Chapter 399

Lu Jiao nodded, and then explained: "I didn't open it by myself, I opened it in cooperation with others."

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, she beckoned Zhao Lingfeng to come over, and introduced to everyone: "I cooperated with Mr. Zhao's family. From now on, Mr. Zhao's family will be responsible for the workshop. If you have anything you want to cooperate with, you can talk to him."

Zhao Lingfeng knew Han Tong, but he didn't know the other two, so Han Tong introduced these two people to Zhao Lingfeng.

Liu Dashang and Zhao Lingfeng knew each other by themselves, upon hearing this, he quickly pulled Zhao Lingfeng aside to talk.

The Patriarch of the Yu family followed, wanting to see if he could find some business opportunities that would be beneficial to the Yu family.

Han Tong came to Lu Jiao's side, looked at Lu Jiao and shouted, "Sister-in-law is too mean, why don't you find me when you cooperate with others?"

Lu Jiao looked at him with a smile and said, "Working with you, can you protect these three things?"

One word made Han Tong silent.

Oil, cosmeceuticals and medicine are all attractive businesses, and it is really hard to protect these three if you have no skills.

But he can cooperate with them, and Han Tong asked with interest: "Since you have opened a medicine shop, do you want to purchase a large amount of medicinal materials in the future? Our family also has medicinal materials under our name. If you want, we can deliver them to your door." , In addition, our family's field can grow medicinal materials."

Lu Jiao immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Yun Jin told County Magistrate Hu that after the chamber of commerce is established, the common people will be encouraged to grow medicinal herbs."

Han Tong immediately said pleasantly: "This is not bad."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Jiao in amazement and said, "Sister-in-law, I find you are a very amazing person, really, you can always bring surprises to others."

As soon as Han Tong finished speaking, Xie Yunjin glanced at him angrily, he stretched out his hand to hold Lu Jiao's hand, and said to Han Tong.

"Okay, County Magistrate Hu is about to speak, let's find a place to sit down."

All the people in the hall found a place to sit down, and the county magistrate Hu and several county government officials sat down.

Butou Zhao led the newly recruited policemen from the county government to stand guard on both sides.

Xie Yunjin didn't join County Magistrate Hu and the others either, he found a seat nearby and sat down with Lu Jiao.

Han Tong also hurriedly found a place to sit down. As soon as everyone sat down, the chief magistrate Hu made a speech.

"I called all the merchants here today to discuss something with you. This county intends to build a chamber of commerce in Qinghe County, but I don't know if you are willing to join the chamber of commerce?"

As soon as County Magistrate Hu finished speaking, someone asked next, "Is there any benefit to joining the Chamber of Commerce?"

A businessman seeks profit, and there is no benefit at all, and businessmen are generally unwilling to make trouble.

County magistrate Hu immediately smiled and said: "There are many benefits to joining the chamber of commerce. First of all, the chamber of commerce is organized by the county. If the imperial court issues any decree beneficial to the merchants in the future, the county will notify the people in the chamber of commerce as soon as possible. If Li wants to do something, the county will also give priority to people from the chamber of commerce."

"Not to mention the county, but the merchants within the chamber of commerce. If you need a partner, or want to find a helper, you can find a partner in the chamber of commerce. Isn't this very convenient?"

The words of the county magistrate Hu moved the minds of all the people below, but some smart people among them spoke up.

"Then do you have to abide by some rules to join the chamber of commerce?"

Although they are merchants in Xiaoxiao Qinghe County, they also know that there are places like chambers of commerce in Fucheng.

This place does not exist casually, there must be some requirements.

As soon as the man finished speaking, County Magistrate Hu's face became serious, and he said while looking at the merchants next to him.

"Through the investigation of this county, it was found that the price of goods in Qinghe County is higher than that of other counties. All merchants who join the chamber of commerce are not allowed to raise prices at will, deceive the people at will, and do some illegal business at will. Joining the chamber of commerce must strictly implement these rules. If it is found out by this county, it will be severely punished."

After the county magistrate Hu finished speaking, the next discussion began, among which the members of the four major surnamed families spoke the most fiercely.

"Why does the Chamber of Commerce let us lower the price? We're just selling something, yet we're still under control. It's too unfree."

"Yes, joining the Chamber of Commerce is like a big mountain on your head. You will be watched all the time in the future. Are you still free?"

"Our family doesn't want to join the chamber of commerce. The advantages are not taken, but there are a lot of disadvantages."

As soon as the people from the four surnamed families said it, many people on the field thought of quitting.

The county magistrate of Shangshou Hu quickly said: "This county has no intention of forcing everyone, but this county must tell all the merchants that Yang County Cheng and Peng Zhubo took bribes of more than 200,000 taels of silver before. The King of Yan was alarmed, and the King of Yan was very concerned about this matter. If he asked about it later and found that the price of goods in my Qinghe County was higher than that of other counties, I am afraid that the merchants in Qinghe County would have to be liquidated by the King of Yan. Caring for the common people, the most despised the suffering of the common people.”

Next, Zhao Lingfeng couldn't help but twitched the corners of his lips after hearing the words of County Magistrate Hu. If there is someone above this Magistrate Zhao, it doesn't mean that he can't climb up. He is too good at talking.

After hearing the words of the magistrate Hu, the merchants below were stunned, and no one dared to say that they would not join the chamber of commerce.

However, he did not immediately stand up and say to join the chamber of commerce.

Seeing that everyone was not moving, Lu Jiao glanced at Xie Yunjin who was beside her. Xie Yunjin nodded to her. Lu Jiao immediately stood up and was the first to say, "I voluntarily join the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce."

As soon as Lu Jiao opened her mouth, the Tian family said, "My family also volunteered to join the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce."

The Han family followed up and said, "My family also voluntarily joined the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce."

The Yu family said: "I am also willing to join."

Businessman Liu saw that everyone joined, and he didn't fall behind and shouted: "My family also volunteered to join the Qinghe County Chamber of Commerce."

...

In the end, there were many more people who voluntarily joined the Chamber of Commerce than those who did not.

Seeing such a situation, County Magistrate Hu was very happy, and looked at the people below with a wide smile.

Anyway, he didn't ask him to be cold-hearted, right? If the four major families don't want to join the chamber of commerce, he still wants to deal with them.

County magistrate Hu said in a deep voice while thinking: "Okay, next, our chamber of commerce will hold an internal meeting to elect the president and vice president of the chamber of commerce. Those who are not members of our chamber of commerce are invited to go back first."

The four surnames looked at each other, and at the end they all stood up and said, "We also volunteer to join the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce."

The four major surnamed families all joined, and those businessmen who followed their families also expressed their intention to join the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce.

County magistrate Hu was not happy, but looked at the people from the four major families with a calm expression and said.

"Are you sure the elders in the family will agree?"

The four major surnames who came to participate today are the children of the family. Their words do not represent the words of the family. Don't turn around and disagree with the elders of the family.
