Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

Chapter 331 Yiyu Chamber of Commerce

Zhu Biao's actions were extremely confidential, and only a few people knew about them.

It was not until they quietly arrived in the capital that the weapons were smoothly transported into the city thanks to Zhao Hui's painstaking efforts.

In addition to the common conventional guns, they are also equipped with impressive grenades, small but powerful mortars and powerful rocket launchers.

In the smoke-filled war situation at that time, such equipment was enough to make them an almost invincible and powerful team with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

However, Zhao Hui was completely unaware of the weapons they brought.

Although the emperor had secret guards, he only knew that Zhao Hui had taken action, so he quietly stationed an army of a thousand people around the palace.

at this time.

The imperial edict has been issued.

Zhao Hui, the former Prince of Yan, was enthroned as the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.

This means that Zhao Hui is about to bid farewell to the Prince of Yan's Mansion and move into the Eastern Palace.

"Your Highness, please go to the Eastern Palace with peace of mind and bring your guards with you. We will be staying near the original palace. If you need to discuss anything, please come to the palace."

Zhu Biao was summoned into the palace by Zhao Hui. After learning about the situation, he spoke to Zhao Hui respectfully.

"Xiao Ling will follow me into the East Palace in the future. If anything happens, I will let Butler Bai contact you."

The Xiao Ling Zhao Hui mentioned was the captain of the imperial guards, or what Zhao Sheng called the captain of the guards. Butler Bai, on the other hand, was Zhao Hui's personal eunuch and a highly skilled martial artist.

"This is Captain Zhu, one of the Sixth Prince's men. This is the first time I've seen him."

The voice was a little shrill, but the attitude was extremely friendly.

"Zhu Biao has met Director Bai here."

Zhu Biao knew that Butler Bai had a high status, so calling him supervisor directly was considered polite.

"Alright, we all know each other now. If anything happens in the future, please contact us immediately. Although the emperor has issued an edict, the situation remains unstable recently."

Zhao Hong's side had already begun to make moves, and after Zhao Heng's plan failed, he was scared and hid in Chuzhou, not daring to show up at all.

Because of Zhao Heng's affairs, Wei Rong was also implicated and has been under house arrest in the Prime Minister's Mansion recently. Without an imperial edict, he is not allowed to go out, let alone enter the palace.

……

Spring March.

There is still occasional light snow in Dingzhou.

This is already extremely rare weather.

The climate in Yi Yu is colder than that in Dingzhou, but this has not affected the local infrastructure at all.

With the grand opening of the trade park, this place has become extremely lively.

The population has grown rapidly.

Whether it was the people of the Great Zhou, or the herdsmen of the Xiongnu and Xianbei, wealthy people all settled here.

And most of them are second-generation rich.

The Yi Yu South Bank Chamber of Commerce has been established, and this city is destined to be without the jurisdiction of the government.

Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce’s first topic was how to station troops.

As the president, Cui Yueming was the first to put forward his own views.

"Everyone, we used to employ soldiers from the Left Camp to help maintain order. However, they are unable to travel to the North Bank. This creates a gap in law enforcement. In my opinion, we should establish a law enforcement team on both sides of the Yiyu River."

Zheng Yichuan actually agreed with the idea of ​​establishing a law enforcement team, but he felt something was not right. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Chairman Cui is absolutely right. We should indeed set up an enforcement team.

However, the North Shore may not share our ideas. I think we should, like the expressway, unite the two sides and establish numerous small teams, operating under the command of the headquarters and at the same time accepting the supervision of the various chambers of commerce."

As the chairman of the board, Zhao Mingyi naturally has a say, and his ideas are more inclined towards Zheng Yichuan.

"What both presidents said is excellent. We should select representatives from all chambers of commerce on both sides of the strait to participate and jointly form a law enforcement team. Furthermore, it's not appropriate for the chambers of commerce to directly participate. Instead, they should select a supervisory body.

I personally believe that this Supervisory Commission should not only be responsible for the law enforcement team, but also supervise a series of non-governmental organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, the law enforcement team and the Chamber of Commerce also have the right to supervise this Supervisory Commission.

As soon as Zhao Mingyi said this, people below immediately started talking.

One of the board members asked, “Shouldn’t we expand the Chamber of Commerce to allow more people to participate in elections?”

After hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

"Then we'll expand the membership for now. We'll call it the expanded council, and they'll be able to participate in elections. Also, we'll hold expanded meetings once a year—no! Twice a year."

Zhao Mingyi said excitedly.

All of their behaviors are somewhat influenced by those of Weizhou officials, which is the result of Zhao Sheng's teaching.

The first proposal of the meeting was passed smoothly.

The second topic is the issue of the Yi people.

Some businessmen pointed out that there are too many refugees around Yi Yu nowadays, and the number is showing an increasing trend.

People have different opinions on this issue.

Although Zhao Mingyi was not a saint, when he was doing business in Weizhou, Zhao Sheng once mentioned the definition of a businessman.

So he stood up and said, "Although we are businessmen, while creating wealth, we must also shoulder social responsibilities. If we are poor, we should take care of ourselves; if we are rich, we should help the world."

After hearing this, Cui Yueming quickly asked, "Manager Zhao, do you have any brilliant ideas?"

"Actually, we can completely adopt a multi-faceted business model, or let these people engage in oligopolistic sales to revitalize the local economy. Just because we don't do something doesn't mean we can't let others do it."

Zhao Mingyi blurted out, and recalled what Zhao Sheng had said about the future plans for Yi Yu.

"For example, rickshaw shops, porters, ferries, teahouses, and snack shops. Many families even need to temporarily hire maids and servants. We can provide more employment opportunities for these people. If we can help them solve their food and clothing problems right now, that would be the greatest help."

Everyone was wealthy, and after hearing what Zhao Mingyi said, they all felt that it made sense.

If these people were employed here, it would also avoid bringing in too many servants from their hometowns.

"If we have enough time, perhaps more handicraft manufacturing industries will emerge here. Some things cannot all be processed elsewhere and then sold here."

Seeing that no one had any objection, Zhao Mingyi added his own point of view.

"Okay, I think what Manager Zhao said makes a lot of sense." Zheng Yichuan couldn't help but applaud.

Under Zhao Mingyi's advocacy, the Nan'an Industrial Bureau and the Nan'an Security Bureau were successively established.

The main task of the Yi Yu Nan'an Industrial Bureau is to arrange employment for some people and prevent anyone from withholding the monthly wages of employed people.

The Public Security Bureau and the Law Enforcement Bureau have similarities, but the Public Security Bureau only intervenes in certain phenomena occurring in society. It has management authority but not law enforcement authority.

In later generations, many people know that some management units often exercise law enforcement powers, but they do not know that these are illegal acts and are only done because of administrative intervention.

The Public Security Bureau's suggestions were also proposed by Mr. Zhao at the beginning. One is to regulate the behavior of businessmen, and the other is to regulate the behavior of personnel.

After all, Yi Yu is an area without any government jurisdiction.
