Chapter 104 Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce Qualifications
Luo Sigong is also old. He wants his son to take over the Jinyiwei, but he needs to have enough achievements to be convincing and can make Long Live nod and agree.
Therefore, he sent the mission to Luo Yangxing several times, arrested Wang Haoxian at Shifokou, and monitored the Eight Great Masters in Shanxi. The emperor also told the mission that he made another contribution and was favored and praised by the emperor.
"Long live and don't worry, I understand what you mean." Luo Sigong handed the tea bowl back to the palace servant, stood up and bowed, "I will go back and arrange it now, and I will definitely spread the wind to Jiannu without any trace."
Do you really understand? Zhu Youxiao blinked his eyes and felt that he should not doubt Luo Sigong's IQ. He may be the commander of the Jinyiwei who has been in office for the longest time. How could he have few tricks?
"Okay, go down!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand.
Luo Sigong stepped back, and Zhu Youxiao touched his chin and thought for a while, thinking that he would continue to arrange this first.
It would be better to be successful. The civil strife of Jiannu also saved a lot of effort from the Ming Dynasty. If it didn't succeed, it would be destroyed by force. Huang Taiji was just lucky, and it was not that scary.

"The people who received the orders and thanked me, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Tang Mo knelt down and received the order to thank him, his voice trembling a little.
Finally, I waited and finally got it. The members of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce who fell to kneel behind the incense table with Tang Mo were also excited.
Obviously, the civil servants are a symbol of appreciation and recognition by the emperor. Although it is just an honor on the surface and does not have much actual favor. However, the symbolic meaning is extraordinary. So far, only four merchants have obtained it.
The so-called right to write a letter is not a layered transfer in the ordinary sense, but a direct presentation in front of the emperor, which is equivalent to a direct remark. With this right, how many officials can have it?
The father-in-law who sent the order did not stop for much. He handed over the imperial edict, rituals and uniforms to Tang Mo, and then turned around and left. Xia Zhongshi gave him a small ingot of gold while giving him a gift. The father-in-law smiled faintly and put it in his sleeves, without any politeness.
How could Zhu Youxiao not know that the palace servants who sent the orders received some extra money, but he did not set a deadly rule.
However, if you accept it, you have to report it truthfully when you go back. It is not about taking back the little gold and silver, but your attitude must be correct. Otherwise, the punishment will be affirmed and there will be no chance of coming out in the future.
Just like the relationship between officials, as long as they do not accept bribes and do things for others, there is no need to be too strict and strict. In the future, Zhu Youxiao will also implement a declaration system among officials and stipulate the value of gifts.
By the time I turned around the hall in mid-sea, the atmosphere was already full of joy. Tang Mo, including him, was full of joy and laughter.
"Li Dan, Yan Siqi of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, Wu Dazhang and Shao Hanliang of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce have all come to the capital. Tomorrow, we will come to the palace to meet. Our Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce will also have a place. It's a happy congratulation, and it's a happy congratulation!"
"I was worried these days, and finally got what I wanted. The stone in my heart fell to the ground and was very happy. I would celebrate when I was drunk and I would stop after I was drunk."
"We must perform well in the future and help Brother Tang to be promoted to the fifth rank. We will be on par with Li, Yan and Wu. Our Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is not inferior to others."
Tang Mo nodded repeatedly with a smile. He just changed into the sixth-grade costume he gave him, and wanted to be more reserved, but this smile could not hide the ecstasy and excitement in his heart.
Seeing Xia Zhongshi come back, Tang Mo reached out and smiled and said, "Old Xia, I have to discuss it in advance to not be embarrassed in front of the maritime merchants and the Chinese chambers of commerce?"
Xia Zhongshi bowed and congratulated him first, and then said, "It's okay to discuss, but it's okay not to discuss. Since the title of civil servants has been granted, the emperor will definitely be satisfied with the regulations we presented. Tomorrow, the three chambers of commerce will meet together, that is, to listen to the Hadith and unify their opinions. Too unexpected policies and conditions will definitely not be available."
Tang Mo felt it made sense and felt more at ease. He smiled and said, "Then drink it to celebrate?"
Xia Zhongshi pondered for a moment and said, "It's better to send someone to invite Li Dan, Yan Siqi, Wu Dazhang and others to coordinate at the dinner table, and there will be no trouble tomorrow."
Tang Mo slapped his thigh and said, "Old Xia is still thoughtful. In the past, he asked them to be arrogant and flattering. Now, in the name of celebration, it is legitimate and not inferior to others, and it is despised."
Xia Zhongshi nodded, but reminded him tactfully: "You still have etiquette. They have a long-standing qualification and have done some work for the emperor, so they are very trustworthy."
"I understand, understand." Tang Mo said with his head in his arms, "I won't be proud, it makes people laugh at it as a villain."
Not only did Tang Mo say that, he also knew in his heart that he was a new civil servant and had never given a job for the emperor. His grace was naturally not as good as the Maritime Chamber of Commerce and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
However, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce also has its own favorable conditions. In terms of the prosperity of business, its area is greater than that of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which is mainly composed of merchants in Tongzhou; in terms of connections, it is definitely better than the Navy Chamber of Commerce in China.
Therefore, Tang Mo still has the confidence to grow and grow in the future, gain the reputation of the emperor, and be on par with the two major chambers of commerce.
At this time, the two giants of the Maritime Merchants Association were eating northern dishes in the most famous restaurant in Beijing. Mutton was indispensable and it was quite satisfying to eat.
As hosts, Wu Dazhang and Shao Hanliang of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce were also enthusiastic about drinking and raised their glasses frequently.
"I eat less northern dishes, but I like this-" Yan Siqi made a meaningless gesture and finally got a more appropriate word, "This refreshing way to eat."
Li Dan laughed, feeling that Lao Yan was a little embarrassed, and said slowly from the side: "The north is generous and the south is delicate. I have seen it today, and I would like to thank you for your kindness."
Wu Dazhang laughed, waved his fat hand, and said, "I have long admired Brother Li, Brother Yan is a dragon in the sea, galloping over the waves, and I admire him very much. Finally, I have the opportunity to meet and have a little bit of hosts, but I can't say that I have any kindness."
Shao Hanliang is similar to Xia Zhongshi. He is a half-baked scholar who has studied. He inherits his ancestral business and is very flexible in his mind. He is considered a military advisor of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
The Chinese Chamber of Commerce monopolized border and foreign trade, which was the imperial order, which was similar to the situation where maritime merchants monopolized maritime trade. In Shao Hanliang's view, if you build a bridge with maritime merchants and exchange trade goods, you will earn more.
"Brother Li, Brother Yan is familiar with the overseas market. I don't know if there is a market for northern merchants?" Shao Hanliang raised his glass and expressed his plans for the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
The commodity economy was quite developed in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, but at that time, most commercial cities were commercial cities in the south of the Yangtze River, including Nanjing, Yizheng, Yangzhou, Guazhou, Suzhou, Songjiang, Hangzhou and Jiaxing.
