"You and I, husband and wife, don't be so nervous!" Chen Xu's face relaxed a lot, and he hugged Fan Caiying on his lap and began to explain patiently.

"Commerce and the court have never been independent, if a country wants to be rich, it must be prosperous in commerce to do it, so from ancient times to the present, the princes who attach importance to commerce in everything are very rich, the most typical is the former Qi State, starting from Jiang Taigong was enclosed in Qi, vigorously supporting and encouraging the development of commerce, and the Qi State soon rose from the barbaric rise of the East Yiyue mixed with each other to become a great power comparable to the Central Plains......"

"When a businessman earns a lot of wealth in his business, if he does not understand the right time and place, and does not understand practical politics, he will only be an ordinary businessman after all, and he will never be able to control his own destiny, and he will not be able to change the national policy to gain more political status......

"At present, the bustling businessmen in the world are all for profit, but no one has ever had a more long-term plan, in Ben Hou's view, whether it is Tao Zhugong who scattered his wealth three times, or Lu Buwei, who is a strange commodity to live in, although they rely on the shrewdness of businessmen to bring the business to the extreme, but this is far from enough, some things must have earth-shaking changes, the right time, place and people are indispensable......

"At present, the Great Qin Shang Law has been lifted for several years, commerce is booming, the time has come, and now the four Yi are subject to the princes and vassal countries are all bowing to the vassals, and the territory of thousands of miles is subject to the exchange of merchants, which is geographically advantageous, the Marquis supports commerce in the court, from the first emperor to the people have slowly changed their views on merchants and commerce, this is a man and ...... If today's time, place, and people are all available, businessmen need to have enough courage to learn to choose and choose in exchange for an identity and status that matches their wealth, otherwise this money will always be in the air, and it will collapse one day......"

"What, don't you understand?"

Chen Xu said a lot, and found that Fan Caiying, who was holding him in his arms, did not echo the movements and words at all.

"Yes, the concubine that Hou Ye said doesn't understand at all, what is a revolution? What are the trade-offs? Concubines have followed the elders of the family to learn business since childhood, and what they talk about the most is how to make money safely, and they can rely on the princes and princesses, but they must not be entangled with the politics of the court, so as not to fall into a dilemma, so since ancient times, businessmen are businessmen, and they will never go for a higher identity and status, the story of Tao Zhugong is the best proof, and the Lu Buwei that Hou Ye just said is a commercial taboo, and participating in the battle for the prince will be a dead end in the future, regardless of success or failure......"

"Hehe, look at you, I still don't understand, these words are not something that ordinary people can say, your Fan's business education is really different from other businessmen......" Chen Xu smiled and shook his head, "Although in your opinion, businessmen should follow the ancient tradition of doing business honestly to make money, but in fact, it is not, one Tao Zhu Gong and one Lu Buwei, although both of them did not end well, their names and things have been passed down through the ages, and they are more recognized and respected by the world than many monarchs......"

"What is more important than money? Which is more expensive than fame? Those who can leave a name in history are not legalistic people, and the obscure can only be dusty, although Lü Buwei ended miserably, but what he did was enough to affect the pattern of thousands or even tens of thousands of years in China, and the "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" he presided over is also a masterpiece that can be passed on for eternity, although he is a businessman, but his vision has been out of the narrow pattern of ordinary businessmen, and has begun to enter a stage of revolution, if he finally succeeds, Then the businessman will participate in the politics of the court and the formulation of national policies like the current scholars, then the status of the businessmen will be greatly improved, and even be able to compete with the ministers of the scholars in the formulation of national policies, but this requires enough determination and courage, so I said that we must know how to make trade-offs, understand practice, and know how to exchange identity and status with what we are best at......

"In Ben Hou's view, Fan's vision is very narrow, always want to rely on my fame to earn more money, but I didn't think about taking the initiative to pay and get more initiative, everything in the world, only by standing at a sufficient height can I have the opportunity to participate in the formulation of rules, those who look up to people and snort will not be of great use, so Ben Hou is very dislike what Fan is doing now, Ben Hou is not short of money, Ben Hou can not catch up with the means of making money ten Fan Shi combined, and he can't look down on Fan's annual millions of filial piety, Ben Hou needs helpers, What is needed is a companion who can rely on each other and support together, the power above the court is complex and weird, and the promotion of any reform is difficult for thousands of years, just when a commercial law innovation Benhou almost fell short, Benhou is often a little lonely, and some of the originally good national policies can not be well implemented, so Ben Hou hopes that the world's businessmen will not just focus on the money in front of them, but to use the money and influence under their control to enhance their identity and status, and finally participate in the formulation of national policies. The formation of another political force that is very different from the Shi clan, in order to promote Daqin to a more prosperous industrialization and commercialization, and not because of the lack of power and power, which finally leads to the hard-working business situation for others to make a wedding dress, Ben......hou can protect the world's businessmen for a while, but not for a lifetime, many things do not work hard, after all, there will be a bamboo basket to draw water for nothing."

"Cement and steel are the pillar industries that Great Qin relies on to rise, but it is currently controlled by a group of businessmen, and these businessmen are constantly earning things that do not belong to them through various means, which is very dangerous. The reason why Ben Hou wanted to release cement and steel for businessmen to invest in was that the construction of Dongfang Road required a large amount of steel and cement, and the imperial court's finances could not support the development of these two major industries, and second, in exchange for the support of businessmen for Dongfang Road, otherwise Ben Hou would not have won the bet between Ben Hou and Li Si, and then there would be no current commercial prosperity. ”

Now five years have passed, the business pattern of the world has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the businessmen who participated in the investment in cement factories and steel factories have also obtained sufficient returns, and the court is also worried and discussed about the situation of businessmen controlling the two pillar industries of steel and cement, just like Huaxia Qianzhuang, these lifeblood industries that can affect the development of the country If the court and the emperor cannot control them, do you know the consequences......" Chen Xu looked at Fan Caiying and said seriously.

Fan Caiying had completely understood Chen Xu's words at this time, and nodded slightly with a pale face, "Master Hou, concubine understands, you said that at present, the important industries of steel and cement will be returned to the control of the Shaofu and the court!" ”

"Yes, this is not only an attitude, but also a rare opportunity, if the Fan family can first stand up and hand over most of the huge steel industry equity under control to the court and the emperor, this marquis can write to the emperor to give Fan Gong a high lord, although the Fan family gave up a lot of money, but in exchange for a talisman, from then on among the top nobles, no longer just a lowly merchant family!" Chen Xu nodded slightly and said.

"Master Hou...... This...... This can't be, except for Kai Lu Buwei, Daqin has never had a merchant knight, even if he built the horse pawn equipment back then, the court did not have a knight, but only a nominal Jiupin Lang official......" Fan Caiying was excited and surprised.

"Hehe, I just said, this time and that time, the original construction of horse pawn equipment is also the imperial court lack of money, so this is the temptation to seduce the world's businessmen to participate in the Lang official reward, and later gave enough compensation, but the current situation is completely different, Fan now has ten ironworks, more than 20 coal and iron mines under the control of investment, all over Nanyang, Hedong, Shangdang, Hanoi, Handan, Taiyuan and other rich and prosperous places in the Central Plains, smelting tens of millions of catties of steel every year, participating in the people, The number of prisoners and slaves reached 100,000, so Fan's identity can no longer be regarded as just an ordinary businessman, the entire steel industry is ten times the size of Fan's, so every move can affect the court's decision-making and civil stability, without the good support and cooperation of the local government, the merchant is unable to control such a large asset and power, because the huge capital and enough manpower will appear many uncontrollable situations, when His Majesty toured the southeast, Wancheng copper and iron merchant Ran Yi, hundreds of people attacked the emperor, and the line is a lesson from the past......"

Fan Caiying's face turned a little paler, and Chen Xu could feel that her gentle and full body was trembling slightly.

"Don't be nervous!" Chen Xu comforted Fan Caiying, and the method of comfort was very simple and direct, a pair of hands slowly probed into the dress, and touched a pair of extremely full and tall white rabbits, and gently teased it with his hand, and suddenly Fan Caiying, who had not been in contact with Chen Xu for more than a year, instantly became confused, and with a soft moan in his mouth and nose, his body weakened and fell into Chen Xu's arms.

"Master Hou, since the concubine was pregnant with Erniang, she has not served Master Hou for more than a year, is it okay to let the concubine sleep tonight?" Fan Caiying, whose eyes were touched by Chen Xu, couldn't help but beg softly.

"Hehe, how can I wait until the evening, I haven't touched it for a long time, it seems to be much bigger......" Chen Xu touched and pinched his admiration, and when he spoke, he couldn't help but hold Fan Caiying and stood up and walked to the inner room.

"Master Hou, that's not big, it's Erniang's food!" Although she is an old husband and wife, Fan Caiying is still shy.

"I see, but Erniang is fed by a nurse, there is no shortage of these snacks, Ben Hou also likes it, hehe......"

"Lord Hou likes it, and the concubine likes it too~~"

With a clang, the door was kicked shut, and the lewd laughter of a certain bad lord and the happy words that a woman couldn't hold back came from the room.
