With the intelligence network that Song Nan has now, it is naturally difficult for the Hou Ye's calculations to escape his inquiry, although it is not possible to insert people into the Hou Ye's side, but the order of the blockade secretly issued by the Beijing Chamber of Commerce quickly reached Song Nan's ears; Song Nan, who had been in business for a long time in later generations, knew what they were going to do almost without thinking about it.

Originally, Song Nan invited the little grandfather to join the shares just to let the eldest brother-in-law get some benefits with him, but when he learned about the Hou master's scheme, Song Nan immediately thought of another big use of the little grandfather.

Guogongfu's business in the city is actually not much, and its name is just a few car and horse dealers and a few pawn shops, and the old man is keen on things like real estate estates, and he always feels that it is a matter of losing his identity to go to business and open a shop in Guogong's house, and nothing can catch up with the purchase of a large number of acres of manors to make the old man feel at ease.

In fact, the business of the Guogong Mansion in Beijing was less than that of the regimental marquis under him, and he did not join the chamber of commerce of the marquis and earls at all. However, the princes also saw the opportunity, even if the British government did not join the chamber of commerce, they were careful not to involve the British government's car dealership and pawnshop business in the capital; Even if a few are opened, they will never go beyond the position of the industry leader.

The purpose of this is very simple, everyone makes money, even if the British government does not care about the business in the city, they still express their intention not to infringe on the British government's money-making industry, just like the princes' own business, everyone does not interfere with the river water, each monopolizes an industry, and jointly maintains the order, which can make a fortune.

Although the British government did not join the Chamber of Commerce, everyone assumed that they were in the Chamber of Commerce.

What Song Nan has to do is to govern his body in the way of others, the organization of the Chamber of Commerce is only a non-governmental organization, and it does not have much binding force, the reason why the Chamber of Commerce in the capital has a huge binding force, in fact, is because they stand behind the family of the Hou Qi, these invisible powers make the Beijing Chamber of Commerce suddenly become a huge power to restrain the merchants in the capital.

Merchants from all over the Ming Dynasty enter the capital to do business, the first thing is to have the permission of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, which line to do, how large the scale, these are all required to be approved by the Beijing Chamber of Commerce; In the Ming merchant gang, whether it is the old Jin merchants, the new Hui merchants and other foreign merchants in Beijing, no matter how huge your wealth is, how old and spicy your qualifications are, when you arrive in the capital, you still have to get the permission of the Chamber of Commerce, otherwise no matter how big a merchant you are, there is still no place to stand. The family of the Ming Dynasty was rich and rivaled the country, and the accumulation of a large amount of wealth relied on the monopoly under power.

Song Nan understood this, he could fully understand the ambivalence of these foreign merchants, who wanted to enter the capital of millions of merchants at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but were also limited by the monopoly of the family of Xun Qi, if there was an opportunity for them to get rid of the monopoly, these people would return to the capital without hesitation.

After the little grandfather became a shareholder, Song Nan did not hide his purpose, and seriously communicated his thoughts with the little grandfather, and the Guogong Mansion has always been swaying between Song Nan and Lao Xunqi, not wanting to stand up and offend anyone. Song Nan's move was to force Zhang Lun to make a choice.

Surprisingly, Zhang Lun didn't take long to give Song Nan an answer, in the past few years, Zhang Lun has understood Song Nan well enough, and his brother-in-law's ability is clear, which he is convinced of. Not to mention that in a few years, he climbed from a hundred households to the position of marquis, just these big things that Song Nan has done in the past few years, many people can't do one thing in their lifetime, and Zhang Lun has already thrown himself into the ground for this brother-in-law.

And what is rare is that Song Nan may use some intrigues and tricks against anyone, but he has always maintained his respect for the Guogong Mansion, just like Song Nan said when he started to get acquainted with Song Nan, he will regard the little grandfather as his best friend, and will never be unfavorable to the little grandfather; In fact, he did.

Even when the old man was unfair to Song Nan several times, Song Nan did not grit his teeth, but just told Zhang Lun that the future of the Guogong Mansion was in his hands Zhang Lun, and how to choose would determine whether the Guogong Mansion could continue to stand illustriously in the Ming Dynasty in the future, these words touched Zhang Lun a lot.

Song Nan once told Zhang Lun that the old man's wishful thinking is useless, the British Mansion is no longer the leader of the Honorable Relatives, and the current Honorable Relatives family cares more about interests, and can no longer return to the previous state of unity and serving the British Mansion. Zhang Lun naturally knew these words, although he said them more bluntly, but this is the case, but if the future Guogong Mansion is handed over to his own hands, do he still have the ability to command these unruly marquis and earls under the Guogong Mansion? The answer is self-explanatory.

Because of this, Zhang Lun had already made up his mind to stand closely with Song Nan, and when Song Nan informed Zhang Lun of the Hou Ye's conspiracy, and asked Zhang Lun to come forward with him to establish a new chamber of commerce, so as to smash the Hou Ye's wishful thinking, Zhang Lun did not hesitate at all. This is the time when Song Nan needs himself the most, and it is also the time when he can best reflect his value, if he doesn't help him at this time, he can only drift away in the future. At the moment of making the decision, Zhang Lun didn't even consider Zhang Mao's feelings at all, the old man who sat in the courtyard basking in the sun, drooling and having filthy eyes, although he had a lot of experience, this was no longer his time.

The establishment of the Chamber of Commerce in the White Paper Mill immediately became a big news, and the president of this Chamber of Commerce was actually the little grandfather of the Guogong Mansion, which was even more incredible.

Although it is not a new thing for officials in the Ming Dynasty to do business, even the emperors of the previous dynasties also acquiesced, after all, the low salary of officials is a hard injury, and the court cannot pay high salaries, so they cannot blame people for making money for themselves to support their families. During the Hongzhi period, it was already semi-public, but the Hongzhi Emperor formulated stricter regulatory measures, and the civil officials and brocade guards of the Metropolitan Procuratorate also stared at the officials all day long to prevent the use of power for personal gain, although everyone knew that it was difficult to avoid, but the attitude was there.

However, it is shocking that he is not even willing to hire an agent as the chairman of such a fanfare. Moreover, at the same time, there is also a Song Nan and Song Hou Ye who are also the honorary presidents of the Chamber of Commerce, which is simply a mess, and these two people are completely in the eyes of money.

The court reacted quickly, and the civil officials scoffed, and they couldn't help but lash out at the court, and the explanation given by Song Nan and the little grandfather was high-sounding: this move is to make a gesture for the world's businessmen, encourage homeless people to do business, and change the impression that business is an inferior profession, precisely in response to the imperial court's active policy of increasing finance and taxation, hoping to encourage the world's merchants to revitalize the business of the Ming Dynasty and collect more taxes.

This time, even Zhengde was a little angry, but he didn't scold the two in court, and put the matter aside as a personal matter, but privately summoned the two to reprimand them, warning them not to use power for personal gain, and to separate business affairs and powers, otherwise Yunyun will not be forgiven.

Song Nan also didn't let people attack him in front of Zhengde every day, and assured Zhengde that he and the president of the little grandfather would only serve for one year, and he would definitely step down after one year. He even patted his chest and promised that he would never use his power for personal gain, otherwise he would be disposed of.

Zhengde is also a so-so person, and Song Nan is his hardcore confidant, so he doesn't have much to say, so he skipped the matter vaguely.

And the anger of the marquis of the regimental camp can be imagined, there are two chambers of commerce in the capital, and the British government, which is unwilling to join its own chamber of commerce, ran to Song Nan's chamber of commerce as the president, which is obviously going to sing the right play, a group of people rushed to the British mansion to see the old man Zhang Mao, who had not been to the court for a long time, but when they saw the old man's appearance, their hearts were half cold, and the old man was lying on the recliner in the courtyard with crooked eyes, and he couldn't even tell who was who.

"It seems that the little grandfather is not with us anymore, and the British government has changed." The Hou masters all understood.

"However, Song Nan did this to reassure merchants from outside Beijing to enter Beijing and settle in the White Paper Workshop, what should I do? Ladies and gentlemen. ”

"What else can I do? We can only wait and see what happens, can't the nine of us fight the two of them? We'll see. ”

……

On November 14, the first winter snow covered the early morning of the capital, a carriage slowly drove out of the capital to the south, and the person in the car was Zhu Fengtong, who volunteered to go south to attract investment, and there was a stack of the latest rules of the White Paper Chamber of Commerce and the most preferential entry and purchase policies in the wooden box beside her, as well as a special official letter signed by Song Nan himself, which unabashedly reminded the Jinyi Wei Yamen that the local Tiqi who saw this letter must fully assist Zhu Fengtong in his affairs, and must be regarded as the task of the general office.

Song Nan swore in front of Zhengde that he would never use power for personal gain, and in a blink of an eye, these oaths were left behind.
