"Stinky boy, do you think the old man is praising you?"

Chen Fei looked up in amazement and found that Cheng Yanjin's face didn't look like he was joking with him, and he was a little confused for a while.

"What does Uncle Cheng mean by this?"

Cheng Yanjin poured himself a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, put down the wine glass and looked at Chen Fei with slanted eyes.

"Boy, why are you so focused on business, boy? Listen to the old man's advice, while you are not deep now, hurry up and return to your path, go to Guozijian to study hard, and don't let business affect your future career. ”

What's so bad about being a trader? If you can make a fortune and boost the country's GDP, why not? Why is Cheng Yanjin full of taboo when he mentions this matter?

"I don't know how Uncle Cheng can understand? The kid believes that there is nothing wrong with doing business and that it is good for the country's economic development. ”

"By ... Economic development? Cheng Yanjin was once again stunned by Chen Fei's new term.

Chen Fei had no choice but to explain again: "It is commercial development, and only when business develops can goods be exchanged and people's living standards be improved." ”

"Nonsense!" Cheng Yanjin unceremoniously interrupted Chen Fei's words, "If everyone goes to business, who will go to farm?" What do the people eat when there is no one to farm? I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, if there is a war, who will provide supplies for the rations of so many people? If commerce is vigorously developed, won't it put the cart before the horse and plunge the country into chaos? ”

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows and was about to refute, when suddenly he thought of something and became calm.

"Uncle Cheng is right, it's the kid Meng Lang."

Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but feel strange, Chen Fei wanted to refute him just now, why did he give in all of a sudden? This kid is a goblin, so easy to talk to?

"Oh? How did you figure it out all at once? ”

Chen Fei sighed, in fact, the reason for wanting to understand is very simple, this era is different from the era he was originally in, and the rules of society are naturally different.

According to the explanation in the textbook, the Tang Dynasty where he is now is in the "agricultural era".

What is most important in the age of farming? Nature is agriculture!

Low agricultural productivity, low crop yields, and natural and man-made disasters are the most intuitive problems of this era.

A few months ago, Chen Fei followed his father to reclaim the fields, and he personally experienced the difficulties of this era.

If ordinary people want to fill their stomachs, they have to work day and night during the busy farming time, so how can they have any energy to do business?

As Cheng Yanjin said, if everyone goes to business, who will farm? Who will feed the treasury? Isn't this a mess in the country?

If there were high-yield rice fields, high-yield crops, and highly mechanized production like those of later generations, there would naturally be no need to worry about these, but unfortunately, the age was more than 1,400 years earlier, and what later generations could easily achieve in the next 1,000 years.

Focusing on agriculture is the most basic portrayal of life in this era.

Chen Fei bit the golden arch towards Cheng: "The kid didn't think about it carefully before, but now that he understands it, he understands." But..."Chen Fei's tone suddenly changed. "The kid doesn't think there's anything wrong with doing business."

"Humph! The old man thought that you kid was enlightened, but I didn't expect it to be stubborn, the status of businessmen in my Datang is not high, you have the opportunity to be an official and make contributions, why do you have to be a businessman who is looked down upon? ”

Although doing business for all people is not conducive to the stability of the country, it is undeniable that businessmen have indeed promoted social development to a certain extent. Merchants transported goods to the north and south of the river, and people in the north could eat fruits from the south, people from the south could buy furs from the north, and so on. If there is no businessman, dare to ask Uncle Cheng where the wine he drank and the delicious food he ate on the table came from? ”

"This..."Cheng Yanjin looked at the clothes on his body and the food on the table, and was speechless.

"So, the role of a businessman is still very big, but Uncle Cheng didn't notice it, not to mention, Uncle Cheng is not also in business..."

"Shit! How could the old man ever say that he was in business? Cheng Yanjin immediately sank his face and slapped the table heavily.

"Huh?" Chen Fei was stunned, just now he was discussing with me how to do business with a mercenary face, why did he turn his face and deny people in the blink of an eye? You're too thick-skinned, aren't you? What about the festival? Shattered into glass slag?

As if guessing Chen Fei's expression, a single tone popped out of Cheng Yanjin's nostrils. "Humph! The old man never deals with business. ”

Chen Fei pondered for a while and understood what Cheng meant by biting Jin. "In this way, the kid just asks about business matters, and leaves it to others to take care of."

Cheng Yanjin nodded: "It's a waking baby, if only my kid was as clever as you." ”

Speaking of Cheng Yanjin's son......

"Uncle Cheng, I don't know if Cheng Chumo is at home, the kid has something to do with him."

Cheng Biting Jin was surprised: "Oh? When did you meet my boy? ”

"I met in the casino yesterday, hehe, I helped them win a lot of money, a large amount of my money is still deposited in your house, I want to find a place to get some money."

The more Chen Fei spoke, the happier he became, remembering the hour in the casino yesterday, he felt high-spirited, and he couldn't wait to go to the casino again.

If it's so easy to make money, why bother making money? Go to the casino every day, you don't need to win too much every day, winning a few hundred taels means enough, you have to give people a little way to live, right?

Chen Fei fell into a crooked dream, not noticing Cheng Yanjin's gradually blackened face.

"Casinos? They? Hehe, who went with you yesterday? ”

Chen Fei sold Cheng Chumo and the others without thinking about it. "Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chuliang, Cheng Chubi, I and a few of them really hit it off at first sight, and won nearly 9,000 taels of silver in the casino, they are just cool and crooked!"

"Nine... Nine thousand taels of silver? Cheng Biting Jin's eyes were a little straight, he thought it was a small fight, but he didn't expect the amount of money involved to be so huge......

"Someone! Go and call the three stinky boys everywhere, everywhere, and everywhere to the old man! Tell them to come late, Lao Tzu is waiting for the leather whip! ”

The housekeeper outside should have hurried out to call someone.

Chen Fei saw Cheng Biting Jin's murderous face, and suddenly realized a very serious problem.

Did he sell his teammates?

After a while, Cheng Chumo and the three of them stood in front of the big mountain Cheng Biting Jin like three hills.

"Father, are you looking for us? Hey? Isn't this Brother Chen Fei? Why didn't you tell us when you came to the house? As he spoke, Cheng Chumo admitted that he winked at Chen Fei vaguely.

Chen Fei squeezed out a trace of an ugly smile and silently prayed for Cheng Chumo and the three of them in his heart.

Now, whether you can get out of this temple door alive can only depend on your creation, I... Can't help you.

Cheng Chumo and the three of them didn't realize it, and they were close to Chen Feitao.

And Cheng Biting Jin's face behind the table became more and more stinky, and finally slapped the table hard, stood up and picked up Cheng Chumo and kicked his ass: "Stinky boy!" Dare to go to the gambling house! Lao Tzu will discipline you well today! Come, take my whip! ”
