At this moment, Huang Changzong looked at Cao Bang with anticipation in his eyes.
Huang Changzong really hoped that Cao Bang could figure out something, at least with his reminder.
But in the end, Huang Changzong was disappointed.
Looking at Cao Bang who was talking so eloquently, Huang Changzong didn't know what to say.
At this time, Cao Bang was still saying some words of loyalty, "We can't learn from these people. We must do our work well and be sincere to the emperor in the future."
Huang Changzong was helpless.
Is this what I asked you to say? What's the point?
Were you brought here so quickly just to make you show your loyalty to the emperor?
There are so many people who express their loyalty to the emperor. Nowadays, no matter whether they are human or not, everyone wants to express their loyalty to the emperor.
But it doesn’t matter. The current emperor is very wise. He not only looks at what you say, but also at what you do.
Talking without practicing is useless. You must actually put it into practice.
But Cao Bang was still a little nervous. The impression left on him by Room No. 1 was so deep that he even felt that someone was staring at him, and even the emperor was next door.
Cao Bang was a little nervous and didn't know what to say.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to understand Huang Changzong's hint.
Finally, Huang Changzong looked at Cao Bang helplessly and said, "Brother Cao, I think you should do something. Yangzhou's business atmosphere has become like this, and each of you has an unshirkable responsibility. To prevent such things from happening again, you, as the leader of Yangzhou's business community, should do something."
Cao Bang was still a little confused.
How did I become the leader of Yangzhou's business community?
However, Cao Bang soon realized that he was indeed the leader of Yangzhou's business community, because those who could be leaders had already been beheaded or arrested.
After all the people with big heads died, he, the only one left with a big head, became the person with the biggest head.
Cao Bang suddenly understood what Huang Changzong wanted him to understand.
He looked up at Huang Changzong and said uncertainly, "Should I do something as a leader?"
"You're absolutely right!" Huang Changzong clapped his hands excitedly and said, "We should do something."
"Establish a Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce. You should be the president of this chamber of commerce to unify the management of Yangzhou's merchants. Of course, we can't force it, so just find those who share the same ideals." Huang Changzong said quickly.
In fact, Huang Changzong himself didn't believe what he said.
Because at this moment, the entire city of Yangzhou can be said to be in a panic, and all the merchants in Yangzhou are like this. Especially after they saw a beheading on the city wall, they were lucky not to die of fright.
At this time, everyone was scared and wanted to find a way out.
Cao Bang is their idol. He originally had a wealthy family and although he took out all his wealth, what was the reality?
They've got something very important: the Emperor's forgiveness. It's a magical artifact! It can exert tremendous power.
Cao Bang was not only not severely punished, but also joined the Imperial Household Department and became an official. This shows that Cao Bang had a deep foundation and was very resourceful.
There were actually a lot of people who wanted to contact Cao Bang these days, but Cao Bang didn't dare to do anything to avoid suspicion.
At this time, if he made a call from a high place, it would be prestige, and no one dared to refuse Cao Bang; but who knew what would happen after refusing Cao Bang?
So there is no such thing as voluntary or involuntary.
And Huang Changzong said it was voluntary. If you are not willing, then the Jinyiwei will come to talk to you.
At this time, Huang Changzong also wanted to unify all the merchants in Yangzhou.
Cao Bang continued, "Then we can establish a code of self-regulation for Yangzhou merchants. How can we prevent things like this from happening? How can we better serve His Majesty?"
"Now all four classes of people are equal. Although you are a businessman, you are also a citizen of the Ming Dynasty and a subject of His Majesty. So you must do what you should do."
"Supporting the Ming Dynasty and being loyal to His Majesty is what we must do. In our daily actions, we must pay taxes with peace of mind, not evade taxes, not oppress the good, not hoard goods, and not cheat. We must conduct business in a stable manner and earn the money we deserve."
As Cao Bang listened to Huang Changzong's words, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
In fact, Cao Bang probably understood what Huang Changzong wanted him to do.
To be frank, the Yangzhou Merchants' Self-Discipline Regulations were not something they wanted to come up with, but something the emperor wanted them to come up with. Furthermore, this was a new rule, and it was also the price to pay for getting on board.
Only if you agree, consent and sign this agreement, then you will be qualified to make money and become a Ming Dynasty businessman.
To put it bluntly, this is actually a simplified version of the new commercial law.
If it was Zhu Youxiao who promoted it himself, then there would be a problem; but if it was advocated by Cao Bang and all the merchants in Yangzhou supported it, then it was public opinion and there would be a lot of room for maneuver.
When the time comes, this regulation will be sent to Zhu Youxiao, who will definitely praise and reward it, and then promote it.
When the Ministry of Internal Affairs selects partners, it must give priority to these. When the time comes to establish a partnership, if the rules they set are not unified, then they need to unify them.
It would be more appropriate for us to unify the two, of course, the court and the emperor.
