Of course, mutual benefit is certain.

The Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce is also quite powerful. The ports along the Yangtze River, such as Yichang, Jingzhou, Yueyang, Wuhan, Jiujiang, Anqing, Zhenjiang, Suzhou, Yangzhou, etc., cover more than a dozen provinces and have broad trade prospects.

Through the Yangtze River, Jiangxi porcelain, Sichuan brocade, Hunan embroidery, etc., you can all go to Shanghai to ship export trade, and the transportation cost can be greatly reduced.

Therefore, the cooperation between the Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce and the Maritime Chamber of Commerce can also make a lot of profits.

But the biggest goal of the Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce is not to make money, but to get civil servants so as to be on par with other chambers of commerce.

It is not for the sake of being competitive, but for the official recognition of the court and endorsement and support of the emperor.

There are all titles of Yi Shang, including the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, but the Yangtze Chamber of Commerce does not. No matter how you look at it, you all think that the dwarf is not worth enough in the emperor's mind.

In fact, the emperor did not have the intention to favor one or the other, and he also remembered his contribution to the Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce.

However, if you want to give the title of Yi Shang, you must be justified. If you accumulate merits to a certain extent, you will take the initiative to give it to him without the efforts of the Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce.

As the actions to deal with major disasters become increasingly large, the role of the Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce is prominent, and it is not difficult to accumulate merit and contributions.

"Long live, what do we do, let's do our best. Long live, wise, it's all in my eyes." Li Dan reached out to signal Sun Weida to drink tea, and said earnestly like a person who has experienced it.

Naturally, Sun Weida would not say anything complained, nodded repeatedly to agree, and bowed to the north to praise the emperor's wisdom and magical martial arts.

Li Dan pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "Mekong Province immigration development is a good opportunity. President Sun didn't recruit anyone to try it?"

Li Dan's adopted son Li Guozhu was able to recruit immigrants and passed the imperial examination and was awarded the position of county magistrate. Although he was only a seventh rank, he had real power and was higher than a reputational civil servant.

Sun Weida shook her head with a wry smile and said, "The news was too late, and it was not as good as Brother Li. When he wanted to start, the court had already cancelled this policy."

Li Dan expressed his understanding. When the court introduced this policy, it did not make it public. The Maritime Merchants Association learned about it, and it was also the emperor's care.

Perhaps it was because of resistance in the court that the policy was quickly cancelled. It can be said that Li Guozhu got a big advantage, while Sun Weida and others did not catch up with this good opportunity.

The emperor was able to take back his fate quickly, and he felt that the advice of his ministers was very reasonable, so he was a little too hasty.

Despite the major disasters, the domestic situation is basically stable. It is not a critical moment. It is indeed inappropriate to give seals when recruiting people and recruit soldiers to officials.

The relaxation of the conditions for the transfer of officials and the implementation of the country, the most affected scholars who relied on the imperial examinations to enter the officialdom. Now that there is a policy of attracting people to provide official positions, the resistance to opposition is naturally greater.

Since the cancellation of the imperial examination cannot be completed in a short period of time, the emperor will regard it as a long-term task and goal. Before this, it is necessary to make appropriate compromises to calm people's hearts.

Anyway, the imperial examination is once every three years, and it cannot admit many officials, and it can also recruit some talents from it.

Moreover, most of the preferential policies for students have been cut off. On the one hand, the court has reduced the burden, and on the other hand, it has forced many scholars to take the path of becoming officials in order to make a living.

The emperor's ultimate goal is to realize the system of civil servant admission and appointment in later generations, so that scholars can start from practice and from the bottom.

Obviously, Li Dan and Sun Weida at the same level would not understand the emperor's far-reaching considerations. Not only were they, most people, did not know that the emperor's ultimate goal was to abolish the system of recruiting scholars that had been passed down for thousands of years.
