Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

In the hearts of Zheng Xiu and Zhang Jing, a storm had already set off.

From entering Youzhou to the present, almost everything that surprised them was related to His Royal Highness the King of Chu. How magical is this His Royal Highness!

As the passerby said, all the changes in Youzhou stemmed from His Royal Highness the King of Chu!

"Actually, just one person has changed the entire Youzhou!"

Zhang Jing was shocked and said to himself, Xiao Liang has continued to speak.

"Of course, His Royal Highness the King of Chu rarely manages affairs on weekdays. Basically, it is handed over to the Li's Chamber of Commerce. All members who join the Li's Chamber of Commerce must obey the management of the Chamber of Commerce, but the corresponding benefits are also very many."

"Of course, His Royal Highness the King of Chu rarely manages affairs on weekdays. Basically, it is handed over to the Li's Chamber of Commerce. All members who join the Li's Chamber of Commerce must obey the management of the Chamber of Commerce, but the corresponding benefits are also very many."

"But what is the use of this Li's Chamber of Commerce?" Zheng Xiu asked, "It seems useless to gather so many businessmen from different industries together, and it must be managed by the Chamber of Commerce for no reason, isn't it? less free?"

"No, no, you're still too superficial."

Xiaoliang shook his finger at him, which made Zheng Xiu's self-esteem a little frustrated. He is a successful businessman after all, and it is too superficial to be despised here!

However, what Xiao Liang said next made him completely put away this idea.

"The benefits of joining the Li's Chamber of Commerce are many, and a lot of people are trying to come in. This is why the Li's Chamber of Commerce can develop so quickly in a short period of time."

Xiao Liang said: "The benefits, such as the naming rights of the theater, attracting investment and so on, will not be mentioned, but let's just talk about the biggest benefits for your non-local businessmen - that is resources and contacts!"

Zheng Xiu and Zhang Jing were immediately stunned. The resources and connections sounded very vague.

"What's the meaning of this statement?"

Xiaoliang explained: "The Li's Chamber of Commerce regularly holds member gatherings, so at the gatherings, do you have more opportunities to meet big people who are rarely seen? Many businessmen at the same level are probably not in your daily life. When you come into contact with it, it will become a huge network over time!"

"As for resources, it's even simpler. For example, if you just entered Youzhou, you have nothing but want to start a business, so where to find land? Where to find workers? Where to find factories? Where to find raw materials? Where can I find a craftsman? These difficult things can be solved through the Li's Chamber of Commerce!"

It is precisely because the Li's Chamber of Commerce gathers different businessmen from all walks of life that it is possible to achieve a great exchange of resources and information, and to allow business intelligence to circulate at a speed far exceeding this era!

"That's true!" Zheng 570 Xiu quickly figured it out, and couldn't help but feel a shock, "In this way, it means that even if you come from other places, you will have a foundation in Youzhou, because the corresponding people Just look inside the chamber of commerce!"

"Not only that, many business opportunities can be grasped by communicating with people from different industries, and it can also allow us businessmen from other places to gain a firm foothold and establish relationships in the shortest possible time. I can't say enough!"

This brand-new mode seems to have opened a new door in front of the two of them, and a new world that has never been seen before leaps in front of them!

Zheng Xiu and Zhang Jing can now even say that the most suitable place for business in the entire Tang Dynasty is Youzhou!Even Chang'an can't compare here!

Youzhou can be called a businessman's paradise!

"I want to join! I also want to rent a shop! Please explain in more detail!"

……

After spending a whole day, Zheng Xiu and Zhang Jing not only joined the Li's Chamber of Commerce, but also applied for the lease of the shop, and they were able to purchase a large quantity of goods perfectly.

They've never tried to solve everything so efficiently out of town... no, not even in their hometown!

Chapter 280 You want to hurt me? !

Such excitement continued until they reached the border of Youzhou.

Zheng Xiu and Zhang Jing's faces turned pale as they watched the carriages lined up one by one and inspected by the heavily guarded officers and soldiers.

"Oops, I didn't expect this episode!"

All of a sudden, the scene in front of them was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing their excitement.

The two immediately thought that when they did business in Youzhou, they had to pay taxes to the Youzhou government!

In fact, this is nothing, but according to their experience, the government will definitely deduct by various means, because this is their source of income, not only the government asks for money, but also the officers and soldiers under them - of course, also take the opportunity to make money.

On this poor basis, the government of each state also has a customary preferential treatment policy, that is, it will be more generous to businessmen in its own state, and even the official tax is less than that of businessmen from other places. a lot of.

This is the best manifestation of the human society of the Great Celestial Dynasty. With this level of fellowship, the local government will take care of a lot, but the businessmen from other places are not so good, and everyone is severely exploited!

"I should have thought about it!" Zhang Jing said with pale lips, "Why does the Youzhou government give so many conveniences and discounts to businessmen from other places? This is simply raising pigs!"

Let the non-local businessmen make more money and fatten up like cattle and sheep, so that the government can exploit a wave of cruelty!

"When we entered Youzhou, we didn't encounter any checkpoints to guard, but now we come to the Youzhou government as soon as we go out. This is destined to target us fat sheep who have bought in!"

Zheng Xiu's body also swayed, and he suddenly felt that all the favorable policies he had just felt had turned into a terrible trap.

The quantity and quality of the purchases can clearly indicate whether the merchant is fat enough or not, so it is extremely sinister to set up a checkpoint to collect taxes at this time!

Both of them lined up tremblingly, and they couldn't choose to run away, and they didn't say whether they could run away. Just don't think about continuing to do business in Youzhou after running away.

Soon, it was Zheng Xiu and Zhang Jing's turn.

"Get off the car and check your cargo for contraband."

An officer and soldier came over, and Zheng Xiu handed the money bag he had prepared earlier from his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Master, it's not easy for us to come all the way to do business. Are we on a horse?"

There is a lot of money in this purse, at least it makes Zheng Xiu and Zhang Jing very painful, but if this can avoid even greater losses, then they are also very happy.

Zheng Xiu originally thought that the officer and soldier would accept the "offering" with a smile, but the truth was completely the opposite.

"You want to hurt me!?"

The officer slammed the purse to the ground, took a step back with a look of vigilance, and said loudly: "You can see it clearly! I have nothing!"

"..."
