Chapter 342 The First Batch of People Who Dare to Try New Things
Huang Dafa was very good at deceiving people. With his sharp tongue and the support of the royal guards, a total of 153 small businessmen attended the meeting. They were persuaded by him and decided to join the Daming Chamber of Commerce on the spot. There are more than a hundred, and the remaining dozens are holding a wait-and-see attitude, or have other ideas in mind.
Huang Dafa sent out a large number of invitations and invited all the small businessmen in the city to come for a meeting. The commotion was very big, which naturally attracted the attention of the big chambers of commerce, aristocratic clans, and even the Donglin Party members. It was not surprising to send spies to sneak in to spy on the information.
Huang Dafa was not worried at all. He was playing an upright conspiracy. All the tricks and routines were formulated by the emperor. What he did was just follow the plot of the script.
To put it bluntly, he is the emperor's puppet. However, he does not feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, he is eager to be such a puppet a few more times, because the benefits gained are so huge that he will fight even if his life is over. Take a handful.
Under the leadership of Huang Dafa, hundreds of businessmen went to the Industrial and Commercial Office to apply for industrial and commercial business licenses, which attracted passers-by to stop and watch curiously and whisper.
Whether they are ancient people or modern people, they all have a burning heart of gossip.
The officials of the Industrial and Commercial Administration Office had long received the notice from Zhu Youjian, and Ruan Dacheng, the deputy cabinet minister who also served as the director of the Industrial and Commercial Administration Office, personally took charge and arranged for his officials to do the reception work.
As soon as the hundreds of businessmen arrived, servants immediately brought tea and water. They were asked to sit and have a rest while drinking tea, and then one by one they took turns entering the office to apply for industrial and commercial business licenses.
The first version of the Ming Dynasty's industrial and commercial business license was made of thick hard paper. Use a brush to write the owner's name, business address, business license number, issuing authority, license application date, and finally stamp the official seal of the Industrial and Commercial Administration Office, and finally insert it. It's OK once the wooden frame is pressed.
Considering that some merchants have multiple shops with different business addresses, each shop will be issued a copy of the business license, marked with the license number of the original and the number of the copy, and the number of the copy will be noted on the original.
The numbers of industrial and commercial business licenses from 1 to 100 are reserved for officials and nobles. There is no real fairness in this world. There are privileged dignitaries. Zhu Youjian does not want to change too much. The number "1" is naturally Zhu Youjian. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I naturally have to set an example.
Huang Dafa is a puppet supported by Zhu Youjian. His business license number is 101, and after that are the friends who follow him.
Don't underestimate an inconspicuous number. The higher the number is, the more envious, jealous, and hateful it represents. Not only are you a staunch supporter of the emperor's implementation of the New Deal, but also the various concessions granted by the emperor are a priority. of these people.
Of course, Zhu Youjian's various profit-giving moves are still hidden. Once they are made public, they will definitely cause quite a shock, making those who hold a wait-and-see attitude jealous, jealous, and even beat their chests and regret it terribly.
However, there is no medicine for regret in the world. If you want to blame me, you can only blame yourself for being timid and short-sighted, and missed 100 million.
Huang Dafa and his group of friends were the first people who dared to eat crabs.
All walks of life must apply for industrial and commercial business licenses, and brothels are no exception. Zhu Youjian knew that it was impossible to eliminate this industry, so he could only formulate some special rules for this industry.
It is strictly prohibited to force a woman into prostitution, even if she is a bought woman, if she is unwilling, she is still forced into prostitution, which is also a serious crime of forcing a woman into prostitution. Once discovered, she will be severely punished. The lighter case will be fined heavily, and the worst case will be confiscated and beheaded. Those accomplices who are the accomplices will be slapped. The purpose is to reduce some sins as much as possible.
In addition, he also stipulated that all women engaged in this industry must have a physical examination every six months to ensure good health and reduce the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
When it comes to the abduction and trafficking of women and children, Zhu Youjian has always hated it. The punishment for this crime is very serious. If one person is abducted, the sentence will be more than ten years. If two or more are abducted, the prison terms will be accumulated. If the number of abducted reaches five, the person will be beheaded or even sentenced to death.
The cost of committing a crime is too high, and those who want to commit a crime must carefully consider whether it is worthwhile.
