu City for a while, so let's go back and let the businessman define it himself.

Two days later, Zheng Yi sent a letter to Jiang Hexing, it was Zhang Meng who finally arrived in Yaowu City, and stationed in Yaowu City, Jiang Hexing gave Zhang Meng an order to rest in Yaowu first, and wait for the spring of the next year, prepare an elite to escort Jiang Hexing to Chang'an.

Jiang Hexing appeased Zheng Yi again, asking him to put down his burden and do things with peace of mind, and Zheng Yi naturally desperately expressed his loyalty.

As soon as Zheng Yi left, Fan Jia actually brought a group of businessmen to the office office. Jiang Hexing thought to himself, this matter was originally planned to be discussed after the New Year, so knowing that these businessmen are so anxious, since this is the case, let's talk about it.

Jiang Hexing ordered people to hurriedly call Li Xiaowen, and the two presided over the meeting and talked with these businessmen.

When Li Xiaowen arrived, the conference room was noisy. Li Xiaowen went in and saw that Jiang Hexing was sitting in the middle, with a pen and paper in front of him, but he didn't write a word.

It turned out that the businessmen were making a mess by themselves, Li Xiaowen inquired, and it turned out that after Jiang He came in, let them talk about their views first.

I didn't expect that on this point of view, there would still be a lot of quarrel, some people agreed that the chamber of commerce would manage it by itself, and some people disagreed. The big businessmen wanted to manage it themselves, but the small businessmen disagreed, thinking that it was more reliable for the Pingzhou government to send people.

Li Xiaowen looked at the chaotic crowd, patted the table and said: "Calm down, calm down, if you continue to quarrel like this, I think we don't have to open it, you can quarrel with yourself first." ”

Most people know Li Xiaowen, and as soon as they saw him speak, they knew that it was time to get to the point, and immediately quieted down.

Li Xiaowen sat next to Jiang Hexing and said, "I don't know what you heard, now I can tell you that He Wang intends to let the Xianwu City Chamber of Commerce manage Xianwu." Today, you are all here, how about we first hear the opinion of the king? ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Jiang Hexing together, and Jiang Hexing looked at these merchants, and they basically knew each other. Fan Jiayi, Yang Hong, president of the Chamber of Commerce, Du Pont, who made cotton cloth, Qin Meng, who made silk, Kong brothers who made ironware, etc., the house was full of things. Each stretched their necks, waiting for Jiang Hexing's speech.

Jiang Hexing cleared his throat and said, "Today's meeting is fine, let's discuss it, and let's listen to each other's opinions." Let me start with my opinion.

First of all, Zheng San had an accident, you must all know about it. The interrogation is still ongoing, and I can't say how many problems will be found. I guess many of you have given him gifts, right?

As for this matter, I'll say it first, there is my fault in this, the rule is not strict, and there is also your fault. Of course, the main fault lies with me, and I would like to apologize to you first.

Second, as for your gift-giving, you know it in your own hearts, and I don't don't don't dig into it, which also violates my Pingzhou decree. Whoever of you gives it will be punished, and the number of gifts will be doubled, and it will also buy you a lesson. Of course, those who do not give gifts will not be punished. ”

Jiang Hexing said this, and there was silence below, and a few merchants kept wiping their sweat, with frightened expressions on their faces. The merchant, who had been elated, was like a frosted eggplant, wilting his head and bowing his head silently.

Jiang Hexing continued: "Zheng San had an accident, I was heartbroken, I thought about it, and there was no suitable candidate for a while. Come to think of it, it's also a good idea to let you manage yourself.

Why do you want to manage yourself, let me talk about my opinion. It is said that it is managed by the Chamber of Commerce, but it is not a pure Chamber of Commerce, or it should be called an autonomous association.

What is the Autonomous Council, it is the institution managed by Xianwu City itself, and it is used to manage the affairs of Xianwu City. After all, Xianwu City is mainly engaged in commerce and trade, although there are a lot of workers and farmers, but after all, in reality, you still have a greater influence.

Therefore, I advocate the establishment of an autonomous council with the Chamber of Commerce as the main body. The affairs of Xianwu City are managed through the Autonomous Council, which appoints various personnel of Xianwu City, collects taxes from various merchants, is in charge of Pingzhou School, maintains local stability, and protects the lives of the people of Xianwu. ”

As soon as Jiang Hexing said this, Du Pont stood up and said, "King He, thank you for looking at the merchants in our Xianwu City. However, I would like to ask if there is a limit to the number of people in this autonomous association, and if this autonomous association is like a chamber of commerce, I don't think it will be able to accomplish anything. ”

Jiang Hexing said strangely: "Mr. Du, why do you say this? ”

Du Pont said: "He Wang, you have never done business, so naturally you don't know about our businessmen. My peers are enemies, I am now making cotton cloth, there is basically no competition, although the business is not very big, but I am also happy. In the past, no matter what business was done, there was money to be made, and everyone came to do it, and they fought each other fiercely. Now, if a businessman can enter this autonomous association, he will naturally spare no effort to do it for his own business, on the contrary, his opponent will be miserable, do you think he himself is half an official, and he is a businessman, how can others compete with him for business?

Our chamber of commerce meets on weekdays, and we rarely get anything serious done, we all talk a lot, and of course we can provide business opportunities to each other. However, the real big things are agreed upon by two or three people in private, and they are rarely done through the Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, I am worried that this autonomous council will be very similar to the chamber of commerce in the future. ”

Jiang Hexing nodded, the Chamber of Commerce doesn't say it's dispensable, at least the importance is far from being comparable to the Autonomous Association.

Jiang Hexing said: "I advocate that this autonomous association has several goals, first, to protect the interests of businesses, not only large businesses, but also small businesses.

Second, it can ensure the fairness and justice of your business.

Third, it can ensure that Pingzhou can receive the tax revenue of Xianwu City in full.

Fourth, it can protect the safety of everyone in Xianwu City, not just merchants.

Fifth, let Xianwu City build bridges, build roads, and build schools, and someone can take care of it. ”

Everyone may not understand what Jiang Hexing is going to do, for a while, there are many discussions, but no one dares to stand up and talk to Jiang Hexing about something useful. (To be continued.) )
