I'm a big dick

Chapter 233

This is to say that good fair competition does not take advantage?
Fan Yongdou took a deep look at Wu Dazhang who was talking and laughing loudly, shook his head with a wry smile, got up and left.

According to the established regulations, the license for foreign trade does not need to be bought, but can be obtained by paying a deposit.

However, the key lies in this but.

Obtaining a trade license is only the first step, but it does not mean that you can directly go out to trade with the Mongols, because the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has been designated as the one in charge of trade.

What do you mean, that is, you are qualified to sell goods, but the buyer will be the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.You are also allowed to set the price of the commodity. The suggestion of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is to increase the price by [-]%.

Of course, how much you add is your freedom, but whether you can sell it at this price is hard to say.The Chinese Chamber of Commerce does not pay cash to buy, but sells and then pays.

Besides, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce also has a channel to buy goods, and the approximate price is clear, and you can't fool them.

If the price is set high, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce will say that it cannot be sold, and it will be piled up in the warehouse to pay the storage fee!
The price was set low, and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce sold it to the Mongols at a different price.The big head belongs to someone else and has nothing to do with you.

Although the words are not stated clearly, the suggestion of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is basically a fixed price.I only give you [-]% of the profit, and you have to pay commercial tax, so you are happy to quit.

Monopoly, Chiguoguo's monopoly!
Fan Yongdou and others predicted that it might be difficult to obtain the permit, and the court would favor Wu Dazhang, but they did not expect this to be the case.

If it's just an ordinary businessman, such conditions and such a profit are acceptable.

But these eight families did not earn such a small amount of money in the previous border trade.That's right, in the eyes of those who used to monopolize foreign trade, this kind of profit is small money.

It is the obvious intention of the imperial court to control foreign trade.

It is useless to guess whether it is to make money, or to strengthen the control of the Mongols through economic means, or both.

The meat and bones are gone, and the soup, if you want to drink it, you can still drink it.

Fan Yongdou and others held their noses and paid the deposit and got the license, but they didn't want to see Wu Dazhang's face again, and they all left the table.

Wu Dazhang was triumphant, and was talking about the benefits of the new border trade policy with a few close businessmen.

"The warehouses and inns are all built by the Chamber of Commerce, and there are discounts for everyone. They are all merchants who sell goods, and the hard work involved is the most clear."

Wu Dazhang first looked empathetic, and then changed his tone of persuasion, "Everyone knows that the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has obtained the permission of the imperial court to rely on the post station to build warehouses and stores? This is for the convenience of merchants to transport goods. It is safe and reliable."

Do you think this is a loss-making business for the Chinese Chamber of Commerce?It costs money to build a warehouse and store, but is it not profitable to operate it?After it develops, it can also add services such as transportation.

"I admire the Chinese Chamber of Commerce very much, and I also admire President Wu's urgency and righteousness." A businessman cupped his hands and said, "I don't know, what are the conditions for joining the Chamber of Commerce?"

Seeing that everyone showed concern, Wu Dazhang couldn't help coughing dryly, and said seriously: "The conditions are very simple, honesty and law-abiding, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism."

Stretching out his fat hand and waving it in the air, Wu Dazhang's face became more serious, "An unprofitable person, an unscrupulous person, even if he has a lot of money, this chamber of commerce will never accept it, and if it is accepted by mistake, it will be removed immediately."

"I want everyone to know that the Chamber of Commerce and the Maritime Chamber of Commerce are favored by Long live, and have the right to submit a letter." Wu Dazhang looked around at the merchants, and said loudly: "If there are officials who pervert the law and oppress them, Long Live will make the decision."

Oh ah!It turns out that with such a background, it is no wonder that they want to monopolize foreign trade. This is the meaning of long live!

All the businessmen let out exclamations of admiration, and looked at Wu Dazhang with very different expressions.

It's not common for people to give the title of the people.And when he joined the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, he was bullied and blackmailed by the government, so he had a place to sue for grievances, and the Ninth Five-Year Supreme decided it!

Wu Dazhang looked at the crowd deeply, nodded slightly from time to time, and a warm smile appeared on his fat face.

I didn't lie to you, this is really the privilege of our Chinese Chamber of Commerce.Long live the grace, will give the law-abiding and honest businessmen to decide.

"As long as you act in accordance with the law, I will make decisions for you. The stability of the place that can be maintained by mediocrity is also complicity..."

Liu Lishun, the county magistrate of Jiashan County, Jiaxing Prefecture, looked at the noisy eunuchs and students in the yamen, remembered Wansui's words, and made up his mind to be tough to the end.

Hu Cheng and Zhang Rui knelt in front of the hall, looked at each other, and both showed a few traces of joyful smiles.

These two guys have no status, or it is more appropriate to be called Haonu.

But they are all righteous sons of Xu Tingjiao, a township eunuch. Relying on the power of their masters, they collect rent and extort donations, and lend money to force them to write down their children's farmland.

As for the powerful gentry like Xu Tingjiao, most of their wealth is obtained by plundering and coercing these powerful slaves and evil servants from the common people.

It can be said that Hu Cheng and Zhang Rui are the master's hawks and dogs, the thugs who dominate the township eunuchs, and they are also tools for them to amass money and plunder land.

"Hu Cheng and Zhang Rui extorted money and forced Dong Dafen to death." Liu Lishun patted the gavel heavily, and said in a loud voice: "Now the evidence is convincing, the criminal has pleaded guilty, and you are waiting for clamor..."

"I'm wronged, I'm wronged!" Hu Chenggui wailed and howled, and interrupted Liu Lishun, "It's true that the grassroots lend money, but Dong Dafen's death has nothing to do with the grassroots. The pleading is because he couldn't be tortured, and the torture was a trick."

"Beating is a trick!" Zhang Rui got the reminder, immediately pouted his buttocks, and cried, "If you don't do it, you will be beaten to death by the board."

The student Zhou Wenzhuo took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty of the County. Hu Cheng and Zhang Rui are the servants of the eunuch Xu Xiang. the case."

Liu Lishun looked coldly at this famous litigator in the county, and said in a deep voice: "The facts of the case are clear and clear. If I decide the case according to the law, why is there any twists and turns? If you think that the judge's decision is unfair, you can sue the government. , Contempt over Ji Gang, are you not afraid of the laws of the country?"

Zhou Wenxuan was not afraid, and said loudly: "Your Excellency said it lightly. Who will bear the loss of money and delay in labor when suing to the government office? ?”

Liu Lishun was furious, pointing at Zhou Wen and scolding: "Bold and crazy, clever tongue and sophistry, making trouble in the court. Come and take it down with me."

This is not just about the two slaves breaking the law, but also involves a deeper contradiction.

Liu Lishun knew in his heart that this matter must not be compromised.Otherwise, my prestige will be greatly reduced, these guys will make progress, and all the efforts to rectify government affairs will be in vain.
