Chapter 49: The Past
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival
……
Zhao Qing has always been very curious about this, she has heard the word "chamber of commerce" more than once, in her memory, the chamber of commerce first sprouted in Europe, and only emerged in China during the Ming and Qing dynasties, how could Da Chu have such a mature physique?
"The full name of the Tanxi Chamber of Commerce is called the Tanxi Chamber of Commerce, which was a non-governmental organization that Empress Taizu personally issued a decree to let the merchants of the provinces form themselves in order to restrain the malicious competition of businessmen in various provinces, and was not subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial court......" Thinking of Zhao Qing's amnesia, Chi Feng simply explained in detail, "The Tanxi Chamber of Commerce is currently jointly established by thirteen business giants in Tanxi Province, and the president is a round every three years, and is jointly elected by everyone." Snorted coldly, "It is said that it is to coordinate the interests of various businesses in the province, according to the slaves, this chamber of commerce is to protect the interests of these thirteen giants, so it has created many provisions to restrict foreign merchants, the old lady of the Yang family in Zhongzhou is the president of this term, speaking of the vast commercial house of the Yang family in Zhongzhou, the third grandmother may have heard of it earlier, it is a century-old brand in Zhongzhou, the provincial capital, and the network background is not comparable to our Shen family, this conflict incident is all instigated by them behind it! ”
"A strong dragon can't crush the head snake!" Needless to say, Zhao Qing could also understand the difficulties of Shen Huaiyu's entrepreneurship at the beginning, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"For these bends, the third master has a mirror in his heart, and immediately prepared a generous gift, took Mr. Su Dao's letter and personally handed over the letter to meet Mrs. Yang, and offered to voluntarily abide by the regulations of the Tanxi Chamber of Commerce, and the merchants in Zhongzhou Mansion will not dump, do not dismantle, compete peacefully, and want to join the Tanxi Chamber of Commerce." Chi Feng continued, "It is said that the Shen family is also a Tanxi businessman, and the ancestor was the first president of the Tanxi Chamber of Commerce, but later the family declined and took the initiative to withdraw, and now the third master revitalizes the Shen family, and it is natural for him to reapply for membership." ”
"The ancestor of the Shen family was the first president of the Tanxi Chamber of Commerce?" Zhao Qing was shocked.
Galloping Wind nodded.
"At that time, the ancestor of the Shen family was given an exception to a three-grade Taoist, and he was the first businessman in the history of our Tanxi Province to be dressed in official robes...... These are recorded in the constitution of the Tanxi Chamber of Commerce, and the third grandmother can check it herself if she doesn't believe it. At the beginning, the Yang family was just a nameless small businessman, and it was not worthy to carry shoes for the ancestors! ”
Zhao Qing's body was shocked.
At the beginning, a small merchant who was not worthy of lifting shoes for his ancestors has developed into today's century-old family, and the original man of the year has left the Tanxi Chamber of Commerce in disgrace.
What happened back then?
Chi Feng continued. "Who knows, as soon as this old lady Yang saw the third master, he opened his mouth, saying that thirteen members are a fixed number, and no one can enter if no one withdraws, and the Shen family's donation fee is high. In the name of their vast firm, the Yang family only charges one-tenth of the additional donation fee borne by members outside the chamber of commerce as a worry fee. "When foreign merchants enter Tanxi Province, it has become an unspoken rule for most of them to find a family member to rely on," and said that this is already an extra care that he admires the third master's talent, and when the old lady Shen is there, the Shen family has to pay one-third of the worry fee......"
This means that Yushengtang has become a semicolon under the Yang family in disguise!
"The third master didn't agree?" Zhao Qingdao.
Chi Feng snorted coldly: "The third master's temperament, how can he be willing to live under others?" ”
Zhao Qing's expression was shocked.
So I fought with the Yang family!
“…… I can't see that Chunlan people are ugly, but they are very talented, and they can even write big characters. ”
Mother Wu, who was guarding outside the transparent glass, was tugging at the thread. While looking at Chunlan, who was sitting next to the plan and waving a pen.
Chifeng said all the way that she wrote all the way, and Jing seemed to have written it down!
"Her father is a fallen brother, the family opened a private school, she has been following the literacy when she was a child, it was later that her father died of illness, in order to raise a bride price for her brother, the family sold her......" Qiao Lan bit the needle with her teeth and pulled the thick soles of her shoes, pulling the thread out one by one, "I heard that she has read a lot of books, and she reads well." Ordinary men can't compare! Stopping the action of pulling the thread, he sighed with both hands on the half-contained soles, "It's a pity, it's just that people aren't beautiful." Otherwise, I would have entered the Begonia Club a long time ago. ”
Haitang Society is a poetry and painting society led by several famous talented women in Gulan Town, with the support of Yin Siye behind it, and its reputation is particularly loud, and the talented women in the surrounding towns are proud to join.
"That's what people say, no matter how strong you are, you can't be strong, right?" Xiangtong sighed.
Mother Wu snorted, "...... A daughter's family, seeing the sky and a group of men writing and painting together, humming and chirping without illness**, what kind of system! ”
Qiao Lan Xiangtong immediately shut up.
All I could hear was the sizzle of needles and threads passing through the thick and stiff soles.
“…… If only I could hear it. Looking at the three people in the Pearl Tower, Qiu Ju couldn't help but say with envy.
The third master is the god in her heart, and what she likes to hear most is anecdotes about him.
What Chifeng said must be very exciting!
Mother Wu glanced at her.
"So many people are really swarming up, and the wind can't be so frightened that they can't open their mouths?"
Qiu Ju grinned.
After a few stitches, Mother Wu couldn't help but raise her head again, looked at Chifeng's lips and muttered, "...... What is he talking about? ”
Was it the first time you went to the south to trade silk? Or the first semicolon of Yushengtang was opened in Anqing Mansion?
Why did the third grandmother listen so seriously?
It seems that she is quite sincere to the third master.
Her eyes slowly fell on Zhao Qing's high bulging lower abdomen, and Mother Wu showed a look of relief.
Zhao Qingzheng looked at the galloping wind intently.
“…… The third master fought with the Yang family because of this? ”
"Not either!" Galloping Wind shook his head.
"And Mrs. Yang broke up unhappily, and the third master entrusted the former political envoy Lord Yuan to mediate, unfortunately, just in time for Lord Yuan's three-year term, I don't know if he can continue to serve, Mrs. Yang deduced that he can't be the master, and the thirteen members have to vote together, all of them are businessmen, and it is so easy to gather, and the matter dragged on, fortunately, there is the pressure of the government, and the ruffians dare not make trouble, and Yushengtang has finally gained a foothold in Zhongzhou Mansion......"
"Why didn't Lord Yuan succeed him?" If Zhao Qingji is right, the current political envoy seems to be surnamed Zhu.
Why did Mrs. Yang drag it, it was lice on the bald head, obviously.
With the third master's scheming methods, he will definitely find ways to contribute money and efforts to help Lord Yuan succeed him, which is his greatest reliance.
"The minions don't know the details either." Chi Feng shook his head, "I only heard that Lord Yuan has made outstanding achievements during his tenure, and he has been excellent in the evaluation for three consecutive years, and he doesn't want to leave Tanxi Province, which has been in business for many years, so he made the silver take the path of the imperial concubine's foreign sincerity, and has already decided to stay in office.
