Chapter 2692 official business, business official
After retreating to the court, Yao Chong's mood fell to the bottom.
He has seen Wu Zetian's ruthless measures.
Mi Renying was removed from office just to fulfill Qian Desheng's appointment.
However, Yao Chong never considered whether civil officials were in power for some professional positions.
In his opinion, officials can only be held by literati.
Even military positions have to be created to have a military supervisor.
People in the world think that the Grand Marshal is the supreme commander in the army, but in fact it is not.
The military supervisor is the only thing. If the Grand Marshal gives an order, the military supervisor just needs to say a word, and the Marshal must first sweat a cold sweat to see if his order is inappropriate.
This world is the world of literati, military officers are just a group of reckless men, farmers are just a group of **** who only know how to farm, craftsmen are just a lie, strange and lewd skills, merchants are all greedy and profit-oriented.
Only literati are the noblest existence in the world, not afraid of the powerful and upright...
However, I am afraid that only Yao Chong, who is a literati, would think so.
Qian Desheng was still in a dream, and when he left the Golden Palace, he was still in a dream.
He never thought that he could wear a crane robe one day, and he never thought that he could stand openly in the Golden Palace.
Suddenly, a voice rang next to Qian Desheng.
"Mr. Qian, congratulations."
Qian Desheng turned around and immediately discovered that Lao Cao had appeared beside him.
"You are kind to you, your Majesty is full of holy wishes."
"Mr. Qian, don't be polite. If Mr. Qian does not have the ability, he will not be favored by His Majesty." Old Cao said calmly: "However, Mr. Qian should also take the fate of Mi Renying as a warning. Mi Renying is just to be favoritism and abuse his power, dereliction of duty, and end up in such a situation. Mr. Qian should not follow Mi Renying's footsteps."
"I understand, thank you for your advice."
Qian Desheng didn't dare to be proud at this time. He knew that he could become an official, and it was all Wu Zetian's support and support.
Wu Zetian sent Lao Cao to give him some advice, and at the same time warned him.
"This is the imperial edict from His Majesty to Lord Qian. Lord Qian will go back quickly and prepare for the next thing."
Qian Desheng took the imperial edict, but found more than one: "This is..."
"One of them belongs to Lord Qian, and there are five imperial edicts that have been written, but the name has not been written yet. Lord Qian can fill in the name according to the situation."
Qian Desheng took a breath. Wu Zetian was so relieved that he actually gave him such power.
"I will do my best to do my best to fulfill my loyalty and duty for Your Majesty, and will never let Your Majesty down."
"I hope Lord Qian can keep his true intentions. Our family will not send Lord Qian out of the palace. Lord Qian will leave, so I won't send him."
"Don't bother."
Qian Desheng left the palace gate and got into his own car. Now he has an official position.
Of course, you cannot travel at will as you did before. Basically, every official of the grade has a specific way of travel.
As a third-rank official, Qian Desheng naturally had to have his own carriage, but this carriage is also very exquisite.
You can't be too luxurious, too luxurious will be exceeded.
However, I have to say that the car drivers of third-rank officials are also very comfortable, and there are many psychological effects.
Qian Desheng picked up the imperial edict and read it. The first one was his imperial edict. The above will be watched over and over again. The more you read it, the more you feel more comfortable. Qian Desheng reluctantly let go of the imperial edict, and he had already memorized the contents on it.
It seems that the second one is similar to the content of his own imperial edict, but he is the deputy minister of the Finance Department, and the third one is the supervision of the Finance Department. The remaining two are also the imperial edicts for the official, ranging from the fourth rank to the sixth rank.
Wu Zetian asked him to choose himself to form a team, and Qian Desheng did not dare to be careless and negligent.
It is important to choose your own confidants at this time, but you cannot be your own people.
Wu Zetian gave himself an imperial edict, which was also a test for himself.
If they are all their own people, then the Finance Department will be equivalent to becoming its own private department. Even if Wu Zetian trusts himself, he will inevitably feel suspicious.
Another point is the issue of ability. All of these official positions are top priority. If a person without talent or morality is responsible, it is inevitable that some trouble will occur, and you will definitely take the lead in taking responsibility.
After thinking about it, Qian Desheng decided to gather all the members of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance first.
I have to say that Qian Desheng felt different after he obtained this official position.
This is also a common problem among Chinese people. The psychology of an official is that it feels better than others when you become an official, and becoming an official means glorious and glorious.
Soon, all the members of the Chamber of Commerce and Alliance arrived.
"Mr. Qian, congratulations!" An Tai was the first to come up to congratulate, but his tone felt very uncomfortable, with a little envious and jealous.
He has always regarded himself as the leader of Luoyang merchants, but unexpectedly he missed the opportunity at the party with Wu Zetian the day before yesterday.
In fact, he knew what Qian Desheng said at the time, and he could also say it.
But he didn't have the courage to say it in front of Wu Zetian at that time, but what Wu Zetian wanted was that courage.
Now Qian Desheng is a third-rank official, equivalent to the position of a minister.
Moreover, he is in charge of the full department and can even influence the world. This huge power is also a huge honor, which makes Antai not jealous.
"Boss An is joking. I and you are all doing things for the emperor." Qian Desheng's name to himself became his official, which made An Tai feel even more uncomfortable.
"Mr. Qian summoned us, but have something to talk about?"
"I don't hide it from you. I am the first to be in charge of the official seal. The pressure on my shoulders is extremely high. I want to achieve some results, but I am struggling with the shortcoming of one person. So I specially asked Your Majesty for a few like-minded people to join the post and do something for the court and your Majesty with me."
When everyone heard Qian Desheng's words, their eyes lit up.
Originally, they thought that Qian Desheng had taken away the only opportunity, but they never thought that Qian Desheng had thrown out such a big bait again, and every businessman's face was full of surprise and joy.
The eyes of Qian Desheng changed, please please, flatter...
An Tai also swallowed his saliva, his face full of desire.
How difficult is it for a businessman to become an official?
Generally speaking, merchants and their children cannot obtain fame and honor, and merchants can only buy some official names by donating officials.
Moreover, there may be dozens of official names, or even hundreds of wealthy businessmen enjoy them at the same time.
The official position bought for seven or eight thousand taels of silver is not as powerful as that of a county magistrate.
For big businessmen like Antai, it is almost like a useless man. It is tasteless to eat, but it is a pity to throw it away.
Now Antai has a great family and a great career, but she suffers from her children’s lack of fame. It is a problem whether the huge family business can be passed down for three generations.
However, if you have a real official position, everything will be different.
"Mr. Qian, you are polite. Not to mention your high position and power, it is a friendship between you and me. It is also a decades of relationship. If Mr. Qian takes any measures, the people will support him strongly, and he will never say anything." An Tai said first.
“There are also…”
“There are the same below.”
"Everyone expressed his impatiently, for fear that he would be too late and then he would have no chance."
"Mr. Qian, you can say that, although I am not the richest man, I have a lot of spare money in my hand, and I can still take out 10,000 or 20,000 taels." An old man was the most domineering.
This old man is also an absolute official fan. He has bought four official positions in a void, ranging from 5,000 taels to 30,000 taels each.
What's more, now he is an official position with real power, and it cannot be measured by gold and silver.
Antai was not in a hurry to express his opinion. If it were to compare money, he would have more money than everyone present.
But he knew better that some things could not be determined by money.
"Mr. Qian, I think that the difficulty of Mr. Qian now lies in the difficulties of civil servants, and the significance of the existence of the Finance Department is His Majesty's plan to promote business. Mr. Qian thinks, how to promote business?"
Qian Desheng's eyes lit up. He summoned everyone not to sell the imperial edict in his hand, but to see who could come up with a solution.
One person has a short plan, two people have a high plan! He believes that so many businessmen will definitely come up with a solution.
And he also made up his mind that whoever could come up with a way to make his eyes shine would give the imperial edict to whom.
"I would like to hear it carefully." Qian Desheng didn't dare to be too cautious in front of An Tai, and said in a humble tone.
"The power of the Finance Department is the right to tax and price pricing. First of all, talking about taxes. Nowadays, many merchants evade taxes. We are all merchants, so we naturally know the tricks more than others. Therefore, in terms of taxation, we can formulate a rule. If we want to join the chamber of commerce and accept the protection of the chamber of commerce, the first thing is to reach a certain scale of assets, and the second is to pay a certain amount of taxes. At the same time, the chamber of commerce has adopted certain preferential policies for internal transactions to attract more merchants to join the chamber of commerce. For example, some goods, outside merchants and merchants in the chamber of commerce offer the same price or a similar price, and then sell them to merchants in the chamber of commerce."
Antai talked freely, Qian Desheng nodded repeatedly, sighing in his heart that Antai is worthy of being a big businessman. If Antai had performed like this on that day, he would probably have nothing to do with him.
In fact, An Tai can only express his views so naturally and calmly. If it were Wu Zetian, she would probably not have expressed her views so calmly.
"We must conduct self-monitoring when paying taxes to internal merchants. Once tax evasion is discovered, we will punish them internally."
Ante paused: "The second is the price pricing power, so I don't need to say more. The stability of prices is of great benefit to the entire business environment. The temporary price increase is not only risky, but also a huge blow to the business environment."
"What Boss An said makes sense, but Boss An doesn't say the most important thing, how to promote business?"
An Tai's face showed a confident smile: "It's very simple! Let more people know that businessmen can also become officials, and let more people know that only by joining the chamber of commerce can one become an official!"
"Miracle and wonderful! Kill two birds with one stone! Awesome!" (To be continued.)
