After Liu Mingzhi threw away the nut shell in his hand, he turned his head and glanced at the group of generals who immediately admitted their mistakes after standing up, and waved their hands casually in annoyance again.
Young Master Liu had long been completely immune to their behavior of being confused at every turn and knowing they were wrong at every turn.
"Okay, okay, one by one, you guys should stop fooling me with this set of tricks.
Don't forget that I, the young master, had the same status as you, a minister.
I have used this trick myself, Master Ben, and I don’t know how many times I have used it to fool me. You guys are so embarrassed to tell me.
Come on, everyone, stop standing and keep sitting."
Zhang Kuang, Yun Chong, Cheng Kai and the other generals listened to Liu Dashao's angry words. After looking at each other with resentful expressions, they all nodded with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Liu Mingzhi pinched open an almond and threw it into his mouth, he gently chewed the delicious almond in his mouth while slightly lowering his head and pouting at the paperwork on the desk.
"Two uncles, regarding the regulations of the United Chamber of Commerce, just follow what I just said, young master, and relax it a little bit appropriately."
When Zhang Kuang heard what Young Master Liu said, he paused while sipping tea. Then he quickly raised his head and looked at Young Master Liu, who was eating almonds.
"His Majesty."
Nangong Ye also quickly stopped eating oranges and subconsciously raised his head to cast his gaze on Young Master Liu.
"His Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi swallowed the almond in his mouth, glanced down at Zhang Kuang and the other two, then directly picked up the tea he had poured on the table and brought it to his mouth to take a sip.
"If you two have anything to say, just say it. Who comes first?"
"Brother Zhang, you come first."
Zhang Kuang nodded slightly, looked at Young Master Liu and said loudly: "Your Majesty, today is the day you and Krich agreed before to formally finalize the establishment of a joint chamber of commerce.
The old minister guessed that in all likelihood, Kerridge would be waiting for news from us as soon as dawn.
If I were to renegotiate the specific charter for establishing the Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry, it would take at least an hour or so to come up with a result.
It may even take longer.
Even I cannot guarantee that the result of our renegotiation will be satisfactory to Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, in order not to delay business.
Therefore, why don't you just tell me directly how far the regulations for establishing the Chamber of Commerce should be relaxed?
Your Majesty, please speak while I wait here to take notes.
Then, I will prepare a new document as quickly as possible.
In this way, the main focus is a quick victory.
Your Majesty, I have finished expressing my thoughts, what do you think?"
As soon as the words in Zhang Kuang's mouth fell, Nangong Ye next to him immediately echoed loudly.
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal."
Immediately afterwards, Wanyan Chizha, Yunchong, Yeluha and other generals also immediately spoke up and loudly echoed.
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal."
Seeing this, Liu Mingzhi shook his head gently with a look of helplessness, and then directly put the teacup in his hand back on the table.
"My young master, the first question I just asked you is to be treated as loosely as possible as we said before.
As for the second question, I only have one idea.
That is, no matter which caravan comes from any country in the Western countries, as long as they are willing to join the United Chamber of Commerce, they will be allowed to join.
As for the intensity of review, you can just relax it to the lowest level.
You can relax as much as you can for me.
In short, as long as they can produce evidence that they are a caravan, they can be allowed to join the United Chamber of Commerce."
After listening to what Young Master Liu said, the expressions on the faces of a large group of generals changed one after another.
"Your Majesty, this! This! Isn't this a little too loose?"
"Your Majesty, I second my opinion that the regulations you mentioned are indeed too loose.
I dare to say something that may not be pleasant to the ears, but if we follow your Majesty’s instructions, what difference does it make whether we have drafted this charter or not?”
"Your Majesty, if we act like this, won't we obviously allow other countries to take advantage of the loopholes?"
"Your Majesty, think twice before you act, think twice before you act!"
"I second my opinion and ask your Majesty to think twice before proceeding."
"Your Majesty, I dare to say something like this..."
Young Master Liu glanced at the large group of generals in front of him who were scrambling to give advice, and immediately frowned angrily.
Immediately, he placed the Wanli Jiangshan jade fan directly on the table, then raised his hand and slapped it hard on the table.
There was a muffled bang.
The chaotic chatter outside the palace door stopped abruptly in an instant.
The expressions on the faces of a large group of major generals suddenly became nervous.
After Liu Mingzhi took a few deep breaths, he picked up the jade fan on the table, turned back to his rocking chair, and lay down on the rocking chair again.
Immediately, he threw away the jade fan in his hand, frowned slightly and fanned the cool breeze vigorously against his chest.
"Careful work, careful work, open your mouth to speak carefully of other countries. What I said to you before, this young master, you didn't hear all of it, right?"
All of you, please listen to me, young master, and I will tell you again, what other countries entered was a joint caravan, and it has nothing to do with the military camp controlled by you generals."
As Young Master Liu spoke in a deep voice, he suddenly raised his finger and pointed at Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Wan Yan Chi Zha, Ye Ye Ha, Yun Chong and the others, old foxes, and gave them a few weak nods.
"Uncles, you two."
"Uncle, you."
"My young master's senior, you."
"Uncle, you."
"You old guys, you are all quite young, right?
Back when you were all still in the capital of our Great Dragon Kingdom, you were playing with your brains with the civil servants above the court who were well-read in poetry and books. Aren't you all quite smart?
How come today, everyone has become so stupid?"
Wanyan was awesome and arrogant. Yun Chong and the others, who were more shrewd than the old foxes, listened to Young Master Liu's unhappy tone and hurriedly punched Young Master Liu in unison.
"I know I made a mistake, and please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Seeing Zhang Kuang, Yeluha and the others performed this trick on themselves again where everything was their fault, Liu Mingzhi's eyes suddenly flashed with a clear sense of helplessness.
Alas! These old foxes!
Liu Mingzhi sighed secretly in his heart, then took out the small pillow from behind his waist and placed it under his neck.
"Uncle, uncle, uncle, why don't you think about it carefully?
Let’s not talk about whether there will be products from other countries joining the Joint Chamber of Commerce.
If you think about it carefully, even if there are agents from other countries who have secretly joined the United Chamber of Commerce, then the prerequisite for them to join the United Chamber of Commerce is naturally that they must join the United Chamber of Commerce as a businessman!
Since they join the United Chamber of Commerce as a merchant, it means that they must provide batches of goods from time to time.
For the United Chamber of Commerce, what is the goods? The goods are yellow gold coins and white silver coins!
The worst thing is the yellow copper coins!
You need to know that after the Joint Chamber of Commerce is established, you will receive several percent dividends.
If the United Chamber of Commerce makes money, won’t you also make money?
By the same token, if the United Chamber of Commerce earns more and more money, doesn’t it mean that the dividends you receive will also increase?
As for the issue of other countries secretly inquiring about information, if they want to inquire, then you can just let them do it. What can they do?
The United Chamber of Commerce is for doing business, no matter how much information they gather, they can only get some information related to the caravans of various countries."
As soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking, he felt his mouth was dry and he immediately raised his hand and snapped his fingers at Liu Song, who was standing two steps away.
"Liu Song, tea."
"yes."
Liu Song quickly walked to the table, picked up Young Master Liu's tea cup and trotted to his young master's side.
"Master, tea."
After Master Liu took the tea cup, he put it straight into his mouth.
As half a cup of warm tea entered his throat, Mr. Liu instantly felt that his dry throat felt much better.
Immediately, he raised his hand and handed the bottomed tea cup to Liu Song.
"Na."
"yes."
Young Master Liu wiped the water from the corner of his mouth twice with his fingers, opened his mouth and let out a long sigh of relief, then with a smile on his face, he again focused his gaze on the old foxes like Zhang Kuang and Wan Yan.
"In addition to the situations I just mentioned, young master, there is another most critical issue.
Don’t forget, who is under the control of Dashi and Tianzhu now?
I want to put it bluntly, young master. Isn’t it up to you to decide what kind of information those spies secretly sent by other countries can gather?
Even after they find out some information, will they be able to share the information?
In the end, isn’t that just a matter of your words?”
As Liu Mingzhi spoke, he first pinched a nut and threw it into his mouth. Then he raised his finger and pointed back and forth at the generals in front of him.
"All of you here are two commanders-in-chief of the armed forces, two deputy commanders-in-chief, and two governors-general of the armed forces.
The rest are either generals of soldiers and horses from each guard camp, or generals from each department and camp.
As the art of war goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be invincible in a hundred battles.
The plank road was built openly and the warehouse was built secretly.
Such a typical way of military law, you generals, big and small, shouldn’t not understand it, right?”
As soon as Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, he took a puff of the dry smoke he had just lit with a smile.
"Young Master, I just don't understand. It's obviously a matter of great benefit and no harm, but why do you all become so fearful in your hearts?
Is it that it is difficult to collect the dividends given to you by the United Chamber of Commerce? Or is it difficult to use the opposite methods developed by other countries?"
Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chiezha and the other generals looked at each other in confusion after listening to the helpless remarks made by Master Liu.
Frankly speaking, these major generals, big and small, are all masters who are well versed in the art of using troops.
Looking at the entire world, there are only a handful of people who can compare with them in terms of military skills.
The plank road was built openly and the warehouse was built secretly.
With such a classic way of using troops, how could they, the main generals who have experienced hundreds of battles, not be clear about it?
However, they never expected it.
This kind of military strategy can actually be applied to business matters.
Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Yun Chong and the others looked at each other for a few times, and finally all looked at Young Master Liu with strange eyes.
In the past, if I didn't think about this issue, I wouldn't think it was a big deal.
However, when Mr. Liu put many problems in front of him with a look of helplessness, they all reacted belatedly in their hearts.
At this moment, they truly realized how dirty Liu Dashao, who was lying on the rocking chair with a smile and a kind look on his face, was in front of them.
I and others talked here and there for a long time, giving all kinds of advice.
Co-author, Your Majesty, he has long been far-sighted and has a thorough understanding of many things that will happen in the future.
In an instant, many generals were muttering secretly in their hearts.
If Young Master Liu took the initiative to reveal many of his plans in front of himself and others, he would be afraid that he and others would be betrayed by His Majesty, and he would help him count the money with a cheerful look on his face, right?
Business, military affairs, people's livelihood and official administration.
Many things that were obviously unrelated to each other at the beginning, finally came together into a single line under his planning and operation.
Moreover, this line connects flawlessly.
One ring after another, one ring within another.
Eventually, they were linked together to form a big circle.
Many people who have no idea what is going on and have no connection at all are gathered in this circle.
Moreover, it is still the kind of circle that you obviously don’t want to gather together, but you have to gather together.
