Almighty System Great Master Qin

Chapter 22 The First Step

"Master Hou, these merchants have arrived, and they are waiting in the main hall."

"Well, let's go"

"See Lord Hou," these merchants bowed respectfully.

Although these merchants are among the top merchants and rich men in Xianyang City, they are the lowest group of people in Daqin.But Xiao Hong is the twentieth-rank Chehou of the imperial division, and his status is inconsequential.

After Xiao Hong sat on the main seat, he looked at the three famous merchants and said, "The three of you should introduce yourself first."

"Cao Min is He Shen who is in the fur business," said a middle-aged man with a big belly.

"Caomin is Di Jian, who deals in copper and iron," said an old man in a blue gown.

"Caomin is Zhai Jie who is in the cloth business," said an old man with gray hair.

"Let's all sit down." Xiao Hong asked them to sit down, and said, "Tea on the spring grass."

After Chuncao and the others brought tea to Xiao Hong and the three merchants, they withdrew.

"The Marquis asked everyone to come here today. I want to ask you something."

"Master Hou, please tell me, the grassroots must know everything without saying anything," Di Jian bowed and said.

"Sit down" Xiao Hong told Di Jian to sit down and talk.

"That's right, this Marquis would like to ask you what you think of the current business laws of Daqin?"

As soon as Xiao Hong said this, the three merchants were so frightened that they fell to their knees on the ground.

"Master Hou, we are all responsible businessmen, and we dare not have any dissatisfaction with Daqin's laws."

"Master Hou, we are all law-abiding people, and we have been strictly observing the laws of Daqin."

"Also ask Hou Ye to be clear, we are all people of duty, and never dare to violate the laws of the Great Qin"

The three merchants thought that Xiao Hong wanted to use the law as an excuse to swallow up their property.

"What are you doing, all get up" Xiao Hong looked at the old man who was a few rounds older than him kneeling in front of him, worried that his life would be shortened.

Xiao Hong personally helped them up and said: "I am not here to ask for guilt. I really want to know what you think about the commercial laws of the Qin Dynasty today."

"Don't worry, say it boldly, besides, this Marquis really wants to deal with you, does it need to be so troublesome?"

Di Jian, the oldest copper and iron merchant, swallowed his saliva and said, "Since Lord Hou said so, let the grass-roots people express their own opinions."

"Say"

"The business law of Daqin is stricter than it was before the unification of the six kingdoms. The grassroots are natives of Qin. When the Daqin did not unify the six kingdoms, although the business laws were strict, it has not reached the level it is today."

Di Jian stroked his beard and said, "Now, everything we do must be approved by the government, and just like I am a businessman in the copper and iron business, I can only do copper and iron business. And it is also stipulated that only production and How many copper and iron tools are sold, and you can only work within the scope of Xianyang, and you can't leave half a step."

"Well, it seems that the management of business law is really strict." Xiao Hong nodded in agreement after listening to Di Jian's words.

"Hou Ye" who is in the fur business sees that Di Jian is fine after speaking his mind, so he also let go of his courage.

"Grassmen are in the fur business, but now the imperial government imposes heavy taxes on grassmen, and there are many restrictions. In many cases, grassmen cannot sell an extra foot of fur, otherwise they will be fined and go bankrupt."

"Master Hou, Caomin is in the cloth business. The problems of Di Jian and He Shen are actually the problems of all the businessmen in Daqin. Our status is low, we can be bullied by others, and the local governments can deal with us at will. The business has not been guaranteed security, and may be confiscated by the government at any time.”

"Well, it seems that Daqin's business laws are indeed managed very meticulously." Daqin's laws are indeed managed very meticulously, but they are too meticulous and strict, so that ordinary people in Daqin live in a harsh life for a long time. This is not true. It is beneficial to the development of Daqin.Now that merchants are being managed so strictly, one can imagine how weak Daqin's business is, and how it can develop like this.

"You should have seen the edict issued by His Majesty this time? Did you all participate?"

"Master Hou, we all participated in it," said the oldest Di Jian.

"Well, it sounds like you have to fully participate this time. It is best to mobilize other businessmen to participate vigorously to do the best. If he needs to loosen business laws in Japan, you may be a help."

"Master Hou!" Di Jian and the three of them seemed to have heard an incredible news.

"That's right, this Marquis comes from the Heavenly Court, and he is here to help Daqin become stronger, and loosening business laws and liberating Daqin merchants is a crucial step for Daqin to become stronger, so he may need your help."

"Hou Ye" Di Jian fell to his knees. "Di Jian hereby swears that in order to loosen the business law, as long as Hou Ye can get the grass people's place, the grass people will help him with all his strength, and he will not hesitate to break his body and bones."

"Okay" Xiao Hong helped Di Jian up, "as long as the businessmen of the world are willing to work hard to loosen the business laws, then this will happen."

"But" Xiao Hong's words changed.

"Now, you need to do a good job in the matter in front of you, and let His Majesty see the realization that businessmen in the world can go through fire and water for the country, so that this Marquis can use this to speak in the future, do you understand?"

"I'll wait until I understand"

"Okay, let's finish the matter in front of us first, but I don't want anyone else to know about the loosening of business laws for the time being. You will find out later."

"I'll wait until I understand"

"Okay, let's go"

"Master Hou, the grassroots will resign." Di Jian and the three of them withdrew from the main hall.

"Di Gong, do you think Lord Hou is serious?" He Shen, the youngest of the three, asked uncertainly.

"Old man, I believe Lord Hou is serious, otherwise we wouldn't be the only three of us." Di Jian and the three of them can be said to be the leaders of all the merchants in Xianyang City.

The influence of the three of them among businessmen is enormous, especially Di Jian.

"Well, the old man also believes that Lord Hou is not joking, but as Lord Hou said, our top priority now is not the business law in the future, but the edict of His Majesty in front of us. We must notify all capable businessmen to work together Work hard, do this well, and it can be regarded as an explanation to Lord Hou."

"Well, Mr. Zhai is right. Let's leave here first. This is not a place to talk. Come to the old man's mansion tonight." The three agreed and broke up.

"Master Hou, loosen the business laws." Wang Chen looked at Xiao Hong worriedly.

"You don't want to have such a sad face, can you?"

Xiao Hong said helplessly: "This Marquis knows that loosening business laws is not a trivial matter, so this is preparation in the early stage. If you are not [-]% sure, Ben Hou will not do it, but you still have to find someone to watch them and loosen business laws. You can't spread the word about the law now, do you understand?"

"Here, the old slave will do it now." Wang Chen sent out several guards who were best at tracking the Hou's mansion, but he just confessed that it is enough to observe secretly, and not to act rashly.
