Chapter 381: Establishment of the Ministry of Commerce

"Song Shang!"

When the officials heard this, they couldn't help but be in a trance!

Naturally, a number of officials had also seen the article on Song Shang's initiative in the Di newspaper, but at that time, they all scoffed at it, and no one believed it.

After all, in the impression of many officials, businessmen are all hoarders and shoddy profiteers, and it is simply a fool's dream to want them to follow the concept of Song Shang.

Nowadays, a large number of grain merchants have sent affordable grain, which directly subverts the original views of many officials.

"Did the businessman really change sex?"

Everyone said incredulously.

The grain merchant headed by the grain merchant said solemnly: "Since ancient times, merchants have been discriminated against by the world, among which the reason for profiteers occupies most of the reasons, when the concept of Song merchants spread, we were ashamed of themselves, from today, we and other merchants decided to pursue the concept of Song merchants, so that merchants from the harm of the Great Song Dynasty to the benefits of the Great Song Dynasty, from the beginning of this flood, let the world re-understand the merchants, we can also serve the country." ”

"Good! You have the heart to serve the country, and you are very pleased. Fan Chunli said loudly.

"Thank you Fan Xianggong for making it perfect!"

A group of grain merchants hugged their fists.

At present, with a large number of grain merchants transporting a large amount of affordable grain, the grain price in Yuncheng and even the entire disaster area quickly stabilized.

"Song Shang! With this concept, the harm of businessmen is gone! ”

"How can a merchant be so kind?"

The Great Song merchants practiced the concept of Song merchants and sent a large amount of affordable grain to the disaster area, which immediately caused an uproar.

For a long time, businessmen have been the role of robbing while the fire is taking advantage of the fire, and the behavior of merchants taking advantage of the fire to rob in disaster years is not uncommon, which makes people hateful, but now the businessmen have changed their temper and began to take the initiative to transport cheap grain.

"Song Shang!"

When the news reached Kaifeng City, Zhao Xu was also stunned, he didn't expect Shang Jia to really make a change.

Fan Zheng sneered on the side: "Do the officials really think that many grain merchants are core merchants? Officials can think about it, who has the most food in their hands? ”

"Doctor?"

Zhao Xu suddenly woke up, the Great Song Dynasty did not inhibit land annexation, and a lot of land was concentrated in the hands of scholars, not so much that the previous grain merchants were black-hearted profiteers, but that they were greedy scholars behind them.

Sometimes the price of grain sold by grain merchants is high, it is better to say that the price of grain is high, and the transportation in this era is not convenient, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources, and the price of natural grain is rising.

"How can Fan Taicheng guarantee that this is not a disguise for these merchants, just to let the imperial court establish a Ministry of Commerce." Zhao Xu frowned and said, since ancient times, the prejudice against Shangjia has made him unable to let down his guard against Shangjia.

Fan Zheng laughed and said, "What about disguise? Who in this world has no selfishness, as long as they can send affordable food to the disaster area and share the worries of the imperial court, as long as the officials praise these behaviors, it will naturally cause countless merchants to follow suit. ”

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, no matter what the motives of these businessmen were? As long as the imperial court takes advantage of this situation and allows countless merchants to follow suit, it will definitely be able to make the concept of Song merchants popular in the world.

On the contrary, if the imperial court ignores the behavior of the merchants who share the worries of the country, I am afraid that no one will be willing to send affordable grain to the disaster area in the future.

"Spread the message and praise the grain merchants who went to the disaster area to deliver affordable grain!" Zhao Xu waved his hand.

It's just a verbal praise, and it's not a cost, so why not.

"The official is wise!" Fan Zheng said respectfully.

As the imperial court praised a number of grain merchants, it immediately caused an uproar among the merchants.

People in the world are not afraid of doing good deeds, but they are afraid that good deeds will not end up in good deeds, and now a group of grain merchants have transported affordable grain to the disaster area, which immediately attracted the praise of the officials, which made a group of businessmen very excited.

"It's time to start the second step of the plan, Yizhuang is about to start collecting donations for the disaster area!" In the traditional Chinese medicine hospital, Fan Zheng said solemnly to Fan Sanming.

"Thank you for your advice!" Fan Sanming said solemnly.

After several years of development, the scale of Yizhuang has been quite large, covering all the roads of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also helping the victims and helping the destitute to tide over the difficulties.

Whenever a major disaster is encountered, Yizhuang has advocated fundraising, and has repeatedly solved problems for the imperial court, especially during the first battle of Pingxia City, Yizhuang has raised hundreds of thousands of donations for the imperial court, which greatly solves the financial pressure of the imperial court.

Whenever a disaster breaks out, Yijia Yizhuang will hold donations, and now the Yellow River floods, Yizhuang is the same.

The main force of the annual donation is the doctor, and now the Yellow River flood donation, the doctor did not donate money directly, but donated a batch of medical supplies, directly to the front line of the Yellow River flood.

"This time, the doctor didn't donate, and I don't know who donated first."

The people of Kaifeng are looking forward to it.

"In my opinion, it must be the Royal Bank! The Royal Bank is making money every day, not to mention 10,000 yuan, even if it donations 100,000 yuan, it is a drop in the bucket. A citizen speculated.

"No, the Royal Bank is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and all profits need to be handed over to the imperial court. A scholar shook his head.

He is familiar with the specifications and processes of the imperial court, and naturally has a good understanding of the process of state-run workshops, and naturally knows the distribution of bank profits.

Moreover, the Royal Bank is owned by the Crown, so it is natural that individuals will not donate money to gain a good name.

"In my opinion, it must be Fengle Building, which is now the first restaurant in the Great Song Dynasty, and the wine under its name is even more popular in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is making money every day." One of the people speculated.

"Fengle Lou has donated, donated a thousand yuan!"

Soon, the news of Fengle Lou's donation came, and many people nodded slightly, Fengle Lou donated a thousand yuan, although it was not much, but it was not much, and it was decent.

"Chunfeng Lou donated 500 yuan!"

"Eight Immortal Towers donate eight hundred!"

……………………

As the news of donations spread, countless businessmen in Kaifeng City donated generously! Soon, Yizhuang received as much as 100,000 yuan.

"Shopkeeper, how much do we donate!"

Sun Yangzheng was in the store, and a guy asked the shopkeeper Sun.

Nowadays, major restaurants and large merchants are enthusiastically donating, wanting to change the image of merchants and practice the concept of Song merchants.

"Wait!" Shopkeeper Sun said expressionlessly.

"What are you waiting for?" The guy was puzzled.

Shopkeeper Sun said unhurriedly: "Wait for Fan Sanming and Fan Shopkeeper!" ”

"Fan Sanming?" The guy was puzzled. "Fan Sanming has joined the doctor's family, and now the doctor's current donation is all medicines and doctors, and he has already reached the front line of the flood."

Shopkeeper Sun shook his head and said: "Although Fan Sanming joined the doctor family and became a pharmacist, he has shares in the doctor's family, and he has made a lot of profits by brewing alcohol for the doctor family and supplying the whole world." Not to mention that Fan Sanming is the initiator of Song Shang, and his donation is crucial. ”

The guy was thoughtful for a moment.

"Why don't you go and find out!" Shopkeeper Sun said loudly.

"Yes!"

The young man got the order and immediately ran out.

Soon, the young man from Sun Yangzheng's store hurriedly came and reported: "Qi Yu shopkeeper, Fan Sanming donated 3,000 yuan." ”

"Really? Three thousand! Fan Sanming is crazy, this is probably most of his net worth. Shopkeeper Sun exclaimed.

The young man nodded solemnly and said, "It's true, this matter has been rumored in Kaifeng City." ”

"Fan Sanming is so courageous!" Shopkeeper Sun pondered for a moment, took a deep breath and said.

"Then we'll ............." The young man asked, but the shopkeeper Sun said just now that he wanted to watch Fan Sanming come to donate.

Shopkeeper Sun paced for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Sun Yangzhengdian donated 5,000 yuan!" ”

"Five thousand!" The young man exclaimed.

You must know that Sun Yangzheng's store is no longer the catering leader of the past, whether it is the wine sold or the business of Sun Yangzheng's store, it is not as good as before, and 50 million is probably the entire net worth of Sun Yangzhengdian and Sun Shopkeeper.

"Yes, I just want to give it a go with all my net worth." Shopkeeper Sun said resolutely.

With the popularity of pork, the main mutton Sun Yangzheng store has long been in decline, and even the liquor formula he bought at a high price has passed the protection period, and now the liquor formula has been made public, and the wine produced by Sun Yangzheng store is sold directly and quickly, and now it is no longer the grand occasion of the year.

And now that Sun Yangzheng Store wants to be a blockbuster, it must be taken by surprise, and this donation is a godsend.

Soon, when the news of Sun Yangzhengdian's donation of 5,000 yuan came out, Kaifeng City was detonated again.

"Crazy!"

A group of Kaifeng people were dumbfounded, although the doctor donated 10,000 guan before, but that was because the scale and volume of the doctor were quite large, and 10,000 guan was nothing to it, and a declining Sun Yang Zhengdian donated 5,000 guan naturally has no comparison.

"Sun Yangzheng's donation of 5,000 guan is not that he only donates 5,000 guan, but that his grandson shopkeeper only has 5,000 guan!" One merchant lamented.

There are not many secrets in Kaifeng City, and everyone can see the situation of Sun Yangzhengdian, and Sun Yangzhengdian's crazy behavior also makes everyone breathtaking.

All of a sudden, the originally declining Sun Yangzheng store instantly became the focus of Kaifeng City.

"That's right! Speaking of which, I haven't been to Sun Yangzheng's store for a long time! Many Kaifeng people said suddenly.

It turns out that Sun Yangzheng is the premier restaurant in Kaifeng, and countless people have gone to taste the food, but now they find that they haven't been there for a long time.

"Go along! Let's go! ”

The companion on the side said happily.

Sun Yangzheng store is now in the limelight, coupled with the original reputation of Sun Yangzheng store, aroused their interest, for a while, Sun Yangzheng store was full, and even there were many people waiting outside, this is a grand occasion that Sun Yangzheng store has not had for a long time.

"You can't help it, the small shop is full, and other restaurants are equally delicious, so don't make impulsive purchases." Shopkeeper Sun came forward to apologize.

The waiting diners on the side didn't care and said: "Shopkeeper Sun can donate impulsively, and we can naturally consume impulsively. ”

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Sun could only make a solemn salute helplessly to show his gratitude.

With the generous donations of Shopkeeper Sun and Fan Sanming, the entire Great Song Dynasty also set off a wave of donations, from wealthy businessmen and magnates, down to peddlers and pawns, and even prostitutes in Qinglou have generously donated.

As the total amount of donations continued to rise, the entire Great Song Dynasty was shocked by the generosity of the merchants.

The abnormal behavior of the merchants naturally also spread to the imperial court, first the concept of Song merchants, then the concept of affordable grain, and now it is a large donation for disaster relief, so that the imperial court can see a very different business world.

"I don't know what your lords think of Shang Jia's actions!" Zhao Xu looked around and said loudly.

Su Song took the lead and said: "Qiqi official, at present, the Great Song Dynasty businessman is law-abiding, and he takes the initiative to stabilize grain prices, donate money and materials, and the court should praise more." ”

There is nothing wrong with Su Song's words, after all, with the righteous behavior of today's merchants, even the most stubborn old master can't find any fault.

Yang Wei frowned and said, "What the Prime Minister said is reasonable, but you all know that the reason why Shang Jia is so generous is because he has greater intentions, the Ministry of Commerce!" ”

As soon as Yang Wei's words came out, the whole court was silent.

The Ministry of Commerce has been controversial in the DPRK and China for many days, with some in favor and some against, and now the concept of Song Shang is rampant, so that the harm of Shang Jia has been reduced to a low point, and the profit of Shang Jia has increased greatly.

"It's just a merchant's trick! Please also ask the officials not to be deceived by it. Many ministers have come to the stage.

According to their previous understanding of the merchants, if it were not for the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce, these merchants would certainly not disguise themselves in this way.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he immediately fell into hesitation.

Seeing this, Fan Zheng asked rhetorically, "Do you think Shang Jia's behavior is wrong?" I still think that businessmen should hoard Juqi, love money like life, and raise prices! Do you want to see such a businessman or do you want to see the original businessman? ”

The ministers were silent for a moment, and now the businessmen who practice the concept of Song Shang are simply impeccable, while the original businessmen are shouted and beaten by everyone.

"Everyone seeks to be motivated, so do businessmen, businessmen do business, and the court collects taxes, which is a matter of course, and the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce is a kind of protection for businessmen, after all, the court collects money from businessmen, even street bullies know how to collect protection money, is the government not even as good as street bullies?" Fan Zheng sneered.

"Business tax?"

Zhao Xu took a deep breath, and business taxes became the most important factor that changed him.

He is eloquent and strategic, and if he wants to dominate the world, he must be inseparable from the support of money, and the commercial tax is the top priority of the tax collection in the court, and the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce is certainly a protection for the merchants, but also a guarantee for the growth of the imperial court's taxes, not to mention that the current Song merchants are even more overjoyed.

"Passing the decree, the imperial court has begun to prepare for the affairs of the Ministry of Commerce!"

Zhao Xu ordered in the middle.

"Your Ministers obey!"

The hundred officials couldn't help but be shocked, and bowed down to receive the order.

The official family agreed to set up the Ministry of Commerce, which was both unexpected and reasonable, after all, among the taxes paid by the Great Song Dynasty, the commercial tax was as high as seventy percent, and the Song Shang concept was full of the disadvantages of medical businessmen.

However, the formation of the Seventh Department of the Imperial Court did not happen overnight, and it took several months to be established.

Soon, the news of the imperial court's preparations came out, and the entire Kaifeng business community suddenly cried with joy, their merchants were discriminated against by the world for thousands of years, and now the imperial court has established the Ministry of Commerce, and they finally waited for the opportunity to correct their names.

All of a sudden, Yizhuang's donation was even more than three percent out of thin air. (End of chapter)
