Parents are busy farming

Pang Chao said at the right time: "That is, all merchants can join. As long as they have commercial activities in the county, the caravan has the obligation to help them."

Ye Zifen nodded, "It's too early for us to say anything now. Let's wait until we get to the county government and tell Magistrate Su our thoughts!"

Pang Chao nodded and stopped talking.

After the two arrived at the county seat, they went straight to the county government office.

There may be something as big as a drought in the county, and several important officials in the county government have already received the news.

They didn't believe it, but they still looked at the county records and found that there was indeed such a pattern.

This matter would be related to their career, and people began to panic.

Although they have come up with an idea, no one can guarantee that this idea will be effective.

When Ye Zifen and Pang Chao arrived, several important officials from the county government had already arrived.

Everyone gathered in the room where Magistrate Su had his office. They were all sitting on chairs, frowning.

Zi Zifen said straight to the point: "Yesterday I went back and discussed with Pang Chao. I felt that just communicating with a few grain merchants would not be that powerful, so we want to build a chamber of commerce."

Magistrate Su raised his eyes to look at her and asked, "Chamber of Commerce? What kind of chamber of commerce?"

Ye Zifen explained: "This chamber of commerce allows all local businessmen with business activities to join. The legal rights and interests of all merchants who join the chamber of commerce will be protected by the chamber of commerce. If any problems arise, the chamber of commerce will come forward to negotiate with the Yamen."

At this time, an official suddenly stood up and said: "Then if such a chamber of commerce is organized, will the yamen have to compromise with the chamber of commerce on certain matters?"

Ye Zifen hated this kind of behavior of being interrupted by others before she could finish her words.

Her brows wrinkled unconsciously, and she looked at the person who stood up because of some excitement.

Ye Zifen's attitude became serious and said coldly: "What I said is that the chamber of commerce will guarantee the legitimate rights and interests of merchants. Don't you understand what legitimate rights and interests are? Even if there is no chamber of commerce, the government should protect the legitimate rights and interests of everyone, right? !”

Magistrate Su saw that Ye Zifen was angry and felt that this official was too rude. Then he shouted: "Master Xiao, sit down and listen to Miss Ye finish what she has to say!"

The official also felt the county magistrate's displeasure, so he sat back angrily and returned to his seat.

Liu Dianshi raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Mr. Xiao, with an intriguing smile in his eyes.

Master Liu smiled slightly and said to Ye Zifen: "Keep going, girl."

There are always one or two daredevils in the county government. Because their ancestors were officials in the county government, they feel superior to others.

Sometimes he would even touch Magistrate Su's beard. During this period, someone would always step in to mediate the relationship between them.

It turns out that when Zhang Huaiyu was around, these people were honest.

After Zhang Huaiyu left, they didn't know the heights of the world.

Especially when Liu Dianshi took over Zhang Huaiyu's position, they felt somewhat unhappy.

Therefore, there always needs to be someone in the middle to reconcile the situation, and now this person naturally became Master Liu.

Ye Zifen didn’t want to waste everyone’s time just because of one person.

So he continued: "The establishment of the Chamber of Commerce is not only to guarantee the legitimate rights and interests of merchants, but also to manage them in disguise. If there are any violations of the regulations such as cheating, abduction, forced buying and selling, they will naturally be expelled from the Chamber of Commerce. In addition, if you want to join the Chamber of Commerce, you must get Just pay part of the money.”

Hearing this, Magistrate Su already knew the purpose of Ye Zifen and the others.

In fact, in the final analysis, Ye Zifen just wanted to use a legitimate reason to raise some money from businessmen without letting those businessmen have any objections.

It is very rare to come up with this method in such a short time.

Magistrate Su asked: "It is possible to establish a chamber of commerce. What do you need the Yamen to help you with?"

Ye Zifen looked at Pang Chao, and the next step was his main battlefield.

Master Liu naturally saw the eye contact between Ye Zifen and his son-in-law.

He rolled his eyes and figured out Ye Zifen's intention.

This is the little girl giving her son-in-law a chance to stand out.

She sighed in her heart: 'No wonder my daughter always praises Ye Zifen for being smart and sensible every time she comes back since she got married. Now it seems that this little girl is really powerful. ’

Pang Chao was not afraid of the stage and said immediately: "I discussed it with Miss Ye yesterday. The following are the problems we need to solve immediately. The first is that the caravan needs a place closer to the Yamen as the headquarters of the chamber of commerce."

Liu Dianshi smiled and asked, "Why do you have to go close enough to the county government office?"

Pang Chao explained: "If the establishment of our chamber of commerce is close to the Yamen, it means that the chamber of commerce does have the support of the court. When something happens, the people in the chamber of commerce will have some confidence."

Liu Dianshi nodded to express his understanding.

Pang Chao continued: "In addition, we also hope that the Yamen will have someone to supervise the Chamber of Commerce. After all, the Chamber of Commerce requires money to enter. There is so much money, and the source of the money needs to have a clear direction."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xiao's eyes immediately lit up, "We should send someone to supervise your chamber of commerce."

When Ye Zifen heard this, a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.

Seeing that he was so shameless, Pang Chao continued: "We hope that the people sent by the Yamen will be truly upright and work for the benefit of the people. If we send someone who wants to embezzle money from the Chamber of Commerce, then the Chamber of Commerce has the right to send this person back."

Magistrate Su nodded and said: "Yes, but the people assigned to the county government are not fixed, but take turns to supervise them. Each person supervises them for one year. If someone is found to have made a mistake, the person who takes office in the second year can hold the first person accountable." If the person who took office last year embezzled money, I will report it to the court and remove him from office."

When Magistrate Su said this, he looked at all the people in the room. This was a naked warning.

Zi Zifen was afraid that officials would protect each other, so he immediately said: "Not only will the Yamen have someone to supervise the money of the Chamber of Commerce, but also the Chamber of Commerce will implement a rotation system to supervise it together."

After listening to Ye Zifen's words, County Magistrate Su put his hand to his mouth and smiled secretly.

After hearing what Ye Zifen said, Mr. Xiao glanced at them coldly and tightened the handle of the knife in his hand.

Director Liu said: "It's not certain whether your chamber of commerce can be established. It's too early to think about money now!"

Pang Chao quickly said respectfully: "As long as the Yamen gives us a reasonable location for the chamber of commerce, it will also give us a guarantee. Then we will call everyone to discuss this matter."

Everyone in the room looked at Magistrate Su.

Magistrate Su thought for a moment and said: "There are several houses immediately to the west of the Yamen gate. They used to be a place for the Yamen servants to rest. Now they are allocated for the Chamber of Commerce. Open a door on the outside and seal the door on the inside."

After all, the Chamber of Commerce does not belong to the yamen, so naturally it cannot open the door inside the yamen. Opening the door to the outside means that merchants can come in and out freely, and at the same time, it will not affect the affairs within the yamen.
