Does this mean fair competition, not taking advantage?

Fan Yongdou took a deep look at Wu Dazhang, who was laughing loudly, shook his head with a wry smile, and got up to leave.

According to the regulations, a license for border trade can be obtained without having to buy it, but by paying a deposit.

But that's the point.

Obtaining a trade license is only the first step, but it does not mean that you can directly trade with the Mongols, because the person in charge of trade has already been designated as the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

What does it mean, that is, you are qualified to traffick commercial goods, but the buyer will be the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. You are also allowed to order the price of commercial goods, and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce's recommendation is to increase the price by 10%.

Of course, it's your freedom to add a few percent, but it's hard to say whether you can sell it at this price. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce is not buying in cash, but selling it and then giving money.

Besides, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce also has a channel to purchase goods, and the approximate price is clear, so you can't deceive people.

When the price is set high, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce will say that it can't be sold, so pile it up in the warehouse and pay the storage fee!

The price was set low, and it was not the price that the Chinese Chamber of Commerce sold to the Mongols. The big boss belongs to someone else, and it has nothing to do with you.

Although the words are not explicit, the proposal of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is basically a fixed price. I will only give you a 10% profit, and I will have to pay business tax again, so I am happy to do it.

Monopoly, the monopoly of Chiguoguo!

Fan Yongdou and others expected that it might be difficult to get a license, and the imperial court would favor Wu Dazhang, but they didn't expect this to be the case.

If it is just an ordinary businessman, such conditions and such a profit are also acceptable.

But the eight families didn't make such a small amount of money in the previous border trade. That's right, in the eyes of them, who once monopolized border trade, this little money is a small amount of money.

The imperial court wants to control the border foreign trade, which is a clear intention.

Whether it was to make money, or to tighten control over the Mongols through economic means, or both, you guess and guess.

The meat and bones are gone, and the soup is still drinkable if you want to.

Fan Yongdou and the others pinched their noses and paid the mortgage and got the license, but they didn't want to look at Wu Dazhang's face anymore, so they withdrew one after another.

Wu Dazhang was triumphant, and was talking to a few businessmen about the benefits of the new border trade deal.

"The warehouse inn is built by this chamber of commerce, and there are discounts for everyone. They are all dealers, and the hardships of this are the most clear. ”

Wu Dazhang first felt empathy, and then changed his tone of persuasion, "Do you know that the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has obtained the permission of the imperial court to build a warehouse and set up a store relying on the post station?" This is to facilitate the transportation of goods, which is both safe and reliable. ”

Do you think this is the Chinese Chamber of Commerce making a loss-making transaction? It costs money to build a warehouse and set up a store, but isn't it profitable to operate? After development, it can also increase transportation and other businesses.

"I admire the Chinese Chamber of Commerce very much, and I also admire President Wu's eagerness and righteousness." A businessman arched his hand and said, "I don't know, what are the requirements for joining the Chamber of Commerce?" ”

Wu Dazhang couldn't help coughing dryly when he saw that everyone was showing concern, and said: "The conditions are very simple, honest and law-abiding, loyal and patriotic." ”

Stretching out his fat hand and waving it in the air, Wu Dazhang's face became even more serious, "Profiteering, black-hearted people, even if they have a lot of money, this chamber of commerce will definitely not accept it, and if they are mistakenly accepted, they will be removed immediately." ”

"So that you can know that this Chamber of Commerce and the General Chamber of Commerce have the right to write a book." Wu Dazhang looked around at the businessmen and said loudly: "If there are officials who bend the law and oppress, they will be in charge. ”

Oh, ah! It turns out that with such a background, it is no wonder to monopolize border and foreign trade, which is the meaning of long live!

The merchants let out a voice of amazement and envy, and the eyes that looked at Wu Dazhang were very different.

It is not ordinary for people to be given a lord. And joining the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, he was oppressed and blackmailed by the government, and he also had a place to complain, or the Ninth Five-Year Supreme was the master!

Wu Dazhang looked at everyone very deeply, nodded lightly from time to time, and a warm smile appeared on his fat face.

I don't lie to you, this is really the privilege of our Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Long live the grace, will be the master of the law-abiding and honest businessmen.

…………………… Divider............................

"As long as you act according to the law, I will be the master for you. The stability of the place that can be maintained by mediocrity is also complicit in the pollution ......"

Liu Lishun, the county magistrate of Jiashan County, Jiaxing Prefecture, looked at the noisy and noisy township eunuchs under the yaxia, remembered the words of long live, and also made up his mind to be tough to the end.

Hu Cheng and Zhang Rui knelt in front of the hall, exchanging glances, and they both showed a few happy smiles.

These two guys have no identity, or it would be more appropriate to call them Haonu.

But they are all righteous men of the township eunuch Xu Tingjiao, relying on the power of the master, collecting rent, extorting gifts, and lending money to force their children to write their fields, which can be described as a bad record and a lot of evil.

And the powerful gentry like Xu Tingjiao, their thousands of family fortunes are mostly relied on by these powerful slaves and evil servants to plunder and extort from the people.

It can be said that Hu Cheng and Zhang Rui are the eagle dogs of their masters, the thugs of the eunuchs, and the tools for them to collect wealth and plunder the land.

"Hu Cheng and Zhang Rui lent money and extorted money, forcing the good citizen Dong Dafen to death." Liu Lishun slapped the shocked wood heavily, and said loudly: "Now the evidence is conclusive, the criminal has pleaded guilty and been detained, and you are waiting for ...... clamoring."

"Wronged, wronged!" Hu Chenggui cried wolf and interrupted Liu Lishun, "It is true that the grass people lend money, but Dong Dafen's death has nothing to do with the grass people. The plea and detention are due to the fact that they have not been tortured, and they have been beaten into a trick. ”

"Bending into a trick!" Zhang Rui got the hint, immediately pouted his buttocks, and cried: "If you don't move, you will be beaten to death by the board." ”

Zhou Wenzhuo, a student, took a step forward and arched his hand: "Lord County." Hu Cheng and Zhang Rui are the servants of Xu Xiange, Xu Xiangeun has always been extremely strict, presumably the case has some twists and turns, and I hope that the adults will be the masters of the people and retry the case. ”

Liu Lishun looked coldly at this famous litigator in the county, and said in a deep voice: "The case is clear and clear, and the official decided according to law, so why are there any twists and turns?" If you think that the official has decided the case unfairly, you can sue the government. Gather the crowd to agitate, crumble beyond the discipline, and wait for you to be not afraid of the law of the country? ”

Zhou Wenzheng was not afraid, and said loudly: "My lord said it lightly. Who will bear the loss of suing to the government and traveling long distances to file a complaint and waste money and delay work? It's obviously an unjust case, and the adults insist on going their own way, and they are not afraid of posting the papers? ”

Liu Lishun was furious, pointed at Zhou Wen and reprimanded: "Be bold and crazy, clever tongue and sophistry, and make a fuss in the court." Come and take it down with the official. ”

This is not just a matter of two slaves breaking the law, but also involves a deeper contradiction.

Liu Lishun knew in his heart that this matter must not be backed down. Otherwise, their prestige will be greatly reduced, and these guys will have to make inch-in, and all their efforts to rectify government affairs will be in vain.
