Chapter 115: A Gentleman Seeks Righteousness and Profit

Zhang Guoan smoked his pipe calmly, and his actions looked more like a middle-aged uncle with rich life experience. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This would have been inconsistent with his youthful appearance...... But Lu Xiufu didn't feel strange, he only knew that in addition to obeying the strict laws of the Legalists and treating the people, this Zhang Island Master also admired merit and profit too much.

He avoided talking about the Tatars, after all, peace had already been negotiated between the two countries, and it would be useless to talk about it himself...... In fact, if those Tatars could understand the words of the saints, could they still be called Tatars?!

To be honest, he himself understands...... Sometimes people from afar are not convinced, and it is really impossible to cultivate Wende, and they can't be at peace with it...... They're just a murderer, you can't stop it, it's not a matter of peace, it's a question of whether you can survive.

Seeing that his face was cloudy, Zhang Guoan said slowly: "Do you know what the natural necessities of human beings are? ”

“……”

"All it takes is order...... As long as it's a standard order! Even if it is a society built by the Tatars, as long as you look at the same, it is to see if they can be punished in the same way as the Han people if they kill people, and if so, then they have also built a good society...... But do you think they can build such an order?

But I can ...... You see, on the island of Liuqiu, everyone abides by a standard order, a standard law, a standard business condition, and a standard tax payment condition......"

Lu Xiufu smiled and said, "I thought it wasn't a standard...... The profits of the Liuqiu jade and Liuqiu glass produced here must be huge, and no one in the world can have your high income! ”

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, rolled his eyes and said: "This is not good for literati like you, as soon as I say fairness and justice, you say that you want to be absolutely fair and just, I have the ability to process good products, and I also have the ability to earn more money...... I didn't force you to buy it with a knife, nor did I trick you into buying it, it's a condition that we both agree on, what do you mean by me earning more or less?! ”

"How can a gentleman live only for profit?!"

"It's too big...... Why can't a gentleman live for profit? ”

Zi said: "The gentleman takes the righteousness as the quality, the etiquette is the practice, the grandson is the out, and the faith is the success." Gentleman!"

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, nodded, lit the table with a pipe, and said, "This is really nice and reasonable...... But can you do it? ”

This is exactly what I want in my life...... Sacrificing one's life for righteousness, let alone profit?! ”

“…… I believe you can do it, but how can someone else?! ”

"That's why we must spread the words of the saints, practice them, and enter the body and be by others!"

"So...... Can the Tatars ?! ”

“……”

"Look, no, it's not a standard, is it...... Now the most important enemy is the Tatars, so we can only increase our strength through profit, and we can defeat them!

None of the ones you pursue can defeat them, and this often happens to me there, which is called reverse elimination, and bad money drives out good money......"

However, the result of such an argument is far less pleasant, and it is far better to talk about business.

Lu Xiufu wants to restore the previous glory of Yangzhou City, and Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, wants to expand his own market, and the two sides are based on the same position, and the business is easy to negotiate.

Yangzhou during the Great Song Dynasty was different from what the world calls Yangzhou, and it is now considered a broad geographical concept, corresponding to the southeastern region of China south of the Huai River.

Including Yangzhou-Taizhou-Nantong in Jiangsu, southern Jiangsu, Shanghai and other areas.

Lu Xiufu can see more accurately, he found that the silk weaving industry on Liuqiu Island is extremely weak, and the silk weaving in Yangzhou City, although it is not as good as Suhu and Hangzhou, but it is not comparable to Liuqiu Island......

Yangzhou City was in the Tang Dynasty, it was a big town in Guangling, a rich party in the world.

At that time, it was known as the reputation of "Yang Yi Yi Two", Yangzhou City was not only a big city in the Tang Dynasty, but also a world-famous international metropolis, a place where commodities from all over the world lived, and the economic status once exceeded Chang'an and Luoyang, and there was a saying that "the prosperity of the world, Yang is the head".

Yangzhou used to be near the sea, an important port in the Tang Dynasty and an important city on the Maritime Silk Road.

At that time, the prosperity of Yangzhou was also because of commerce, "the Huai waves were uneven, and Jiang Fan came first", in the Yangzhou market of "ten miles long street market", salt, tea, ceramics, gold and silver, jewelry, medicinal materials, fabrics and other commodities were dazzling and beautiful.

Moreover, at that time, the salt and iron transshipment envoys often served as Huainan Jiedu envoys, and had the right to mobilize the gold and silver produced in various places to Yangzhou and present them to the imperial court; In addition, Yangzhou is prosperous in commerce, a large number of gold and silver flow into this place with the activities of merchants, and there are famous craftsmen gathering, exquisite craftsmanship, Yangzhou's gold and silver ware has become the emperor's "Xuansuo" and the treasures of the local officials' exchanges and dedications.

Lu Xiufu said to Zhang Guoan Island Master seriously: "It's better for Zhang Island Master and me to jointly set up a silk weaving industry in Yangzhou City, so as to seek the steam boiler on the island, and you to ask for money here...... Loan to help me develop ...... Yangzhou"

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said: "I provide equipment and start-up capital, so what do you Yangzhou City provide?!" ”

Lu Xiufu said proudly: "I am not talented in the next place, but I still have a certain experience in persuading me to cultivate mulberry...... The weaving and dyeing technicians in my Yangzhou City, how many do you want! ”

Persuade the cultivators, this guy will definitely do it, and he will do this...... There must be silk weaving craftsmen, but how many or how many, the exaggerated techniques of the ancients, but it is not bad to regard Yangzhou as a force point of the silk weaving industry.

By the way, the owner of Zhang Guoan Island did also plant mulberry trees in Liuqiu, or the mulberry seeds introduced from the Great Song Dynasty, but the silkworm farmers he asked for from the Great Song Dynasty said that the mulberry leaves produced by Liuqiu were too hot, and the silk spit out by the silkworm treasure might be yellow...... It is not as good as that produced in the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, was a little annoyed, you said to a person majoring in biology education that Ye Zi was angry?!

However, the raw silk produced is indeed yellowish, and he is not a silk professional, so he also knows that this may be related to the different soil quality...... Just like the porcelain they produce, in addition to the bone china with a very low mass production rate, their porcelain can only deceive the natives who herd cattle overseas, but now it is not easy to deceive, the porcelain produced in the Great Song Dynasty is indeed better than their own.

The owner of Zhang Guoan once said that those natives who herded cattle really earned it, and if they could keep the porcelain bowl and porcelain plate for hundreds of years, a thousand cattle could be exchanged...... It's true.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, thought about it, and this kind of cooperation is really fair and reasonable.

However, he knew the name of a technician, and he also understood that Liuqiu Money Bank had a large loan business, and he had been here for more than a day or two.

It's a big project, and the amount of money that may be involved is in the millions, so you can talk about it slowly.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiufu proposed to jointly set up a processing industry for gold and silver ornaments, and it could be done on Liuqiu Island, and technicians could be dispatched to Yangzhou City.

This one is a little small...... However, this guy said one more sentence, which made Zhang Guoan's owner immediately vigilant, this guy's plan is not small.

Lu Xiufu said: "You can also ask Yangzhou craftsmen to help make V-shaped springs......

The V-spring is the core accessory of the flow firearm in addition to the ammunition...... The Great Song Dynasty can imitate anything, it is this thing that they processed, in any case, it is not as good as the one produced on Liuqiu Island, and the number of pressure bombs is pitiful!

So far, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, has completely let the craftsmen concentrate on hand-making......

So, this guy is eyeing this industry, and the picture is not small.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, asked curiously: "How did you know about this accessory?" ”

"A ...... of wine and dinner"

Ear, you're big! (To be continued.) )
