"Fengtian carried the emperor, the edict said: Li Mu, the son of the naturalized county, was originally a remnant of the Tang Dynasty, read his white medicine for the army, and I remembered that his heart returned to the Tang Dynasty, and the title of the county prince was specially sealed. Li Mu, both ability and political integrity, loyalty can be added, repeatedly dedicated auspicious things, and the Tang Dynasty has meritorious, hereby changed the naturalization of the county to Shoushan County Bo, Feng Quanzhou don't drive, allowed the establishment of Quanzhou Water Division, Feng Quanzhou Water Division commander, all important matters of the Water Division should be led by Shoushan Bo, self-established, can not be reported to the imperial court.

"Chin this!"

A holy decree from Chang'an to Quanzhou determined Li Mu's status in Quanzhou, and also raised his title in Datang to a higher level, and now Li Mu has become the county magistrate of Datang. (Commonly known as the Earl.) ）

The first two rewards on this holy decree are not what Li Mu cares about, these two things can be regarded as unexpected surprises, and what he cares about most is the canonized position in the back.

Li Er allowed him to establish the Quanzhou Water Division.

This proves that Li Mu can establish his own power with great fanfare, and with the addition of a different position, Quanzhou can be sure that Li Mu is in the rear of the Tang Dynasty.

Although it was a little funny for the irresponsible words of Li Er and those old ministers in the Holy Decree.

The content of this decree is obvious, self-established, and may not be notified.

The clear meaning is that the Quanzhou Navy Division can be established, but the imperial court will not take out a penny, and it can be seen from this point that the water division is not as important as the army weight for the Tang Dynasty.

It is no wonder that ancient China has always focused on the army and neglected the navy, otherwise, with the ancient Chinese sea-making technology, foreign colonization would have been carried out hundreds of years earlier than Europe.

From Zheng He's voyage to the West, he told European countries that ships could be built very large, which stimulated the insatiable ambitions of Europeans and opened the European Age of Discovery.

However, China is still nostalgic for the land of the Central Plains and has never set its sights on the sea.

Li Mu was very helpless, and he also deeply realized that the ancestors' attachment to the land and the deep reliance on agriculture made this nation focus on the land, rather than the sea.

Although he was very helpless, Li Mu was also glad that the ancients did not attach importance to the sea and the water division, otherwise, he would not have agreed to establish the Quanzhou water division so easily.

Li Mu, who received the holy decree, did not care about the congratulatory voices of the surrounding crowd, but only coped with the congratulations of Wei Dayong and other Quanzhou officials.

After asking Mei'er to give some reward money to the eunuch who came to announce the decree, he sent it on the official ship back to Chang'an.

With the Shoushan Naturalization Viscount's Mansion replaced with the plaque of the Shoushan Earl's Mansion, of course, the plaque of the Viscount's Mansion in Xinghuafang has long been replaced.

Then it's time for the feast.

Among these banquets, he, who is not a driver in Quanzhou, needs to have a separate banquet for Quanzhou officials, which can be regarded as a formal meeting with Quanzhou magistrates at all levels.

After the banquet, all things will be carried out according to the previous rules, and Quanzhou Mansion will not happen because of the addition of Li Mu.

At the same time, Quanzhou Haixue Salt also started the sales of the first batch of finished products, and this batch of Haixue Salt was sold to Mufeng in addition to three transactions.

As for the remaining seventy percent, who will be handed over to sell it, Li Mu did not clearly explain to Wei Dayong.

The reason why it is not explained is because too many people, after knowing the existence of sea snow salt, are eyeing the sale of sea snow salt.

Although the issue of the sale of sea snow salt was not mentioned, Li Mu proposed that Wei Dayong convene the shops in Quanzhou and hold a symposium led by the government.

At the symposium, Li Mu proposed that the firms participating in the symposium in Quanzhou form the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, and Mei Shuang, the manager of Mufeng Firm, should serve as the president of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Although there were some objections to Li Mu's proposal at first, they all agreed with the proposal to establish the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce.

And the objection is that Mei Shuang becomes the president and lets a woman sit on top of them, even if the merchant no longer has status, he does not like a woman to sit on it.

Of course, no matter how much these businessmen who are doing it oppose it, they have the support of Li Mu and Wei Dayong, and the officials from all over Quanzhou agree with Mei Shuang as the president.

The shopkeeper of the business who was present could only pinch his nose and admit it, otherwise he could only withdraw from the Chamber of Commerce, in which case, it would be equivalent to withdrawing from the Quanzhou business community.

It is also equivalent to giving up a lot of interests, and businessmen are the most interest-oriented.

Why did Li Mu propose Mei Shuang to serve as the president of the Chamber of Commerce?

Because only his own people, Li Mu will rest assured.

Only if the president of the Chamber of Commerce is his person, Li Mu can take the next action through the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, support the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, and complete some other things with the help of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, the establishment of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce and becoming a member of the Chamber of Commerce, in addition to certain responsibilities, will also have some convenience and benefits.

As a member of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, the responsibility to be assumed is to pay a membership fee to the Chamber of Commerce every year to maintain their status as members of the Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time the members of the Chamber of Commerce must safeguard the interests of the Chamber of Commerce, that is, the interests of the members of the Chamber of Commerce.

As a member of the Chamber of Commerce, you will be eligible to purchase and sell sea snow salt.

At the same time, as a member of the Chamber of Commerce, after the successful construction of the Fuchuan in the future, he has the qualification to purchase the Fuship.

The members of the Chamber of Commerce who also purchase Fuchuan are qualified to participate in maritime trade, and the Quanzhou Sailor will provide maritime protection for the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce.

In addition, if the members of the Chamber of Commerce do not have development funds, they can make temporary interest-free loans to the Chamber of Commerce.

In addition, as the Chamber of Commerce grows, members of the Chamber of Commerce will also enjoy more convenient services provided by the Chamber of Commerce.

The shopkeeper of the business who was present heard that there were so many benefits of becoming a member of the Chamber of Commerce, and his original hesitant attitude rose in an instant.

Not to mention those incomprehensible benefits, just the sales of sea snow salt, as well as the ability to participate in maritime trade, these two are worth becoming a member of the Chamber of Commerce.

As for the matter of making a woman the president of the Chamber of Commerce, how can the benefits in exchange be important.

In this regard, the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce was officially established, and the first thing that the Chamber of Commerce did was to start distributing sea snow salt.

As for the purchase of a fortune ship.

Because the port of Quanzhou is still under construction, the shipyard is still under construction, but the shipyard has already stockpiled a large amount of timber.

After the ship wood drying kiln is completed, a large batch of kiln drying wood will begin, and then it will enter the official shipbuilding.

At that time, the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce will start selling Fuship.

However, there is no need to worry about the sales of the lucky boat, Li Mu began to worry about the take-off and clipping.

Li Mu was worried about the crew of the clipping ship.

Everything is ready, just wait until the sea ship is built, Li Mu doesn't have to think about the crew of the lucky ship, and he has the business name that buys the lucky ship to worry about.

Li Mu is worried about the crew of the clipping ship, and the Quanzhou sailor is like a blank sheet of paper, and he needs a large number of crew members who can control the sea ship.

Only then can we form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Li Mu needed to think about how to find a crew member who was qualified to control the ship, and at the same time equip the Quanzhou Navy Division with combat personnel.

So Li Mu went to sea.

I went to sea with the Makimi.
