Chapter 635 From Vegetable Market to Citizen City Part 1

"First of the People, give orders! The subordinates' 100 Baozheng and 400 Baoding are ready, just waiting for your order!"

Seeing Wu Haogu remained silent, Ximen Anguo, the elder of the Ximen family, was a little uneasy and asked for a fight.

It turned out that before the start of today's Senate meeting, Wu Haogu asked Ximen Anguo to convene the "vegetable market security guards"! The 100 knights and 400 part-time guillotines mobilized from the construction institute engineering team led by Huang Zhisheng, were deployed at the first time. The knights rode on horseback, brought bows and arrows and straight knives, while the "temporary guillotines" held sticks and rattan cards, and were all on guard at various places in Jiehe Shang City.

But the force seems to be a bit weak!

After hearing Ximen Anguo's shout, Wu Haogu suddenly discovered that the military strength of Jiehe Shang City was not enough at the critical moment... If we don't count the "Mamruks" who have not grown up, the "standing army" of Jiehe Shang City is 200 "Knights and Prefectures", 200 Bu Zhanshu, 200 naval troops, and hundreds of police patrols, totaling only more than a thousand people.

Moreover, the police patrol is also responsible for maintaining urban public order, not an army that can be pulled out at any time!

As for the registered Baoding, there are thousands of people, but can it be mobilized when things come to an end? And most of these Baoding... are engaged in the business under the eighty-eight guilds, right? Can these guys really go to the battlefield at critical moments? They are not Western Zhou people and Roman citizens!

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu laughed: "Am I, just prepare, what order should I give? It's just a petition... We are not sure whether we are accurate or not, we don't have to hurt our harmony. After all, Jiehe Market is a business, and the business is not a good deal! Is this the truth?"

Wu Haogu was talking, but his eyes turned coldly to Ji Sheng, Xiang Bao and Zhang Kexiang.

"Yes! The business is not successful!" Ji Sheng replied with a smile, "The worst thing is the chariot people... They didn't kill people and rob, what can we do? Can we forcefully buy and sell?"

Xiang Bao also said, "Ximen Anzhi, you are so impulsive! If your Baoding really kills someone, what should he do when he goes to Kaifeng Prefecture to beat Dengwengu? Are you really the head of martial arts and the governor of a town?"

Zhang Kexiang sneered: "Head of Wu, I think there is something wrong with the political office this time. Du Wenzhong's guy was so ugly. He asked for bribes from brothels and bribes from shipbuilding companies for 8,000 yuan... How much does the shareholders of the Chamber of Commerce have to pay a year? Only ten thousand pieces of silk are he good, he will be 10,000 yuan! Moreover, he still has 600 pieces of investment a year and lives in a free house. The seventh-rank official in the court has taken more than him!

And this guy ran away! Haha, I think he probably collected money from other families, maybe he could get tens of thousands! Otherwise, what would he run away?"

"Yes, if the taxation activities are the same as him, how much will our Chamber of Commerce lose in a year?"

"He is not an official, so how dare he make money like this? No wonder the guild below is dissatisfied with this."

"I think the request made by the guild is reasonable, and taxes are indeed open to public agreement."

"It's better to discuss it..."

Several of the veterans present actually began to echo Zhang Kexiang! But Zhang Kexiang's words also make sense.

Du Wenzhong is just a salesperson in a company that takes kickbacks, and he still expects shareholders to speak to him?

Moreover, the tax model controlled by the finance department is indeed quite problematic. Du Wenzhong is not the only one who greedy money in the tax industry, but this guy wants too much, which has caused the shipbuilding industry to resist.

"Head of the People's Republic of China," Pan Xiao'an's nephew Pan Qi also spoke at this time, "In my opinion, the tax revenue of this bank is indeed unreasonable. It is better to cancel the bank tax and increase the local tax... Just pay as much tax as the property there is."

If the Pan family opens a bank, it is definitely not as cost-effective as paying land tax! The bank does not occupy much land, how many taxes can it pay? But it is different to collect bank taxes. Everyone knows that the bank has money, so how can it pay less?

"This is not possible!" He immediately objected to BMW, "The land tax is already very high. Last year, I paid more than 60,000 yuan, and the real estate bank also paid more than 30,000 yuan in taxes. The real estate deed tax is still more than 20,000 yuan, and it is already very heavy!"

His Poly Real Estate is the second largest real estate developer in Jiehe Commercial City... Of course, he is unwilling to pay more land taxes.

"Senior Xiang," Wu Haogu said with a smile, interrupting Xiang Bao, who was arguing with Pan Qi, "Do you support the establishment of the guild hall?"

"I think it's OK," Xiang Bao smiled. "It's not good to always get matte money for others a year, right? Besides, there are one-third of the seats in the old club of JD.com now for the leaders of the industry. Why don't we follow the examples?"

The situation in JD.com is actually different from that in Jiehe Market. JD.com Market first has "vegetable dealers" set up stalls to trade, and then a "vegetable market" to regulate management. In this case, it is natural that "vegetable dealers" have a relatively large say. Otherwise, don't even have any business markets, just let the Haizhou government office collect taxes? Apart from collecting money, it's nothing wrong with it.

Jiehe Commercial Market is the first "vegetable market" and then attracts "vegetable dealers". In addition, Jiehe Commercial Market has no government participation and no official participation. It is completely shareholders who are operating and managing. But it is just such a "vegetable market" that has a population of 100,000 in just a few years, almost reaching the level of one state!

In other words, Jiehe Commercial City has become a medium-sized city managed by the board of directors.

The ruling foundation of cities managed by the board of directors is actually relatively weak, which is the thirty-three shareholders. Moreover, most of these thirty-three shareholders are not considered "bourgeois" but rather aristocratic bureaucrats... At least their main identity is aristocratic bureaucrats!

Although those guild leaders are not necessarily black-hearted capitalists, most of them are not as good as nobles and bureaucrats, and most of them are citizens engaged in industry and commerce.

"Brother Pan," Wu Haogu asked Pan Qi again. His age and Wu Haogu seemed to be like Wu Haogu, but his seniority was a generation younger. He was second among his generation. "What do you think?"

"I think it's OK," Pan Qi smiled, "As long as the tax is collected clearly, the public will discuss it!"

"Official Hao, what do you think?" Wu Haogu said calmly and threw the problem to Hao Sui, the inner officer of Jiehe Yingfeng Bureau.

Hao Sui was Empress Dowager Liu's confidant, but he was defeated by Pang Kuan, Yang Jian and Liang Shicheng in the struggle between the internal officials, and was kicked to Jiehe Market.

"Our family thinks it's OK," said Hao Sui. "Anyway, there is already a precedent in JD.com, so it's okay for us to do it as you go."

JD.com has not opened yet! However, the management methods of the mall have been discussed for a while.

"Cao Dianzhi, what do you think?"

Wu Haogu is now asking about an old man from the Cao family's general who is a descendant of Cao Bin, but he is a not-favorite Shuliu, so he was sent to Jiehe Market to do business.

"Okay," Old Man Cao smiled, "With a meeting, we will talk to the leaders in person in the future. Why are they better than now, right?"

Wu Haogu thought: This old man really thinks that those guild merchants are easy to talk to, right?

"Brother Ma," Wu Haogu gave the problem to Ma Zhi again. He was the leader of eight Liao veterans. "Do you think you can open a guild courtyard?"

The eight Liao elders were all noble-minded guys, four of whom were from the Si Yan family, one was a clan member of Xiao Baoxian's brother and sister, one was a business man from the Xi Palace, one was a business man sent by the twelve palace tents, and one was the son and nephew of the Liao prime minister Li Yan (also known as Yelu Yan, who beat the prime minister by rolling dice).

However, these eight nobles of the Liao Kingdom were relatively weak in Jiehe Market because they had no commercial vision. They could basically do nothing except selling horses, sheep and wood. Moreover, most of the land distributed to them was sold early and cashed out, and they did not sell any good prices. Only when Ma Zhi handed over the land to Ximen Qing for operation, he hoarded most of the land and made a lot of money. Now he is probably the richest man in Liao Kingdom.

"Just open it!" Ma Zhi also looked indifferent, "Are you just some businessmen? How can you make such a big deal? I saw that they were unable to bear the blackmail of the clerks, so I made such a request."

Some harmless businessmen? Wu Haogu smiled in his heart: The merchants in ancient China didn’t look very powerful... But if the lower court of the Shangcheng City was really opened, it was not something that a few businessmen participated, because the leader of the business is not necessarily the only one who can do it. As the saying goes, the 360 ​​business is the first to travel! These 360 ​​businessmen are actually the general term for social workers, representing the people who are mainly urban citizens.

Once the House of Commons has been established, it means that the citizens of Jiehe Commercial City have the real power to discuss the government. And the citizens of the Western Zhou Dynasty will become citizens of the Western Zhou Dynasty and Western citizens... A good "Jiehe Vegetable Market" will now become a lighthouse for citizens!

You decadent and declining feudal aristocratic bureaucrats really don’t know anything!

Wu Haogu shook his head and smiled and said, "Since everyone agrees with the opening of the First Hospital of the Bank, then why not agree to their petition... Do you have any objections?"

No one objected. How could the board of directors object to a better and more transparent way to make money?

"Then it's passed!" Wu Haogu continued, "But we can't give those who have the power to perform conference taxes in vain!"

Power and obligations should be equal! The leaders of the industry did not fight much this time, and it was inappropriate to obtain the power to establish the lower court of the founding of the Shantou House, so they must make some efforts! Otherwise, these leaders of the industry would sooner or later become unlucky people.

"Yes! You can't give it to you for free!" Ximen Anguo immediately agreed, and then asked another round, "Head of the People's Republic of China, should we raise the conditions?"
Chapter completed!
