Chapter 792 Zhizhi, don’t you want to be the head of the Chamber of Commerce?
It is impossible that the net you cast will not catch any fish.
The only difference is the method of catching or releasing.
After experiencing the flood, most of the people present could get extra leniency, but there would be no small number of lives sacrificed in the Jiangnan area. Xu Yu had his own plans for these matters very early on.
Xu Yu didn't want to dirty Sang Zhixia's hands with this kind of post-settlement.
Sang Zhixia was too lazy to ask about things that had nothing to do with her.
But the person has come to us on his own initiative. If we don’t catch him, wouldn’t we be betraying his deep friendship by coming to us on his own initiative?
In the silence, Sang Zhixia said slowly, "I'm just an idle messenger. I'm not sure about the specific reason, but if anyone is curious or resentful, it's easy to deal with."
"What did these people who were just taken away do? How did they behave during this period? Let's break down each and every detail and discuss it in detail."
"Those who work hard should be rewarded, and those who make mistakes should be punished. This is nothing wrong."
"but……"
Sang Zhixia looked at the people with different expressions with a half-smile, and said playfully, "If they really plan to conduct such a detailed investigation, I'm afraid more than just those people will be implicated."
All crows are black. For a wealthy businessman who can have such a status today, whose hands are really as spotless as he claims?
Sang Zhixia's eyes revealed a hint of sarcasm. Seeing that the situation was not good, Gui Sheng quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "The young prince is very perceptive and will definitely not wrong anyone."
"We are grateful to the young prince for his kindness today, and we have no words to express our gratitude. We naturally have no complaints."
Sang Zhixia curled her lips, not wanting to dwell on the topic any further. Seeing that no one was talking about anything else, she said slowly, "You all came here today, which surprised me. But since you're here, I guess you have different ideas about reconstruction after the flood."
"I rely on your prestige to make a solemn announcement. Post-disaster reconstruction is of paramount importance. No detail, big or small, should be neglected."
"But I'm young and inexperienced, so I'm afraid there might be things I haven't thought of well. Please feel free to speak up."
Xu Yu's usual style was to pluck feathers from passing geese.
Sang Zhixia decided to carry it forward.
Those who have money can provide the money, and those who don’t have enough money can provide the manpower.
Before they left Nam-yoon, reconstruction measures had to be put in place.
Sang Zhixia led the topic to a level that was unavoidable, and even if the rest of the people didn't originally think so, they had to continue talking along with her.
Gui Sheng and Fan Shicheng felt reassured, and holding on to their heads, they began to mobilize everyone to work together.
By the time Xu Yu got impatient and tried to find it, Sang Zhixia had almost finalized the matter.
The residential streets damaged by the flood will be repaired gradually over the next month, and the destroyed ferry will be repaired in the shortest possible time.
Regarding the problems such as dangerous roads exposed by this flood, some people patted their chests and said that they would cover all the expenses.
Build bridges and roads, provide porridge and medicine.
We should do whatever good deeds are beneficial to the people.
As for the Nanxun Chamber of Commerce, which has become a bubble, Fan Shicheng has his own unique insights.
Fan Shicheng said gravely, "A group of merchants cannot be without a leader, otherwise, chaos will arise as everyone acts on their own. However, this leader cannot be without talent or virtue, lest the previous leader commit evil and his followers follow his example."
"I propose rebuilding the Chamber of Commerce and electing a new president to lead the merchants of the Southland."
Fan Shicheng cautiously glanced at Sang Zhixia's expression and said sternly, "The establishment of the Chamber of Commerce will ensure that everyone from the top down can supervise each other and form constraints between the upper and lower levels."
"Secondly, it can control the prices of cloth, rice, grain, oil and other necessities for people's survival in the market and regulate them uniformly to prevent people from raising prices arbitrarily and causing unnecessary losses to the people."
Gui Sheng also stood up and said seriously: "A group of dragons cannot be without a leader, and the business world cannot be without a head."
"Master Fan is absolutely right. We should elect a new leader as soon as possible and establish a new Chamber of Commerce."
These two old foxes spoke first, so how could the others not understand?
Those who had been silent before suddenly seemed to find the enthusiasm to speak up, vying with each other to describe the importance of the Chamber of Commerce. Some even suggested paying taxes to the Chamber of Commerce every year according to the rules.
Sang Zhixia's face twitched silently as he heard this, but he finally laughed and said, "There's nothing wrong with paying taxes according to the law, but paying taxes to the head of the Chamber of Commerce is something I've never heard of."
The person who proposed paying taxes laughed dryly and didn't dare to respond.
Sang Zhixia pondered for a moment, and before these people could speak, openly putting him in the position of head of the chamber of commerce, he said directly: "You mentioned rebuilding the chamber of commerce, but we haven't come to a conclusion on how to do it specifically yet."
"If there's nothing else, please go back and finish the work at hand first."
Gui Sheng and Fan Shicheng looked at each other calmly and nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, those who were about to say something silently shut their mouths and stood up to say goodbye one after another.
Gui Sheng walked out and saw Xu Yu, who had arrived at the door at some point. He was startled and reached out to lift his robe and kneel down to salute: "I, Gui Sheng, greet the general."
Those who didn't know Xu Yu paused when they heard the voice and hurriedly followed suit to greet him.
In the blink of an eye, the not-so-spacious entrance was filled with people kneeling on the floor. Xu Yu stepped over the threshold and said calmly, "No need to be so polite. Everyone, please leave."
"Thank you, General."
Xu Yu waved his hand backwards, and those who had been hesitating just now suddenly moved much faster.
Soon the people at the door dispersed. Xu Yu sat next to Sang Zhixia, held her hand, pressed it against his chest and rubbed it before whispering, "Zhizhi, don't you want to be the head of the Chamber of Commerce?"
If Sang Zhixia had had the slightest intention of doing so, she wouldn't have had to say a word just now, and Gui Sheng and Fan Shicheng would have been able to lift her to the position of the head of the meeting.
And with Xu Yu around, although Sang Zhixia may be the youngest head of a chamber of commerce in the Jiangnan area, the respect and prestige she gets must be the most real.
Sang Zhixia gently bumped her forehead against Xu Yu's hand and said with a mixture of laughter and tears, "I'm just bored and have nothing better to do than to find myself an official hat."
"Besides, there are many people with both talent and integrity. Even if I were to get this position, it would be low pay and high workload with lots of landmines. Why would I bother myself with that?"
Sang Zhixia leaned lazily against Xu Yu's shoulder and said with her eyes closed, "The existence of the Chamber of Commerce is necessary."
There is a unified direction and rules that must not be violated, which provide chains to restrain the hands and feet of these arrogant people.
Once you encounter any trouble, you can focus your efforts on one thing and have a chance to deal with it.
But she is not suitable to be the head of the Southland Chamber of Commerce.
Sang Zhixia didn't think that position was interesting either.
Sang Zhixia yawned and said slowly, "If you ask me, the position of leader is a hot potato. Don't touch it."
Xu Yu's fingertips slid through the loose hair beside Sang Zhixia's ear and whispered softly, "With me here, there won't be any trouble."
“But I find it annoying.”
Sang Zhixia chuckled softly and said, "My focus isn't on the Jiangnan Water Village. I can visit and enjoy it here, but I have no intention of staying here for a long time."
"When you're almost done with the things you have on hand, the business will still be left to Lin Yun and Xue Liu."
"If there's a chance in the future, I'll find a nice springtime with flowers in bloom and bring our family, young and old, here for a stroll. After we've had enough fun, we'll go home. Why would someone like you, who only wants to be idle, take on the job of leader?"
The position of the head of the association is a treasure trove, but also a crater.
Sang Zhixia thought he didn't have that much ability, so he simply didn't bother to cause trouble for himself.
Sang Zhixia poked Xu Yu's waist and said, "The trade in the South is booming, and all aspects involved are extremely important. This position must be filled by someone the young prince trusts."
Instead of looking for trouble, it’s better to throw the trouble away and let Jiang Yubai deal with it himself.
I think Jiang Yubai would be happy to take this opportunity to clean up the business atmosphere in Jiangnan and other places.
