Mr. Leng looked at the notice at the door of the freight yard and was stunned for a while before saying, "What does it mean to buy furs in the yard and sell them privately?"

The person next to him said, "I heard that in the past, merchants used to trade privately, and there were many people who evaded taxes. The yamen came up with this method. All transactions must be followed by the yamen's yamen, otherwise they will not be allowed to trade."

When Du Zhongxiao set up a freight yard, he did not arrange special fangs, mainly traded directly between merchants and merchants. Since it was spot trading, there was no accident. Now that the exchange was about to open an exchange, the previous business model was not possible, and the benefits of fangs were revealed. Now fangs are equivalent to brokers in exchanges in their previous lives, and were directly controlled by the government.

Mr. Leng said: "I have a legal business and have always evaded taxes. How could I encounter such a thing? From now on, all I buy and sell is too much or less taxes? Is there any clear explanation?"

"The notice is clear, the tax remains unchanged, but the Teenager will charge some commission."

Mr. Leng shook his head and walked towards the yard. He couldn't figure out why the government suddenly changed it to this. His previous business was not big, until he built the yard with other people from the United Guild not long ago and was careless, but encountered this change.

When he arrived at the cargo yard, he was about to meet Hong Futong, who was a tanning guild, hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Uncle, have you seen the notice posted outside the cargo yard?"

Hong Futong shook his head: "I have so many things every day, and I don't have the leisure time to walk around, so where can I read the notice."

Mr. Leng said: "Oh, I don't know what the government is thinking. In the future, fur transactions in the cargo yard will have to go through the yamen and pay a commission."

After hearing this, Hong Futong asked in detail, stamped his feet and cursed: "It must be the one in the yamen who saw that we made some money and felt jealous. He came up with this way to torture us! I pity you and I have built such a workshop, and many craftsmen are here to do the work."

Mr. Leng was stunned for a moment and said, "No, you don't buy and sell fur, what do you have to do with you if you change it?"

Hong Futong slapped his head: "Yes, it has nothing to do with us! Others come to us to tannate furs, but the wages are not small. How do they sell it? Look at me, I'm so busy lately that I just talk nonsense."

As soon as he figured it out that he had nothing to do with him, Hong Futong felt better again and pulled Leng Yuanwai: "Mr., now the tanning shed has been completely built, and they are all built according to the shed in the yamen, exactly the same. Just wait until tomorrow, people can get together, and come to tan. Last time you said that there were more than a dozen merchants going to Yanmen Village to sell raw skin together. When will they come back?"

Mr. Leng had something to do, so Wuxin and Hong Futong went to see the shed and said, "I will be back in the next few days, just prepare. Since the shed is built first, you can take on other businesses, and we will be paid at that time."

Hong Futong said happily: "I have already taken the goods from two merchants. You don't know, when we were still under construction a few days ago, there were foreign merchants here, and you should know when we started construction. In addition to the official, you did the right thing to build this factory with us. Now in Bingzhou City, you are not worried about no business."

Mr. Leng responded casually and said, "Mr. Hong, since the factory is busy, go back and stare. I went there to find Kongmu and asked him what it means to do in the future business. This matter is not a trivial matter to me."

After saying goodbye to Hong Futong, Leng Yuanwai went to the factory in the government and found Qi Kongmu directly.

After saying the ceremony, Leng Yuanwai said: "Kongmu, I saw that the list was revealed outside, saying that the future fur transactions would be handled by Yaman, and merchants were not allowed to sell them privately. Why don't you discuss such a big thing with our guild? This is not good."

Qi Kongmu said: "What are you discussing? I just learned about it. This matter was decided by the prefect, just do it."

After hearing this, Leng Yuanwai couldn't help but complain: "How could the magistrate's husband take care of this kind of thing? I just negotiated a business with a few customers from Zhongyuan. What should I do? If I don't do business with them, wouldn't I lose my trust!"

Qi Kongmu said: "Who said you are not allowed to do business? Just do it as you negotiated, but you have to go through the Yaren. After your buyer and seller have agreed, which Yaren dares to ruin the business? Do you do not care about it when you are a yamen?"

Mr. Leng thought about this, so he didn't mention this matter. He came to Kongmu and whispered: "Kongmu, you are a member of the yamen. You always know something that we ordinary people don't know. Let's talk about it, what does it mean to set up a tooth in the cargo yard this time? I always feel that if the government does not get the benefits, it shouldn't be too much."

Qi Kongmu sighed, and was so entangled by Leng's wife that he could not help, and said, "I heard that it is true. I believe it or not. In recent days, our reputation in the fur business in Bingzhou has spread, and merchants from all over the world have come. But there are too many merchants but not enough money, which is inevitable that it is troublesome. For example, merchants from Beijing like to bring tea the most. Everyone brings tea to Bingzhou, and the tea price will fall. When their tea price drops, they will not be able to buy the expected amount of fur. There are other furs and silk, all of which are the same. If this continues, how can this business last? Now the freight yard must be traded with a tooth, which means that all the goods brought by merchants will be listed, not only traded fur, but also the goods can be exchanged for the existence and absence of them. Through the cooperation between the two, the prices will not rise and fall, so that the business will be easier to do."

Mr. Leng nodded, thoughtfully and said, "Kongmu said this, which makes sense. We merchants all buy raw skin from Yanmen Village and then bring cooked skin back to sell. I also think that there is always a limit on raw skin in the north. One cooked skin is exchanged for two or three raw skins, and the number is not equal. There are always times when this business cannot be carried out. Only when other goods are done is the long-term solution."

First use the yamen to control all transactions, then build an exchange based on the yamen, and then let the merchant invest in orders, and the numbers on the exchange books are used as currency, and the various goods they have mastered are used as collateral. Du Zhongxiao wanted to use this method to form an industrial chain for the fur business, which can continue to grow and not be in chaos. Otherwise, according to the current trading method, returning from the Khitan's raw skin and then selling cooked skin will soon cause too much cooked skin and insufficient raw skin, causing disasters in the Khitan. At that time, from the Bingzhou government to the people, a bunch of fur will be accumulated, and the price plummeted, and the business will be in vain. There must be enough trading materials added to this commercial chain to grow healthily.

One of the reasons for this business is so troublesome. Fur is a cross-border trade. Both Song and Khitan have imposed many restrictions on trade for their own interests. For example, neither country allows gold, silver, copper coins and grain to be exported. The Khitan prohibits selling the most popular materials and horses, while the Song Dynasty prohibits the export of iron and military-related materials. Bingzhou cannot attract other transactions such as incense and medicine to the city, so the business cannot be done big.
