Take the mall to Datang

It's very cumbersome, but businessmen prefer it when they hear it. They have no status but they are rich. The pursuit of enjoyment beyond the prohibition is also their spiritual and material needs, so the cotton thing here is not finished yet. Ma Zhou has received several orders for Chinese tunic suits.

While the merchants were talking among themselves, Zheng Qi, Xue Kai, Zhang Xingzhi and a young man who claimed to be the son of the Zhao family came in front of Yuan Shan.

Xue Kai first cupped his hands and said: "Cotton can spin cloth, Master Hou has said so, then we have a solid foundation in our hearts."

Yuan Shan didn't take it seriously, the businessman's face changed really quickly, and the Kung Fu Hongmen Banquet turned into a celebration banquet in a short while, he didn't feel a trace of murderous aura yet, he thought it was very boring.

"It's all mutual benefit. Besides, the imperial court hasn't said to ignore the cotton project. Why are you so anxious? Let this matter be like this." Yuan Shan didn't want to pay attention to them at all, and his tone of speech became very casual.

Xue Kai and the others couldn't find a good reason to communicate for a while and felt very awkward. At this moment, Zheng Qi moved to Yuan Shan's side and said, "Master Hou, this is the memorial I prepared."

Yuan Shan took it over and looked at it, and thought that this guy would be looking for anyone, the writing is mellow, the phrases are gorgeous, and the compliments can make people feel numb to the bone.

The beginning of this is to praise the prince for his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, and then follow the will of God to ascend to the position of prince, plus the accumulated military exploits will make Li Shimin praise almost to heaven, and then write that the people are grateful, and then they are influenced by Li Shimin's prince's character , as a rich businessman in Chang'an, he must build roads for the people of Datang, but the credit is all with Li Shimin, and then he looked forward to a better life in Datang in the future.

It was entirely from the perspective of Yuan Shan that he praised His Highness the Crown Prince, and then solemnly mentioned the Zheng family's road construction incident by the way.

"Keep in mind the world of thousands of miles, and look into the infinite future." Yuan Shan thought it was good when he saw this, the style of writing is very good, I don't know who it was written by.

"Well, that's it." Yuan Shan simply added his name at the end. After all, he is also a fifth-rank official, so it is no problem to deliver a memorial to the court.

"After the memorial is sent up here, you can start at your home. The preliminary construction speed must be fast. The cement road needs a month's maintenance time. Although it is not possible for people to walk on it, it is very easy for people to see the effect after a while. At that time, more people will be dispatched to maintain it," Yuan Shan said.

"Yes, everything will be done according to Lord Hou's instructions. The Zheng family will send people to pull the cement today." Zheng Qi said.

"High efficiency, the Marquis likes it. The Yuan family team will help out and try to deliver more cement within three days."

Now Ma Zhou is in charge of the engineering team, which just allows the two of them to discuss the specific details.

Chapter 157 Cotton Chamber of Commerce

"Now, please be quiet, everyone. The Marquis is going to announce something here." After Yuan Shan finished speaking, everyone fell silent instantly. After all, among the 21 rich merchants, none of the three floors had more than 30 people.

"Have you ever thought about the issue of cotton sales of 60 mu, so what I want to talk about now is this matter. Lord Ben Hou wants to form a chamber of commerce. All participating merchants will maintain, promote, and maintain the order of cotton production and sales. This chamber of commerce An independent office will be set up in China. The production and sales of cotton will adopt the mode of centralized purchase, processing and redistribution. Maintaining the daily work needs of the office is voluntary and not mandatory," Yuan Shan said.

Then Ma Zhou distributed dozens of introductions of the chamber of commerce that he had already copied to everyone. This chamber of commerce was different from the guild and Shantang.

The management shareholders of the chamber of commerce will achieve a pyramid business model. The members of the chamber of commerce will give priority to selling raw materials to the chamber of commerce for processing, and then obtain the right to sell. The risk of purchasing and transporting goods will be borne by the chamber of commerce.

According to the requirements of the Chamber of Commerce, major shareholders contribute money for management, acquisition and processing, and then distribute the products, and then share the dividends of shipments.

The Chamber of Commerce will prevent members from engaging in malicious competition, help members bear certain transportation risks, and solve problems encountered in the cotton sales process, etc.

After the written introduction was returned to everyone, Zheng Qi was the first to decide to join without even thinking about it, while some other businessmen looked carefully and were not so eager.

Yuanshan, as the initiator of the Cotton Chamber of Commerce, coupled with the technical project investment, which includes the development of cotton products, etc., ensures the maximum benefit of the members of the Chamber of Commerce, and the use of funds exceeding a thousand taels of gold will be approved by the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce. vote.

"Everyone here is a powerful businessman in Chang'an. Anyone who wants to join the shareholder team of the chamber of commerce can fill in the information. Shareholders need to pay 1000 taels of gold to join the chamber of commerce. Ordinary members of the chamber of commerce only need to pay an annual membership fee of [-] yuan. "

Afterwards, the notice of recruiting members had been posted by Yanbei in an obvious place on the first and second floors, and the merchants were currently checking it out.

Three days later, the general meeting of shareholders will be held, and management personnel will be recommended to serve in the management of the chamber of commerce. These things need to be arranged by the shareholders. Yuanshan does not have so many talents here now, but he has decided to let Ma Zhou be the liaison officer up.

Originally, he wanted to arrange for Ma Zhou to be the head of the chamber of commerce, but he thought that Ma Zhou was a good man, so what if he became a prime minister in the future, he couldn't stain his life.

So I still come to help practice as a guest, no matter what he does, it is always in the name of a guest, but if you don't listen, you can't do it, Yuan Shan is so domineering.

When Yuanshan took all the girls out of Zuixianlou, the smell of perfume in the building almost made the merchants lose their minds, and the fairy tales spread in Zuixianlou.

Three days later, the two wealthy businessmen who hadn't returned from Chengdu sent people to join the Chamber of Commerce, and Zhang Xingzhi invested 1000 taels of gold to join the shareholder team on behalf of himself.

In the next few days, the accountants and stewards who were eliminated by each family came accordingly, and all the funds were in place and temporarily kept by Zheng Qi, the vice president, while Yuan Shan served as the president for a three-year term, renewable, and the board There is a veto right, but it cannot interfere with the dismissal of the management personnel of the chamber of commerce.

Ma Zhou worked as a guest secretary for the secretariat of the board of directors and became Yuan Shan's liaison with the directors.

Xue Kai served as the general manager of the chamber of commerce (equivalent to the general manager), and several others became the big shopkeepers of the chamber of commerce (equivalent to managers). Among them were Zhang Xingzhi, Zhao Tuo, and Shi Yi.

They are all wealthy businessmen and usually have their own things to do. It doesn't matter that the management has equipped each manager with a small team to help them deal with the things they have to do. All they have to do is to review, verify and approve. The execution is done by the clerks who lead the team.

Each of these 23 rich merchants has two people, including a steward and a cashier.

They are definitely elite talents. They were interviewed by the president and vice president of the chamber of commerce and all of you in person before they were hired. Those who are unqualified will be selected to make up for it.

The land for the development zone purchased by Yuanshan in Lantian County has already started construction. A three-story castle-like office building and a cotton textile factory will be built in two months.

The textile factory is a large building complex integrating warehouse, production and accommodation. The area directly occupies half of the land. Will be converted into a part of his shares in the textile factory.

It took a thousand taels of money to hire helpers and craftsmen for two months, and Yuanshan received 3000 taels of gold for cement and stone. The wind has also been invested in road construction. From Chang'an to Lantian County Development Zone, which is where the textile factory is, a five-meter-wide concrete road will be built.

It will also help Lantian County to repair some roads, and a frenzy of road construction began in this color of June in an instant.

Yuan Shan is now sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun. There are some large bamboo umbrellas placed in the inner courtyard. Yuan Shan is lying comfortably on the sun chair, accompanied by his secretaries.

Xiyin was talking about guzheng, Lanlan was dancing, Qimeng was painting, and Qinsi was helping him with fruits and drinks.

Don't mention how moist the small days are, but in the main room with the door open, Dugu Ruolan and Du Qianyu are thousands in the hall, settling accounts, while He Ye and Xinyue beside them are drenched with sweat.

But they continued happily, they were crazy with so much gold, silver and copper coins.

After this period of accumulation, the Yuan family has accumulated 5000 taels of gold, which does not include Zheng Qi's tens of thousands of taels of building materials.

After the gathering of Zuixianlou merchants, members, large and small, flocked here. All membership dues were calculated from October of this year. Each member paid [-] yuan, and a total of [-] members were collected.

Although the money is not too much, it can still make up for some of the daily expenses, and it is not short of the money. Now it is just the beginning. The membership fee at this price will be implemented according to the one-year period, and the membership fee will be reset from October next year. definition, and the implementation period will extend for three years.

Yuan Shan seemed to be very idle, but his plan had already been handed over to the management team through Ma Zhou, and then the Chamber of Commerce began to form an exclusive caravan to supply textile factories to transport goods, and those coming from the business sector were their first choice.

It's very simple to swallow a big and small, and then jointly form a large, super-large caravan dedicated to selling cotton and cotton products.

From this, Yuan Shan obtained another order for 600 sets of pulley bearings, with a total price of 3000 taels of gold. This was only ordered by the caravan of the chamber of commerce. The pulley bearings individually customized by some wealthy households reached more than [-] taels of gold.

This is only part of the proceeds from the development. In short, everyone is "digging for gold" and Yuan Shan is selling them "water" to drink. Then Yuan Shan finds that his money is getting more and more.

Chapter 158 Amnesty

"On this hot day, it's really refreshing to have a sip of iced sour plum soup." Yuan Shan enjoyed it, while Qin Si at the side fanned him with a fan.

"Lan'er, you don't need to wear high heels when dancing, you will sprain your feet." Then I saw Lan Lan really fell down.

"Woooo, it hurts so much, the young master blames you." Lan Lan cried while crying.

Seeing that the sprain might be serious, Yuan Shan immediately got up and went over. He kicked one of the slippers away with a anxious kick as soon as he stood up, and ran over with one bare foot.

"It's all swollen, don't move, let me take a look." Yuan Shan touched it lightly and carefully, and then heard Lan Lan screaming, just like stepping on the tail of a mouse.

"It's a bit serious, at least three months." Yuan Shan said and carried Lan Lan back to the room on the left side of the courtyard.

At this moment, Lan Lan only knew that she was in pain, and then Lan Lan stayed in the room all day, and then one foot was put on a brace, and the other three women took turns to take care of her.
