Chapter 715

Just after noon, the Luo family envoy, Shenwu Shaoce, officially invited merchants such as Nodouya Heijiu, who were present, to the courtyard where Masayoro was.

This yard was built based on the guidance of Master Chanrong, a monk from the local Holy Fuku Temple in Hakata. It contains the artistic conception of changing four seasons in one courtyard and one courtyard. It is best to use it to taste tea and enjoy the scenery. The courtyard in the other courtyard is also called the Tea Court, and a straw shed is set up in it. Masayora, Togo Heiji and others have already sat there, waiting for the merchants to arrive.

"Let's meet the repair doctor." After saluting, the merchants sat down one by one. The best position on the left was already seated, namely the representative of the divine house, the representative of the divine house, the representative of the Luo family, the representative of the Luo family, the representative of the Luo family, the representative of the Ming Dynasty merchant Wang Hai, the representative of the Ming Dynasty merchant Zuo Moyang, who stayed in the territory of the Luo family, was responsible for handling business, the representative left by the southern barbarian Zhu Qinfeng, and some leaders of the Luo family who gradually flourished in the local area of ​​the Luo family.

When everyone saw that the sacred house Shaoce, which was once a small businessman in Hakata Bay, had become an important official of the Luo family, and the sacred house of his family was also well-managed, it immediately made many people's eyes look envious. The sacred house Shaoce ignored the eyes of these people. He had defected to the Luo family very early, and his son (that is, the sacred house Zongzhan, one of the three major merchants in the Warring States Period in the future) was also the small surname of Masayoro. His status had long been different, so there was no need to pay attention to the grassroots in these eyes. The people in the tea party, plus the people on Masayoro's side, had a total of more than 30 people. It can be said that he invited some powerful merchants in the west of Kyoto.

Seeing that everyone was about to sit down, Zhengliang took the lead and said:

"I am very honored to be invited to come."

"You are polite to repair doctor. The Luo family has always taken good care of our shopping malls. We should thank the adults." Heiki Nobuya said immediately. What he said was indeed not bad. They have obtained a lot of rare local goods on the Heido Island of the Luo family over the past few years, and then sold them to Kanto and other areas, making a lot of price difference.

"We are also in a mood like Lord Pingkua, and we are grateful to the Luo family." Sohi Imai, who was waiting in the house, also agreed. After that, everyone spoke one after another. The voices of everyone praising Masayora suddenly sounded in the yard.

"I really feel your feelings. I will hold a tea party here today to bring you closer to you. Please continue to support the rule of the Luo family."

"Natural! Should be!" Everyone replied immediately. Only the Luo family can bring benefits to us. We are definitely a die-hard allies who support the Luo family. Everyone answered loudly while thinking in their hearts.

"state!"

The bamboo tube filled with water was placed on the rocks, making a crisp sound. The scenery in the courtyard was imprinted into the eyes.

Because it is already summer, the trees and grass in the courtyard are covered with green leaves. Coupled with the warm sunshine and the sound of tingling water, it shows a vibrant meaning. It is just like the rising momentum of the Luo family, and it has just begun. Guests here must understand the host's care for the arrangement of the teahouse. This is an important part of the tea party.

After enjoying the scenery for a while, Zhengliang invited everyone to sit in the house, and the "first seat" in the tea party began.

Sitting down, as a guest, the master of tea ceremony Master Chanrong, the master of tea ceremony Master Chanrong, said: "Chutan. I will add it to you." After that, he sat by the ground fire, added cherry trees and charcoal, used a fire hook to tick it twice, and sat back to his original position. As the first monk at the Holy Fuku Temple in Japanese history, which introduced Chinese tea ceremony, and was also the famous master of tea ceremony Master Chanrong to serve as the duty of Chutan.

The purpose of the tea party is to talk about his thoughts. Everyone has a deep understanding in religion, and they are all good at human beings, knowing that Zhengliang has something to say. So they all looked at Zhengliang waiting for him to speak.

The time was brewing, and Masayoshi finally entered the opera and said, "Everyone, I believe that I have visited Hakata Port when I came here to attend the tea party. I wonder what you think about this?"

"It's a masterpiece, and the construction style is a bit similar to that of the Ming Dynasty at this time!" He could climb the house and become a mature man. He knew that Masayoshi wanted someone to come forward to praise the situation after the reconstruction of Hakata. He was afraid that some guys who were not open to their eyes would tell lies with their eyes open (after all, there was no way for merchants who had been involved in the crowd who came to fight against the Luo family. In order to avoid being disrupted by these guys, he must be extra careful of their chance to cooperate with the Luo family this time), so he immediately spoke up and set the tone of the topic.

“Those rows of buildings that were built almost exactly the same are indeed extremely exquisite.”

“It’s really wonderful!”

“Those streets laid out of strange materials are so neat!”

...

Tsuda Soda and others behind also instantly understood the meaning of being able to get into the room and Heiha, so they rushed to admire Hakata who was rebuilt.

Seeing everyone doing this, Masayoro was also happy, so he immediately replied, "You will invite everyone to come this time to tell you good news. That is, Hakata Shopping Port has finally opened again. In the future, he will become an open port for the Luo family's foreign trade like Hirado Island."

Although everyone had speculations about the reopening of the Luo family's Hokkaido Port when they received the invitation from the Luo family. But now they heard the news from the Luo family's governor in person, they were all very surprised and bowed to Masayoro.

Why were they so happy? Because the reopening of Hakata Port to the outside world means that they will have an additional focus on smuggling trade with North Korea and even the Ming Dynasty in the future. Moreover, with the strength of the Luo family at this time and the means of operating Hirado Island, it is impossible for Hakata to not prosper in the future. This means that they have money to make money, so they are naturally very happy.

"Everyone, I believe everyone hopes to buy a house in Hakata Port for commercial use. But I believe you know that the impact of houses in different locations on your purchases and sales is different. For fairness, you will be together with the shopping malls of the Luo family, and you will use bidding to buy houses in various places. And you will also use grain to trade, and do not accept coins and other materials to trade. The sooner you buy the houses of the house, you will also receive some discounts from me. My family's Lord Hiraji Togo will explain it specifically to you later." Masayoro said again.

Before sending invitations to shopping malls everywhere, Masayoshi discussed some measures for the opening up of Hakata to the outside world with the important officials of Togo Heiji and others. The most important one is to sell the houses and warehouses in Hakata Port to these shopping malls from all over the country by auction. Of course, in order to attract these people to buy as soon as possible, Masayoshi also adopted some measures to provide preferential treatment in later generations. In addition, in order to raise more grain for the Luo family, this time the transaction was unified with grain as trading coins.

Moreover, in order to attract these people to be more interested in Hakata, when rebuilding Hakata Port, Masara used some layout techniques of later commercial streets to build. Before the tea party, Masarara also asked these merchants to visit Hakata, and even found local leaders who were celebrating the festival to hold a summer festival in Hakata to highlight the prosperity of Hakata Port. It seems that this series of arrangements have indeed played a lot of role. After Masarara released this news, many merchants were already secretly ready to pick up the place they had liked as quickly as possible.

After the merchants in the yard calmed down again, Zhengliang once again revealed the second news that attracted everyone's praise: "Everyone, in order to strengthen the management of the newly built Hakata Port, our company has specially formulated some regulations, the purpose is to protect your commercial interests in the Luo family territory. Please consult them carefully after going back." After that, Zhengliang ordered people to deliver the long-printed trade orders to everyone.

When they touched the doctrine scroll made of exquisite paper in their hands, everyone was already amazed before they even started to check the doctrine. It is often heard that the paper made by the Luo family is the best quality and lowest price in Japan. Now it looks good.

After rubbing these exquisite papers for a while, everyone couldn't wait to open the book and carefully check the relevant regulations. After all, these are all about their vital interests.

In fact, after a series of inspections of the territory in the previous period, Zhengliang specially convened the internal affairs retainers and some merchants in the territory to jointly formulate a relatively complete set of commercial laws. These laws are divided into two parts, one is a special decree specifically targeting the internal laws of the Luo family, and the other part is a special decree specifically targeting the commercial port islands that the Luo family has opened to the public.

For the internal laws of the territory, it mainly stipulates that the territory will resume commercial taxes, but in order to promote the development of territorial commerce, the laws clearly stipulate that no taxes are required to be paid within two years of initial establishment of commercial houses, and taxes are not required until the third year. At the same time, it also provides detailed explanations and regulations on some commercial management, transaction rules, transportation regulations for goods transport, and penalty rules.

The ports and islands that the Luo family opened to the outside world mainly stipulated in detail the transaction rules, local management requirements, and punishment rules in these areas. While protecting the interests of local merchants, the Luo family's control over these areas is also strengthened.
