"Ministry of Commerce!"

"Evil Doctor Fan Zheng is going to the imperial court to form the seventh department, the Ministry of Commerce!"

……………………

This news spread throughout the government and the opposition, and immediately caused an uproar.

"I heard in my future that the evil doctor Fan Zheng loves evil prescriptions, but the evil doctor Fan Zheng is not only like this, but now I am afraid that he has gone on the evil road! How dare a lowly businessman make a self-contained one! ”

"Yes, businessmen are the harm of the world, they don't produce, they raise prices, and it is not beneficial to the country, how can He De be ranked in the seventh department of the imperial court."

………………

"Nope! It is precisely because the merchants are harmful that the imperial court needs to manage more, and I agree with Fan Taicheng's policy, just as Fan Taicheng proposed the strategy of bringing disaster to the east, so that the merchants can open up the maritime Silk Road, and today the Great Song Dynasty formed the Ministry of Commerce, which can not only reap the benefits of the merchants, but also avoid the harm of the merchants, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

There are also people who agree with the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce in combination with Fan Zheng's proposal for the Maritime Silk Road.

After all, as Fan Zheng said, the proportion of the Great Song Dynasty's land tax has dropped significantly, and the commercial tax has become the main force of the Great Song Dynasty's tax, which is related to the finance of the Great Song Dynasty and naturally needs to be managed.

"Those profiteers are cunning and treacherous, and they are often abducted and deceived, so naturally they must be strictly managed."

There are also people who hate the harm of merchants, and now the imperial court has set up a ministry of commerce to directly govern the affairs of merchants and severely punish profiteers, which is naturally very happy.

All of a sudden, the government and the opposition were divided into two factions for the formation of the Ministry of Commerce, with some supporters and more opposers, and the two sides argued with each other, and neither could convince the other.

"Form a Ministry of Commerce?"

This proposal has caused a storm in the business world.

Since ancient times, the status of merchants has been extremely low, many merchants even have a lot of wealth, but they can't even wear silk, let alone participate in the imperial examination, even weddings and funerals, or ordinary contacts are discriminated against by the world, and now Fan Zheng proposed to form a Ministry of Commerce, which made Shangjia see the hope of changing his status.

Of course, there are also some businessmen who have doubts, and now they have been repeatedly blackmailed, if the Ministry of Commerce is established, then they are not fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered.

If the imperial court establishes a Ministry of Commerce, then they can no longer be lawless, and they will even be liquidated, but the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce is beneficial to the merchants, and they can only secretly make a loop, and they still agree with both hands on the surface.

"Three Ming Dynasty businessmen in the world, thank you for your righteous words!"

In Kaifeng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Fan Sanming solemnly saluted Fan Zheng.

Fan Sanming, as a businessman, how can he not know the status of a businessman, he was once a victim of collusion between officials and businessmen, obviously wronged, but there is nowhere to reason, now Fan Zheng took the initiative to speak for businessmen, proposed to form a Ministry of Commerce, and let Fan Sanming completely return to his heart.

Fan Zheng said calmly: "You are also a businessman, you naturally know the nature of businessmen, once the Ministry of Commerce is established, like a sharp sword hanging on the head of Shangjia, do you really think it is a good thing?" ”

Fan Sanming was silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly and said, "Not bad!" This is a good thing for businessmen, for thousands of years, businessmen have been slaughtered by others, ridiculed and excluded by the world, we have had enough of such days, and now that the Ministry of Commerce has been established, businessmen can be treated fairly, even if they pay high taxes, we have no regrets. ”

Everyone in the world knows that businessmen are rich, and they are both envious and jealous of businessmen, and they turn to form a suppression, almost every businessman will be extorted and extorted by officials.

Shangjia has been surviving in the cracks of the imperial court, seemingly rich, but in fact, he is afraid, and even in troubled times, he is like a fat sheep, becoming the fat meat of countless people, coveted by others, and even causing disasters.

And Fan Zheng's proposal to set up a Ministry of Commerce made Fan Sanming see the hope of changing the status of the business, and Fan Sanming was naturally excited.

Fan Zheng glanced at Fan Sanming appreciatively and said: "You should know that the reason why Shangjia is suppressed is that the world covets the wealth in the hands of Shangjia, but the inferiority of Shangjia itself is the real reason. ”

Although Fan Zheng sympathized with Shang Jia's situation, he also knew the disadvantages of Shang Jia, and Shang Jia was able to fall to the current point for many reasons, and it was not an exaggeration to blame him.

Fan Sanming's face suddenly darkened, how could he, as a businessman, not know the bad root of the businessman - greed, this bad root is of course the reason why the businessman is rich, but also the reason why the businessman is despised.

Fan Zheng's words changed and said: "Have you ever thought that the law change business? ”

"Changing the law? Can merchants change the law? ”

Fan Sanming was suddenly shocked and looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief.

"Of course, merchants can change the law! Since you have entered the doctor's family, you should also understand the medical theory, a person is sick, and the medicine alone can only save it for a while, but it cannot be fully recovered, the key to healing is to be physically strong, and the same is true for businessmen, even if Fan proposes to form a Ministry of Commerce, I am afraid that it still cannot change the status quo of businessmen, if businessmen want to change the status quo, then they can only change the law to be strong, just like the Great Song Dynasty to change the law from their own strength. ”

Fan Sanming's breath suddenly stagnated, and a fine light flashed in his eyes: "Please also ask the owner to guide me on the way to change the law!" ”

He has been following Fan Zheng and personally initiated Fan Zheng's reforms, so that the Great Song Dynasty has been repeatedly subjected to Liaoxia pressure to now fighting against Liaoxia. If Fan Zheng is asked to guide businessmen to change the law, they will definitely be able to change the oppressed status of businessmen.

Fan Zheng pointed out: "The three provinces and six ministries have been in operation for hundreds of years, and they have been praised by the past dynasties, and now Fan has proposed to form a Ministry of Commerce, why will the officials discuss it later." ”

Fan Sanming said without hesitation: "Because the imperial court is short of money, the proportion of commercial taxes in the Great Song Dynasty is getting larger and larger, and the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce can provide more taxes for the imperial court." ”

The lack of money in the Great Song Dynasty is well known to the world, otherwise this time it would not have made a big move to become a French-run workshop.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, but you also forgot that the reason why the official family allowed it to be discussed later was also because he was worried about the harm of the merchants, which would cause trouble to the dynasty in the future. ”

"Let the officials and the court let down their guard?" Fan Sanming couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly fell into silence.

How to reassure the imperial court, is it necessary to put money in the imperial court and let the imperial court use it to reassure the imperial court, or to bear more taxes?

"Of course not!" Fan Zheng naturally saw Fan Sanming's thoughts, and said loudly at the moment: "What the court wants is not money, but a stable Great Song Dynasty, and the court wants to be a child who is not bullied!" Fair and just, take the initiative to pay taxes, do not hoard, do not raise prices, and take the initiative to solve problems for the imperial court, a businessman who belongs to the unique Song Dynasty ,—— Song businessman! ”

"Song Shang!" Fan Sanming was short of breath, and suddenly fell into a reverie, Shang Jia named it after the Great Song Dynasty, what a glory it would be.

"If a merchant wants to become a Song merchant, he must gain the trust of the imperial court, and he must treat his own shortcomings and contribute to the society for the imperial court, instead of lying on the body of the Great Song Dynasty to suck blood and become a parasite of the Great Song Dynasty. Fan Zheng said bluntly.

Fan Sanming nodded with deep understanding, he was once a victim of collusion between officials and businessmen, and even joined the doctor to become a pharmacist, and he personally experienced the difference between pharmacists and ordinary businessmen, so it can be said that he empathizes with what Fan Zheng said.

"Thank you for your advice!"

Fan Sanming said solemnly to Fan Zheng.

"If you understand this, Fan is very pleased, although you used to be a businessman, but you have entered my doctor's family, if you can take the lead in changing the law of business, so that businessmen can change from the harm of the Great Song Dynasty to the benefit of the Great Song Dynasty, once the Ministry of Commerce is formed, the court is all officials, and they are not proficient in commercial affairs, and they need the assistance of people who are proficient in business, and Fan can guarantee you a future at that time!" Fan Zhenglang said.

"As a businessman, the grass people can also enter the Ministry of Commerce?" Fan Sanming said in disbelief.

Fan Zheng waved his hand and said: "How can the Ministry of Industry not have a master craftsman, the Ministry of Commerce will naturally be able to use businessmen, not to mention that you have already entered the doctor's family, and now you are a medicine merchant, and you have broken away from the lowly status, not to mention that if you change the law and become a businessman, then you will have a meritorious role in the court and the society, and it is not that you cannot be promoted!" ”

Fan Zheng did not draw a big pie for Fan Sanming, once Fan Sanming took the lead in changing the law of merchants, let the merchants change their shortcomings, and let the taxes of the Great Song Dynasty increase year after year, the identity of the former businessman was not enough to become an obstacle for him to enter the court.

Fan Sanming couldn't help but breathe, after a long time, he calmed down and said solemnly to Fan Zheng: "Sanming has done business all his life, and the most successful business is to cooperate with the owner. ”

"The doctor's resources can be at your disposal this time, if you need my cooperation, you can also speak up!" Fan Zhengdao.

Fan Sanming bowed his hand and said, "Please ask the owner to publish an article in the newspaper on behalf of the owner!" ”

"Di Bao?" Fan Zheng raised his eyebrows?

Fan Sanming nodded and said, "Yes, it's Di Bao!" Only one person and one shop cannot change the merchants at all, and only by letting all the merchants from all over the world participate in it can the name of the Song merchants spread throughout the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Yes!"

Fan Zhenglang said.

…………………………

Di Bao has now become an indispensable newspaper of the Song Dynasty, and under the technological innovation of movable type printing, the printing speed of Di Bao is getting faster and faster.

Although there are many tabloids among the people, they all report some lace things, and if you really want to know about national events, you still need to read the Di Bao.

Sun Yangzheng store,

Today, there are high-rollers who directly chartered Sun Yangzheng's store, which made Sun Shopkeeper very excited, since the prince Zhao Tong raised pigs, pork has gradually become the mainstream meat of the people in Kaifeng, and Sun Yangzheng's main mutton, its status has gradually declined.

Such a high-roller came to the door, he naturally attached great importance to it, and ordered some Di newspapers as usual and put them in the store for your objective view, but when he picked up the Di newspaper, he was instantly attracted by an article.

"Song Shang!"

In the article, the miserable situation of the Song Dynasty businessmen was greatly touched by the opening chapter, which simply touched the heart of the shopkeeper Sun.

Sun shopkeeper opened Sun Yangzheng store in Kaifeng City, which was once famous in Bianjing, but he was not less blackmailed and blackmailed by officials, in addition to bearing taxes every year, the annual filial piety is also essential, not to mention that there are some people who eat white food, it is everywhere, even he is miserable.

However, the article then changed its words, bluntly saying that businessmen are short of catties and two, tax evasion, hoarding, and the disadvantages of fake and real things make Sun's shopkeeper sit on pins and needles, and he doesn't know that these chaos is the key to businessmen.

Finally, the article calls for changing the law and changing the disadvantages of businessmen, and creating a new type of businessman who is not bullied, takes the initiative to pay taxes, takes the initiative to pay taxes, does not hoard, and does not raise prices-Song Shang!

"Song Shang!"

At this moment, Shopkeeper Sun understood the meaning of Song Shang, and even more understood that Song Shang's proposal was probably to cooperate with the proposal of the Ministry of Commerce of the imperial court.

"Ministry of Commerce! Song Shang! ”

Shopkeeper Sun suddenly fell silent, if the imperial court established a Ministry of Commerce, and the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty were all in peace, he naturally raised his hands in agreement, but is it really that simple?

And he felt that this style was extremely familiar, and he couldn't help but look at the signature of this article, Fan Sanming!

"It's him!"

Shopkeeper Sun suddenly realized that although Fan Sanming had withdrawn from the Kaifeng business world and joined the doctor's family, he had not been in contact with him for a long time, but how could Shopkeeper Sun forget this former enemy.

"No wonder it smells like evil recipes!" Shopkeeper Sun couldn't help but sneer.

Since Fan Sanming followed Fan Zheng to join the medical family, he has been in charge of the medical family's pharmaceutical business, and with the great prosperity of the medical family, Fan Sanming can be said to be prosperous, and he is even more out of his lowly status, and the Kaifeng businessman is even more envious and jealous.

But he didn't expect that Fan Sanming had been following the evil doctor Fan Zheng for a long time, and he was still preparing to change the law business, and the shopkeeper Sun couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

"Shopkeeper Sun has been gone for a long time!" Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded, and Shopkeeper Sun looked up, and it was Fan Sanming.

"It turned out to be Brother Fan, I'm really embarrassed, the shop has been contracted today." Shopkeeper Sun got up and apologized.

Fan Sanming laughed and said: "It's in the next place, this matter has not been explicitly stated, please forgive Brother Sun!" ”

"It's yours!" Shopkeeper Sun couldn't help but exclaim.

"The matter is urgent, and I also hope that Brother Sun Haihan, today I borrowed the treasure land, and I happened to discuss the major affairs of my business with Brother Sun." Fan Sanming laughed and said.

"Shopkeeper Sun, shopkeeper Fan!"

Soon, the shopkeeper of the Kaifeng silk tycoon Tang held a newspaper and appeared in Sun Yangzheng's store.

Immediately afterwards, the porcelain magnate Liu shopkeeper, the largest ironware workshop Zhao shopkeeper, the grain rich merchant Wang shopkeeper ........................, and one by one the wealthy merchants of Kaifeng City held the Di newspaper, all of which were invited.

Shopkeeper Sun looked at Fan Sanming on the side solemnly, Fan Sanming used the connections of the medicine merchant, in the name of Song Shang, and in the name of the newspaper, and the newspaper of the palace, an invitation letter made the wealthy merchants of Kaifeng come one after another, and Fan Sanming at this moment has become a veritable person in the Kaifeng business community.

When Shopkeeper Sun saw this scene, he couldn't help but think that when he and Fan Sanming were competing for the liquor recipe at the gate of the Taiyi Bureau, if he had Fan Sanming's courage, I am afraid that he would be the leader of the entire Kaifeng business community now. (End of chapter)
