When everyone was quiet, Cai Boyu bowed and saluted: "Minister Cai Boyu greets Your Majesty!" ”

There was a sound in the living room for a while, everyone looked at Cai Boyu blankly, some people even thought that he was having hysteria, how could the official family come to this kind of place in person, even if the official family attaches importance to business and improves the status of businessmen, but after all, the status of businessmen in society is still the same as before.

The literati despise it, and the martial artists disdain it even more, but now no one takes the rise of businessmen seriously, and most businessmen reject their profession in their hearts, and do everything possible to send their children and grandchildren to study and enter the office......

Zhao Zhen slowly walked into the living room, the merchants on both sides bowed down like a tide, Zhao Zhen saw not calm, no self-confidence, but a group of weak people who groveled and became a habit, the people of the Great Song Dynasty actually did not have to bow down after seeing the emperor, the higher the social status, the simpler the etiquette.

These merchants in front of them are all wealthy families in Tokyo City, and their social status is definitely higher than that of ordinary people, but when they face themselves, they exude a feeling like ants, which should not appear to them at all.

To be honest, Zhao Zhen was a little disappointed, watching everyone fall to the ground and frowning slightly, and drank angrily: "Raise your heads, look at your appearance, where does it look like a rich businessman?" ”

After being scolded by Zhao Zhen, everyone became even more nervous, and lowered their heads in panic.

In the audience, only Cai Boyu knew the meaning of the official family, and only he understood why these businessmen were in such a state.

Cautiously walked to Zhao Zhen's side and whispered: "The officials don't need to be angry, they are all used to it, and the more they are like this, the more panicked they are." ”

Zhao Zhen sighed slightly and said: "Yes, no, they are all people who have contributed to my Great Song Dynasty, and they are no worse than others, but they still feel that their status is low, which is the reason for me." ”

Striding to the top position, Zhao Zhen spoke: "Flatten, you don't need to be so sad in front of me, you should stand up straight, straighten your chest, and raise your head!" You are all heroes of my Great Song Dynasty, why are you so cowering? ”

Everyone looked at the officials in surprise, they were affirmed by the emperor for the first time, and they praised them in person in front of them, and for a while many people couldn't reflect it, and they were stunned and stiff in place at a loss.

Zhao Zhen looked at their expressions and slowed down and said, "You don't have to be so surprised, all of you here are businessmen from my Great Song Dynasty, what is a businessman?" It is the main source of tax revenue for the Great Song Dynasty, and you represent not only yourself but also thousands of peers, and to put it mildly, I have to rely on you merchants to obtain taxes and goods. It can be said that you are the pillar of my Great Song Dynasty's financial resources, so why do you feel that you are inferior to others? ”

Zhao Zhen's words gradually opened the hearts of the businessmen present, yes! Pay taxes to the Great Song Dynasty by yourself and make money through your own ability, what can't you look up to, businessmen, what's wrong with businessmen? Isn't this Jane's concubine in the emperor's heart, Cai Boyu, also a businessman?

Zhao Zhen, who was at the top, saw the change in the expressions of the merchants, and smiled slightly, it seems that his speech this time has a key role for them, and also plays a key role in the entire Great Song Dynasty business community.

Yu Wancai, the eldest shopkeeper of Fuchun Firm, raised his head and said: "The official family is serious, I am just a businessman who is slightly higher than the pawn of the peddler, in the final analysis, he is still a snob in the eyes of the literati, and he cannot get on the big stage." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at it, the old man named Yu Wancai in front of him did not look like a businessman, but more of a Confucian appearance, this is a cover for him to get rid of his identity as a businessman, but this kind of cover still can't hide the fact that he is a businessman.

"This is a bad statement, first of all, you have to know what kind of person I say you are, you are what kind of person, I say that you businessmen are due to the Great Song Dynasty, then you are due to the Great Song Dynasty, this is undeniable, you dress so elegantly, can you change your identity as a businessman? If you look down on yourself, can others look down on you? In my opinion, businessmen should be self-reliant, self-reliant, and self-disciplined just like scholars! Your most precious quality is integrity, and I want you to keep it up, which is more precious than money, and more priceless than gold. ”

Everyone's hearts were slowly softened by Zhao Zhen's words, and they could see that the words of the official family were so true, and the humility in their hearts began to gradually dissipate.

The body slowly relaxed, and his expression naturally became relaxed, Zhao Zhen could see these clearly, nodded slightly, and said: "I won't tell you much about the big truth, I believe you can also understand that this bid is for the rebuilding of the foreign dynasty, the project is big, and I believe you also understand the amount of labor." ”

Everyone said in unison: "The grass people know. ”

"Well, I can tell you frankly that the reconstruction of the Outer Dynasty is very important, and every business here has the opportunity to participate, and I do not plan to requisition labor, this time in a new way, so you should redouble your efforts."

Zhao Zhen's words made the merchants excited, everyone could participate in it, and the meaning of the official family was very clear, this was to plan for the imperial court to pay for them to build the Great Song Palace, even if it was a foreign dynasty, it was a very glorious thing.

In fact, there is no need for Zhao Zhen to say that the businessmen present will take it seriously, this is the first time that the royal family has entrusted the construction of the palace to them, how can they not be careful? But this time, Zhao Zhen did more to encourage businessmen.

After Zhao Zhen left, Cai Ji's living room really exploded.

"The Emperor's grace is immense! The Emperor's grace is mighty! ”

"Who's to say it isn't? Let's stick the old book and let the project be completed as soon as possible! Otherwise, it is worthy of the attention of the officials? ”

……

The buzzing sound made Cai Boyu dizzy, he originally planned to use the competition of these businessmen to promote the choice of this bidding, who knew that the official family did not play cards according to common sense at all, and directly let all the businessmen participate in the construction of this time, and there was such a good effect to unite all the businessmen.

This is a difficult thing for businessmen who are usually competitive.

There is no need for Cai Boyu to say more, the businessmen consciously began to group, and the same type of work formed a group to undertake their own corresponding projects, the speed and efficiency made Cai Boyu staggered, or the words of the official family worked, and one sentence was worthy of 10,000 sentences.

Zhao Zhen didn't know how much impact his words to motivate the merchants were, the construction of the outer dynasty had been divided among the merchants, and the merchants in charge of the wood gathered together to take over all the wood, while the merchants in charge of the carpentry took over the corresponding carpentry work, and they had enough workers in their hands to complete these.

The moment Cai Boyu walked out of the living room, he felt that he had not recovered from the clouds, and all the reconstruction of the foreign dynasty was divided up by the businessmen in the living room, and there was nothing left, and even the simplest roads were built by someone......

What's even more depressing is that Cai Ji didn't get any benefits, he was completely losing money and making money, and he was blind with so many melons, fruits, snacks and tea!
