Chapter 1177: He Fu's Business Dao
Xie Zhen's face was red. He Fu's contempt was so straightforward that he was very faceless, and he couldn't help but want to refute He Fu, but was stopped by Sheng Xian in time.
"Gong He, could it be that this is what Zhong Xiang said about one yin and one yang?"
"I don't know what to do, I don't have the same knowledge as my brother, and I haven't been a big official, I have only been the head of Yongning for one term. But I know one thing, the size of the account is very important. Only with a hukou can there be money and food, with a hukou, there are people who serve in the army, and when governing the river and cultivating the Tao, there is no distinction between men and women, they are all counted as heads, and the state does not say that women do not have to pay money when they levy oral taxes every year. β
"Having said that, but ......" Sheng Xian has been too guarded, and he also knows what He Fu said, the logic is fine, but this result is a bit deviant and unacceptable. That's right, for ordinary people, men and women are actually indistinguishable, they work in the fields and pay taxes the same, but after all, the family is different from the common people, and women can study at home, so how can they still show up and compete with men? Even if the etiquette of the troubled times is lax and can't care too much, can they do it?
Thinking together, Sheng Xian immediately thought of Cai Yan, a female doctor in Nanyang Kindergarten. He had never met Cai Yan, but he had read Cai Yan's ancient writing research articles, and he was knowledgeable, incisive, and often had unique opinions, and he was ashamed of himself. I heard that Lu Kang and Gao Dai inspected the ancient monument of Wu Yue and verified the ancient characters of Wu Yue, which was quite inspired by Cai Yan's article.
As for Huang Yueying of the Wood Academy, there is no doubt that her strength has crushed a large group of men with bearded eyebrows. Otherwise, someone as arrogant as Yu Tuo would never change his attitude because of her words.
Seeing that Sheng Xian and Xie Zhen stopped talking, He Fucai said unhurriedly: "Back then, Gou Jian destroyed Wu, and there were two most important advisors, Wen Chong and Fan Li. Who is Fan Li? Merchant. Why was he able to help Gou Jian destroy Wu? A merchant will calculate, and if he uses a soldier, he who calculates more wins. The Sun family is also a businessman, and General Sun's soldiers are quite businessmen's talents, this is an opportunity for God to help the people of Wujun to defeat the people of Wujun again, but you turn a blind eye and want to compete with Wujun Shilin, which is really overwhelming. β
Sheng Xian was embarrassed. "Please give me some advice."
"The Central Plains War is imminent, the outcome is unpredictable, why did General Sun spare no expense at this time to open a school in Wuhui Tuntian? Yuzhou and Jingzhou are both the front line, and Yangzhou is General Sun's home state and the foundation of General Sun. As long as Yangzhou is held, even if Yuzhou and Jingzhou are lost, he will not be defeated and have a chance to regain his strength. β
He Fu took a sip of wine and tasted it carefully, which also gave Sheng Xian and Xie Zhen time to taste his words.
"Jiangdong's small population gives women the opportunity to study and study like men, but in fact, it is the same as farming and ploughing the fields together, making up for the lack of population. Even if a woman's strength is not as good as that of a man, two should be the head office, right? Besides, learning is not a matter of strength, and women are not necessarily worse than men. Tuntian water conservancy needs machinery, big ships need to go to sea for business, and marching and fighting need ordnance, where do these machinery, big ships, and ordnance come from? Wood School. Huang Yueying is from Jingxiang and Feng Wan is from Guanzhong, can General Sun hand over Mu Xuetang all the way to Jingxiang and Guanzhong? Look at it, it won't be long before the people of Wu County will send the woman to the Mu Academy, and at that time, it will be too late for you to regret it. β
He Fu knocked on the table and spoke earnestly. "You guys, you read to death, you can only read to death in the end. In this 500-year upheaval, only those who seize the opportunity can survive, and those who fail to seize the opportunity can only die. β
"Wait." Sheng Xian raised his hand and interrupted He Fuke. "He Gong, what do you say about the upheaval in the past five hundred years? I've only heard of saints coming out in 500 years, but I've never heard of 500 years of upheaval. β
"That's why you're dying of studying." He Fu smiled. "Five hundred years ago, what was the big deal?"
Sheng Xian thought about it carefully. "Qin annihilates the Six Kingdoms?"
"That's just the appearance, it's the effect, not the cause, and then push it forward."
Sheng Xian hesitated a little, and rolled his eyes for a long time before he said unconvincedly: "Shang Ying's change of law? β
"That's right. Five hundred years ago, Shang Ying changed the law, Qin became stronger, and after more than a hundred years, Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, and the princes became unified under the world. However, the Legalists are rigid and easy to break, and they cannot last long, and there are signs before Qin destroys the Six Kingdoms, so there will be LΓΌ Buwei who governs as a merchant and makes up for it with commerce. Han Xing, attracting the lessons of the dead Qin, and supplementing the law with Confucianism, looks good, but in fact, it is far less real than supplementing the law with business. Why? Confucianism values false fame, merchants value real profits, don't look at you Confucianism is the first to say, and in the end you have to eat and dress, so you go around and around, and finally turn to this road. Whether you like it or not, this upheaval is happening, and it's up to you to seize the opportunity. β
Sheng Xian and Xie Zhen were dumbfounded, and even Kan Ze was stunned. They didn't expect He Fu to have such an idea, thinking that business is the real way to govern the country, which is just nonsense. However, compared with Sun Ce's approach, He Fu's statement seems to have some truth. This is the opposite of his argument just now, it sounds nonsense, but when you think about it, it fits perfectly with the situation in front of you.
Don't...... Is this really the case, what they didn't understand for those of them who read poetry and books were seen through by He Fu at a glance?
He Fu picked up the wine glass, tasted it, and swept Kan Ze's face silently. He didn't care whether Sheng Xian and Xie Zhen believed it or not, Kan Ze just had to understand it. Kan Ze went to Pingyu to see Sun Ce, and he would definitely report this matter to him. Wu Huiren didn't say anything, but he looked down on Sun Ce's background in his heart, Sun Ce must have understood, knowing that he proposed to govern the country by business and correct the name of businessmen, could Sun Ce not return the favor?
As long as Sun Ce understood his intentions, his hard work was not in vain. In order to justify himself, he spent a lot of effort.
Kan Ze was calm and couldn't see his inner thoughts. This made He Fu a little surprised, and he was even more curious. No wonder Yu Tuo will take a fancy to him and promote him, and no matter how knowledgeable this person is, with this heart alone, he is much stronger than Sheng Xian and Xie Zhen, two scholars.
Is ten gold too little?
He Fu thought about it for a while, and was relieved again. Kan Ze was born in poverty, from Shanyin to Pingyu, ten gold is enough. It's useless to give him too much at once, but it seems too deliberate. There will be more opportunities in the future, don't worry, make a good relationship first, and send someone to inquire about it to see what his situation is. If it's a talent that can be created, it's not bad to get married. Sun Ce came from a humble background and has a preference for this kind of poor disciple, if Kan Ze is really talented and can achieve something in arithmetic, his future should not be bad. I heard that Xu Yue's status is respectful, and he is much more popular than the master craftsman of the Wood School.
Sheng Xian and Xie Zhen were too shocked and didn't speak for a long time. He Fu looked in his eyes and sighed secretly. These two people are really stupid to read, and they speak so clearly, what else do they not understand? Especially Xie Zhen, Xie Xuan is still in Chang'an Prison, he actually dares to refuse the Sun family's proposal, does he hope that Xie Xuan will never come back? If it weren't for the sake of the people of Sanyin, I really didn't bother to pay attention to him.
