Seeing Jiang Chuhan's sudden question, Gu Yanwu had a bottom in his heart, and he already knew all the situation in Jiangnan, and he didn't think about it at the moment, and said loudly: "The commercial department buys low-priced commodities at low prices, stores the goods, and sells them at low prices when the prices fluctuate.
After many years, it is true that today, buying low and selling low, and the people who produce the products are willing to sell to the commercial department, who is not willing to do such a business that does not worry about sales?
In this way, on the contrary, those serious firms, after such a toss by the Department of Commerce, can do business. ”"Imagination, sir."
Gu Yanwu paused for a moment and continued: "The profit of the business is to buy low and sell high, and sell things from the east to the west.After this accumulation of efforts, the profit of the firm has been decreasing year by year, and the number of goods received has also been greatly reduced.In this way, on the contrary, those who are engaged in production are forced to sell all the goods to the commercial department.Although it is cheap, it is much better than rotting at home and getting moldy. ”"Hmm."
Jiang Chuhan couldn't help but nodded, Gu Yanwu's explanation was more appropriate and in line with reality than his own understanding.In fact, businessmen can make money, which is not conducive to the commercial development of the country, but the commercial department is still subordinate to the court after all.Jiang Chuhan thought slightly, in Jiang Chuhan's memory, during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Chengzu twice personally conquered Mobei Yongle in the seventh year of 1409 and the twelfth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty in 1414, in these two wars, the Ming Dynasty became the winner of the war, but there were many casualties, and the amount of grain and grass materials consumed was not counted, which made the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, which was originally rich, slowly become empty.Jiang Chuhan thought wildly, and suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart, and shook his head secretly.Maybe all this is just my own willing conjecture, for Jiangnan, the current matter, it is better to urgently solve it.After thinking about it, Jiang Chuhan said slowly: "Therefore, the pricing power, in the hands of businessmen, is the key to this competition!"
”Gu Yanwu thought about it for a while, his face showed a little doubt, and he had to hurriedly say, "What's the point of fixing the price?"
However, they are all priced according to the fluctuation of goods, if the quantity of goods is sufficient, the price will be much cheaper, and if the quantity of goods is scarce, it will naturally be much more expensive. ”"Definitely."
Jiang Chuhan smiled faintly and said, "If the official thinks from the perspective of the government, the pricing power must be handed over to the government.However, if you think about it from a neutral point of view, then the pricing power has to be handed over to the businessman.Otherwise, how can it compete with the Commercial Division?
”"Just imagine."
Jiang Chuhan thought for a while and said slightly: "If the government has the final say on commodity prices, no matter how huge the market fluctuations are, they can't rise or fall privately at all, think about it, what kind of situation will happen?"
”Gu Yanwu thought about it for a while, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly said: "Commercial prices are stable, and the government is in the middle to regulate and control, which is also very beneficial to the development of commerce, however, if it is regulated by a yamen like the Department of Commerce, it will inevitably make Jiangnan commerce fall into an ice cellar!"
”"Therefore, in the current situation, it is inevitable that the pricing power cannot be handed over to the government, but in the hands of businessmen, and a business gang will be established to jointly maintain price stability, and the pricing power will be in the hands of the business gang, and all businessmen will advance and retreat together, and at the same time purchase a large area of goods in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the commercial department can make profits, at that time, even the commercial department will be helpless."
Jiang Chuhan smiled slightly, and said the plan he had planned in his heart.Gu Yanwu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed: "What do you mean, is it to set up a merchant gang?"
”Gu Yanwu's face suddenly showed a hint of ecstasy, and he hurriedly said: "In this way, the business in Jiangnan will inevitably stabilize immediately.Pricing powerPricing power, you're a genius!
Why didn't the ancients think of any of them?
”Jiang Chuhan smiled bitterly in his heart, pricing power, in fact, to make it clear, is a manifestation of trade dominance.Jiang Chuhan's set of methods is only one of the main means and methods of economic attack on other countries from the major powers of China and Europe in later generations.In Jiang Chuhan's memory, in the 21st century, more than 400 years later, whoever controls the pricing power will have the leading power in trade, and whoever will be able to lead the economic trend of the entire international community!
The importance of pricing power in the economic world of the 21st century is self-evident.However, in the Ming Dynasty, there was no awareness of pricing power.Jiang Chuhan only had a deep wry smile."
That's right!"
Jiang Chuhan smiled slightly, and then said slowly: "It's just that I'm an official, and it's inconvenient for me to come forward to do these other things, so the first thing that needs to be solved at the moment is money, and second, that is, an agent. ”Gu Yanwu was silent for a while, and suddenly asked out slowly: "Gu Yanwu doesn't understand, in fact, there is no need for adults to take care of the business in Jiangnan, the adults are officials for the imperial history, and they have done so many things on behalf of the heavens, Gu Yanwu doesn't understand, why do you say so?"
”Gu Yanwu bent down deeply and said slowly.Falling in Jiang Chuhan's ears, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and after a long time, he sighed slightly, and said lightly: "It's just for the sake of the world." ”"Dachang in the world" Gu Yanwu chewed slowly.Now that the plan has been decided, the two simply chatted about some minor side details, and had a profound discussion about the upcoming plan.Jiang Chuhan suddenly discovered that the current Gu Yanwu was indeed a rare talent!
Cautious, has a clear grasp of current affairs, not to mention, for the people's livelihood of the various policies, also has a very unique insight and understanding.Looking at Gu Yanwu who was sitting in front of him, in an instant, Jiang Chuhan suddenly flashed a thought in his mind that even Jiang Chuhan himself couldn't imagine: "Gu Yanwu, if he enters the government in the future, he will definitely enter the prime minister, occupy a high position, and benefit all the people!"
But what is recorded in the historical materials is that Gu Yanwu has never been in officialdom in his life, and he is just concentrating on learning, perhaps because he has seen officialdom too thoroughly, right?
”When Jiang Chuhan was distracted, Gu Yanwu was also trying his best to think about how to work with Jiang Chuhan to put the business situation in Jiangnan in order and become regular!
The two of them talked like this, and before they knew it, it was already dark, Jiang Chuhan moved his aching body, and wanted to leave Gu Yanwu for a light meal, but Gu Yanwu insisted on repeatedly asking for resignation and resolutely not keeping the meal, Jiang Chuhan laughed and let Gu Yanwu go back.After finishing a relatively simple light meal, Yun Fuji of Jinyiwei suddenly arrived, Jiang Chuhan hurriedly wiped his mouth full of residues, hurriedly went out to greet him, and then welcomed Yun Fuji in, and started a secret conversation again.This time, Yun Fuji just brought Jiang Chuhan a piece of news, that is, a reply about the assessment of Jiangnan officials.As early as earlier, Jiang Chuhan personally repaired a book, wrote a letter in his crooked font and handed it to Jinyiwei, and then Jinyiwei rushed it for 800 miles, and urgently sent it to the capital and handed it over to Yang Sichang, Luo Yangxing and others.Jiang Chuhan's meaning was not to expound his own views, believing that the current matter should not be rushed, so as to prevent the Jiangnan officialdom from mutiniing and causing a shock to the government and the opposition.What's more, even if it is for the sake of prestige, you can't all send people into the eighteenth layer of hell and dismiss all officials.In fact, Gu Yanwu's point of view was quoted, and Xu Tu slowed down.This time, the news brought by Yun Fuji was a reply from those people in Gyeonggi to Jiang Chuhan's actions, and this reply was also in line with Jiang Chuhan's thoughts.The news brought by Yun Fuji did not have any paper, just a faint word: "Accurate!"
”The dignitaries in Gyeonggi don't eat rice completely.can be a first- or second-class member of the imperial court, and a few people will be a straw bag.It seems that those officials in Gyeonggi have also thought deeply about Jiang Chuhan's early autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and Xu Tu's slow progress is a method of hiding needles in Mianli.What's more, the matter of Liwei has already worked, although Jiang Chuhan has not made any measures against officials above the fourth grade in Jiangnan, however, Jiang Chuhan is ruthless for officials below the fourth grade, and he has swept away a large number of corrupt officials like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves!
While Jiang Chuhan was repairing the book to Luo Yanghe and Yang Sichang, who had never met before, he also wrote an excerpt at the same time, which was handed to the Son of Heaven through normal channels.After Jiang Chuhan counted them carefully, there were more than eighty officials below the fourth grade swept down with a stroke of the pen!
Suddenly dismissed more than 80 officials, which was unique in the Ming Dynasty since the founding of the country, and it was unique in the past years, and this time, it was in the entire Jiangnan and the entire Gyeonggi that exploded.The dismissal of more than 80 officials is quite similar to the vacancy of more than 80 official positions at once, and these positions have also been raised by Luo Yang through the channels of Emperor Chongzhen, all of whom belong to Jinyiwei, and they went to Jiangnan to be officials!
At this moment, the East Factory can be regarded as a big loss of vitality.
