I'm a big dick

Chapter 374
The establishment of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, and the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, as well as the imperial court's recognition of the three major chambers of commerce, greatly stimulated merchant organizations including the Yangtze River Merchant Gang.

Being bestowed with the rank of the people is naturally an improvement in social status, from a despicable businessman to a scholar who does not worship officials; if you directly write a letter, the emperor can see his suggestions and suggestions.

The chamber of commerce also has officials sent by the imperial government to sit in the town. When encountering extortion and exploitation by the government, they have their own way to make decisions.The commercial tax has been raised, but to become an organization like the three major chambers of commerce, how many bold and shameless officials dare to manage it?

The businessman is very shrewd, with careful calculations and a thorough analysis of the balance of interests.

But to get the approval of the imperial court and the treatment like the three major chambers of commerce, you have to find a way!Recommendations by officials are cracking down on collusion between officials and businessmen. Who dares to speak for them?

Fortunately, there was a businessman who had some friendship with Tang Mo. He came to visit, said good things, made various guarantees, and naturally had some commercial benefits, so Tang Mo agreed to mention a few words when he wrote the letter to see what Long Live meant.

Tang Mo is a knowledgeable person, and he has been instructed by Zhong Xia, so he can guess a thing or two about Wansui's thoughts, and he also knows Wansui's attitude towards the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, when he mentioned the Yangtze River Merchant Gang in the letter, he was more confident.At least, he knew that Wanzai would not be displeased by it.

Zhu Youxiao did intend to encourage the establishment of chambers of commerce, and the signal sent out was not obvious, but it was not surprising that it was speculated.

Using chambers of commerce to gather merchants together, pay integrity deposits, self-supervision, and self-discipline management, this is more efficient than government inspections.

At least, in the current Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao does not believe in the efficiency and ability of the government.Moreover, this also saves the cost of adding officials.

However, the direct rewards and punishments of the chamber of commerce by the imperial court made the chamber of commerce have relatively high requirements for its members.The chairman must at least have both morality and wealth, and be relatively influential, so that he can be awarded the title of citizen.

If the chamber of commerce is established, if it absorbs those unscrupulous businessmen, won't it cause trouble for itself?
Over time, the businessman may become what Zhu Youxiao hopes.Whether it is righteous businessmen, patriotic businessmen, or law-abiding businessmen, the living space of unscrupulous businessmen may be crowded out and eliminated.

Although this is only in the imagination, Zhu Youxiao is working hard in this direction.The establishment and operation of the three major chambers of commerce showed good signs and gave him great confidence.

The Changjiang Chamber of Commerce will definitely accept and recognize it, which just makes up for the vertical and horizontal waterway transportation network that Zhu Youxiao wants to gradually establish.

There were no airplanes, railways, or highways. In ancient times, waterways were the most convenient, fastest, and cheapest mode of transportation.

Prospering the sea transport will enable the coastal cities to develop and trade with foreign countries; the inland river shipping will promote the economic development of the interior and greatly speed up the flow of people, property and goods.

As a golden waterway, the Yangtze River flows through Sichuan, Yunnan, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Huizhou and other provinces, and flows into the East China Sea; hundreds of tributaries converge from north to south, and even extend to Guizhou, Gansu, Shaanxi, Henan, Guangxi, Zhejiang and other provinces.

There is no need to talk about the tall Yangtze River Economic Belt. During the Little Ice Age, transporting food to Gansu, Shaanxi and Henan through the Yangtze River to the hardest-hit areas such as Gansu, Shaanxi and Henan was a great cause to save countless people.

What's more, as long as the relief food can be transported to the northwest and Henan, even if it is a major famine, it will not lead to civil unrest, let alone become uncontrollable in history.

Since Hankou is a distribution center for rice, it will be faster and more convenient to develop.Huguang is cooked, and the world is full.The impact of the Little Ice Age on the south is not so serious.

Zhu Youxiao thought carefully for a moment, and wrote a palindrome to Tang Mo.The establishment of a chamber of commerce cannot always be done by oneself. The specific rules and regulations have been formulated and promulgated soon, and a business department has been established under the household department for review.

Of course, for those who have made outstanding contributions, those who want to be rewarded with nobles still have to be rewarded by the emperor.

Volunteer business and hard work, these two Lords are rewarded.But the biggest handwriting, after it was published in the newspaper, immediately caused a big stir in the ruling and opposition parties.

If the warriors are not rewarded, more than 800 people will be rewarded at once.Defeated Daishan's Liaonan Corps, captured Amin's flying cavalry and dragon cavalry, as well as the meritorious officers and soldiers of Dongjiang headquarters.

Among them, the Liaonan Corps has the most, and the "Panshi" is the backbone of the association. The hundreds of officers and soldiers who survived are also at the lowest level of eighth, and the highest is at the sixth level.

In addition to conferring titles and awards, there are thousands of officers and soldiers.

Rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and rewards are not stingy. The emperor wants to improve the status of the soldiers and give a huge incentive before the big counterattack.

As for the dead and disabled officers and soldiers, the emperor once again emphasized that the pensions cannot be reduced, that the care of the disabled retirees and military family members should not be delayed, and that local officials will be held accountable and severely punished if they are slack.

The emperor has never been stingy with the provision of food and salaries for the army and the rewards and awards for military merits.The imperial court's finances are not enough, and the internal funds are also generous.

"Long live Long live Long live!"

The voice of Shanhu Long live is exciting. It is not a hundred officials or ten thousand people, but a heroic soldier, loud and passionate.

Zhu Youxiao raised his hand slowly, and said loudly, "Pingshen."

After being amplified by several specially made large iron speakers, the emperor's voice seemed a little muffled, but the volume was sufficient, and everyone in the school field could hear it clearly.

"Thank you Long Live Long En." The voice was both tidy and loud, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not teach it in vain.

These are the backbone of the Panshi Battalion who survived many battles and were ordered to go to Beijing to receive rewards.

Armors, military uniforms, and sabers are all brand new. Coupled with the murderous aura exuded by these people, hundreds of people have the aura of thousands of troops.

The best training is actual combat. After this life-and-death battle, you have tempered such a majestic military might that can sweep away all powerful enemies.

"Long live my emperor Xie, long live, long live!" Hundreds of people thanked in unison and stood up.

Zhu Youxiao likes this kind of occasion, although there is no reviewing car, and there is no admirably neat goose step.But the soldiers of this era, as long as they are given what they deserve, they are equally loyal, brave, and fearless against powerful enemies.

"Long live—" Sun Chengzong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, wanted to make one last effort, but before he could finish speaking, the emperor raised his hand to stop him.

"Fighting for the country, bleeding and sacrificing, they should be treated like this." Zhu Youxiao said slowly: "I want everyone in the world to know that they can enjoy peace, all in exchange for the lives and blood of soldiers. To soldiers Respect is what every Daming person should do."

Sun Chengzong bowed back with a little helplessness, and then passed down an order. Hundreds of people lined up on the stage to accept the personal award from the Ninth Five-Year Supreme and the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

These soldiers have heard the imperial decree and looked at the emperor from a distance, but they dare not even think about face to face.Moreover, even in the entire Ming Dynasty, few people had such an opportunity.

"Little one, Feng, Feng Datie, long live!" Feng Datie lowered his head slightly, not daring to look straight in the face, his voice trembled, and he stuttered a bit.

Although the emperor has already explained, it is not a crime to watch in person; in the barracks, wearing armor and bowing your head is to pay respects.

But Feng Datie and others couldn't change it for a while, and they still knelt on one knee to worship.

In fact, although the military rites prescribed by the emperor were used for awarding, they are also very inherited and refined.

According to historical records, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was no need to kneel and worship in the barracks.

Soldiers who have already put on armor only bow their hands to the superior, which is called "the intermediary does not salute"; when the military chariot travels, even if someone salutes the driver, there is no need to perform the "style" to return the salute, which is called "the military chariot does not salute".

"If you have been awarded a civilian title, you can call yourself a humble minister; if you have been promoted to a military officer, you can call yourself a junior general." Zhu Youxiao said loudly: "Raise your head and chest, let me take a good look at the warriors of Ming Dynasty."

Feng Datie followed suit somewhat mechanically, holding the helmet with one hand, motionless like a wooden man, without blinking his eyes.

"Feng Datie—a good man." Zhu Youxiao nodded, smiling kindly, full of admiration, stretched out his hand to pin the badge of the Duke on his chest, took the medal from the palace man, and signaled Feng Datie to bow his head and come forward.

Feng Datie took a step forward only after being reminded by the officials next to him, and lowered his head deeply.

Zhu Youxiao hung the medal around Feng Datie's neck, and carefully adjusted the ribbon. He took a small step back, looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction.

"The last general thanks my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" Feng Datie got another signal from the official, and knelt down on one knee to salute.

There is no need for any other excitement and encouragement, nor is it used to express loyalty by saying "there is only after death".From the expressions and demeanor of these soldiers, Zhu Youxiao knew how excited they were.

Serving as a soldier eats food and supports the family.It cannot be criticized that such thinking is too selfish, too narrow, and lacks the nobility of serving the country and the people.

But when this basic requirement is no longer a problem, there will be a higher level of pursuit, as long as there is this opportunity.Such as being rewarded for military merit, such as being promoted to an officer...

Obviously, the emperor not only gave the soldiers a chance, but also showed them a bright future.As long as you fulfill your duty as a soldier, as long as you fight bravely, rich rewards are waiting for you.

Thought sublimation, Zhu Youxiao did not give up.But he believes that rewards and punishments are clearly defined, that "under a great reward, there must be a brave man", and that if you want people to pay, you must give him the same reward.

Officers and soldiers came to power one by one, and the emperor conferred titles and honors one by one.

The emperor didn't speak much, he repeated the simple, even vulgar name, and praised him as "a good man".Immediately, many people's faces turned red, their blood boiled, and their voices trembled with excitement.

Show off?Invitation to buy people's hearts?Zhu Youxiao didn't think there was anything wrong, just like public opinion propaganda, it couldn't inspire and guide, so why use it?
If it was just empty talk, even Zhu Youxiao would feel embarrassed in the face of these simple and innocent "good guys".

The remuneration has been implemented, and Zhu Youxiao has the confidence to face these warriors and those more martyrs who died to serve the country without feeling blush.

What does it depend on to destroy the slaves, what to defend against foreign enemies and keep the country safe, what to rely on to enjoy the peace in the palace?If you don't understand these things and treat these soldiers kindly, then you deserve to subjugate your country and hang yourself from a tree.

A long time passed, and Zhu Youxiao didn't feel bored or tired.

When all the warriors lined up in the school field and thanked God again, he felt full of strength.

"My beloved ministers, as well as all the soldiers of Ming Dynasty, you fought for the country, and you will die with no regrets. I will not hesitate to reward you, and I will also bless you and other future generations. This is my promise, my oath. I will never break my promise, never Breach of faith, the world will learn from it!"

With a loud voice, the emperor's solemn promise spread throughout the school grounds and into everyone's ears.How many of the ninety-five supreme emperors solemnly took the world as a mirror and swore oaths to ordinary soldiers?

Wang Shaohui, the new editor-in-chief of "Daming Forum", took a charcoal brush and quickly recorded. Although he had never learned shorthand, he had an excellent memory.

It became his task as the editor-in-chief to follow Wansui to participate in some foreign affairs and record the emperor's instructions in the newspaper.

If more people took small notebooks and recorded my golden words well—Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar, and it should happen frequently in a small country in later generations.

cut!What are you thinking, I am holding a hero commendation meeting!
When Amin and other Jiannu captives are taken to the capital, there will be a grand sacrifice ceremony.I want to practice "take it" again, the voice must be loud and loud, and the sound can shake the Meridian Gate.

Or—learn from Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, and wear a military uniform to participate in the prisoner offering ceremony, so that my heroic image will be deeply imprinted in the minds of the people of Ming Dynasty.

........................

The emperor didn't care about the captives of Horqin's tribe at all, and he wasn't going to "click" at the captive presentation ceremony.

Regarding these Mongolian nobles, Zhu Youxiao had other ideas. Killing them all at once was not in line with his extremely long-term plan.

But there were three people who did not know the emperor's mind, and entered the capital with complex emotions such as apprehension, worry, fear, and bewilderment.

Seeing the magnificence and majesty of Beijing City, Darhan, Hai Lanzhu and Bumbutai immediately saw the elephant like ants, and they were astonished as if in a dream, unbelievable.

Tianjin is already a big city, but it is not comparable to Beijing.As for the city of Grejurgen—forget it, it’s not shameful enough to compare.

The three of them entered the capital together with the middle-aged businessman named Li Shiying. They declined Li Shiying's invitation. They found an inn to stay temporarily, but they didn't hide it from Li Shiying, and they hoped to get some news through him!
The two sisters stayed at the inn, and Darhan went out for a stroll, and when he came back, breathing alcohol, he told them that the prisoner dedication ceremony had not yet been held.

"Could it be slower than us?" Bumbutai ate the food Darhan bought back, guessing with some doubts.

Hai Lanzhu's chopsticks stopped, and she frowned slightly, but she didn't want to speak out her guessing thoughts.

After a long while, Hai Lanzhu asked Darhan in a consulting tone, "I thought a lot on the way. In the capital of the Ming Dynasty, none of us can ask for help, let alone meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Except for Nuke from the Jalut Department ..."

"He—" Darhan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "The Chahar army attacked us, and the five divisions of Nekarka only sent troops to help."

Bumbutai blinked and looked at Sister A, thinking that Sister A might have some bad thoughts.That Nuke chatted on the road, but he had some malicious intentions and didn't look at himself that way.
