Chapter 147 Establishment of the Commercial Department

In today's entire world, it can be said that nowhere is stable under the rule of the National Salvation Army.

Once the Ji family loses the protective umbrella of the People's Salvation Army, their huge family property will be nothing more than a child's money.

Therefore, Ji Mingyuan was unwilling to leave the territory of the People's Salvation Army unless he had no other choice.

He has even begun to deliberately suppress the development of the Ji family and weaken his business empire.

It's just that it has developed to this point, and it is no longer something he can suppress if he wants to.

He lowered the price of his goods and earned only a very small profit, thinking that his income would be greatly reduced.

However, because of the high quality and low price of Jijia's products, they received more praise and started to buy Jijia's products.

Not only did the income not decrease, but it increased by several percent.

The most important thing is that the general public recognizes them and praises the Ji family as a businessman with a conscience who can consider them, the lower class people.

This, this frightened Ji Xiuwen and Ji Mingyuan's father and son.

What are they?

They are trying to buy people's hearts.

Isn't this the most taboo thing for those in power?

If this were in other powerful countries, the Ji family would have been charged with conspiracy and had their homes confiscated and imprisoned.

Although the Salvation Army and the Chief Dynasty seemed different.

But, who knows what the dynasty is thinking?

What if you just want to grow them fatter before harvesting them?

So Ji Mingyuan has been worrying about this matter recently.

However, Ji Mingyuan finally made a difficult decision, which was to donate this huge business empire that spanned the territory of the People's Salvation Army and involved Daming and Turpan to the People's Salvation Army.

In this way, although they lost a lot of family wealth, they could ensure their safety, and even use this to establish a relationship with the leader of the People's Salvation Army, Dynasty.

And this is the main purpose of his big gamble.

If you can get in touch with the leader of the People's Salvation Army, Dynasty, then what does this wealth mean?

even

Ji Mingyuan looked out the window and saw a gentle and elegant beautiful girl approaching.

That's his sister, Ji Nanyue.

Their leader doesn't have any wives yet.

After making the decision, Ji Mingyuan no longer hesitated and immediately approached Dynasty.

After Wang Chao heard his intention, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

Is there anyone in this world who thinks they have too much money?

However, if it were Ji Mingyuan of the Ji family, it seemed that it was not incomprehensible.

After all, he had done something to save people by distributing money before.

Moreover, he is very measured in what he does and knows how to make choices.

Because he didn't understand the character of the dynasty, or he didn't understand that the dynasty didn't care much about money and other things, so he thought too much and decided to donate his family property.

As for why the dynasty doesn’t care about money

He controls the power and power at the top, and his magical power can ensure the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the people at the lower level. So what if there are more wealthy businessmen who are as rich as the country?

It would be fine if they followed the rules, but if they violated the laws and rules of the Salvation Army, they would be liquidated.

Moreover, what is the use of the yellow and white magic power?

If the dynasty wanted to convert gold and silver, even if they used "regular" means, they could go bankrupt in minutes.

How desperate must they be to think that countless gold and silver suddenly turned into bricks and stones?

As for resistance

How could the dynasty care about the turmoil caused by their resistance?

However, the Dynasty did not care about the Ji family's property, but he was somewhat interested in Ji Mingyuan.

No matter what the reason was, he was able to build such a huge business empire in such a short period of time.

This all shows one thing, he is a capable person, at least in business, with abilities beyond ordinary people.

After looking Ji Mingyuan up and down, Chao Chao suddenly spoke.

"I plan to set up a commerce department"

"Hmm~?"

Ji Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, then realized, was this dynasty trying to recruit him?

Involuntarily, a look of surprise appeared on Ji Mingyuan's face.

What Chao Chao said next also proved his suspicion.

"I would like to ask Mr. Ji to preside over the construction of the Department of Commerce and deal with the management and taxation of commercial trade. What do you think of Mr. Ji?"

"The subordinates pay homage to the leader, and the subordinates are willing to be sent by the leader."

Without even a moment's hesitation, Ji Mingyuan bowed deeply.

He originally wanted to build relationships with senior officials of the People's Salvation Army and even the dynasty by donating his family wealth.

Now, the dynasty has directly invited him to be an official, so why should he hesitate?

He wasn't trying to get closer, he was joining in directly.

Moreover, it seemed that the dynasty wanted to establish a commercial department. Although the Ming Dynasty did not have this department, it did not prevent him from clearly understanding its meaning.

Isn’t this a professional counterpart?

"Haha, please wake up Mingyuan!"

Seeing Ji Mingyuan agree so happily, the dynasty was also very happy.

As business became more and more prosperous, he had long wanted to conduct a thorough sorting and standardization of business.

"Well, our National Salvation Army has its own rules. Although you are quite talented, it is not easy to appoint you as a doctor directly. You can temporarily occupy the position of head of the Commercial Department."

Although in the past, many farmers who were just ordinary village chiefs at the bottom were directly made county magistrates or even magistrates by the dynasty.

But now, since the system framework of the Salvation Army has been established.

Then it is better to follow the rules. If it is not necessary, even the Dynasty will never easily destroy it.

What's more, the current Commercial Department can be said to be poor and white. Although Ji Mingyuan is only a low-level official, he is essentially responsible for the entire Commercial Department.

As long as he makes achievements, he can quickly accumulate political achievements and improve his official rank.

Just like Zhou Tie and others before, aren't they all in charge?

How much difference is there between their status in the Salvation Army and the six ministers of the Ming Dynasty?

The Weapons Manufacturing Department not only manufactures weapons, but also swords, guns and cannons. They also need to study to improve the iron and steelmaking process.

And they are also studying the steam engine proposed by the Dynasty.

Even leading the industrial development of the entire territory is their responsibility.

It can be said that they are the Ministry of Industry of the Salvation Army.

However, the Salvation Army did not form six ministries in name.

And Zhou Tie, who is in charge of the weapons manufacturing department equivalent to the Ministry of Industry, was also the chief before?

It was some time ago, considering that their territory was not small and the system was almost perfect.

However, the people in charge of each department were still the chief, which was a bit inappropriate after all, so Wang Chao promoted them all to Langzhong.

Langzhong is the highest official in a department. In addition, there are Yuanwailang, and the lowest-level official is the chief.

However, it depends on the situation.

A newly built commercial department has only Ji Mingyuan as the chief, and no other officials.

Then he is actually not much different from Langzhong.

On the contrary, it is like the previous time that the officials who were directly promoted from village heads to county magistrates, prefects, etc., although they were promoted to heaven in one step, they also need to make up for the political achievements and contributions they need.

If the political achievements are not up to standard at the end of the year, they will be replaced by others with better political achievements.

After appointing Ji Mingyuan as the head of the Commercial Department, Wang Chao discussed some issues about the Commercial Department with him.

To be honest, he was not very good at these.

However, he had never eaten pork, but he had never seen pigs run.

He was a man from the future, so he had always heard some things about business.

Ji Mingyuan was also a business genius. After the two of them communicated with each other, they could always study and sort out a roughly feasible plan.

Later, Ji Mingyuan would find someone to study and refine it, and gradually improve it.

Anyway, Wang Chao had plenty of time to wait for perfection.

If there were any omissions, he could also cover it.

In the process of communicating with Wang Chao, the industry norms, commercial laws, state-owned enterprises, tiered taxation, etc. proposed by Wang Chao all made Ji Mingyuan admired.

Although Wang Chao spoke in a general way, Ji Mingyuan obtained a lot of useful information from this information, which broadened his horizons and ideas.

It can also be known that after the establishment of the Commercial Department, it will be of great benefit to both businessmen and the country.

Of course, this is also relative.

He did protect the interests of some merchants to a certain extent, but at the same time, he also imposed certain restrictions and constraints on them.

If other national forces implement this policy, they will inevitably encounter great resistance.

However, all this is not a problem in the territory of the Salvation Army.

Not to mention that the dynasty is in the territory of the Salvation Army, and it is the one that speaks the truth.

It's just that in the past, every time the Salvation Army occupied a place, it would clean up the dignitaries and wealthy merchants in that place.

Anyone who committed crimes and resisted and opposed the Salvation Army had their homes confiscated and was imprisoned.

Those who should be chopped off should be chopped off, and those who should be sent to labor reform should be sent to labor reform.

Therefore, no matter those newly emerging merchants or those merchants who have not committed major crimes and have survived, absolutely no one dares to oppose at this time.

Moreover, if the Salvation Army established a commercial department, it would mean that the Salvation Army and the dynasty valued business and did not discriminate against merchants.

This also means that the merchants under the Salvation Army were incorporated into the system of this emerging force.

To a certain extent, the status of merchants has been improved a lot compared to that in the Ming Dynasty.

Although in fact, the status of farmers and common people in the Ming Dynasty is the lowest.

But in name, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants do have the lowest status.

If the Salvation Army specially establishes a commercial department, it means that the merchants have been recognized by the dynasty and their status has been greatly improved.

In this respect, those merchants are naturally willing.

But in terms of taxation, they are unwilling.

Who is not a sophisticated egoist?

But no matter what they think, they must abide by the commercial law of the Commercial Department after it is promulgated.

Otherwise, just wait for the inspection department to come to the door.

Visiting the dynasty at noon, and when the sun is about to set, Ji Mingyuan said goodbye and left.

Along the way, Ji Mingyuan felt the status of heaven and earth in his mind, and couldn't help but sigh secretly that the leader was really the emperor of heaven, and he was a scholar.

He knew how to fight and govern, and on top of his proud business, he also had unique insights and cognition that he could not match.

It also created this special magical power cultivation system. Just like the Emperor of Heaven who speaks of the Constitution of Heaven, as long as he canonizes people, he can trigger the national movement to evolve the status of heaven, grant official positions, and control supernatural powers.

He is not an official, he is simply a god.

It's just that he, a god, has many limitations, and he doesn't have the ability to become immortal all of a sudden.

However, according to the leader's introduction, as long as one can reach the realm of immortality above supernatural powers, one can have a lifespan of at least five hundred years.

Think about it, the Ming Dynasty is only over two hundred years old, and even if you include the Yuan Dynasty, it is only three or four hundred years old.

Five hundred years is the time for at least two kingdoms to reincarnate. What a long time it is.

For a moment, Ji Mingyuan felt very motivated. He must achieve results as soon as possible, improve his official rank, speed up his practice, and reach the realm of immortality as soon as possible.

But when he walked to the door of the house, he slapped his forehead fiercely, but he forgot to mention his sister.

"Alas~, I can only wait until later to mention it."

With a sigh and a murmur, Ji Mingyuan stepped into the house.

And there is also the Ji family's caravan industry, which I also forgot to mention.

However, when he thought of the state-owned company mentioned by the dynasty, he suddenly had a new idea.

If you directly donate family wealth, the leader may not accept it.

However, if he uses the state-owned company model mentioned by the leader to rectify the Ji family industry and classify it as a state-owned company, then it will be a different situation.

"Ha ha."

Thinking of this, Ji Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh heartily.
