"In order to ensure that businessmen can get the greatest guarantee when they go to sea, Lord Li decided to set up a chamber of commerce in person, and all businessmen who are willing to participate in the chamber of commerce can go to sea with Lord Li to do business."

"The number of places is limited, tonight in Zuichun Building, Lord Li will conduct business negotiations with the Chamber of Commerce, and if you are willing to do so, please participate."

The officials were beating gongs and drums in the inn, and they were constantly shouting at the city gate and on the street.

These businessmen didn't expect Hepu County to open the sea, and they actually wanted to participate in any chamber of commerce, which made them scratch their heads for a while.

And some of the earliest businessmen who followed Li Jin have long been familiar with this matter.

The reason why Shanghu County was able to rise rapidly was that it relied on the composition of a chamber of commerce, and each industry would basically have a chamber of commerce, which could quickly make an industry bigger and stronger.

After all, in a chamber of commerce, Li Jin carries out unified integration and management, without vicious competition, under the virtuous circle, it will not cause waste of resources and internal friction, and the industry can develop more healthily.

Now that Li Jin is going to repeat his old tricks in Hepu County, he is naturally sought after by businessmen from Shanghu County.

That night, all the merchants in Hepu County flocked into the Zuichun Building, although they didn't know what Li Jin was doing, but the businessman's sense of smell was still very sensitive.

Li Jin looked at the overcrowded Qinglou, but this time he didn't come forward to shout, but directly gave this opportunity to Zhu Biao.

Li Jin only came forward to make an opening remarks at the beginning, and then Zhu Biaolai was fully responsible for the investment conference.

Under the chairmanship of Zhu Biao, the investment promotion conference went very smoothly, and basically all the businessmen contributed money to the sea-going chamber of commerce established by Li Jin.

This time, Li Jin only raised less than five million taels of silver, and for him, five million taels of silver was enough to do a lot of things on his own.

Immediately, the port of Hepu County began to gather large ships, and the first opening of the sea was imminent, and Li Jin took the silver and continued to be his own infrastructure maniac.

A series of infrastructure, such as highways, port expansions, and shipyards, were all erected, and Li Jin even built a small military factory for the follow-up war.

Of course, the main role of military factories is to provide ammunition, and the production of weapons also needs to be provided by Shanghu County.

In the blink of an eye, it was half a month, and the businessmen of Hepu County were very busy in this half month, and they were constantly transporting materials to Hepu County every day.

Cloth, ceramics, silk and other specialties of the Ming Dynasty were constantly brought in by them from all over the world, in order to follow Li Jin's fleet to the sea, and then make a windfall.

waited until everything was ready, and Zhu Di, under Li Jin's order, began to lead the fleet and opened the first sea opening in Hepu County.

The value of the goods going to sea this time was close to three million taels of silver, and Li Jin stipulated that the city shipping department would collect one-tenth of the tax, which means that Li Jin collected 300,000 taels of silver for Hepu County in just one opening of the sea.

With the tax level of Hepu County, these 300,000 taels are enough for them to collect for 20 years, and they may not be able to collect them.

Li Jin, who had the silver, frantically mobilized the natives around Hepu County to recruit, hire, and give relief.

Li Jin used all his strength to get the natives out of the mountains continuously, and then did not hesitate to throw them into the infrastructure of the entire Qinzhou.

Now that the highway from Hepu to Maoming in Guangdong Province has been built, in addition to seven other roads to Sichuan, Guangxi, Hunan and other places, all of which are planned.
