"Finally here!" Zhu Jun was overjoyed and said to Fang Kachin: "Prefect Fang, I will not come forward to receive Yingtian Chamber of Commerce this time. As we agreed before, you will receive these people well.
Try to let them stay here to invest. In addition, a new Yingtian Chamber of Commerce Center will be established in Fengyang. This vice president must be you! "
Fang Keqin was a clear figure, and he had never liked these merchants, but these days, following Zhu Jun, he heard many different opinions and reflected on himself, knowing that he was too narrow-minded.
What he should hate is profiteers, not good businessmen who do business diligently.
Without these businessmen, it would be difficult for a local economy to develop.
Zhu Jun's non-interference was tantamount to giving him the merits.
"The minister is just here to receive you on behalf of His Highness!" Fang Keqin is not a person with no bottom line. Zhu Jun has helped him enough. When he came to Fengyang, Zhu Jun almost taught him how to govern, and the road was already paved for him.
He just needs to follow the steps and nothing will go wrong.
In this way, he was already very sorry. How could he be so shameless as to take the credit?
"Old Fang, you are a principled person, which is good, but you are not standing high enough. You need to stand higher.
Use your principles to restrain those who have no principles. Only by working from top to bottom can you clean up everything and become a clear stream. Zhu Jun patted him on the shoulder, "I'm leaving first. Those people from the Chamber of Commerce should be arriving soon!" "
After saying that, Zhu Jun left.
Fang Keqin stood there, thinking about Zhu Jun's words. In the end, his eyes became brighter and brighter, "Yes, only from top to bottom can we restrain everything. If I stick to these small details, how can I do bigger things in the future?"
Moreover, King Wu is so talented that I have to work harder to keep up with him. "Thinking of this, Fang Keqin clenched his fists and silently remembered Zhu Jun's kindness in his heart.
"Sir, the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce delegation is coming soon!"
Hearing this, Fang Keqin came back to his senses and saw a group of people approaching in great numbers on the road not far away.
He straightened his clothes, put down the noble feeling in his heart, and remembered the various deeds of Yingtian Chamber of Commerce in the capital, and the last trace of reluctance in his heart disappeared.
They are a delegation. If the negotiation is successful, dozens or even hundreds of workshops will be built here.
At that time, it will help Yingtian solve thousands of jobs.
They are here to help Fengyang develop.
For this reason, he also had to entertain these people.
This time, more than 200 representatives from the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce came.
The Chamber of Commerce currently has more than 1,700 merchants settled in. This is just the first batch. There will be a second batch and a third batch of inspection groups in the future.
It was Prince Wu's Mansion and Fengyang Prefecture who issued the invitation letters, which gave them enough business reputation.
To put it bluntly, how many businessmen can have this kind of face?
Although Fengyang's reputation in recent years has not been very good, Zhu Jun and the others are still coming.
Seeing that the Central Capital is about to be completed, His Majesty has issued an imperial edict to move the capital. I am afraid that the capital will be moved within the next two years.
It is also beneficial for them to come and buy properties.
After all, who doesn't know that the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce is protected by King Wu on the surface, but he is the prince on the inside.
If you can get into the eyes of the prince, won't you be able to skyrocket in the future?
"Don't mention it, the road in Fengyang is really good, wide and big. It's more than a hundred miles away. It's really comfortable to walk. If we go to Yingtian, we can get there in seven or eight days.
A huge time saver! "
"It's very, very good!" said a fat-bellied merchant: "This road is flat and water-resistant, similar to the road in the north of the city. Even in heavy rain, it is not bumpy at all.
The loss on this road can be reduced by at least 60%. The road is good and there are more mules to haul goods.
The time is shortened, and one or two more trips can be made in the same time, and the extra money is profit! "
Everyone was convinced, "My enemy, this King Wu is really courageous. To be honest, at first I thought he was just fooling around. But now I see that everything he does has a profound meaning.
Now that we have the protection of Yingtian Chamber of Commerce, we will no longer be extorted by those yamen when doing business.
If there is any injustice, you can report it and someone will naturally come forward to help you solve it.
Compared to before, it’s so much better! "
In the beginning, they were all pressured into joining.
Now over time, they have also felt the benefits of joining the membership.
For example, resource sharing, and the protection of Prince Wu's Mansion.
They do business smoothly, and even because they recruit workers, most of this year's taxes are exempted.
At first glance, it seemed that a lot of people were invited and a lot of money was spent, but after careful calculation, the profit was actually more than 20 to 30% higher.
Moreover, joining the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce is equivalent to having half a foot on the court's train. If the imperial court has procurement quotas, the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce will spread the word and everyone will bid based on their ability.
Now this business is much easier to do even without bribing those officials.
The management was so strict that a few shrewd merchants maliciously deducted wages from workers. As a result, they were immediately rectified and their business licenses issued by the chamber of commerce were revoked.
The entire industry even reported his deeds, but once his character deteriorated, no one would do business with him anymore.
In the crowd, a middle-aged man listened to everyone talking, his eyes narrowed all the time, half-smiling, but he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Mr. Zhu, this Fengyang has changed a lot!" The speaker was an elder in his early sixties. Although he was dressed like a businessman, he had a strong scribe's temperament, and he was very well-educated at first glance.
Next to him, there was a young man. This young man looked at the wolves with sharp eyes, always alert to his surroundings.
Next to Mr. Zhu, there was a group of people, separating him from the people around him.
This Mr. Zhu is none other than Zhu Yuanzhang who is visiting privately incognito.
"Well, this road is well built!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. Although this road was spacious a few years ago, it was nothing compared to now.
The most important thing is that these businessmen's compliments to Zhu Jun were very pleasing to his ears.
If that bastard heard it, wouldn't his tail be raised to the sky?
Liu Ji smiled bitterly in his heart. If Zhu Jun really built this road to Yingtian, there would really be no way to stop Zhu Yuanzhang from moving the capital.
Such a spacious road, if we hurry up, we can reach Yingtian in two days.
I just don’t know what’s going on inside Fengyang City.
At this time, the caravan suddenly stopped, and a cry came from the front, "Niujiaoshan Cemetery, everyone, dismount!"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, looked up, and saw a big sign standing in front of him, which read Niujiaoshan Disaster Memorial Cemetery!
Many people got off their horses and went to watch. There were written records on it about the origin of Niujiaoshan Cemetery.
After learning that more than 3,000 disaster victims were buried there, many people bowed their heads there: "Natural disasters are merciless, have a safe journey!"
