    Zou Shiming and He Yugui are the merchants most trusted by the emperor. They have a good relationship with many ministers in the court. When the Iron Blood Army rose from Shannan West Road, they followed him to do business. After so many years, the two have long since  Now that they have become the leader of the business community, it should be said that the emperor's emphasis on business is beyond their expectations. The emperor's familiarity with business makes them feel that it is beyond their reach. Therefore, in the process of doing business, they are willing to support the emperor.  Many of the policies of that year were implemented to the letter.  6. ww↑w.2≈3wx.c There is a saying from the emperor that talking about business is of great benefit to the development of commerce. The government does not interfere with the daily business activities of merchants. The focus is on collecting taxes and creating opportunities for the development of commerce.  The favorable conditions also promoted the large-scale development of commerce and entered into a period of prosperity that had never appeared before.  From the perspective of business, the emperor urged the establishment of a chamber of commerce, and prestigious people among merchants entered the chamber of commerce to manage business matters, including competition and games among merchants. It is said that shopping malls are like battlefields, and games between merchants  It is also cruel. As the founders of the Chamber of Commerce, Zou Shiming and He Yugui also spent a lot of effort. Of course, the government does not say that it does not care about the competition between merchants and traders. The emperor put forward a general idea, that is, the competition between merchants and traders.  , generally speaking, it is open and fair. As for the merits, it is mainly the Chamber of Commerce that makes the decision.  It was also because of the emperor's support and trust in Zou Shiming, He Yugui and others that they were able to boldly manage business affairs, which enabled the chamber of commerce to truly play its role. After so many years, the chamber of commerce has also become the main place for merchants to resolve disputes. This is relatively  Reduce the burden on the government.  After the emperor ascended the throne, although there were many things to do, he did not forget about the Chamber of Commerce. With the emperor's promotion, the Datang General Chamber of Commerce was ready to be launched.  The main responsibilities of the General Chamber of Commerce are to coordinate disputes between business and trade, and at the same time, make its own analysis on major adjustments to business and trade, and provide decision-making suggestions to the court. Chambers of commerce at all levels in the Tang Dynasty must operate under the jurisdiction of the General Chamber of Commerce.  The General Chamber of Commerce is under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue, and local governments are not allowed to interfere with the daily affairs of the General Chamber of Commerce.  The soon-to-be-established General Chamber of Commerce has attracted great attention from both the government and the opposition.  Even if they are the original officials in the capital.  We also know that taxes on commerce and trade accounted for more than 70% of the total tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty. The wealthy south relied mainly on tax revenue from commerce and trade. Moreover, the south also experienced a three-year period of exemption from agricultural taxes, allowing tax revenue from commerce and trade to increase.  It became the support for the imperial court's tax revenue.  It is not easy to achieve this step, and the contribution made by the Chamber of Commerce is huge.  Business transactions mean money income. If there are no unified regulations, various situations may occur, so the chamber of commerce will follow the requirements of the government.  Strict systems have been formulated to regulate the behavior of merchants. After all, they are all business people and are familiar with the process of business.  Therefore, many merchants are convinced by the many rules formulated by the Chamber of Commerce.  It is also because of this that the General Chamber of Commerce was established.  In the business world, it triggered a multi-party game.  Zou Shiming and He Yugui entered the General Chamber of Commerce, which is expected by the public and will not cause much controversy. However, apart from these two people, which other representatives can enter the General Chamber of Commerce is worthy of discussion, and the imperial court has made its intention public.  , the president of the General Chamber of Commerce is directly concurrently served by an official from the Ministry of Revenue, which means that the General Chamber of Commerce will become an institution directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue or the court, and its authority will be greater in the future.  This has caused many merchants to begin to pay attention and compete. Representatives from all parties, as well as representatives from local chambers of commerce, attach great importance to it. They hope that their own representatives can enter the General Chamber of Commerce and play a role in the General Chamber of Commerce in the future.  At that time, many merchants gathered in the capital city of Chang'an, gearing up and finding connections, hoping to have a place in the General Chamber of Commerce.  Relationships are the most important thing in business operations. This is true for daily operations, and even more so for the continuous development and growth of accumulated wealth. Those merchants who do large businesses all have some relationships. Of course, relationships can also be strong or weak.  If you can climb up to the Prime Minister of the DPRK, there is no need to worry. You will definitely be able to enter the General Chamber of Commerce. After all, there are not many merchants who can climb up to the Prime Minister. More merchants have set their sights on Jiedushi. After all, the relationship between business transactions and local government  Tax revenue also has a huge impact.  This makes the establishment of the General Chamber of Commerce no less than the imperial examination held by the imperial court.  The First Prime Minister Cui Anqian, the Minister of Hubu Yu Chenghui and the Minister of Rites Cui Shenyou came to the Zichen Hall. They were specifically to report the establishment of the General Chamber of Commerce. The three prime ministers came forward to report the matter. It can be seen that the establishment of the General Chamber of Commerce attracted special attention from the court.  .  Cui Anqian is the first prime minister and is responsible for all matters of the Shangshu Province. Business and trade matters naturally fall under his jurisdiction, not to mention Yu Chenghui, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. As for Cui Shenyou, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the establishment of the General Chamber of Commerce involves  towardsThere are issues related to the etiquette system of the court, so it also needs to be coordinated.  "Your Majesty, I have paid close attention to the establishment of the General Chamber of Commerce. I thought that the establishment of the General Chamber of Commerce was a matter of course. Who knew that this matter put the political affairs hall in great danger. The governors from all over the country sent letters recommending merchants from all over the country to join the General Chamber of Commerce. This has nothing to do with the political affairs.  The decision discussed by the Zhengshi Hall is not very consistent, but the matter involves many Jiedu envoys, and it is impossible for the Zhengshi Hall to ignore it, so it is specially reported to His Majesty. "The decision of the Zhengshi Hall deliberation, as well as the letters from the Jiedu envoys from various places, have long been sent to Zichen Hall.  .  Li Rupei looked at the three of them and spoke slowly.  "I already know about the competition for quotas in the General Chamber of Commerce. You all came to the capital from Daxingtai Prefecture on Nanfang Road. The Jiedu envoys from various places have also followed me for many years. I know the importance of commerce and trade, and I will work hard to promote the prosperity of commerce.  The main purpose is to allow commercial transactions to support the court's tax revenue, thereby reducing agricultural taxes, reducing the burden on farmers, and allowing the Tang Dynasty to continue to prosper. However, it will take time to achieve this goal. The establishment of this general merchant house is of great importance.  It is reasonable for merchants from all over the world to pay attention to it, and many Jiedushi envoys also pay attention to it, which means that my goal has been achieved. " "In order to develop local commerce, Jiedushi envoys from various places attach great importance to trade. This is a good thing, but  The political affairs hall discusses business matters from the perspective of the imperial court and occupies the height of the Tang Dynasty. This is something that Jiedu envoys from various places cannot understand. Therefore, when the political affairs hall discusses business matters, it is okay to give due consideration to the Jiedushi envoys' opinions, but not  "I have carefully read the letters written to you by the military governors from various places, and some of them are reasonable. For example, the letter from Lingnan military governor Lu Guangqi stated that the number of overseas merchants is huge.  There should be representatives of overseas merchants in the Chamber of Commerce. This must be considered. The Ministry of Household Affairs has made statistics on the number of overseas merchants. The number has reached 500,000. With so many merchants and their families, if the General Chamber of Commerce  There are no representatives of them, which is inappropriate. " "There are also some opinions that are inappropriate. For example, the suggestion of Lu Sheng'an, the governor of Longyou, is to divide the quotas for the Thirteen Roads of the Tang Dynasty and the Jingzhao Prefecture.  The number of traders who enter the General Chamber of Commerce is basically the same. This is not appropriate. I know what Lu Sheng'an thinks. The trade in the north is far inferior to that in the south. In terms of the strength of trade, the number of traders in the north who can enter the chamber of commerce is obviously less than  The South, but this is the actual situation and cannot be avoided. The level of business development in the North is far less than that in the South. The number of representatives of the General Chamber of Commerce should be biased towards the South. " "I once said that in business, these are the key points.  Since the year, commerce has been prosperous and developed, and chambers of commerce have played a huge role. Some ministers in the DPRK have suggested that governments at all levels should have direct jurisdiction over chambers of commerce. I do not agree with this opinion. Do not let outsiders manage matters that are handled by experts. That will lead to more chaos and chaos.  Importantly, Mr. Yu Ge must remember that the president of the General Chamber of Commerce sent by the Ministry of Revenue must be proficient in business matters, and his words and deeds must convince the representatives of the General Chamber of Commerce. Only in this way can he truly manage the General Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the court. " "Political Affairs Hall deliberations.  Generally speaking, the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce and the General Chamber of Commerce are good, but there are also areas that need improvement. I won’t go into details about the specific matters. The political hall will take charge of it. The fifth day of June is the day when the General Chamber of Commerce was established, and it has been less than two months.  Before the Zhengshitang makes the final decision, it is appropriate to seek advice from businessmen. This is an important matter and cannot be delayed. "  .  .  After Yu Chenghui and Cui Shenyou left, Cui Anqian stayed.  Li Rupei looked at Cui Anqian's hair, which was almost all white, and sighed.  "Father-in-law should pay more attention to his health. He has worked too hard these years, especially after coming to the capital. I learned from the queen that my father-in-law sleeps less than three hours a day. He spends most of his time resting in the Shangshu Provincial Office, and he has no food or drink.  Guaranteed, I can't go on like this. I'm so young. It's hard for me to bear it for a few months. What's more, my father-in-law is old. I can't do without his help, and the Tang Dynasty can't do without his hard work. " Cui Anqian hurriedly said.  Stand up and prepare to salute.  Li Rupei walked down the steps and held Cui Anqian down.  "My father-in-law and I are here, so we don't need those polite etiquettes. I have received a lot of memorials, saying that the power controlled by famous families is too great, but how could they know that the ministers around me are working so hard, how could they  Thinking about glory and wealth, I think that as long as the Tang Dynasty can prosper, it is also right for ministers to enjoy glory and wealth. " Cui Anqian's lips trembled and he finally spoke.  "My health does not matter. Your Majesty must take care of yourself. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty has begun to appear. I dare to say that in less than ten years, the Tang Dynasty will create unprecedented prosperity. I am deeply honored to be able to contribute to this."  "With your auspicious words, I also hope that day will come soon. This is the thousand-year-old ginseng I received from overseas merchants. After my father-in-law returned, I drank it and drank it.?Body, I can only watch you work hard now. Like you, I am too tired to bear it. Sometimes I think that the Cui family of Qinghe was tied up by me, like an old scalper, working hard, maybe the Tang Dynasty  Only when the day of true prosperity arrives will the people of the world understand.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
