Chapter 184: Convergence (1)

Until he left the gate of the palace, Wang Shun tried his best to show off his wealth to Zhang Yue and Liu Jin.

But what he didn't know was that the more he took out his treasures, the more miserable his future might be.

The name was recorded in the little black book by the emperor and grandson of the Han Dynasty, can it still be pleased?

After leaving the palace and getting into the carriage, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin immediately went into the elm tree and continued their journey.

"Zhang Shizhong, is this businessman's profit really so rich?" After sitting in the carriage, Liu Jin thought for a long time, and finally asked Zhang Yue.

"Of course......" Zhang Yue's mind flashed "Historical Records." The Legend of the Colony and the Book of Han. He thought for a while about the words recorded in the Food and Goods Journal: "I heard that there is a rumor in the market: if the profit is not as good as tithes, it is not a good karma......"

"Twenty percent of profits are not good karma!" Liu Jin was a little incredible.

"Of course!" Zhang Yue said calmly: "The mistake is not the benefit of industry and commerce, it is so significant, how can Dasi Nong support it so far?" ”

Now Dasi Nong's salt and iron income is about to exceed the income of oral endowment.

It ranks among the top three in the country's financial resources, and its status is almost unshakable.

In order to let Liu Jin have a more intuitive understanding, Zhang Yue thought about it and said to him: "If the population is tens of millions today, just the goods that consume 100 yuan per person per year are a market ...... millions."

"What's more, since Bowanghou hollowed out the Western Regions, the markets of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions and their distant countries have gradually been opened up by Han merchants!"

Today, the Silk Road has begun to take shape.

The Han merchants who set out from Chang'an transported a large number of goods and resold them to the Western Regions, from which they were sold to Kangju and Daxia, and sold to places such as Shenzhi, Anxi, and Daqin.

The emerging Silk Road has detonated the business enthusiasm of the whole world at once, creating countless business myths.

Liu Jin listened and sighed: "Poor people who are good at farming suffer from poverty, while people who are engaged in business and lowly industries can enjoy such a rich ......."

This is also the first reaction of most Han nobles and doctors after seeing the exaggerated pomp and circumstance of the wealthy businessmen - a group of lowly people, but the wealth is comparable to that of the prince? you!

"Although what His Royal Highness said is true, it is a bit extreme...... Zhang Yue said softly: "The minister heard: Hong Fan Bazheng, one is food, the other is goods, Zhou Shu said: If the farmer does not come out, there is no food, if the work is not out, there is no work, if there is no business, there are three treasures, and if you don't come out, there is little wealth!" In the past in the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong used the power of light and weight, with fish and salt benefits, assisted Heng Gong, and the princes of Jiuhe were all over the world, Confucius praised and said: Micro Tube Zhong, I was sent to the left! ”

It can be seen that the ancient saints and sages did not have the idea of light business, and the real light business people still started from Qin...... The merchant thought that the merchant was not the people, but he was forbidden by a cruel law, accompanied by a system of suppression and discrimination......"

"And yet...... Shang Jun could not have imagined that the desire to be rich and the desire to get rich are human nature, and whether it is cool or harsh, it is not enough to scare off the desire and pursuit of wealth in the hearts of the people......"

"Between the seventh generation of the Qin State, there are rich people from the Wu clan and the widow Qing, and the wealth is enough to rival the country!"

"To the Qin Dynasty, there was also LΓΌ Buwei, who entered the Qin Dynasty as a 'strange goods to live in', and boasted of Yafu...... It can be seen that businessmen and businessmen cannot be killed or banned! ”

"The minister thinks it......" Zhang Yue looked at Liu Jin and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, why not learn Dayu to control the water?" ”

"It's better to be blocked?" Liu Jin muttered.

"Yes!" Zhang Yue said with a smile: "It is better to block than to sparse, it is better to guide it, businessmen are bad for the people, hurt agriculture, the world is all seen, from the perspective of ministers, the court should build an official office, guide and supervise businessmen, if there is illegality, if there is tax evasion, they will be severely punished, and those who abide by the law and pay taxes actively will be commended...... In this way, even the Jia people will be educated, and they will be able to know benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, and forgiveness......"

Listening to Zhang Yue's words, Liu Jin's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

But he immediately remembered something, and said dejectedly: "If this is the case, I am afraid that the world will be unconvinced!" ”

Yes, Sang Hongyang also played with the salt and iron official camp, did a thing of losing everything, and meddled in the affairs of the businessman's hoarding, and he was already sprayed half-body.

If there is a central agency dedicated to the management of merchants.

Others don't know, but the Gu Liang school must be frying.

The big businessmen of Qilu Liangchu will definitely not do it.

This matter has made a fuss, and the impact is too great, and it is not something that he and Zhang Yue can control now.

Zhang Yuezi also understood that the Legalists spent two hundred years in the Warring States period to write the spirit of hatred and disagreement into the bone marrow of the Zhuxia scholars and nobles.

To change the world's perception of businessmen or industry and commerce, this is not a job that can be done overnight.

The backward production technology and social model before the Western Yuan Dynasty are also intolerable, and there are too many people in a country who are divorced from production, especially food production.

Zhang Yue will not forget that in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, just because of the developed handicraft industry in the Jiangnan region, especially the prosperity of the weaving industry, directly led to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

Because, too much of the land in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been replanted with mulberry trees.

Therefore, the local grain production plummeted year by year, and in the later period, it even needed to import grain from Huguang.

When the north encountered the Xiaoice River, the drought continued.

The fragile rule of the Ming dynasty immediately collapsed.

So, in China, we want to develop industry and commerce.

The first and most important issue to be addressed is not funding, law, institutions and environment.

It's food security.

Only when China is greatly rich in grain and has several stable grain-producing areas will China be able to play industrialization.

Otherwise, anyone who goes to industrialization without regard for food security is playing hooliganism.

Fortunately, Zhang Yue has this capital.

With the help of space, as long as it is promoted, the Empire's food production will double in the next ten years, just around the corner!

When food production keeps up, it means that many wealthy people can be liberated.

This is the basis for playing with business technology.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue was full of confidence, looked at Liu Jin with a radiant face, and said, "Your Highness doesn't need to worry......

He said meaningfully: "I once heard an elder say: The world is ours and yours, but in the final analysis, it is your ......."

When Liu Jin heard this, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhang Yue deeply.

…………………………………………

In the next two days, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin followed the straight road, all the way to the south, visited more than ten pavilions, inspected many farmers and Haoqiang families in Fangyu Society and Xinfeng Township, and at the same time painted the flow direction of the two rivers and several streams flowing through Fangyu Society and Xinfeng Township on the cloth.

By the time they arrived at the gate of the county seat of Xinfeng County, the recorded survey documents and river maps had filled a whole box.

Along the way, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin's biggest gain is that they have first-hand information and impressions of the areas they have walked through.

Now, Xinfeng County's Yushe and Xinfeng Township are no longer two vague impressions.

Rather, it is a lifelike pavilion, a family of enthusiastic and diligent farmers, and a heroic and powerful family that is either bold, stingy or profiteous.
