Warring States Eagle

Chapter 918 Commercial Reform

At present, there are mainly two problems existing in Luo's business:

One is the exchange rate between the gold, silver, and copper within the territory and the gold, silver, and copper of the forces outside the territory.Because the Luo family has mastered more advanced smelting technology, the quality of the private money minted by the Luo family itself, such as gold, silver and copper coins, is much better than that of other forces in the Warring States Period.Therefore, when the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet traded with external forces, they all traded with each other based on the ratio standard to ensure that the Luo family would not suffer losses.

However, with the continuous expansion of the territory of the Luo family, it is actually difficult to control the business activities in the border areas or even in the internal areas.As a result, many merchants tried their best to bypass the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet and directly trade with the Luo family's citizens, and the way of trading was to directly exchange the low-quality private money in their hands with the private money issued internally by the Luo family at an equivalent value on the surface, and then The leader took the low-quality private money and went to the cabinet to replace it with the private money of the Luo family.As a result, the Luo family will naturally suffer.

Of course, in order to prevent this situation, the Luo family can directly issue a new decree to forcibly stop this behavior of exchanging private money from other forces with private money issued internally by the Luo family.It's just that this period of time is a critical period for the Luo family to vigorously promote the circulation of private money minted by themselves within the Luo family, thus establishing a complete money system within the Luo family.And the method of obtaining the private money of other forces in the hands of the leader through equivalent replacement is also one of the ways to promote the Luo family's own coins to penetrate into the daily life of the leader.For this reason, the Luo family also issued relevant regulations.Now it is suddenly canceled or even eliminated, which is tantamount to self-handicapping.

Another serious problem is the entangled relationship between the Cabinet of Ministers and the Roche House.At the beginning of the Roche family.Due to the limited strength of the family.And the territory is limited.Therefore, it is necessary for the Cabinet to directly control the commerce of the territory, which is beneficial for the Luo family to gather all the manpower and material resources of the territory to develop the territory.Only after more than ten years of development, the commercial system of the Luo family's territory has been gradually formed. The way the cabinet directly controls the business of the territory has in turn restricted the development of businesses within the territory, and it has also continued to consume all kinds of resources accumulated by the Luo family. supplies.To put it more clearly, in the past, when the cabinet controlled the territory's commerce, it was in terms of overall revenue and expenditure.It is because the income is not enough to pay, and the annual investment expenditure of the cabinet on the territory is often greater than the income obtained from business and trade.

Due to this situation for a long time, some retainers in the Cabinet gradually formed a habit of "Anyway, the money is not his, so just spend it as you like", lacking the concept of "making money from money" and earning benefits for the Luo family (modern Ming , the most prominent example of this situation is the state-owned enterprises of the Celestial Dynasty).Moreover, because the Cabinet controls the entire process of raw materials, production, and sales of goods, it also limits the prosperity of free commerce in the territory to a certain extent.This has made it difficult to form a non-government "money begets money" system.If the Luo family intends to obtain more commercial income from the territory in the future, this model must be changed.

Moreover, due to the entangled relationship between the cabinet and the commercial houses in the territory, there will be some political problems in it.And the most important question of this era.It's not just about money and power, but it also involves wars with other forces and even the survival of one's own family.

It is precisely from the Territory Intelligence Pavilion and Fadu Fengxing that several cases of corruption by the retainers in the territory have been discovered.Zhengliang gradually realized this problem.So Zhengliang decided to build a new business system more suitable for the territory.

This new business system, externally, will completely change the Luo family from the previous raw material and finished product production place to a business place that only sells finished products and constantly absorbs raw materials and finished products from external forces. As for the internal raw materials, it is Keep it, or just open it to the inside.At the same time, by selling its own products, it will wage another war against other forces economically and culturally.

Internally, the Interior Cabinet will be completely separated from the Roche House. The Interior Cabinet will be responsible for overall control of various raw materials in the territory and the sale of various raw materials (most raw materials are not allowed to be sold, only some raw materials such as salt fields and fishing grounds are allowed) sell).At the same time, he is responsible for the production of some unique and important products of the Luo family (such as snow salt, sugar, silk, paper, books, ships, weapon workshops, cement workshops, etc.).Generally speaking, the Cabinet is responsible for controlling the raw materials and the production of some important products. It not only controls the economy of the territory from the source, but also monitors the development of the economy of the territory from the perspective of an outsider to ensure the sound development of the economy of the territory. Give out a part of the power to operate trade, so that the people can benefit.

The reason for this is mainly for the development needs of the Luo family.After all, this era is not a modern Ming society. If he imitates the modern society and engages in so-called free trade, then Zheng Liang will really have a brain cramp.If the Luo family still wants to control the territory, prevent the territory economy from falling into chaos, and provide more support for the development and expansion of the Luo family, then the above aspects are absolutely not allowed to be opened.

As for the Roche House that was separated from the Interior Cabinet, it will trade with the Interior Cabinet as a private merchant house, and at the same time conduct trade with other private merchant houses inside the territory and other merchant houses outside the territory as a merchant house .At this point, Luo's house, as a normal business house, has become a private trading house that represents the Luo family's internal and external trade.

In addition, the Roche House will also purchase raw materials that can be sold from the Cabinet to produce some commodities needed for daily life in the Roche family territory.On the whole, Luoshi House has both internal and external trade powers in private trade.And it is the only commercial house that has both internal and external trade rights.Since the owners of the commercial house were almost all Zhengliang's women, it was actually an important source of property for Zhengliang's private coffers.

As for the other commercial houses within the Luo family's territory, these commercial houses only have the right to trade internally, and they will participate in the internal trade of the Luo family in two ways.One is to become a branch of Luo's House in various places in Luo's family territory by means of a franchise store. All sales methods and management methods are strictly in accordance with Luo's House, and the owner will receive dividends from the operation of the business house.This was determined by Zheng Liang deliberately referring to the management methods of the later Ming Dynasty.
