Zhuo Lai blushed and looked at Zhuo Shu angrily. Seeing that Bai Ji opened his mouth to stop him, his face looked a little better, and he smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know ...... you know."

"Oh? Am I ignorant? ”

"No, no, no......"

Zhuo Lai shook his head again and again, he really didn't mean it. Zhuo Shu in the back couldn't help laughing and didn't dare to speak. Seeing this scene, Zhuo Lai's face became more and more embarrassed, this kid really relied on someone to support him, and he became more and more lawless.

"Jia Ren's status is low, and Lai spent more than 10,000 dollars to get this opportunity. There are several great Confucians in the palace, and there are even more personal guidance from the king, if he studies well, he may not be able to become a servant in time. At that time, it is better than being a Jia person. ”

Look, there have been conflicts between father and son over the years. This is similar to later generations, Zhuo Shu wants to be a businessman, while Zhuo Lai hopes that he can take the official ape exam. When the time comes, the glorious lintel will also be good for the Zhuo family. When the time comes, there will be a collusion between officials and businessmen...... Isn't it beautiful?!

Bah! Dirty!

Zhuo Lai didn't think about it so much, he just hoped that Zhuo Shu could be an official.

Bai Ji was not in a hurry, and motioned for Zhuo Shu to come to him. Looking at him, he asked with a smile, "Why do you want to be a Jia person?" ”

"I want to do something for A-Ong......"

Zhuo Shu lowered his head and spoke. When he spoke, he secretly glanced at Zhuo Lai, for fear that his father would beat him again.

"The old man doesn't need your help!"

"Shut up."

Bai Ji glared at Zhuo Lai. As soon as the words fell, Shang Niu and the others closed the door one after another. Several sturdy dogs came out, barking non-stop. These are all sent by Xi before, and they have grown up after a few months.

Zhuo Lai: ......

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhuo Lai opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time.

Is this the case?

"Ahem!"

Bai Ji coughed lightly, and last time he raised his mouth with Shang Niu. And so he did. Then, he continued to look at Zhuo Shu and said with a smile: "So, you don't want to be an official, you just want to be a Jia person?" ”

"Hmm!"

"When you are a Jia person, you must be good at arithmetic. So, I'll give you a question. Is there a problem with a pound of fat and thin Shanbi meat that costs ten yuan, six dollars for a pound of fat, and four dollars for a pound of thinness? ”

In fact, this question is very stupid, Zhuo Lai instantly thought that there was a problem. The fat one should be twelve dollars, and the thin one should be eight dollars. If you do this kind of business, then this Jia person will have to lose and die. It's just that there is another problem, this is said by Bai Ji......

"Yes! Twelve dollars for fat meat, eight dollars for skinny! ”

"Oh? Do you dare to question my question? ”

"Still not admitted?!"

Zhuo Lai slapped Zhuo Shu's head hard.

Who in this Qin State dares to say that Bai Ji is wrong?

In terms of Bai Ji's status, it is really a matter of one sentence to kill Zhuo's family. Think about it, Zhao Gao, who was once invincible, is not now obediently drinking water and committing suicide? He heard that Zhao Gao just said a bad word about Bai Ji.

"Shang Niu, drag him down for me and let Fat Tiger communicate with him."

"Whoa!"

Zhuo Lai was so frightened that he almost knelt down for Bai Ji, "I won't say it......"

"Right is right, wrong is wrong. Who told you that I couldn't make a mistake? Bai Ji looked at Zhuo Shu again, and said with a smile: "There is also knowledge in trading, you think if you are not smart enough, you will lose money in trading, right?" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhuo Lai wanted to deny it, but when he saw a fierce beast at the door, he finally swallowed his words back. Bai Ji looked at Zhuo Lai and said seriously: "Actually, you don't have to be presumptuous, there is nothing bad about Jia Ren." ”

"Your Majesty, Shang Jun once said......"

"Shang Jun has been an ancient man for more than a hundred years, so don't bother his old man anymore. The Qin State during the Shang Dynasty was such a big place. The current state of Qin has already dominated the Central Plains and annexed the six countries. You should have heard the story of the Chu people carving boats and begging for swords, right? ”

The father and son nodded at the same time, this story is from "Lu's Spring and Autumn", they have naturally heard of it. It is about the Chu people who sank their swords in the river, and they only carved a mark on the boat, in a vain attempt to find the sword with the mark. It seems absurd, but in fact, many people are like this.

Times have changed, but they still do things the old way.

Not only Zhuo Lai, but many people are like this.

In Bai Ji's view, the Jia people are not flood beasts. There are Jia people who suck the blood of Qianshou, but there are also many Jia people who have done many good things for the benefit of the country and the people with their enthusiasm. It is not easy for them to travel from south to north, and they have to take all kinds of unknown risks.

There are many natural and man-made disasters, and there will be bandits and robbers at every turn. If you are lucky, you will lose some money, and if you don't look good, you may get cold.

The development of merchants is conducive to the economy, and at the same time, it can also increase commercial taxes and reduce the tax of Qianshou land. The increase in merchants will inevitably lead to an increase in jobs, and the Qin State will also be able to transform from agriculture to part-time workers and half-farmers. As long as it is properly controlled, it is a good thing for Qianshou.

When it comes to control, it's too easy in the Qin State...... Even if it is an existence of the level of widow Qing, in the end, because of Qin Shihuang's words, he left his hometown and came to Xianyang, and died in a foreign land. They are just mountain babies, and they can't eat too fat, otherwise they will be easily slaughtered by the pigs of the year.

So, Bai Ji is not worried. He can't say for sure what will happen in the future, anyway, he will live a long life, and he will adjust it when there is really a problem in the future. If there is really a blood-sucking businessman, then he can only slaughter the other party.

"In the near future, the Qin State needs businessmen to drive economic development, and we also need you to make Qianshou live a better life. Not to mention anything else, the wool in Henan is still waiting for you. ”

Zhuo Lai actually didn't understand very well, but what Bai Ji said was definitely right.

With the opening of the wool road, the most raised on the grassland in the future will no longer be horses, but sheep. Because they are not fools, they can eat and dress well with wool, and they will not want to risk their lives to break into the Qin State. There will certainly be belligerent hawks, but they won't shake the big picture.

There is no need for gray wolves and eagles in the grasslands, as long as there are docile sheep. If there really were wolves and eagles, then the white grass would slaughter them!

"So, it's no problem to be a Jia person. Since he likes to do it, he goes to learn. Do what you love and work in the direction to get the same good results. ”

Bai Ji looked at Zhuo Shu, "Just stay, it's good to learn something, wouldn't it be beautiful to become the richest man in Qin in the future?" ”

"No, no, no......"

This scared Zhuo Lai a lot.

The richest man?

Don't want to die?!

Shoot the first bird, they don't need to do that to that extent. The most important thing is that the clansmen can pass it on from generation to generation, and money is secondary. Therefore, Zhuo Lai will send Zhuo Shu to the Academy Palace. Just looking at Bai Ji's current attitude, it seems that this is the idea......

He didn't know if it was good or bad, but it was always good to learn something. According to Bai Ji, the follow-up Qin State will need merchants, and their status will also increase. It's definitely a good thing for them......
