Iron Dynasty

Chapter 54: Chamber of Commerce

   The swarm of businessmen has made Qingzhou City more noisy than ever before, and the streets and lanes are full of merchants coming from outside.

  After waiting for three days in Qingzhou City, a notice that made business people ecstatic was posted in Qingzhou. Any business in Qingzhou can go to the Patent Department to obtain the method of soap production. The specific matters are explained in the Patent Department.

   As soon as the news came out, the businessmen immediately inquired about the patent department, and inquired where it was, and then rushed to the patent department across from the Dudu's House.

   The merchants were ecstatic, and there were also those who were afraid. Just as Xiao Ming thought, the Wang family found Xiao Ming the first time after the announcement.

   "Your royal family can also build a workshop to produce soap." Xiao Ming's words immediately left Wang Shijie speechless. "At that time, your royal family will produce as many soaps as they want."

  Wang Shijie groaned for a while, and then said: "His Royal Highness, as a result, the number of soap production has soared, and the soap merchants are all over the world. How can the price of this soap be controlled, and how can the mutual conflict between merchants everywhere be solved?"

  "This king has long been concerned about it." Xiao Ming smiled calmly.

   What Wang Shijie said is a prominent problem in this era, which is the mutual influx of merchants. It can be said that many of the merchants who came to Qingzhou this time are big merchants, and their backs are somewhat related to other vassals and powers.

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

   This phenomenon is not only in this era. In modern times, there are also local businessmen who bully foreign businessmen.

  "His Royal Highness, please express it." Wang Shijie said.

   People are greedy, especially merchants. The Wang family knows that opening up soap production is beneficial to the Wang family. They can profit from soap production, but they are not willing to abandon first-line sales.

   Xiao Ming said lightly: "Chamber of Commerce."

   The competition of merchants will inevitably bring about various problems. The Chamber of Commerce is an organization that restricts the behavior of merchants. Xiao Ming's real purpose is to use the Chamber of Commerce to build Qingzhou into the commercial center of the country.

   Wang Shijie naturally did not understand what the Chamber of Commerce is, 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 merchants, but Xiao Ming cannot talk to Wang Shijie for some purpose.

   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 may also have to spend part of the money to buy it.

   Dismissed Wang Shijie, and Xiao Ming set about preparing for the Chamber of Commerce. This time, all merchants involved in soap production must join the Chamber of Commerce and be managed uniformly, otherwise the Patent Department will not provide technology.

  In the Patent Department, businessmen who came to consult also came into contact with the concept of chambers of commerce.

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

The businessman on one side had a big belly and said slowly: "We can only say that King Qi is not easy. We can't underestimate it, but no matter what, we have a letter from King Wei to King Qi, and King Qi will take care of us. After all, Wang Wei and Wang Qi are neighbors."

"That's also true. The housekeeper Qian just said that King Qi will summon all merchants to discuss the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow. We just need to wait for the changes. However, it is said that this time King Cui Yan, Li Chu, and Zheng Liang. All the merchants under the command of the feudal lords have come, and the situation is not optimistic."

"Brother Chen said, not to mention the princes of different surnames, there are also many merchants under the princes." He looked at the courtyard of the Patent Department, the merchants gathered in twos and threes, and they wore silk and gold. Jin Wuyi is not a wealthy giant.

   The next day, as the Patent Department said, Xiao Ming summoned nearly a thousand merchants who came to Qingzhou in the Dudu’s Mansion.

   For the profit of soap, no merchants are absent.

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

   Many of these merchants brought personal letters from either the feudal lords or the ministers. The meaning was clear. It was to let Xiao Ming take care of it. To Xiao Ming's surprise, there were letters from several princes and princesses.

   But the people who wrote these letters are also aware that this letter is like waste paper to Xiao Ming. After all, Xiao Ming's arrogant and surly character did not just talk about it, but what they did was just an explanation for the subordinate businessmen.

   At this time, the merchants below were either triumphant, frowning, or whispering. Although they had a solid background, they were still low-ranking merchants and did not dare to be rude to Xiao Ming.

   "When you are called today, you know that it is for the Chamber of Commerce." When the merchants arrived, Xiao Ming drank his mouth and began to talk about the Chamber of Commerce.

  "His Royal Highness Qi is also requested to express it." A group of merchants said in unison.

  Xiao Ming said, "You must have come to Qingzhou this time for soap, drunken Qingzhou and perfume. The purpose of this chamber of commerce is to buy and sell these three commodities fairly."

  As soon as these words came out~www.NovelMTL.com~, the merchants underneath immediately became restless, and one asked: "His Royal Highness means not only to open up the production of soap, but this drunk Qingzhou, will perfume be open to production?"

   "No, Perfume and Zuiqingzhou will not open the technology for the time being, but those who join the Chamber of Commerce will get the right to sell." Xiao Ming responded.

  "This is also good."

"Great."

   "It's not in vain."

   "……"

   The merchants suddenly became excited.

  Xiao Ming continued: "The purpose of the Chamber of Commerce is like this. Anyone in the Chamber of Commerce can freely buy and sell the products that Qingzhou will open in the future, but while enjoying the convenience, the Chamber of Commerce has its own rules..."

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

   One of the clear regulations is that the sales area of ​​the products in the chamber of commerce must be obtained from the chamber of commerce at a fair price. All the products of the chamber of commerce are priced by the chamber of commerce. The chamber of commerce will establish an arbitration division to arbitrate malicious competition among merchants under the chamber of commerce.

   These brand-new ideas are transmitted through the technology spar, so that these businessmen who come are like divine enlightenment, and a brand-new business structure makes these businessmen amazed.

"I think you should also understand now. This is the map of Dayu State. The map shows all the states and counties of Dayu State. The auction of management rights will be based on the state. Now this king gives you time to think, willing Joining the Chamber of Commerce will get huge profits. Those who are unwilling to join the Chamber of Commerce leave Qingzhou. The right to choose is in your hands. This king does not force it." Xiao Ming said at last.
