Chapter 196: Be a Little Death Expert
In ancient times, the so-called four people, that is, Shinong industry and commerce!
In this era, everything is admired, and only reading is high. Reading can be virtuous in the heart, meritorious in the world, meritorious in words, Ze is descended, so the scholar should be ranked first. No matter how poor a family is, as long as there are scholars in the family, they will be respected.
Learning and excellence, reading also means that there is the possibility of being an official, as long as one is promoted, he will break away from the civilian class and step into the ranks of the squire.
In a country dominated by agriculture, the importance of food is self-evident, and the monarchs of all dynasties, even if they are brutal and mediocre, will encourage production and persuade agriculture to teach agriculture, because food is the foundation of the country.
As the so-called February 2, the dragon raised its head, long live the emperor to make the golden bull. The three kings and the four ministers walked in front, leaving the big courtiers behind. The mother of the main palace came to deliver the meal to ensure that Li Min received it in the world.
The example of the emperor farming is not uncommon, when Tang Taizong Li Shimin personally went to the field to plough the land, which may have some elements of showmanship, but it can also be seen that the imperial court attaches great importance to agriculture. And the peasants are the producers of grain, and their status is not low, only behind the scholars.
As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and with the help of tools, you can improve efficiency. There are 360 lines, each of which requires tools, and the daily necessities are produced by the workers, and the various commodities are all produced by the workers.
Some people farm when they are busy, and when they are free, they will go out to work and earn some money to subsidize their families, so there is no separation between agriculture and labor, and industry is closely behind agriculture.
The lowest of the rank are the poor merchants, who are interconnected, dependent on others and then able to do so, looking like parasites. On the surface, businessmen are very incontributing, and will only extract the wealth and labor income of others, which will be very despised.
It is an inevitable law for businessmen to pursue profits, but in this era of advocating benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust, it is a very shameful thing to pay attention to profits.
In the emperor's view, businessmen do not produce, but can obtain a large amount of silver, if the peasants are "abandoning the basics and ending to the end" and no longer produce food, it will shake the national capital and weaken the rule of the dynasty, so all dynasties will formulate the basic national policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of this dynasty, ordered: order the peasants to wear silk, yarn, silk, and cloth, and the merchants to stop clothes and silk. If one of the peasants is a merchant, he shall not be clothed in silk or yarn.
This means that peasants can wear silk gauze, while merchants, even if they are rich, can only wear coarse cloth clothes, not silk gauze clothes, so many rich people can only hide at home and secretly wear silk.
Cao Wei felt that the businessman was very aggrieved, he was obviously very rich, but he couldn't wear good clothes, and he was still looked down upon for the silver he was tired of. If you don't do good deeds, you will be scolded by others for being rich and unkind, and you will be treated like this without recruiting anyone to provoke anyone, which is really a dog and a sad heart.
Cao Wei is now slowly instilling a concept in Zhu Houzhao: money is very important, and there is no shame in doing business. Because in his view, business is really important, and the development of business can make the country more prosperous. If you really want to make Da Ming strong, the identity of a merchant must be mentioned.
As soon as he left the East Palace, Cao Wei was about to return home, Wang Shouren caught up and said, "Lord Cao, thank you for escorting Lin'er to Beijing, Lin'er likes to mess around, if there is anything wrong, please don't blame." ”
"Zhu Lin?" Cao Wei was surprised: "She said that she came to Beijing to look for relatives, but she didn't expect that it was you." She went to your house and abducted two of my servants. ”
Wang Shouren smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Cao, your two servants can make my Wang family miserable, since the two of them came to the palace, the family began to lose things, but they couldn't catch anyone on the spot, my father wanted to expel the two of them from the mansion, they said that they were running errands under you......"
"How dare you tarnish my reputation!" Cao Wei snorted coldly and said, "Tell Lord Wang, just say that you don't have to give me face, just beat those two shameless guys hard, and then throw them out of the house." ”
Wang Shouren was stunned and said, "Lord Cao is not joking? ”
"No, you don't have to be too light, just help me teach a lesson to the house."
Wang Shouren nodded and smiled: "I understand, don't hide it from Lord Cao, I have long seen that the two of them are not pleasing to the eye, every day there is a lot of trouble in the house, the house has been stolen by the two of them, even a piece of beloved jade pendant in my room is gone, if it weren't for Lord Cao's face, I would have pulled them to see the official a long time ago." ”
"The family is unfortunately ......"
Cao Wei was about to chat with Wang Shouren for a few words, but when he saw Ren Hao running over in a hurry, he said with a smile: "Brother Ren, don't come unharmed!" ”
Ren Hao cried with a sad face, and said: "Sick and sick, Brother Cao Xian, you must save your brother this time, otherwise your brother will have no way to live." ”
Wang Shouren bowed his hand very much, and Cao Wei frowned and said, "What's wrong?" Could it be that the sky has fallen? ”
Ren Hao smiled bitterly: "It's really falling, not long after I came to Beijing, I saw that there was a group of people in the jurisdiction who were collecting protection money. This is simply a business competition with our brocade guards, so I sent my men to beat them, who knew that this group turned out to be a noble man's servants......"
"Didn't your men know to warn you?"
Ren Hao's face became even more bitter, and said: "Remind me, they all said that these people can't be provoked, but you also know that at that time, my brother had just been promoted, and he was a little carried away, so he told them that everything happened to me was in my pocket, and let them just beat it, so my subordinates beat this group of people so hard that they called them mothers......"
Cao Wei sighed and said, "Did you talk to yourself afterwards?" ”
“…… Hit! When I knew who the group of people were, I slapped myself twice, and then helped the group lying on the ground up, and stuffed two taels of silver into each of their pockets, wanting to keep the matter private, but they insulted me and told me to wait for death.
You know, my brother is a little anxious, so he can't listen to this kind of talk, and he beats them up with his own hands......"
Ren Hao acted like this, Cao Wei didn't know what to say, if you want to say death, this Ren Qianhu is definitely a classic case in death, a little expert in death. However, Cao Wei has a lot of friendship with Ren Hao after all, and he can't do it without saving him.
"Who is that nobleman? I'm going to help you reconcile, I don't know if it will sell me face, I'll do my best. ”
Ren Hao was overjoyed and said: "The grace of the virtuous brother to save his life, the foolish brother is unforgettable, that person is today's national uncle, Shouning Hou Zhang Heling, he threatened to slowly kill the foolish brother, the virtuous brother must save his life!" ”
Cao Wei suddenly smiled, he was about to look for him, but he didn't expect him to come out on his own, if it was a little difficult to level other people, this Shou Ninghou is not difficult......
"Brother Ren don't have to worry, this matter will be left to me, and I just want to meet this Shou Ninghou for a while. The next time you see the same group you beat last time, you'll beat them up again, and I'll take it with you. ”
Ren Hao shouted: "Brother Xian, what are you going to do?" ”
"Appointment! It's a bit peculiar, but it's going to work very well......"
