Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng

The Chamber of Commerce opened on that day.

Gao Zhijun got up early in the morning, washed up, and went out to have breakfast.

Today, both the Huo family and the Sun family went to the Chamber of Commerce to help.

After breakfast, everyone took a carriage to the Chamber of Commerce.

Liu Ningchu also took his daughter-in-law to the Chamber of Commerce to support his daughter.

The Queen, the Empress Dowager, the Concubine Dowager, and the Crown Princess also left the palace and went to the Chamber of Commerce as guests to support Gao Zhijun and see if there was anyone so blind as to dare to cause trouble.

When Gao Zhijun arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, many people had already gathered around him.

Gao Zhijun brought the Huo family and the Sun family into the Chamber of Commerce building and arranged them in the backyard, where the guests had dinner.

Today's banquet has been changed to a buffet, and everyone can take the food they like and eat it according to their favorite combination.

The Huo family and the Sun family helped here, and Gao Zhijun went to the front yard to preside over it.

The Chamber of Commerce building is divided into two parts. The front yard is where the office is located. It is a three-story courtyard with five entrances and five exits. The back yard is a place for banquets and rest.

The banquet was held on the first, second and third floors of the backyard, which were temporary resting places. If the guests were tired or drunk and no servants came to take them away, they could pay to stay overnight.

The cost of accommodation in the backyard was all given to the imperial court as the treasury. This suppressed those officials and wealthy businessmen who wanted to cause trouble, as well as the dirty business they wanted to do.

The second and third floors of the backyard are equivalent to the restaurant in the previous life and the inn now.

Gao Zhijun arrived at the front yard, and Ji Mingchuan also came with the Ji family.

He also brought his family to the backyard, and then came over to receive the guests with Gao Zhijun.

"Welcome, gentlemen and ladies, please come in!"

The butler of the princess's mansion, the butler of the Ji family, the butler of the Duke of Weiguo, and the butler of the prince's mansion were all at the gate of the Chamber of Commerce to welcome the wealthy businessmen.

Members of the Chamber of Commerce also came to help early in the morning.

There are a total of ten members in the Chamber of Commerce. All of them have assets of over one million taels of silver and are wealthy businessmen with high moral character to be qualified.

Gao Zhijun organized the Chamber of Commerce into a group. She was the president, Ji Mingchuan and Huo Jinzhou were vice presidents, and they had different divisions of labor.

Ji Mingchuan worked under her, managing all the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce.

Huo Jinzhou is in charge of the shop and is in charge of reviewing whether Zhuangzi is qualified to join the Chamber of Commerce.

The members of the Chamber of Commerce are equivalent to directors, and they have to assist Ji Mingchuan and Huo Jinzhou in handling the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce.

"President, we are here to help. Please let us know if you have any questions."

One of the members of the Chamber of Commerce is Feng Guanhao, who is in the tea business and has shops all over Daliang. His tea is reasonably priced and is honest.

"Yes, just tell us if you have anything!"

The second member of the Chamber of Commerce is Shui Junting, a pottery merchant. The pottery in Daliang is basically monopolized by the Shui family, which is the second leader besides the Ji family.

“President,…………”

The third member of the Chamber of Commerce is Lei Gang, a cloth merchant who has opened many shops in Daliang.

…………

The members of the Chamber of Commerce expressed their loyalty to Gao Zhijun one by one, and Gao Zhijun asked them to help entertain the guests.

As soon as the emperor attended the morning court, he also came to see how the Chamber of Commerce was opening.

Huo Jinqian, Murong Yuanbo, and the Minister of Revenue rushed to the Chamber of Commerce as soon as the morning court was over. They wanted to help.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince also went to the Chamber of Commerce.

When the auspicious time arrived, Gao Zhijun had people set off firecrackers to celebrate.

As the sound of cannons continued, people outside were watching the excitement, and the children were shouting and jumping.

"Dear fellow villagers, dear masters and ladies, today is the grand day of the opening of the Chamber of Commerce!"

"The Chamber of Commerce helps everyone unify the prices of goods, and also helps all the owners to tide over the difficulties together."

"I am the president of the Chamber of Commerce. I hereby promise everyone that if we encounter natural disasters or man-made disasters, our Chamber of Commerce will help you get through them."

Gao Zhijun stepped forward to give a speech, and after she finished, there was warm applause from the audience.

After Gao Zhijun finished her speech, it was Ji Mingchuan's turn to speak.

What he said was very appealing and everyone applauded him warmly.

"The opening ceremony is over. Please move to the backyard. There are all kinds of delicious food waiting for you."

Huo Jinzhou stepped forward and said, then he took everyone to the backyard.

Because it was ancient times, people paid more attention to the difference between men and women. Therefore, the banquet hall on the first floor was divided into two parts, one for male guests and the other for female guests.

The waiters for men are men, and the waiters for women are women.

When Huo Jinqian and his friends arrived, the Chamber of Commerce's opening ceremony had already ended and everyone was in the backyard.

Gao Zhijun took Ji Mingchuan to pick them up in person.

"Why are you so late? The party is about to start."

Gao Zhijun asked Huo Jinqian, Murong Yuanbo, the Minister of Revenue, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince and others.

"We have to discuss the reception of foreign envoys today, so it's late."

The prince explained.

In ten days, envoys from the four countries will come to pay homage, and they will be busy again.

"Come with me!"

Gao Zhijun had also heard about the foreign envoys coming to pay homage to the emperor.

It was her first time to celebrate the New Year in the capital, and she had just learned about foreign envoys coming to the capital to pay tribute. Every year, the Honglu Temple would receive them and take them to Daliang for food, drink and fun.

Gao Zhijun took the prince and others to a magnificent hall, which was an exclusive private room specially used to entertain guests of noble status.

Because they are all family members, there is no distinction between male and female guests.

When they entered, the Queen Mother was already inside. They were happily chatting with Liu Ningchu, Hong Qiujue and the others.
