Become a feudal king from today

"A favor?"

Zhao Xu was holding tea and looking at a group of wealthy children who were looking at him eagerly. ReadМ

These guys are too idle.

The Chamber of Commerce currently only has two goods: ice and wine, so they have nothing to do.

He glanced at Dong An and then at Yang He.

I also feel that it is a waste to put these guys who can read and write here, they can be used for another purpose.

Although they were uneducated and incompetent, given the reality of 99% illiteracy rate in ancient times, they were not without merit.

Moreover, it can also prevent them from causing trouble by idleness in Yancheng.

Clearing his throat, he said: "I do have an idea to turn the Chamber of Commerce into an official agency under the palace?"

The children of the wealthy clan were stunned when they heard this.

Turning a trading house into an official office is simply unheard of.

But, what on earth are they, King Yan, going to do.

But there certainly seems to be good things going on.

So the children of the wealthy family moved forward one by one.

Waiting attentively for King Yan's next words.

After blowing on the hot tea, he said slowly: "But don't worry, the profits shared by each of you in the chamber of commerce will not be small. It is just to select some of you to become staff officers of the palace and officially serve as officials to manage the chamber of commerce." business and carry out the royal government’s orders.”

"Suck..." The children of the wealthy clan took a breath after hearing this, with excitement on their faces.

The reason why they fell into the Chamber of Commerce was that they failed in the selection of government officials.

According to Liu Fu's words at the time, they were not suitable to be officials.

For this reason, apart from secretly hating Liu Fu, they had no choice but to do anything.

After all, they can't afford to offend the palace.

During this period of time in the Chamber of Commerce, they seemed to have been hidden by the family, so they were all depressed.

Now, King Yan suddenly throws out such a bait, how can they bear it?

"Your Highness, you want me to wait until I become an official?" The fat on Dong An's plump face trembled.

The eldest son of the Dong family, who had a good family background, was deprived of his official position by other members of the family, and he was completely humiliated.

Because of this, his father was so disappointed in him that he didn't even bother to let him do anything to see King Yan.

Now, he had an opportunity to feel proud before him, how could he not be excited.

Yang He and Dong An were both famous libertines in Yan County before.

He was also eliminated in Liu Fu's selection.

"He is too frivolous to be an official." This was Liu Fu's evaluation of him. He was so angry that he couldn't sleep well for several days and wanted to beat Liu Fu when he saw him.

I remembered that my dignified Yang eldest son was ridiculed by his clan members.

Now that an opportunity was in front of him, he immediately decided to take the plunge.

Shameless.

With a wail, he suddenly walked a few steps quickly, knelt down in front of Zhao Xu with a bang, hugged Zhao Xu's thigh, and said sadly: "Your Highness, let the Chamber of Commerce be taken care of by the lower official. The lower official will definitely make the Chamber of Commerce prosperous and serve Your Highness." Make a lot of money."

Xu Lie was startled just now. Seeing Yang He like this, he took back the knife he had pulled out.

Dong An and other wealthy family members suddenly started making noises after hearing this.

Dong An scolded: "Yang He, you are so shameless. When did His Highness promise you, you dare to call yourself a lower official."

After saying that, he knelt down and hugged Zhao Xu's other leg, "Your Highness, I would like to pay your respects to Your Highness."

"Shameless..." The children of the wealthy clan were stunned and looked down upon the two of them.

"Ahem..." Zhao Xu was speechless. It seemed that Liu Fu had a good opinion of the two of them.

He said: "You two, get up, don't be anxious, listen to me first."

Upon hearing this, Dong An and Yang He looked at each other, snorted at the same time, and stood back.

Looking at the more than 20 wealthy family members in a room, Zhao Xu felt a little worried. He couldn't give them all official posts.

Thinking of the purpose of this visit, he said: "For the sake of fairness, I will give you a chance. Right now, the palace needs a huge amount of iron ore and limestone. Within ten days from today, who can get the most and cheapest for the Military Division?" The person who owns the iron ore, limestone, and stinky coal will be the head of the Chamber of Commerce, ranked sixth, and the others will be given positions in order, how about that?"

"Fair and just." Dong An and Yang Hexi said.

In their opinion, this is a simple matter, they can just go back and get money to buy it.

"Your Highness, if this happens, whoever has more money will win." A young man from a wealthy family saw the flaw.

Zhao Xu had naturally thought of this, and he said: "The money for purchasing these things will be paid by the Wang Chamber of Commerce. Anyone who cheats will never be hired."

He was serious about his selection of chamber officials.

In addition to selling goods, his chamber of commerce will also be responsible for managing Yan County's commerce in the future.

For him, the technology in his head is important, but many of today's management concepts are equally important.

This chamber of commerce is the tool he uses to realize some business ideas.

Dong An, Yang He and others are not suitable to be officials close to the people.

But as far as he knew, some of the wealthy family members were very successful in the family business.

For example, Dong An and Yang He are frivolous but suitable for dealing with other businessmen. They are good at accompanying them to eat, drink and play with women.

Thinking of this, he decided to give them a chance.

"Humph, you are jealous." Dong An and Yang He were dissatisfied, and the two of them were on the same side again.

Rolling up his sleeves, facing the other children of the wealthy family, Yang He said: "This time, real swords and real guns are coming. I, Yang He, will never cheat. Let's see who wins."

"Okay, come on." The other wealthy family members were not afraid either.

They fought hard to win this official position.

Dong An was impatient, "Your Highness, I'm going to go right away and I'll make sure to find the most raw materials for Your Highness within ten days. But what is the limestone that Your Highness is talking about?"

Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction.

The other guys just want to be officials.

Only Dong An still remembers one of the things he doesn't understand.

"Go to the Military Division and ask the king, they will tell you where to look." Zhao Xu said.

Then everyone remembered and resigned, and they all went to the Bingzhan Division.

A little head start gives you more hope of victory.

In the blink of an eye, only the servants were left in the Chamber of Commerce, and Zhao Xu laughed.

During this period of time, he probably won't have to worry about the raw materials for the army.

As for things like limestone, that's fine with them.

After all, the mine cannot be run away, and sooner or later they will know about this thing.

There is no problem with the technology in his hands, but they don't know what to do with the limestone.

Here, Dong An and everyone hurried to the Bingzhan Division.

Wang Ying saw the handwriting of King Yan and told Dong An, Yang He and others where the limestone was and what it looked like.

After everyone heard this, they immediately returned home.

"Dad, my child will be a high official soon."

Upon arriving home, Dong An found his father who was supervising the firing of the palace wine jar in the ceramics workshop.

"Why are you so crazy? As long as you don't cause any trouble for me, you can still be an official." Dong An was furious.

The eldest son of his younger brother's family was selected by Liu Fu and is now the magistrate of a county.

This made him lose face in the Dong family.

It was precisely in order to save his prestige in the family that he came forward to please King Yan himself.

Otherwise, in a few years, the head of the Dong family will change hands.
