Chapter 108 Datang Chamber of Commerce

After the New Year, the flock of merchants from all over the country made Chang'an City unprecedentedly noisy. The streets and alleys were filled with merchants coming from other places, including all kinds of dialects, clothing, and skin colors.

Not only Chang'an, but also Jingyang County, which is closer to Tingyu Pavilion, is also gathering merchants. However, Jingyang County has been living in the shadow of Chang'an over the years, and the business of restaurants and inns is not as numerous as Chang'an, otherwise more people would probably be gathered.

In order to operate the arena and dock, Wang also issued three announcements to the Tang Dynasty.

The first one is the Tang Dynasty hero list, which is designed to be used specifically for the arena, and it is just a topic.

The second one is a talent reward, which is a high reward to gather talented people from the Tang Dynasty and elites from all industries. Yes, Wang Ye’s ambition is not only to recruit powerful martial arts goosemen, but also plans to use high salaries to attract some down-and-out technical talents.

The third one is more interesting. The Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce is specifically targeting the lowest merchants among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Wang also specially sent information on joining the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce. The purpose is to use the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce to cover the products of Tingyu Pavilion throughout the Tang Dynasty and surrounding small countries.

It is also because of this announcement that some merchants who were oppressed by aristocratic families in small and medium-sized prefectures and counties saw hope, but it was nothing more, just because Wang also clearly stipulated in the announcement that all Tingyuge products will be divided into agents according to prefectures and counties, and agents are not allowed to fight each other, otherwise the agency rights will be directly cancelled.

Who is the king? Today's prince-consort, those noble families, rely on his soap and perfume workshop to make money to support their families. Now, the king has also established the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce to provide guarantees for some merchants without power and status, and immediately attracted a large number of civilian merchants to surrender.

Jingyang Restaurant.

"Brother Yu, what do you mean by this chamber of commerce? Why can't I understand it?" A middle-aged man in his early thirties asked a friend next to him in confusion with an announcement.

The man looked at the announcement and said speechlessly: "Isn't it written clearly above? You can get shelter from the Chamber of Commerce by joining the Chamber of Commerce, and only by joining the Chamber of Commerce can you be able to represent the Chamber of Commerce's products, such as the Wang family's soap, perfume, newly emerging cement, farm, and glass and mirrors that will be mass-produced in a while are all within the agency scope of the Chamber of Commerce."

The man nodded when he heard this, but asked with a worried look: "You said we are far away in Qizhou. If the Wang family ignored the regulations of the Chamber of Commerce, they should have done their business in Qizhou. Will the Lord of Wang really dare to offend the Wang family for us?"

The middle-aged man named Yu was stunned when he heard this and frowned: "It's really hard to say, but since there are seals from Tiance Mansion, General Qin and General Cheng in the announcement, I guess I won't lie to us ordinary people."

At this time, the people at the table next to him also sighed: "Oh, you two have traveled thousands of miles to join the Tang Chamber of Commerce? Next week, people from Yizhou are also worried that the royal city lord is afraid of offending the noble family and dare not protect us."

The three of them looked at each other, and the other table said with a smile: "Three people are over-concerned. Do you know what the status of the King of the City Lord is now? Not to mention the Wang family, even if the Prince Prince wants to get a share of the cement workshop, the King of the City Lord will agree, hahaha."

Seeing everyone talking about Wang Ye, the waiter hurriedly stood up and said proudly: "You three are outsiders at first sight. I'm afraid you don't know the status of the lord of the city in the hearts of our people in Jingyang County. He is a person who can eat with the saints. I saw the saints go to the Tingyu Pavilion to attend the evening party with their own eyes..."

The waiter said this immediately attracted many merchants from other places. Many local diners smiled slightly when they saw this. I don’t know how many times this scene will happen in a day. They are used to it, but they can’t help but listen while drinking.

Chuanxianju in Chang'an.

Among the five surnames and seven Wangs, except for the Li family in Longxi, Li family in Zhaojun, Cui family in Boling, Cui family in Qinghe, Lu family in Fanyang, Zheng family in Xingyang, and Wang family in Taiyuan, the heads of the six families gathered together.

As the call for this meeting, Cui Xian naturally took the lead. His eldest son Cui Yiye looked at the old antiques in the hall and could only stand behind Cui Xian obediently to serve.

"Tell me, boy Cui, what's wrong with calling us six old antiques to the capital?" The head of the Wang family, Mr. Li Ling, was getting stronger and said the first.

The other four were old men, and at this time they all turned their heads and looked at the middle-aged uncle Cui Xian in confusion.

Seeing this, Cui Xian first stood up and bowed, then sat down before speaking: "The uncles and uncles here are all my elders. If they were not serious, Cui Xian would never have been bothering you to practice cultivation."

After saying that, Cui Xian raised his eyes and looked at Wang Yanran behind Li Ling, and then said, "I believe that all the uncles and uncles know that the royal city lord had inexplicably set up a Tang Chamber of Commerce, and even pulled the King of Qin and several generals to invest together?"

Lu Xingzhi, the head of the Lu family in Fanyang, said with a smile: "I heard from my good grandson mention it a few times, which is a good note." Lu Xingzhi's grandson was Lu Fei who admired Cui Ying'er.

When Cui Xian saw Lu Xingzhi speak, he continued, "The number of merchants coming to Chang'an in recent days is increasing. Even the guests living in Zuixian are mostly foreign merchants, which makes me very worried!"

"Oh? I don't know why my nephew is worried? Is it related to asking us to come today?" the other three asked in confusion.

Cui Xian nodded and said, "Everyone has all represented soaps and perfumes at home. I believe he also knows the benefits brought by these two products?"

"Yeah, not bad!" the old antiques nodded.

"Do you know that the lord of the royal city is now planning to distribute small and medium-sized prefectures and counties that we do not have? "

Zheng Kai, the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, said: "Of course I know that we are traveling thousands of miles to Chang'an this time, just to participate in the hawking sale?"

The others nodded when they heard this, looking at Cui Xian in confusion.

A trace of speech flashed in Cui Xian's eyes, and then said, "Since all uncles know, aren't you in a hurry?"

At this time, Wang Yanran, who was standing in the back row, knew it in his heart and secretly pointed out the back of his grandfather Wang Bo. Wang Bo and his granddaughter had a tacit understanding and knew some of the deals between Wang Yanran and Wang Ye. He smiled and said, "We all know the meaning of the old antiques, but the nephew is afraid that he is too worried. Since the agency rights are openly sold, we will participate in accordance with the rules. It is nothing more than to prepare more money, not to be involved in the matter, haha."

Cui Xian naturally saw Wang Yanran's small moves. If his daughter Cui Yinger had a high IQ, then Wang Yanran had a high EQ and was indeed a good material for doing business. She just regretted that she was not from her family. She took out a leaflet and threw it on the table with helplessness, saying, "This is a notice circulated from Tingyu Pavilion this morning. It clearly stated that all merchants can only participate in the hawking of five prefectures and counties. Once they represent five prefectures and counties, they can no longer continue to bet."

Lu Xingzhi was shocked when he heard this, took the leaflet and said worriedly: "What about the prefectures and counties we used to represent? How to calculate it?"

Cui Xian also looked worried, but Wang Yanran behind Wang Bo explained: "Grandpa Lu doesn't have to worry. The Lord of Wang City has promised Yanran that the previous contract will be executed as usual."

Everyone was relieved when they heard this, but Cui Xian's words immediately made them angry again.

"Haha, I'm afraid Nephew Wang said less! Our families have put a lot of effort into developing small and medium-sized prefectures and counties before. Now that the cost has not been recovered, they have to take it out and sell it. So what do we say about our losses? You know, everyone's agent share is more than five prefectures and counties, and they can no longer participate in the hawking."

After Cui Xian finished speaking, he looked straight at Wang Yanran. Everyone looked up, which made Wang Yanran sweat. But after all, he was a beautiful daughter trained by a large family. With his grandfather Wang Bo, he gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Cui is exaggerating, but he just can't sell the goods from the Tang Chamber of Commerce. Don't your grain stores, restaurants, and jewelry stores also need manpower?"

"Uh!!!" Cui Xian was so angry that he couldn't say that the products of the Tang Chamber of Commerce were more profitable!

In fact, everyone here knows that Wang Yezhi can get all the respects from Li Yuan, and his ability to make money is the first to be the result. Now a Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce will bring tens of millions of yuan in profits to the king. Who can not be jealous?

In addition, in order to lay out the market for soap and perfume, we bought some shops in small and medium-sized prefectures and counties before, but to be honest, the investment is not large, and we have basically made a profit. But now we have to take out this piece of candy again, who is willing to do so?

Lu Xingzhi also knew that Wang Yanran was getting close to Wang Ye and there were some cooperation they didn't know. Seeing Cui Xian had nothing to say, he had to speak, "Everyone, everything has been in our pockets, and no one wants to take it out."

"Yes, although the flies are small, they are also meat." The other people nodded repeatedly.

Lu Xingzhi continued: "Since the Tang Chamber of Commerce is guaranteed by the King of Qin, then we will send a representative to put some pressure on them."

"That's right, it's a good idea. The King of Qin always wants to give us some face to some families."

"Just how to say it? Who will say it?"
