Chapter 319: Business Reorganization
When he left the mosque, the imam had already led the believers to kneel down a large area. Ulutus did not ask them to get up, nor did he say another word to them.
In his heart, the matter of Huitong Trading Bank made him care more. After all, the three major trading banks are all under the royal family, both in name and actual. Therefore, compared with the workshops affiliated to the Ministry of Works, the three major trading banks have a higher invisible status.
It doesn't seem surprising if there is a situation of being arrogant and doing good deeds. But I always feel uncomfortable when I see my things rotting and turning black.
Li Tongzhi followed along the way, and when he saw that Ulutus did not take the initiative to speak, he did not dare to say much. In terms of his first impression, he came to the prefect's office in Busan.
This is because when Busan was built, the prefectural government office was the first building here. After Busan became a provincial governor, it was overhauled and expanded. Many government agencies in Gangnam provinces settled here, including the government departments in Gyeongju Prefecture and Busan County, which also handled official duties here.
Therefore, the yamen was generally divided into four main areas. Three were provincial, provincial and county-level government agencies, and the last one was the residence of the main officials.
Since the current governor of Jiangnan Province has not yet taken office, everything here is temporarily represented by the prefect Li Tongzhi. Ulutus's palace is also arranged in the backyard of the yamen, with a large yard of five in and five out, with many rooms.
Ulutus looked at the yamen. Although it looked very grand in appearance and the decoration inside was very new, it did not make extravagant moves. Overall, it was still within compliance with regulations.
The yard he arranged for looked elegant, but not extravagant. This coincides with the thrifty style that Ulutus has always advocated.
Around the yamen are well-connected street markets.
It can be said that the construction of Busan City started with the Yamen and the port. At the beginning, considering the demand for land use by Yamen and the port, we deliberately distanced it. However, with the development, the port area and Yamen have long been connected, and have become the fastest-growing section, the highest land price and the most densely populated section.
Of course, although other places are not as good as this avenue, they have developed quite well. For example, academies, Imperial Hospitals, schools, Mongolian Bank branches, and commercial banks all gather near the yamen and ports, gradually broadening the development scope of Busan City.
In the yard, Ulutus did not rest as soon as possible. Instead, he asked Gu Wenbuhua to take his token and go find someone.
In new cities like Busan, there were secret guards stationed very early. And because of their proximity to Japan, it was still the secret guards branches of Goryeo and Japan.
Soon, I brought someone to the point of being warm.
"Minister Junichiro Nozawa pays homage to the king." The other party was wearing a common Japanese robe, wearing wooden clogs, and wearing a head of a tsukiyo. He was dressed as a typical Japanese merchant guard. He had a long sword on his waist, but when he entered the yard, he had been forced to remove all the weapons.
"Well! I heard Shi Ma Qianhu mention you. Although they are Japanese, their family suffered a great disaster in Japan. There are more than 20 people in the family, and only you and Yi Chi'er fled to Busan. You did a good job in the information about Tsuma. Previously, due to the Battle of Goryeo, there was a little turmoil here in Busan, and it was because of your merits in reporting that the disaster was eliminated. Now I am summoning you to ask if Huitong Trading Company is illegal?"
It was the first time that Junichiro Nozawa met the saint, and it was fake that he was not nervous. But he did not dare to lose his manners before the saint, so he could only feel uneasy. Listening to Ulutus's words, he first responded to "Lord Xie is worried." Then he thought about the Huitong Trading Company that he heard when he came, and immediately presented a thin book containing information about the big and small businesses.
"This book is to record illegal things done by large and small commercial banks in Busan Port. The records of Huitong Commercial Bank are described on page seven."
Ulutus opened in the sound, and was not the first to look at Huitong Trading Company. HSBC and Hui came to us all are still vivid in our minds. Although we look at this small place in Busan, there are many things that hide dirt. Almost all businesses have large and small smuggling crimes.
For the sake of a loose business environment, Ulutus doesn't care about this. However, when it comes to poaching the corners of the business bank, filling the private bags, secretly using inferior products as good ones, embezzling and abuse of the law, we must not ignore it.
Basically, none of the three major commercial banks are clean!
Among them, Huitong Trading Company's construction of a mosque in Busan is only an inconspicuous thing. Although it involves the transfer of interests to officials of the Religious Department, the forced purchase and sale of land use in Busan City, and the employment of Goryeo and Japanese workers, it is used as free laborers.
There is even a shopkeeper of the Busan branch of Huitong Trading Company who hired Japanese guards to spread the true gods to those around you and those close to you. He also called himself an imam, who looked like a local bishop. He would support his fellow believers in trade and even harm the interests of the trade. For pagans, he united with Hui Hui merchants and rejected and suppressed them.
Ulutus would never tolerate such obvious behavior of crossing the line.
"Okay! My business is becoming a missionary tool for burying out goods." Ulutus was so angry that he became ironic. Then he thought of something, and Junichiro Okinozawa said, "Do you have the evidence in this? I want to touch them, but I have to pay attention to the conclusive evidence."
"The people below are all staring at each other by the Lord and the ministers."
"Well! This matter is not only Busan, but also the prefectures and counties where these businesses are located, and the secret guard headquarters will take over the matter in person, so you can hand it over to them here. Now the matter between Horses and Japan is the top priority. If you do it well, you will be sure to do it here."
Listening to the important contribution, Junichiro Nozawa still felt a little disappointed. But then Ulutus added: "The commander of the secret guard Nozawa Junichiro of Busan is capable of doing things, and he is promoted to the commander of the secret guard of Gyeongju, and is awarded a purple robe, and is the fifth rank."
According to the current ranking of the ninth-rank officials in the Ming Dynasty, the fifth-rank official is considered a middle-level official. In addition to the regular rank, there are also the following grades, that is, the secondary level. So in fact, there are only eighteen levels.
"I thank the Lord for his great reward!" Hearing that he could be promoted, Junichiro Nozawa was immediately overjoyed and kowtowed and thanked him repeatedly.
Ulutus encouraged him a few more words before he let him retreat.
