Chapter 131: Fertilizer Business

"If the villain wants to purchase a batch and transport it back to the township, I don't know if it is possible?"

Li Xiangqian glanced at him strangely, isn't the position of the first acting interim president of the Chinese Lawyers Association as profitable as selling fertilizer?

Immediately, he suddenly realized that the so-called lawyer in this era is to play the role of a lubricant, earning the money of a rich businessman who does not know anything about things, and the one with a little bit of identity is naturally to send a post directly to the county official and settle it directly, in this era, as long as a local official does not pull the flag and rebel, it is theoretically to have absolute power at the local level, and he can make his own laws, and if there are less than ten people killed with a wooden cane at one time, it is basically fine.

Compared with later generations, lawyers help formulate contracts, help enterprises study corporate strategies, and don't touch the bottom line of the law, or take advantage of legal loopholes.

For example, in later generations, there was a penguin group with a strong market capitalization, and it raised a team of lawyers who were particularly capable of fighting and stirring up, and its glorious record could be promoted to a world-class team, creating a glorious record of plagiarists suing the original and finally forcing the original to death, and the reputation of plagiarism goose is completely based on its team of lawyers who can fight and stir up.

As long as it is a game that has become popular overseas, people are looking forward to when the penguin will copy the penguin version, and even the plagiarized one is helplessly lying on the ground and admitting it, hoping that the penguin's subordinates will be merciful, and only grab the creativity and not his life.

How do you say that, life is like rape, if you can't resist, then close your eyes and enjoy it.

Even a gold medal lawyer like Mori Changichi who has participated in the game of high-level people, his social status and income are not high.

"Fertilizer is a trifle, huh."

"Yes, Elder, the villain must be honest."

"Fertilizer things, you find someone to do it, it seems that this year can be exported is not much, we first have to ensure that the stock of the northern provinces directly under our management, fortunately at this time the land is sparsely populated, it is not difficult, of course, the cost of transporting to the south, I am afraid that it is not low, I have calculated, the ex-factory price of a bag of fertilizer is two silver dollars, but in the hands of farmers, it is four silver dollars, this is not counting profits, only the price of freight, you think about it, send a bag of urea to Jiangxi, how much silver? It's okay to multiply it a few times. ”

"If it is in previous years, it will not be too much trouble to let the Cao Yun cargo ship from the south directly transport it back."

"That's just as well."

Li Xiangqian thought about it for a while, and understood it in his heart.

The biggest mistake of the Ming Dynasty was not a civil official group or a eunuch, it was all skin.

Instead, in terms of land and sea policy, he chose land power, abandoned sea power, and invested most of his strength on nomadic friends in the north.

But at the same time, the world situation is changing, the progress of technology has made shipping developed, driven by the development of marine trade, and the exchange of production efficiency has been steadily improved.

If the early Ming Dynasty gave up hostility to this poor neighbor in the north, and instead went south, whether it was the Philippines or Southeast Asia, or even Australia, it was almost all in China's bag, but no one had a front and back eye, and it was just like the tide of the Mongols who were oppressed before, and it was a little difficult to make the people of the Ming Dynasty change their minds.

The character of the Chinese is far more complex than that of any nation, to say that the Chinese are bold, but the adventurous spirit is relatively lacking, those Chinese who like to take risks are completely "dead" in the eyes of their compatriots, Chinese culture is very particular about seeking stability, what peace is a blessing, small wealth is peace, contentment and happiness and other ideas are deeply imprinted in the mentality of the Chinese people. At the same time, the Chinese also lack curiosity about the outside world, and there are three driving forces for Western adventurers in the Age of Discovery, one is the incomparable desire for money, the other is a strong curiosity about the unknown, and then on the original business road with China, those Ottomans, and others, are too greedy, originally they could still be divided in half, but the later, almost Europeans earn a dollar, they want to earn ten dollars, who can stand this?

The reason why the Chinese have always guarded their own acres and three points of land, has never colonized abroad in history, is by no means a lack of technical ability, Zheng He's technical strength in the West, but far stronger than Columbus's discovery of the New World, the reason why they did not go out is mainly because of the lack of adventurous spirit and lack of curiosity and interest in the outside world.

In comparison, Pizarro destroyed an empire with a few hundred people, and the gold and silver he caught were almost dozens of times more than their weight, Li Xiangqian was a little discouraged, and the gap was not so big that this situation was.

As long as you have a little money, what you want is to buy land and marry a little wife, and it is difficult to have a slightly more ambitious ideal, especially for Confucians, many people do see the globe and the world map, but the overseas places that the elders painstakingly promote are vast and sparsely populated, and some people are also very good natives who bully, but it has become the main point of Confucianism's shouting.

Maybe for civilians who have nothing, it is not so difficult to stomp their feet out and break in, but as a scholar, at least they are small landlords, how can they care about these things.

As a result, all kinds of strange words also appeared, "My Celestial Empire is rich in products and has everything, and it is not false that foreign goods are available or not." ”

"It is not the way of a saint to leave his hometown and abandon his ancestors' graves, and this is not the way ......of a saint."

"The weather of the new dynasty should be a corporal and close to the gentleman, but the weather of the imperial capital is full of devastation, unorthodox, and there are often ignorant people, steep and rich, drunk and rude, and noisy, this is not a long-term solution."

Indeed, the action of giving money to the bottom in the early stage has definitely made the stability of the regime so strong that if you can't survive, you can emigrate if you can't survive, just like the East Coast of the United States a hundred years later, because as long as the capitalists are a little more oppressive, then the workers will vote with their feet and go directly to play the westward movement, and they will not play with you.

However, many people who have money may not be so innocent, and there are not a few who drink heavily and prostitute themselves.

Of course, the elders all laugh at any discontented voice, which is nothing more than not giving you benefits.

Just as in the Republic of China, the so-called masters lived in a fairyland, dozens of times the salary of others, which definitely made the sense of ownership bursting, who doesn't love such a country, but there is a very strange thing, if these masters are killed, in fact, it has no impact on the fate of the Republic of China.

However, the construction of the motherland is inseparable from intellectuals, but intellectuals do not mean that they can read the Four Books and the Five Classics and are intellectuals.

Li Xiangqian thought for a while and said: "By the way, these books are included, and before the winter of this year, the Capital Library will be built, and these books are all designated collections......"

Mori Changyi took it and glanced at it slowly, discussing the spirit of the Fa...... Social Contract Theory......

Sending the two away, Li Xiangqian did not leave, but kept thinking about something, the library is almost a symbol of the degree of civilization in a city, and the books in it must not be a kind of success study, thick black learning This kind of garbage, but should pursue the true essence of truth.

For the publication of later classics, it is more difficult than imagined, this is not Jin Yong Gulong's, a little change of the leader, it can be directly sold, and it is also widely acclaimed, these basic enlightenment ideas, the first need for a foundation is not low, can not be read as a student book, and all kinds of deviant statements, almost for some people uphold the thing is a devastating blow.

Secondly, these books are full of European-style words, as well as various materials, as well as Western names, place names, time, and places where they are really consumed, and it is here that the elders need to find and replace them one by one, and "sinicize" them, that is to say, in the future, the idea of the foundation of the United States will basically use China, of course, whether there will be the United States in the new time and space, it is really unknown.

In contrast, these works, which are most useful for the construction of a nation, have fallen into a difficult problem, that is, the contradiction between the demand for knowledge of the masses and the scarcity of the number of elders, in order to save trouble in the future, lest a European be clever enough to find some details in a book he saw in 1650, like Li Xiangjun, after seeing something in the Western chronology, he instantly thought of the answer.

No one knows, once the Europeans learned the truth, judging from the news sent back by Xu Hao, these people have touched the true meaning of science and reality, and the hygienic knowledge disseminated by Xu Hao has almost instantly become a manifestation of learning, who doesn't want to live a few more days.

It can be said that the orders passed from Europe to their colonists in Southeast Asia are still halfway through, and in the next few years, there will be more Europeans from afar to explore China, and in fact, John Tong has written at least three letters to send back to Europe, many of which praise and description of the new astonishing changes in the imperial capital.

Thinking of the gap between the two sides in the comparison, Li Xiangqian also sighed, although he knew that Europe may not be perfect, and there are still a lot of fools who should be, but after all, people have embarked on a right path.

Sen Changyi and Gu Meimen walked slowly, as Jiangxi people, the place where they live is very close, Gu Meimen has already been out of the school, self-reliance, but still maintain a very close contact with the master, of course, for this kind of case, or do their best, on the surface they are against each other, or even do not interact with each other, but occasionally communicate, it is also their way of survival.

"Master, what do you think this elder is asking for when he comes to us?"

"Please, people don't ask us," Sen Chang looked at the "Spirit of the Law" in his hand, and said: "Historically, the emperor Lixian corporal, either seeking to be a great sage in governing the country, or sitting on one side of the strong and strong, it is really not good, but also a rich businessman on the rich side, thinking that it is a help, but now, there are no ministers in the imperial capital who are reused, a few elders, almost just decoration, these elders themselves have managed big and small things, and the former Ming officials have become subordinates who only do things, And their financial management methods are incomprehensible, anyway, the real money in their hands is constant, as for the strong military leader, it is too far, from this point of view, where in the world are there people who make them care. ”

"Could it be that the heroes of the world can't get into the eyes of others?"

"A few years ago, the Tartars entered the customs, in Hebei and Shandong, such as entering the realm of no one, it was 140,000 people who were disarmed, and none of them were men, just like that, who dared to call themselves heroes, fortunately, the rulers are also Han people, so they can naturally be cultivated slowly, you have also heard, they have been adopting children, and what they teach is dragon slaying."

Dragon slaying originally referred to a large and useless knowledge, but here, it is obvious that those lucky orphans have directly learned the actual knowledge of governing the country, which can be said to make people envious, jealous and hateful.

Gu Meimen sighed, he was holding the social contract theory, looking through it in his hand, but he never understood the essentials, as a society of acquaintances, China, it was a bit difficult to understand this thing.

Of course, this is also a debate between vernacular and classical Chinese, and the debate that took decades in later generations was directly skipped by the elders, anyway, from the side, ancient dragons can be popular in my Ming Dynasty, which shows that the receptivity of this era is still okay.

However, the two did not go home, but discussed the following actions, in fact, the lawsuit is no longer up to the lawyer to decide, all the facts of the case are clear and clear, and the opinions and ideas of the upper echelons are more important than the facts.

They returned to the Jiangxi Hall, which is a meeting place for the township party, compared to the Zhejiang Party and the Shu Party, the way Jiangxi people hold together is slightly different, even when it comes to the Qing Dynasty, they also like to take the middle and lower roads, so they naturally want to do a good job of the news.

When I went back, I found that the rumors about all kinds of new news came and went, and the biggest news was naturally the progress of the further excavation of the oracle bone inscription, almost everyone here was literate, and the Mongolian school was completed, and the origin of the current text was naturally paid attention to.

Of course, this is what those sour people will talk about every day, and others will talk about it when they are the hottest, not to use their spirit to make money.

The imperial capital has already begun to take the road of the service industry, and it is a huge expense to raise a huge bureaucracy itself, as well as various projects, etc., Gu Meimen also found that even if it is a follower, there are many people who can afford to wear cotton jackets and leather hats, which are much stronger than relying on their own resistance to survive the winter.

All the way to govern the country must first enrich the people, and if the people are rich, it will be easy to govern, and if the people are poor, it will be difficult to govern.

Gu Meimen suddenly realized one thing, the Jiangxi Guild Hall where he was located had not had any disputes for several months, because under such a busy situation, there were really not many people willing to go to court.

The economy is on the upswing.

He slowly opened a newspaper, a newspaper called Qiushi, but it was neither the revelations of the Riba people in the Sun, nor the serious news like the Imperial Daily.

The front page is one, "The War of the Little Seal".
