What is a business association?

Although everyone present heard this name for the first time, as Liu Jian explained a little, everyone knew it in their hearts.

To put it bluntly, it is an organization that redistributes the interests of all walks of life under the guise of maintaining the market order of all industries in Hebei.

If it is a non-governmental voluntary organization, it is estimated that it will be useless in this case, and it will only be in name.

But now the point is that this organization is led by the State Pastoral Agency.

What do you mean?

This means that this organization has an official background and is led by the government!

Liu Jian wants to meddle in the commercial affairs of the Northland.

From the perspective of the State Pastoral Administration, he participated in the distribution of commercial interests in Hebei, and he was quite ambitious.

Logically speaking, Liu Jian is the pastor of Jizhou.

Shouldn't the business federation led by Jizhou Mu be called "Jizhou Business Federation"?

Why is it called "Hebei Chamber of Commerce"?

Just by looking at this one name, you can see the clue.

This person's appetite is not small, and his vision is not small.

Moreover, the name of his "business association" organization is actually quite annoying in a sense.

Although it is obvious that the "federation" will inevitably damage the interests of some families, the damaged part is not in Liu Jian's trouser pocket.

Instead, it was divided up by other families.

Because we are all members of the federation, there is no reason for anyone to take it.

This is what will not make Liu Jian, as a shepherd, fall into the target of public criticism.

Wooing some and suppressing part is Liu Jian's forte.

He never set up everyone as an enemy of the stage.

Even if they are all enemies, they should first treat some enemies as friends, kill those enemies, and then destroy these enemies.

Moreover, what made Hebei's well-dressed giants helpless was that Liu Jian established the "Hebei Commerce and Trade Federation", and the first batch of members was obviously dominated by the Hanmen Shu people.

However, this "trade fair" is only an organization used to divide Hebei's commercial interests, and it is not an example of filial piety and honesty.

Although looking at those poor families is an eyesore, but the well-dressed and well-dressed families, the Wang family really can't say anything.

Because this organization is not aimed at how to be an official, people do not grab political resources.

Everyone is just studying how to make money and standardize the distribution of business.

It's not your patent to make money, is it?

The rich people present seriously thought about the nature of this "Hebei Commerce and Trade Federation", and then roughly figured out how it operates.

It is said that it is to balance the market of Hebei's industries, but in fact, it is to grab business in a group.

This organization has not touched the political interests of the well-dressed giants, and no one has any reason to oppose it.

Besides, even if it's against it, there's no point.

The chamber of commerce established by the state pastor, an organization with the official background of the Han Dynasty, is an iron signboard.

At the moment, you and I began to discuss this matter.

Obviously, there is still a lot of interest in this business association.

But in fact, Liu Jian set up a business association, and stealing business was not his main goal.

The key is that he needs to use the official background, the contradiction between the well-dressed family and the Hanmen Shu clan, unite some people, and obtain another key thing while creating common interests, that is, pricing power.

The local tycoons and the right giants joined forces to raise the price of grain and control the price of horses, which was used to influence the policies of the local county offices and control wealth, and if this kind of thing was in peacetime, it might be controlled by means such as central allocation or control of currency issuance.

But once it comes to troubled times, this kind of thing is uncontrollable.

Half a horse of red silk and a zhang of silk, tied to the head of the cow to fill the charcoal straight.

This kind of thing was also innumerable in ancient dynasties, including the bad government of the official eunuchs, and the joint control of the market trend by the local nobles and wealthy families.

If the pricing power is controlled by the local wealthy family, then as the head of the party, if he wants to take it back, he will inevitably have to set off a bloody storm.

I really can't do it.

Prioritizing the initiative can save a lot of money.

Because the political system and business model are different from those of later generations, the name of this "federation" can be copied from later generations, but the detailed system and division of labor cannot be copied.

It doesn't matter what other details, Liu Jian only adheres to one principle: the state pastoral office leads.

The group of people studied it for a long time, and even saved the banquet they gathered today.

After two and a half hours of discussion, a rough framework was finally agreed upon.

At this time, the sun had set, the sky was dark, and everyone got up one after another to bid farewell to Liu Jian.

Liu Jian beckoned the officials to send a group of people out, led them to the Yecheng Pavilion to rest for a while, and tomorrow, let everyone come to the mansion again to gather and continue to discuss this matter.

These people came from all over the counties of Jizhou and Youzhou to see Liu Jian, and the things they wanted to discuss naturally could not be discussed in one day, and it was estimated that they had to discuss with Liu Jian for seven or eight days here.

After the group left, Liu Jian stretched his waist and looked at the sky outside the window.

It's dark!

Well, it's time to go back to the back house to find Bian Yu'er.

Originally, when he was in Luoyang, Bian Yuer was just his slave, not his concubine, he could only talk to her once in a while, and it was a bit unreasonable to ask for it frequently, and he couldn't say anything about Zheng Ci.

But now, Bian Yuer has become her own concubine.

And after he went to Jizhou to serve as a pastor, he only had such a concubine to follow, Liu Jian could be in a room with Bian Yuer every day.

In history, why Cao Cao liked Bian Yuer so much Liu Jian didn't know, but Liu Jian really liked Bian Yuer now.

Liu Jian was just about to go to the back hall, but he saw the assistant coming in a hurry, and said to Liu Jian at the door of the hall:

"Envoy, Zhen Yi of the Zhen family of Zhongshan turned back on the way to the post house and wanted to meet the envoy."

"Turning back?"

Liu Jian raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

In the process of discussing with a group of wealthy businessmen from the Hanmen Shu clan, that Zhen Yi didn't seem to say much, but he didn't speak until he had to speak.

If he had to speak, he would just pop out a few words sporadically, giving people a very thin, cold and non-existent feeling.

On the other hand, Gongsun Fan, like Zhen Yi, is a person from a 2,000-stone high gate, and he is very active in the discussion of how to establish a "chamber of commerce".

Now this Zhen Yi has returned to the pastoral office...... But he was carrying the others who came with him on his back.

Hehe.

Liu Jian put Bian Yu'er behind his head for the time being, and then sat on the main seat and instructed the officials:

"Invite him in."

"Yui."

When he was young, he saw Zhen Yi go and return under the leadership of the officials.

Thirty-year-old Zhen Yi had a pale face, purple lips, and Yin Tang was a little blue.

In fact, when Shicai was discussing with everyone, Liu Jian found that Zhen Yi's state was a little wrong.

This is a sign of a stubborn illness.

It seems that he is not in good health.

Since you are not in good health, what are you doing here? Just choose individual children and nephews at home, what is this picture.

"Brother Zhen."

Liu Jian stretched out his hand, invited Zhen Yi to sit down, and said, "Brother Zhen went and returned, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" ”

Zhen Yi coughed lightly twice, and then arched his hand and said: "The envoy is above, Zhen Yi has something important to say, so I won't be polite to the envoy today." ”

Liu Jian raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this.

In the Han Dynasty, it is really rare for a scholar to go straight to the topic so directly.

Zhen Yi said: "Although the Zhen family has been in business for generations, it is not a pure businessman's door, and the three generations of the family also have two thousand stone officials, Zhen was also born in the past, and at the age of twenty-five, he also served as Cai Ling on a thousand stones, but because of physical reasons, he had to abandon the official ......"

Liu Jian nodded and said: "I know this, if it weren't for his physical illness, with Brother Zhen's talent, he would be able to inherit the official position of two thousand stones sooner or later." ”

Zhen Yi sighed: "It's a pity, my life is short." ”

Liu Jian was stunned when he heard this.

However, taking a closer look at Zhen Yi's face, he was also relieved.

Liu Jian, a medical layman, can see at a glance that Zhen Yi has a physical problem, with the strength and financial resources of the Zhen family, it is estimated that he doesn't know how many famous doctors Zhen Yi has found.

But it's a pity, it seems that none of those famous doctors can save Zhen Yi's life.

Liu Jian comforted: "Brother Zhen, don't be discouraged, a minor illness will be cured sooner or later." ”

Zhen Yi smiled faintly and said, "Life and death are already destined for me, it doesn't matter...... It's just that I was less than thirty years old, so I abandoned the official and returned home, and now my life is in danger, I am afraid that after my death, the sons under my knees are young and have no one to support, and I am afraid that I will cut off the way to enter the government in the future, which is what I am most worried about. ”

"If you think about it, you can also see that I have been emaciated in human form because of my stubborn disease, and my disease has entered the bone marrow, and I will die sooner or later."

"Zhen Yi came to Yecheng in person from Zhongshan Country with illness this time, just to find a support for his family and future generations before he died."

"After all, the Zhen family's 2,000-stone gate can't be folded in this generation because of my early death."

"Listen to the words of the envoy and want to establish a "chamber of commerce", which can be described as far-sighted, and it is really a hero's handwriting! ”

"This is not Yi deliberately touted, but Zhen Yi is also the son of an official eunuch, and he has served as the county magistrate of Qianshi, so he can figure out the intentions of the envoy more than others."

"It's just that although the gentleman's plan is good, it won't be effective immediately after all."

"According to Zhen Yi's point of view, if you want to quickly exert your power on the Jizhou families, you must have a famous, powerful, and financially powerful family, so that you can stand up first and spare no effort to support the envoy, so that the envoy's strategy can get twice the result with half the effort!"

"Zhen boasted in vain, the Zhen family is also a hereditary gate of two thousand stones, prosperous people, and has been doing business in Zhongshan for several generations, whether it is in the government office or in business, it is quite powerful in Jizhou!"

"As long as the envoy is willing, the Zhen family is willing to be a pawn of the horse, resist the taboo of the Jizhou clans, and open up the situation for the envoy in Jizhou!"

Liu Jian was first surprised, then hesitated, and finally suddenly realized.

He was surprised that Zhen Yi was able to say such things when he met him for the first time today.

In and out of his words, it seems that he wants to carry the entire Zhen family to recognize the Lord!

And he is impatient to admit the Lord, very anxious, and does not hide it at all.

The ensuing hesitation was that Liu Jian felt that there would be a problem here.

In the end, it was an understanding of Zhen Yi's current situation.

As the head of the Zhen family, he is just thirty years old, which shows that he also inherited the position of head of the family at the age of the weak crown.

The head of the two-thousand-stone gate is under great pressure.

They must do everything they can to borrow the resources of the previous generation to make themselves two thousand stones, which is what every two thousand stone gate family master must do, and it is also the only basis for judging whether they are qualified as the family master.

According to the inspection system of the Han Dynasty and the rules of the local career of the well-dressed scholars, since the Zhen family is already in this game circle, they will not be kicked out under normal circumstances.

Unless......

Unless the head of the house dies early!

Based on Zhen Yi's current age, he is Chinese New Year's Eve years old this year, and it seems that he has been a father-in-law for many years, which means that his father died quite early.

When Zhen Yi was young, before his political career developed, his father died, and political resources were easily cut off.

If he wanted to climb up again, it would be difficult.

But the disaster is not alone, now Zhen Yi is only thirty years old, and he is about to finish playing.

The early death of two generations of family heads in a row is a huge variable for the Zhen family!

How old is his son now?

When his son can raise filial piety, and then he wants to operate for two thousand stones, Zhen Yi has been dead for a long time, who will help a dead man's face?

The early death of two generations of family heads can easily ruin the political future of their Zhen family's future two thousand stones.

has a living father or a dead father, for a second generation of officials, the effect is very different.

Therefore, Zhen Yicai has to find a backer for his son in the shortest possible time!

Even if he dies in the future, someone has to help his son continue this 2,000-stone family.

The whole Jizhou, now look horizontally and vertically, and then compare the distance of the relationship......

For Zhen Yi, it seems that Liu Jian is really the most suitable.

Therefore, Zhen Yi decided that he would rather not be on good terms with other well-dressed families in Jizhou, but also fully support Liu Jian's actions in Jizhou.

used the Zhen family to be Liu Jian's pawn and give his son Bo a future.

I have to say, Zhen Yi bet right!

Liu Jian really needs a two-thousand-stone family that swears allegiance to him now!
