Fei Qian looked at Cui Hou, in fact, he had considered this question before. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For Cui Hou, if it is just for the convenience of rule, Fei Qian can turn a blind eye, because Cui Hou wants to obtain a higher status and gain greater power, either to take refuge in Fei Qian or to others.

Fei Qian only needed to stare and stop Cui Hou when he was about to bet on the other side.

There are many advantages and disadvantages to this, but it is easier and simpler, but it can be cruel and selfish.

It's like knowing that the young man is strong-blooded, and he just seduces him with that beauty, and then after he stumbles, he says that a certain family has long seen that you have bad intentions......

Whose fault is it?

Whose pot is it?

This is in line with the concept of Confucianism, Confucianism pays attention to self-cultivation, how to cultivate self-cultivation, how to cultivate nature, it all depends on oneself, generally except for family members and teachers, few people will care about others.

Visiting food in front of the glutton, putting beauty in front of the womanizer, and putting money in front of the greedy in order to test people's hearts and select talents?

This is the concept of the Han Dynasty, the way of the Han Dynasty, but it does not conform to the concept of Fei Qian, mainly not in line with the way of Fei Qian's later generations.

Most importantly, it does not conform to the status quo of Fidgen.

No one wants to break their cards, especially if they don't have any cards, and Fei Qian doesn't have too many cards in his pocket, so he has to play each one carefully.

Cui Hou can now be said to be in charge of all the wealth of Fei Qian, if the general is centrifuged because of some small things, then although it may not be as fatal as Guan Erye, it will definitely waste a lot of time.

And for Fidgen, the most precious thing now is time.

This method of testing the loyalty of subordinates is indeed too costly for this stage, so Fei Qian simply wants to take this opportunity to eliminate the possibility of some Cui Hou repeating in the future, and reduce some dangers as much as possible.

Fei Qian retracted his gaze, turned his head and asked Cui Houdao, "Yongyuan, do you know where the word merchant comes from?" ”

Cui Houleng paused, thought about it and thought about it, but still shook his head.

This Cui Hou really hasn't thought about it, and he hasn't studied it, everyone who does business is called that, who will pay special attention to why it's called it?

Fei Qian said: "The seventh ancestor of Shang Tang, Gaozu Wang Hai trained cattle in Shangqiu, and then used oxen to carry goods, traveled to and from other tribes, barter, he was the ancestor of the earliest merchants, because Wang Hai was a member of the Shang clan, the merchant was named after him. ”

Everyone nodded suddenly.

"Then why can the merchant, or the seventh ancestor of Shang Tang, Wang Hai, have something to exchange?" Fei Qian looked at Cui Hou.

By now, basically everyone has understood, the reason why Fei Qian said this, most of them turned out to be aimed at this Cui Hou, although everyone didn't understand Fei Qian's intentions, but they didn't say anything, listened quietly, watched.

“…… Is it because of the farmer's production? Cui Hou looked at the pot on the side and replied.

Fei Qian nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "What Yongyuan said is not completely right, strictly speaking, it should be everyone's labor, and this labor is ......"

"The farmer ploughs the field, which is called labor, the women and children weave and call it labor, the coachman drives the horse, which is also labor, the scholar writes, and it is also labor, and even you and I gallop on the battlefield and recover the homeland, which is also labor......"

"And Yongyuan, you sell back and forth, in fact, it is also labor." Fei Qian looked at Cui Hou and said.

Fei Qian has explained the meaning of labor as simply as possible, but he is still a little awkward, but fortunately, Cui Hou is also more or less mixed in the shopping mall, and quickly grasped the point, the look on his face revealed a kind of brilliance, and said: "What does the envoy mean...... Meaning, what I do is actually the same as a farmer's work? ”

Although at present, Confucianism's discrimination against merchants has not reached the level of later generations, but under the famous saying that "a gentleman is a righteous man, a villain is a profit", businessmen have gradually become representatives of the pursuit of profits, and have become 'villains'.

Now that Fei Qian can hear a comment that equates business with agriculture, Cui Hou is not ecstatic, but he also feels that his waist seems to be able to stand up straighter.

At least Cui Hou can confirm that Fei Qian doesn't want some of the children of the scholar clan to talk about money, as if he wants to close his eyes and plug his ears, as if one more glance and one more word of money will pollute his eyes, ears, mouth, and soul, but he regards Cui Hou as an equal existence with farmers and other industries.

"If a farmer who is good at planting is always unwilling to work in his own country, and only thinks of working for the enemy's country, no amount of such farmer will be of any benefit; A bachelor who is full of wealth, but only knows how to give advice to the enemy country, this kind of bachelor should be killed even if he is more talented; The ancient merchants, there are also many sages, Zigong makes Kong gain power and complement each other, Tao Zhu Gong is rich and good at doing his virtues, and there is nothing wrong with pursuing profits, but it depends on these benefits and where they are used in the end. ”

In fact, in ancient times, if you talk about the time to study wealth, it is more ancient in China, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, including Zigong, Fan Li and others have a very deep understanding of commerce, but after the rise of Confucianism, one is a one-sided understanding of Confucius's words, and one is the centralization of the upper political power in order to better manage the people, and it is hoped that the people will be forever bound in a small area through household registration and other means, so that they can work for generations without causing troubleIt was inevitably difficult to manage, so for most of the time, they were trying to find ways to suppress the small sprouts of capitalism in China, and then they were strangled by feudalism.

Fei Qian looked at Cui Hou and said seriously: "Now our foundation is too weak, in order to be able to send troops to the county as quickly as possible, to make such an arrangement, in fact, it is not commendable, only when we really go to the grassland and pursue profits for the country, is it something we really can boast about, and the Cui family will also gain fame and fortune." ”

Cui Hou was silent for a while, obviously thinking about what Fei Qian said. After half a ring, Fang stood up, solemnly bowed to Fei Qianchang, and said: "Today's envoy's words are firmly remembered in my heart, and I dare not forget them. ”

Fei Qian also stood up and helped Cui Hou up, but accidentally pulled the wound on his thigh, so he grinned in pain again, and screamed, which immediately swept away the serious atmosphere......
