The next day, the city of Malacca was established, and 48 policy provisions were promulgated.

After a religious rebellion, the population of the newly established city of Malacca has plummeted to more than 50,000.

Even the collection of corpses took several days, it is really hard to imagine that in such a prosperous place, two groups of people would be so brave and fearless for their respective "gods".

They seemed to have sprinkled all their hatred and dissatisfaction on the infidels, and it was not until the Huaxia army entered the city to quell the chaos that they recovered from the bloody struggle.

In these days when the Chinese army was collecting the spoils of war, Indian, Arab, Burmese, and Han Chinese merchants were all trying to find out the news, and they were all eager to contact the officials of the Chinese state.

As a result, the cadres have not shown their faces, and they have not made any policy statements to the outside world.

This made these businessmen very anxious, and while they contacted and curried favor with Hu Jie and other Han businessmen, they were also considering whether to take a step back.

It was only after the promulgation of these forty-eight articles that these people collectively breathed a sigh of relief, and then fell into a deep depression.

He was relieved that other cumbersome taxes had been abolished, commercial taxes had been reduced, and the newly established city hall had recognized registered private property and promised to resume commerce as soon as possible.

These terms all indicate that the arrival of the Eastern Qin people in Manraka will make this place more prosperous, so that these merchants can enjoy more benefits.

Depressed, they felt a deep inequality, and after these terms were enacted, the Han people would live in the Han area.

None of these merchants could live in it, and in terms of the laws of the Eastern Qin Dynasty, they were not even as good as a Han commoner.

In terms of various power guarantees, the Han people are also obviously superior, and the taxes they have to pay are even lower!

In particular, the marriage clause left these businessmen speechless, they were all worthy of only one wife, and if they had already married multiple wives, they would have to pay a sum of money to the government. And children, they have more children, and they also need to pay more taxes.

This is a blatant discriminatory clause, and it is said between the lines that Hermes-Epitek is born superior to others in this land, and this is the power given to them by law.

The merchants did not care about other terms, but only about the payment of taxes, and they had to pay about five points more tax than Hermes-Epitek, and Han Epitek had all kinds of monopoly privileges, so that these merchants would be at a disadvantage in the competition.

However, they were not long depressed before their attention was drawn to the terms of naturalization, according to which they could earn the title of honorary citizens as long as they invested in the construction of the city.

Within three years of obtaining this title, as long as you continue to be enthusiastic about public welfare, you or your direct children are well-behaved, you can learn Chinese, you can pass the Chinese proficiency test, and you are willing to embrace Chinese civilization, then you can go one step further and obtain the status of second-class nationality, which is equivalent to the person having the same tax standard as Han Min.

If you continue to maintain this title, if you make a significant contribution to the Huaxia Kingdom, then you can officially become a naturalized citizen and become a real Hermes-Epitek!

For these clauses, this group of businessmen only saw the tax standard, and they could know the weight of the second-class nationality if they thought about it a little.

And these terms are obviously designed for them, ordinary untouchables, who are stuck in the first step.

After figuring out the situation, these merchants gathered at Hu Jie's house, hoping that he could give a way so that they could be the first to show their loyalty.

How could Hu Jie not understand the Tao of this? At this moment, he was deeply complacent about the identity of Hermes-Epitek, and felt that this Dongqin person knew how to protect his own people.

As long as you are a Han person, no matter a cat or a dog, he will make you superior to others in the Eastern Qin Dynasty.

The only drawback is that these so-called cadres are too rigid, he has shown favor and gifts many times, but they have been politely refused, and he wants to get close to each other and pull relationships, but it has no effect.

Fortunately, he is deeply aware of the samadhi of the fox and the false tiger, since these businessmen of other ethnic groups all think that they have something to do with the cadres of the Eastern Qin, then naturally there are articles to do.

As long as he bluffs these businessmen into paying for the Tao, then he can take this credit and go to the Eastern Qin cadres to curry favor with him, and then it will be another great achievement?

……

After these businessmen expressed their meanings, Hu Jie, who was sitting in the first seat, smiled: "This thing, it's actually not difficult to do!" ”

Seeing that there was a play, the businessmen were busy stretching out their heads one by one.

Hu Ding got up, took a sip of tea from the purple clay pot in his hand, and said: "The meaning of the Eastern Qin officials is very simple, that is, if you want to become your own person, then you have to make some contributions!" This investment in the construction of the city, in addition to the notices issued by these officials, there is also a way, which is the same in the Eastern Qin and Ming Kingdoms, and it is also done by rich people! ”

"Hu, don't sell it!" Adi, the representative of the Indian businessman, was a little impatient.

Hu Ding laughed and said: "In my hometown, the squires and rich people, as long as they build roads, bridges, and soup porridge and do good deeds, they will be called a great and good person by the people!" So in Manraka, the principle is the same! In addition to the officials taking the initiative to mention it, you can also do something like this in private, so that it will make them the officials happy? ”

"Then we're going to build roads and bridges?"

"Definitely!" Hu Ding waved his hand and said: "At present, a Han area is being built, and you have also seen that the entire North City, plus more than half of the West City and more than half of the East City, are all classified as Han areas. Those of them who were soldiers were recruiting workers to build the walls, and most of the various buildings in them were also demolished! This shows that the people of Eastern Qin did not like this architectural style. If you're smart, go home and change your house!" ”

"What kind of change?"

"Look at the construction of this Eastern Qin people, how they build, you can change it!"

Hu Jie continued: "So this investment and construction, you should build the most...... It's Mazu Temple! ”

"Mazu Temple?"

"That's right!" Hu Jie explained: "In these terms, it is written that the Mazu Temple will be built! In my hometown, those who can build temples have to be regarded as first-class good people by the common people! As long as you invest money to build a temple, you can guarantee that the people of Dongqin will be happy! As for what kind of roads and bridges are built, unless you build roads for the Han people and build bridges for the Han people, otherwise, how can these Eastern Qin people see it? ”

"Makes sense!" Arab and Burmese businessmen all began to nod their heads.

They didn't know anything about the situation in Eastern Qin and the Ming Dynasty, and Hu Jie's words were definitely more reliable than their blind speculation.

As for faith?

For them, profit is their life, and they will never blush when they do these things.

And for civilians, perception is their life! Because they don't get benefits, they can only comfort themselves with ideas and laugh at the rich who turn their backs on ideas.

…………

A few days later, all parts of Malacca City set off a craze for donations to build the Mazu Temple.

And Hu Jie also borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and finally sought a meeting with Mayor Song Zheng.

He walked into the city government office that was originally the palace very respectfully, pouting his ass, and his heart was extremely excited.

"Little people, see the mayor!"

As soon as he entered the door, he knelt straight up.

Song Zheng was writing materials behind his desk, and when he saw this, he smiled and said, "Hurry up, please get up!" Boss Hu, we don't want to do this in Dongqin. ”

As he spoke, he shook hands with him cordially, and under Hu Jie's stunned reaction, he asked him to sit down again, and asked people to pour a cup of tea.

Hu Jie is in his hometown, what he is most afraid of is the official master, this time he saw the official of Dongqin for the first time, but it was not at all as he imagined, he was a little confused in his mind.

Song Zheng smiled: "What kind of business is Boss Hu doing here?" This rebellion didn't affect you, did it? If you have any difficulties, talk to the government! We are all blood compatriots, and we will definitely make decisions for you here! ”

Hu Jie muttered, "No...... If it is not affected, the villain will do some reselling business, regardless of what kind of business, in short, what to make money and do what! ”

"In this case, most of our Han businessmen are like you?"

"That's right! That's pretty much the case. Hu Jie felt that this lord of Eastern Qin was actually quite kind, and even made him feel a little warm.

Song Zheng thought for a while and said: "Then you have to discuss it carefully, the government has a monopoly policy here, your business is too complicated, it will lead to disorderly competition, the franchise license will be open for application in a few days, you can pick out the main business, or set up a company in accordance with our Dongqin commercial law and company law!" Let's do business here. ”

Hu Jie thought for a while and said, "Is this any good?" ”

"Wait a minute!" Song Zheng got up and pulled out a copy of the business law and the company law.

"Take it back and see! The establishment of a company is a bit similar to the business name of Daming, but the company is fully legal, if you are established in a group, then our government will definitely support it, and the Melaka Stock Exchange is also in preparation. If it becomes bigger in the future, you can also go back to Dongqin to go public! ”

Hu Jie took it solemnly, he knew that this was what it meant to win over, and it was a reward for them.

"Good! After I go back, I will definitely study it carefully, and then gather the local Han businessmen to come up with a charter together! ”
