Chapter 180: In Business

The negotiations with the merchants have long ended, although Li Rupei wants to operate the business affairs in the mode after a thousand years, but unfortunately this does not work, there is no industry in this era, and commerce is greatly limited by agricultural production, to a certain extent, agriculture is everything, which also leads to the fact that commerce and trade in this era can not be valued by the imperial court and many officials.

Although there is no industry, Li Rupei will not despise commerce and trade, he turned his attention to the circulation comprehension, this era of commerce, the focus is still on the circulation of wealth creation, the government can also get huge benefits from it. Of course, if the government wants to obtain a large amount of money from commerce and trade, it needs to use the planned economic model after a thousand years to manage, that is, the power of the government to control the pricing of commodities, as well as the management of various circulation areas of commerce and trade, especially the strict control of agriculture.

Li Rupei still understands these simple economic principles, and it must play a very good role in managing today's commerce and trade with the business concepts that have basically matured after a thousand years, just like using the methods of army training accumulated over thousands of years to quickly train a strong army.

Zou Shiming and He Yugui, on behalf of some businessmen in Luoyang, negotiated with the government, which was also the first time they had experienced such a thing, but the shrewdness of the businessmen supported them, allowing them to keenly discover the mysteries and gradually put forward requirements during the negotiation process. And in the process of discussion, let their own interests be maximized.

But overall. Zou Shiming and He Yugui mostly listened to the arrangements of the government. Because in their opinion, the government can sit down and talk to them face-to-face, which is already a great sincerity.

Out of trust in Li Rupei, after returning to Luoyang, Zou Shiming and He Yugui made up their minds to move the industry to Liangzhou, and according to Li Rupei's suggestion, they would not completely give up their business in Luoyang, leaving some shops here. But the vast majority of the money will be transferred to Liangzhou.

The information between the businessmen is circulating rapidly, what Zou Shiming and He Yugui did was soon known by the vast majority of the businessmen, and the reactions of the people were different, and some of them were bold and decided to follow the two to Liangzhou, perhaps in Liangzhou can have a stable guarantee, can do business wholeheartedly, and more of a wait-and-see attitude is adopted. I want to see what the situation is after these people go to Liangzhou, if the situation over there is really good, the government will do what it says. Then they are also ready to go to Liangzhou to do business.

These actions of Shang Jia did not attract the attention of Kan Zeyu, who stayed in the Eastern Capital, and he did not care about business and trade. The reason why he went to Luoyang to stay in the eastern capital was actually for rank. This is just a place for him to transition, and his goal is to become a soldier squire. As long as he takes care of Tian Lingzi, it won't be long before he can return to the capital.

A month and a half after leaving Liangzhou, Zou Shiming, He Yugui and others came to Shannan West Road with a huge convoy.

What touched everyone was that they made the decision to settle in Liangzhou, Ma Haoxuan, who was in charge of business and trade affairs, actually sent five hundred iron-blooded soldiers to guard their safety along the road, plus many businessmen also hired some people to protect, so this road was very safe, without any harassment, which was unimaginable before, the soldiers were in chaos, especially after the Huangchao army ravaged many places in Henan, there were bandits everywhere, and they were such businessmen, but they were fat in the eyes of bandits.

After entering the state of Quanzhou, many businessmen felt a completely different situation.

There are no wandering homeless people here, let alone bandits whistling back and forth, there is an orderly scene everywhere, many farmers are busy in the fields, and from time to time you can meet officials in official uniforms, patrolling everywhere, and some officials even guide spring plowing matters in the fields.

The subtleties can reflect the atmosphere of a place, and this situation reassures many businessmen, at least they are doing business in Liangzhou, and they must be safe, and they will not be frightened, let alone worry about extortion and robbery.

In the team, there are also people sent by Luoyang businessmen, who specially observe the situation in Liangzhou, hearing is false, seeing is believing, these people observe very carefully, they need to provide detailed information for their masters, but their main task is to see what kind of business is like between Zou Shiming and He Yugui and others after they arrive in Liangzhou.

Liangzhou, the festival makes the yamen, the lobby.

Many businessmen from Luoyang gathered here, waiting for the summons of the prince.

Li Rupei entered the lobby with a smile on his face, he rarely works here, usually in the wing, but there are many businessmen, so he arranged to meet here.

Seeing Li Rupei come out, except for Zou Shiming and He Yugui, many people gasped, and while saluting, they secretly thought that it was really not easy for the prince to be so young and able to do so many big things.

"Ma Dianjun, all the businessmen have come to Liangzhou, everything has been arranged."

"Lord Wang, everything has been arranged, the shops have been implemented, the corresponding procedures are being handled, and in five days at most, many businessmen can start doing business."

Li Rupei smiled and nodded, and spoke in front of many businessmen.

"You have come from afar, all the way hard, Ma Dianjun on behalf of the Jiedu envoy Yamen, responsible for contacting you, come to Liangzhou, if there is anything unsuitable, find Ma Dianjun contact, the government can solve the matter, must be solved, a long time ago, the relationship between the government and you is interdependent, you do business according to the requirements of the government, the government is responsible for protecting your safety, so that you can rest assured to do business, if there is an official blackmail, the government must be severely punished."

"In business, doing business must be thinking about making money, whether you can make money, the government can't help you, it depends on your ability, I admire Zou Fengchi and He Mingyuan, two businessmen, who have done business to that extent, rich and rival the country, this is the real ability, I hope that Zou Shiming and He Yugui, two businessmen, can reach the height of your ancestors."

"But there are some words, a certain should also be said in the front, come to Liangzhou to do business, then according to the rules, in business and trade behavior, there must be competition, that is a very normal thing, the government will not interfere, but if someone maliciously competes, using despicable means to calculate others, once the government knows, it will definitely be severely punished."

"You make money in business, no matter how rich you are, even if you are rich enough to rival the country, the government will not be blushing, but you must also remember that you must pay taxes honestly and cannot hide the accounts, otherwise it will be difficult for you to bear the consequences."

Despite the large number of people, the lobby was very quiet, no one spoke, and everyone listened very carefully.

Li Rupei is the prince, saying such things, even Zou Shiming and He Yugui are a little strange, according to the identity of the prince, it is impossible to attach importance to many businessmen, only the businessmen are tied to the prince.

"I don't know much about business and trade, even if it is Ma Dianjun, who is in charge of business and trade transactions on behalf of the festival, he is not particularly familiar with business and trade matters, but many business behaviors need to be standardized, and special management is needed, otherwise they will fight for themselves, and it will be difficult to form a circle without rules, among the merchants, there has always been a chamber of commerce, and the role of the chamber of commerce is not ordinary.

"Jiedu makes the yamen allow you to set up your own chamber of commerce, coordinate the disputes between many merchants, Ma Dianjun on behalf of the Jiedu envoy Yamen, responsible for the jurisdiction of the chamber of commerce, in the future the scale of the chamber of commerce expanded, Shannan West Road many prefectures and counties in the city, all under the direct jurisdiction of the local government, has the power to coordinate the relationship between businessmen, the decision made by the chamber of commerce in this regard, is the decision made on behalf of the government."

"I don't approve of the layman's interference in insider affairs, since I don't understand business, then I have to learn more, I am dissatisfied with you said, Ma Dianjun is much more familiar than a person, in order to be able to manage Shannan West Road business affairs, Ma Dianjun is not ashamed to ask, learn a lot from you, can be said to be the authority of Shannan West Road business management, so you can rest assured that Ma Dianjun is an expert, qualified to manage business and trade."

"The festival has issued a document to the yamen, and the jurisdiction of commerce and trade in the future will be done in accordance with the requirements of the document, if there is a place where the government is chaotic below, the chamber of commerce can directly find Ma Dianjun on behalf of you and solve it, and the representatives of the chamber of commerce can go directly to the yamen to find a theory, and if the yamen is really wrong, a certain responsibility will be taken and the wrong place will be corrected, and you will be compensated for your losses." ……

The summoning ceremony lasted for half an hour.

Jiedu made the yamen arrange a banquet in the restaurant, Li Rupei personally attended, toasted many businessmen, Liu Yunzhang, deputy envoy of Shannan West Road, Gao Chibang, general of the iron-blooded army, Liangzhou Thorn Shishi, Xingyuan Prefecture prefect Qian Shiqu and others, all present.

Such a scene of attracting investment, after a thousand years is very common, but in this era, extraordinary, the impact is huge and far-reaching, it is precisely because of Li Rupei's initiative, so that Liangzhou's commerce and trade rapid development, Shannan West Province prefectures and counties outside the six Cao, specially set up a business and trade department, independent from the Hu Cao, responsible for the jurisdiction of business affairs, collection of taxes, just two years, more than 1,000 businessmen gathered in Liangzhou, countless small and medium-sized businessmen came to Liangzhou, in Shannan West Road around the business, It quickly replaced Luoyang as the Datang commercial center.

What followed was the affluence of the government at all levels in Shannan West Road, and the military salaries, grain and grass of the iron-blooded army were fully guaranteed, and the government no longer had to worry about money and food, and could handle government affairs with peace of mind.
