Chapter 373
Dushikou is in the middle hall of the general office.

Zhang Cheng drank a cup of tea before he opened his mouth and said: "Franchise, taking salt, wine and tea as an example, there is a certain scale of business name as a franchisee, which prepays the franchise tax in advance according to the share of business reported at the beginning of the year.
In this way, the reported share of salt, wine and tea can be sold and distributed from the fixed stores in Dushi, Chicheng, and Yunzhou on the North Road, and the remaining merchants can only buy from these franchised stores or official stores. In-store purchases.

For the time being, there are no more than three franchised shops for salt, wine and tea, and the evaluation is done every three years, that is, the franchised licenses are issued once every three years. However, if each franchised shop violates the regulations, it can be punished at any time, or even directly revoked its license. "

Qin Zichen asked directly, "Master Admiral, can merchants like me who have not opened a store on North Road participate in the competition for franchise licenses?"

"In principle, only those who have established a business in Dabao City on North Road, have operated for more than one year, and have no business tax arrears can participate in the competition for this franchise license."

Zhang Cheng looked at Wang Muchen and Qin Zichen who looked expectant, and continued: "However, Ruichangtai and Gandeji are both big companies. If you intend to develop in our North Road, the admiral will welcome you. These conditions may be appropriate. Relax."

He continued: "The two of you are coming to attend this general's wedding banquet. Since you are my friends, I welcome you to set up a shop on our North Road, but this rule is not for the two of you. It's not good. Abandon.

However, other than that, it is a matter of great convenience. If the two of you need anything, you can go to Lin Fangping, or you can go directly to Commander Jin Xinpeng to solve it. "

He paused, and then said: "Since the two of you regard Zhang as friends, I will leave a word today. No matter what the two of you have committed elsewhere, you can only enter my North Road Realm. I will keep both of you." The place is safe and sound."

…………

On the same day, Zhang Cheng also met Cheng Ruzhi, the shopkeeper of Zhencheng Qing'an and Liangzhuang, Zhao Zhenju, the Shaodong of Hongyuanfu, Tang Zhiyi, the owner of Wanhebuzhuang, and Yang Wanjin, the owner of Baoan Weishun Longchang Niu Ma Xing.

The talk is nothing more than franchise and business tax matters.

But Zhang Cheng talked with Zhencheng Qing'an, Liangzhuang Cheng Ruzhi, and Wanhebuzhuang Tang Zhiyi.

Because more than a thousand soldiers under Zhang Cheng's command were recruited in Zhencheng, and although some of their family members have moved to North Road, most of them are still in Zhencheng.

Zhang Cheng then discussed with Cheng Ruzhi and Tang Zhiyi, regarding the matter of mutual recognition of military tickets, if the two of them are willing, in the future they will open a grain store and cloth shop on the North Road, and there is no need to transport grain and cloth from other places, but directly from the North Road It can be paid in advance in the official treasury.

The military tickets issued by Zhang Cheng to the sergeants can also be directly exchanged for grain and coarse cloth in their grain farms and cloth shops.

In this way, those sergeants whose family members are in the town only need to send the received military tickets to their homes, and then they can go directly to the branches of Qing'an, Liangzhuang and Wanhebuzhuang to exchange for grain and cloth.

Cheng Ruzhi and Tang Zhiyi can regularly use military tickets to offset the grain and coarse cloth they have paid in advance at the North Road official storehouse. In this way, the cost of transportation and Zhang Cheng is saved. trouble.

The two of them readily agreed.

Like other companies that came to Zhang Cheng's wedding banquet, they all came to explore the way, casually get in touch with the brightest new star in Xuanda's military circle first, and if there is a need to talk to Zhang Cheng in the future, they will also be able to talk to each other.

In particular, Cheng Ruzhi, the treasurer of Anhe Liangzhuang, boldly made a request that surprised even Zhang Cheng, that is, his Liangzhuang can exchange silver taels for Zhang Cheng's sergeants.

As long as the military ticket of the North Road is presented, the marked value can be exchanged for grain, rough cloth, and silver in the same amount, and Zhang Cheng readily agrees.

Seeing that Cheng Ruzhi had taken the lead, Tang Zhiyi, the owner of Wanhe Cloth Village, could only secretly blame himself for being too cautious. He also hurriedly stated that his own cloth line can also be exchanged for North Road military tickets.

Hongyuanfu is a big business, and they have a lot of business. This time, they came to Zhang Cheng's wedding banquet and presented congratulatory gifts, just to establish a relationship and leave a line for the future.

His Shaodong, Zhao Zhenju, was quite young, and Zhang Cheng reckoned that he was also about 24 or [-] years old. Although he didn't talk a lot, he was very insightful every time he said something, and Zhang Cheng also paid great attention to him.

As for Baoanwei Shunlongchang Cattle and Horse Co., Ltd., it mainly sells cattle, sheep, horses and mules, and occasionally helps other companies to earn some shipping fees. Yang Wanjin also reached an agreement with Zhang Cheng.

They also set up branch offices in Dabao and Zhoucheng on the East Road in Shunlongchang, and military tickets on the North Road can also be exchanged for grain, cloth, and silver at each branch in Shunlongchang.

And he asked Zhang Cheng to allow him to buy mountains, forests and grasslands on North Road to sell cattle, sheep, mules and horses.

…………

Before dinner, Zhang Cheng met with Diao Dacheng from Chicheng Zuixianju on North Road, and Xu Qingyi from Dushikou Sihai Motors.

Needless to say, Diao Dacheng was originally a spy under Zhang Cheng's command. This time, he just took part in Zhang Cheng's wedding banquet to show his prominence on Beilu, so that he could integrate into the business district of Beilu, collect information for Zhang Cheng, and Watching everyone.

According to Zhang Cheng's design, Diao Dacheng's Zuixianju will be the first to obtain the franchise of wine, so that he can appear in the upper class of the North Road business district and earn the necessary funds.

The Four Seas Car Shop is a local firm in Dushi, its main business is to sell all kinds of groceries, and it also does some trafficking for other firms.

Xu Qingyi's family was also from a military family, but since his grandfather, he has been in business for three generations, and has contacts with various officials in Kaipingwei, and even has connections with various officials and generals in the East Road.

Before that, Jin Xinpeng had introduced him, but even though Zhang Cheng also met him at that time, he first arrived at Beilu when he was busy with military affairs, so he didn't talk much about it.

It's different now, now, Zhang Cheng has more than ten thousand strong troops, and the camp operations, reclamation, and ordnance manufacturing on the North Road are on the right track, so he has time to deploy business and increase his money income.

But Xu Qingyi is different from other firms, he has a certain strength in himself, and he also has some thugs to guard him. Although he can't compare with Zhang Cheng's regular sergeants, he is already a force that cannot be underestimated by the people.

Moreover, this Xu Qingyi has been involved in various schools and schools, and his business is quite complicated. In his father's generation, he used to let off loan sharks, but it was only when he was born that he gradually turned into a serious business.

He already knew about the franchise and the introduction of commercial tax. This time, he asked for a meeting for no other reason. For him, it was a surrender.

He is a local firm in Beilu, so he knows Zhang Cheng's strength and thoughts better than other firms. Since Beilu is so exhausted, Zhang Cheng can still gather nearly [-] soldiers, and his army is obviously strong. The other generals in Xuanzhen.
