As soon as Zheng Qi spoke, the businessmen present began to talk to each other, and the seating order of these merchants was arranged according to their wealth and strength, which had long become a habit in the Chamber of Commerce.
A little old man sitting next to Zheng Qi read his beard unhurriedly, his eyes revealing shrewdness.
"Big nephew, aren't you too impulsive?"
The old man said lightly.
"It's just 10,000 gold, it's all small money, does Uncle Xue want to give up such a good opportunity, that is the honor list of good merchants in the Tang Dynasty, once it is recognized by the imperial court, it will be of infinite use to future generations."
Zheng Qi said.
The old man read his beard and said unhurriedly: "Who said that the old man is going to miss this opportunity." ” Then I heard the old man say to Yuan Shan: "Old man, Xue Kai, I have some money, since the court gives us businessmen such an opportunity, how can we miss it, the old man is willing to give 20,000 gold." ” The businessman's eyelids jumped and this opening was 20,000 gold, this Xue family attaches more importance to this matter than the Zheng family, and they all see the opportunity inside, and then they heard many businessmen say: "My Wei family is willing to pay 5,000 taels of gold." ” "My Zhao family is willing to give 5,000 taels of gold" "And my Shi family." “” In an instant, the scene became lively, but it was also on the verge of collapse, and the three of them, Yuan Shan, Hao Dayi, and Liu Tong, who were sitting in the middle of the work, suddenly found that the situation did not seem to be good.
At this moment, there are more than 20 companies that say they want to invest money, the lowest is 5,000 taels of gold, he sold so many candles to make up 13,400 taels of gold, these people opened their mouths is 5,000 taels, and they said in their hearts that this is the real local tyrant.
"Master Hou, it can't go on like this, now that it's calculated, the amount of money said by the twenty-five people who are doing it has been as high as 145,000 taels of gold, and if you use the money of the imperial court as a subsidy, I'm afraid it's not even a fraction of it."
Hao Dayi, a member of the Jin Ministry, whispered to Yuan Shan.
"Master Hou, the current situation has been four times more than the original reclamation land, judging from the inspection materials given by Her Royal Highness the Princess, the manpower and material resources cannot dare to complete the reclamation during the cotton planting period, how should this be good."
Liu Tong, a member of Tuntian, whispered on the side.
Now this problem is all pushed to Yuan Shan, who made him the supervisor, although he is not an official, but this is a specific position, and in an instant Yuan Shan took out the momentum of being a leader.
"All of you here are my Datang business elites, and their families are solid, but the current situation is that the imperial court needs to dare to complete the reclamation of the land before cotton planting, so the land formulated is only 10,000 hectares, so the number of places in this declaration is limited, and it may not be able to meet everyone's requirements, so the number of people on the list is also limited" Yuan Shan said here, the faces of the businessmen present were a little ugly, this is not easy to get a chance, if you miss it, it is a pity, money is a number for the big businessmen, It's not impossible to take out tens of thousands of taels of gritted teeth, and some businessmen are already ready to give it a go.
Then I heard Yuan Shan continue: "But everyone here still has a chance, but it's not impossible. ” "Master Hou, is there any other way to get on the honor list of Datang businessmen, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
A businessman has decided to make the list even if he grits his teeth.
"This is simple, that is, to reclaim the land together, and when the scale of cotton planting in the coming year meets the reward requirements of the project, it can also be on the list, and if the cotton is planted in advance before that, the imperial court will also recycle it."
Yuan Shan said.
Flicker, Yuan Shan was a little frightened, even if there were 10,000 hectares of cotton planted in the first batch, the total amount of money recovered might require nearly 50,000 taels of gold, which was a lot of money.
What's more, when the cotton is harvested, Li Yuan may not be responsible for this matter, and at that time, Yuan Shan's mood at this time can only express a smile.
Then the merchants began to invest again, this time there were more merchants than just now, and more than 30 people gathered in the hall on the third floor, and there were many follow-ups.
The three Yuan Shan sitting on the main seat became the audience again, and the enthusiasm of the businessmen was unimaginable, and they didn't pay attention to business at all in their conversations, and all they talked about was the impact of the Datang Merchant Honor Roll on their businessmen.
The businessmen who came later were all old men, and their expressions were much calmer than those of the rich people present.
"Who are those people, why are they here now?"
Yuan Shan asked Hao Dayi in a low voice, he was an official in charge of finance, and he knew more about these rich businessmen.
"Those people are the elders of the major chambers of commerce, and their words are full of weight."
Hao Dayi introduced on the side.
When Yuan Shan heard this, he said that it was a member of the Sensible Council who came, and it seemed that these businessmen were more focused on the honor roll than they were eager to make money.
Many of the merchants seem to have come to this place as their home, and they have all started to discuss it.
Now this hall is the same as the vegetable market, Yuan Shan is also helpless, he can't hear his own words clearly, where is the leisure to meet those people, don't get up early and haven't eaten breakfast, now he is very hungry.
"Master Hou, what are we going to do now?"
Hao Dayi asked in a low voice.
Needless to say, wait and see what happens, otherwise what do you call this Hou Ye, Yuan Shan felt that this Hao Dayi was still not calm enough, it seemed that he still needed to experience, so he said: "Let them discuss it first, this Hou Ye is hungry, go and ask someone to get something to eat." ” Hao Dayi was speechless, but he still asked people to prepare food, and at the same time, Yuan Shan habitually grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the pocket of his underwear, put them on the table, and began to swallow them.
This move was clearly seen by Li Xiuning in the small room, and secretly scolded: "This Yuan Shan, when did this turn out to be so casual, if it ruins the good things of this palace, don't blame this palace for being polite." ” "Sneeze" The audience fell silent.
A sneeze instantly freezes, how powerful it is.
"Guys go on, there is still an hour before the Marquis will get off work, don't worry."
Yuan Shanfeng said lightly.
"Master Hou, as long as you are willing to let us participate, even if you don't subsidize it, we are willing."
Several businessmen shouted.
Then some merchants who are less than the top and more than the bottom are shouting out one after another, all of them don't need subsidies to join, just to be able to get on the honor list.
It seems that they have suffered a loss, but in fact, once these people are on the honor list of the imperial court's methods, then the credibility of their businessmen will reach another height, and Yuan Shan also said before that if there is such a good thing to make money in the future, he will give priority to them to join, isn't this just a matter of profit, how can he not make money.
Then things got out of hand, for the big businessmen they still value this project very much, and planting cotton is also exempt from half of the tax, if it is 10,000 hectares of land, the profit is very considerable.
Soon the elders of the Chamber of Commerce began to discuss, and then directly bid 40,000 taels of gold to contract the project.
The elders of the Chamber of Commerce are really wealthy, and this beckoning is united, and the power of this Chamber of Commerce should not be underestimated.
Yuan Shan saw everything in his eyes, but is such a large-scale contract really good, so he simply said: "It's no problem for the Chamber of Commerce to jointly fund the planting of cotton, but according to the requirements of the decree, this is not eligible and there will be no subsidy, but if the declared planting indicators can be completed, cotton planting can be exempted from tax for one year, and the imperial court will also purchase it." ” Hao Dayi, a member of the Jin Department on the side, was sweating on his head, and when he heard Yuan Shan's words, this is an unauthorized change of the decree, this is definitely the rhythm of death.

Yuan Shan suddenly felt that someone was tugging at his clothes, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Hao Dayi, and saw that his head was sweating, but he didn't understand what the other party was going to do.
"Master Hou, it's not appropriate at this time, you need to revise the decree" Hao Dayi muttered quietly, but he was directly interrupted by Yuan Shanjie halfway through his words.
Ignoring him completely, this is called a grievance in Hao Dayi's heart, and he doesn't know how to report to the court now.
Acting cheaply, these four words are not written in vain, since you are willing to contribute money and effort to meet the planting standards, then why not agree, I don't know if Li Shimin still blocked the emperor and would not oppose it because this was what he wanted to do, but how could he miss the opportunity at this time, so he decided to open the pit.
