is not bad with Qin Miaomiao's guess, this Chen Fu and Chen He really have ghosts, but what do they want the quota of the imperial merchant for?
After all, time is limited, and the people behind Chen Fu are quite powerful, and the background of his whereabouts is quite secret, and Qin Miaomiao can't find out his roots in one day.
The Imperial Merchants Recruitment Conference was held as scheduled, after all, Qin Miaomiao had been preparing for this for a long time, and whether he could earn back the money for disaster relief depended on today.
Today's imperial merchant recruitment conference is to put it bluntly, Qin Miaomiao's quota sales conference, the previous imperial merchant quota was selected and judged according to the quality of the previous year's order completion and local governments, just like a few years ago, Chen Yuanbo had the right to give Qin Miaomiao's quota to Qin Miaomiao privately, and all local officials had this right.
It's just that some local officials are honest, like Chen Yuanbo, who did not accept any benefits from Qin Miaomiao, but the vast majority of officials will not give this quota to these merchants in vain, and will take some bribes from it, ranging from a few thousand taels to tens of thousands of taels.
After becoming an imperial merchant, the profit brought to one's business is far higher than these thousands of taels or even tens of thousands of taels of silver, so even if it costs a lot of money, many merchants, especially wealthy merchants, will rush to it.
Qin Miaomiao just made this more open, transparent, and fair this year, in the past, these wealthy businessmen secretly stuffed money to officials from all over the country, and then waited at home in fear.
Because at any time there will be people who will fill more than you, and that quota will be given to someone else, and the rest of the people will spend money and not get a quota.
This year is different, after Qin Miaomiao got the emperor's permission, she began to prepare for this matter, to be precise, Qin Miaomiao was already preparing for this matter when she asked the forest medicine box to list the loss-making store and stop it.
She asked Lin Yao Box, on the emperor's orders, to go to the main prosperous towns in Great Xia to select famous local merchants to come to the capital to participate in the selection of imperial merchants.
Therefore, the people who came to participate in the Imperial Merchants Conference today are all powerful businessmen, to put it bluntly, they can afford to make money, in business, as long as they do not violate morality, Qin Miaomiao feels that there is no problem with her approach, she is not the Virgin Bodhisattva, and she can't do selfless dedication.
The selection meeting of the imperial merchants was held at the headquarters of Yongxing Commercial Bank, and the headquarters of the commercial bank had been prepared a few days in advance, and all the arrangements were arranged in accordance with Qin Miaomiao's requirements.
A stage more than one person high was set up in front of the main hall of the trading house, and rows of chairs were placed in the open space below the stage, and Qin Miaomiao specially drew a picture for Lin Yao Box on the stage, telling him to be shiny and bright.
Looking at the stage flash painted by Qin Miaomiao, the Lin Yao box had a headache for a while, and finally understood the essentials, electric lights are not available, and a lot of oil lamps were hung on the Lin Yao box, and a lot of copper mirrors were placed around the stage, and the copper mirrors were adjusted to reflect the light of the oil lamps on the stage, although they were not as bright as the electric lights, but this was much more dazzling than the ordinary stage.
And the copper mirror can change the angle, you can adjust the brightness of the stage lighting at any time, it is this combination of earth and foreign four unlike the stage, aroused the interest of several wealthy businessmen, most of them have a flower building dance room in their hands, want to learn to go, add some new interest to their shop.
Bringing everyone to Qi, Qin Miaomiao did not rush to get to the point, but arranged the opening song and dance performance to elevate her for this vulgar wealth collection conference.
After a song and dance, Lin Yaozi came to the stage, and today's one is also dressed up with all his heart, and he is in his forties after dressing up, and he immediately aged a few years old.
Before coming to the stage, Qin Miaomiao complained fiercely about his clothes, but he just liked this old-fashioned tone, wearing a black brocade robe, with red flowers on it, he was not tall and tall, he had to hang a jade pendant around his waist, and the ears of the jade pendant were about to drag to the crook of his legs, and he looked like an uncle selling purses during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Because many people have seen the Lin Yao Box in the early stage, as soon as he came to the stage, everyone no longer felt angry, the Lin Yao Box had the smiling face of a standard profiteer, and a smile said that he was going to fool your money: "Hello everyone, the bosses and shopkeepers in the audience, today I am honored to preside over the bidding conference of the imperial merchants, and then I will introduce the process of the conference to you." ”
This line was written by Qin Miaomiao, and it was rotten, but everyone came in the name of the imperial businessman, and no one paid attention to it.
"This year's selection of imperial merchants is extremely strict, and it stipulates a fixed business site for imperial merchants, that is to say, the venue for our future supply is fixed."
The people sitting below were all understanding, and as soon as the Lin Yao box spoke, they already understood that this was the point.
But this has long been within everyone's expectations, and gifts are also given, anyway, they can't save this money in their pockets.
"The site of the business premises is provided in the form of lease for a fee, the rent is paid every three years, the price is 10,000 taels of silver, all the imperial merchants must have a fixed imperial business premises, otherwise there will be no opportunity to participate in the selection of the imperial merchants."
This was already obvious, and Lin Yao didn't need to explain, after saying the rules, he walked off the stage with his head held high.
And taking advantage of the opportunity of a new round of singing and dancing performances, the lowly people began to discuss wildly and passionately.
"I sent this amount to the prefect last year, and I only got the order, so it's not expensive to calculate 10,000 taels in three years." A man gestured with two fingers, and it seemed that he had spent a lot of money when he got the order last year.
The old man sitting next to him, with his hair all gray, stroked a few of his beards; "Eh, 10,000 taels in the past three years is not a small amount, I received orders last year and only earned less than 10,000 taels, which is taking out more than 3,000 taels to pay rent, but the profit is getting smaller and smaller."
However, the discussion is a discussion, and when Lin Yaozi announced the list of imperial merchants, none of them gave up the quota of imperial merchants because of the rent of the venue.
Qin Miaomiao stood behind the stage, looking at the Lin Yao box with some excitement as she collected cash tickets on the stage, and couldn't help but sigh, 'It's good to have your back against the big tree.' ”
In the territory of Great Xia, seventy-three shops were all rented out in one morning.
Looking at the stacks of silver tickets, Qin Miaomiao scolded herself for being shameless, while happily counting the silver tickets.
And in the palace, Su Zuyao listened to Gonggong Li's report, but he couldn't sit still: "What? Is this girl crazy? Openly peddling the quota of the Imperial Merchants? Sold for more than 700,000 taels as soon as it was sold? ”
Gonggong Li nodded and agreed: "Your Majesty, it's true, the people under the slave are watching at the door, and I heard that the girl ran away from the back door with the money." ”
Su Zuyao was angry, had a calm face, and didn't speak for a long time.
Gonggong Li stood aside and didn't dare to open his mouth, judging from his many years of experience in observing words and feelings, Su Zuyao was jealous and regretful, and it was estimated that he regretted that he agreed to hand over all the income of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce to Qin Miaomiao so easily yesterday.
Just when Gonggong Li was thinking of comfort, the guard outside the door hurriedly entered the door: "Your Majesty, Miss Qin outside the palace gate will ask to see her if she has something urgent." ”
Su Zuyao and Gonggong Li both looked a little surprised: "Announce her in." ”
Not long after, Qin Miaomiao sneakily walked into the main hall with a small wooden box, and when she saw the emperor, she did not rush to salute, but closed the door of the main hall first.
Su Zuyao looked at Qin Miaomiao's every move coldly, and couldn't help but ask, because he was angry, his tone was very bad, and his words were mean: "You are a girl, you don't care about your manners at all, what are you doing secretly?" ”
Qin Miaomiao secretly glanced at Su Zuyao: "The people's daughter sees the emperor." ”
Su Zuyao still had that arrogant demeanor: "What happened to me to see me?" ”
Qin Miaomiao didn't answer, but opened her box and began to count the silver tickets, counting out a bunch of them and holding them in her hands and holding them above her head: "Your Majesty, this is the share for you." ”
Although Su Zuyao was happy in his heart, because he had promised Qin Miaomiao yesterday, as the emperor, he couldn't go back on his word: "What about you and me sharing the spoils here?" Give me back this child, and you will have time to learn etiquette from the female officials in the palace. Su Muyao avoided the topic of whether he wanted it or not, Qin Miaomiao secretly screamed in his heart, knowing that he had the intention to stay, and he was open-minded when he saw the money, and he didn't care that he was the emperor, so he said nothing.
In fact, he came here today to deliberately act, if he didn't take the silver ticket to let Su Zuyao, saying that he would give him some, with Su Zuyao's cautious eye, he would definitely find trouble for himself, and he needed to pretend to let him go, but he had to grasp a degree, and he couldn't really let him ask for the money.
"Yes, yes, the folk girl must learn, but don't you want this money emperor? Although you said no more yesterday, after all, the amount is a bit large, and I am afraid that you will regret it, so I will ask today. ”
Her words made Su Zuyao speechless, and when she saw the silver, she relaxed her attitude and cooled down again: "You are so bold that you even openly sell the quota of the imperial merchants, I think you are impatient!" ”
Qin Miaomiao looked at Su Zuyao in fear, and knelt on the ground: "The people's daughter is wronged!" I am taking it from the people and using it for the people, and I don't plan to keep this money for myself, Your Majesty. ”
"And what are you going to do with it?" Su Zuyao squinted at Qin Miaomiao, his heart was full of disdain, he wanted to hear what Qin Miaomiao's reasons were.
"The money of the people originally wanted to be distributed to the emperor, but since the emperor doesn't want it~, then I will use it to build a canal for the people of Jinrong City. Otherwise, there will be a drought there for many years, and the imperial court will have to allocate funds for disaster relief every year. ”
Su Zuyao knew about the situation in Jinrong City, and it was indeed as Qin Miaomiao said, eight out of ten years would report the disaster to the imperial court, which really gave him a headache.
Seeing that Su Zuyao's expression was relaxed, Qin Miaomiao struck while the iron was hot: "If the canal is repaired and the varieties planted are changed, it should be able to completely eradicate the occurrence of the annual drought in Jinrong City." ”
