Chapter 267: Inquire about the situation
He also felt that the town had not developed because of its geographical location.
Chen Mu raised his hand and touched his chin, and sighed secretly.
It's just that this town has developed to this point, located in the valley, which can be regarded as providing conditions for the development of the town.
After all, this valley is a major transportation route, and most caravans from north to south pass through this town.
Because of this, there are many businesses in this town.
There were many merchants who followed those caravans to other towns to sell their wares.
"By the way, I forgot to ask, since this town is a transportation city, there should also be a chamber of commerce among the merchants in this town."
"Are the merchants who settled in the Fuya factory members of the Chamber of Commerce?"
Hearing Chen Mu say this, Lord He immediately came back to his senses, he shook his head, and spoke.
"No, it's not, those merchants just moved into this town two years ago and settled in this town."
"The Chamber of Commerce hasn't allowed them to join yet, just because those merchants are young and middle-aged, and they are quite sensitive to the decrees issued by the imperial court."
"When you issued the decree to establish the training office, they seemed to realize that you had other plans, and it is precisely because of this that they will try to win over the masters and students in the training office."
"Now they have a firm foothold in the factory, and the officials you sent to the factory to manage the factory deal with them, and the relationship is good, but ......"
At this point, Lord He paused and frowned.
Chen Mu raised his eyebrows when he saw Lord He's appearance.
Lord He was also sent to take charge of the affairs of the factory, and he was extremely familiar with the situation in the factory.
Chen Mu originally planned to wait until he arrived at the factory for a while, and then carefully inquire about the situation in the factory.
Now seeing Lord He's appearance, Chen Mu's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately realized that most of the things were not that simple.
Lord He raised his head to meet Chen Mu's gaze, sighed, and spoke.
"I'm sure Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have heard the old saying, that is, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes."
"Even though the merchants who settled in the factory were given similar rights and duties after they settled in the factory, they still fought openly and secretly in private."
"Intent to get more benefits and rights."
"Fortunately, you arranged for officials to be stationed in that factory in advance to balance the relationship between the various merchants, and now the merchants stationed in that factory are divided into two factions."
"One of them is young merchants from other towns who have only settled in this town in the past two years."
"As for the other faction, it is the merchants who have already settled in this town and have settled in the Chamber of Commerce."
"The old merchants are even smaller, just three people, and the younger ones are a little bit bigger, five in all."
When Chen Mu heard Lord He say this, he immediately nodded and responded.
That's normal.
What Master He said was also known to him for a long time.
Otherwise, he would not have sent officials who supervised the government office to come here in advance to supervise and manage the government.
Chen Mu sighed and didn't say anything more, Lord He saw that Chen Mu had a look of understanding on his face, and he also knew that Chen Mu had already expected the situation of the factory government.
Master He sighed leisurely, thinking secretly in his heart.
Fortunately, this Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a resourceful one.
Otherwise, if he knew the distribution of forces in the factory, he would be worried again.
However, no matter how smart His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, it is difficult for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to think about those little things.
Master He thought about it like this and retracted his thoughts.
At this time, the carriage had already arrived outside the factory office.
The factory was built on the west side of the town, which was already very close to the outskirts of the town, and a few steps in the other direction of the long street was the outskirts of the town.
There is also an official road leading to another town, which is also one of the main transportation routes in this town.
After Chen Mu stopped in front of the factory office, Chen Mu took the lead in getting out of the carriage, and Meng Qing and Master He got out of the carriage behind him.
Chen Mu glanced up in the direction of the gate of the mansion, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Yes, it was built quite magnificently.
"This government office is all established in accordance with the decree you issued before, and the planning and internal layout of the government are exactly the same as those indicated in your government decree."
"You can enter this mansion later, and you can take a closer look."
When Chen Mu heard Lord He say this, he nodded again in agreement, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Seeing that Chen Mu was satisfied, Lord He's heart was slightly relieved.
He took Chen Mu into the factory office, and the officials stationed in the factory office saw Master He come in with a pair of young men and women, and the officials were also stunned, and then looked at each other.
These officials are all officials of the seventh or eighth grade, and they don't have the opportunity to enter Beijing, and they don't know that Chen Mu's identity is just a county official in this town.
They were also not notified in advance to learn the identities of Chen Mu and Meng Qing.
Now seeing Lord He come in with two people, the officials immediately surrounded him.
They first arched their hands to Lord He, and then looked up in confusion and looked in the direction of Chen Mu and Meng Qing.
Lord He saw them like this, and only said to these people in order to clarify the identities of Chen Mu and Meng Qing.
"These two merchants came to our town from other towns to settle down, and they heard that a factory government has been built in our town, and they are also very interested in the factory office."
"I have old friends with these two, and I heard that they are here and are very interested in this factory, so I brought them over to have a look."
"Let them also understand the situation inside our factory government."
When several adults heard Lord He say this, they nodded silently, responded to each other, and then looked at each other again.
It turned out that he had an old friend with this Lord He, no wonder he suddenly came to the door without saying hello.
But then again, since he has an old friend with Lord He, he must have an extraordinary background.
A few thoughts flashed through the minds of several adults, and they immediately bowed respectfully to Chen Mu and Princess Meng Qing.
Chen Mu and Meng Qing didn't care when they saw the appearance of those adults, they waved their hands casually, and glanced at Lord He again.
Seeing this, Lord He raised his hand and made a gesture of please, and then said.
"With me taking these two people around in this factory, a few adults will go about their own business first, don't worry about me."
Seeing that Lord He had already said this, the adults didn't say much, they nodded again, and then dispersed.
When leaving the front yard, he glanced a few times in the direction of Chen Mu and Meng Qing with some curiosity.
Chen Mu and Meng Qing were both big people with extraordinary backgrounds, so naturally they didn't take those people's actions to heart, and they walked towards the factory mansion with Lord He.
