Chapter 56 Chamber of Commerce

"I hope that the Weiganhua businessmen can form a chamber of commerce themselves."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was alarmed in an instant.

Everyone was shocked by these words and whispered to each other.

In recent years, Chinese merchants from Luzon gathered in Luzon for various reasons.

But out of vigilance against the people of the Luzon Tang,

The Spanish did not allow Chinese businessmen to form their own chambers of commerce.

Trade exchanges between Weigan and Huahua were carried out under the control of Weigan and Gansu Chamber of Commerce.

In recent years, Chinese businessmen worked hard to trade, especially the income from maritime trade, in addition to paying a considerable tax to the local Spanish in Luzon, they also had to share the income for the Chamber of Commerce.

However, Chinese businessmen have no status in the chamber of commerce.

At this moment, Liu Yu said that he would let the local Chinese businessmen in Weigan set up his own chamber of commerce, so how could he not make these businessmen excited?

"Sir, this is true." Zhao Tianming, the owner of the ship, looked at Liu Yu with his eyes lit up.

He operates ocean trade, with dozens of ships under his command and thousands of people following him for dinner.

Maritime trade itself is an extremely dangerous thing. Although it is profitable, whether it is a shipwreck or a pirate plunder, it can often make the fleet lose all its money.

The Spanish government and chamber of commerce in Luzon did nothing, but almost half of the interests were taken away.

However, people had to bow their heads under the roof. Faced with the exploitation of the Spanish and chamber of commerce, the Chinese businessmen had no choice but to secretly swallow the bitter fruit.

"Yes." Liu Yu nodded.

"If you join our Chamber of Commerce, your tax revenue will be reduced by half, and the Chamber of Commerce will only receive 10% of your income."

Hearing this sentence, businessmen were talking.

"Sir, please listen to me." Who? Old Zhao, who had not continued to speak, suddenly spoke and suppressed everyone's voices.

"The reason why I want to set up a chamber of commerce is to control the trade in Weigan and aim to develop maritime trade, right?" Mr. Zhao saw Liu Yu's plan at a glance.

"Yes," Liu Yu couldn't deny it.

Now that the pirate gang led by Xiao Wu and Li Tianyou besieged Lavag, the Spaniards were willing to gather all their troops to compete with Lavag City, which was why Liu Yu could easily take down Weigan.

But this does not mean that Liu Yu can rest assured.

The battle of Lavague is imminent, and whether it is the pirates or the Spaniards who win, Vigan will definitely become the winner's next target.

Due to the lack of a navy, Liu Yu and the soldiers in Huben Town were trapped in Weigan, and they had to gather all the forces that could be plundered.

Time waits for no one. During this period of time in Weigan, Liu Yu had to tie Weiganhua to his chariot in various ways.

The new chamber of commerce can not only integrate the resources of Weiganhua Businessmen, but also greatly facilitate the future development of maritime trade.

Although the Luzon waters were not peaceful at this time, the pirates and the Spaniards were fighting for control of the waters,

If it is not realistic to develop maritime trade at this time, it is necessary to prepare for the establishment of a chamber of commerce.

"You invite me to the banquet just to find out the Ming army's attitude towards Weigan and Huashang,"

"At this moment, I made it clear. Whether I am willing to enter the Chamber of Commerce or not, my Ming army will protect the safety of the people of the Luzon and Tang Dynasty. If I can join the Chamber of Commerce, I will naturally not treat you badly."

Liu Yu stood up and saw Liu Yu get up.

The merchants also knew that the banquet was about to end, so they stood up one after another.

"I'll give you time to discuss. If you think it's OK, you can go to Weigan Prefecture to find me or Su Langqing. If you think it's not possible, I'm afraid of angering the Weigan Chamber of Commerce, then I won't pursue it." Liu Yu bowed to everyone, turned around and left with his personal soldiers.

Wait until Liu Yu and his party leave,

The whole restaurant suddenly became silent,

The businessmen present did not discuss it in a verbal way as before, but looked at Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao, who was over 60 years old, was silent at this moment, just leaning on the peanuts on his own.

"Old Zhao, whether this chamber of commerce can be included in it or not, please make an idea." The impatient person stood up and asked.

"If you really join this chamber of commerce, wouldn't you be enemies of the Weigan Chamber of Commerce?"

"This Ming army has just arrived, and Weigan is still under the control of the Chamber of Commerce. If we do this, wouldn't we be excluded by Quan Weigan?"

"Yes, let alone if you really get on the pirate ship, what should you do if the Spanish kills them back?" Many people were talking, each with their own reasons.

"Boss Zhao, what do you think?" Old Zhao suddenly stared at Booss Zhao.

"The establishment of a chamber of commerce is undoubtedly the big deal. What do you think?" Mr. Zhao asked.

"Old Zhao, the reason why this chamber of commerce was established was probably because Ming Jun wanted to take advantage of this. After all, they did not control Weigan's wealth, and wanted to establish a chamber of commerce to control the property of Weigan Huashang." Zhao Tianming said slowly.

After hearing this, everyone nodded and greeted each other.

"But when we open a chamber of commerce, we can avoid the Viet Gan Chamber of Commerce to carry out maritime trade. One trip can save a lot of money. Not only maritime trade, but many industries are like this." Zhao Tianming naturally knew the pros and cons and explained what he thought was one by one.

"Old Zhao, do we agree?" Wang Li hurriedly asked.

He is a silk and porcelain trader, and naturally has close ties with the Zhao family fleet. If he set up a chamber of commerce to start a maritime trade, just avoiding the share of the money paid to the Weigan Chamber of Commerce can double Wang Li's income on a trip.

Everyone was moved at this moment, and they wanted to participate in a revenge from the Weigan Chamber of Commerce.

"Everyone, who is the biggest now?" Mr. Zhao suddenly spoke,

"Of course it's the Ming army," everyone said one after another.

"Who is the biggest in Luzon?"

Suddenly, everyone was speechless and stood there in a daze.

"The navy who failed to defeat the Spanish, how could it be said that it was a sea trade? It was just a big cake out of thin air." Old Zhao was shocked and shocked everyone to wake up.

yes,

This group of Ming troops only took Vigan while the Spanish retreated.

After the Spaniards wiped out the pirates in the nearby waters, they would naturally mobilize troops to re-occupy Weigan.

What chamber of commerce and what is the development of maritime trade? Under the threat of the Spanish warship, you will be able to carry out maritime trade safely.

Isn’t this a way out for death when entering the chamber of commerce by yourself?

The merchants present shook their heads,

Wang Li suddenly felt a slump in his heart and said, "Old Zhao refuses."

For a moment, everyone looked at Mr. Zhao again.

Mr. Zhao sighed,

He picked up the wine glass, and his skinny fingers slid between the wine glasses.

"Everyone, do you want to live?"

Suddenly, Mr. Zhao spoke in surprise.

"Luzon is the territory of the Spaniards after all. We are unwilling to go to Lavague and staying in Vigan has angered the Spaniards. If the Ming army is defeated, we will not have a way out." Old Zhao said coldly.

"This," everyone was in trouble.

It is true. They are worried that the Spaniards will use them to attack them, so they sneak back to Weigan. At this time, the Spaniards will never let them go.

They who were secretly staying in Luzon have no choice but to rely on the protection of the Ming army.

"The Marquis set up a chamber of commerce in fact to tie Weigan and even Luzon Chinese merchants together, and prosper and prosper together, and lose together."
