Warring States Eagle

Just after noon, the envoy of the Luo family, Kamiya Shota, formally invited Noto Yahira, who was present, and other merchants to the courtyard where Masara was located.

This courtyard was built according to the instructions of Master Zenrong, a high-ranking monk at the local Shengfu Temple in Hakata. It contains the artistic conception of one courtyard and one courtyard with four seasons, and it is perfect for drinking tea and enjoying the scenery.The courtyard in the other courtyard is also called the tea court, and a thatched shed was erected in it.Zhengliang, Dongxiang Heiji and the others had already sat down, waiting for the arrival of the merchants.

"I'll see Mr. Repairman." All the merchants sat down in turn after saluting.The most accessible position on the left side has already been occupied by the representative of Shenya Shaoce, the representative of Luoshiya Taijiu Ling (this is the first time a woman has appeared on such a formal occasion), and the Ming Dynasty cooperative businessman of the Luo family Wang Hai's representative, the Ming businessman Zuo Moyang who stayed in the Luo family's territory to deal with business, the Nanman Zhu Qinfeng's representative, and the heads of some local commercial houses that gradually prospered in the Luo family's area.

Everyone saw that Shenya Shaoce, who used to be just a small businessman in Hakata Bay, had become an important minister of the Luo family, and his family's Shenya was also doing well, which immediately made many people show envy in their eyes. color come.Kamiya Shaoce ignored the gazes of these people.He took refuge in the Luo family very early, and his son (that is, Shenwu Zongzhan, one of the three major merchants in the Warring States Period) was still a small surname of Zhengliang.The status and status have long been different, so there is no need to pay attention to the grassroots in these eyes.There were more than 30 people in the tea party plus those from Zhengliang's side.It can be said that all the powerful businessmen from the area west of Kyoto have been invited.

Seeing that everyone was sitting down, Zheng Liang took the lead in speaking:

"It's a great honor for all of you to be invited here."

"My lord repairman, you are polite. The Luo family has always taken good care of me and other commercial houses. We should all thank you." Notoya Hirahisa said immediately.What he said was indeed not bad. Over the past few years, they had obtained a lot of local rare goods from Luo's family's Hirado Island, and then resold them to Kanto and other regions, earning a lot of difference.

"We are also in the same mood as Heijiu-sama, and we are grateful to the Luo family." Imai Sohisa of Nawu also echoed.After that, everyone spoke in succession.All of a sudden, people took turns praising Zheng Liang in the courtyard.

"Your thoughts, I really feel it. Holding a tea party here today is also a way to get closer to you. Please continue to support the rule of the Luo family." [

"Naturally! It should be!" Everyone replied immediately.Only the Luo family can bring us benefits. We are definitely loyal allies who support the Luo family. Everyone answered loudly while thinking in their hearts.

"state!"

The bamboo tube filled with water is installed on the rock, making a crisp sound.The scenery in the courtyard is imprinted in the eyes.

Because it is already summer, the trees and grass in the courtyard are covered with emerald green leaves.Coupled with the warm sunshine and the sound of ding-dong water, it shows the meaning of vitality.It's like the rising momentum of Luo's family has just begun.All the guests here must understand the host's intentions in arranging the tea house.This is an important part of the tea party.

After appreciating the scenery for a while, Zheng Liang invited everyone into the house to take a seat, and the "first seat" in the tea party began.

Sit down, the eminent monk from the Hakata area who was invited as a guest this time, the master of the tea ceremony Master Zen Rong said: "The first charcoal. The poor monk will add it to everyone." After speaking, sit by the hearth, add cherry tree charcoal, and use After flicking the fire hook twice, he sat back in his original position.As the eminent monk of Shengfu Temple who introduced Chinese tea ceremony for the first time in the history of Japan, and the famous tea ceremony master at this time, Master Chan Rong is the most suitable to take on the role of Chutan.

The purpose of the tea party is to talk about the heart.Everyone has a deep understanding of religion, they are all human spirits, and they know that Zheng Liang has something to say.So they all looked at Zheng Liang and waited for him to speak.

The timing was enough, Zhengliang finally entered the show, and said: "Everyone, I believe that I have visited Hakata Port when I came here to participate in the tea party. What do you think about this?"

"It's really a brilliant work, and the construction style is a bit similar to that of the Ming Dynasty!" Notoya Heihisa is an old man, knowing that Masatoshi hopes that someone will come forward to praise the situation after the reconstruction of Hakata, and he is afraid that there will be something wrong The guy who opened his eyes was talking nonsense (after all, there are businessmen from hostile forces who came to fight against the Luo family among the crowd, and they can't tell. In order not to be ruined by these guys, their chance of cooperating with the Luo family this time , of course he has to be extra careful), so he immediately opened his mouth to set the tone of the topic to come.

"The rows of houses that are almost exactly the same are indeed extremely exquisite."

"It's really wonderful!"

"Those streets paved with strange materials are so tidy!"

……

Tsuda Sotatsu and others in the back also instantly understood the meaning of Notoya Hirahisa, so they rushed to admire the rebuilt Hakata.

Seeing everyone's behavior like this, Zhengliang was also happy in his heart, so he immediately replied: "Everyone invited everyone here this time to tell you a piece of good news. That is, Hakata Commercial Port has finally opened again. From now on, he will cooperate with Hirado Island same, becoming an open port for the Luo family’s foreign trade.”[

Although before receiving the invitation from the Luo family, everyone had a lot of speculation about the reopening of Hakata Port by the Luo family.But now that they heard the news from the Luo family's governor, they were all overjoyed and bowed down to Zhengliang with great joy.

Why are they overjoyed?Because the reopening of Hakata Port means that their smuggling trade with North Korea and even Ming Dynasty will have an additional foothold in the future.Moreover, relying on the strength of the Luo family at this time and the means of managing Hirado Island, it is impossible for Hakata not to prosper in the future, which means that they have money to make, and they are naturally very happy.

"Everyone, I think everyone wants to buy a house in Hakata Port as a commercial house. But you all know that houses in different locations have different impacts on your business. For the sake of fairness, you will Together with the commercial houses on the side of the Luo family, they will use bidding to purchase houses in various places. And they will use food for transactions uniformly, and do not accept coins and other materials for transactions. The sooner you buy the commercial houses of the houses, I will also get some preferential treatment from my family, and Master Togo Heiji from my family will give you a detailed explanation later." Masahiro said again.

Long before sending invitations to commercial houses in various places, Masara had discussed with Togo Heiji and other important ministers some measures for the opening of Hakata to the outside world.The most important of these is to sell the houses and warehouses in Hakata Port to these commercial houses from all over the world through auction bidding. Of course, in order to attract these people to buy as soon as possible, Zheng Liang also adopted some methods of offering preferential treatment in later generations.In addition, in order to raise more food for the Luo family, this time the transaction uses food as the transaction currency.

And in order to attract these people who are more interested in Hakata, when rebuilding Hakata Port, Zheng Liang adopted some layout techniques of commercial streets in later generations to build it.Before holding the tea party, Zhengliang also specially let these businessmen visit Hakata, and even invited local citizens who were celebrating festivals to hold a summer festival in Hakata to highlight the prosperity of Hakata Port.It seems that this series of arrangements has indeed played a lot of role.After Zhengliang released this news, many businessmen were already gearing up secretly, preparing to sell the place they had long wanted as quickly as possible.

After the businessmen in the yard quieted down again, Zhengliang broke out the second news that attracted everyone's praise: "Everyone, in order to strengthen the management of the newly-built Hakata Port, our family has specially formulated some regulations, and the purpose is also to protect Please take a good look at your business interests in the Luo family's territory when you go back." After speaking, Zheng Liang ordered people to send the business regulations that had been printed long ago to the hands of everyone.

Touching the doctrine volume made of exquisite paper in their hands, everyone was already amazed before they started to look at the doctrine.It is often heard that the paper made by Luo's family is the paper with the best quality and the lowest price in Japan, and now it seems that the reputation is really well-deserved.

After rubbing the fine paper for a while, everyone couldn't wait to open the book and carefully examine the relevant regulations.After all, these are all related to their vital interests.

In fact, after the previous series of inspections of the territory, Zheng Liang specially summoned the domestic retainers and some businessmen in the territory to jointly formulate a relatively complete set of business laws.These decrees are divided into two parts, one part is specifically for the internal laws of the Luo family's territory, and the other part is specifically for the commercial port islands opened to the outside world by the Luo family.

As far as the internal laws of the territory are concerned, it mainly stipulates that the territory resumes commercial taxation. However, in order to promote the development of the territory’s commerce, the law clearly stipulates that taxes must be paid within two years of the initial establishment of the commercial house, and will not be required to be paid until the third year tax.At the same time, it also provides detailed explanations and regulations on some online business management, transaction rules, traffic regulations when transporting goods, and penalty rules.

For the ports and islands that the Luo family opened to the outside world, it mainly stipulates some detailed rules for transactions in these areas, local management requirements, and punishment rules, etc., to protect the interests of local merchants and at the same time strengthen the control of the Luo family over these areas. .

These decrees specially formulated by the Luo family for business management were directly written into the Law of the Luo family.It has great historical significance in history.In Masamori's impression, only Rokkaku Dorai in the Enjiang area promulgated the "Rakushi Order" to promote commercial prosperity during the same period, agreeing to establish a new Shiji city in the castle town of Kannonji.Soon after, Yoshimoto Imagawa of the Tokai region also made regulations specifically for commerce within the territory.It can be said that the current Luo family is the first daimyo in the Warring States Period to formulate a separate country law specifically for business.
