Chapter 718 Future Planning
"Are you sure?" Fusu asked.
He was so shocked. Yesterday, he thought that some tribal leaders would agree, but he never expected that basically all the leaders agreed.
Jiang Lu had expected this. Before leaving Xianyang City, he had already learned about the situation in Baiyue Land from Ying Zheng.
The land of Baiyue is now very complicated. Many leaders have completely surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, especially those small tribes. If they do not support it, they can only choose to be destroyed.
There are also some people who support Qin on the surface, but actually want to use the imperial court to develop their own power, and may eventually turn against Qin.
Although some people defected to the imperial court, the various ethnic groups had hatred towards each other. They often faced tit-for-tat and even fought, but they were later settled by Wang Ben.
In particular, there were overt and covert fights among the various tribes. Only when Fusu was stationed in Baiyue did they restrain themselves.
After learning everything, Jiang Lu was inexplicably excited and told Ying Zheng directly that he would properly handle their relationship and ensure that the tribes would get along well with each other.
Ying Zheng said that no matter whether General Lu can do it or not, he must do it now.
Li Si has already established a chamber of commerce, so the generals must also become a chamber of commerce. The Li Si family cannot be allowed to dominate, otherwise the power of the nobles will become stronger and stronger.
Ying Zheng could definitely support Li Si and ask him to take it easy, but doing so would dampen the enthusiasm of the nobles or businessmen.
Now Great Qin needs business to develop Great Qin. Therefore, Ying Zheng needs to take a step forward than Li Si. In this way, control is still in the hands of Ying Zheng, that is, in the hands of the imperial power.
General Lu knew what Ying Zheng meant, so he quickly came to the land of Baiyue, hoping to reach a cooperative relationship with the leaders of the major tribes.
But he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
"Chiefs, since you agree, let's sign a contract. My people have prepared everything. You can take a look at the contents of the contract first, and then decide whether to sign it or not.
certainly. You can also discuss it. "Jiang Lu said.
Then Jiang Lu arranged for a group of shopkeepers to take the contract and hand it over to the tribal leaders.
After all the tribal leaders got the contract, they looked at it carefully. Everyone looked at it very carefully, for fear of missing something.
After reading the contract, they found that it contained many overbearing clauses. For example, if they did not cooperate, the general would have the right to tear up the contract without compensating any losses.
Also, they must unconditionally obey anything that is beneficial to the caravan, otherwise they will be expelled from the fleet.
Also, during the construction of Hong Kong, some people cheated, deliberately delayed the construction period, or cut corners and materials. They not only had to be held legally responsible, but they also had to compensate the chamber of commerce and the court for their losses.
There are overlord clauses, and there are also good clauses. For example, if someone is injured or dies at work, will the chamber of commerce provide certain compensation?
For example, if you encounter danger when going to sea, death will give you one hundred taels of silver, broken hands and feet, fifty taels, etc.
Or during the construction of Hong Kong, you can get compensation if you die unfortunately, and you can get corresponding compensation even if you get sick.
Not only that, he also gives gifts to everyone during holidays and so on.
After Hong Kong is built, how many houses, shops, etc. will be given to them? All this is written in the contract.
This made all the leaders jealous. Such generous conditions made them forget about the overlord clauses. .
Many of the leaders had questions, and the shopkeepers patiently explained them to them.
Finally, after everyone fully understood the contract, they began to sign the contract.
There are three contracts in total, one is the Chamber of Commerce contract. The Chamber of Commerce contract is overbearing, but free. If you want to withdraw, you can withdraw at any time.
However, after withdrawing, you will lose some of the powers and benefits of the Chamber of Commerce, including the fleet and the qualification to build Hong Kong.
If you leave the Chamber of Commerce, you will leave the fleet and lose your qualifications to build Hong Kong.
At this time, everyone has seen the matter clearly, and the Chamber of Commerce is the one who will
They banded together and then formed a fleet and built Hong Kong.
And the fleet and building Hong Kong can give them huge rewards.
Therefore, everyone signed their names without hesitation, and there was another point in the Chamber of Commerce that made them very excited, that is, the president of the Chamber of Commerce will be re-elected every three years. By then, anyone can become the president of the Chamber of Commerce. .
When everyone had signed, Jiang Lu said to everyone: "Congratulations to everyone for becoming a member of the Baiyue Chamber of Commerce.
I hope that after joining the Baiyue Chamber of Commerce, everyone will always be a member of the Baiyue Chamber of Commerce and not leave the Baiyue Chamber of Commerce easily.
Of course, this is my hope, not to mention forcing it. If there is a good place to go, I also hope that you can go to the Baiyue Chamber of Commerce.
My head still hurts today. I hope I can rest for another day. I also hope that everyone can find a good place to become the headquarters of the Baiyue Chamber of Commerce.
Then establish more branches in the land of Baiyue. The function of the branches is to attract businessmen to join and find places to invest.
The leaders will become the branch heads of each branch. I will arrange a shopkeeper for you and then look for investment projects in your location.
Once you have it, we will pay you to build roads. Although many places are already familiar with Guangzhou City, there are still many places where roads have not been built.
In addition, I will choose a few places among you to build three workshops, a steam plow vehicle workshop, a steam harvesting vehicle workshop and an automatic seeder.
You should have heard of these three things. They were made by the Imperial Master. From then on, plowing cattle is no longer needed for plowing the land, which greatly saves time and manpower, allowing your people to have more time to do other things.
I will also build shipyards and ports, which require a lot of manpower, so I need you to provide manpower.
But don’t worry, I will pay them wages, arrange food and accommodation, and ensure their livelihood. Of course, I cannot give you the profits from these four workshops.
But I also have other workshops, such as a cement workshop, a pen, ink, paper and inkstone workshop, and a lantern workshop. I can let you invest in them, that is, I will give them to you at a 28/20 ratio.
I am eight and you are two, but what you have to do in these workshops is to have enough manpower, enough safety, and factory premises, etc.
Otherwise I won’t be able to give you 20% of the benefits.
In addition, I hope you can support the manpower to build the road. After a cement road is built, it is not free for everyone to use.
If businessmen want to use this cement road, they need to pay a fee. Of course, this fee is included in our interests.
Of course, it is free for people in your tribe, but outside merchants charge. This road will not be free until the cost we invested is recovered. "
Afterwards, Jiang Lu began to explain the future plans and distribution of interests, such as large business such as opening a workshop, and small business such as building a tavern and restaurant.
