The midsummer of the eleventh year of Xuanping.

The streets of Shanghai in the early morning are not as quiet and elegant as other places. Instead, they look lively and messy. On Huangpu Road in the business district, in the middle of the road, many horse-drawn carriages of various styles are driving on the road.

Some are luxurious four-wheeled carriages with family lanterns hanging on them, some are two-wheeled carriages, and some are single-horse and single-seater carriages, and some young people simply ride on horses.

Sandwiched among them were several oversized stagecoaches pulled by four horses, and each stagecoach was crowded with people rushing to work.

On both sides of the road, there are many people walking on the road in a hurry. Some of them are wearing clean robes, trying to make themselves look more decent, some are wearing gorgeous clothes and swaying their servants, and some are wearing tattered clothes. Patched clothes, but they all have the same characteristic, that is, the rush of footsteps.

They walked, and then successively entered the office buildings of major companies on both sides of the road.

At this time, it is the rush hour in the business district. Whenever this time, Huangpu Road, where many companies gather, is the most congested time. A large number of carriages gather, making the patrol officers in charge of this place very busy. Some Patrol officers are directing traffic on the road, arranging the safe and orderly passage of pedestrians, carriages and horses.

And some patrol officers patrol both sides of the street, looking at every passing pedestrian with scrutiny eyes.

In the past two weeks, there have been frequent vicious cases of theft and even street robbery in this area of ​​Huangpu Road.

You must know that this place is not an ordinary place, but a street with the highest concentration of medium and large companies in the whole of Shanghai, and even in the whole country. If you look left and right, you can see the signs of those large companies casually. Royal Bank Shanghai Branch , Zhili Textile Bank Headquarters, Jiangnan Textile Company Headquarters, Third Securities Company Headquarters, Huangpu River Shipyard Headquarters, Susong Silk Reeling Company, etc., are all well-known large-scale enterprises in China.

Someone once said that the funds that Huangpu Road can collect is definitely more than 100 million taels!

This is a street flowing with gold!

And there are all kinds of people working here, including the lowest-level cleaners, service personnel, etc., as well as ordinary employees and middle and lower-level officials of the company, and of course, the top management of major enterprises.

Among these high-level managers are officials from the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises with official titles in government-run enterprises, as well as children of famous gentry families.

Because of the large number of people, and many of them are decent people, they also carry a lot of money, so it has become the best crime place in the eyes of many types of thieves or simply robbers and other criminals. .

However, the Yamen Branch of the Patrol Police in the Commercial and Commercial District also attaches great importance to the security of the place, and has dispatched a lot of police to maintain the security. `The robbery case made the Yamen of the Commercial District Patrol Sub-Bureau furious. For this reason, a large number of police forces have been dispatched to investigate the case.

It's just that those daring criminals have not been caught, so now we can only strengthen the patrol police force to avoid such cases from happening again. Otherwise, the pressure on the yamen of the patrol police sub-bureau will be very great.

The patrolmen on the streets carried out intensive patrols. There was no robbery and robbery this morning. It was just that two carriages collided because they could not avoid it, but it was only a minor collision. The owners of the carriages were also decent people and held their own identities. Of course, they will not slander or even do it in the street like those shrews.

They just looked at the situation a little, and when they asked, they found that their company was separated by a building. They immediately exchanged famous posts and agreed to attend a business party a few days later.

This small traffic accident did not require the police to deal with it, nor did it block the traffic. Therefore, although the Huangpu Road was extremely busy, with many horses and carriages, and many pedestrians, it was always smooth.

On the street, a short and thin boy of about ten years old, wearing a gray short robe full of patches, no shoes, and bare feet was carrying a large cloth bag, which was filled with a heavy stack of Datang Chaobao is hawking along the street.

These newsboys are also a new occupation of the Tang Empire in recent years. Most of these newsboys are children from poor families, or even orphans, and they are relatively young. If they want to work, it is difficult to find a job. There is no technical content to do some newspaper sales, and it does not require much physical work.

In fact, most of the newsboys in the Datang Empire today are orphans and children from poor families. In addition to their meager income, they are also related to the intentional actions of the newspaper company, because in order to make some young orphans who are hard to find jobs , the children of poor families get a job within their ability, and the newspaper department expressly ordered that when newspaper offices in various places hire newsboys, priority should be given to orphans and poor children.

This is also one of the many poverty alleviation policies of the empire. In addition to these, there are naturally other corresponding poverty alleviation policies and welfare institutions, such as nursing homes, orphanages and so on.

However, in the many poverty alleviation policies of the Datang Empire, there are few policies such as direct payment of subsidies. Orphans, the policy of the Empire is to provide them with a job within their means to meet their living needs.

Today, this ten-year-old boy on the street is struggling to carry a large bag of newspapers. This large pile of newspapers is not too heavy for an adult, but it is not too heavy for a thin boy like him. That said, it is quite laborious to carry.

But this boy, although wearing clothes full of patches and no boots, the tattered clothes are washed very cleanly, and his hands are also clean, because this way, he can not stain these newspapers!

He shouted that when he went to pick up the Chaobao today, the people from the Chaobao Division taught them what to say: "The Chaobao, the Chaobao, the third edition of the business law is officially issued!"

"The Nanyang barbarians invaded, and the situation in Wandan is unstable!"

These slogans, according to the adults in the Korean newspaper department, are specifically aimed at people in the business district, because they are most concerned about business laws, and they are also concerned about the situation in Southeast Asia, not to mention business laws, but they are concerned about Southeast Asia, because The situation in Southeast Asia is directly related to overseas trade, and fluctuations in overseas trade will even directly reflect on the stock market.

Soon, a man in a brocade robe with a servant walked up to him. The brocade man didn't say anything, but the servant on the side stepped forward and said, "Come here for a newspaper!"

"Okay!" The boy handed over the newspaper, and then took a copper coin from the servant's hand. This is a copper coin worth five wen coins, and it is also the unified price of the Tang Dynasty newspaper nationwide!

Compared with the price of ten papers when it was first released, the price of Datang Chaobao has been reduced by half. Of course, there are improvements in printing technology and papermaking technology. The cost reduction has something to do with the smooth development of the commercial advertisements of the Datang Chaobao.

At present, the advertising revenue of Datang Chaobao already occupies most of the income of the newspaper, and the selling price of the newspaper actually only occupies a small part. Today's Wuwen, the Chaobao Division feels that it is a bit high. , is also prepared to continue to reduce prices to achieve wider coverage, more widely to promote imperial policy.

If you say ordinary merchants, of course it is impossible to put money without making money, and continue to cut prices when they are already very cheap, but the newspaper company is not a commercial organization, it is a serious official institution of the imperial court, the empire The mouthpieces that guide public opinion have never been for profit. They charge advertising fees and newspaper fees just to maintain operations. Otherwise, they would like to directly distribute the newspapers for free!

Because the larger the circulation and the wider the coverage, the official voice of the Empire can spread to more places~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to guide and control public opinion.

After taking the newspaper from the servant, Geng Youhua just flipped through it. He didn't care much about other content, he only cared about the third edition of Business Law.

Sure enough, the headline on the front page means that the Son of Heaven has officially approved the implementation of the third edition of the business law, and announced that the world, the business law, and even the many laws of the Tang Empire are one of the most important laws, and their importance is even It is comparable to criminal law, because this law, and even the general outline of many commercial laws, strictly speaking, today's corporate law, patent law, and other industrial and commercial laws are all framed within the framework of commercial law.

How could Geng Youhua not pay attention to the changes in the general outline of business law!

You must know that his family has completely transformed into the industrial and commercial industry many years ago. In the past, the fields of the family were all sold off.

Before the Geng family entered industry and commerce, although major industrial areas had generally appeared in the empire, most of the factories were concentrated in some emerging industries, especially the textile industry, which was a key area for private capital to fight.

However, in the field of porcelain, the core industry of their Geng family, there were no large-scale professional factories at that time, and the porcelain factories that supplied domestic and foreign porcelain were still traditional hand-made porcelain.

Under the leadership of Geng Youhua, the Geng family sold the world and the shops. It was difficult to gather enough funds to customize the machinery and equipment for the production of porcelain from Zhaoqing Machinery Company. This whole set of customized equipment cost the Geng family. almost all of the liquidity that can be pooled.

But when the equipment was installed and put into production, the entire Geng family was stunned!

Even Geng Youhua, who led the purchase of this mechanical production and made his own porcelain production into industrial production, was frightened by the sales of this mechanical production!
