The influx of merchants made Qingzhou City unprecedented and noisy, and the streets and alleys were full of merchants from other places. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After waiting for three days in Qingzhou City, a notice was posted in Qingzhou that all merchants in Qingzhou could go to the Patent Department to obtain the method of soap production, and the specific matters were explained in detail in the Patent Division.

As soon as this news came out, the merchants immediately inquired about the Patent Office, asked where it was, and then rushed to the Patent Office opposite the Governor's Palace.

The businessmen were ecstatic, but they were also frightened, just as Xiao Ming thought, the Wang family found Xiao Ming as soon as the announcement came out.

"Your royal family can also build a workshop to produce soap." Xiao Ming's words suddenly made Wang Shijie speechless, "When the time comes, your Wang family will produce as much soap as you want." “

Wang Shijie groaned for a while, and then said: "It's just Your Highness, in this way, the number of soap production has skyrocketed, and the merchants selling soap are all over the world, how to control the price of this soap, and how to solve the mutual tilting of merchants from all over the world?" “

"This king has already had a plan." Xiao Ming smiled calmly.

What Wang Shijie said is a prominent problem in this era, that is, the mutual tilting of businessmen, it can be said that many of the businessmen who came to Qingzhou this time are big businessmen, and they are more or less connected with other vassal kings and magnates behind them.

Now that everyone has soap in their hands, they naturally want to monopolize this business in their own territory, and businessmen from other places are not allowed to enter.

This phenomenon is not only in this era, but also in modern times, there is also the habit of local businessmen bullying foreign businessmen.

"Please also ask Your Highness to make it clear." Wang Shijie said.

People are greedy, especially businessmen, and the Wang family knows that opening up soap production is beneficial to the Wang family, and they can profit from the production of soap, but they are not willing to give up the first-line sales.

Xiao Ming said lightly: "Chamber of Commerce." ”

The competition of businessmen will inevitably bring various problems, and the Chamber of Commerce, an institution that restricts the behavior of businessmen, is inevitable, and Xiao Ming's real purpose is to use the Chamber of Commerce to build Qingzhou into the commercial center of the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

Wang Shijie naturally didn't understand what the Chamber of Commerce was, so Xiao Ming became a teacher again.

The purpose of establishing the Chamber of Commerce is naturally to set commodity prices, divide their respective interest areas, and at the same time scrape a layer of skin from these businessmen, but there is a purpose Xiao Ming can't tell Wang Shijie.

What he can tell Wang Shijie is that the Chamber of Commerce will give him an exclusive area to sell soap, but the Wang family is afraid that he will have to spend some money to buy it.

Sent Wang Shijie away, Xiao Ming began to prepare for the Chamber of Commerce, this time the businessmen involved in the production of soap must join the Chamber of Commerce and be included in the management, otherwise the Patent Division will not provide technology.

In the Patent Division, businessmen who came to consult were also exposed to the concept of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Brother Chen, this King Qi is interesting, this patent department has already surprised people, and now a chamber of commerce is going to be established." A businessman said with the technical information given by the patent department.

The merchant on one side had a big belly and said slowly: "It can only be said that this King of Qi is not simple, we can't underestimate it, but no matter what, we have a letter from the King of Wei to the King of Qi in our hands, and the King of Qi will take care of us, after all, the King of Wei and the King of Qi are neighbors." “

"That's right, Steward Qian just said that King Qi will summon all the merchants tomorrow to discuss the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, we just need to wait for the change, but it is said that this time the merchants under the command of King Yan of the Cui family, King Chu of the Li family, and King Liang of the Zheng family are here, and the situation is not optimistic."

"What Brother Chen said is, not to mention this vassal king with a different surname, there are also many businessmen under the command of the princes." , He looked at the courtyard of the patent department, and the businessmen gathered together in twos and threes, wearing silk and satin, wearing gold and gold, all of them were giants with thousands of dollars in their pockets.

The next day, as the Patent Department said, Xiao Ming summoned nearly 1,000 merchants from Qingzhou in the Governor's Mansion.

For the sake of soap profits, no merchant was absent.

Sitting in the residence of the Governor's Mansion, Xiao Ming looked at the merchants with a smile.

Many of these businessmen brought letters from either vassal kings or ministers, the meaning was very clear, that is, let Xiao Ming take care of it, and to Xiao Ming's surprise, there were also letters from several princes and princesses.

However, the people who wrote these letters probably knew that this letter was the same as waste paper to Xiao Ming, after all, Xiao Ming's arrogant and obedient character in the past was not just talking, they were only doing this to give an explanation to the merchants under their command.

At this time, the businessmen below were either proud, or worried, or whispering, although they had a strong background, they were still low-status businessmen after all, and they did not dare to be rude to Xiao Ming.

"I called you here today, and you probably know in your hearts that it is for the sake of the Chamber of Commerce." When the businessmen arrived, Xiao Ming took a sip of water and began to talk about the Chamber of Commerce.

"Please also ask His Royal Highness the King of Qi to make it clear." A group of businessmen said in unison.

Xiao Ming said, "You must have come to Qingzhou this time for soap, drunken Qingzhou and perfume, and the purpose of the establishment of this chamber of commerce is to allow you to fairly purchase these three goods for sale." ”

As soon as these words came out, the merchants below immediately became restless, and one asked: "Does Your Highness mean that not only the production of soap will be opened, but also the production of perfume will be opened in this drunken Qingzhou?" ”

"No, perfume and drunken Qingzhou will not open up technology for the time being, but those who join the chamber of commerce will get the right to sell." Xiao Ming responded.

"That's not bad, either."

"Great."

"It's not in vain."

“……”

The merchants suddenly became excited.

Xiao Ming continued: "The purpose of the Chamber of Commerce is this, all the people of the Chamber of Commerce can buy and sell all the commodities that Qingzhou will open up in the future, but while enjoying the convenience, the Chamber of Commerce also has its own rules......

Then Xiao Ming transmitted the rules of the Chamber of Commerce through the science and technology spar.

One of the clear provisions is that the sales area of the goods in the chamber of commerce must be obtained from the chamber of commerce through fair bidding, and all the commodities of the chamber of commerce shall be priced by the chamber of commerce, and the chamber of commerce will set up an arbitration department to arbitrate the malicious competition of the merchants under the chamber of commerce.

These new ideas are transmitted through the technological spar, making these merchants who come to them feel like they have been enlightened, and a new business structure makes these merchants breathtaking.

"I think now you should also understand, this is the map of Dayu Kingdom, the map is all the states and counties of Dayu Kingdom, the auction of management rights will take the state as a point, now this king gives you time to think, willing to join the Chamber of Commerce to obtain rich profits, unwilling to join the Chamber of Commerce to leave Qingzhou, the right to choose is in your hands, this king does not force it." Xiao Ming finally said.

Businessmen, you look at me, I look at you, for them, it really takes time to think.
