Chapter 339 Daming Chamber of Commerce

very good. "Zhu Youjian praised Shen Baichuan without hesitation and was very satisfied with his performance this time.

After Shen Baichuan received the important information provided by his son Shen Lian, he immediately sent people to investigate the details of several major chambers of commerce in the capital, and sent another person to investigate the detailed information and business conditions of Yi Tong and his two uncles.

In terms of investigating and obtaining intelligence, the underground forces are stronger than Jinyiwei. In just half a day, his subordinates presented the collected intelligence data to Shen Baichuan.

Shen Baichuan took the time to sort it out, and before it got dark, he entered the palace before Tian Boguang, making Zhu Youjian Longyan happy.

He knew the role and purpose of the Chamber of Commerce in his heart, but he was so busy that he neglected it.

The next step is to discuss countermeasures with the three major military advisors.

Since there was no movement in the Qing Empire for the time being, several elite troops had already built defensive positions at designated locations. All kinds of military supplies had arrived, and military advisor Gu Junming returned to the capital.

"Your Majesty, since the Donglin Party can control these chambers of commerce, why don't Your Majesty establish a chamber of commerce and take control of it." Gu Junming thought for a while and put forward his own idea.

Establish a new chamber of commerce to fight against those chambers of commerce controlled by the Donglin Party. As members, you can win over small businessmen who are about to be unable to survive due to store closures and strikes. The emperor himself will serve as the president. The purpose is to provide small businessmen who join the chamber of commerce. Businessmen support.

Of course, the emperor is only the president in name, and it is the vice president who really handles the affairs. The emperor only needs to support a few loyal vice presidents to take charge of the operation of the chamber of commerce.

In this way, it is just a joke for those businessmen controlled by the Donglin Party to close their shops and go on strike.

"Very good, the Chamber of Commerce will be named Daming Chamber of Commerce."

Zhu Youjian smiled. He did have this idea. Don't underestimate those small businessmen who are not financially strong enough. But there are many of them. As long as they unite, they can compete with those wealthy businessmen or aristocratic families who have huge financial resources.

The prerequisite is that he, as the emperor, supports these small businessmen, so that they have the courage to stand on the front desk and go head-to-head with those wealthy businessmen with strong financial resources.

Originally, as long as he supported these small businessmen, they would be grateful, but Zhu Youjian felt that in order to truly win over these small businessmen, he would give some benefits to motivate these small businessmen and increase their loyalty. Enhance their cohesion.

Of course, there must be some people who will play dirty tricks, cause harm behind the scenes, or even kill people. He will tell Tian Boguang and Shen Baichuan to keep an eye on them secretly, and punish each one severely if they are caught.

In order to scare the monkeys and act as a deterrent, the first batch of unlucky ones will definitely have their homes ransacked and their heads chopped off.

"I think this is not enough." Zhu Youjian said through gritted teeth. The establishment of the Daming Chamber of Commerce alone was not enough to deter the wealthy businessmen and aristocrats controlled by the Donglin Party. He wanted to make a fuss about the industrial and commercial business licenses and force those guys to choose sides. Otherwise, there is no need to do business to make money.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

Gu Junming, Song Xiance, and Wu Buwei all felt slightly trembling in their hearts. The murderous intention in the emperor's heart became more and more serious. God knows how many people lost their heads. However, they brought it on themselves and did not deserve sympathy.

After settling the matter with the Chamber of Commerce, Gu Junming stopped talking and just sipped tea leisurely, as if nothing had anything to do with him.

Song Xiance and Wu Buwei exchanged glances, and then Wu Buwei stood up and expressed some of his ideas and suggestions.

His ideas and suggestions were all aimed at Zhou Sichang, the deputy censor of supervision. Since there was no evidence that Zhou Sichang accepted bribes, he could only adopt round-the-clock surveillance. As long as he found out which businessmen Zhou Sichang had contact with, the next step would be easy.

"Well……"

Zhu Youjian frowned in thought. He understood what Wu Buwei said. The breakthrough point was the businessmen who gave money to Zhou Sichang, but it would take some time. As for Zhou Sichang's son Yitong Yitong, and his two younger brothers, they could only serve as evidence.

Of course, everything has its surprises, and there may be some unexpected gains.

"That's all it can do." Zhu Youjian nodded helplessly. This old guy Zhou Sichang was hidden too deeply and was really not easy to deal with.

"Xuanhuang Dafa."
