Chapter 1039 Competition

In fact, the Municipal Administration Order is from the Sixth Centre, and the head is from the Eighth Centre. However, in the future, the members of these groups will definitely be played by nobles. They must choose a person of importance to come forward. Gao Qingyun is actually a noble family and is related to Gao Luxing, but his reputation is not enough, so Zheng Shanxing is the most suitable candidate.

Xu Gui and Gao Qingyun had no objection, after all, the other party was a family of Zheng in Xingyang and had a reputation.

As for why Han Yi only registers a group, ordinary merchants do not need it, it is because it wants to stimulate the commodity economy. If the procedures are too complicated, it will reduce the enthusiasm of merchants, which is not conducive to the development of merchants. It would have been fine before. As for the group, such a big benefit is in it, the court should treat it especially especially.

After Han Yi gave instructions, he focused on the Northwest Project. For the country, the Northwest Project is much more important, and it can even be said to be the top priority of the national strategy.

A few days later, the Municipal Administration finally announced the official notice on the dock and transportation group.

The bidding method is adopted, but there is no bidding mechanism. The price has been stipulated. The price is 30,000 yuan for the dock. The court will also provide technical support. The transportation group requires 100,000 yuan for the start-up capital. Everyone is competing for plans to see who plans better.

Han Yi's purpose is very simple. He has to make the decision. If he bids, then the higher the price will be, and the court will not be able to make macro-control, which is equivalent to an auction.

This is not yet applicable to free competition, and the imperial court must regulate it.

But no one expected that the price would be so high, let alone 100,000 guan. How could this 30,000 guan be swallowed by one person? Even if you can swallow it, if you lose it, it would be bankrupt. Many people were discouraged and had never seen such a big deal, tens of thousands of guan.

It doesn't matter, the court has already figured out a solution for you.

It is a joint-stock group, how to form and operate it, and the notice is clearly written.

It is also strictly stipulated that anyone participating in the bidding cannot participate by individuals, but must participate by joint-stock groups.

It’s just that when bidding, just hand over a contract with several people jointly declared. There is no need to rush to register, but the winner must register.

This is also in line with reality. If you play alone, the investment will be too great and the risk will be great. If you become a group, the risks will be equally distributed. Moreover, the court has declared that it will gradually hand over the court's goods to these two transportation groups. How much goods the court transports from various places to Chang'an every year will definitely be beneficial and very large.

Many people who were scared by the price began to get moved again.

The nobles began to move around because they had to unite, but most of them set their sights on the docks, which were low in price and manufacturing, and had low risks. They were still very smart.

Zheng Family!

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late!"

But when Lu Shigua walked in with a free and beautiful skin on his back, he wiped his sweat.

Cui Jieren smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Lu, you are the head of the Lu family now. You should stop doing this coroner."

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern."

But that's all, obviously he doesn't want to pay attention to Cui Jieren. He is now devoted to his coroner career. The reason is that Zhang Ming's case hit him a lot, and he is very stubborn, and he must prove that he is right. But when he entered this school, he found that there is a lot of medical knowledge, because the doctor cannot explain it, but coroner can do this, which allows him to further understand the ergonomics, which has greatly improved his medicine. Now he rarely lives in Chang'an, and usually travels around the surrounding county towns. He runs wherever there is a murder case.

I stay with experienced coroners all day long and ask for advice humbly.

But coroner is a slutty thing, and Cui Jiren also has kindness. After all, the seven of them are getting worse and worse now, which is completely different from everyone's expectations before. Zheng Shanxing went to the Ministry of Revenue to be an eighth-rank official, Wang Xuandao also had to take the scientific examination, and his career was unclear. Cui Jiren is also an eighth-rank official. The best three are Changsun Yan, Dugu Wuyue and Yuan Liehu, but they have no real power. They have been staying in the training camp. He couldn't understand why the seven sons of Chang'an have such virtues. It can be seen that Lu Shi Gua is so perfunctory and he is not pleasant to him. Moreover, they will not interfere too much. As the same sentence, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, so he simply stopped.

Lu Shigua wiped his sweat and said, "Good deeds, why did you come to us?"

Zheng Shanxing coughed lightly and said, "Is it about the recent bidding of the imperial court?"

Lu Shigua said in a daze: "You don't plan to let us participate, are you?"

Zheng Shanxing nodded.

Wang Xuandao said with great interest: "I don't know if it's about the northwest, or the dock, and transportation?"

"It's about the transportation group." Zheng Shanxing said: "As far as I know, the Yuan family is already contacting the Guanzhong nobles and intends to take down one of the transportation groups. Should we join forces to take down the other?"

Lu Shigua was completely uninterested and said, "Although the Yuan family is a noble, they have been doing business all the time. This is not what we are good at, and it costs 100,000 yuan, so it's exempted, no more."

Cui Jieren was examining Zheng Shanxing.

Zheng Shanxing nodded at Choi Ji Ren and said, "Yes, this is what Han Yi suggested."

Wang Xuandao said: "The reason why Han Yi is in pairs is nothing more than letting the two sides check and balance each other and avoiding the dominance of one family. This is the art of officialdom. Now the Guanzhong nobles want to take down one of the transportation groups, and the only thing that can compete with the Guanzhong nobles is our Shandong gentry."

"That's true!" Zheng Shanxing nodded.

Cui Jieren smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, you have never been willing to talk to us about money. How did you convince Han Yi this time?"

Zheng Shanxing said: "The truth is just as Xuandao said. If we don't take action, the Guanzhong nobles may squeeze out another transportation group. There have always been regional disputes between Shandong and Guanzhong, but all the gentry in Shandong also need to transport ships. If they are thoroughly mastered by the Guanzhong nobles, then our transportation must also be entrusted to them in the future. Moreover, this is not limited to transactions. The transportation industry is spread across the country, which will increase the reputation of the Guanzhong nobles across the country. If we don't fight, we may lose huge losses."

Lu Shigua said: "But the Yuan family is famous for doing business, and we may not be their opponents."

"With that being said, if that is the case, we have to fight." Wang Xuan said: "Our Shandong gentry nobles are based on their heritage and culture, but culture needs to be spread. If the Guanzhong nobles succeed, they can use this transportation to promote their Guanzhong culture. If we even surpass the Guanzhong nobles, it will be a devastating blow to our Shandong genius."

This is very reasonable. What aristocrat compares is fame. There are no nobles in this world who have no fame.

Cui Jieren narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled, "And we may not necessarily lose. Although the Yuan family is very good at doing business, water transportation must be important in Jiangnan. When our Shandong gentry flew south, many of them stayed in Jiangnan. Guanzhong nobles did not have this advantage. Moreover, our Shandong gentry also had many Mo family children, and there were many books on this aspect at home. In terms of skills, we were not inferior to each other."

Zheng Shanxing nodded and said, "And this can be profitable. Many people in our family are very poor and can only rely on buying and selling marriages to make money. If we take down the transportation group, we can all participate."

Lu Shigua glanced at him and said, "That is to say, you all agree?"

Cui Jieren said proudly: "Why don't you agree? Everyone in the world believes that merchants are profitable and are the last of the people. In fact, this also varies from person to person. For example, Brother Zheng, although he is a businessman, what he does is very different from the merchants in people's eyes. It can be seen that he is upright and businessmen are also upright. Our four major families conduct business with the purpose of not only profit but also reputation. If we can reverse people's view of merchants, then our reputation will only be higher. We may not be the richest businessmen, but I must be the most admired businessmen."

Wang Xuandao smiled and said, "Brother Cui, you seem to be very keen on doing this business."

Cui Jieren said, "Why can Han Yi be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue? Isn't it because he is very good at doing business? It's not the first time he uses his business to achieve his political goals. Since he can, there is no reason we can't."

Although he is arrogant, he is also the best person among the seven sons of Chang'an. He learns from anyone because he has felt that learning a very sacred thing since he was a child. The part about his arrogance is that he will not worship the other party as his teacher. He can only observe silently, then think, and absorb useful knowledge from it. He is not the first to study from Han Yi. He is studying in the gentry academies and family reforms, but he always thinks that he can do better than Han Yi.

Zheng Shanxing smiled and said, "I don't know what political purpose you plan to use this deal to achieve."

Cui Jieren smiled and said, "As the saying goes, prepare for the future."

Seeing that they all agreed, Lu Shigua could only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, and said, "Okay, but I-hehe, I don't have time to care about this."

Wang Xuandao looked at Zheng Shanxing and nodded slightly and said, "Brother Zheng finally doesn't have to hide and be a businessman openly. It's really gratifying."

The darkest person is this bastard.

Zheng Shanxing smiled bitterly and said, "You won't all count on me alone, are you?"

The three of them nodded together.

Zheng Shanxing looked depressed and didn't know what to say. This was what he proposed, so of course he had to be fully responsible.

Yuanjiabao!

In the meeting hall, almost all members of the Yuan family were here.

Yuan Le said: "Brother, Hou Mo Chen family, Helan family, Yu family, Zhao family, and Pei family all agreed to establish a group with us. With their support, it should not be a problem for us to acquire a transportation group."

Yuan Zhe suddenly said: "But as far as I know, the Shandong gentry have been walking around recently, as if they want to take down another transportation group."

"But really?" Yuan Xi frowned.

Yuanzhe nodded and said, "It's probably impossible to be wrong."

Yuan Qi frowned and said, "Their power is not weak either!"

Yuan Le said: "Didn't Han Yi say everything? The court will definitely balance the two sides and will not let the whole family dominate. It doesn't matter. The business depends on ability and financial resources, not fame. The key is how we can make the transportation group grow."

"I have a way!"

Only a happy voice could be heard.

Everyone looked at the sound and felt a headache.

Only Yuanjie said in surprise: "Did uncle have any good ideas?"

The person who spoke was Yuan Jiu. He was idle today and came here to join in the fun.

Yuanjiu said excitedly: "We can set up a tour boat for the nobles to go to the south of the Yangtze River to play. Those people have money, which is much faster than shipping goods, and it is also easy to get things done, and it is absolutely profitable."

"Extremely wonderful!Extremely wonderful!"

Yuanjie said excitedly.

Yuan Xi said lightly: "What do you think other than that?"

Yuanjiu's face seemed to be frosted with eggplant, and he curled his lips, muttering in his mouth, obviously not a good thing. If the Yuan family dared to scold Yuanjiu, then Yuanjiu would be the one who dared to scold Yuanjiu.

When Yuan Xi faced Yuan Jiu, he pretended to be deaf and dumb. You can say whatever you like, but I won’t care about you as much as you do. Because he couldn’t stop Yuan Jiu, Yuan Jiu wanted to be willful, and he was also afraid, so he could only let him go and not mess with him.

Yuanjie had already shrunk his head into his stomach.

"Animal Husbandry!"

Yuan Mudan and Yuan Zhe spoke in unison.

Yuan Mudan immediately said, "Yuan Zhe, tell me."

"--yes!"

Yuan Zhe nodded embarrassedly and said, "The south of Jiangnan is not suitable for grazing, so there is a lack of animal husbandry. Pigs and sheep are very expensive there. Our Chang'an is closest to the north, and the Longyou area is our territory. Therefore, the animal husbandry in the north is transported to Chang'an. If we can use some brains on the ships to facilitate the transportation of animal husbandry, our transport fleet will be deeply loved by the people of Jiangnan. In addition, it can also help us establish good trade with northern tribes and ethnic groups, which will also be of great help to our development of the Silk Road."

Yuan Xi nodded, this is called an idea.

Yuanjiu snorted and said, "It's extremely boring."

Yuanzhe looked embarrassed and couldn't speak out.

Yuan Fei suddenly said, "But this dock is not in our hands."

Yuanzhe nodded and said, "Our transportation group must rely on ships. It is also very important for us to take the dock."

Yuan He said: "I heard that many nobles are competing for docks. Judging from their strength, this seems not difficult to guess."

Yuan Zhe said, "Grandpa, I don't think this matter is that simple. If we look at it in terms of strength, then my uncle can choose through bidding, but my uncle didn't do this, which shows that it is not as fair as we imagined."

Yuan He frowned and said, "Since that's the case, why not ask Han Yi for a clear question."

Yuan Mudan said: "If my husband wanted to tell us, he would have said it long ago. Since he didn't say it, it shows that he had some inconvenience."

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "What Mudan said is right. Han Yi has helped us enough. He has already hinted that he will give it to our Yuan family. But after all, he is still the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. If he goes to him for everything, then it will be difficult to speak in the later negotiations. We should not disturb him. From now on, we should regard Han Yi as the Minister of Revenue and forget that he is the son-in-law of our Yuan family. In this way, we can also strive for more benefits. If we do business, we have no reason to be afraid of the Shandong gentry."
