Hong Simei is a team that can bring the end of the road to the Hong family's gang today, and the matter of organizing a wedding is nothing more than a knife to kill chickens. ++++ Hua Xixiang is also a very talented woman, and it is not a problem for these two to join forces to have a wedding.

Although it is a concubine, the identity of the two parties is one for Xiangshan Wanmin Qian, and the other is for the local clan, and the marriage between the two marks a change in the pattern of the entire Xiangshan County, and the scene will naturally not be small. All kinds of wedding supplies in the entire Xiangshan were almost all purchased, and the characters with heads and faces also received the wedding cards, and Li Tianliang also sent his own soldiers to give gifts.

In fact, not only him, but also Lin Shouzheng and his subordinates in Guangzhou, as well as the county commanders of several counties under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou, sent people to give gifts. A county order can receive a gift from the prefect, which is already a surprise, but what is even more strange is that he not only received gifts from the prefect, but also sent gifts from the Guangzhou Buzheng and the Yamen, and even the Tiancheng banner of the handwritten letter of the political uncle, which is also counted in the sky.

On the other hand, the preparatory work of the Xiangshan Chamber of Commerce has been preliminarily completed, and the first and only statutory chamber of commerce in Xiangshan has been officially established.

Originally, the purpose of this chamber of commerce was to confront the government and fight for more power for the merchants. But after Li Yanqing's guidance, Liang Ruimin connected up and down, ran in many directions, and Hong Simei went up and down to fan the flames, and when it came to the first meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, the first thing that the eighteen representatives of the Chamber of Commerce discussed was to set a New Year for themselves.

Yes, if you stand up for the sake of these businessmen, you have to take risks. If you don't do it, you will be arrested and imprisoned by the government, a female representative like Hong Simei. may also be caught by the dog official Liu Chaozuo in the inner house to do some ulterior deeds. The child she just gave birth to is evidence of her dedication to the Xiangshan merchants. suffered such a big loss. Shouldn't you be rewarded?

A group of small and medium-sized businessmen resolutely opposed this yearly system, but later became the representatives of the eighteen chambers of commerce of the eighteen Arhats. However, the system was based on the full ticket guò annual salary, and the amount was set at 800 taels per person per year. One of the great pleasures in this world is to give yourself money. When the eighteen deputies thought that the merchants below would have to make up such a large sum of money for themselves every year, their hearts were indescribably happy.

It's just that everyone understands this bill, and after moving on to the next bill, it seems that things are a little wrong. According to the original articles of association of the chamber of commerce, any resolution of the chamber of commerce must be approved by all 18 representatives. in order to pass guò to take effect. As long as one person is against it, the resolution cannot be passed. It is said that this is to take care of the interests of every businessman, and it is truly boiled by itself.

But the problem is that all the 18 delegates can agree to the matter of tongguò, and there is only one fixed year. For any other bill, you can't go down the lì tong guò.

Some people think that this bill harms the interests of Zhejiang merchants, some people think that another bill actually enhances the status of Hui people, and the next bill damages the rights and interests of Xiangshan locals. Hong Simei smoked a cigarette pouch and said nothing, every time it was time to vote. She voted against it.

After casting four negative votes in one breath, a representative of the Hui people couldn't help but say, "Representative Hong, what do you mean?" Why do you vote no every time you vote. If you have any comments on this bill, can you make any changes? ”

"Opinions? I'm okay with that. I just don't like to vote yes. By the way, my baby is about to feed, and I have to go back to feeding. This one will go here first. I am against all of the mentions that follow. ”

There's a character like her. What other resolutions can be passed? When the delegates were first set up, the practice was that they could go up but not down. There is no decent recall of the delegate charter. When a certain deputy couldn't help but propose that a charter for the recall of unqualified deputies should be formulated, Liang Ruimin said: "I oppose it. Reason? There is no reason for this. I'm a deputy, and my brain isn't broken, so why should I agree to a charter that can remove me? ”

In this way, even if you want to remove the deputies, these deputies will not be able to do it. After the meeting ended, Liang Ruimin pulled the other sixteen delegates to Chunfeng Building, and when the delegates began to flirt with the women around them after a few glasses of wine, Liang Ruimin said:

"Rank, where can we find this good day? With an annual salary of 800 taels a year, even if you want to work in Chunfeng Building, it may not be possible. Besides, whoever wants to figure out what kind of proposal has to give us benefits, so if you calculate it, the position of this representative may not be lost to the second official of a county government. Are you mad and want to remove this representative? You can get rid of Fourth Sister Hong today, and someone can get rid of you tomorrow. ”

"Liang Weng, what you said has some truth, but with people like Hong Simei, we can't advance any work." A Hui merchant couldn't help but say.

The beauty beside him smiled and said, "My uncle, what's wrong with you?" You are a trader, and it is the right way to seek profit, what other work can be more important than making money? ”

Liang Ruimin smiled: "Look at it, how reasonable is what the girl said?" What do we do? It is to use the identity of this representative to make money, and everything else is fake. Whoever gives us money, we will speak for whom, this is our duty. When I was elected as a deputy, I spent more than 600 taels of silver lobbying and bought votes. I don't believe you didn't buy a ticket. Let's go back to the basics first, and then talk about what we have to say. ”

When the Hui people heard the word buy tickets, they lost their temper. It's just for the sake of "let's not do anything, I'm just afraid that those businessmen won't do it, in case they quit the Chamber of Commerce and set up another ......"

"So, if we want to control them, we have to make friends with the government. As long as the government supports us, what else do we have to fear? Merchants who are not affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce, Xiangshan does not welcome them to do business. As for those who set up their own mountains and set up separate portals, they will all be handled according to the White Lotus Sect. Only with the support of the government can our business last for a long time. Of course, in order to achieve this, there are some necessary costs that cannot but be paid. Let's hurry up and discuss and apportion a sum of money for activities against the government, and it will be easy to get things done with this money. ”

The Xiangshan Chamber of Commerce, which was established for the purpose of fighting against the government and fighting for the interests of businessmen, later became the pioneer of the Yamen of Xiangshan County. Since they themselves are merchants, they are more professional in dealing with disobedient merchants than government officials.

The later economist Wang Wusheng clearly pointed out in his article "Economic Research on Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty": "Although the new merchant class in Xiangshan had its own interests and formed its own merchant alliance. However, we must realize that at that time in Xiangshan, the feudal anti-hole force was relatively strong, and the budding capital was in a relatively weak position. And because of their own class limitations and weakness, they are doomed to dare not move the masses, unite the masses, and are doomed to the road of failure......" (To be continued!).
