Simply put, the position in charge of the Imperial Commerce Bureau is both official and commercial. If managing assets for the Imperial Commerce Bureau, it equals to being a manager of a state-owned enterprise; if providing or selling goods for the bureau, it equals to being a partner of a state-owned enterprise.
The establishment of the Imperial Commerce Bureau also brought quite a shock to the merchants of Da Rong.
After the petition from the Ministry of Personnel was submitted, many merchants from the Capital City began to take action.
Even Luo Shang, who had just moved to the Capital City, sought out Yang Zhenshan.
In the tea room of the back hall of the Marquis Mansion, Luo Shang poured tea for Yang Zhenshan, "Marquis, about the Imperial Merchant matters!"
He looked at Yang Zhenshan with a face full of expectations.
The head of the Imperial Commerce Bureau, even if it's just a nominal position, is fatally attractive to merchants.
