Businessmen have been pursuing profits since ancient times, and the word "profit" contains too many things. However, in the Tang Dynasty, no interests were more important than the interests of the family and the future of future generations. This idea has been running through the thinking of the Chinese people from ancient times to the present. Among them, the involution among the parents of later generations can be seen.
In this era, it is even worse. After all, in this era, those who can read are really considered superior.
Ashlyu's words made everyone think deeply, "I agree." One person suddenly said, "In fact, it is good to establish a chamber of commerce. Although everyone has not known each other before, they have heard about it. Since this is an opportunity , establish a chamber of commerce and help each other out, and our business will naturally grow bigger and bigger, after all, many of us must be complementary to each other."
"Yes, this is a good idea. Let's not talk about His Highness the King of Shu. It is indeed good for us to establish a chamber of commerce ourselves."
"I think after our first group of members, other members who want to join must be invited by one of us, and only if some members agree."
"Yes. Also, if you think about it, when some businesses advance and retreat together, it is easier for us to resist risks."
Many businessmen nodded in agreement, because establishing a chamber of commerce has no harm at all. It is a loose organization. Everyone chats and gets to know each other. Isn't that what doing business is like?
"My suggestion is that we don't publicize the matter about His Highness the King of Shu today. After all, if there are some gold members who also want this qualification, His Highness the King of Shu may not be able to refuse easily. After all, it is impossible for His Highness the King of Shu to offend all the powerful people at the same time. ." After everyone discussed it, Bai Ling spoke loudly again.
"Those people don't like this thing, right?" One person said hesitantly.
"I don't think so. It's very simple. They are eager to restore their reputation, and the best way to restore their reputation is from His Highness the King of Shu." Another person said.
When others think about it, it seems that this is really the case.
Moreover, no matter how embarrassed the wealthy families were before, they are now so desperate to restore their prestige. For these wealthy families, money does not matter at all, because as long as they maintain their current status and reputation, money should not be too easy.
With this tone, everyone immediately figured out that this was indeed the case. So naturally everyone has no objections to this proposal.
The news and contents of their meeting were immediately known. To be honest, Li Ke was also a little surprised. The more he integrated into this era, the more he discovered that the ancients were also extremely sensitive, but no one provided them with enough information.
Regarding this chamber of commerce, to be honest, it was really beyond Li Ke's expectation. Li Ke originally expected that he would be the first to create it, but he did not expect that a group of businessmen would be the first to create it.
Of course, Li Ke wouldn't stop it. It would be great if someone did it. Once it was done, he could use it. If he had to do everything, it would be too tiring.
But for the time being, don't worry about Li Ke.
Li Ke didn't pay attention here, but Changsun Wuji and others knew the news, but they didn't know what Li Ke invited these members to do, but they could guess. Inviting these people is nothing more than money. After all, renovating the entire Chang'an City costs a lot of money.
Changsun Wuji soon came up with a solution. Those ministers were useless in this matter. People like the Zheng family in Xingyang had to take action, and they would not refuse.
"Changsun Sikong, if you have any idea, just say it. If it's an official target, I don't think we can do anything for the time being." The man opposite Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly. This man represented the Zheng family in Xingyang.
They were the only two people in the room at the moment.
"It's not official. I was at fault for what happened last time." Changsun Wuji said calmly.
Is this man wrong for talking too much? In a single word, one hundred and twenty-nine lives were lost! Of course, he also knew that Changsun Wuji was not to blame for this matter. In fact, they and Changsun Wuji discussed it together. He also knew that Changsun Wuji's interests were aligned with theirs.
"Master Sikong, please speak." The man breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was not official, for now, they could not afford to offend Li Ke.
Everything must be done step by step. How can you catch someone and fight them to death? If the other party loses, forget it. The other party has clearly won a big victory. If you continue to go up at this time, isn't it asking for death? Although the other party is not strictly a legitimate prince, he is still a prince even if he is not a legitimate prince!
"To be precise, this matter only requires spending money. Even if you spend money, even if His Majesty knows about it, I'm afraid there will be no way to tell you, or no one will be able to say anything about you, and His Majesty will even have to thank you. Not sure. But at the same time, it can cause trouble for Li Ke." Changsun Wuji said.
"What can I do?" The man was a little curious. Why didn't he know about such a good thing before?
"You should know that Li Ke is planning to renovate Chang'an City?" Changsun Wuji asked calmly.
"right!"
"It's very simple. There are two steps in total. The first step is to purchase all the stone factories near Chang'an City and increase the price! Double the increase! His Majesty's Daming Palace has been completed, and there is basically no demand for stone materials. Although the later maintenance Part of it is still needed, but the price to the royal family will naturally be lowered."
"We can use this excuse to the outside world, saying that we want to ensure the priority construction of the Royal Daming Palace, and in order to thank His Majesty for his contribution, these stones are sold at a 20% discount on the market price. However, because of this, theoretically they are not sold to the outside world. If they are sold to the outside world, Double the price." Changsun Wuji spoke first and revealed his first goal.
The man's eyes immediately lit up. This was indeed a good idea. All the main streets in Chang'an City were paved with slates and bricks. However, many roads had worn out slates due to their age, exposing the mud underground. Once it rains, it becomes muddy.
There are also some roads that are paved with bricks and stones, and these roads are more damaged. In addition, some alleys between cities and towns are all dirt roads.
The other party will definitely not maintain these dirt roads, but if the price of brick and stone roads alone is doubled, it will be enough for him to drink a pot. Especially slates. The cost of slates was very expensive in ancient times, and slates of the same color used in palaces were even more expensive.
Although the roads in Chang'an City are not that luxurious, they all use stone slabs of the same color, and they are basically used for what they are used for, but even so, the prices can be called extravagant.
You must know that the entire city of Chang'an was not built in one dynasty at all.
In addition, if the masonry firing is doubled, the price will naturally be more expensive. After all, this thing is used in greater quantities, because the masonry roads in Chang'an City are much more damaged than the paved stone roads!
