Chapter 570 Chamber of Commerce (Add More)
Liu Zhang's sharp weapon to control the world's businessmen lies in Shu brocade and salt!
"Everyone, the world is in chaos today, and the warlords are divided into regimes. The chaos of the Warring States Period has reappeared! As the clan of the Han family, the son-in-law of the late emperor, and the general of the Han Dynasty, I can't just sit back and watch these thieves divide the world of the Han Dynasty!"
"However, if you want to end the troubled times and restore the prestige of the Han Dynasty, what you need is not the Confucian classics, but the armored army! It's just that Yizhou is exhausted after years of fighting. Forced recruitment and training will not only increase the burden on the people of Yizhou , will also resort to military force and cause a lot of harm!"
"The general will learn from the pain, and finally come up with a clever plan to solve the current crisis!"
Liu Zhang glanced at everyone, and everyone was looking at him and waiting for Liu Zhang's next words.
"I don't know what the lord's plan is?"
Liu Zhang pondered for a while, and then spit out two words lightly.
"Chamber of Commerce!"
"My lord, what is a chamber of commerce?"
This word is quite unfamiliar to everyone, even Jia Xu is also at a loss.
Liu Zhang also understands this very well. After all, this time pays attention to scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are the most humble occupations. So what if you have money? looked down upon by all.
"The specific meaning is a bit complicated, so I will briefly tell you about the operation process of the chamber of commerce."
"First of all, the Chamber of Commerce belongs to the State Mufu, and is an independent organization under Yizhou Mu. After the Chamber of Commerce is established, it will set up branches in various counties."
"In the future, all the output of the counties and counties in Yizhou can be sold directly to the Chamber of Commerce, or you can buy everything you need from the Chamber of Commerce, and all prices will be set by the Chamber of Commerce."
Before Liu Zhang finished his introduction to the chamber of commerce, it immediately caused a commotion.
People from all major families looked at Liu Zhang strangely, as if they were in great crisis.
If the Chamber of Commerce buys cheap and sells high, it seems that it is easier to make money than Dong Zhuo's small money!
At that time, Liu Zhang will receive a dendrobium of grain and give the common people ten renminbi, and when he sells it, he will sell it for one hundred renminbi, which is equivalent to earning 90 renminbi in invisible blood!
It won't take long for Liu Zhang to concentrate all the wealth of Yizhou in his own hands, even the aristocratic family will not be spared!
"My lord, if the Chamber of Commerce earns huge profits, it may cause resistance from the people of Yizhou!"
Yang Hong was the first to jump out to object. He seemed to see through Liu Zhang's mind at a glance. His eyes seemed to tell Liu Zhang that you might as well mint money like Dong Zhuo!
Liu Zhang is not a fool either, he saw through Yang Hong's worries at a glance.
"Ji Xiu misunderstood, I didn't mean that. The Chamber of Commerce serves the people of Yizhou internally, and earns profits externally. Don't worry, everyone, listen to me."
The commotion in the house subsided, and everyone pricked up their ears waiting for Liu Zhang's next words.
"The Chamber of Commerce provides free services to the people under our rule. For example, if we sell a hu of grain for 30 yuan, then we receive a hu of grain from the people, which is also 30 yuan. Including brocade, food, salt, etc., there is no any price difference."
Liu Zhang has only one purpose in doing this, decisively stabilizing prices so that all civilians will not be oppressed.
"Anyone in the Chamber of Commerce can exchange items for money, or exchange money for required items."
Jia Xu's eyes lit up. If this policy can be implemented, it will benefit Yizhou too much, but it will only harm the interests of the aristocratic family.
If you want to hoard food in the future, it may be difficult to raise the market price.
"My lord, how does the Chamber of Commerce earn military funds?"
Just now Liu Zhang mentioned that the ultimate purpose of forming a chamber of commerce is to make money, so how to make money?
"We earn businessmen from other states and counties."
"After the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, merchants who want to do business with Yizhou can only go through the only channel of the Chamber of Commerce. No one or any force is allowed to privately trade with merchants from other states and counties. Those who violate the order will be severely punished!"
If the chamber of commerce wants to operate smoothly and gain authority, it must rely on the strict policies of the State Shepherd's Office.
In the future, merchants from other states and counties who want Shu County and salt must cooperate with the chamber of commerce, and a series of price issues will also be controlled by the chamber of commerce.
However, there is also a very serious problem. All transactions are taken away by the Chamber of Commerce, and the huge profits generated by the transactions will be taken away by the Chamber of Commerce.
The aristocratic families that previously relied on business contacts to survive will be hit hard by the chamber of commerce, and their sources of income will also be cut off.
If he really came to this point, Liu Zhang would be on the opposite level with the Yizhou family.
This is also what Jia Xu is most worried about. Although the policy is good, it will cause turmoil in Yizhou.
"My lord, have you ever thought that once the Chamber of Commerce is implemented, how can the Yizhou family agree?"
As expected by Jia Xu, Yang Hong jumped out again. There was a hint of dissatisfaction on the faces of the officials of the various families in the house.
Their allegiance to Liu Zhang is not only for their personal future, but also for the development of the family.
A family, a family that has been passed down from generation to generation, every member of the clan will be instilled with the idea that the family business comes first.
Yang Hong and others had such a strong opposition reaction, which was also within Liu Zhang's expectation.
"Don't worry about the seasonal holidays. Everyone must understand the benefits of the chamber of commerce. Once the chamber of commerce is implemented, not only will the government be able to forcefully control prices in Yizhou to ensure the stability of people's livelihood, but it can also aggregate all trade and earn huge profits!"
"Of course, the benefits will not all go to the State Shepherd's Mansion, and the major families will also enjoy the share!"
Liu Zhang's concept of sharing did not stir up much waves, and obviously did not satisfy these aristocratic families.
"Everyone, after the establishment of the chamber of commerce, each county will set up a branch. People from all aristocratic families who are good at doing business can come to the chamber of commerce. The aristocratic families who have business contacts with other states and counties can put them on the chamber of commerce for transactions, prices, and cargo transportation. They will all be operated by the chamber of commerce, and the wealth earned in the end will be shared in a certain proportion.”
"It doesn't matter if there is no business relationship, as long as you try your best to serve the chamber of commerce, the family will also benefit. In the future, the products of other states and counties will be purchased by the chamber of commerce, and then distributed to various counties and counties, and sold by the county branches. Sales Big clubs will also receive huge rewards every year."
"Similarly, those of our Yizhou aristocratic family who are proficient in business can take the initiative to go to other states and counties to seek deals. Everything is covered by the prefecture's mansion and protected by the prefecture's mansion. In the end, according to the amount of transactions formed, generous rewards will be given! "
Liu Zhang is not a commercial talent, but he still has an understanding of simple business.
He can treat these people as simple sales, and finally get a commission based on the amount of goods sold.
Whether it's Jia Xu, Yang Hong, or officials from other aristocratic families, they all have a feeling of confusion in their heads.
The new concept accepted today is a bit too big, making it difficult for them to react for a while.
"My lord, I'm sorry for your disrespect. Is this chamber of commerce must be implemented?"
