"Da Lang...... What the hell is going on in this Jiehe Commercial Market? ”

Ji Yiji's senior official suddenly spoke, interrupting Wu Haogu, who was about to talk about the plan of Jiehe Shang City.

The relationship between the shareholders of Jiehe Commercial Market and the Republic Bank is very unusual, because most of the shareholders of the Republic Bank are ready to take a stake in the Jiehe Commercial Market under the lobbying of Wu Haogu. Ji Yi, who is asking questions now, has also agreed to join the shares before, but this Ji Daguan is from a maritime merchant family, and he still knows a lot about the lawlessness of merchants, so when he was reviewing the sage book at home, he pondered it, and he always felt that something was wrong!

Merchants were originally mercenary, and maritime merchants had another lawlessness (historically, Venice, Genoa, and the Netherlands, the sea coachman, and the Netherlands, which were the main subjects of the early capitalist free states and United Provinces, were all lawless maritime merchants), and they also had to absorb a group of frustrated children of Liao families. What good people can there be among the children of those Liao families? Either the Khitan barbarians or the Yanyun soldiers - Ji Yi, who has gone around in a big circle in the Liao Kingdom, has already figured out the details of the Yanyun gate valve, these people are not gate valves at all, nor are they families, but world soldiers! Most of them are descendants of the Youzhou Zhenya Soldier Group of the fifth generation of Tang Ji! There are also some descendants of other town generals who returned to the Liao State when it invaded the Central Plains in the early years. On the Liao side, he got the privilege of the world election official, but most of them still held military positions, and they were actually a group of world soldiers and generals. To put it mildly, it is a group of undisciplined barbarian martial artists who have read a little bit of books and are in the family, which has the meaning of being crowned by a monkey.

Jiehe Shang City actually wants to put together the lawless maritime merchants, the barbaric and murderous Liao family, and maybe the slaves who don't know what kind of slaves! And it's not strictly controlled...... What the hell are you trying to do?

Wu Haogu pondered for a moment and replied: "Jiehe Shang City was established to deal with the drastic changes in the Liao Kingdom in the future. Brother Yi made Liao for a few months, when he knew that the henchmen of Liao had collapsed, and the chaos was only in one or two decades, right? ”

Ji Yi thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "But Jiehe Shang City is governed by the Chamber of Commerce, which is always inappropriate. ”

"Huh?"

Wu Haogu couldn't help but say, "What's wrong?" ”

"Shinong industry and commerce, industry and commerce are the last.

Moreover, businessmen are mercenary, know little loyalty, and do not have much desire to serve the country. If the city is governed by industry and commerce, when the imperial court returns to Yan in the future, I am afraid that it will not be used, but will be a constraint.

Therefore, there is something wrong with this river market. ”

Ji Yi's words made Wu Haogu feel a little surprised, isn't the Ji family a maritime family? Isn't Ji Yi himself a businessman? How can you listen to his words as if you have been cheated by some profiteer?

"Brother of Memories means ......"

"There must be a time limit for the chamber of commerce to govern the market."

"Time limit? How long does it last? ”

"Ten years." Ji Yi said, "After the completion of Jiehe Shang City, ten years of autonomy, the investment of merchants should also be reaped a lot, and then it is better to become a state and county of the imperial court." ”

"Ten years?"

Wu Haogu heard what Ji Yi said, and his brows furrowed slightly. Ji Yi's personality is not pedantic, and he is from a wealthy businessman's background, so he doesn't want to see a city with merchant autonomy appearing. It seems that this businessman is really not welcome.

"Ten years is too short!" Wu Haogu shook his head, "Twenty years, another five years of completion, a total of twenty-five years." ”

This year is 1099, and if the agreement can be signed within this year, the construction project will start next year, and it will be 1125 years if it is added 25 years. At that time, Xuanhe and the Northern Expedition have been played, and if they really successfully defeat the Liao State and recover the land of Yanyun, Jiehe Shang City can only become a state and county.

The bourgeois free state, a beast of the flood, should be put in a cage!

If the Great Song Dynasty is still the same by then...... By 1125 (the seventh year of Xuanhe), the Jin army was about to divide the east and west to attack the Song Dynasty. Jiehe Commercial City, Kaifeng Mansion is afraid that no one cares about it.

"It's been a little bit ...... 25 years," Ji Yi thought for a while, "but it's better than going to be autonomous forever." He glanced at Wu Haogu, "Da Lang, you and I are both from merchants, and we should know that industry and commerce are always unable to bear big responsibilities." Businessmen are mercenary, and workers are gathered. It is not easy to control, if there are 100,000 people gathered in Jiehe Shang City, and there are no court officials and soldiers to suppress it, it is easy to cause trouble. ”

His words were not without reason, and later history proved them. Cities with a large industrial and commercial class were always a great threat to the feudal rulers.

If there is no strong bureaucratic army to suppress such a city, it is only a matter of time before something happens!

"I know," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "The Shang City naturally has to be controlled, although the imperial court is not good at directly stationing troops, but just by changing the name, hundreds or thousands of Kaifeng forbidden troops can be allowed to enter." ”

It is certain that there will be Kaifeng forbidden troops entering Jiehe Commercial City! After all, many of the shareholders of Jiehe Commercial City are people from Kaifeng Jiangmen!

"There must be this, at least 1,000 Kaifeng forbidden troops, so that it can be guaranteed."

Can the combat power of 1000 Kaifeng Forbidden Army suppress a modern military academy?

Wu Haogu had a big question mark in his heart, and he still echoed it on his face: "It's okay, after all, there is a Hebei Forbidden Army nearby."

In addition, I also plan to dig a trench around Jiehe Shang City to separate it from the land in Cangzhou, and then set up a city gate to guard it strictly. ”

"Yes, that's how it should be."

Ji Yi nodded again and again, and most of the worries in his heart were dissipated. There are 1,000 soldiers secretly stationed in the Shang City, and if there are thousands of elite Hebei Forbidden Army outside the Shang City, it should not be able to turn the sky upside down.

"What about the daily security in the market?" Su Dalang interjected at this time and asked, "Is it under the control of the Kaifeng forbidden army?" ”

"That's not good," Wu Haogu shook his head, "How can the forbidden army manage this?" It is necessary to set up commercial and municipal police patrol affairs, water police affairs, judicial affairs, municipal taxation, real estate affairs, school affairs, construction affairs, sprinkle and sweeping affairs, etc., and there must be a municipal administration in charge of these offices. The governor is elected by the chamber of commerce, and the directors of each affairs are nominated by the governor and recognized by the chamber of commerce. And I will be the first governor of the city. ”

Wu Haogu came according to the name of the city management body of later generations, and planned to establish a city government, and the chamber of commerce would become the city council - the highest organ of power, but there was no judicial independence, because there was no law now!

As for the first governor, because the business market itself is still being created, it is impossible to follow the republican principle, so it can only be brought by Wu Haogu himself. Moreover, the official Zhao Xu also gave him the title of concurrently managing the Jiehe Commercial Market, so of course Wu Haogu did not let him.

"Is the law practiced by the merchant market the same as that of the Great Song Dynasty?" At this time, Ji Yi thought about the issue of legislation again.

"Different." Wu Hao Ancient Road, "If it is the same, the commercial market cannot be built." ”

"How is it different?"

"The biggest difference is that there are slaves in the merchant market, and there is freedom in the merchant market."

"Freedom?" Ji Yi asked, "Is it because of your own will?" ”

"That's right," Wu Hao Gu said, "It's not due to external forces, it's your own decision." ”

Ji Yi asked puzzledly: "But why are slaves and freedom put together?" ”

"The freeman is free, and the slave is slave." Wu Haogu said lightly, "The commercial market is a place where there is freedom and no equality, so freedom is not something that you must have if you are born as a human being!" ”

Liberty City is not a place where everyone is free! Otherwise, what about spending money to buy prisoners of war? Now that the Free City buys one more barbarian slave from the north, there will be one less barbarian warrior when the Jurchens invade the south in the future, and if the training is successful, there will be one more "Mamluk" to defend the Free City in the future. Moreover, there will be a lot of work to be done in the Free City, which will require an army of slave laborers.

In addition, it is also possible that the Song people could become indentured slaves in the Free City, which was a common way to hire indentured slaves in the Song Dynasty, and most of the "low-end positions" that needed to work in other places were indentured servants. If it weren't for the "slave labor contract" that issued a large amount of settling-in money in advance, who would have traveled hundreds or thousands of miles with you to work outside? It is only possible to employ a large number of free workers in large cities that have developed and have large populations.

Therefore, in the Lighthouse Free City or in the overseas colonies that may appear in the future, indentured slaves are necessary, and if there are no indentured slaves, you will not have sailors! Don't even think about going to sea......

Therefore, the bourgeois free city that Wu Haogu wants to establish is an evil city dripping with blood and filth everywhere from the inside out, and it will also give birth to even more evil militarism!

"Who determines the law of the commercial market?"

Ji Yi finally asked a very sensitive question!

Who has the legislative power to do business?

If the legislative power belonged to the imperial court, then the commercial market would also be opened, and a legislative issue alone could be discussed for decades, and it could not be discussed in the Southern Song Dynasty.

If Wu Haogu said that the legislative power belongs to the Chamber of Commerce, then this business market will definitely have a difficult birth!

Wu Hao Gudao: "The commercial law of the commercial market was drafted by the Chamber of Commerce and approved by the official royal pen. ”

Ji Yi asked: "Surrender the edict from within?" ”

"That's right! It's the inner descent. ”

The so-called internal surrender is the edict issued directly by the emperor from the palace, and the full name is the internal surrender edict, the internal descending of the zizi, the internal descending command, the internal descending text, etc. In addition, there are some aliases for internal descent, such as Zhongzhi, Inner Batch, Upper Batch, Imperial Journal, Imperial Pen, etc. A common feature of these edicts is that they are issued directly without the deliberation of the Chinese Book and the Privy Council. According to the practice of the Song Dynasty, this kind of internal descent was in principle illegal.

However, it is not absolute, as long as the ministers do not resist, and the Hanlin scholars do not refuse to draft, the internal surrender can also become a special legal edict.

The reason why Wu Haogu came up with the practice of using the edict to approve the commercial law of the commercial market was to set a precedent - now the ruling party is the unscrupulous Zhangdu, and it is natural that the special case of the commercial market will be allowed. But in the future, after Song Huizong came to power, if the affairs of the commercial market were discussed by the two governments, Wu Hao Gu Ke would have a big head. At the end of the discussion, Guan Zhang Daji was not sure.

Therefore, now Wu Haogu hopes to make the commercial market "disappear" from the sight of the Great Song Dynasty bureaucrats, and the emperor will issue an order to bypass the two governments to manage it.
