The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

After all, everyone has the same worry, after all, it is related to their own pockets.

Within a few days, Dongyang gathered big businessmen from all over the world, including the Qiao family in Lujiang County, the Mi family in Guangling County, the Lu family in Wu County, the Gu family in Wu County, the Zhu family in Wu County, and the Zhang family in Wu County.

Among them, they are also representatives of the gentry, and their status as merchants is more like a side job.

Liu Ke has thoroughly investigated their backgrounds, especially the four families of Wu County, whose representatives are also awesome in the Three Kingdoms.

For example, the representatives of the Lu family include Lu Xun, the representative of the Gu family, Gu Yong, the representative of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhao, and the representative of the Zhu family, Zhu Huan.

Of course, there are also some pure business representatives, but they don't do much business.As for the reason, of course there is no background.

What Liu Ke has to do is to manage them together.

"Greetings to Marquis Dongyang!" Everyone saluted Liu Xing.

Liu Ke waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

Everyone was on pins and needles, and even the Mi family who was closest to them didn't get any news.

At this meeting, Liu Ke did not disclose the news in advance.

The representative of the Mi family wanted to know everything with his ass, no matter what happened, he just nodded and agreed.

But the four families in Wujun were a little panicked, and the Zhang family was a little better, because someone was an official.The remaining three families are not obedient to discipline.

Liu Ke often asked Lu Su to recruit talented people from Yangzhou, but Wu Jun just kept his family's children in his hands and couldn't beat them to death.

After all, Liu Ke's relationship with the aristocratic family is not good, and there is even some hostility.

If the common people want to develop, it will definitely touch the interests of the aristocratic family.

Liu Ke is so powerful that they are powerless to resist.Therefore, the aristocratic family can only resist silently by refusing to be an official.

Liu Ke didn't have time to deal with them. Now, he was going to make a try.

That is to liberate the family from the land and develop business.

As long as you follow Liu Ke's plan, that's hello, hello, hello, everyone.

"I have a general idea for calling everyone here this time, and that is to set up the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce to manage a wide range of businesses." Liu Ke said.

Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce?

Everyone was shocked, is this going to put shackles on their heads?

This is the keenness of the businessman in the first place.

"In order to prevent malicious competition from everyone, relevant regulations must be made." Liu Ke said.

really.

But no one dared to express any objection, because Liu Ke announced it himself.

The merchants whispered to each other and seemed unwilling to obey.

Liu Ke also knew this, so he still wanted to give them some sweetness.

"Of course, this is also a distribution of benefits."

It was a matter of their own life and death, and everyone listened with pricked ears.

"The government will not intervene in the management of the chamber of commerce. All matters will be decided by the seven representatives of the chamber of commerce." Liu Ke said.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they don't mess around, everyone can talk.

"Let's put aside the trade within the state first. I would like to make a statement here. Foreign trade can only be done by members of the chamber of commerce." Liu Ke said.

This trick is called monopoly.

Businessmen seek profits, and if they want to grow bigger, they must develop overseas.

What's more, the current trading environment is very good, how good is it?

For example, once they wanted to go to Jizhou for trade, layers of taxes greatly increased the cost of goods, and the price had to be multiplied several times in order to recoup the cost.

Now, the business tax in Jizhou has been cancelled!

Because this is an agreement between the two state pastors, no one will break it.

In other words, as long as Yangzhou merchants have paid taxes in Yangzhou, they do not have to pay taxes to Jizhou.

In such a general environment, businessmen made a lot of money.The aristocratic family behind them happily followed Liu Ke to eat meat, but the appearance of eating was too ugly.

How to put it, for example, a piece of silk cloth originally sold for 10 gold, but after the tax reduction, everyone can earn 8 gold, so if you sell cloth, I also sell cloth, and the price drops directly to 5 gold.

Is this still dumping?

This is cheating one's own people!

Therefore, the establishment of chambers of commerce is imperative, allowing merchants to supervise themselves.After they are ripe, the government will come to pick the peaches again.

In a word, foreign trade can only be a member of the chamber of commerce, so that major businesses can only squeeze the single-plank bridge.

Those who join the chamber of commerce still earn money, but those who refuse have nothing to lose.

"Dongyanghou, our Qiao family will participate!" The Qiao family was the first to express their opinion.

The Qiao family is a rich man in Lujiang County. Liu Ke didn't pay much attention to it, but Liu Ke still nodded to be the first to express his opinion.
