Hankyung.
In the inner city of the Upper West Quarter, a five-story high-rise building opened today.
Early in the morning, people kept sending flower baskets and buntings.
This five-storey high-rise building covers an extensive area and is located in a bustling area of the Upper West Side.
In this kind of prime location, this five-story building is extraordinarily expensive.
"Do you know what kind of store this is?"
many people stopped to watch when they passed by.
"I haven't heard of it, I guess it's a restaurant."
There is humanity.
A nearby shop owner also stood there to watch the excitement, "It's definitely not a restaurant, I guess it may be a restaurant, to be honest, this building has been decorated for a long time, but it's mysterious, and I still don't know what it does." ” "The signboard is still covered with red cloth, but when it opens today, I'll know what it does by then."
With more and more flower baskets sent, there are more and more people watching, because we have never seen a store open with so many people sending flower baskets, and literate people are there to read the name of the person who sent the flower basket above, which is even more shocking.
"Fumanlou presents flower baskets to celebrate" "Wow, this Fumanlou is Princess Yue's property."
"Lee Kee Money Village Presents Flower Basket" "Hey, Li Ji Qian Zhuang actually sent a flower basket to congratulate.
What the hell is this about?"
Bashang Li family, Luoyang eldest grandson's family, Jinan Qi family The eight nobles of Zhenguan have arrived, as well as the eight kings of the Xingtang Dynasty, the thirty-six heroes of Zhenguan, and the families of the important ministers of the dynasty, almost all of them sent flower baskets.
"It shouldn't be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's property," someone said softly.
"Impossible, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come to open any store, I estimate which prince's property it may be."
Soon, the flower baskets sent were no longer placed, and the colorful flags were also full.
Horse-drawn carriages began to arrive one after another, and all the heads of the firms with heads and faces in Beijing came down, as well as the shopkeepers of many famous merchants.
"Tut-tut, I really don't know who has such a big face."
There are many shops in Jingshi, and there are many trading houses.
Generally, there will be a guild in each industry, and there are leaders in the guild, and these guilds are organizations in the same industry, and they protect the interests of the entire industry, such as peer disputes, or unified prices, etc., and the guild is very helpful for practitioners in the industry.
Guilds are also the bandaning of merchants in these trades, electing representatives to deal with the government and fight for their own interests.
In recent years, the imperial court has relaxed the restrictions on industry and commerce, and even vigorously supported industry and commerce, which has made commerce prosperous, and various guilds have also grown a lot.
At the Sui period, there were 120 trades in Chang'an.
By this time, Hanjing's industry already had 480 lines.
The number of industries has quadrupled.
The expansion of the industry also fully illustrates the prosperity of industry and commerce at this time.
The large increase in the number of industries and the huge increase in the number of employees made the management of the imperial court complicated.
Therefore, it is also easier to manage these business practitioners by organizing them by industry.
For the sake of the interests of the industry, in order to deal with official errands, and at the same time protect the interests and business reputation of the bank, it is also necessary to establish a fellow traders' guild.
In this case, the industrial and commercial guilds in Hanjing have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The number has increased dramatically, from 120 lines in Chang'an in the Sui Dynasty to 480 lines in Hanjing today.
The guilds of Hanjing are divided into two categories, one is the handicraft guild and the other is the commercial guild.
The handicraft guilds were more of a manufacturing and processing industry, and they produced and processed various goods, such as gold and silver shops, blacksmith shops, etc.
Commercial guilds are industries that focus on buying and selling, such as fish, meat, and fruit.
The organization of the guild is very tight, and the chamber of commerce that enters the industry is called a bank or a pedestrian, and participates in the commercial bank and the investment bank.
The commercial bank protects and monopolizes the commercial interests of the local industry, and foreign businessmen are not allowed to trade in the market without investment banking.
Each line even has its own line, jargon, and outfit.
For example, the incense shop incense man, that is, the top hat and the back.
The pawnshop shopkeeper wears a soap shirt and a corner belt, and does not wear a hat or the like.
Pedestrians on the street can be recognized at a glance.
Each line even has its own grandmaster and its own community day, and when encountering some gods' birthdays, each line will present its own special tribute.
On some important festivals, activities are held to connect with peers.
The guild represents its peers to contact the government and undertakes business on behalf of the bank.

Internally, there is a unified price, a unified weights and measures, and restrictions on the competition of foreign merchants.
Guilds were a very powerful merchant organization in this era, and generally speaking, shops and merchants of the same industry in the city were also concentrated together.
The 480 lines of Hanjing also mean that there are more and more industry classifications today.
For the government, it is also easy to manage, and if there is something to do, go directly to the head of the bank, and they will pass it on to the merchants of the bank.
A new store opened today, and the elders of the first commercial banks in Hanjing came, which was shocking.
The leaders and elders of each guild are the largest merchants in the industry and the most prestigious.
Who has such a big face, so many industry leaders and veterans can come to cheer Cui Cong, the shopkeeper of Fumanlou Restaurant, got out of the carriage and immediately surrounded a group of leaders.
In the past few years, Cui Cong has become more and more obese, and his fat eyes are almost gone.
He has a big belly, a body of precious satin, and as the head of the Chang'an Restaurant Guild, the fat man is still very decent.
In particular, he is also the shopkeeper of Fumanlou, which is not only the first restaurant in the world, but also the property of Yue Wangfu.
"Cui Xingshou, I've been waiting for a long time."
Cui Cong also gave his hand to everyone, there are four hundred and eighty lines in Hanjing, so many guilds, Cui Cong does not know all of them.
But the ones on this side are all made of catering food, and they are all familiar with each other.
I usually have a lot of contacts, but I am no stranger to this time.
"Today is a grand event for our business community, how can I slack off."
Cui Cong said with a smile.
The leaders of the line looked at the magnificent five-story building, as well as the countless flower baskets and colored flags, and they were also very excited.
"Yes, such a big move, I really couldn't think of it before."
"I heard that the king of Yue will come in person in a while, but seriously," a line leader asked.
Cui Cong whispered mysteriously, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be here in person." ” "Oh my God, really" A group of businessmen were excited, the prince was coming, it was so faceless.
More people are still arriving, because there are too many people, and even alarmed the officials of Hanjing Mansion and Daxing County, the western part of Hanjing is under the jurisdiction of Daxing County, and Daxing County Order, the Gyeonggi County Commander of the Five Grades, even came in person to maintain order with the officials.
As soon as the merchants got out of their carriages, their carriages were immediately asked to leave.
There are so many cars that I can't stop at all.
"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may really come today."
The guilds of Hanjing actually include the suburbs of Hanjing.
Because Hanjing is too large, although it broke the separation of the fang market and formed the situation of a street market, Hanjing has a large population and developed industry and commerce.
There are still not so many merchants in the city, especially the processing and manufacturing industry, so many commercial towns have sprung up on the outskirts of Hanjing.
There are many workshops and other centers, and there are many specialized wholesale markets.
Today, the guilds of these suburban towns are also here.
In addition to the heads and elders of various guilds, there are also many well-known businesses in the capital.
"The big shopkeeper of Li Ji Qian Zhuang is here" "The shopkeeper of Bashang Distillery is here" It was almost noon, Li Chao and Prince Chengqian arrived, and as soon as they came from the carriage, countless merchants immediately bowed down.
No one told them to kneel, but the merchants all bowed to the prince.
In the past, merchants had a humble status, even if they were successful in business and wealthy, they also had a low status, either to the powerful, to the bureaucrats, or to the clans, otherwise it would be difficult for ordinary businessmen to gain a foothold.
But now it is different, the status of craftsmen and merchants has been greatly improved, and the imperial court has included workers and merchants in the good register, and there is no longer a merchant nationality.
Li Chao smiled and stepped aside, and Cheng Qian accepted everyone's kneeling.
"Everyone, please."
Cheng Qian coped with it very decently, without stage fright at all.
Hanjing Mansion Yin and a group of officials came up to greet him and welcomed Li Chao and Cheng Qian into the building.
"Today will be a day that will go down in history."
Li Chao smiled and said to Cheng Gan, today is the day of the establishment of the Datang Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and most people still don't understand how important this Chamber of Commerce and Industry is.
They just think it's fun to unite the guilds, but they don't understand what a big change this is.
The establishment of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry was promoted by Li Chao.
Today is the ceremony of the establishment of the Hanjing Chamber of Commerce, the Hanjing 480 guilds, and some famous firms together to form the Hanjing Chamber of Commerce, and all parts of the country will also form local chambers of commerce, and the national chamber of commerce, and will be subordinate to the National Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The Chamber of Commerce will be divided into three tiers: national, provincial and state.
The Datang Chamber of Commerce and Industry is not only a union of chambers of commerce in various provinces and Hanjing Prefecture, but also the most famous businesses in the world are also directly selected.

What is the purpose of joining the Chamber of Commerce and what are the benefits?
The guilds and firms that join the Chamber of Commerce will elect representatives to become representatives of the Chamber of Commerce.
As a representative of the Chamber of Commerce, he has the right to kneel without kneeling and to submit a letter to the government.
Even representatives of the General Chamber of Commerce can participate in the annual Congress of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, at which they discuss the industrial and commercial situation of the whole country, and even the imperial court will send officials to attend the meeting.
The delegates were able to submit a letter to the imperial court to suggest that even the representatives of the General Chamber of Commerce enjoy some protection, if the representatives of these chambers of commerce violated the law and committed crimes, the local government had no right to arrest and deal with them, and they had to report to the Dali Temple, which would hear their cases.
This article alone is equivalent to putting a protective coat on the representatives of those chambers of commerce.
Magistrates and local tyrants cannot be arbitrarily oppressed and bullied.
It is even more rare to have the opportunity to speak directly to the emperor and the imperial court.
Li Chao gave the businessmen so much power, and it took a lot of effort.
In order to build momentum for the Chamber of Commerce, Li Chao even pulled the prince over today.
He is now the honorary president of the Datang Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the prince is the president of the Chamber of Commerce. t1706231537:
