Chapter 59
Naturally, the establishment of a chamber of commerce had already been discussed, so Zuo Houde naturally sent people to prepare it immediately. Of course, the only trustworthy candidate around him was Yao Ping.

Zuo Houde summoned Yao Ping and said, "Go and set up a chamber of commerce immediately!"

At this time, Yao Ping hesitated: "Patriarch, I have never been a merchant!"

Zuo Houde smiled slightly: "It's nothing, you go to General Li Yu first, and ask him to find you a few shopkeepers. Those shopkeepers know it, and Ping mainly watches how they do it, just follow and learn! This chamber of commerce It was established by me and several generals, and you can go to some generals if you have difficulties!"

After Yao Ping heard this, he immediately went down to prepare.

Zuo Houde was thinking alone in his seat. Regarding this chamber of commerce, in Zuo Houde’s opinion, this is the most important link. After going through this chamber of commerce, Zuo Houde can form an alliance of interests with the high-level generals in the military. .

Zuo Houde liked a saying in his previous life: "There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests!"

An alliance that benefits everyone is often indestructible!

As soon as this Chamber of Commerce is established, Zuo Houde's deployment in the army can be said to be roughly completed.

As long as Zuo Houde's personal guards are gradually devolved into the army, and there are manpower from top to bottom, Zuo Houde can control them.

At the same time, this chamber of commerce has more purposes. The chamber of commerce needs people, so Zuo Houde can arrange for his family members to guard him. In this way, Zuo Houde can not only benefit them, but also benefit their family members. Naturally, he can subdue them.

Of course, the news that Zuo Houde was going to set up a chamber of commerce was never hidden from the twelve chambers of commerce in the city.

Naturally, these twelve companies regarded Zuo Houde's chamber of commerce as a major enemy, so they came to them together!
……

At Zuo Houde's residence, Zuo Houde watched the representatives of the twelve families come to the door.

Zuo Houde is not surprised at all, after all, setting up a chamber of commerce by himself will inevitably lose their interests.

Zhao Pingde, the head of the twelve families, looked at Zuo Houde and said, "General, you take 20 taels from each of our families every year, but now you have established another chamber of commerce!"

Zuo Houde took a sip of tea and said, "Old Mr. Zhao, there is Zuo and other generals in Zuohou's chamber of commerce. I think Mr. Lai knows it!"

Zhao Pingde nodded, and the other eleven families also nodded.

Zuo Houde slowly put down his teacup, and said leisurely: "I don't know if you are willing to join in together! The rest of the generals and I can represent the entire Ding City's officials. Mr. Zhao and others have been in business for many years, so they have their own network There are countless goods that can be collected, and the cooperation between you and me is just right! Our business can be expanded countless times, and our goods can have more choices!"

Zhao Pingde and others didn't expect that Zuo Houde actually wanted them to participate together, and they were still hesitating for a while.Of course, they are clear about Zuo Houde's words, with the official cooperation of the entire Dingcheng, business is simply not going to be easy.

Of course, he is a businessman after all, and naturally he will not be troubled by money, but Zhao Pingde immediately agreed, and the other eleven families followed suit.

A group of people reached a consensus, and Zuo Houde knew that the next step was to discuss the division of interests. Zuo Houde just stretched out four fingers and said: "Our entire military only needs [-]%, and we guarantee that you will have enough in Dingcheng." Safety!"

……

Time passed quickly, and with the help of the other [-] companies, the new firm was organized quickly. Of course, Zuo Houde recruited almost all of the manpower of the firm from his own personal guards and ordinary soldiers. family.

The chamber of commerce started to operate soon, with the network of the other [-] companies, weapons, armor and prohibited items were constantly transported from Dingcheng to Nanming, and Zuo Houde and the others were making a lot of money.

Of course, in Zuo Houde's view, money is very important, and what is more important is that he takes this opportunity to arrange his own family members in the firm, so that they will return to him.

At the same time, Zuo Houde's restaurants and shops in the city are also constantly recruiting people. They are all the family members of the soldiers in the army. Zuo Houde knows that if things go on like this, Zuo Houde doesn't need to say it himself. These soldiers who benefit will naturally follow Zuo Houde.

……

A year later, Zuo Houde's personal guard camp.

During this year, Zuo Houde continuously delegated his personal guards to the army to act as low-level officers in the army. It can be said that Zuo Houde has now been able to control the entire army through these personal guards.

Now that Zuo Houde went to the guard camp, there are only 30 people left. These 30 people are people who Zuo Houde thinks are loyal enough to him and capable at the same time. Houde gave them a future, and at the same time Zuo Houde also recruited their family into his own restaurant and shop, so that they have no worries.

Zuo Houde was of great use to them, so he didn't send them to the grassroots. After staying in the guard camp for a while, Zuo Houde entered his own military tent.

From time to time, Zuo Houde summoned the rest of the generals, and when they arrived, Zuo Houde looked at them, smiled, and said, "Everyone, do you know how much the firm has earned this year?"

Twelve firms have always been in charge of operations, and Zuo Houde is in charge of supervision. These generals will check the books from time to time, but they only know that the firm makes money, but they don't have an accurate figure.

So when they heard Zuo Houde's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

Seeing them like this, Zuo Houde didn't give a damn. He stretched out a finger and said, "1000 million taels!"

Everyone took a deep breath, even Zuo Houde didn't expect so much, Zuo Houde, as the guard of Dingcheng, naturally knew that Dingcheng's annual military expenditure was less than one million.

But this businessman can earn ten years of military expenses in one year!

Zuo Houde then began to allocate: "According to the rules, our military wants 400%, that is, 400 million is ours. Before 40 million miles, it was said that I accounted for 80%, Li Yu and others each took [-]%, which means [-], and the remaining three Two generals account for [-]% or [-]."

After finishing speaking, Zuo Houde ignored the thick breathing of everyone present, and said again: "I decided to take out 100 million from my income and distribute it to the people below the army, so that everyone in the army will have a share! "

Li Yu and the others looked at Zuo Houde in surprise, and said, "The general is merciful!"

Zuo Houde waved his hand and said: "I will eat meat, and the people below will also eat soup!"

He was also very happy when everyone left Zuo Houde. In just one year, Zuo Houde managed Dingcheng like an iron bucket. Many family members have also benefited from Zuo Houde, Zuo Houde can be said to have won the hearts of the people.

Of course, self-pollution is also what Zuo Houde has to do, especially after the cooperation of the twelve companies, through their business network, Zuo Houde's bad reputation of "lust for money and lust" spread to Hong Zaixing in Youzhou In his ears, Hong Zaixing felt that Zuo Houde's "not greedy for power" was very good!
