Hearing Guan Ning say that the pilot program of the Chamber of Commerce was successful, Gongsun Yan was not particularly surprised.
This chamber of commerce is an official organization established by the county government.
The Han Dynasty already had very strict and complete management methods for business.
The city was divided by walls into lane markets, government temples, arsenals, etc.
Among them, shops set up city ordinances, and the city magistrate and others managed the market and controlled the market registration of merchants.
There is no such thing as commercial tax.
Lu Long had such frequent foreign trade for several years without commercial tax, and Gongsun Yan felt distressed just thinking about it.
There was also a customs duty account book that "coincidently" burned down before Zhao Yun took office. The county's chief bookkeeper and several clerks and clerks all died violently overnight. The specific whereabouts of the customs duties have become a mystery.
It's just that when the previous county king left office, he had thousands of carts of property.
Gongsun Yan recorded all of this account in his small book and would only report it in the future.
Although she is extremely greedy about business taxes, she can't move easily.
Although merchants were considered lowly in the Han Dynasty, in western Liaoning and even in the entire Han Dynasty, which family did not have collusion between officials and merchants, or directly had white-glove merchants?
Before reaching a complete state, it is very unwise to rashly touch commercial taxes, touch the interests of a group, and provoke aristocratic families.
Therefore, she could only take a curveball approach to save the country and first establish a chamber of commerce.
Establish a new set of rules that are borderline, invite them to join, and adapt to the rules she has set. When they are strong, they can slowly adapt.
What is the most attractive thing in this world?
Benefit!
At this time, the products sold in the market were still medicinal materials, lacquerware, silk tapestry and other products.
The government-established chamber of commerce will provide wheat straw tableware, soap, matches, paper, etc.
There are also high-end crystal cups and the remarkable Shengyang wine.
Government-run weaving mills, breweries, and paper mills are also under intensive construction.
Especially when sweet potatoes become popular, more high-yielding crops are promoted, and weaving workshops are established, the small-scale farmer economy will be severely impacted at this stage.
Maybe a large number of families will go bankrupt and lose their jobs, but it doesn't matter. Next, Gongsun Yan will build various projects and there will be a lot of job opportunities.
She will also take corresponding support measures and will not sit back and watch the farmer go bankrupt and fall into the miserable situation of selling his daughter.
Gongsun Yan wants to use the materials in her hands to impact the economy of various aristocratic family estates and force them to join her rules.
Let them spit out the shadows hidden in the manor, and then lure them with benefits, so that they can focus on more valuable and profitable places.
Instead of just focusing on the one-third of an acre of land under your feet, you spend all your time poking around the corners of the government office.
This will be a job that requires patience and must not be radical or allow people to detect her true intentions early.
She should take every step, weave the cobweb carefully, and wait for the target to fall into her palm.
The first step at this time is to let the merchants in the city realize what the newly established chamber of commerce has to offer and its value.
Since accepting the letter of nomination from the Guan family, the Guan family has become the first member to join the Chamber of Commerce.
And with Gongsun Yan holding the carrot of honorary president, the Guan family is almost going all out to prepare for the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce.
Now that Yuan Shao is in great power, the turning point in the battle of Guandu has not yet come.
Before that, Gongsun Yan made up his mind to become Voldemort, so that her and Gongsun Cheng's names would completely disappear from everyone's sight.
Therefore, Guan Yang also sent his eldest daughter Guan Ning to be responsible for handling everything with Gongsun Yan.
Along with the deed, Guan Ning handed over a list.
The above are all merchants that Guan has initial intentions for after initial contact.
Gongsun Yan took a preliminary look and found that the list was all registered merchants.
"Li family, Zheng family, Yan family..." More than a dozen names were clearly listed.
Gongsun Yan smiled and said to Guan Ning: "Well done."
The list of members of the first batch of chamber of commerce was drawn up by Gongsun Yan. She hoped to build up the competitiveness of these medium-sized merchants first, so as to prevent the aristocratic families from quickly becoming a group after joining.
After receiving such direct praise, Guan Ning showed a happy expression on his face: "The membership fee will be shipped to the government office after the membership fee."
"Also, there is Mrs. Yan." A touch of red appeared on Guan Ning's face, "There is also... Qingyi wine produced by Guzhu Manor."
Now, there is a magical well in Lone Bamboo Manor, and the story that stars once fell into it has spread throughout the North.
There are even many people in Lulong County who swear that they saw the comet streak across the night sky and land in the direction of Guzhu in April.
Even Gongsun Yan, who concocted rumors, did not expect that there would be such a thing as witness.
But she won't refute and expose it.
Originally, Guzhu Manor produced very high-quality Qingyi wine. Since the stars fell into the well, the Qingyi wine produced has even more magical effects.
It can make a man become more virile.
With such half-truths and half-false rumors, coupled with the personal testimony of a group of people who came to Guzhu to attend the funeral and receive gifts, Qingyi Wine in Guzhu Manor has now become famous.
Lingzhi Gongsun Jing, his uncle, even wrote letters and sent people to ask for it several times in the name of Gongsun Jing.
Like Gongsun Jing, there were also one or two guests who had benefited from the experience and came to buy it shamelessly.
Gongsun Yan ignored all of them. In the eyes of the world, she was still building a house in Guzhu Beishan to observe filial piety, so she had no time to care about these secular matters.
There has been no movement at Lone Bamboo Manor, and there are people who have asked for a drink with thousands of dollars, but they have not been able to do so.
This time Gongsun Yan made this Shengyang wine an exclusive product of the Chamber of Commerce, and prepared thirty bottles. The price of one bottle was five thousand gold, exclusively for the members of the Chamber of Commerce, and it was sold out overnight.
The person who snatched it would resell it for much more than the purchase price of five thousand gold.
This wine is far more popular than the glass products for which Gongsun Yan has high hopes.
Gongsun Yan herself did not expect that the first pot of gold she earned in the Han Dynasty was from selling Xiaolan Medicine.
Seeing that Guan Ning was shy when mentioning this matter, Gongsun Yan only smiled.
Make money openly and without shame.
Gongsun Yan picked up the tea brought by Alan and took a sip, "The production of wine in Guzhu Village is limited and it will take some time. Don't be impatient, Aning."
She lacks people rather than money, and this kind of wine is positioned as a high-end luxury product.
Therefore, even if she could quickly produce a large batch with cheap materials, she did not intend to make more, but instead kept increasing the output.
Guan Ning's face was apathetic. No matter how greedy she was for the profits, she didn't ask for a share of the exports.
She had received her father's advice from the beginning, and she would hold out her hand to take it when Mrs. Yan gave it to them. They couldn't be greedy if Mrs. Yan didn't give it to them.
This is also the measure Guan Yang has set for himself and the Guan family after his keen observation.
He really pursues profit and loves money, and wants to change his family, but he also cherishes his life.
Not to mention the Gongsun family behind Lady Yan.
Now in charge, the Guan family is still under Zhao Yun's nose.
The consequences of disobedience, before the Dragon Boat Festival, someone had already used their wealth and life to show them how it would end.
There is nothing more intimidating than watching a family that has had dealings with them in the past have their fort destroyed overnight.
