Hanzhong County.

On the top floor of [Baichuan Restaurant Headquarters], Mo Jun, Fu Nian, and Six-Fingered Black Man sat by the window, watching the people coming and going below, in full swing, Fu Nian couldn't help but sigh.

"But in just over a month, such an amazing change can occur in Hanzhong, and Shengpingjun's methods are really admirable."

To know.

Just over a month ago.

Except for the headquarters of the [Mofu] and the [Xiongchumo Chamber of Commerce] in this area, there are basically no other buildings to be seen, and there are no villages populated.

However, it has only been a little more than a month since they came to Hanzhong.

This suburb, which was originally remote and desolate, with no farmland in sight, has become bustling and full of people.

Look around.

A gray-white cement avenue leads directly to the county seat of Qunshan, and on both sides of the road, houses of red bricks and green tiles rise from the ground, row upon row, stretching for hundreds of zhang before and after.

At a glance, there are at least hundreds.

And in the distance, there are still a large number of workers pulling red bricks and cement, and they are constantly building new houses.

In front of every red brick and blue tile house, all kinds of shop signs have been hung, and the door is like a market, and it is very lively.

On the cement avenue, the carriages full of goods are in a long queue, coming and going, people and horses shouting, endlessly.

These are all businessmen from several counties and counties that are competing with Xianyang and Hanzhong, and they have rushed to hear the wind.

Since a month ago.

After the return of the first merchants who entered Hanzhong.

'Hanzhong County people are stupid and have a lot of money', 'Free Trade Market', 'Exotic Vegetables and Vegetables', 'Qinping Avenue'······ and so on, and the news spread like the wind to the ears of merchants all over the Qin State.

Pause.

Countless businessmen came one after another.

In particular, many small businessmen who had no backers behind them, after confirming the news that Hanzhong County could trade freely, almost transported all the family funds they had accumulated for many years to Hanzhong at one time.

These family backgrounds were all goods that these small merchants had purchased from all over the world in the past, but because of the Qin State's policy of 'valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce', they had no chance to sell at all.

With the influx of a large number of merchants into Hanzhong at one time, the entire Hanzhong County suddenly boiled.

With the current economic level of Hanzhong, it is naturally impossible to eat the goods of so many merchants in one bite.

But if there are sellers, there will naturally be buyers.

Most of the merchants who came to Hanzhong to ship were small businessmen with little background, but the people who came here to buy goods were basically big businessmen with backers in the Qin State.

These big businessmen have backers and channels, and they don't worry about shipping, but they are worried about purchases.

This has nothing to do with the means of power, but the commercial policy of the Qin State, as well as the economic level, it is destined to be difficult to appear such a large-scale manufacturer at the moment.

In the past, if many merchants wanted to buy goods, they could only send a large number of convoys to remote villages and villages to collect them little by little.

So.

Just buying goods will cost a lot of manpower and time.

But now there is a 'free trading market' in Hanzhong County, where small merchants collect goods from all over the country, while large merchants only need to buy goods directly in Hanzhong, which is a convenient and fast thing for both sides.

And in the process of free trade, a little oil and water casually flowing out of the hands of these big businessmen and small businessmen is enough to raise the economic level of the entire Hanzhong to a higher level.

For example, now:

In fact, the new commercial tax law implemented by Mojun in Hanzhong has been spread to all five counties in Hanzhong County.

However, the vast majority of merchants still choose to trade in the suburbs outside Gunsan County when they come to Hanzhong.

Because this place is close to the [Mo Mansion], close to the headquarters of the [Xiong Ink Chamber of Commerce].

After Mojun implemented the new commercial tax law in Hanzhong, he was actually opposed by many Qin officials and nobles, because after the implementation of this new commercial tax law, many merchants who originally needed to survive under their wings and were oppressed have now broken free from their shackles, which has brought them extremely huge losses.

But these officials and nobles obviously didn't dare to make a loud noise in front of Mo Jun.

Therefore, they can only pour their anger on these merchants, and therefore now when these merchants do business outside Hanzhong, they are often suppressed from all sides.

In Hanzhong, the safest place to trade is undoubtedly near the headquarters of the [Mofu] and the [Xiongchumo Chamber of Commerce], because trading in this area, whether it is public or private, even if it is just to maintain the majesty of the new commercial tax law formulated by himself, Mojun must maintain the fairness of the entire market transaction.

This merchant is a good person, and naturally chooses the best place to trade.

With the gathering of a large number of businessmen, this originally desolate and remote suburb naturally generated a large number of demand markets.

It's very simple.

The people who come here to trade are all people, and since they are people, they must have the need for food, drink and shelter.

Those merchants can eat and live in the [Baichuan Restaurant Headquarters] by themselves, but the coachmen, subordinates, and slaves under their command can't also live with them!

Therefore, there is a large demand for inns and restaurants here.

Then, when these merchants moved and unloaded goods, they also needed enough manpower and coolies, and if they only relied on the few people they brought in, it was obviously not efficient.

As a result, there is an additional need for coolies and labor.

Where there is demand, there will naturally be a market.

Especially when Mo Jun also played a role behind the scenes, taking the initiative to build red brick and blue tile houses nearby, the speed of gathering people in this area suddenly became more rapid.

A large number of small businessmen paid for one or two houses that were used as temporary residences here.

Some even plan to build a new store headquarters here altogether.

Seeing the business opportunities, some local businessmen also came here to buy houses and land, and then opened inns, restaurants, grain, oil, rice and noodle shops.

Later, more ordinary people also found an opportunity, and they came here to sell their own wild game hunted from the mountains and homegrown local products.

So just one month.

This originally deserted suburb quickly gathered into a village-scale business circle.

And with the passage of time, this business circle is still spreading at an extremely alarming speed, towards the scale of towns and even counties······

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Merchants are the purest group of people in this world, and as long as there is enough interest, they can be lured to any uninhabited corner of the world. ”

Mo Jun shook a glass of mellow grape wine in his hand, sat by the window, looked at the prosperity below, and said lightly.

Fu Nian was surprised: "Shengping Jun seems to have a high opinion of Shang Jia? ”

Mo Jun replied: "Shang Jia is a sharp sword, if used properly, it is enough to split countless difficulties. ”

At this moment, I saw the six-fingered black man raise his head, wiped the corners of his mouth full of oil, and burped by the way, and said: "Hiccup~~ Although the sword is sharp, it has a double edge, if it is not used properly, be careful of hurting others and yourself." ”

When Mo Jun heard this, he first arched his hand towards the six-fingered black man, and said, "Thank you Mr. Meng for your advice, this gentleman will be careful." ”

The benefits and harms of Shang Jia are naturally clear to Mo Jun.

In fact, don't look at the current Mo Jun has opened up a new trading environment for these merchants, but in fact, Mo Jun has not given these merchants any other rights except for this environment.

In other words.

In fact, Mojun's new commercial tax law still adheres to the concept of 'emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business'.

It's just that the new commercial tax law in Hanzhong is not as strong as the policy suppression of the Shangjun change law.

Now Mo Jun has also established a new department in Hanzhong, called [Commercial Supervision Division].

Name implies.

The biggest role of this department is to supervise the commercial market of the entire Hanzhong.

The new commercial tax law implemented by Mojun in Hanzhong was very strict in the supervision of merchants, but anyone who investigated and punished merchants for tax evasion and tax evasion of more than 100 gold directly seized their family property and beheaded them for public display.

Besides.

The [Xiong Chumo Chamber of Commerce] under Mo Jun plays a role in market regulation in Hanzhong.

Originally, Mojun planned to set up a public chamber of commerce in the name of the government, so as to intervene in the HZ market and regulate the market.

But in the end he gave up on the idea.

The main reason is that the official name is not easy to use at the moment, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the next more than a thousand years, the entire Central Plains is the world of clans, families, and gate valves.

Just like the Qin State today, in various local counties, the name of the government is far less useful than the reputation of the local nobles and old landlords.

Only magic can defeat magic.

Rather than having problems at that time, using the laws of the Qin State to pull the nobles behind the group of big businessmen may not have any effect in the end.

It is better to let Mo Jun himself become the largest 'clan gate' in the entire Han Dynasty.

Fight evil with evil.

Countering violence with violence.

That's the easiest and most effective way to do it.

After thanking the six-fingered black man for his kindness, Mo Jun looked at him again and continued: "It seems that Mr. Meng is quite satisfied with the food of this [Baichuan Restaurant] opened by Ben Jun?" ”

The six-fingered black man said: "Let Shengping Jun smile, the disciples of the Mo family are all from poor backgrounds, they have never seen any great world, and they have not enjoyed any glory and wealth. If it weren't for Sheng Pingjun's invitation, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to taste such a delicacy in the world in my next life. ”

After that, the six-fingered black man looked at Fu Nian in some surprise, and said: "It's Mr. Fu Nian, who is worthy of being a Confucian family from a small sage village, and he can be indifferent even if such a delicacy is placed in front of him, it seems that the land of Qilu is really an outstanding person!" ”

However, hearing his words, Fu Nian shook his head with a smile and a smile, and said: "Senior Meng misunderstood this point, although Fu Nian was a Confucian, he had not yet reached the realm of a saint, so he naturally couldn't resist the temptation of appetite." ”

"The reason why the food is still in danger is because I have enjoyed many delicious foods in Mofu in recent days."

"Senior Meng may still know something, although the chef of this Baichuan Restaurant, "Master Ding", has extraordinary cooking skills, but his cooking skills are completely from the guidance of this Shengping Jun in front of you! ”
