Listening to the voices one after another, the emperor was excited, and found out that he could raise food by himself, as long as he came out to hang around, these merchants would be generous, and the people still believed in him as the emperor!

"Cheng Daqi, I order you to deal with this matter with full authority, and make a register of all the money and food donated by these righteous people and send it to my hands.

Cheng Daqi hurriedly gave up his hand, pulled a large amount of money to everyone: "Thank you for your righteousness, you can go to Shunyi Bo to find my second brother to register later, please rest assured, the money and grain donated by you will be a lot, and it will be sent to the emperor without a penny, and the emperor will arrange it together." ”

After that, the emperor said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been busy recently, and most of the disaster relief matters are handled by my brother, and he is also in contact with the merchants. ”

The Emperor nodded, very approvingly, "In this way, you two brothers will do this together." ”

"The merchants in this capital are led by you, and I am very relieved."

Cheng Daqian hurriedly gave up, feeling a little excited in his heart, and began to believe that his eldest brother really wanted to give him an official position.

The emperor should not stay outside the palace for a long time, only Cheng Daqi and a group of guards accompanied him on the way out of the palace, when he returned to the palace, it was half of the city's people to send each other, he was inexplicably agitated in the car, and returned to the palace The chief eunuch bowed forward, "Your Majesty, rest." ”

The emperor shook his head, and only today did he feel that this emperor was interesting, and Daqi also said that many merchants in the capital have relied on the scholars, and those people he can shout are either unwilling to deal with the scholars, and some of them are not looked down upon by the scholars.

Daqi is really his lucky star.

On this day, the whole city was boiling, the business of the teahouse and the restaurant was much better, everywhere was talking about the emperor's care for the people out of the palace, and the Shunyi Bofu was even more lively.

"The position of the president of our Beijing Chamber of Commerce is none other than the uncle, with the uncle leading us, we can live a good life."

"Uncle, we didn't think about it well before, but this time we have discussed it, everyone got together to share the worries of the king, these tens of thousands of people really can't do it, how about it in the name of our Beijing Chamber of Commerce?"

The president of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce had an accident three months ago, the position has been empty for three months, there are a lot of competitors, several large merchants are competing very strongly with the support of the backers, but today the emperor said to Cheng Daqi, "The merchants in the capital have you to lead me very relieved", no accident, the president of the Chamber of Commerce is one of the Cheng brothers.

Cheng Daqi beckoned everyone to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea, "Don't hide it from everyone, the emperor has appointed me to take care of this matter, and in the future, the difficulties encountered by each family's business can come to me to discuss, our Cheng family was originally a merchant, and everyone knows what the foundation is, and knows everyone's difficulties, since I sit in this position, it will definitely be for the well-being of our merchants." ”

"It's for everyone's good, but also for my own good, everyone knows what kind of life the merchants in Dongshu live, I envy it, I believe you are also envious, but our ancestors have been here for generations, and we can't leave it."

"I'm thinking, if we can work together to make the imperial court pay attention to us, so that we can be like the merchants in Dongshu, with good government decree support and good soil for us to grow, why not?"

This can be said to everyone's hearts, and Boss Zhou, who took the lead in donating, said, "Let's do business, make money to pay taxes to the imperial court, and we are willing, but the premise is that we want to earn silver, right?" ”

"yes, yes."

Everyone nodded, and Cheng Xiaosi, who was called by Cheng Daqi, also felt that the current business environment was really a bit poor, there was no incentive policy, and the decrees that could be issued were all exploitation, and mutual reporting was also encouraged, which made people panic.

"Uncles, it's better to tell all the difficulties we are encountering at the moment, we can solve them by ourselves, and if we can't solve them, let my father take these problems to the emperor."

Everyone didn't think it was inappropriate for a girl's family to speak on this occasion, their merchants didn't pay attention to this, and many families were daughters-in-law in charge of major affairs.

So everyone began to talk about their sleepiness, such as taking the waterway to deliver goods to the capital, not to mention that there are too many charging points, and unloading at the Beijing wharf is also a problem, and the cost of stacking goods is extremely high.

There are also people who take the land route, there are many mountain bandits, and the road is not easy to walk, can you allow the post house opened by the imperial court to receive these merchants.

There are also people who say that the security in the capital is not good, and those who do business and collect protection money come one after another.

Cheng Youqian kept recording on the side, everyone discussed, some problems were solved, and some problems were waiting for Cheng Daqi to get the emperor to ruling, and when they walked out of the gate of Shunyi Bofu, the merchants laughed in unison, they had been in the Chamber of Commerce for so long, and they felt that they were particularly comfortable doing things today.

"That's what the Chamber of Commerce should look like."

Instead of eating and drinking all day long, inquiring about the relationship and giving gifts.

The next morning, the emperor who had been in arrears for two months paid a salary, and at the same time vigorously praised Cheng Daqi's profit, and there was no one in the court who didn't know about yesterday's affairs, some frowned and some smiled, no matter what, they were relieved to get it.

"Thank you, uncle."

"Uncle is still capable."

Then he took office and brought in money and grain.

Cheng Daqi was very polite, "It's all the intentions of all merchants in Beijing, and for this reason, the emperor also went out of the palace in person, I don't dare to be greedy." ”

This is very interesting, several courtiers subconsciously thought that the emperor personally went out to raise money and food in order to give them money, and immediately sighed, the court spends a lot, there are holes everywhere, and I heard that the border is also uneasy, General Xijin Wen sharpened his knife and wanted to try their depth, the emperor was not easy.

"Let's go, go to work, I can't help the emperor, I can't let the emperor worry."

"Yes, this year's wind and rain are smooth, and the autumn grain will be fine."

The emperor soon understood these reactions, smiled even more happily, and became more and more satisfied with Cheng Daqi in his heart.

What made him more satisfied happened half a month later, Cheng Daqian, who had returned to his hometown, came back and brought back a few bitter masters, the emperor looked at Cheng Daqi and sent the excerpt angrily, Cheng Daqi was already able to gradually touch the emperor's temper, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is a great gift prepared by the Weichen brothers for the emperor." ”
