This means that good fair competition does not take advantage of it?

Fan Yongdou looked at Wu Dazhang who was joking loudly, smiled bitterly, and stood up and left.

According to the established charter, you can obtain a license for border and foreign trade without buying it.

But, the key is this.

Obtaining a trade license is only the first step, but it does not mean that you can go out to trade with the Mongolians directly, because the one who takes over the trade has been designated as the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

What does it mean is that you are qualified to sell merchant goods, but the buyer will be the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. You are also allowed to set the price of commercial goods. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce recommends that you increase the price by 10%.

Of course, it is your freedom to add a few cents, but it is hard to say whether you can sell it at this price. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce does not buy it for cash, but sell it before paying it.

Moreover, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce also has a channel for purchasing goods, and the approximate price is clear, so you can't deceive others.

The price is set high, and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce says it can’t be sold, so it’s just piled it in the warehouse to pay the storage fee!

The price is set at a low price, and it is not the same price that the Chinese Chamber of Commerce sells to Mongolians. The big boss belongs to others, so it has nothing to do with you.

Although the words are not stated clearly, the recommendation of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is basically a fixed price. You only have to pay 10% of the profit, and you have to pay commercial taxes. Don’t do it.

Monopoly, a pure monopoly!

Fan Yongdou and others expected that the license might be difficult to obtain, and the court would favor Wu Dazhang, but they did not expect that this would be the case.

If you are just an ordinary businessman, such a situation and such profits are acceptable.

But these eight masters did not make such little money in the previous border trade. That's right, in the eyes of them who once monopolized border foreign trade, this little money was just a little money.

The imperial court wanted to control border foreign trade, which was a clear intention.

Whether it is to make money, or to strengthen control over the Mongols through economic means, or both, it is useless to guess.

There is no meat and bones, but the soup is still possible if you want to drink it.

Fan Yongdou and others pinched their noses and paid the deposit and obtained the license. But they didn't want to look at Wu Dazhang's face again and left the seat one after another.

Wu Dazhang was proud and was talking to several close merchants about the benefits of the new border trade policy.

"The warehouses and inns are all built by our chamber of commerce, and they all offer discounts. They are all from the merchants, and the hard work they have is the most clear about."

Wu Dazhang first empathized with his appearance, and then changed his tone of temptation, "You all know that the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has received the permission of the court, so relying on the post station to build warehouses and set up shops? This is to facilitate merchants to transport goods, which is both safe and reliable."

Do you think this is the Chinese Chamber of Commerce doing a loss-making business? Building a warehouse requires money, but isn’t it profitable to operate it? After it develops, you can also add transportation and other businesses.

"I admire the Chinese Chamber of Commerce very much, and I admire President Wu very much." A businessman bowed and said, "I don't know what conditions are needed to join the Chamber of Commerce?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at attention, Wu Dazhang couldn't help but cough and said seriously: "The conditions are very simple, honest and law-abiding, loyal to the emperor and patriotism."

He stretched out his fat hand and waved it in the air for a moment. Wu Dazhang's face became more serious. "The unscrupulous people, the unscrupulous people, even if they have a wealth of wealth, this chamber of commerce will never accept it. If they accept it by mistake, they will be removed immediately."

"It's so that you can learn that this chamber of commerce and the commerce company are full of long live eyes and have the right to write a letter." Wu Dazhang looked around the merchants and said loudly: "If any official is bullying the law, he will be the mastermind."

Oh, ah! It turns out that with such a background, no wonder you have to monopolize border foreign trade. This is what it means!

The merchants made a marvelous and envious voice, and their eyes looked at Wu Dazhang very differently.

It is unusual for people to be granted the title of the people. But when they joined the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, they were bullied and extorted by the government, they were also indicted and wronged, and they were still the Supreme Lord of the Nine Five to take the lead!

Wu Dazhang looked at everyone deeply, nodded from time to time, and a warm smile appeared on his fat face.

I didn't lie to you, this is really a privilege of our Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Long live the grace and will make the decisions for businessmen who are legal, law-abiding and honest in their business.

"As long as you act according to the law, I will make the decision for you. By following mediocrity, the stability of the place you can maintain is also a collusion..."

Liu Lishun, the magistrate of Jiashan County, Jiaxing Prefecture, looked at the noisy and clamoring village officials under the yamen. He remembered Long Live's words and made up his mind to the end.

Hu Cheng and Zhang Rui knelt in front of the hall, and their eyes were filled with joy.

These two guys have no identities, or it is more appropriate to call them Haonu.

But they are all proprietors of Xu Tingjiao, who rely on their master's power to collect rent, blackmail and give up gifts, and force their children to write about their land. They are full of bad deeds and commit many sins.

And the wealthy and powerful gentry like Xu Tingjiao were mostly driven by these wealthy slaves and evil servants from the people.

It can be said that Hu Cheng and Zhang Rui are the master's hawk, the thugs who are powerful and prosperous in the country, and the tools for them to make money and plunder the land.

"Hu Cheng, Zhang Rui lent money and blackmailed the good citizen Dong Dafen to death." Liu Lishun slapped the gavel heavily and said loudly: "Now the evidence is conclusive, the criminal has pleaded guilty and is clamoring..."

"It's wrong, it's wrong!" Hu Cheng cried and howled, interrupting Liu Lishun. "It's true that Cao Min lends money, but Dong Dafen's death has nothing to do with Cao Min. He confessed his guilt and was punished because he was punished, and he was scolded."

"It's a slander!" Zhang Rui received the prompt, immediately raised his butt and cried, "If you don't slap, you'll be beaten to death by the board."

The student Zhou Wenrong took a step forward and bowed, "My County Master Hu Cheng and Zhang Rui are servants of Xuxianghuan. Xuxianghuan has always been extremely strict. I believe the case is a bit tortuous. I hope the adults will take charge of the people and retrieve the case."

Liu Lishun looked at the famous litigation stick in the county coldly and said in a deep voice: "The case is clear and clear, and the official will be punished according to the law, so how can there be twists and turns? If you think that the official's decision of the case is unfair, you can sue the government office. Gathering people to cheer up and conquer the rules and regulations, are you not afraid of national laws?"

Zhou Wenran was not afraid and said loudly: "My lord is very simple. When he complained to the government office, he ran around for a long distance and filed money and delayed work, who would bear the losses of the loss? It was obviously an unjust case, but the master was determined to do his own thing, not afraid of posting a manifesto?"

Liu Lishun was furious and pointed at Zhou Wenling and scolded: "I am bold and crazy, sophist, and make trouble for the government. The person who came will take it down with me."

This is not just a matter of two noble slaves breaking the law, but also involves deeper contradictions.

Liu Lishun knew in his heart that he could not give in to this matter. Otherwise, his prestige would greatly decline and these guys would become more and more demanding, and all efforts to rectify government affairs would be wasted.
