Chapter 728: The Way of Business and the Road of Kings (Part I)
"Changed?"
You Shixiong stroked his beard and pondered Yang Huairen's words, maybe he thought of something, but he didn't dare to be sure of that bold idea.
Yang Huairen looked at You Shixiong's puzzled appearance and smiled indifferently, "Don't guess, the first thought that appeared in your head at the beginning was actually the correct answer." ”
"Yang Huairen, are you serious? Don't let me rejoice. ”
You Shixiong said this extremely seriously, and Yang Huairen also became serious, and nodded solemnly, "It's the puppy who deceives people." ”
"So how do you know? Has the official leaked anything with you? ”
"Don't need the official family to leak the wind, think about it, which one in this history became the emperor, and which one didn't want to expand the territory and leave the name of a holy monarch?
Let's not talk about expanding the territory first, let's just talk about recovering the lost territory, which can still be done. ”
You Shixiong thought that Yang Huairen might be too young at first, and when he heard that the wind was rain, some things might have been hearsay, so he added fuel and vinegar to his understanding.
But when he heard Yang Huairen's later sentence, You Shixiong began to feel that Yang Huairen's words did not seem to be exaggerated, but to the truth, and his attitude was sincere enough, not at all like his own imagination.
For an old frontier army general like You Shixiong, he can only dream about opening up the territory and expanding the territory, but he doesn't dare to really fantasize about it, and recovering the lost territory is what their group of people want to see the most, and they are most willing to do it in person, and they also feel that if they take action, it is completely feasible.
"Does the imperial court have such a plan? Will the civil servants approve of the Holy Lord's actions? Although I heard that there were a group of trustworthy people in the court, no matter how the courtiers were changed, in their bones, they did not want to see the Great Song Dynasty fight. ”
You Shixiong still didn't dare to be sure of anything, just because he had experienced too much before, there were too many cowardly literati in the court of the Great Song Dynasty, and they always packaged their timidity and fear with patience and peace-loving, and soldiers like You Shixiong no longer dared to imagine that they would change their faces.
Yang Huairen fully understands You Shixiong's worries, and he doesn't want to make any promises to him, or explain too much, what should happen will always happen, not because of who said it, nor because the people who heard it didn't believe it.
"That's all I have to say, you can do it yourself."
You Shixiong also understands the truth here, since Yang Huairen is unwilling to say more, it is inconvenient for him to ask more, and asking too many questions will make both sides embarrassed.
But since this is possible, then he will start to let his men prepare in full swing, and there is always nothing wrong with planning ahead.
You Shixiong, who figured it out, began to take the initiative to divert the topic, "Yang Huairen, you kid also started selling yaks in the face of other businessmen, and you are still so calm, which makes me feel very strange, it is not at all like your previous style, aren't you afraid that others will rob your family's business?" ”
"Afraid?"
Yang Huairen smiled, "There is no fear of this word in the dictionary of buddies!" Lao You, you are naturally an expert in military affairs, and when it comes to doing business, you are a layman.
In this world, there is no reason for one company to do it. If someone else can open a restaurant, then I can also open a restaurant, and as long as my food is delicious, the restaurant business I open will be better than the restaurant business opened by others.
In the same way, I can buy yaks from the Tibetan people to make a profit, and other businessmen can do the same, and there is no reason to hold other people's calves and stomachs to prevent people from doing business and making money.
It is said that peers are like enemy countries, there is such a situation, but between businessmen and businessmen, it is not completely ruthless and unjust, all walks of life are the same, the industry has its own rules, no need to write it down into a book, but everyone is acquiesced, and then must abide by the principle.
In the yak sales business, although in our Great Song Dynasty, it was started by me, but it is absolutely impossible that I am the only one who arranged this business.
As long as this trade makes money, there will be other people who are blushing, and then participate, this group of people is just the beginning, when they make money, there will be more people to join this line of trading, that is to say, in the future, there will be more and more businessmen looking for your help. ”
You Shixiong sighed, "It seems that it is really like what you said, I can't escape from this matter, I can only choose to let it go, and if I want to leave this matter to others to do, I can only withdraw and hide on the side."
I just don't understand, isn't it very good for these people to farm at home, why do they run such a long way and are under the name of a despised businessman? ”
You Shixiong's words, although he didn't name him, he didn't like the code of conduct of businessmen, and he didn't approve of this kind of pursuit of fame and fortune, but what he thought in his heart should not be said by Yang Huairen, that is, he couldn't get used to these businessmen.
In Yang Huairen's heart, in fact, he has never regarded himself as a big official, or a county official, he has always regarded himself as a small cook and a small businessman.
Therefore, he really wanted to explain to everyone who looked down on businessmen that the development of commerce is a huge boost to promote social development and improve the living standards of ordinary people.
It's a pity that in this era, everyone is invisibly influenced by the ideology of the whole society, and businessmen are third-rate representatives in the eyes of ordinary people.
Yang Huairen raised his eyes to look at the light outside the door, and said lightly, "Old General You, what you said is true, but you can't say it right. Since there are all walks of life in this world, the existence of every profession is also reasonable.
Only when farmers farm can we have food to eat and survive; And with the work of craftsmen, we have a house to live in, furniture to use, and these cups, pots, saucers and bowls to use; With soldiers like you guarding the frontier, the common people can live and work in peace and contentment.
Of course, it is also because of businessmen that the output of all walks of life is flowing, and it is also legal and reasonable for them to make money in the process. ”
Yang Huairen turned his head and raised the tea cup on the table in front of him, "Let's just say that this tea is also produced in the south of the Yangtze River and sold by merchants to the northwest, so you can buy it, right?"
And what you wear, use, a lot of it is not produced by you, but also bought, right? If there were no merchants to circulate these goods, what difference would there be between our lives and those of the savages of the blood-drinking era?
And I am ashamed to say that in the current situation, business is more effective than the royal way. ”
