Chapter Seventy-Six: Giving the Merchant an Official Position
Looking at the majestic man in front of them, everyone had been overwhelmed, and when Lu Bu withdrew the coercion, they dared to tremble and fight. 、
They raised their heads and looked at Lu Bu in awe, one by one showing an excited look, Lu Bu was still a little shocked to be honest, he thought that this group of businessmen would be a little excited to see him, but he didn't expect to be excited like this, in the final analysis, it was because the feudal society suppressed the businessmen too seriously, their status was even inferior to a peasant, and at the same time, it also exposed an embarrassing position for them, with money but no status, which made them eager to be recognized by others. Their performance made Lu Bu more confident about the plan in his heart.
After they all stood up, Lu Bu said: "If you can come here, you must also be a person with a face in the state, come here, take a seat." Seeing Lu Bu's seat, everyone was even more excited, and they bowed one after another: "Thank you general, thank you general." "If only they had been in the past, where would they have done it, and not be blasted out, they already felt that their spring had arrived.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Lu Bu spoke: "Today is a day worth remembering, an organization that will make changes in the Han Dynasty will be born here, and you are the founders of this organization, and you will also go down in history. And that organization is the Business Alliance. ”
At this time, everyone was stunned, "Business Alliance, what is this?" Here, Ding Yang was more bold, so he stood up and pretended to be bold and asked, "Dare to ask the general, what is a business alliance." ”
Lu Bu pressed it with a book, and asked Ding Yang to do it, presumably you don't know what this "business alliance" is, here I will explain to you, the so-called "business alliance" is simply a parity alliance, this is an organization composed entirely of businessmen, the role of this organization is to balance prices, so that it is always balanced within a qualified range, of course, this business alliance is not an idle organization, all businessmen in it will be given corresponding official positions.
"What, give the official position" The merchants were taken aback, and then they asked, "I don't know how the official position of general is bestowed." "People go to higher places, water flows to the place, they also want to be inferior for the rest of their lives, they also want to get ahead, even if they don't think about them, but also for the sake of their children and grandchildren.
Lu Buxu pressed his hand to calm them down, and then explained to them: "Formally speaking, this business alliance is a government agency, not a non-governmental organization. Each of them has the right to formulate and govern the commerce under his rule, and the government will give you a certain official status to be in charge of commerce on behalf of the government. In other words, from now on, you are also a person in the system, and even if you do well and become the president of the alliance, your official position will definitely not be lower than the fifth grade. ”
"Five-rank official position?"
"On behalf of the government?"
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned red, in this era, the most enviable thing is not how much money you have, but that you have an official position. In other words, even if you have a lot of money and you have no identity, others will look down on you, and if you are even the lowest county official, even if your family is surrounded by walls, others will look down on you. Do not doubt that this is the limitation of the times, the sorrow of being a merchant in a feudal society.
