The strongest Marquis in history

In fact, for most people in Xianbei, they don't pay much attention to the concept of family and country, but they value interests most.For example, in Qi State and even in the former Great Zhou Dynasty, the influence of Confucianism has created scholars and common people in the world. With the concept of family and country, their thinking has become different.

But in Xianbei, there is no such thinking, and more thinking is that Xianbei people think that they can't survive, so they have to go south to plunder and find ways to make a living.

If Liaozhou develops, and most of the Xianbei people live a good life and gradually no longer be trapped by money and vitality, then they will naturally return to Qi State and become a part of Qi State.

The warehouse knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing know the honor and disgrace!

It is impossible for most people to talk about etiquette, honor and disgrace regardless of basic life.

Must have the most basic life.

No longer hungry, no longer suffering from hunger and cold, then you will be enlightened slowly.

When Wang Qi was thinking, he was outside the camp. There was a sound of footsteps, and it was Shang Qingqiu who entered the tent. Long live Long live Long live."

He had arrived at Danhan Mountain with Nie Feng before, and when Wang Qi arrived, he was received and praised by Wang Qi.

Since then, Shang Qingqiu has been here in Liucheng.

It is mainly involved in the construction of Liucheng and other commercial aspects. After all, Liucheng is going to be established now, and there are too many aspects involved. It is precisely because he is a businessman that he can find business opportunities.

So Shang Qingqiu has always stayed.

Chapter 860 Chamber of Commerce

Wang Qi said: "Shang Qingqiu, how many years have you been in business?"

Shang Qingqiu was excited, he was a businessman who traveled between Xianbei and Youzhou, but now he was summoned by Wang Qi and talked to Wang Qi, his heart was extremely excited.

He solemnly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have been in business for about 30 years. I started to run a business when I was ten years old. At the beginning, I followed the master and was just a young apprentice. Slowly, I started to start my own business."

"It's only now that we have some foundation. This is still dependent on Your Majesty. A few years ago, Xianbei was conquered. Our merchants from Youzhou went north. Once they entered Xianbei to do business, it went very smoothly. What harsh treatment."

"Even, as long as we bring the goods, we can make money. In the past two or three years, we have made a lot of money. In fact, a few years ago, earlier, when we came here to do business with Xianbei people, we were a little careless. , and may even cause you to fall into it, and it is more likely to be life-threatening.”

"At that time, if the Xianbei people were unhappy, they would kill the businessman. They have gotten better in recent years."

When it comes to doing business in the past, Shang Qingqiu is very emotional.

It's a good day, and it hasn't been a few years.

Until now, it can be regarded as really living a good life.

Wang Qi nodded and said, "I heard from Nie Feng and Lin Yuze that you are very talented in business. Especially you have handled Xianbei's connections well."

Shang Qingqiu said: "Your Majesty, this is a compliment from General Nie Feng and Lord Lin Yuze, and it cannot be taken seriously. Although the villain is in business, he only pays attention to making money with harmony, and does not think more about it. Sometimes, if you earn less money, you will get less money." Earn a little and maintain your connections, which is always useful.”

Wang Qidao: "I came to you today because there is one thing I want to entrust to you to do, are you willing?"

Shang Qingqiu said: "The grass people will go through fire and water, and they will do whatever they want."

Wang Qidao: "You don't even ask first, then ask what's the matter?"

Shang Qingqiu shook his head, and said: "The Caomin believe in His Majesty, and His Majesty is a holy king since ancient times, and he will not harm the Caomin."

Wang Qi said: "Zhen, how did you become a holy king?"

There was a gleam of reverence in Shang Qingqiu's eyes, and he solemnly said: "Since ancient times, the common people have been prone to starvation. It is His Majesty who introduced sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and other grains so that the common people can eat more. There are more options to choose from.”

"No matter what, being able to eat enough food is something that I dare not even think about in the past dynasties. This thing alone is the Buddha of thousands of families. Those of us who are in business have made some money through these foods. After all, You can do business with the Xianbei people in the north."

"In addition, Caomin heard from scholars that the officials of the past dynasties were all recommended by their connections, unlike now, where there are imperial examinations every year, and they can rely on their own abilities to become officials."

"Take us businessmen as an example. Our status is humble. In the past, it was impossible for future generations to become officials. But now, you can take the imperial examination by studying. This is Your Majesty's kindness."

"Your Majesty is not a holy king, who can be a holy king?"

In the whole country of Qi, all the people have their hearts on the side of Qi country.

This is the heart of Qi.

It is also the result of Wang Qi's management for many years.

Wang Qi smiled lightly, and immediately said: "Okay, let's get down to business, I invite you here now, because I hope you can use your network resources to integrate all Xianbei merchants to form a cohesive chamber of commerce."

Shang Qingqiu said: "Your Majesty formed the Chamber of Commerce, what are you going to do?"

Wang Qidao: "First, it is also an opportunity for more businessmen to do business. For businessmen who have come to Liaozhou many times to do business, if they are familiar with the situation, it will be smooth. However, some businessmen who do not understand the situation are easy to run into a wall when they first arrive. , Therefore, the chamber of commerce headed by you must accept the other party and give help to the other party, so as to make Liaozhou's business develop."

"Second, it is to protect the stability of prices in Liaozhou. Merchants seek profits, which has existed since ancient times. However, merchants make money, and I also hope that gentlemen love money and get it in a proper way, and they will consider the lives of the people instead of hoarding , not wanton price gouging."

"I don't hope that when businessmen come to Liaozhou to do business, they are exploiting resources and making the local area a mess. Therefore, when it comes to businessmen, you, as a businessman, should set an example and set certain standards."

"For example, the standard prices of various materials should at least be within a reasonable range, instead of raising prices at will and hoarding food."

"In short, fairness must be ensured."

"Liaozhou was established at the beginning, and everything is still developing. At this time, a lot of materials will be needed. At this time, it is time for you businessmen to show their talents. This also requires you to be conscientious businessmen. I don't want to do business. The result is that the government intervenes to catch these matters."

"Shang Qingqiu, do you understand?"

Wang Qi looked at Shang Qingqiu with hope in his eyes.

He knew Shang Qingqiu's disposition, he was a persistent businessman with a bottom line, he was regarded as a Confucian businessman.That's why, this time, Wang Qicai asked Shang Qingqiu to take the lead.

After Shang Qingqiu heard this, he was a little excited, and he promised: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will promise to complete the task. This time, nothing will go wrong."

"For the construction of Liaozhou this time, I will organize businessmen to help the local people with maximum discounts."

"Now the Xianbei people are also our Qi people. Helping the Xianbei people is also helping us. Moreover, we have established a friendship, and we businessmen have a real foundation in doing business in Liaozhou."

Shang Qingqiu has a thousand wishes for the chamber of commerce.

This is a matter of great benefit and no harm.

It is also an increase in his personal influence, after all, this is backed by the emperor.

Wang Qi nodded and said: "It's good if you understand this. In a word, do things well. As long as the commercial system here in Liaozhou is established and the business is running well, then I promise to call you into the court as an official and be responsible For business matters in various places, at that time, chambers of commerce will be formed nationwide."

Shang Qingqiu's body shook.

When looking at Wang Qi, a pair of eyes revealed an expression of disbelief.

He was extremely astonished.

Unexpectedly, Wang Qi would give such treatment, this is his great opportunity.A person like Shang Qingqiu, who has studied but has no family background, is just an ordinary businessman.

That's how he was all his life.

After all, I am old.

But now Wang Qi's words made him soar into the sky.

thump!

Shang Qingqiu knelt down directly, and he shouted: "Your Majesty, Caomin will definitely complete the establishment of Liaozhou's commercial system. This matter will never disappoint His Majesty's trust. If Caomin fails to complete the task, please come and see me."

Seeing Shang Qingqiu's excited appearance, Wang Qi waved his hands and said, "Get up, I look forward to your performance."

"Caomin retire."

Shang Qingqiu stood up, then retreated respectfully.

After Shang Qingqiu walked out of the camp, he walked a long distance away. At this moment, he finally couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, he became excited all of a sudden, and couldn't help but let out a long roar.

The excitement in my heart gradually calmed down amidst the shouts.

Shang Qingqiu also gradually regained his composure, and he went straight to his tent.After all, in Xianbei today, there are no houses, only tents.After he returned, he did not immediately summon the merchants who were doing business here on Danhan Mountain.

After all, there are still many things in his mind that he hasn't considered clearly.

Shang Qingqiu had to make sure that he could understand everything in order to be stable.

Otherwise, the situation is not easy to handle.

Shang Qingqiu thought about it carefully, and it took him half an hour to have a clear idea in his mind, and then Shang Qingqiu ordered: "Come here."

A servant entered and bowed to salute. Shang Qingqiu directly ordered people to notify all the merchants he knew.

This is an invitation to all to come and discuss.

After Shang Qingqiu stabilized his mind, he calmed down completely and waited quietly.Time passed little by little, and it was almost evening. Because it was getting late, Shang Qingqiu specially arranged for someone to prepare the wine and meat for the evening. Then, when someone came, they could drink and talk about things while eating meat.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and people began to enter one after another.

The first person to come was Zhao Changfeng, who specialized in the grain business, selling grain from Youzhou to Xianbei, and then earning money and skins.

Zhao Changfeng's age is nearly 50 years old, quite old, but he is lean and thin, very shrewd.After saluting to Shang Qingqiu, he sat down and said, "Master Shang, you have invited me here this time, but what's the matter?"

Among all businessmen, Shang Qingqiu's words still carry some weight.

The reason is simple, Shang Qingqiu has some say in the officialdom, at least he knows Nie Feng, Lin Yuze and others.

Shang Qingqiu said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhao, don't worry, I will tell you naturally when everyone is here. The next thing is very critical and important, and it is related to all the people in Liaozhou doing business. , Therefore, we have to wait for everyone to arrive, please forgive me, shopkeeper Zhao."

Zhao Changfeng stroked his beard under his jaw, looking thoughtful.

One after another, another person came.

It was just one person who came, and when he sat down, he habitually inquired about Shang Qingqiu's intention of inviting them to come.Shang Qingqiu refused one by one. In short, what he has to do now is to wait for everyone to arrive.

As night fell, the weather in late July, at night, there was a little more cool breeze on the grassland.

At least, without the heat at the end of June.

Shang Qingqiu looked around and found that almost everyone was there.Shang Qingqiu coughed twice, and said with a smile: "All shopkeepers are my friends of Shang Qingqiu. If you are willing to come, it is to give me Shang Qingqiu face and let you wait. Not much to say, my Shang Qingqiu Qiu, do it first and respect it, everyone, please!"

Shang Qingqiu picked up the wine bottle and drank a glass of wine.

Everyone returned the toast, but everyone was curious in their hearts, what on earth was Shang Qingqiu going to say?

What's the matter?

While everyone was pondering, Shang Qingqiu put down the wine bottle in his hand, and said: "Everyone estimates that many people are hungry. So now, you can eat as much as you want, don't worry about it, and I will just say a little bit." matter."

Everyone pricked up their ears, looking forward to it.

Chapter 861 Supporting places

Shang Qingqiu said: "Big brothers and brothers, you have all helped me more or less in the past, and they all have some friendship. Now, I have an errand, and I need the help of all shopkeepers. Of course, this is also mutual benefit. It is also beneficial to you. If there is no effect, I don't have the face to invite you to discuss."

Although Zhao Changfeng has been in business for many years, he is a bit impatient. Seeing that Shang Qingqiu didn't get to the point, he hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper Shang, stop talking nonsense. What exactly are you going to say, what do you want to say? Just say it. You are always hesitating and hiding things like this, everyone is in a hurry!"

The rest of the people joined in one by one.

"Yes, yes, shopkeeper, please don't be a fool."

"There are so many of us who do business together. Everyone knows the basics and their own temperament. So, don't lay the groundwork first, just say it."

"Shopkeeper, could it be that the government is looking for you?"

Accompanied by the rush of words, the camp suddenly became lively, and many people were curious.

With a smile on Shang Qingqiu's face, he raised his hand and pressed down, and the surrounding became quiet all of a sudden, and everyone held their breath.Shang Qingqiu said slowly: "Everyone, I invite you to come to discuss matters related to the Qi State. Just before, His Majesty the Emperor personally summoned me to have an audience. I met His Majesty the Emperor, and I..."

Having said that, the discussion started in the tent.

Everyone got excited.

Very shocked.

Very surprised.

No one expected that it was the emperor who summoned Shang Qingqiu.So much so that the voices of discussion one after another made Shang Qingqiu unable to continue talking.

Zhao Changfeng couldn't stand it anymore, so he scolded, and then looked over with a pair of eyes, looking forward to it.

Everyone, excited.

Shang Qingqiu looked around at the crowd, and in his heart, the mentality that a man should be like this, and a man should be in power, was suddenly a feeling in his heart.

Among these businessmen, he has some appeal because of his experience, ability, and righteousness.However, there has never been a situation like this, which makes people look forward to it.

This is the benefit of power.

Shang Qingqiu said: "Everyone, I have now been entrusted by Your Majesty to take the lead to integrate all the merchants in Liaozhou to form a chamber of commerce. The purpose of this chamber of commerce is to maintain stability in the market and to prohibit malicious Raising prices hurts local people and businessmen."

"In short, everything is for a virtuous circle. At the same time, if more businessmen want to enter Liaozhou to do business, we must make arrangements to avoid detours. Even after I thought about this matter carefully, there are still One problem, that is, the businessmen who are doing business in Liaozhou today include those of us and others."

"Actually, this is still somewhat insufficient. So we still have one thing to do, which is to attract businessmen and invite more businessmen to come to Liaozhou. Because Liaozhou's future development will inevitably require countless businessmen."
